Hey guys! Btw, they are 24 yrs old and are in Forks. Thanks for favoriting me and putting me on story alert and commenting, you guys are awesome!
I got home from working at Alice's store at five and, to my slight dismay, Edward was already there. I hung up my jacket and sat down on the couch next to him; I figured that if the awkwardness had to happen sometime, it may have well be now.
"Edward, did Jasper tell you today about what we have to do at their wedding?" I looked at him.
"Yeah, he did." Silence.
Silence.
"Edward-"
"Do you want to practice?" He blurted out, and immediately blushed. I sat there, shocked. "Look, I'm sorry, I don't even know where that came from-"
Without hesitating, I grabbed his chin and kissed him. He put his hand in my hair, and I pulled away. Did I ever notice how deep his beautiful green eyes were? No. Did I ever notice that messy bronze hair inviting me to let my fingers dance through it? No. Should I suddenly feel this way towards my best friend? Hell, I don't know!
"Umm…sorry Edward." I blushed. Why did all this weird stuff have to be happening at once?
"No, it's okay, I mean, I asked."
My phone rings. I sigh, looking at the caller ID, it's Alice. As I flip it open, I hear him mumble, "Saved by the bell."
"Hello, Ali-"
"OH MY GOD! DID I JUST SEE THAT!"
"Alice, where are you?"
"Looking through the window on your front door. Did I just see what I think I saw?"
I hang up, and walk to open the door. "You hung up on me!" She says as she walks in. "Oh, hey, Edward. Sorry to interrupt your little make-out session, but-"
"It was NOT a make-out session!" Edward and I say at the same time.
"Oh, look, the happy little couple already knows what the other is going to say! Isn't that sweet?" Alice has a smirk on her face.
"We are not a couple!" Again with saying stuff together.
"Yeah, sure you aren't. Look, Jasper and I have decided to make you guys realize that you are MEANT for each other. Everyone sees it but you two." Knowing Alice, she is not about to give up on this.
Edward decides to speak up. "If I know Jasper, this wasn't his idea. He wouldn't do that kind of thing."
I am so confused. "How does everybody know that we're 'meant' for each other?"
"If I have to answer that, you are so totally SCREWED." And just like that, she walks out the door. I turn to Edward.
"Well, wanna give it a shot?" I ask.
"What can it hurt?" he shrugs. He walks toward me, taking my face in his hands. "What can it hurt?" He asks quietly.
I silently wonder why he wants to kiss me now, all of a sudden, and can't find a reason to care, or why I want to kiss him too. I nod, and we softly kiss.
This should be an interesting few months.
OK, I need some suggestions. I know my general direction, but I don't know what to do at this point? I tend to skip, so a little small idea here and there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
