Chapter 10

Bleachers

"Here, wear this," Edward handed me his hoodie. It fits huge on me so when I put up the hood, it barely shows my face. He pulls me across the field and behind the bleachers.

We laughed as we got there and he tickled me mercilessly. He caught me in his arms and whispered, "you have the most beautiful laugh ever."

"You have the most beautiful eyes ever," I retort back.

"No, you do."

We banter back and forth, sounding like the cheesy type of couple I never really liked. But it felt good to be with Edward. It went on until our touches and kisses were rougher. After quietly finishing together, I smoothed down my skirt and fixed the top of my shirt. I looked at him as I slipped on his hoodie again.

"Are we going to tell Emmett, yet?" I asked at the same time he said, "I've been accepted to the UCLA."

I gave him a big smile, "Congratulations!" and a big hug.

He smiled his warm smile and told me thanks. But then I started to feel the severity of the situation. He's going to leave me. But I didn't wallow in the idea. I was happy that he was pursuing his dreams to become a doctor.

"I was hoping we could keep it a secret for some more time, I'm not ready to share you just yet," he told me as he tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear.

I nodded because how could I resist when he's looking at me like that and talking sweet.

"Oh, Eddieboy! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Emmett bellowed just out front of the bleachers.

We pulled apart instantly. I put up the hood over my head and face.

"Round the back of the field, go!" he instructed, leaving a kiss on my forehead.

Once I was back in the school building, I stashed the hoodie in my bag and looked for Rose. I found her by our usual hangout spot by the school parking lot. I caught my breath as I sat next to her.

She looked at me questioningly and then her eyes widened, "Oh my gosh, you have to spill, Bella!"

My eyes widened in return. "What are you talking about?" I asked her nervously.

She pointed at my neck, "you have a hickey!"

I gasped. Automatically, my hands tried to cover as much of my neck as they can. I let go of my super short pony tail, as if my short crop could ever cover it. I looked to Rose for help.

She tsked as she rummaged through her bag's contents for her make-up. She dabs a little of concealer on it to cover it up. "Are you ever going to tell me about it?" she asked while dusting some powder on it.

"Just...give me some time. I'll tell you soon enough," I told her sadly. I wanted to share it with her, I did. I just couldn't.

"Okay but you have to promise you'll tell me. Pinky promise," she said raising her pinky. I locked my pinky with her excited to tell her about it soon.
