A/N: thanks for the feedback. I want to do longer chapters but I honestly have ADD so I get bored with my thoughts and wrap up a chapter. Lame I know, really sorry. Any mistakes let me know. I really try to keep the grammar and spelling tip top because I hate reading stories with a mistake every other paragraph. Everyone makes mistakes though.
Guess I should throw in a disclaimer. Opps just realized I was missing that. My bad
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight.

An hour later we were still sitting on the rock. We got along swimmingly and I think he is just what I need. Alice is too pushy and talkative to listen to my troubles and Edward and I share the talking time.
"Bella?" Edward questioned with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yeah?"
"Well, could we exchange numbers? I really enjoy talking to you." I pulled out my cell phone and exchanged phones with him.
"I was thinking the same thing! Do you maybe want to meet up for coffee Sunday?" I said as I typed in my name and number, adding my e-mail in for good measure.
"That would be great. Do you mind if my brother comes along? He is looking for houses this weekend, so I'll be forced to drag him along everywhere."
"That would be cool. Is he your only sibling?"
"No, I have a little brother also. He's only eighteen though so he's still trucking through High School."
"Lucky him." I replied in a sarcastic tone. High School was not the highlight of my life. After my troublesome freshman year I became a homebody that didn't go anywhere. College is a lot better. I'm nineteen and finally becoming a little more outgoing.
Edward and I were sharing ear buds so we could talk and listen to the same music. Bowling for Soup's Almost came on and I couldn't help but sing along.
"I almost got drunk at school at fourteen where I almost made out with the homecoming queen. Who almost went on to be Miss Texas but lost to a slut with much bigger brestes. I almost drop out to move to L.A. where I was almost famous for almost a day." Edward and I belted out at the same time. I couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles before the chorus. Edward continued on with the song. He had an amazing voice, even singing Bowling for Soup. I peeked up at him while I was laughing and couldn't help but be struck boy this boy's beauty. His emerald eyes were piercing and before I knew my laughter had subsided and the entrancing eyes came closer.
"What is so funny?" A thick layer of his enchanting breath settled across my face and I couldn't repress smirk that over took my face.
"You." I stated simply.
"Wow, Bella, I'm wounded." He cradled he chest as though my witty remark struck him. This of course encouraged my giggles.
"I'm terribly sorry I laughed at your singing." I retorted with a mock pout.
"Oh! So that's what you thought was funny?"
"Yeppers."
"You just said 'yeppers' and yet your laughing at me?" An adorably confused look crossed his face. I didn't see why 'yeppers' was such a funny word to him, but hey, if that's what it takes to make him look so darn cute I would have to incorporate that word into my language more often. As I opened my mouth to comment it started to rain.

As we ran to a shelter from the rain, I noticed an unworldly scent emanating from Bella and drifting towards my nose. The scent of freesias, strawberries, and something sweet I couldn't detect. As much as I hate to admit this, she truly is amazing and I've only known her for a few hours. Now more than ever I'm glad I broke it off with Lauren.
"Edward?" Her eyes looked at me with amusement and there was a hint of playfulness somewhere in there also.
"Yea?"
"Well……you see," she hid her face quickly, but I'm positive I saw a smirk fighting its way onto her mouth. "Poke," she poked me in the side and ran off laughing. I ran after her after the initial shock of getting poked at the age of 26. When I caught up I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her to my chest laughing.
"Did you seriously just poke me?"
"Um…………no"
"You sure?"
"Nope!"
"So you did?"
"What? I said no."
"Yea, you said no when I asked if you were sure." Her laughing subsided as confusion colored her face. She was easy to get back.
"Gottcha." I whispered in her ear. She shivered and I was suddenly aware of how close we were and the current that was rushing through my body clouding my thoughts. The feeling is odd and unfamiliar, never have I felt such a stream of electricity go through me. I didn't want to drop the source, Bella, but draw her closer. As if the electricity was my power source and she was the only way to keep living. I think she felt it to because as I drew her closer she stiffened in my arms, and then melted into me.
"Edward?" Her soft voce called me out of my thoughts.
"Yes Bella?" My voice was husky and low for reasons beyond my logical thoughts.
She slowly turned in my arms and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I was just thinking, and I really want to be friends," 'well shit! She doesn't want you that way stupid' my mind chastised. I was hurt by this comment and didn't want to hear more, but I pulled the blank face, I had perfected over the years, and waited for the end."But I like you. A lot and I thought it was only fair to tell you that." Now I was just plain confused. She liked me? As in possibly falling for me?
"When I say 'like' Edward I mean, 'I'm falling for you'" Well that answers that!
"Bella, I like you the same way. It's crazy, I just met you yet I really don't want to let you go right now. The idea of kissing you is slowly taking over all my thoughts."
She then did the unexpected. She reached up and brought my face eye level to hers.
"We'll have to do something about that then won't we?" She whispered as our faces inched closer and closer.

Our lips were millimeters apart and I could already feel my knees go week. I can't believe one man can have such an effect on a 23 year old. If I had known this was the outcome of poking him I would have to poke him more often. Maybe even a tickle or two here and there, who knows what we would do if I tried anything else.
Our lips touched and that was all the encouragement I needed to snake my arms around his neck and twine my fingers in his hair.
He tasted like cinnamon and another unique taste that I'm pretty sure was only found in him. His hands were dancing over my back and occasionally would brush my face. The sensation was almost as wonderful as his kiss. As the need for air became more prominent the kiss slowed to a few pecks then ended all together. I rested my head on his chest while I sucked in air like a vacuum. His arms were still wrapped tightly around me and I felt the need to have these moments every day.
This was all wrong though. I couldn't be making out with Edward 2 hours after we've meet. I hardly know anything about him. He could have had 3 wives and killed them all just for their money, you just never know. I really need to figure him out before we ever kiss again.
"Edward." I looked up so I could see his face. His eyes had been dark green just moments ago and now they were a soft emerald.
"Yea Bella?"
"We can't kiss again. Well, not until I know you better, you could be a vampire for all I know." His face looked pained at first, so I add on the last bit to help him understand and lighten up the air. A small smile graced his lips before he spoke again.
"Okay, so I can't kiss you again until we get to know each other better?" I nodded in response. "Just how long will it take to make sure I'm not a vampire?" He questioned with a wry grin. I just rolled my eyes.
"A month at tops."
"Bella. A month? Are you serious? I can't kiss you for a month! How am I supposed to do that when I didn't even last two hours?"
"Believe me when I say, I know it's going to be hard."
"Alright then, we will just have to meet up every day and talk. Hand me your phone so we can exchange numbers." I handed him my phone and when he filled it out I called him so he would have my number.
"I'm sorry but I have to go. I promised my brother I would have lunch with him and his latest girl and I'm already late."
"That's alright; I actually have to meet my sister soon. She's been going out with some guy and we haven't talked in ages." He smiled and gave me a warm hug.
"Bye Bella." He whispered in my ear causing a shiver to run down my spine as he chuckled at my reaction.
"Bye Edward."
