Thank you for all the reviews :)

I know you will love this chapter :D

Enjoy...

I stared at him, dumbstruck. He laughed and said, "You know so much about me…but I barely know anything about you," he mock pouted and that made me laugh.

"What do you want to know…I'm not from any other state…I've always been a New Yorker. Never had any adventured like you did…my life has been pretty average to tell you the truth."

"Well…for starters…I'd like to know what went wrong between you and Paul," he said. Me and Paul? That was eons ago…I had gotten over him a long time back. How did he know about it?

He probably judged the look on my face and hastily added, "I was on the staircase smoking a cigarette when you were sobbing and telling Rosalie about how he broke up with you on the phone."

"You smoke," I asked him, still slightly baffled.

"I used to…I gave up now. I know how you detest the smell of nicotine," he smiled.

"You gave up smoking because I detest the smell of nicotine," I asked.

"Oh no," he laughed, "I figured it wasn't good for me."

"Ah," I replied. Could you blame me for being so confused? I think not. I had come to know only today that the guy sitting opposite me stared at me at work and was now asking me about my ex-boyfriend who I'm pretty sure I hadn't mentioned anywhere in his proximity.

"So…you and Paul," Edward urged me on.

"That happened almost a year back. And you ask me that now," I said, not willing to divulge any details about my personal life.

"Yeah…because before today, you barely ever spoke to me," he smiled, "and I really was wondering. Why would anyone let go of an amazing girl such as yourself." I noticed his arm had ended up draped around my chair. I shifted uncomfortably and shot a look at the dance floor hoping to catch a glimpse of either Alice or Rosalie.

"Urm…well…he just found someone more his type….that's all," I shrugged. He was getting closer to me…I could smell his perfume…and my brain vaguely noticed he smelled of spice and everything manly.

Suddenly, Rose and Emmett came and joined us.

"Hey Bella…care for a dance? I know this is your favourite song," Emmett said. It was just then that I became aware of the music playing in the background.

"Su...sure," I stuttered.

Emmett took and hand and led me to the crowded dance floor.

By 3.30, all of us were completely sloshed and decided to go home. Edward was the only one who was sober…he had just one pint of beer. So he decided to drive us home.

Emmett and Jasper went by a cab…they lived pretty close to each other. Rosalie, Alice and I ended up in Edward's silver Volvo. I was in the passenger seat, giving him directions to our house.

We reached our apartment at 4 in the morning and Edward got out of the car to escort us to our front door. Alice and Rosalie went inside and when I was about to go in, I felt someone tug at my hand. I turned around to see Edward watching me intently.

"What?" I asked. "Nothing," he replied. "Then could I go please? I'm kinda tired," I said and pulled my arm free and went inside, shutting the door with a bang on his face.

Hey...what do you think?

I hope this answers your question Lilypad10!

Is this better than the other chapters? That's what I think atleast!
