Yes I'm back and I know you're bursting with excitement to read this super-mondo fabulous chapter. Because the other one was very short and I'm a loser, yes I know, I've heard it all before.
A lot.
A lot a lot.
Now quit listening to me and read, STUPID! Gggggeeeeessssseeeee who's the loser now??
I was still sitting there in the water 15 minutes later when I heard someone swimming toward me. I peeked around the back end of the jet-ski to see Jacob swimming toward me.
"Fabulous," I muttered to myself.
"What's fabulous?" He asked.
"Oh I was just admiring the…color of this jet-ski! It's really, uhh, different. Nice and red. More of a brick red though which makes it nice and unique, you know?" I said, improvising.
"Yeah we all think the color is fabulous. So how was your kiss, oh sorry, I mean kisses with Edward. Ya'll had a nice lip lock going on there before we came up. And it looked pre-tty steamy when you jum—"
"Would you shut up?!" I snapped. "I came over here so I wouldn't have to hear any crap about that. Yet the crap seems to follow me," I paused and gave him a pointed look, "everywhere."
"I'm sorry, it's just one of those things you have to mention. I won't say anything else if you don't want me to though." He said.
"Yeah, that would be appreciated. I bet the girls are going to Pearl Harbor me with questions back at the house." I laughed without humor, dreading that. He joined in.
We sat in a short silence when I spoke up again.
"So any of my friends caught your eye?" I asked. He turned and looked at me before he spoke. "Yes, one of them, actually."
"Oh really? And who might that be?" I asked again. He was still looking at me, a little more intensely than I would have like, but opened his mouth to answer when we were interrupted.
"Hey Bella? Can I talk to you?" I heard Edward's velvety voice ask me nervously. I turned to glare at him. "No." I answered with finality.
"Please, I just want to talk. You know, straighten some things out. Please?" He looked at me with his gorgeous green eyes and I gave in.
I turned to Jacob and gave him a look that I hoped said if-I'm-not-back-in-10-minutes-come-and-get-me-or-your-friend-might-be-dead. "I'll be right back." He smiled briefly and nodded.
I swam around the jet-ski and joined Edward as we swam out away from the rock and everyone. Edward turned to face me and looked deeply into my eyes. Then he looked down, took a breath, and started talking.
"Okay before you try to drown me again I would like the chance to say that I'm very sorry I came onto you like that. I honestly don't know what got into me. I mean I have never kissed a girl before yet here I am all confident and kissing you and its just really weird and I am so very sorry and I hope you forgive me," then he let out the big breath in a sigh.
I just stared at him. Why did he have to be so damn cute?!
We sat there staring at each other for a couple of seconds when he spoke again. "So umm, will you? Forgive me I mean?"
"…yes. I will. On one condition." I said. I gave up trying to ignore the attraction we had. I liked him. We've kissed. It's the summer. Why not have a summer boy and be a little spontaneous?
He looked at me relieved and willing. "Anything. You just name it."
I paused for a moment before stating what I wanted. "A kiss," I finally said. He looked at me confused.
"Huh?" he said.
"Huh what? I want a kiss." I said with a big smile. He was so nervous. I thought he was going to pass out and then drown for a second there. Then he seemed to come out of his idiotic state and smile at me.
"Your wish is my command." And he came in for the third kiss of the day.
The third first kiss of my life.
And I liked it.
