Discalimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

This chapter has been written for a while, I'm just now getting around to posting it.

I've been super busy lately, and all of my stories are on hiatus, starting the moment I posted this chapter.

I've had so much on my plate recently with the new twins.

But fret not, I'm still going to be finishing the stories...I'm just not sure when.

Thank you all for your understanding...and I hope more than a few of you read this lol.

Review of PM me with any questions.

Chapter 2

Edward's Point Of View

"Oh. My. God." I muttered. Bella was… my Bella? My best friend since kindergarten?

"Eddie!" I heard Tanya call from behind me as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Hey, Tawny." I said, using my nickname for her.

Bella's eyes widened as her jaw dropped.

"Oh, I see you've met Morticia." Tanya muttered.

"That's not my name, Skank." Bella snapped.

"Excuse me?" Tanya demanded.

"You heard me." Bella growled with a smirk.

"Oh, you just made a big mistake, bitch."

Bella rolled her eyes at Tanya. I just stood there, appalled (and a little turned on) that Bella could be so vicious.

Bella was pretty sexy now that I look at her. She has curves in all the right places, her lips are full, her eyes are beautiful, and black eyeliner looks incredible on her. She was wearing an incredibly short skirt that showed me practically all of her long, pale legs. Then there's her camisole, it's low cut and shows off her cleavage. Her jacket was sliding off her slender shoulders and then her black boots made her look tall. I had to stop myself before I started to drool.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, ho." Tanya muttered.

Bella rolled her eyes and turned to walk away, "Bella, wait." I called.

She turned to me, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Bella?" Tanya sneered, "You know its name?"

"Tanya, shut it." I snapped, "Bella, why didn't you tell me?"

"Like you would've cared." She hissed.

"Do you two know each other?" Tanya questioned.

"Tanya, this is Bella. She's been my best friend since kindergarten. Bella this is my girlfriend, Tanya."

"Ew, you're dating this skank?" Bella asked in a disgusted tone.

"You're best friends with this whore?" Tanya fired back.

"Not anymore." Bella growled and stalked off.

Pain lashed through me as Bella climbed in her Lamborghini and sped off.

Tanya smirked, "Maybe we'll get lucky and she won't come back."

I untangled myself from Tanya and walked swiftly to my Volvo. She looked after me curiously.

I cranked the engine and sped off towards home. Rosalie would give the others a ride.

I ran in my house and straight to my computer and Instant Messaged Bella.

I smiled as I stood up and darted to the door. I got into my Volvo and sped off to La Bella Italia.

I pulled up outside the little Italian place just in time to see Bella stepping out of her car.

She walked up to be, "Hey." I smiled.

"Hey." She replied, a small smile appearing on her lips. I recognized this smile, it was the smile she used when she didn't want to smile but couldn't help it.

"Ready?" I asked.

She nodded and we walked into the restaurant. The waitress greeted us (me particularly) and sat us at a table. "My name is Amber and I'll be your server." She gushed, tucking a lock of her short, dark hair behind her ear, "Can I get you something to drink?"

I look to Bella, "I'll have a Coke." She said. It sounded kind of like a question.

"Two Cokes." I murmured.

The waitress nodded and stalked away. I turned to Bella and smiled.

"I've missed you, Bell." I admitted.

"Me, too. That was until I found out you were a womanizer." (A/N Cue the Britney Spears music!)

"Bell, I'm not."

"I witnessed it, Edward. Don't lie."

"Bella, you have to understand. Its been hard for me and it's the only thing that helps me cope."

"Yeah, right. Sleeping with girls is definitely the way to get over things." She said sarcastically.

"I don't sleep with them." I muttered.

"Oh, so you just finger them in closets?"

"I don't do any of that."

"Head?" she questioned.

"Bella, please." I pleaded. I was actually lying to her face. I did have sex with all of the girls I lured into closets. I just didn't want Bella to find out.

"I can tell you're lying, Edward. You always glance down and to the left when you lie." She muttered. She remembered. I've done that ever since I was little. That's how my mom always knew when I took cookies out of the cookie jar.

"Bella, I'm not." I continued stubbornly.

Bella stood up. "I'm leaving." She murmured, placing a five on the table and strutting toward the door.

I followed her out,"Bella, wait!" I called.

"Leave me alone!" she screeched. Her voice wavered and cracked. She was crying.

I'd made my best friend cry.

I placed my hand gently on her shoulder. She spun around to face me. Tears were steaming down her beautiful face.

She curled her hand up into a fist, resisting the urge to punch me, I'd imagine, and glared at me.

"What?" she growled.

At that moment all I could to was stare. Stare because, looking at her amazingly stunning chocolate eyes, I realized that I loved her. I was in love with my best friend. And I always had been.

I wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her face to mine with the other and kissed her.

She froze but melted into the kiss as I threaded my fingers through her soft, brown tresses.

Bella pulled back for air, leaning her forehead against mine. "What was that?" she asked breathlessly.

I chuckled, "I don't really know." I admitted.

She closed her eyes, "I can't do this." She whispered.

"What?" I asked, caressing her face.

She opened her eyes, "Well, first of all you have a girlfriend. Second, I know what kind of guy you are. I'm not going to set myself up like that." She replied, pulling away.

"Bella, wait-" I started but she had already gotten in her car and driven away.

"I love you." I whispered.
