Bella Swan…
I looked at Edward with fear; if we kiss it could mess up our whole relationship…I could not lose that. Edward looked back at me, his face looked calm but with a hint of shock.
"Today?" Lauren asked.
I throw my finger at her, the team laughed. Edward grabbed my hip and pulled me closer; I looked in his eyes. They were unreadable, their were so many emotions going through them. His lips were in my ear, "We can stop this now, it is your choice"
I did not know what to do; I did not want to ruin our friendship but I did not want Edward to feel regretted by me…I nodded without thinking.
His lips were centimeters away mine; I pressed my lips to his gently. I heard gasps coming all around us; I wonder what Alice would do after she finds out. Edward's hands moved to my lower back. I went blank; I started to kiss him back.
I knew he notice because his hand moved back to my hips. My hands left my side and made there way up his chest and around his neck, I twirled a lock of his hair in my fingers. I felt him part his lips letting his sweet smell fill my mouth…Wait! What am I doing? This is Edward, my best friend. The person that sat with you at lunch in 3rd grade since I sat alone. This isn't right!!
He pulled back and looked in my eyes with a smile. "That wasn't a kiss it was a peck," Lauren shrieked. I really did not care about that bitch right now…
I was terrified, what will this kiss do to us? I wanted to just cry… "Shows over!" Edward yelled and grabbed my waist. When we were a far distance from everyone else, I decided to ask, "Will that kiss change our friendship?"
Edward looked shock, "Of course not, Lauren will not be able to change anything…"
My eyes started to get watery, "Are you sure…after these two weeks everything will be back together"
Edward pulled me into a hug, "I promise"
I tried to calm myself down, I took a few deep breathes. Edward rubbed my back, "The bell is about to ring, we better get going"
I nodded.
When I walked into French class, I walked to my seat. Edward was there already, waiting for me. "Bella, are you sure you are okay because if your not…we can stop this now" Edward said the last part quietly.
I shook my head sourly, "No, I kissed you so we can keep this up. I am tired of Lauren always getting her way…" I slammed my hands on the desk.
Edward chuckled.
For the rest of the morning, people have been treating of as if we were together. Jessica asked if I wanted to go on a double date with her and Mike, I said no. I was glad that Edward was enjoying himself, at least. I just wanted everything to go back to normal!
Edward and I walked to lunch together, "Lauren hasn't talked to me all day"
I smiled, "Maybe we can end this sooner then"
He looked away, "Yeah maybe"
Alice pulled me out of Edward's grip when we walked through the cafeteria. "Please tell me the rumors are not true," Alice whispered.
I bit my lip, "Lauren asked us to and it wasn't that big of a kiss"
Alice looked hurt, "Bella, Lauren is playing games with you this is just going to end badly! You have to stop this before…you or Edward gets hurt"
I looked down "I can't…"
Alice shook her head "I don't want to see you get hurt"
"Alice, I will be okay! Don't worry"
She forced a smile, "If you think so…"
We walked to the table. Edward looked worried, "You okay Bella?"
I nodded and grabbed the apple from his tray. I took a bite and sat it back on the tray. Edward looked at the apple and chuckled "Your bite looks like a heart"
I smiled and grabbed the apple. It did look like a heart, a very small one. "Yeah" I whispered and put the apple back on the tray.
I looked up in Edward's eyes; there was something there…like love or something… I looked away too quickly. Alice just stared at the two of us then out of nowhere she shrieked.
We snapped our heads toward her, "What?"
She smiled, "I am happy for you guys"
We traded confuse looks, "…yeah…right"
Alice kept smiling, "You guys are so cute, acting like you don't know what I am talking about…"
Edward and I rolled our eyes and looked away; I finish the rest of the apple. The bell ranged shortly after Alice's nonsense. Edward and I walked to class together. "Did you have any idea what Alice was talking about…?" I asked as we found our seats.
"Nope, but I will ask her later"

After school, I grabbed my things out of my locker and walked to the silver Volvo. Edward was leaning against the car, trying to look cool maybe…
"Hey, buddy" I said with a warm smile.
Edward waved, "Hey, Alice is getting a ride from Jasper so we can go"
I climbed into the car. Edward started the car up and droved out of the parking lot. "What did Alice say when you asked she about lunch?" I asked.
"She said 'we will find out, when we are ready'" He quoted her exactly words.
I tipped my chin, think "Maybe it is a riddle!"
Edward rolled his eyes, "Or maybe it is retarded"
I crossed my arms under my chest, "That is not a nice word to say"
Edward cut the engine right in front of my house, "Can we do homework together…I really don't want to face Alice right now"
I grabbed my things, "Sure"
We got inside the house and through our bags on the couch. I went to the kitchen and pulled out a serving dish. I pressed cut carrot and celery around the plate, grabbed a small dish, and dipped some ranch dressing in it. I walked back to the living room, put the plate on the coffee table, and took out my homework.
Edward sat next to me, "Was today worst them yesterday?"
I smiled, "Not really…just that I had to kiss my best friend"
He chuckled, "Must have been bad"
"No, it wasn't bad at all…"
Edward grabbed a carrot and dipped it into the ranch.
"No double-dipping, Edward!" I yelled as he dipped the carrot right back into the ranch dressing.
He smiled, "Oops"
I rolled my eyes and worked on my math. I helped Edward…well scathe that, I gave Edward the answers. We were done in no time.
Edward was scanning through my short supply of movies while I changed into a pair of purple pajama pants and a white tight shirt that Alice gave me this morning. Edward had chosen a scary movie, good choice! I grabbed my blue cotton blanket and a bowl of popcorn.
I laid on the couch while Edward sat on the floor right next to my head. I knew I would be sleep by the time the movie was over. Right when we started the movie, Emmett came running into the living room. "Hey! I want to watch a movie!" He whined.
I rolled my eyes, "Stop acting like a baby and grab a seat…"
Emmett sat in the reading chair, "What are we watching?"
"The hills have eyes," Edward said throwing a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
I grabbed some leftover cut carrots and dripped it in the ranch dressing. Emmett turned off all the lights as the movie started. It was pith dark; I could not see anything but the light from the television. It was not that scary; we were only half way through when I literally screamed.
Edward jumped, "Damn Bella…this isn't even that scary"
I bit my lip, "Sorry…"
I cover my face, not wanting to see anymore. "You okay Bella" Edward whispered.
I peaked from my blanket only to Edward inches away from my face, "Edward c-can you sit up here with me?"
He put on a bright smile, "Sure, but don't start snoring if you fall asleep"
I placed my hand over my heart, "I promise"
He chuckled and climbed onto the couch. I climbed on top of him as he sat down. I pulled the cover over us and rested my head on his warm chest. I inhaled, Edward smelled so good; was he wearing cologne? It had to be strong cologne.
I pushed closer to Edward, wanting to smell more of him; I closed my eyes and took deep breathes. By the time the movie was over, I was sleep.
I woke up in my bed the next morning. I pulled myself up and looked at the clock, I could go to sleep a little more but I did not want to. I lay against my bed frame looking at the ceiling; the only sound I could hear was the soft splashes from the rain.
I heard a soft knock on my door, must be Charlie. "Come in" My voice croaked. I did not look to see whom it was I just stared at the ceiling. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, "Are you alright?"…that was not Charlie's voice. I grabbed the hand that was my shoulder and held it tight.
I turned around only to see Edward standing there with only a pair of pajama pants on. I ran my eyes down to his bare chest before quickly looking away, "What are you doing here?" I said slowly, trying to clear my mind.
"I am here because Emmett invited me for a sleepover," Edward explained.
I nodded.
"You want to get some breakfast?"
"Okay, but I will cook this time…"
He chuckled, "Deal"
I got off my bed and told Edward I would be downstairs in a few minutes. I took a shower and throw on my clothes on before running down the stairs. Edward was in the kitchen looking out the window. "What is on the menu today?" I asked.
Edward snapped out of his glaze and looked at me, "Whatever you make is fine with me"
I grabbed a pan, boil some water for the rice, and put a few bacon slices on a skillet. After the rice and bacon was done, I throw two slices of bread in the toaster. I gave Edward two plates and cup, "Can you set the table?"
I put the food in separate plates and carried them one by one to the table. When we had our plates prepared we started to eat, "So, Lauren is getting the idea that you are taken…kind of" I said.
"Yeah, I guess so" He said, mumbling something under his breath.
I finished my plate and took Edward's with me. I washed my dishes, walked upstairs to my room, and put on my jeans and a plain blue shirt. I walked back downstairs and grabbed my jacket and keys, "I am going to school…"
Loud thumps came from upstairs, "Bella, let me take you!" Edward yelled.
I giggled, "Okay, but don't you ne-,"
I cut my mind shut when I saw Edward in just a towel; his body was still wet. "Let me change and I will take you…"
The keys in my hand dropped, "Mm, yeah…sure, I will be…um, sitting" My words stumbled.
My eyes scanned his hot, wet, bare chest and ran down, "Bella! Bella!"
I looked back in his eyes, "What?" I was getting lightheaded.
"I said, are you okay? You don't look so good" He started coming toward me.
I shook my head, "No!"
Edward looked confuse.
"I mean…yeah I am fine. G-go put some clothes on," I said, walking in the living room.
I heard Edward chuckle as he walked back upstairs. I held my head; trying to clear my head of Edward's muscular chest and bare legs with water dripping down…this is not helping!
Edward came down minutes later fully dressed, Thank god! "Let go, we are going to be late," I said grabbing my jacket and keys again.
"Okay, but Emmett isn't coming to school…he is pretty sick"
I closed the door behind us and headed toward my truck, "You can come get your car later, right?"
He nodded.
We got in and I droved away. "Sorry about this morning" He apologized.
I bit my lip, "About what?"
"You know what I am talking about!"
"No…"
"I am sorry that I was half naked in front of you and I accept your apology for staring at my chest"
My mouth dropped, "Shut-up Edward! I wasn't staring!"
He smiled, "Lair…"
I blushed deeply, "Okay, I gave your chest a little glaze, happy?"
He chuckled, "Yeah I am."
I parked the car and grabbed my things. Edward met me at my door and helped me out, "Bella, stop blushing…"
I held his hand and jumped out the car, "I'll try my best"
I locked the door and we walked to the school door, last day until the weekend!
Alice, Jasper and Rose sat on a nearby bench. "Hey, guys" I called out.
They waved, "Hey, where were you yesterday Edward"
"At Bella's house, Emmett invited me for a sleepover"
Jasper whined, "I wanted to go…"
He suddenly got silent; Edward was properly mouthing something to him…
The bell ranged and everyone went inside. "Hello, Edward!" A nagging voice yelled. We turned around and saw Lauren skipping toward us. Edward did not say anything but waved. "So, are you coming to my house tonight for a little party" Lauren asked, mostly looking at Edward.
"I will think a-," I cut Edward off
"We will think about it" I jumped in crossing my arms under my chest. Lauren glared at me, "Last I check, I asked Edward"
I moved closer to her, "Last I checked, I am Edward's girlfriend…"
Lauren moved closer, "Not for long"
Our noses were almost touching, "Puh-lease, he wouldn't date a bitch like you" and with that I turned around grabbing Edward's and scrolled away.
