Here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight.

The closest movie theater was in Port Angeles, and the drive there took us a little over and hour. Bella drove immensely slow but it was tolerable. It was strangely silent most of the way there. I guess both of us were immersed in our own thoughts. A few times I would get impatient and ask her what she was thinking which she would reply with a simple, "You." or "Us.".

"What movie would you like to see?" I asked her as she found a parking spot.

"Do you realize we haven't really kissed since today at school?" she said abruptly.

I smirked a little and replied, "That's an odd name for a movie."

She scowled at me and playfully smacked my shoulder.

"You're such a tease," she grumbled.

I bowed my head to her level and pressed my lips to hers. At once she squeezed us together by locking her arms around my neck. Our chests were flush against each other and I let out a low groan. I did not want to stop kissing her.

"I know I am," I whispered against her lips. I kept my lips firmly to hers for one more second, and then pulled away to avoid things getting out of hand.

Her thin arms were still in a vice around my neck and I grinned at her before I leaned down to kiss her jaw.

"Was that really a kiss?" I murmured against her skin.

She swallowed loudly, but said nothing.

"Hmmm?"

"I - I guess it will do," she stammered. I chuckled and reached behind my neck to release her grip on me.

"Let's go." I then reached over to pop open her door and proceeded to get out of the car.

We held hands as we entered the movie theater and instantly the annoying hum of human thoughts in my head increased in volume. Irritating, but bearable. I was about to question what movie she intended to see again but as I turned my head to ask her, I noticed something definitely was not bearable. Two of them – Mike and Jessica.

They were in line for tickets, holding hands although I could see Jessica was more delighted with their stance than Mike was. I could hear Jessica gossiping and Mike's thoughts mirrored annoyance.

"Dammit."

Bella glanced up at me in question and I curtly nodded my head in the direction of the issue. Her brown eyes widened and then she turned to me.

"Oh no," she moaned quietly.

"I know," I whispered back.

I saw Jessica turn her head for a moment and then turn it back when she came to the realization that Bella and I were here. She tugged on Mike's jacket and he turned around also. At first he grimaced but when he saw Bella next to me, a sly smile made it's way onto his face.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! This is my chance! I will finally get Bella to like me! It shouldn't be that hard. Cullen can't be as great as he plays up to be. She will finally realize she wants me!

I had to keep my jaw tight to keep from lunging at him as he sauntered over to us like he owned the place. Jessica was far from his mind and she let out a huff of annoyance and followed him.

I removed my hand from Bella's and wound my arm around her waist instead. She leaned into me and I kissed the top of her head. I breathed in air deeply, inhaling her scent with it, and let it calm me.

"Hey, Bella...Edward." Newton greeted. It was difficult for me to maintain a polite manor, but I managed to do so.

"Hello, Mike." I acknowledged.

"Hi, Mike," Bella spoke weakly.

"What movie are you guys going to see?" Jessica asked. It surprised me she didn't speak up sooner.

"We're not sure yet," Bella replied.

"You should come with us to see Vampires Unite." Newton grinned.

My lips twitched at the hilarity of their movie choice. And I looked down at Bella to see her fighting off laughter also.

"Edward?" Bella raised her eyebrows. I could tell she wanted to see it, as did I. It seemed to comical too pass up.

"Sure," I said. It came out sounding like a laugh.

Why do they look like they're trying not to laugh. Is something wrong with my hair? Is there something in my teeth? I don't want to look bad in front of Edward Cullen! Then why did he laugh? What's so funny about a stupid vampire movie? Jessica thought.

"Everything," I mouthed in silence. Everything is funny about a vampire movie. Hollywood's versions of our kind were not plausible, but absurd. Fangs, mutating into bats, dark clothing – it was all so bizarre.

The woman that worked at the ticket booth's assessment of my supposed beauty was rather disturbing. I kept my eyes trained on Bella's face the whole time, barely registering that fact that the woman was actually a woman. I only knew because of the feminine sound of her thoughts. By the expression on my Bella's face I could see that she knew the direction of the woman's thoughts. Seeing her distressed was making me upset so I gently pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead.

I leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry, sweetheart."

I wonder if he's single. Maybe that's his sister or something - it has to be. But damn, they look nothing alike. Maybe if I write my number on the ticket...

I snorted at her unobtainable anticipation of getting a date with me.

"Two tickets for Vampires Unite, please." My lips twitched upwards again and I struggled not to laugh as I traded the money for the tickets.

After receiving our tickets, I planned to go to the movie without waiting for Newton and Jessica to get their tickets, however, his thoughts had me staying to watch them buy their tickets.

"Two tickets to the vampire movie," Mike said almost rudely.

"That'll be seventeen dollars."

"Er....Jessica?" Mike began sheepishly.

"What?" Her tone was sharp.

"My mom sorta took away all of my money...can you pay?"

Jessica's face went from shock to rage as she grudgingly took the money from her purse and slammed it into Mike's palm. Bella's jaw had dropped and I couldn't help but laugh.

It wasn't hard to decipher that Newton was trying to get closer to Bella as we headed towards the movie. I had to keep my left hand clutched to Bella's and my right hand shoved in my pocket to avoid my fist from snapping towards his face. I could easily see the changing of light when we entered, although it made no difference in my vision.

"Where do you want to sit, Bella?" I murmured.

"It doesn't matter. You choose."

I nodded my head, knowing I wanted to be as far away from Newton as possible. I ended up choosing the forth row because it's lack of people. I sat down in one of the seats and Bella did the same in the seat next to me. Almost subconsciously I settled my arm around her shoulders. I heard her sigh in content as she placed her cheek against my chest.

It wasn't long until Newton decided to interfere.

"Hey, guys, I hope you don't mind if we sit with you. It's pretty crowded everywhere else." he announced loudly.

That's right, Cullen, she's mine now.

"Er, Mike? The theater is practically empty." Bella retorted. She was correct. For a fairly large theater there were only about twenty people. I guess vampires aren't that amusing.

"Well, we're going to sit here anyways," he rushed. He then grasped Jessica's hand and dragged her down into the seat next to him. I narrowed my eyes at him. He was sitting next to Bella.

"I really wish Mike wasn't here," Bella spoke into my chest.

"You and me both." I sighed.

Bella was fidgeting non-stop due to her discomfort and it bothered me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, rubbing her arm.

"Yeah, I just feel like Mike keeps trying to get closer to me." she muttered.

"Well I think I have the perfect solution to that..."

I hoisted her into my lap and tucked her head under my chin, burying my face into her hair. Newton's face distorted in disgust but I couldn't care less. All I cared about was Bella. She took my hands and began playing with them in her lap, pleased at our current position. I grinned and the movie began.

Yay! I actually had the patience to finish another chapter! *Insert stupid yet fun happy dance here* Thank you to all my reviewers and readers. I will probably have the next couple chapters up in a few days but I'm not making any promises because I've been having a lot of stuff going on lately. Please review!
