A/N- I got finished with this chapter sooner than Sunday, so I decided to update it now. I'll try to get chapter 8 up quickly.

Chapter 7

It seemed like I was waiting forever for Edward to move in. What the hell was he doing? I finally opened my eyes and saw him just staring at me with that stupid sexy crooked smile of his. He wasn't moving; he was just there inches away from my face.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Kiss me already!"

He came even closer and running his fingers along my collar bone and whispered in my ear,

"Now we're even." I stared at his back as he turned and started to walk away.

Mother fucker! He tricked me! He was getting me back for the stunt that I pulled earlier by leaving him hanging; what a damn tease. Nope, that's not gonna fly in my book.

I started to chase after him almost tripping down the stairs. Thank god for the person who created hand rails! He was already on the second floor when I caught up to him. I turned him around swiftly, grabbed him by the front of his shirt, and pulled him toward me crashing my lips against his. I felt every cell in my body alive the moment that I felt his lips on mine. It took Edward a second to realize what was happening, but once he did, his lips started reacting. As I felt his tongue enter my mouth, I instinctively grabbed his hair tugging it a bit and deepened the kiss. I felt Edwards hands grab my ass and lifted me up pinning me against the wall. I wrapped my legs tight around him and moaned as I felt him ball my hair up in his hands and move my head to the side, sadly pulling his lips away from my mouth, but making up for it by attacking my neck. My body seemed to automatically know what to do with Edward as I started pressing my body against his...feeling the friction between us...I could feel my thighs shaking...and his rock hard erection against my core. Just feeling how hard he was because of me caused another moan to escape from my throat making Edward groan and push harder into me. I hated whoever the MOFO was who created clothes because this shit was most definitely in the way right at this moment.

During my Levi hating moment was when I heard a loud gasp followed by, "Holy Shit!"

Edward and I stopped and looked in the direction from which the voice was coming from. FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!

There stood Jasper rubbing the back of his neck, "Sorry to ruin the moment here, but Alice asked me to come up here to get her jacket. It's getting a little cold out there for her, but I can sure see that's not the situation in here." Jasper snickered. "Now if you two don't mind, I have to get into that room right there that you guys are blocking." He said while pointing to Alice's bedroom door.

I was absolutely shocked. I couldn't say anything or even move. All I could do was stare at Jasper with my mouth wide open looking like a complete fool.

"No problem bro. Go right ahead." Well it seems Edward was not having the same problem as me. He could obviously talk and move as he just shifted us over away from the door to let Jasper pass.

Jasper was in the room no more than maybe five seconds before he came out with the jacket slung over his arm and started toward the stairs. He couldn't resist just leaving and being on his merry ole way. Noooo he had to fuck with me first before he could leave.

"Carry on. OH! And remember, don't be a fool, wrap your tool!" He said this while tipping his imaginary hat like he was a fucking cowboy and walking down the stairs. Jerk!

It took me another minute or so to finally find my voice that was hiding out like it jus committed a grand theft auto or a hit and run.

"Let me the fuck down!"

"Ahhhh….Why? I'm pretty comfortable here." Edward said while shifting his hips.

"Well I'm not, Edward!"

"I'd beg to differ BELLA!"

"Oh? And why's that?" I asked.

"Let's see, being that your legs are still wrapped rather tightly around my waist and your hands are still in my hair, I'd take that as you're just as comfortable as I am."

I punched in straight in the chest. "Whatever! Just let me down asshole."

Edward put me down but still had me against the wall and was rubbing his chest with one had while the other was right beside my head leaning on the wall.

"Ooooo, you like it rough I see. I'll have to put that in my "Things about Bella" notebook, along with work the neck."

I slapped him hard against the side of his head.

"You got the rough part right! Consider us officially even." I slipped out underneath his arm and bolted for the stairs.

"Oh! And one more thing Bella."

I turned around and waited for Edward to speak.

"I believe I just proved that I CAN handle that!" He winked and headed up the stairs.

What a dick! I just rolled my eyes and made my way back out to the party. There was still music that was bound to make my ears bleed eventually playing. What was I going to say to Jasper? Did he tell Alice? Did anyone else see what just happened?

Speaking of, what the hell just happened!?! I let my body take over and just ignored my mind! Really Bella, You're going to complain about that hot make out session that would most likely have continued had Jasper not interrupted? Ok, I'll only halfass complain. Whatever just happened felt amazing. When Edward wasn't talking, he was bearable.

I spotted Jasper and Alice on the dance floor. I just went to stand in the same spot I had been at before.

"Hey there."

I turned around to see who was talking to me and saw a guy around 5'11 standing in front of me. He was very average looking and had short light brown hair. There was nothing about his face or body that stood out, like I said average.

"Hi." I replied simply, hoping that he would get the hint and see that I was not interested in talking to him.

"I'm James and I already know you are Bella. I saw you over here by yourself and I had to come and introduce myself to you. You looked like you could use some company."

"Ummm….ok. I'm actually not alone. I'm waiting for my friends to get through dancing." I said pointing in the direction of Jasper and Alice. Please leave me alone now weirdo.

He stepped closer and put his hand on my shoulder kind of pushing me forward, "Come on, let's go dance."

Who the hell did this guy think he was? He practically demanded that we dance, which was not happening in this lifetime.

I shook his hand off and replied, "Yeah I don't think so. I'm allergic to dancing. I break out in all these hives. It's not pretty."

"Are you really!?! I'm allergic to peanuts. I was on a flight one time and I was getting it on with this flight attendant in the small restroom, well she tried to incorporate peanuts putting one in my mouth. I swallowed it before knowing what it was. All of a sudden I was on the floor dying because of the peanut. They had to use the defibrillator to bring me back to life."

"Really? That sounds very interesting." I said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah I know. It just happened 3 days ago." Wait three days ago? If this guy is in the same school as me then where the hell was he flying to during a school day and back the next day. I smell a lie. It was time to put my detective hat on.

"Oh yeah? We go to the same school right?" I asked.

"Yup, we are in the same Trig class."

"Hmmm…I haven't seen you. Were you in class all week?"

"Yes ma'am. I sit right behind you. I'm so close that I can smell that you use strawberry shampoo." Ok psycho out on the loose. Who the hell smells someone's hair?

"Oh, ummm yeah. That's kind of weird James. You just go around just smelling people's hair?

"Sometimes." He replied with a shrug like it was normal. He didn't even hear that I said it was weird.

"So wow…..where were you flying to three days ago when you almost died and were back in time for school the next day?" I totally caught the hair sniffer in a lie. My work here is done.

"I was flying to Chicago to pick up this cool leather jacket from this big time store that's not here in Forks. Do you like it?" Leather? That looked a lot like pleather to me. This guy was still adding to the lie! Amazing.

"No not really. It looks very Fonziesque."

"Well you just don't know fashion."

"I guess not. Well, here come my friends, so I'll catch you later. Be careful on your next "flight" to Chicago." And with that I turned away from him.

Thankfully I actually saw Alice and Jasper coming back.

"Bella! What took you so long, and what's up with your hair? "

I shot a quick look to Jasper and saw him slightly shake his head. He didn't tell her. Wow….He was a good guy after all.

I started combing my fingers through my hair trying to get the tangles that Edward created by yanking on it.

"Oh yeah, I was just lying down for a second. I had a little headache."

"Boo that sucks. I hope it went….OMG Bella!! What is that on your neck?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? What is it?" I started frantically wiping my neck thinking it was a possible spider or something worse.

"I don't know…It kinda looks like a……a hickey! Why do you have a hickey on your neck Bella?"

"What? I don't have a hickey Alice! How in the hell would I get a….." Shit! I've been marked! Edward marked me!

"Well?" Alice raised her eyebrow in suspicion. She was getting real good at that.

"Oh yeah….It was…hmm…I had this like bite or something that just started itching. I must have scratched too hard."

"It doesn't look like a scratch."

"I have sharp nails Alice. They're known to do damage." I shrugged. Pleeeaase let her buy it. One look in her eyes, I knew she wasn't buying it.

"But how…."

"Alice I love this song! Let's go dance!" I let out a sigh of relief and shot Jasper a quick thank you glance.

But now I was all alone again. Hopefully James wouldn't come…..

"I almost forget Bella! I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night. You know just me and you and some good food. We could maybe go park somewhere and let our bodies get to know each other better if you know what I mean."

Fuck….I spoke too soon. James was asking me out on a date if that's what you would call it.

"No she wouldn't now get the fuck away from here." That wasn't my voice, but I was glad to hear it.

I smiled at my savior. "Thanks Rosalie."

"No problem. That guy is a creepy stalker. I caught him smelling my hair once."

I let out a laugh. "Yeah I just found out I was a victim of his sniffing also."

"So it looks like you've had some fun at this party." She said while pointing at my neck.

"Yeah….I seemed to have scratched myself too hard."

"Something was hard, but I doubt it was the scratching."

I could feel the blush coming up to my cheeks.

"Don't be embarrassed Bella. I'm not asking who the guy was or anything. That's your own business."

At that moment I spotted Edward talking to Emmett. His hair looked a little tousled from my hands being in it. It was messier than before. Rosalie noticed my glance in his direction and must have token in his appearance. She looked back at me and narrowed her eyes for just a second before smiling and shaking her head.

"Yup…..definitely your business, but I'm glad you took my advice." She winked.

"No…it's not what….it's nothing like that…" Why couldn't I form a complete sentence damn it!

"Hush Bella, I'm not gonna say anything."

"Ok, thanks Rosalie." Two people, two people too many knew about what happened. Why couldn't I be that person who can lie? This stupid blush always gave me away. Hopefully, Alice wouldn't push the hickey situation any further. I know if would come out if she did.

I was in my own little world that I didn't realize Emmett and Edward had joined Rosalie and me.

"So Bella, how do you like the party? Having fun yet?"

"Yeah I'm having a blast Emmett. Can't you tell?" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Yeah you look so full of joy! You are definitely the life of the party." He laughed.

"Yup that's me. Remind me to give you my "Party Starter" card later. I also do weddings, birthdays, and funerals."

We stood there laughing until the moment was ruined.

"Wow Bella! What's that you got there on your neck?" asked Edward who had a smirk on his face.

"I got in a tussle with a donkey. The jackass went for my neck."

"Huh….It looks like the jackass got you pretty good. Did it hurt?"

"Not one bit. It seemed like an armature. It was more slobbering on my neck than anything else."

"Oh come on now. I doubt that is true. It looks like the jackass had some practice before he got to you."

"So you're telling me I had an encounter with a slutty jackass? I should go spray my neck with Lysol then." I shrugged.

"I wouldn't call it slutty….that's pretty harsh, I would more say…..experienced."

"Also known as slutty." I shrugged.

"Wait? There's a donkey at this party? Damn! Point me in the direction he's in! I gotta see this! Is there a donkey show going on or what?"

Edward and I both looked at Emmett and started laughing.

"What? Don't be stingy with the donkey! Tell me where he is!" He yelled.

We started laughing harder.

"Ummm….I think his keeper already picked him up Emmett. Sorry Bud, maybe next time." I patted him on his shoulder.

"Fuck man, I always miss the good stuff." He pouted.

Rose was just shaking her head. "You are truly and idiot babe, but I love you anyway."

I let out a small laugh.

"Well guys. I'm pretty much done for the night. I'm just gonna head upstairs now. Can you guys tell Alice I'll see her in the morning?"

"Sure thing Bella, have a good night." replied Rosalie.

"Night Bells…..If you see that donkey around. Tell it I'm looking for him."

"Sure thing Em."

"Good Night Bella."

"Good Night Edward." I smiled and made my way into the house and up to the third floor.

I got into the room and closed the door behind me sliding down and falling on my ass. Today has been interesting to say the least. I sat there for a bit replaying all that happened that day, mostly night. I shook my head and headed to the bed. I forgot that Alice hadn't given me anything to sleep in. I just pulled off my jeans and left my shirt on. I slept in boy shorts at night anyway. It was nothing new. I laid down on the bed and got comfy under the covers. I closed my eyes and let my mind go back to thoughts of Edward, and that's how I fell asleep that night.
