A/N: Well, I have closed the poll asking who the person at the end of the last chapter should be because I had the craving to continue writing the story. So I'm going to use the results I have gotten so far. Thank you to everyone who voted and to those who didn't thank you for just reading the story. Anyway, time to move forward in the story. Are you guys ready? I know I am haha.

I was sitting in my fifth period class wishing time would go faster so that I could see Bella again. I hope she will sit with me and the others at lunch today. Right as the bell rang to release us to lunch I got a quick vision of Bella deciding to go outside for lunch today. Hmm, this would be a perfect opportunity to spend some time alone with her.

I sent a quick text to Jazz telling him that I wouldn't be coming to lunch today, because I had something more important to take care of.

Have fun with Bella ;)

I laughed quietly at his text as I began to make my way towards the picnic table I knew Bella would be at. When I got within five feet of her I stopped. I just stood there watching her for a few minutes. I was surprised that she didn't immediately acknowledge my presence. Her eyes were closed and for a minute she looked like the old Bella. Her face was open and peaceful. I finally decided to say something.

"Hey." My voice was low so as to not startle her.

I watched as she slowly sat up and turned to face me. She had put in her contacts today, but the color was an odd one no longer the violet color they were when her eyes were crimson. She set her feet on the bench as she leaned her elbows on her knees.

"Hey." She replied just as quietly as I had spoken.

"May I sit?" I gestured to the empty spot next to her.

"No. That seat is taken." A small smirk appeared on her lips. Her eyes were dancing with a small amount of amusement. I decided to play along. I pouted.

"Awe, by who? I really wanted to sit next to a pretty girl like you." I added a wink.

"Well, you see there is the beautiful little pixie that I want sitting next to me."

"Oh really? Anyone I know?" I asked as I took the seat anyway, and bumped her shoulder with mine.

"No. I don't think you know her. Her name is Alice, and she is quite short only about five feet even. She has short, messy, black hair. She's absolutely gorgeous, and I can't seem to keep her out of my thoughts." Her voice had started out light and playful, but by the end she was dead serious as she stared into my eyes. She can't stop thinking about me? I wanted to literally jump for joy at that idea.

"She sounds very familiar. Are you sure I don't know her?" I tried to keep my voice light, but I'm not sure how well I did.

"Actually, I think you know her quite well. As a matter of fact, I would say that you and her are the same person." I didn't notice that as she was speaking we were both leaning closer to each other. I could feel her cool breath washing over my lips. We were basically sharing breaths. I was slowly becoming incoherent as her scent washed over my senses.

"Do I?" I managed to breath out.

All she did was nod as I saw her eyes flash to my lips. Kiss me. Please Bella, kiss me. I kept chanting that over and over in my mind. I wanted to kiss her so bad, but I was afraid I would push her farther away with that move. All I could do was wait. I was staring into her eyes and I could see the internal battle she was having with herself. Please! I watched as the indecision drained away to be replaced with a fierce determination in her eyes. Before I could even think about saying anything, her lips were on mine.

To say I was surprised would be an understatement. Before my mind could catch up with what was happening I felt her pulling away. I couldn't have that now could I? I leaned into her more to keep our mouths connected. I felt one of her hands settle on the table between our legs, and the other one was now on my thigh. My arms wrapped around her neck as she deepened the kiss by running her tongue along my bottom lip. I moaned quietly in the back of my throat and opened my mouth without any hesitation. She tasted better than I could have ever imagined. Her tongue massaged mine and my hands became tangled in her brunette locks, pulling her face impossibly closer. As we pulled back I noticed I wasn't the only one breathing hard. Stupid human habits.

"Wow." I breathed as my eyes slowly fluttered open. I watched as her eyes opened slowly, before an award winning smile broke out over her face. I brought my hand up and touched my bottom lip lightly with two fingers.

"You kissed me." I stated. I was a little dumbfounded; my brain was completely scrambled by her kiss.

She laughed quietly before answering. "I did. Jasper made me think about things in a new way today. I've been mulling over you, and me, and us all day. I don't want to make both of us more miserable by staying away from you any longer. I want you. You want me. We both love each other so why wait? Why waste any more time?"

"So where does this leave us?" I asked as I dropped my hand back into my lap.

"We're together if you want us to be. I don't want to stay away from you any longer Alice. I know we just found each other again, but I've loved you for so long that it doesn't matter. I can't lie to myself and say I don't want you, but we should take this slow." She said.

I nodded my agreement. We needed to take this slow. We had to get to know each other again. Right as I was going to say something the bell rang for lunch to end.

"We should get to class Ali." She hopped off the table and held her hand out to me. I took it, even though I could get down perfectly fine alone, I wanted to touch her. I needed to know this was real. She didn't release my even after I was standing next to her. She kissed my check lightly as she began leading us towards our art class. All throughout the last two classes of the day one thought dominated my mind.

She kissed me!

A/N: Well there was Chapter 15. Most people voted for it to be Alice so that's who I wrote. I'm thinking about possibly getting Jacob and the wolves involved in the next few chapters. What do you think? Review and let me know! Thanks for reading as always :)
