Emmet's Point of View
I almost felt sorry for Edward when Alice dragged him off to talk to him. She was pissed, and even I am scared of Alice when she's pissed.
Jasper, Rosalie and I continued our conversation, but I know I was listening very closely to Alice and Edward, and I'm pretty sure Jasper and Rosalie were too. The first thing I heard was Edward's, "Ow!" and I had to fight hard not to laugh. I could tell Jasper and Rosalie were too. It was hard to make Edward say 'ow', but Alice was a feisty little thing. I could only imagine what torture she was putting him through.
A few more ows and a demand that Edward talk to Bella, and Edward returned to the table looking sheepish. He sat down and Alice returned, looking even more ticked off than when she left.
In all honesty, I could understand why she was so annoyed at Edward, which didn't happen very often. He was so obviously in love with her that even I noticed, another event that doesn't occur all too often. The thing is, he didn't realize that he was in love with her, and that is what got to Alice so much.
Personally, I thought she should just let things take their natural course. Eventually, they would realize that they were meant for each other and everything would be fine. But Alice thought differently, and who am I to comment on something I know nothing about?
After Alice's little talk with him, Edward and Bella had begun to talk. I watched them, seeing how they looked at each other, and I leaned across the table to kiss my Rosalie …
Jasper's Point of View
As Alice sat down I gave her a disapproving look.
"What!?" she said, not meeting my eye.
"You know what," I said. "Why can't you just let them figure it out for themselves, hmmmm? It'll take a little longer, but everything will turn out fine." I turned to Emmet for support, but he was … busy. Looking back at Alice, I waited for her answer.
"Because it takes too long!"
I had to fight back my laughter. When I was sure my voice was under control I reached across the table and lifted her chin so that she was looking straight at me. She glared at me fiercely, and this time I let myself laugh. "Ahhh, my fierce and impatient little pixie! You never will learn, will you?" I sighed and gave her a peck on the nose.
She had other ideas, though. Before I could pull away she had locked an arm around my neck and was kissing me very thoroughly …
Edward's Point of View
I was talking to Bella (about what, I couldn't tell you. I was finding it difficult to keep myself from drooling) when I realized that the other four had stopped talking. Bella and I shot each other questioning glances and then turned to see why.
I immediately looked away. Suffice to say that it was getting very steamy over there.
I looked back at Bella to find her staring, jaw dropped. That was just too much. I burst into laughter.
She jumped and looked at me, blushing quite prettily and grinning sheepishly. That was when it hit me that I loved her.
Bella's Point of View
Edward and I were talking when we both realized that our companions had stopped talking. We both threw questioning glances at each other and turned to see what was up.
As soon as I saw what was going on, my jaw dropped.
Rosalie was literally on the table As in she had her entire torso stretched out on it in order to reach Emmet. And from what I could see, her shirt was being pulled far below where it should be, and it wasn't stretchy at all.
Both held each other in a vice-like grip, and I was very glad that Rosalie's hair hid the rest from view.
Behind them, Alice and Jasper weren't much better. Alice had one arm completely around Jasper's neck, pulling him closer and closer to her. The other was twisted into his hair, refusing to let him get away … not that he was going anywhere any time soon. I stopped there.
Suddenly, I heard laughter. I snapped my mouth shut and turned, giving Edward a sheepish grin.
Watching him laugh, a full, booming laugh that made my heart race, I realized that I loved him.
Edward's Point of View
Yes, I loved her. I thought about kissing her, and that thought made my breath come quicker. I steadied myself and lifted my hand to take her face and pull her towards me.
Then another thought ran across my mind, What if she doesn't love me?
My hand stopped, and I ran it through my hair to disguise the movement.
If she didn't love me, she would definitely not appreciate me kissing her. If she didn't love me … I didn't want to live …
Bella's Point of View
I loved him to the point where it hurt.
He lifted his hand, and I stopped breathing in anticipation. I wanted him to kiss me, now!
He paused and then ran his hand through his hair.
It was all I could do to keep myself from bursting into tears. Of course he didn't love me! How stupid was I? Why did I even love him?
That, I couldn't answer. All I knew was that I wouldn't … couldn't live without him.
A/N: Sooo … you like? Tell me, Tell me!, TELL ME!! Please! Will Bella and Edward get together? Will Bella get the kiss that she wants so much? I want to know what's going on in your little heads!! And the only way I'll ever know is if you review!! I'm not Edward, I can't read your mind! And, in all honesty I'd prefer not to be him. That way I can date him!!
Anyway … on a more serious note … I can't promise the next time I'll update. I'm starting a summer intensive (for those of you who don't know, , that's a summer program where you go and you get to DANCE ALL DAY!! How great is that?!) tomorrow, and it's ALL DAY. As in, it starts at 9 AM and doesn't end until 10 PM! That's thirteen hours of dancing!! WHOOPEEEE!!
That's good for me, bad for you. Because that means I'll have NO TIME AT ALL to update. So sad … but I'll do the best I can. Love you all!!
