Saturday

BPOV

When I woke up the next morning, Edward was gone. I looked at the clock on my bed side table, 8am. Too early. I groaned internally.

I'll admit that what I did last night was a bit... nasty and I was beginning to wonder what he would do to me in return. I knew him, and I knew there would be something he would do.

Sighing, I climbed out of the comfort of my warm bed into the chilly breeze that flooded my room. I picked up my phone that was vibrating next to my bed.

"Good morning Alice"

"Good morning Chickie" She sang into the phone "How did last night go?" She asked

Giggling, I said "Better than I thought. Let's just say he was really… excited"

"Well done, I told you it would work" She laughed "What is he doing now?"

"I don't know, he wasn't here when I woke up" I sighed

"Then why don't you spy on him?" She giggled

"Because… well… I don't know. Why would I?"

"To see what he is doing..." She said in a duh tone of voice

"I could just go over there… It's less creepy" I laughed

"But it's funner to spy" She countered. "Just go to the window and see what he is doing. Maybe he is having some… manly time to himself"

"Eww Ali, I don't wanna no if he is doing that" I gagged. Not that it is disgusting or anything. I know it's natural for guys to do that sort of stuff, but I didn't want to watch him do it.

"Fine. Whatever" She sighed "But still, have a look"

"Umm… I really do not see the point Alice, but fine" I replied, giving in.

"Yay" She squealed.

I laughed at my best friend as I peered out the curtain.

Edward was defiantly in there… In just a towel wrapped around his hips. His hair was wet and messy with water dripping from it. He had drops of water running down his toned torso.

"Well?" Alice asked

"Well what?'

"What is he doing?"

"Nothing, he is just standing in his room"

I watched as he walked around his bedroom, picking things up and putting them away. The light that lit his room was bouncing off the splashes of water dripping down his chest and from his hair.

"Well, that's not very entertaining" Alice said

"Huh?"

"I said that is not very entertaining. Are you not listening to me Bella?"

"No" I replied

"No, you're not listening to me?" I heard Alice say

"What? Yeah I'm listening"

"Then what did I just say?" She asked

"Umm, you asked me if I'm listening." I replied, making it sound more like a question

"No Bella. Before that" She said, sounding frustrated.

"I uh. Don't know"

"That's because you were not listening to me. What are you doing?" She asked

"Watching Edward, like you told me to" I admitted

"What's he doing?" She asked, sounding a little too eager

"He was walking around his room in with a towel on..." I sighed dreamily continuing to watch as Edward sat on the end of his bed and pulled out something that looked like weights

"Really?"

"Yeah Alice. Really... why are you so interested?"

"I'm not. I'm just bored"'

"Alice Brandon? Bored? No way" I said sarcastically

"What ever Bells"

"Oh my god" I whispered

"What? What is it?"

"Uhhh no-nothing" I stuttered

"Bull, tell me"

I ignored her for a minute as I watched Edward's muscles flex as he lifted the weights in the air and back down again, almost like he was bench pressing. Mine… All mine

"Alice… I gotta go" I said, then hung up before she could say anything.

I threw my phone on the bed, ignoring the vibration that came from it as I stepped outside. I had never seen him do that before… and being a female… I love muscles… its hot…

I stood, leaning against the railing and cocked my head to the side, waiting for him to notice me standing there.

After waiting 5 minutes and watching him exercise in his towel he finally noticed me.

Grinning he walked outside... still in his towel and raised his eyebrow at me.

"Enjoy the show?" He asked

"It should be illegal for men like you to look that sexy in a towel" I said, in what I hope was a sexy voice.

"I can take it off... if you want me to" He replied cockily, grabbing onto the towel and slightly pulled it down revealing his pelvic region.

My eyes trailed up and down his body.... Defiantly illegal I thought as I licked my lips.

"Should I take that as a yes?" Edward asked chuckling softly

"What? Ye...no...Yes...no I mean... no" YES!! TAKE IT OFF

"Are you sure" He laughed

"Yes, I am sure" I sighed not really... take it off... take it all off...

"Your loss" He replied smirking at me "So what are we doing today?"

"I umm don't no"

"Well, what would you like to do?"

What to do...what to do....

"I know!" I said excitedly "Let's go to the zoo"

"The zoo? You want to go to the zoo?"

"What's wrong with the zoo?" I pouted

"Nothing, I just didn't think you would want to go there... I don't no why... ...Anyway, let's get ready and leave. Meet you out the front of my house in 15?"

"Yeah sure. See you then" I gave him a smile before walking back inside.

I grabbed my towel and headed for the shower.

*****************

After showering I pulled on some comfortable pants, comfortable flat shoes and a black zip up jacket. I ran a brush through my hair and let it dry naturally, I didn't have enough time to blow dry it or anything. I applied a little bit of bronzer, light brown eye shadow and mascara before running down the stairs.

I ignored my mother as she yelled out to me when I ran past her and flew out the door. Edward was already waiting by his car for me.

"I'm not late" I puffed as I ran over to him

"I know I'm early" He laughed.

I rolled my eyes at him a pushed him playfully in the shoulder.

"Let's go" He said as he held my door open for me and helped me in.

I smiled at him as he closed the door once I was seated in his car. He ran over to the other side and climbed in then started the engine.

"To the zoo!" I yelled enthusiastically.

Edward chuckled at me as he pulled out of the drive way and headed down the road. The zoo was about an hour away.

EPOV

Bella started flicking through the songs on the cd I had in my stereo.

"OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG" She yelled as she turned it up.

I couldn't help but smile at the big grin on her face as she started singing and dancing in the seat next to me.

"Baby, show me, show me What's your favourite trick that you wanna use on me, And I'll volunteer, And I'll be flowing and going, Till clothing disappears, ain't nothing but shoes on me, Oh, baby"

She looked so happy and carefree.

"You're a good singer, you know" I said once the song finished

She blushed and said "No... No I am not"

"You're being too modest Bella"

She tilted her head to the side and looked at me thoughtfully for a moment "You're different" She stated

"Different how?" I replied.

"I don't no. Just something about you is different" She shrugged

"Ok... then"

What on earth could be different about me? Sure I had stopped my player ways and just stuck to one girl. Whom I really liked... but other than that I don't really see what's different about me.

The rest of the drive was silent, but comfortable. I was too consumed in driving, and trying to figure out exactly what Bella thought was different... But I came up with nothing.

****************

"I wanna go see the monkeys" Bella said excitedly as we walking into the zoo.

She had already taken 3 photos of her and me, a couple of the front of the zoo and then the picnic area we just walked past.

"You look like a tourist" I laughed

"Don't tease me" She said nudging my arm with her shoulder

"Fine. Let's go see the monkeys" I swung my arm around her shoulder and headed in the direction the sign that said 'monkeys' on pointed in.

"I love the zoo" She sighed beside me.

It was a nice zoo. It was nice and green, with lots of nice flowers. The birds singing in the trees, the grabble path's. It was clean. And peaceful.

"Aww look at that one Edward. Isn't he cute" she gushed as she snapped photos of the monkeys in the cage. They all the fucken same to me.

"Here, take a photo of me" She said as she pushed the camera in my hands and sat on the log fence around the monkey enclosure.

She smiled brightly and tilted her head slightly to the side as I took the photo. Beautiful...

"Where to next?" I asked as I took a random photo of her.

"Give me that" She took the camera out of my hands "I want to see the elephants"

"Elephants it is then, love" I said. Wait.. What? Love? Where did that come from? Oh crap, I hope she didn't notice. You do not LOVE Isabella Swan.

"WOW... it's so.... big" I heard her say as she looked at the elephants

"Now that is what I call an animal" I said.

"You like elephants?" She asked

"Well, yeah there big, and they can be funny..." I said trailing off.

"You seas to amaze me Mr. Cullen" She said as she hugged herself to my chest

Then I got back to thinking again... I couldn't possibly love Bella.. I mean, we haven't even been together all that long... Oh my god... NO

I started to feel a bit panicky as I realised what I had blocked out all these years... I never believed in love... because I never had Bella... I never stuck to one girl... because I never had Bella. Oh shit.

I must have put up some kind of shield or something.

Flashback

I walked up to Bella's room intent on telling her everything. I knocked on her door once and opened it. There had never been a reason to wait... and I didn't realise that now was the time to wait.

"Bella.. I need to tell you somet-" I stopped. And stared at her "I'm sorry" I whispered, hanging my head I started to walk out the door.

I heard a whole heap of muttering and whispering as I dashed down the stairs and out the front door.

How stupid could I have been to not notice that something was going on between her and Justin.

Seeing them in there just now... Everything went down the drain. The courage I had built to tell her I liked her. How was I ever going to talk to her again... or look her in the eyes without being reminded of what I had just seen. And even though it was innocent and they were only kissing... what could it have led to.

"Edward" I heard a whisper come from my door

I slowly turned around trying to hide the hurt in my eyes "Yes, Bella?" I asked

"I umm... Need you not to tell anyone about what you saw" She said, looking me in the eye

"Fine" I said. Not really wanting to talk to her right now.

"Thank you" She said before leaving.

End Flashback

Why did I block that out? I don't even remember doing it. That happened right before we started high school.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a loud scream.

When I turned around I threw my head back in a fit of laughter at what I saw in front of me.

Bella had climbed over the fence separating the guests from the animal's cage, probably to try and get a photo. When I looked at her an elephant was spraying her with water. She was standing there, water spraying over her looking similar to rain. Her hands held out and her eyes and mouth wide open in shock.

"Edward, don't laugh. It's not funny"

"Oh...HA...But it...HAHA...Is..HAHAHA"

"No it is not" She said as she walked over to me

"It was.. Admit it" I sighed once I calmed down

"No it wasn't" She hissed at me.

"Fine then, it wasn't" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Ok it was" She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest

"I always win" I said as I pulled her into a hug. Who gives a fuck if she is wet. She just looks hitter then before. "Bella?" I asked cautiously

"Yeah?"

"You know what I just remembered"

"What's that?" She asked, looking up at me

"Do you remember Justin?" I asked.

"No... Wait.. Yeah"

"Then you would remember the time I walked in on you and him.. Kissing"

"Yeah. That was embarrassing" She sighed

"Did you ever wonder why I came over?"

"Not really. I mean, you always use to come over so it wasn't anything unusual" She shrugged

"OK"

"Did you come over for a reason that day?" She asked looking up at me

"Let's go see the reptiles" I said, changing my mind about telling her

I grabbed into her hand and started walking in the opposite direction. Not really sure if it was the right way or not, and not really caring either.

"Edward, wait" She said as she pulled on my arm "What did you come over for that day?" She asked

"Nothing" I sighed as I turned around to face her.

"You're lying" She stated

"Can we just go see the reptiles please"

"Not until you tell me. Obviously it was important and I would like to no. Especially if it involved me"

"Fine, you stay here and I'll go to see the reptiles" I said as I starting walking in the direction I was originally heading in.

You're a chicken Edward. What have you got to be scared about?

I had gotten a whole of 5 feet away from Bella when I turned back around to face her. She was watching me expectantly.

"Fine" I sighed as I walked back over to her

"I went there to tell you that I liked you... Happy?"

Her eyebrows furrowed before she threw her arms around my neck

"Really?" She asked

"Yeah" I said, unsure of why she was hugging me. Not that I was complaining or anything.

She pulled away from me smiled, then started dragging me towards the reptiles.

Well that was weird.
