Edward's POV-
Bella avoided me the entire next day. She only muttered a hi to me when we ate breakfast. I figured I had done something wrong, even though she had been the one to kiss me. Strangely enough, I was not upset with her about that. I was more upset with the fact that she wouldn't acknowledge it. I figured that it had something to do with the fact that Becca had caught us. Not to mention, this confirmed all of Alice and Becca's suspicions and teasing.
I was sitting back up in my room right after dinner when I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" I called to whoever it was.
The door creaked in and Bella popped her head in. "Can I still come in?" she asked quietly.
"Of course," I chuckled and scooted over so she could take a seat.
She walked hesitantly over to the bed and sat down. "What are you reading?"
"Nothing all that interesting. What did you want?"
She bit her bottom lip. "I kind of wanted to talk about what I did last night…"
I nodded. Yes, she was talking about it. This made me feel better, and the little bit of anger that I had melted away. "What about it?"
"Look, I'm really sorry. I know that you totally don't like me like that and I shouldn't have done that. Really, I'm so sorry."
I laughed, and it wasn't calm laughter. It was that 'I'm trying not to die here' laughter. She was sorry for kissing me which meant that she didn't like me. She didn't like me like I liked her. "I wasn't sorry, you know."
She looked shocked. "You…liked that I kissed you?"
"I didn't mind the fact that you were on top of me either," Oh dear God, had I really just said that out loud?
"Hm…"She seemed to ponder this for a moment.
Then, she did something that I doubt she even expected herself to do. She crawled the few inches between us and curled up next to me. She leaned her head on to my shoulder and asked, "So this, you don't mind this either?"
I was still getting over the shock. "Edward? Okie dokie, so you do mind this," Bella said as she started to move.
"No!" She stopped and smiled. "I don't mind this either," I continued.
She settled back into place. "So what does this mean?""Either that we like each other or that we are extremely caring good friends."
"I would go with the first one, I think," she smiled at me.
"Me too."
"So this makes us…."
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Alice and Becca will be pleased," she mused.
I laughed. "They aren't the only ones."
Bella's POV-
Once I got home, I was an extremely good mood. Even Charlie was starting to take notice. "What's got you in such a great mood?"
"Oh, the Cullen' just threw me a fabulous party is all," I lied quickly.
"I never knew you like parties," Charlie pondered.
"I normally don't, but this one was really good," there, I hadn't lied.
The party itself had not been terribly wonderful, but the next day had been extremely terrific.
Of course, Alice and Becca teased me and Edward the entire time, but it was alright because at least we knew how the other one felt. School was going to be one hell of a time though. I could already imagine the look on Jessica's face…oh crap! Jessica was going to kill me.
