Oh, god. I was putty in his hands. He kept the same amount of pressure on our lips for quite some time. Finally he pulled back an inch, still holding my face. My eyes were wide in shock and I let out a huge breath. He looked me in the eyes but didn't say a word.

We stood there in silence for… well i'm not quite sure how long. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. I let out a stuttered breath. He pulled me into a hug.

"Sorry." He whispered. I nodded and he pulled away. He started walking over to the other side of the car and I took a step forward. I heard the car start up and he drove away.

After a few minutes I finally gathered a small portion of the thoughts and told my brain to take me inside.

It didn't take long for me to do what little homework I had and then I called for pizza, getting the usual. I sat on the floor cross legged trying to figure out what movie to watch. I read every title but my brain kept turning it's full consciousness to the tingling that still lingered on my lips.

I gave up after a few minutes and decided to rent a movie off of the t.v. I'd pay Dad later.

*knock knock* The door opened.

"Heyyy." I whipped my head around much too fast to see who it was, falling over in the process. I already knew it was Edward, but I was still jumpy.

"Hey." I stood up and took a deep breath. He searched my face for… whatever expression he was looking for but must not have found it. He looked down and back up, his brows furrowed.

"Come." He whispered pulling me to the couch. He sat on one leg while I still felt invaded and sat with my arms around my knees.

"Bells, come on. Talk to me." He leaned over pleading me to look in his eyes. I shrugged.

"There's nothing to talk about." I croaked. I looked over at him and he smirked at me and then it faded. He rubbed my knee.

"Look, Bells… i'm sorry I kissed you…" my heart beat increased. "…I know it was not cool of me. I didn't ask and you weren't prepared and… I don't know. I would use instinct as an excuse but then I'd juts be lying like an ass." I shook my head.

"No, you're not an ass." He chuckled lightly and pulled his arm around me.

"Hey…" He paused waiting for me to look at him. I did.

"I'm sorry I won't do it again, kay?" I nodded. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I unraveled myself so I could hug him back.

Edward picked out Mean Girls. We laughed and acted normal. Well, he did. I laughed but still curled up in a ball at the far end of the couch. He looked over at me and I quickly plastered a smile on my face. It must have been too fake because he paused the movie.

"What?-"

"Listen to me, Bella." He growled as he made his way over to my side.

"You will enjoy yourself or I will tickle you for so long you won't be able to breath without having the instinct of laughing. Got it?" I gulped.

"Mhmm."

"What?"

"Yeah." I choked out.

"Bella you're going to have to speak up or I might just do this." He pinched my side.

"Ah! E- Edward. Don't." I giggled. Now he was full on tickling me.

"Ed-ward ha haha STOP! Please… Edward! Edward it hurts to-"

"What the hell is going on!" Oh shit, Charlie. Edward shot off the couch. Charlie stood these with his hands on his hips.

"D-Dad.. we were just having a tickle fight.. or Edward was. I was the victim."

"The… victim. Don't make up excuses Isabella Marie or he will never-"

"Dad. PLEASE don't go there. We weren't doing what you think we were doing. We have no intentions of that."

"Oh, really? What did I think you were doing?" I let my face drop in my hands.

"Dad! Really? Ew, ok! We all know what you thought we were doing and we weren't now can you please drop it?" He stood there with a clenched jaw.

"Fine. I'm going to bed. Night." He eyed Edward before heading to his room.

"Night.." We muttered together. Charlie had not really… accepted Edward at first when we were friends and he had just gotten used to or… ok I guess having him there. It was a sturdy enough board that Edward was able to walk across on. Now a nail had fallen out.

"I should probably go-"

"No please don't I-"

"No really, Bells.. it's ok we've seen that movie a bunch of times anyway.."

"But Edward come on!" I walked over to him and pulled him into a hug.

"It isn't even ten yet." I mumbled into his chest. He rubbed my back and sighed.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" He leaned back to look at me. I met his gaze. He smiled and shook his head.

"You are a dangerous creature Isabella Swan."

"How so?" His face dropped. He paused.

"We better finish that movie.." He slipped out of our hug. I grabbed his forearm.

"Ah ah ah. I don't think so. Tell me Edward. How so?" I tapped my foot waiting for an answer. He started to blush.

"That face you put on is uhm… irresistible. You just can't ignore it. It makes you forget anything you were going to do and snaps you back into place. But even then you don't feel like you should do what your were going to do before.. because you'd still never win." I was confused.

"And what exactly were you going to do?" He looked down.

"Nothing. I forgot. See?" I smiled. I peaked into my eyes. Something snapped in my brain. He wasn't gonna… no he promised he wouldn't. Well… he didn't. But what if I did? No. Why would I? It felt wrong and right… but I went for it anyway.

"Were you gonna do this?"
