AN: All characters are human. Jacob is the same age as Bella
Edward and Emmet Cullen are two sophomores in college. They have a sister named Alice who is a junior in high school. They have always been protective of their sister and now that she has a boyfriend they are less protective, which is more than they could say for Bella Swan, the police chief's daughter and Alice's best friend. The two grew up together and Emmet and Edward were protective of both, each of them thinking Bella was their little sister. But as time grew, so did the girls and the boys in town notice, much to the dismay of the Cullen boys, not to mention Bella's crush on Edward. Follow the story of a girl in love with someone who sees her as a little sister.
Chapter 7
Two days passed and Edward spent all his time with Bella. They went back to the way they were, except the sexual tension between the two grew, that was until he had to leave.
"I promise Bella, I'll stay in touch" said Edward
"Sure, just like you said the last time" said Bella
"I promise you" said Edward, sincerity entering his voice.
"Okay, I believe you when I get a text message or a phone call" said Bella, knowing that Edward would definitely keep his promise
Edward threw his luggage in his silver Volvo and hugged Bella
"When I come back you better be not be in this wheelchair" said Edward
"I'll try" said Bella, relishing in the smell of his aftershave willing herself not to moan again, but this time she could have sworn Edward made a slight sound.
"I have to go Emmet is..." started Edward, but was cut off by Emmet's booming voice and music
"Come on Eddie, we got to go" screamed Emmet
"Bye Bella" said Emmet waving
"He said a formal goodbye yesterday" said Bella, noticing Edward questionable at emmet just waving, normally Emmet would come out and bear hug Bella
"Oh" said Edward
"I'll miss you" said Bella
"I'll miss you more and don't get into anymore accidents, at least not until I can get to a phone or I come back" said Edward, with a wink and a smile
"Ha just you wait, I might get hurt later today" said Bella, sticking out her tongue, but then regretting her words.
"Don't eat your words" said Edward, laughing and waving his finger in disapproval.
He slid into his Volvo with ease and put on his sunglasses.
Bella sighed at his perfect figure in the car
"I love you Edward" mumbled Bella, watching Edward take off down the block

Three months passed and Bella was dying to see Edward again, he promised he wouldn't miss her birthday party and that was in an hour
"Bella stop fidgeting I won't be able to fix your hair" said Alice, trying to pin up Bella's brown hair
"He said he was coming tonight right?" asked Bella
"Yes he promised he wouldn't miss this" said Alice
"Okay I just want to make sure" said Bella
"He hasn't stopped talking about it for months, he wanted to make sure he got you the perfect gift" said Alice
"And you might happen to know what that gift is?" asked Bella, waiting for her hair to be finished
"Of course, but I am not allowed to tell you" said Alice
"Ugh" sighed Bella
"All finished" announced Alice
"Wow Alice" said Bella looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing that black dress that was supposed to stun Edward. She had the cast on her ankle removed a month ago and on her feet graced 3 ½ inch black pumps Alice insisted on her wearing. The cast on her arm was removed and she was soo happy that Edward would be there.
"Alice, Bella you ready to go?" asked Jasper downstairs in the Cullen home.
"We will be right there" said Alice
"Now Bella how do I look?" asked Alice
"Gorgeous as always" said Bella
Alice was wearing a brown, white and pink silk scarf short dress, it had a fun print and she topped the outfit off with brown wedged heels.
"I don't think I can walk in these heels" said Bella
"You'll be fine, besides my brother will be there" said Alice
The thought of Edward catching her made her heart flutter.

Edward POV
I have to be there, I can't miss this, not Bella's birthday
I couldn't wait to see Bella, tonight I wanted to make it a special night
I arrived at my house before 7, I told Alice I was going to pick up Bella and take her to the restaurant. I wanted time with Bella, before Rosalie and Alice got to her. I wanted to give her my gift in private and a table with Rosalie and Alice would not be private.
I quickly got out of my Volvo and went to my Vanquish my dad bought me last year as a present for getting into college and on the dean's list. Emmet got a gift too, but I wanted a car. Emmet got a system put into his jeep. I will never understand his rap music, but he enjoyed it.
"Edward hurry up Bella is about to come down the stairs" said Jasper, as he opened the front door.
"Okay" I told him, I quickly put the present in the back and went into the house.
As soon as I closed the door, Bella came down the stairs. She looked radiate in her black halter dress that clung to all her curves. I smiled at the way she was walking down the stairs. Her hair was put half up and half down, the ends curled.
She looked up for a moment and her beautiful, doe like eyes caught my green ones. She was shocked that I was there
"Edward?"she asked, her sweet melodic voice questioned.
Before I could answer her, she fell and I went to catch her.
"Are you alright?" I asked her
"That last step is a doozy" she said.
"Well when you have legs... I mean shoes like that yeah" I said, embarrassed that I said legs. She made me act like I was 16 all over again.
After I steadied her, I realized that I still towered ver her tiny figure, the heels she wore did nothing for her height, and in a way I was glad, I loved her just the way she was.
Did I just say love?
"Edward are you alright?" she asked
"Fine I was just thinking about something" I said
"Oh okay" she said
"Okay Bella, Edward is going to take you and we are going to meet Rosalie and Emmet at the restaurant" said Alice
"Okay" said Bella, eagerly.
I smiled at her eagerness
"My chariot awaits" I said offering her my arm
She blushed a crimson red that made her look more beautiful. She accepted my arm and I lead her to my Vanquish.
"I hope you don't mind but I need to make a little stop before the restaurant" I told her.
"That's okay" said Bella, folding her hands on her lap.
I wanted to make a stop at our "spot," so that I could give her my present
"Bella do you trust me?" I asked her
"Of course" she responded
"Then will you put on this blindfold" I asked her
"Okay" she said
I gave her a black blindfold that she put on and I helped her out of the car.
I bent down to her ear and noticed her shiver as I spoke
"I will have to carry you because this could be dangerous for you" I told her, as I lifted her in my arms and carried her into the forest.
I put her down gently when I reached our destination, before I told her to remove her blindfold I took out her gift
I really hoped she liked it. I had it hand made by one of my friend's father who worked at a jewelry store. It was a red diamond encrusted apple. The apple was a symbol of our relationship to me she was the forbidden fruit and also the apple of my eye.
I just hoped she understood the gift
"Can I take off the blindfold now?" she asked
"Of course sorry I let my mind slip away" I told her, as she removed the blindfold I made sure I was standing behind her
"Oh my god!" said Bella, who was shocked as she saw where we were
"I thought that this would be the only place I could privately hand you your gift" I told her, holding out the present box
"Oh Edward, you shouldn't have" she said
" I wanted to, go ahead Bella, open the box" I encouraged her
She opened the box and her expression was as I expected. She was pleased with my gift
"Oh Edward, an apple?" questioned Bella
"You're the apple of my eye" I told her truthfully
She blushed my favorite color at my words, which made me feel proud
"This must have cost a fortune" she said
It was a small fortune, but nothing to what she was worth. Besides I already had too much money and she was the only other person besides my family I would be willing to spend it on.
"Nothing is too expensive for you" I told her
She tried to put it on and I finally took pity on her and helped her
She lifted her hair and I clasped the necklace in seconds, my breath hitting her neck, she turned around slowly, her brown eyes looking almost black with desire
I lifted her chin and leaned down to kiss her, when all of a sudden my cell phone rang and the moment was ruined
"Yes Em" I said frustrated and yet at the same time relieved
"Where are you guys, you were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago"he said
"We will be there in 5" I said, shutting my phone
I was ashamed that I almost kissed Bella and it must have shown
"Well this is awkward" Bella said, not looking me in the eyes
"We have to go back" I told her
She nodded and started to walk back into the forest
"Bella, wait" I said, "Let me carry you"
She didn't say anything, but she did let me pick her up. Her eyes looked saddened and I wished I could take that away, but I was happy Emmet called and stopped me from kissing her. I was already confused I didn't need to be more confused.
The car ride to the restaurant was silent and I wished I knew what Bella was thinking
I pulled up to a spot in the parking lot and cut the engine when Bella spoke
"Thanks again Edward for the necklace it really is special" she said, breaking the silence
"You are special" I told her, but before I could stop myself, I knew
"Why do you keep doing that? Why do you always pay me a wonderful comment and then act as though you meant it a different way? I am so sick of you leading me on Edward" said Bella
I never saw her so angry. I didn't have an answer for her, I didn't know the answer myself
"I don't know" I said
"Well I can't wait forever Edward" said Bella, and that was it, she got out of the car and left me
I had no idea what exactly happened all I knew was that in that moment I felt as though I lost Bella, when I didn't even have her.
(END EDWARD POV)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Bella's POV)
I walked out on Edward. I WALKED OUT ON EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN, the man of my dreams and I knew it was foolish and child like, but I had it
When he almost kissed me I almost felt like I had won, than Emmet called and Edward woke up out of his trance. When I looked into his eyes after he shut the phone I saw remorse, he was sorry he was about to kiss me and I snapped. I couldn't take it anymore. He was leading me on and I couldn't stand it anymore, it was he either had feelings for me or he didn't. I wish I knew the answer.
Not to mention the necklace threw me off, his response was I am the apple of his eye, if he meant that then he wouldn't be sorry about kissing me, but he was so I didn't understand. Edward always made me confused.
I kept walking towards the restaurant, my heels making me wobble the rest of the way, I had tears streaming down my face.
"Bella?" asked Alice, as I entered the restaurant
"I don't want to talk about it" I told her rushing into the women's bathroom
Alice and Rosalie came in after me and I cried my eyes out as I told them what had happened.
