Oh, shit. I was in for some big problems. I closed my eyes, hoping that if I closed them tight enough, the Greek god would disappear. But, much to my dismay, when I opened my eyes again, I was met by a pair of green orbs staring intently at me. I stared, and stared… and stared. I swore you could get lost in those beautiful green eyes, and never find a way out. I started getting nervous, my mind working 100 miles an hour. What if he wants me to go? Should I? Will he make me feel even worse about myself if I stay?
"I-I should go," I stammered.
"No! Please, could we please speak, for a second?" he gave me this look, that only a cold-hearted person would resist.
"Sure," I said, and then sighed. I did not know what it was he wanted to say to me, but I knew it was nothing pretty.
"Why?" he asked. I honestly did not know what he was saying, so I spoke my thoughts aloud.
"I-I don't get what you are saying," I told him. He sighed in exasperation and ran a hand through his hair.
"Why did you kiss the Shawn guy?" he asked. I flinched at the sound of his name, and fear filled me inside.

"Why did you kiss the Shawn guy?" I asked. She visibly flinched at the sound of his name. What was that about? I remember Alice saying Bella had said Shawn was dangerous, but, I looked deeply in Bella's eyes, and saw fear. Something was not right, I knew as far.
"What is wrong?" I asked her. Her eyes widened, and she shook her head franticly.
"I-it's nothing, Edward," she said. Sad thing was, I still got butterflies in the stomach when she said my name. Sad, I say, again. It did not sound like nothing, but I let it go, seeing as Bella did not want to talk about it any further.
"So… what are you doing here, alone?" I asked her.
"I just, uh, needed some time to think, I kind of have been on house arrest," she laughed humorlessly.
"Why?" Why would she be on house arrest?
"Um, well, you see, we had a little problem, a few weeks ago, so Emmett won't let me leave the house without him," she said. Wait a second, why would Emmett not, let her?
"What was the problem?" I asked. She got this panicked look, and I knew what the whole problem was.
"Does it have anything to do with the bruise you got on your cheek?" I asked her. She looked down, as if she was afraid to meet my eyes. So it was the problem.
"Bella, who did that to you?" I asked her sternly. She shook her head, and when she looked up she was about to cry.
"E-Edward, I need you to know something," she told me. That brought my mind back on track.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Shawn was my ex-boyfriend, back in Virginia. I thought I loved him once, but really didn't. I am sorry but that is as far as you can know about my problem," she said. I was dumbstruck, that kid was Bella's ex? It filled me with a great amount of jealousy, but when I looked at Bella scooting closer to me, it vanished.
"I-I also have other thing to tell you," she stammered. God, she looked so cute when she was nervous.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"The other reason why I did not kiss Shawn; was because I love somebody else," she whispered. Rage filled me; she loved somebody else.
"Who?" I squeaked out. She fiddled with her fingers, then looked at me straight in the eye, and said:
"You,"… now I was dumbstruck again. She loved me? Since when? How? I just stared at her, wondering what on God's name I did to be loved by this angel.
"You do?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I do. A-And I understand if you don't feel the same way-" but before she could finish the sentence, I crushed my lips to hers. We kissed, our tongues fought for dominance, I was in heaven, and I was also floating on cloud 9. I pulled back to breathe, and Bella's scent filled my nostrils quickly; Strawberries.
"I love you," I said to her breathlessly.
"I love you too," she said, and pecked me in the lips before snuggling to my side.
So, I know it is a very short chapter, but, honest to God I had no clue what to do next. So... instead of doing this chapter long, I will make chapter 9 faster! Yey for me! Anyhow, please, let me know if you liked it! Review!!!
