A/N: You guys are amazing! Thanks for the lovely reviews!! *virtual hug*
One reviewer had told me my writing was a little bit off, and I'm so happy she had told me. I've noticed my writing has lacked interest and that it sounds a bit lazy. I've been seeing it too; a lot is going on in my life right now. When I'm in a good mood, my writing is good. But lately I've been a little down, so that's why the writing isn't as good as it was before. I hope I can live up to you guys expectations. (:
Sorry for not updating sooner, my sister just got married. & I was her maid of honor so I've been pretty busy. & I do have finals coming up, so that will be another pain in the butt *sigh*
Note: REMEMBER that Edward in this story has a British accent! I know some of you forget.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything, just the plot.

Last time on The Foreign Hottie
Edward's face became pale. "It's a guy thing, Bella," he mumbled defensively.
I gaped at him. "A guy thing!?" I echoed severely. He cringed from my harsh tone.
Jacob scowled at me. "Edward is actually being a very good friend to me," Jake sneered. "Unlike you."
Ouch. I gasped. "How am I not a good friend?"
Jacob ignored my question and blinked furiously at me. "If I told you who she was, you would go and talk to her, I know you would."
I stared blankly at him. "What!? Me?"
"Yes. You," he replied with his teeth gritted together. "I know how you are, Bella."
I exhaled and looked at both of them in awe. "You guys are seriously not going to tell me…" I mused while staring at Edward's sheepish expression. He looked down at his lunch tray, trying really hard not to look me in the eye.
I scoffed. "I'll find out soon enough," I warned as my eyes pinned on Edward. "I guess I will just have to…persuade Edward tell me."
Edward looked at me through his thick eyelashes, his green eyes pierced through mine. He gulped, as if he were afraid.
I smiled wickedly and gave him a wink.

"Hey Edward," I whispered in his ear intimately.
He jumped and whirled around, looking flushed. He had been washing the dishes before I snuck up on him.
I grinned, this will be easy. If Jacob wouldn't tell me who he had a crush on, then I could obviously make Edward spill the secret.
The past couple of days have been hell. I would see Edward and Jacob secretly talking with hushed voices, obviously talking about Jacob's new crush. I don't see why Jake won't tell me; maybe he was getting revenge since I didn't tell him about Edward and me. Yes! That had to be it, Jacob wanted revenge.
Jacob and I have been friends for a really long time, and the fact that he told Edward personal things and not me…hurts a bit. But I wasn't going to let them know that.
I played with the hem of Edward's shirt. "I was thinking about going to a little cafe near downtown, and was wondering if you wanted to join me," I said sweetly.
Edward smiled, making my heart stop. Poor kid doesn't know what's coming to him. "I'd love to," he murmured as his arms wrapped around me. He leaned in to kiss me.
My lips brushed against his and then I slightly pulled away. His eyes were closed as he leaned closer to me, wanting more.
I took a step away. He blinked open his eyes, surprised that I pulled away. The corner of his lips went down.
"Oh, wait. Jacob called this morning, he wants you to go to his house to…talk," I lied. I faked a frown and snapped my fingers. "Well, I guess we can't go then."
Edward's grimace deepened, he looked disappointed. "I'm sure he'll understand if I cancel."
Poor guy, he was like a small child who just got his lollipop taken away. "It's alright," I murmured, my face mirroring his. "Besides… you and Jake need guy time, remember?"
Edward's expression changed. He finally realized what I was trying to get at. He sighed. "Bella, Jacob will tell you when he is ready."
I urgently placed my hand on his chest, and my other hand slid inside the back pocket of his jeans. "Just tell me who he likes," I pleaded, giving him the puppy dog face. If I wanted to know, I had to cut right to the chase.
Edward's heart beat quickened under my palm. "I promised, Bella," he simply stated.
I took a step away from him and crossed my arms over my chest.
I tried not letting my disappointment show. I could see he wasn't going to give in, which made me like him more for some odd reason. Edward was a good friend to Jacob; he made a promise to a good friend and he was not going to break it. That somehow made me feel all giddy inside.
Edward was genuinely good.
But I will still not give up. I will crack it out of him; even if it is the last thing I do.
xXxXxXx
It was ten. I knew Edward would be wondering why I wasn't in my room. I've been in the bathroom for a half an hour, just leaning against the door. I wondered if it was possible to die from boredom.
I wanted Edward to know how mad I was for him not telling me. I really wasn't upset at him; I just wanted him to think I was. Genius, right?
I yawned. I waited a couple of more minutes until I opened the bathroom door and trudged back to my room.
Just as I had predicted, Edward was laying on the bed, looking troubled. "Sorry I'm late," I announced, I made my tone sound like I wasn't sorry at all.
I made my way across the room and to the bed. I was putting my hair in a ponytail when Edward murmured, "It's alright."
I could see the curiously burning in his eyes. He wanted to know why I was late, I know he did. But he was too much of a gentleman to ask me. I'm glad. But I hope he didn't think I was having diarrhea or anything...
I slid under the covers and turned off the light on my nightstand. Edward spooned me as his breath tickled my neck.
I shivered, but not because I was cold.
"Is anything the matter, Bella?" Edward asked vulnerably. His voice was a whisper in the dark.
"No."
"You seem…tense," he added.
"I'm not."
He took a deep breath. This isn't working, I thought to myself. I have to persuade him to tell me who Jake likes. I bet I was the worst persuader in the world. I had to try something new. Something that would make him spill the secret to me.
I turned around in the bed so that I was facing him. My leg hitched around his waist. I scooted closer to him, closer than I usually did. He started breathing unevenly.
My lips found his in the darkness. His arm wrapped securely around me. I could feel his wild heart beat against my chest. He was simply adorable whenever we would kiss. He would always be flustered and blushing. Like this was his first kiss.
"Edward…" I mumbled intimately against his unyielding lips. "Would you keep secrets from me?"
"Of course not," he replied unevenly. It was obvious he wasn't in his right mind. He was disoriented.
He seemed really distracted; this was my shot to ask him. "Then tell me who Jacob likes…"
He hadn't seemed to be considering what he was saying. "Leah," he blurted almost incoherently.
My lips froze against his. "Leah Clearwater?!" I shouted disbelievingly.
Edward stiffened as he realized what he had just done. He moved away from me and his hands covered his face. "Bloody-"
"Leah Clearwater?" I asked again, my voice somehow calmer. Leah…Clearwater? This couldn't be happening. Jacob hates her. No – loathes her! Why on Earth would he start liking her? I couldn't believe what Edward had told me. It could not be true. Jacob would only start liking Leah when Hell freezes over or when pigs fly.
"I can't believe you manipulated me!" He glared at me. He almost looked like he was mad at me.
"Don't change the subject!" Edward growled as he got up from the bed. "I won't tell him you told me."
Edward paced around the room with his head down. I've never seen his eyes so wild before. He looked pretty sexy if you asked me. His hair was all over the place and his pajama pants were kind of riding down…
"Stop being so dramatic," I demanded, moving my gaze to his face. He scowled and ran his hands through his hair.
Edward bit his lip before he ordered, "Don't tell Jacob I told you."
"I won't," I promised again. I sighed before continuing. "Are you sure it's Leah?"
Edward nodded. I could see that he wasn't as upset anymore. "Why is that so hard to believe?"
I shrugged. "Jake hates her."
He looked confused. "Why would you say that?"
I sighed. It would take a lifetime to tell him of me and Jake's childhood. I was beginning to think that I didn't know Jacob very well. We've been friends for what seemed like forever…I thought I knew everything about him.
"Long story," I muttered.
Edward sighed and sat down next to me on the bed. "I'm sure Jacob has his reasons for liking her," he assured, trying to comfort me.
"I guess," I mumbled. "It just hurts that he didn't tell me."
He looked at me sympathetically. "He probably didn't know how to tell you…"
"He probably thought that I thought he was gay or something…" I mused. I covered my face with my hands. "I'm such a horrible friend." I finally realized how Jacob probably sees me. His annoying and not understanding friend who always makes fun of him. He couldn't come and talk to me. Couldn't confide in me like a true friend would.
I suddenly felt sick to my core.
Edward placed his arm over my shoulder. "No you're not, Bella," he cooed.
"Yes I am," I contradicted stubbornly.
"If it makes you feel any better…I think you're a bloody hell of a good kisser." I stared at him in utter shock. He bit his lip anxiously while he waited for my response. To his surprise I had busted out laughing.
He cracked a smile. "What?"
I shook my head and gave him a look saying, you're a big goof. "Nothing, thanks for trying."
We both laughed simultaneously. What Edward doesn't know, is that he actually did make me feel better.
