Hey guys so I decided I will be updating more, they just wont be as long as the chapters were before. So here is chapter 10. I hope you all like it.
I was really confused by Edward's reaction to meeting Jake and then just leaving me like that. WTF I haven't seen him all summer and he just barely said two sentences to me before running off.
I didn't have much time to think about it further before Alice came at me full speed.
"Bella, You look so good! I have out done myself again of course. Did you see what I did? I matched you and Edward perfectly just like I did with Em and Rose and Jasper and I. Get it? Maybe Edward will see how well you guys look together and it will happen tonight!" she squealed.
I pulled her off me, "Al, I don't think that's gonna happen. I saw him and then he left right after I introduced him to Jake. He looked upset and I don't know what I did." I said feeling tear start to well up in my eyes.
Alice looked at me sympathetically then had a look of realization. "Bella! He thinks you and Jake are together, like boyfriend and girlfriend."
"That can't be possible! Jake is completely gay." I said as if it was obvious because well it is obvious.
"Ed doesn't know that. He hasn't been around these last few months and unless you told him that then he doesn't know. OMGSH this means he is totally jealous! This is amazing! Oh Jake, could you and Emmett would bring in the cake from Bella's truck?" Jake just shrugged and went to find Emmett. "Bella you have to go find him and talk to him, and for God's sake be flirty, DON'T be a guy!" Alice huffed and pushed me towards Edward's room.
I knocked on his door and hear "go away"
"Ed? It's me Bella. Can I come in?" I asked.
"Bella? Sure come in." I opened his door and saw him sitting on his bed putting away a picture.
I walked over to his bed and sat down. I gave him a big hug that I tried to show him how much I missed him.
"Shouldn't you be with Jake?" He sneered.
"No I came to be with you of course. I missed you Ed, like crazy."
"I'm sure Jake kept you occupied enough."
"Enough Ed, Jake is just my friend! In fact he wouldn't be interested in me any way" I shouted.
"Why not? You are a beautiful girl; any guy would be crazy not to like you. I didn't tell you how nice you look tonight." Ed said with a rare blush on his face after.
'Yeah any guy but the one I want, You.' I thought. "Thank you, but I really meant it. He would be more into you than me." I tried to hint at.
"Wha-Oh! You mean he's gay? The guy you came in with that was wearing the sports jersey?"
I bumped his shoulder with mine and laughed, "Yes, that guy. He is completely batting for the same team as me."
We laughed our asses off and it felt really good. We both leaned back onto his bed and just looked at his ceiling. He had these mirrors on his ceiling and some may think it's tacky but I really thought it was cool.
He was lying next to me on his back with his eyes closed. I looked up onto his ceiling at him and just stared at him. This was my favorite side of Edward, completely at peace and letting his guard down. I just relished in this time to ourselves, it was just how it always has been, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, best friends for practically all of our lives.
I couldn't help but wonder if we ever did become something more if anything would change between us. Would we still be able to joke around, watch sports, make fun of each other? I would really hope so because that was what I love so much about our relationship, the fact that we could actually be ourselves and not worry about what each other thought.
As I was thinking this I assumed Edward had fallen asleep since he still had his eyes closed and hadn't said anything in like fifteen minutes.
"Hey, if you don't mind me asking but why did you go through this whole transformation? Was it really for your benefit or did you do it for someone else?" Edward asked with his eyes still closed.
"Um it was a little bit of both. Like I said in the beginning, I will be graduating this year and not one guy has ever really looked twice at me. HELL, you guys just realized I wasn't a guy this spring really! I also want to feel better about myself and believe it or not dressing like this does give me more confidence." I explained.
"That's not true about the guy thing you know. I know a couple guys that have noticed you before. Any guy that hasn't would have to be completely blind. Em and I have had to threaten guys before because of shit they were saying about you." Edward said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I was in shock because this was the first time I had ever heard anything about any guy liking me. I sorta just laid there in shock when Edward draped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me a little closer. This wasn't anything different or special, we would always do this when we would sit next to each other. I guess he did this as a sister/brother thing cuz he would sometimes do this to Alice. My heart on the other hand I thought was gonna explode.
He pulled me closer and I felt his lips on my head, "Please don't ever change for a guy. We are stupid and if a guy can't see how amazing and beautiful you are with out all that crap then he doesn't deserve you." I think I had tears forming and all I wanted to do was tell him that I loved him.
We just laid there for another five minutes when all of a sudden we heard a bang on the door.
"OK ENOUGH ALONE TIME GUYS! We have a whole party down here and everyone wants to talk to both of you guys. Get your asses out here and party!" we heard Alice shouting at us.
"I guess we should get you back to your party, huh?" I said standing up and grabbing his hand to pull him up.
"I don't wanna!" he whined like a five year old.
"Come on, it will be fun we got you a big boy that looks like a baseball park!" I said acting like his mother. He just stared at me for a couple seconds than we both busted out laughing.
Again he slung his arm around my shoulder and we walked out to greet Alice who was tapping her foot on the floor waiting not so patiently for us to come out.
Alice gave me a look asking if something happened, my smile faltered but only for a second as I shook my head no but then had to practically pull Edward down the stairs to his welcome back party.
OK guys here is chapter 10! It is shorter but if you guys noticed I updated sooner. I have gotten a couple reviews saying that people wouldn't mind if the chapters were shorter as long as I updated more. Would that be ok for you guys? Let me know and please review so I know if you like the chapter! Thanks guys love you mucho!
