Chapter Four

I could feel Alice rolling her eyes. Then I heard footsteps and she whispered, "I'm on my way." I nodded and snapped the phone shut again. I waited for a minute before I heard a scream.

I yelped, recognizing the voice. Shit. What the hell happened to Alice?

"Mom, don't --,"

My eyes widened and before I knew it, the door happened and the person who opened it wasn't Alice.

Shit.

"Um," I managed to mutter. The person standing in front of me with the glass back door opened so wide. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I saw that it wasn't Emmett or even better, Edward. Instead it was a woman with caramel-colored hair and a heart-shaped face. She was beautiful though and her eyes were the same piercing emerald orbs.

I didn't notice that I was gaping at her when she raised an eyebrow. I blushed and saw Alice behind her with panicked eyes.

"Um, hello dear." The woman greeted, still confused.

"Mom," Alice hissed. My eyes widened when I realized that her eyes were the same as Edward's. "I really think we should take this inside. In my room."

Alice's mother nodded and took a step backward to let me in. Alice quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me to the corner part of the. . . kitchen, I think.

"Alice what are you --?" I tried to ask but she covered her hand against my mouth, preventing me from saying something. She looked back at her mom, who was still confused but at least she wasn't angry.

"Mom. . .," Alice tried to say. "Could you distract Emmett and Edward for a moment? I mean, I'm going to explain this after me and my friend are already inside my room." She looked at her with pleading eyes.

Her mother nodded but there was still anxiety in her expression. "Okay, but you really indeed need an explanation Mary Alice." Then, her mother, stalked off and went to the living room.

Alice sighed in relief. I pulled her hand away from my mouth and tried to protest but she was already dragging across the kitchen where a door stands. Alice opened it and ushered me to go inside. I noticed that there was a staircase leading to the second floor of the mansion. She flickered the lights on when we were inside and told me to quickly go upstairs.

"Ugh," I groaned when we reached the second floor. "Shit, Alice. We almost go caught!" I tried to keep my voice steady in case some one might heard me.

"Almost, Bella." Alice clarified, leading me to the end of the hallway. I noticed that there hallway was, of course, large and the walls were covered in large painting of people. I mean, who hangs paintings who aren't even them?

The hallway was elegant, the size of it was large and there are a few furnitures against the walls. Whoa. They are totally loaded.

"Whoa, Al." I managed to whisper.

Alice snorted. "I know, Bells," Then she giggled as if I had said something hilarious. I just rolled my eyes and let her drag me to her room.

I was still in awe of this place. It's like – living in a castle not a mansion! When I was a little girl, I would always say that when I grow up, I will live in a castle. Huh. What? I'm a kid! Then, I noticed a large mahogany door, which I thought her room was but when I almost stopped, thinking that Alice might stop too, Alice kept dragging me. What the hell? I noticed that at the end of the hall, it was divided into two, the east and the west. Oh Gosh, you gotta be kidding me!

"Alice, where the hell is your room?" I complained.

She sighed. "Sorry Bella. I wanted to have the good view in this house" -- house? Alice, gosh! This is a mansion for goodness sake! -- "and apparently the only good view here is at the east side."

A few seconds later, we finally went inside the room. I almost gasped in shock when I saw her room was all – pink. All different shades of pink and white. I wasn't surprised that the room was very big because it is. The bed was located at the side but it's facing the north instead of the west. A part of the wall was replaced by glass and there was a thin sheet of curtain there.

I gulped when I saw her mirror with a big box of make-ups and accessories. Please don't let her torture me!

I didn't notice that Alice was smiling. "So, what do you think?" She asked excitedly and I could see she was bouncing a little.

"Wow Alice. I didn't know you're obsess with pink." was all I could say.

Alice shrugged. "I know, my family complains about it. They think I'm suffering from pink addiction." She laughed and her voice sounded like bells.

Alice let me seat on her bed and I was surprised that the bed was really comfortable. We chatted for a little when I remembered something.

"Exactly, who were the people you just told that I live here in Forks?" I asked, crossing my arms.

Alice bit her lip and looked down, quite ashamed. Oh no. This can't be good. "Well, don't be mad at me, okay Bella? It's just. . . I kind of mentioned it in passing and. . . ,"

I stopped her. "Alice, I'm asking who are the people you told."

Alice sighed and shook her head. "I'm – I kind of told Emmett and Edward --."

I didn't fought the "monster" in me so I practically yelled, "You what?!" Before Alice could go explaining things to me, we heard a soft knock on the door.

"Alice, it's me honey." A soft melodic voice sounded muffled at the other side of the door. It was her mother.

"Come in Mom," Alice yelled and I cringed when her voice was so loud and I was only standing a few meters away from her.

The door opened and her mother appeared at the door, closing it behind her as she walked. She smiled when she saw me and I couldn't help but smile back. Mrs. Cullen sat at the bed too, only she was sitting at the opposite side of the bed.

Mrs. Cullen raised an eyebrow at her daughter.

"Mom, this is Bella Swan. She's – I mean, the gang's – friend." Alice said proudly at her mother. "It happens that she also lives here in Forks."

"Oh, really." Mrs. Cullen said, the smile was still on her face. "Oh, how rude of me. I'm Esme Cullen, dear. It's nice to meet you."

I blushed. I don't really do well in introductions. "Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Cullen. I'm sorry for barging outside the back door, I --,"

Esme held a hand up. "It's alright, dear. I've seen worst. And I'm not that really old so call me Esme."

I blushed again and looked down. "Esme,"

"Good," Esme said approvingly. "So, aren't you going to say something about this Mary Alice? That I need to distract your brothers?"

"It's just. . . Well, Bella doesn't really do well with Emmett and Edward. She's shy and she doesn't want them to know that she's here because, well you know," She rolled her eyes playfully as she waved her had in a gesture.

"If Bella's your friend and Emmettt and Edward's friend, why would you keep it a secret?"

"Ugh. It's nothing Mom." Alice said, lying. Esme gave up and sighed.

"Are you Charlie Swan's daughter, perhaps?" Esme asked her eyes widening a little at the realization.

"Yes, Mrs – Esme." I told her.

Esme smiled. "That's good. At least you have a friend with you here in Forks, Alice."

"Yes, Mom. I'm happy about it." She told her sincerely. Esme grinned this time.

"Well, it is a pleasure to see you Bella. I think you should have dinner with us before you guys go to Dartmouth so that we could get to know each other better. And you should meet my husband too." My eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no," I said, trying to convince her. "It's alright Mrs Cu – Esme. I would --,"

"Pish posh. It's alright Bella." Esme said and stood up from the bed.

"That would be great Bella!" Alice said, clapping her tiny hands as she grinned. Why was everyone against me today?

I blushed, knowing that I don't have any choice but to obey. "Okay." Esme waved a goodbye and went out of Alice's room.

I was glad that Esme didn't say a thing to Emmett and Edward of my being here. It would be just so embarrassing. Alice and I waited until Emmett and Edward were in their rooms so that I could get out of the house. Esme insisted that I should eat something but I politely declined her.

I reached the house, seeing Renesmee sitting at the porch reading a book. I hopped out of the truck, smirking.

"Since when do you read books?" I asked her. Renesmee groaned and shook her head.

"Jacob's trying to make me read this." She muttered, trying to focus on the book she was holding.

"And you just do what he says?" I replied, stepping on the porch. Thankfully, the front door was open and I stepped out.

"I was being a supportive girlfriend!" Renesmee exclaimed, following me inside. "And he's a supportive boyfriend too."

I rolled my eyes, mentally shuddering whenever Renesmee talks about her relationship with Jacob. Not that I have something against him, no. Because I know that Jake's going to be my brother-in-law. "Whatever, Ness." I told her, saying the nickname that Jake gave her.

She scowled and put the book on the couch before crossing her arms. "Ugh. Maybe you should go and hook up with somebody, sis. Or better yet, just freaking forgive the man that you fall in love with!" She saw the look in my face and went to another direction. "I mean, you're bored all the time, I think it's time you need spice in your life."

I snorted at her remark. "You have no business with my life."

"Oh, really? Then you don't have any business with my relationship with Jake also." She replied. Dang, sometimes Renesmee has a smart mouth.

I shook my head and put the truck's keys on the drawer. Renesmee went to her room, obviously reading the book that Jacob just gave to her.

Why would Renesmee cares that I need someone in my life? And managed to tell me that she wants Edward to be the one for me? Really, that is just beyond funny to think that Edward would even care for me.

Then something clicked.

The plane tickets.

Alice saying, "I'm – I kind of told Emmett and Edward --."

Shit.

The following days have passed and Rosalie managed to call me at some time. She was saying that she'd rather hang out here in boring old Forks than there in Rochester, New York with her family. We talked endless and I caught myself, knowing I wasn't one of the people who chat so animatedly – and so long – on th phone.

Jacob was at the house today and I made a mental note to myself that I should knock – or never barged – in Renesmee's room. I shuddered, remembering the incident that happen with Jacob.

I know that my sister had. . . Ugh, sex – It made me quite awkward since my little sister was the first one to lose her innocence. But thankfully, Renesmee doesn't show it. She knew what Renee will tell her with those kind of things.

Meanwhile, Alice called me yesterday and told me that Esme wanted to have dinner with me a few days after Christmas since they were very busy tonight.

I sighed, knowing that the Cullen family will be very busy. I breathed in relief when she assured me that Esme didnt' tell the Cullen boys about me dining with them but she did tell them that a friend would be here.

It's official – I love Esme Cullen.

It's the day before Christmas and I was sitting at my room, reading the worn-out pages of the books of Emily Bronte and Jane Austen since I regularly read them, it's like I have memorized all the things in the book.

I still couldn't get my mind off Edward. I know for sure that is Edward. I mean, who could be the one that really cares for me? I'm not saying that Edward cares but. . . I don't know. It confuses me and I wondered why the hell would he do that? Buy some very expensive plane tickets for a normal person like me.

He likes you, idiot! Can't you see!?

Apparently, my conscience has been lecturing me for days and nights whenever I thought about Edward and the plane tickets. I just couldn't believe that he would do that. After all the times I rejected him, told him to stay away from me and never talk to me; he just wouldn't follow me.

I was debating whether it's good or not.

I had arrive here in Forks on Monday and Alice managed me to go shopping the following day. I agreed with her since I haven't bought gifts for my family yet.

I bought Renesmee a new pair of Converse since her old ones were pretty dirty. I bought mom a cook book and my dad a new pair of shoes too. My family aren't that really rich but we wasted our money in holidays because it felt good giving something to someone.

The most surprising thing is that Alice actually paid half of the price for me. I argued with her in the Port Angeles mall but she told me that it was necessary. I know I won't win this fight so I let her but we made a deal that if she invites me to some dinner outside, I will be the one to pay.

I heard a knock on the door and I saw Renesmee. My eyes widened with shock when she sat at the foot of my bed, brining her knees to her chest.

"Since when do you knock?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes at her. Renesmee rolled her eyes and I sighed, because that kind of attitude of hers is so Renesmee.

"This is so damn boring," Renesmee muttered. "And it made it even more boring watching you reading some stupid books."

"They aren't stupid. If you just had time to read rather than to talk, you will know these books aren't stupid." I snapped at her and I caught myself that I don't really snap at people, well, sometimes with Renesmee. "Speaking of books, how's the book that Jacob gave you coming along?"

She shrugged. "Boring. He actually asked me that how is it coming and I have to lie to him!" She exclaimed dramatically.

I smirked. "Whatever. Okay, you're changing t he subject – why would you knock?"

"I don't know. Just checking if you have a boy in here too that I might not know?" She teased playfully and it's my time to roll my eyes.

"It wasn't my fault." Then I added, "And no – I don't have a boyfriend because I don't want to be sidetracked with my studies. And I think you should have done it too a long time ago – look what's happening right now. I saw your cards on the kitchen table. Gosh, Renesmee you have five F's! How's that even possible?"

She snorted. "If I didn't had a boyfriend then Jacob would settle on with some of those La Push bitches." She spat out the word.

"You mean Leah Clearwater?" I suggested.

Renesmee groaned. "Definitely Leah 'the bitch' Clearwater." She made her name dirty. I laughed, remembering the time that my sister fought for Jacob because of Leah. She definitely hates her guts. Leah's younger brother, Seth, seems okay though.

"Sheesh, did I hit a nerve?" I joked.

"Fuck you, Bella." Renesmee muttered with a hint of amusement on her voice.

"Well, fuck you too." I mumbled, catching Nessie off guard. I realized that I don't really curse words at her or my family.

"What's wrong with you Bella? Who are you and what did you to my innocent, virgin, miss goody two-shoes sister?"

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my pillow, throwing at her. She caught in and laughed. "Whatever. It's my turn to ask – since when do you curse?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it's because you're influencing me?"

Renesmee laughed. "Yeah, right." And with that, she finally left the room, leaving me peace and quiet.

T.B.T.

Christmas passed and tonight, I'm going to the Cullen house. I gulped – dining with them. I looked at the mirror and I was wearing a black coat that I received from Renee and a new pair of blue jeans. I was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, contrasting its color with the coat.

I have been reacting because I would be faced to face with Edward Cullen again and some part of me – and that's my conscience – wants to dress up and look good.

I was debating whether to tie my hair or let it loose.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. I looked over my shoulder and saw that it was Mom.

"Wow, honey." She breathed. "You look good."

I blushed, not appreciating the remark. I think the people around me are biased. "Thanks, Mom." I muttered.

She sighed and went to my side in an instant. "You're really sure that you're dining with the Cullens, honey?" Renee asked, the lines on her forehead showed that she was concern. She doesn't know my situation with the middle son of the Cullens but when she looks at my face – she knows that there's something going on. She told me that I was an open book because I was easy to read.

"Yeah, I'm definitely sure. I'm just nervous dining with high-class people." I told her and it wasn't even a lie.

She laughed. "That's what you get for having a really nice rich friend."

I rolled my eyes, smiling. I decided that I should tie my hair up, wanting myself to look clean with the Cullens.

I went downstairs, noticing Renesmee and Jacob at the couch, watching TV. When they saw me, both of their mouths fell open.

"What the heck?" Jacob said in shock.

"What the hell is happening to you Bella?" Renesmee demanded.

I rolled my eyes at them. "You guys are like girls." I told them, looking for the key to my – now, Renesmee's – truck.

"Where are you going anyway, Sissy B?" Jacob asked, his eyes went back to the TV.

"Not your business." I muttered but Renesmee was really an enemy here in my life.

"She's dining with the Cullens," She told him, grinning wickedly up at me. I had the urge to stuck my middle finger in front of her face.

Jacob laughed. "The Cullens? Whoa. Did Alice forced you or you're being introduced as the girlfriend of --," My eyes widened, remembering that Jacob is Edward's roommate and I doubt that he didn't hear us fighting when I told Edward that I had time.

"Shut up, Jacob." I hissed at him. He must have seen the look in my eyes and he quieted down.

Renesmee saw our exchange and looked at her boyfriend with a curious expression, and pleading I might add, on her face. "What is it Jake? Girlfriend of whom?"

Jacob was struggling, I could see it. "You know I love you, Ness but I need to keep this a secret. I swore." Swore? What does he mean?

Then Renesmee turned to glare at me. "Why the hell would you just threaten my boyfriend?"

I laughed. "I didn't. Maybe someone did." And I already knew who it was.

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever. Just get the hell out of the house and go celebrate with your Cullens," She muttered. I chuckled again, calling a good bye for my Mom and Dad to hear.

I went to the truck and drove to the Cullen house. The sun was setting and I have to hurry up so that the night wouldn't catch me. Luckily, I was already there in ten minutes, parking at the same spot I did when I went their for the first time.

I hopped out of the truck and went to the front door. I gaped at the scene before me. The mansion was indeed breathtaking at night. The lights were open, making the house look elegant and at the same time, modern. When I finally controlled myself, I went up to the porch and pressed the door bell. I fidgeted with the pocket of my coat, looking down at my feet, slightly nervous. I prayed that Alice should be the one to open the door but. . . Shit, I was wrong.

There stood the most beautiful man I've ever seen. His hair was disheveled, looking like he just gone out of bed. His eyes were a penetrating deep green that almost made me faint. It's like I'm standing in front of Michael Angelo's creations.

His lips were in an 'O' shape and his eyes widened and I knew that he wasn't expecting me. I glanced down nervously at my feet, blushing. My heart was beating rapidly at my chest and I could not slow it down.

"Bella?" Edward gasped and I felt my heart broke because I miss him saying my name. Okay, I just sounded like a creep.

I took a deep breath and looked at him straight in the eye. "Good evening to you too, Edward." I kept my voice casual, not wanting it to shake or something.

He just stood there, still shocked. I looked away, feeling uncomfortable that his gaze was on my face.

"Bella!" I heard Alice yell from the house. Edward's face broke into something that I can't measure and he stepped backward, giving me room to go in. I frowned a little because he wasn't the one saying to invite me in instead it was Alice.

Gosh, does Edward hate me? Could the reason that he hate me is because he thought I still hate him, that I didn't use the plane tickets then showed up at his family's doorsteps? Without even his own sister or mother telling him? Yeah, I guess he is.

I stepped inside, mumbling, "Edward," in greeting with a nod. I heard a gasp and I saw Emmett sitting at the couch with eyes wide open.

"Shit, B!" Emmett exclaimed and before I could react, he scooped me up in a tight hug, lifting me off the floor for about a feet. "Fuck – you're the friend?" I stared at him in warning. Emmett already knew that face because I often give it to him whenever I have been struggling to breathe because of his tight, muscular arms.

"Emmett McCarty Cullen," I heard Esme's voice say. "Mind your language with our guest."

Emmett chuckled and set me on the floor. I heard Alice giggle and I sighed in relief, running a hand through my hair.

Edward was sulking in the corner, looking away from me. I sighed once more and looked at the ground, shifting uncomfortably.

"Bella," Esme said in a very polite tone. She came up to me and held my hand. I saw a blond man, probably in his late thirties or early forties, behind her. He had blue eyes, the same one as Emmett's. I guess this is the infamous Carlisle Cullen. I relaxed a little when he was smiling warmly at me. I can't help but smile back at him too.

I greeted Esme and turn back to Carlisle. I bit my lip as I introduced myself and let out my hand so that he could shake it. He took it and shook my hand while he told me that he's finally delighted to see me.

We talked for a moment before a maid, probably the head maid of the mansion, announced that dinner is ready.

I gaped at the dining table. It was set up in a Christmas-y way with white, red, green and gold accessories attached to it. The table wasn't that really long but about six people could sit there. I heard Emmett chuckle beside me. Alice told me that I should sit right next to her but Esme scolded her by telling that I should pick on my own since I was their guest.

Carlisle agreed, leaving Alice pouting. But I do want to sit with Alice since she brings me comfort. Hell, she's the only Cullen who understands me.

Carlisle took a seat at the head while Esme on his right side. Alice sat on Carlisle's left while Edward sat on Esme's right, making him across from me. Emmett took a seat next to his brother.

We ate for a while before Carlisle started talking.

"So, Bella," He started and my head snap at the direction where his voice came. "I heard that you're Chief Swan's daughter."

I nodded. "Yes, sir."

"Do you have any siblings?" He continued to ask. I was okay with his questions since I trust him. Hell, he is a doctor. Who wouldn't trust him?

"Yes, I have. A sister. Her name is Renesmee." I told them.

"Renesmee?" Esme asked, quite confuse. "That's a unique name."

I chuckled. "Indeed. I think my Mom was drunk when she named her. She hates her name thought but loves her second."

They all laughed at that, even Edward but he was only chuckling. Huh.

"How old is she, anyway, dear?" Esme asked, taking a bite from her food.

"She's eighteen. Only a year younger than me." I murmured.

Carlisle and Esme nodded.

"Ooohhh, Bella," Alice suddenly crooned from out of the blue. "I have a surprise for you later, you don't mind?" From the corner of my eye, I saw Edward shoot a glance at her.

I do mind Alice! "Surprise?" I asked weakly, wavering a little. Doesn't Alice know me at all? I fucking hate surprises!

Alice grinned cheekily. "Yup," She told me excitedly. I didn't notice that I swallowed and Emmett started laughing hard.

"Emmett," Esme scolded once more. "One more disobedience and I will take out your Xbox to the garbage." She threatened. Emmett stilled and tried to regain his composure while trying not to laugh.

Then out of the blue, "It's okay Mrs. Culle – Esme. Emmett couldn't help it – it's his second nature." Then all of them started laughing again.

"Dang, why did you suddenly turn into a jokester, Swan?" Emmett asked, still chuckling.

I shrugged and smiled at him. I noticed Edward still being quiet and I realized that he kept shooting glances at me.

Esme noticed Edward's eerie silence. "Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling okay? Is the food not to your liking? I could tell Miss Cope to replace it --"

"No, it's okay Mom. I'm just. . . not in the mood." Edward assured her. Esme wasn't convinced but didn't fought to push it further. He's not in the mood because I'm here. I looked at Edward, who was still staring at his plate. Then his eyes tore away from the plate and suddenly saw mine.

I felt the tension between it and it made me sweat from nervousness. I didn't know how long we stared but I was praying that his family wouldn't notice.

Edward finally looked away, breaking the contact. What the hell was that?

After eating, we went back to the living room and talk. The fire was lighted on the fireplace and the six of us were sitting comfortably at the couch.

Then Alice jumped off the couch and went upstairs in blinding speed. Seriously, does this girl even breathe or take things slow?

Esme and I talked for a moment before I saw Alice at the stairs with three wrapped-up boxes on her hands. I breathed out a sigh of relief, thanking that the surprise wasn't that really big.

My mouth fell open when Alice set it on my lap.

"Alice, you shouldn't have --"

"Oh, but I want too. Stop being stubborn Bella. These are your gifts. One from me, Emmett and Edward," She announced proudly. "And don't worry. Our friends in Dartmouth, including Jasper and Rosalie, have presents upstairs too. We'll give it to them when we come to New Hampshire again." She added.

I nodded and I gulped, taking in all of the presents. I felt a pang of guilty inside me. I didn't even give them presents.

I swallowed the lump on my throat. "Really, guys. Thank you so much. I wish I could give you guys --"

It was Emmett's turn to interrupt. "Oh, don't worry B. Everything's alright with us. Besides, what could we possibly want more?"

Alice sat right next to me. "Uh, a pair of new shoes?"

Edward rolled his eyes, finally doing something for the first time while Carlisle snorted.

"Yeah, right Al," Edward said. "You have more pairs of shoes than Paris Hilton."

Alice ignored the remark but looked at me. "Seriously Bella. It's alright!" Then she gave me a hug. Sometimes I wonder if Alice has some "problems". Because damn, her hug is more creepier than Emmett's.

When I noticed that it was almost ten o'clock, I told them that I should be going. They agreed and they led me out of the house. I had my three presents under my shoulder.

"Are you sure that you'll be okay riding to home, Bella?" Esme asked concernedly as Carlisle wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder.

I nodded. "Yes, I'm going to be alright Esme."

"Maybe Alice or Emmett or Edward should come with you --"

"No, really. It's okay." I tried to tell her.

"But I insist." She replied and I wanted to smack myself mentally. "Alice, do you mind though?"

Alice shook her head. "I don't mind and I don't think Emmett minds either. Or even Edward."

Emmett chuckled. "Yeah. Edward should drive his car to follow Bella if she's alright. I mean, Edward didn't even do something this evening for Bella – why won't you do it?"

My eyes widened and I wanted to scream in protest.

Edward glared at his brother. "I did something for Bella this evening Emmett. I answered the door for her."

"Nu-uh! You don't even know that it was her." Emmett replied and this time, I wanted to slap Emmett.

"It's still the same Emmett." Edward snapped.

"Alright," Carlisle said in a serious tone. "Edward should see if Bella's going to be okay."

I think I just died. I could see from the corner of my eye, Alice grinning from ear to ear. Oh, they have planned this all along.

Edward didn't argue with his parents and just nodded. He went back to the house and a few minutes later, the huge garage of the mansion opened and a silver Volvo went out.

I told them goodbye as I went inside my truck, putting the presents on the passenger seat. Oh, this is embarrassing. I gunned the engine and drove. I could see the headlights of the Volvo just behind my – Renesmee's – truck.

Beads of sweat were pouring from my skin and I had the need to wipe it. Shit, this is Christmas, why am I sweating?

When in front of the house, I parked the truck. I quickly hopped out of it before Edward tried to drive away again.

"Wait!" I called and I knew he could hear me from the inside of his car. His window rolled open and I was struck my his natural beauty. It took me a few seconds before composing myself.

"Can I talk to you again?" I blurted out. "I mean, can you meet me at the park?" I told him the address and he nodded. I also told him the time which is two in the afternoon.

I needed to talk to him about something. No, it's not just a something – it's about. . . Well, us. I'm not saying we don't have a relationship because we're not.

Ugh. I just need to.

"Sure, Bella." Edward murmured, and he had the guts to have eye contact with me.

"Thank you Edward." I told him and turn my back on him. Then I forgot something. I turned around again, only to find him still staring at me. "Oh and belated Merry Christmas. Goodnight as well."

And for the first time, Edward smiled warmly at me. "Goodnight too Bella. I hope you will enjoy your presents."

I blushed, nodding before waving when he drove away. Okay, I think I'm back in high school again, blushing like a freshman who was greeted by her crush.

I pulled the keys of the house from my pocket, the presents on my hand and went inside. The house was already dark and the people here are already asleep.

I didn't even turn the lights on when I went to my room, placing the gifts on the desk and unbuttoning my jeans, taking my coat and shirt as well. I pulled my pajamas from my closet and plopped down on the bed.

And man, I had a dream about Edward Cullen.
