DISCLAIMER. Boohoo, I do not own Twilight. Although the SPARE CHARACTERS, such as the additions to Bella's family, boyfriends and girlfriends, I do.

A/N. Very quick. I need ASAP a beta-reader. PM me or something like that. :) I don't know why I updated this quickly, but I did. Enjoy.

Frankly, what is the whole point in taking those dumb classes anyways? Oh, right… Because I'm supposed to be a grad two or so years from now, not an undergrad. I won't even describe my classes here, because they were dull, like all classes are supposed to be. So it was lunch time, yet again, me and Jasper should meet the rest of the gang on a small café on campus.

"I really don't see why we are going to Synapse, we might as well go to Bombshelter, its burger, the everyday American lunch." I protested to Jasper as we walked down the hall. We wouldn't have to walk much to get there, since our classes were at the Northeastern part of the Campus, the others, not so much.

"Because Rosalie has been bugging us to go there for the last five thousand weeks?" Jasper gave a try to humor me.

I shrugged. "Jazzy, remember? It's a Café, and we have a junky with us… We'll be lucky if she doesn't try to jump over the counter and put her hands on the espresso machine."

"Yeah, maybe we should get them out of there. Bombshelter is not really far is it?"

Ding, ding! Victory! I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have used Alice's problems as a way to get what I want, but usually the smallest amount of coffee I take is enough to keep me up all night, and I think I already had my share last night. Usually I kept myself wondering around the campus like a maniac, there were a lot of securities that were my friends already, like Rose and John, they were the best, the first time I got insomnia on campus however wasn't so pretty, they thought I was a robber and tried to tackle me down, not before, of course that I tried to explain myself, I had to say that I was a freshman and everything, the next thing I knew I was at the dean's office explaining why I didn't like to take sleeping pills. It was embarrassing to say the least.

Before I could realize, Jasper had flipped his phone and dialed someone's number.

"Edward, hey. Bombshelter okay? That's where we're going, so tell everyone to get their asses out of there because I do not want to deal with Alice when she has four or five cups of coffee down her throat, and you know her coffee has lots, and lots of sugar right? And it just increases her problem" I heard Edward's complaining voice on the other side of the line. God! Whiny, whiny baby! "I know that you are all settled in man, I don't care, leave Rosalie and Emmett there, and just get your sister to Bombshelter. I know you are driving, just… Get her there. Five minutes."

"I'm counting!" I said into the phone before Jasper closed it. I was still smiling and feeling quite triumphant.

"So, Bells, you were awfully quiet on class today." Jasper started.

"Was I?" I tried the best to act innocent, for sure. Jasper was just toned with me, I don't know, he knew me better than a lot of people.

"No, quiet isn't probably the best word to describe you… You were… Daydreaming." Jasper locked his eyes on mine. "Is there some boy in your life I should know about? Is it Edward?"

I made a shocked and then a disgusted face. What was up with them, trying to hook us up? If they hadn't noticed yet, I'm not quite the material girlfriend for Edward Cullen, and he is defiantly not a material boyfriend, for anyone. But he surely could be… Ah, here we go again, with you… inner voice! Stupid, stupid inner voice! I do not want Edward Cullen.

"No Jazz, no boy and surely not Edward Cullen. C'mon, do you really think he would want something with me? I'm surely not what he's looking for and he's not what I'm looking for, that for sure. He's a friend, actually only sometimes, I don't like when he gets too overprotective, which is a lot. And-"

"Defensive much Bells?" His eyebrows were raised.

I let my shoulders fall, maybe the inner voice was winning after all. There was nothing entirely bad I could say about Edward. He was just being Edward, and it's not like the bimbos he hooked up with said anything about wanting to be his one and only, they knew how he was, and they made no complaints, why should I? Because you care about what would happen, if you hooked up with him. Okay, inner voice? You're starting to scare me, so… Shut up!

"I'm sorry, just… no guy for Bella. You know me better than this Jazz, did you seriously thought I would brood over a male?" We were already close to the restaurant, Jasper and I had this thing, we always walked with our arms wrapped, I dunno, we just got used I guess.

"That hurts my feeling Bell, wouldn't you brood over me?" I had to laugh. Out of the two couples that I hung out with, the one that was most in love was Jasper and Alice, I don't know why, sometimes Rose and Emmett got too physical, but not Jazzy and Al, they would look in each other's eyes and it would be so intense that you would have the need to look away from the intimate moment they were sharing, almost like they were making love through telepathy.

"You know Alice would kill me and bury me in the football field before I even considered doing so, don't you?" He messed my hair, unlacing his arm from mine and sitting down on a table by the window, I sat across from him.

"Are you ready to order?" The waitress came, completely looking only to Jasper, pretending that I wasn't even there.

"Uh, no. We're waiting for some friends, but thank you." I spoke, before Jasper could say anything, he was blushing, it was so cute. The waitress turned to me and gave me a smile; I shot her a death glare… No I didn't, I just gave her an unfriendly smile before she rolled away. Yes, Bombshelter tried to do something like Hooters, all the workers were students with big boobs; they wore super fitting tank tops and Lycra short shorts, roller skaters on their feet, only a change of colors, instead of orange and white, they were blue and golden yellow. Degrading job, but the burgers were good, so I had nothing to complain about.

"Okay Jazzy, calm down." I joked while he took a deep sigh.

"It's okay Bell, I'm okay. I'm just glad that the woman sitting in front of me is you and not Alice."

"Yes, she would probably murder the waitress… Poor thing, but your secret is safe with me."

"Just like yours is safe with me."

I looked at Jasper astounded but quickly regained my posture as Alice's squeal came through the door. Why did she always have to be screaming?

"Jazzy." She said before she gave him a quick peck on the lips. Rosalie and Emmett followed them right behind, leaving Edward to walk in alone. I denied myself to ogle him for any amount of time, instead I looked at the poor waitress who stopped her tracks and looked at him, I almost tore myself up in laughs, but I bit my bottom lip in order to hold them back, my friends would look at me like I was crazy if they saw my facial expression.

And then I noticed that Edward wasn't the only one following behind, Josh had come with them, and they were in an intense conversation.

"I know man, but she hates me." That was the only thing I heard Edward say, because I had gotten up from my seat and walked to where they were standing.

"Who hates you Eddie?" I asked, he looked at me with a shocked look and he… blushed? He had been doing this a lot for the past hours.

"I-Uh… Nobody." He said, not looking at me. He was lying, a big, and fat, lie, but I wasn't going to push him, and I didn't have to right to do so. He didn't even say hi, he just passed by me and walked to our table sitting there.

It was my time to be mad at Josh. I gave him the death glare, the only look I gave him when I was mad at him. "Bells, are you mad?"

"You think?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"C'mon Bells, give your big bro a hug, I missed you." He opened his arms, expecting that I would fold myself between them and hug him senseless.

"You missed me? When? Perhaps when you were taking Liz's clothes off. Oh no, wait… maybe it was when you were on top of her and screaming her name out loud. Spare me Joshua Swan, go hug Elizabeth." I turned my back to him and walked to our table, sting next to Edward who quickly took his arm off the chair, maybe I shouldn't have noticed that.

"Don't be a baby Bells. I hate when you act like this." I rolled my eyes, I was going to give him the cold shoulder, he deserved it. He knew how much I hated that red headed bitch, I seriously don't know what his deal with the red heads is, and he always goes for the sluttiers, the ones who would fight with me and be with him only for the money, not to mention that they didn't have any brain whatsoever.

"Are you still with the envelope?" I turned my full attention to the man sitting next to me. I was grim, and seeing what the hell was in that envelope was going to cheer me up.

"I thought you were going to wait for him to open in front of the football team Bella." Rosalie spoke before Edward could emit any sound from his mouth, but all I got from him was a confused look.

"I know Rose, but poor girl, she has the hots for Eddie and I'm sure she didn't asked me to deliver this thing to him in order to be opened in front of the entire team, besides, we're having our practice with the guys today, and I don't feel like getting hurt." Rosalie sighed. It was pretty obvious that she didn't care for my physical health, but I know she cares about me, enough to not try convincing me to persuade Edward that the better thing is open the Pandora box in front of the team.

"You're practicing with us?" Emmett asked with a huge grin on his face.

"Yes Em, coach told us to, actually, I think she will make us practice with you every other Friday since we have games, games, games."

"It should be fun, seeing all the fools drooling over you guys." He laughed, probably imagining the scene.

"I'll smack on the head anyone that looks at Bells." Joshua said, I turned to him and rolled my eyes again.

"You won't get a way into my heart by threatening the team Joshua."

"What should I do to make you love me again?" He was being dramatic, making the lost puppy dog eyes and pouting his bottom lip, putting his hands over his heart, and truly looking defeated.

"Maybe you should stop dating red headed bimbos, who only want to have sex with you and are after your money."

"What's wrong with that?" I heard Edward say joyfully behind me, raising his hand above my head; Joshua joined him, smacking his hand.

"Mind your own business Cullen." I turned to him, practically snapping. "And you, just… UGH!" I threw my hands in the air, got up and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving everyone else behind. I was in true need of some air.

[EPOV]

Alright, what the hell had just happened now? Bella simply took off, and then, right after that, Alice smacked me in the head.

"Great move shit face." What had I done wrong? Okay, maybe I was a little obsolete to Bella's little snap, but she had no right of doing so, had she? She was the one wrong in all of this.

"You just left me with a hell of a lot making up to do here Edward." Joshua gave me a disappointed look. Wasn't he the one hi-fiving along with me? "Actually not just me, if you want things to run the way you think they will, you have to get better in when you're front of her."

I bet that no one understood what Joshua said to me. The thing was, these days, I have been feeling something towards Bella, I wouldn't confess it to anyone, because they – mostly importantly, Alice – would try to hook me up with her, and I knew Bella hated me, or she acted that way. When she was being nice to me around the others, it was unnatural, but when it was the two of us alone, she was the Bella I liked, and I liked a lot. Her body, the dimples on her back, which I think they're incredibly sexy, her big brown hair, that had a life of its own, some days it was completely straight, and some days, waves decided to descend from her shoulders to her waist, narrowing her lower back, and then there were her big brown, eyes, they were so expressive, and yet, she made completely sure that the emotions would come out hidden. When she encountered me sneaking out of Jessica and Lauren's apartment, I sort of felt ashamed on myself. If I continue to jump from bedroom, to bedroom, I might never get her to entirely trust me, and let lose around me.

"What the hell that was supposed to mean Josh?" Alice snapped me out of my "thinking about Bella" time.

"He meant nothing, nothing at all. Right Joshua?" I looked at him with a 'help me man!' look on my face.

"Y-yeah, I meant nothing by that. I suppose I was just thinking out loud." He returned my look.

"So, umm… I guess I'll go take a walk around guys. See you in practice… Maybe at the gym, I don't know." All I wanted to do is look around for Bella, without being under the eyes of Alice the Hawk.

"Why are you going so fast Edward? Sit and eat man." Jasper had to get in the middle of my brilliant plan.

"Yeah Edward, sit. You have an ant up your ass or what?" God, sometimes I just wanted to choke my little sister with my bare hands, if she wasn't so big mouthed, I would most likely tell her my plans to get into Bella's heart, but she would want to help me and before I knew, Rosalie would want to help me, Emmett and Jasper as well, I already started feeling claustrophobic, so I just kept up with my "I hate Bella" disguise.

"No I don't, and I'm not hungry, so I'll just go take a walk before classes start again."

Alice narrowed her blue eyes at me. "You're going after Bella, aren't you?" Okay, maybe she was a little too nosy, mainly when it came to my love life, but I didn't want to tell her that I was going to look for Bella; the Spanish inquisition was a long time ago.

"Are we done playing twenty questions? God! I'm going over to Lauren's to thank her for this." I showed the envelope, still intrigued with whatever was in it. "Happy now?"

"Peachy." Now we had moved on to cranky Alice.

"What now Alice?"

"Nothing Edward, I just don't know what you see in that girl. Just… UGH!"

"What now? Are you going to act Bella-ish all over me? Why don't you just sit back and get your nose out of my damn sex life? You know what I see in her? Sex, free sex. God! What's up with you woman? Just let your brother get laid!" I might have overreacted, but I was kind of getting tired of standing here and imagine who was making sure Bella was okay… Maybe Mike Newton… The only thought sent shivers down my spine.

"I thought you were going." The ice queen Alice said.

"And so I will. See you guys around. Ciao." I waved at all of them and Joshua gave me a significant look, I knew exactly what he meant with that look, and he knew exactly where I was going.

I walked out of the dining with one single mission in my head: Find Bella. I wasn't driving that day like Jasper assumed, and I hated walking, but I realized that I had started a small jog while searching for her, my head was spinning 1000 miles per minute, in each thought a different man was beside Bella, and I seriously could not stand that thought. I must have ran errands for about thirty minutes before I found her sitting on the grass in front of a housing building, leaning on the tree, the wind blew her hair back, giving me a nice view of her face, her beautiful pale skin, that suited her so damn well, I wanted to caress her, but I kept the desire to myself. I walked up to her, she must have not noticed I was there because nothing came out of her mouth, she was looking at her hands and sometimes, she passed her right hand through her silky hair.

"Hey Bells." I greeted her, stuffing my hands into my front pockets.

I think I snapped her out of her bubble. "Hey Edward." Her voice was soft, and she blushed when she looked up to see me. She looked even more beautiful when her cheeks were in that rosy color. It matched her just well.

"Mind if I join you?" I asked. A nice, simple, harmless approach. I didn't mean to scare her away.

"Be my guest." Her voice had a pinch of coldness.

"I'm sorry about that. I guess that testosterone got the best of me." Testosterone got the best of me? Is that what you could come up with? You're laughable Cullen.

"It's okay, I understand… I guess. It's just that I get so defensive because he is being too careless, and so are you." This was the Bella I liked, the one I could engage easily in a conversation with, no tense moments, no weirdness or embarrassments, I presume I could be myself more effortlessly when I'm around her. No need to be Edward Cullen the Football Captain womanizer, I could be just… Edward Cullen.

"Bells, we know that. Why do you think that with them we just go from bed to bed?" She laughed, I was glad she was in a better mood now, and seemed to have forgiven me for being so dumb before.

"I believe you're right. It's just that Joshua and you are being dumb, you really don't see the train wreck you'll be causing don't you?"

I raised my eyebrows; I had no idea what she was talking about.

She smiled. I liked that smile it reached her eyes. "The girls you're playing with. Liz, Lauren, Jessica and all the other bimbos… They may not have brains, but they do have hearts." She sighed. "What will happen if they fall in love with you huh? What will you do? Walk away from them when it's too late?"

"What happened to the hostility against them?"

"I might not like them, but I'm still a girl, and I'm quite aware of what they feel, because I would feel like that too… if I was a blonde, bimbo with only a shallow heart to be hurt."

"I'm glad you're not Bells." I ruffled her hair; she pushed my hand away and hit me playfully in the arm. Why those little things she did made me think she only sees me as a brother she sometimes hated, and sometimes not? I'm not interested in being a brother, no! I want to be more than friends.

"Why? Because you don't want to get in my pants?" Bella joked, I cringed. Because I prefer brunettes, meaning that I prefer you.

Instead, I just edited my thoughts and went with: "No, silly thing, because… You're more than that; even if you tried hard enough, you wouldn't be a bimbo." That was a crappy answer; however I couldn't spill my guts to her, could I?

She blushed again. She got sweeter by the second. "So, how's the arrangements for the game tonight?" I shrugged. Tonight we would again take a bus and go to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, to play against another West Coast university, which lead us towards the final big game, usually against USC, last year, my freshmen year at UCLA we lost, I wasn't the Quarterback and I was stuck with my butt on the bench through most of the game and I got very pissed, UCLA always lost to USC on football, even thought we beat them in basketball, but this year it would be different.

Of course we all had an enormous blast at the Blue and Gold Week, the week before the game against USC we would have a bonfire and many other things, this week was not far from us, and I guess that by then, I'll be seating by the fire with Bella watching the flames glow, she'll be between my legs and I'll hold a protective arm around her while I rest my chin on her head. Wow! Daydreaming much? Snap out of it Cullen.

"You know, it's always easy for us until… USC."

"It'll be different this year. I promise I'll cheer my ass off." We laughed. This is something I want to see.

"You better watch out, or I might lose a touchdown." I was getting better and better at making her blush.

"No you won't, you better watch out though; all of my team will be willing to peel your tights off your body after the game, don't tell them I told you."

"Cross my heart and hope to die." I swore. "I suppose that there was something I promised I would open with you." I took the red envelope off my coat, giving to her.

"You really didn't have to wait for me." I shook my head no.

"I stand by my promises, Bella. It hurts me you think otherwise of me." I offered her the envelope, and she reluctantly took it. I don't know why all of the sudden she was all uncomfortable.

"Are you ready?" I simply nodded, giving her the motion to go ahead that open the thing. "You better open it tho, I think there might be something in there that is intelligence proof."

I laughed, but took the envelope from her small hands, hands that would feel so good running through your bare chest and back. Alright, that was odd, I really need to get a hold of my thoughts, I haven't been around Bella for anymore than twenty minutes and I was already having these thoughts?

"Dun, dun, dun, dun…" She giggled while I tried to make the sound track of Jaws while opening the cover. "Jesus, she stuffed a lot of stuff in here."

"Then let's start picking up item by item. I don't know if I want to see them all tho, just peek in there, if there's anything too gross, just don't show it to me." Her small figure shivered.

"You cold?"

"Nah, I shiver like this all the time, I must have ghosts passing through me or something." Still, I didn't believe her, I took out my leather jacket and put it around her shoulders, and she looked at me amazed for a while and then, just peeled the expression off her face. "Thanks." Came out barely as a whisper. I just smiled.

"Okay, I don't think there will be anything gross, but, let's start." I said picking out the first item, it seemed to be a DVD? I don't know, it was held inside a CD case, it only read…

"Watch when you're alone?" Bella had stolen the case away from my hands and read it out loud. "Alright then, good luck when you're watching. Maybe is lessons of Kama Sutra given by her." I had to laugh; I guess I was doing this a lot when I was around her. So easy…

"Really?"

"You're right? She wouldn't be THAT creative." I heard her murmuring something unintelligible under her breath.

"What was that?" She knew she had been caught.

"Nothing." Bella said biting her bottom and I had to fight the urge to not bit it myself. "Let's move on. Next item please?" Her voice had authority in it as she put her hand in front of her, with her palm turned up. Without thinking, I gave her the next item.

"Ew!" All I heard before she tossed the object towards to me, a pair of panties, see through, red and with a little shimmer on them, maybe a hole or two in the parts where it really should be covered. "She really doesn't live anything to imagination, does she?" She shook her head in disapproval.

"That's pretty much why I get so easily bored with her. I like using my imagination, but even when it's not bed-time, both of Lauren and Jessica just walk around flaunting everything, all of their assets. If I brought home a girl like that, dad would kill me, and mom would die in disgust."

"You know that this doesn't sound like Carlisle and Esme, they would just say to you that are better girls out there, but if you really loved her, then I'm sure they would stay behind any decision you made. They're your parents Edward, not your warders and they know that pretty much. Dad otherwise, would shoot if I brought home someone so…"

"Trashy, trampy, slutty, whore?"

"I would say promiscuous, but if any other suits fine, than I have no problem with it, right?"

After that, everything went smoothier and smoothier we got to see what there was in the envelope, we came across some condoms, some lube – which I had no idea how to use it, but she left a note glued to it, that promised me that she would show me how –, a letter and then, a picture of her, to my surprise, fully clothed, that's what I thought until Bella mentioned for me to turn the picture around, let's just imply that she wasn't wearing much clothing on the picture she had glued on the back. By the time we were done seeing the things we were laughing, Bella was grasping on her sides, she was laughing really hard.

"Okay, okay." She was the first one of us to talk, wiping the tears away from her eyes, before looking at me. "She sure knows how to…. Um… Surprise?"

"Yeah, I think surprise is the best word to describe it. I really want to figure out how to use this though." I teased her by lifting up the lube, she was in a new shade of red.

"I really didn't need to know that Edward, just put that away, God knows I don't want to imagine you figuring out how to use this." She looked away from my eyes, that disappointed me a bit, but I brought this through, the air was a little bit tense now and the silence was clearly uncomfortable.

"Want to read this?" I lifted the letter so it would be in her sight.

"No, I think better not. You must read it to yourself I mean, I really don't want to know if she's declaring her love for you in this letter, because as we saw… she can be quite… graphic."

Damn me! Why did I have to do the stupid joke? Sometimes you better figure out how to get a grip on your tongue.

"Yeah, better not." There we go again, the tension and the uncomfortable silence.

"I better go, my classes start in a few, and I better walk to them." She said getting up and cleaning the dirt off her jeans. "Thanks for the jacket." She pulled it off her shoulders and gave it to me, smiling.

"It's okay." I said while she put her hair on a messy bun.

"Thanks for…" She bit her bottom lip again; she did that a lot when she got nervous. "Thanks for coming and looking after me Edward, that meant a lot." She thanked me and started to walk away. All I wished for was that I could leap her into my arms and kiss her goodbye, but I chickened out, and it was the right thing to do, I still don't want to scare her away.

"Wait, Bella." I found myself calling out to her while I got up.

"Yes?" She turned on her heels to look at me.

"I was just wondering if you intend on going to the frat house, you know, there will be the after party." I grinned, she smiled in response.

"I guess so. It's not fair that we cheer and don't get any beer."

See what I've been saying? Bella is the real deal, she's a real girl, a girl that could easily hang out with the guys and be comfortable, and how could she not be perfect just by herself? Every little aspect in her made me feel lightheaded – in a good way, in the best way, so I just decided to stop fighting destiny and go after her, she shouldn't be bad for me if she makes me feel incredible right? – I'll say it again: I don't mind being myself around her.

"I guess then I'll see you at the game."

"No Edward, you'll see me in practice."

"Yes, I'll see you in practice."

"Try not to miss me much."

"I'll give it my best try."

"See you." And with that, she turned on her heels and walked away again.

Leave me LOVE. :) Btw, I'm just starting to develop their relationship. It won't take long for the kiss, but please stick with me? Oh and changed sum, because it really didn't follow the story.
