Gagh, I'm sorry guys that I haven't updated in the last two days. On Friday I went to Six Flags Over Texas Holiday in the Park and then on Saturday I was in Dallas all day for the Mavs game (They won) and the Stars game (They too won in shootout). So ya, I'm going to try to make this super long…hopefully –looks to the left…then to right–


A Kiss at Midnight

Great, the one time I needed to talk to Alice…she HAD TO GO TO SEATTLE! GAGH! So as soon as she got back the next day…I pounced on her and told her about the charm bracelet.

"Okay, slow down and repeat all of that," Alice said, shaking her head laughing.

I inhaled and showed her the charm bracelet.

"It's beautiful," Alice said, smiling. "Italian I think."

"Thanks," I muttered, as if I wanted to know where the bracelet was made. "Your brother gave it too me."

"Beautiful design—My brother?" Alice said, looking up from the bracelet.

I nodded.

She raised one eyebrow. "Okay exactly why do you think—"

"Know," I said, interrupting her which she hates.

"Fine, know it was my brother," she said, handing me back the bracelet.

I sighed.

"Thursday, when we were at the mall, I saw a store that had the locket I received," I said, touching the locket. The metal was warm, absorbing the heat from my body. "So I went inside. I had been leaning over the charm bracelet display when Edward came over to m. I said I had always wanted one." Alice nodded; she knew that I always wanted one. "Well Edward said that I should buy one. But you know me, I hate buying—"

"And receiving gifts," Alice said, pointing a gifts.

I rolled my eyes.

"Right," I said. "Well I told him that a charm bracelet would mean more if someone else bought it for me."

"They personally pick out the charms that express who you are," Alice said, nodding.

"Exactly," I said. "So later Thursday night, my father came into my room saying that I had gotten something."

"And you got the bracelet?" Alice said, pointing at the bracelet.

Finally Alice got it. "Yes," I said, sitting down beside her.

"Well, it does seem that all evidence point towards Edward," Alice said.

I nodded.

"Why did he buy you the bracelet in the first place?" Alice asked.

"That was my question," I told her.

Her eyes widened. "He loves you," she said.

"N-n-no he doesn't," I said.

Alice stole the bracelet from me and pointed to two of the charms. "He must because two of them say 'I Love You,' Bella."

"That doesn't mean that he loves you."

"Oh blood hell, Bella," she said, handing—nearly throwing the bracelet—back at me. "You don't want to kiss him!"

I blushed. "Of course, I don't Alice," I said. "He doesn't love me. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because you said he loves me."

Alice literally growled at me that I flinched away from her.

"It seems I'm going to have to prove you wrong Bella," Alice said, standing suddenly and hurrying out the room.

Uh-oh, I had never seen Alice this mad, even when Emmett smashed some of her stuff. And the thing was…I wasn't sure what Alice was going to do and that made me worried.


Edward's P.O.V.

I was sitting at my desk, multitasking downloading music to one of my laptops—I had two: one for my music and one for work, internet, etc.—and reading one of my textbooks for next semester when Alice stormed into my room.

"Alice," I said, turning around to face her.

"You," she said, pointing a finger at me.

"Yes me," I said, blinking.

"You," she said again. "You bought her that locket didn't you?"

I rolled my eyes. I thought I was in trouble.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, mister."

Okay, I might be in trouble if I did that again.

"Maybe I did buy her the locket," I said, turning to face my laptop again to note that the CD had finished. "What's the big deal?"

"And the charm bracelet?" she asked, sitting on my bed by the sound of it.

"Maybe," I said, taking out the classical CD and inserted another. "Like I said, what's the big deal?"

"You love her that's the big deal," Alice said.

I looked away from my laptop to look at Alice. She was sitting on my bed and she was smirking. I rolled my eyes.

"What makes you think that, Alice?"

"Considering that had been a note on the bottom of the box that contained the locket," Alice said, "by what Bella said because I didn't see the note and she won't let me. And because two of the charms on the bracelet she received two days ago say 'I Love You.' There are also hearts on the bracelet, a mood charm which Bella has a minor fixation for—mood things I mean—and her birthstone which is loves. All things that only people in this family know about those things.

"So my dear idiotic brother of mine, you love her," Alice said, smirking still if not her smirk was positively larger.

"Good investigative skills, my dear sister," I said, "Could have outshined Sherlock Homes."

Alice rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you just tell Bella that you love her?"

"Because I don't have to," I said, turning back to my music.

"Edward!"

"Alice, my love for Bella or any person is none of your business," I said, turning to look at her again.

"It is if that person is my best friend," she said, standing.

I glared at her. Bella was also my best friend and she knew that.

"Why don't you tell her?" she asked me again.

"Alice go away," I said, rolling my eyes.

Alice screamed.

"Oh you both are pigheaded," she said, stomping her foot.

I smiled at the 'pigheaded' comment. Stomping her foot made her childish.

"Fine, I'm just going to have to take matters into my own hands."

"Alice," I said, warning her.

"Edward, Edward, Edward, don't you have faith in your down sister?" she said, placing her hands on my shoulders.

"Not really."

"Edward!"

I shrugged.

Alice sighed and headed towards the bedroom door. I turned around and found that CD had finished downloading.

"Oh and Edward," Alice called.

I turned around again to look at her.

She smiled, "Just to let you know, I asked Bella to kiss you to find out if you love her…if you kissed her back you did love her. Ciao Edward!"

She opened and closed the door.

Her words repeated in my head. If you kissed her back you did love her…did love her… Gagh! Alice!
