Here it is... the next chapter!

I sat in silence next to him. What had just happened? I come home from work with Alice, and a half an hour later, I am going out with my best friend. What a day! I might as well call the little pixie and tell her that she got her wish. I mean, Edward and I are just doing this to make her happy...aren't we? Hell, I'm not sure I even know anymore. I dial the number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Ali, I've got something to tell you..." Just then Edward motions to put it on speaker. 'Why?' I mouth. 'Fake excitement' he mouthes back.

"Bella? Hello, if you have something to tell me, I suggest you do it already..."

Edward holds up three fingers, then two, and one...

"WE ARE GOING OUT WITH EACH OTHER!" We say simultainiously.

"Oh, I just knew you two would hit it off eventually! We are SO having a triple date together!"

"Um, Alice?" Edward asks. "Don't you mean double?"

"No, Emmett and his little new girlfriend are gonna come with."

Edward groans. "He has ANOTHER girlfriend? Well, thank god I moved out! Now I won't have to hear what goes on in his room every freaking night!"

I giggle. "You mean...?"

"Oh, come on Bells, you know exactly what I mean."

Oh my!" I exclaim, and laugh. Edward joins me.

"Um, hello, guys? Still here! And anyway, Edward, this one must be special. She is one that will not 'be' with him until they are married, from what I hear."

"Really?" I'm shocked. " And Emmett's still with her? Damn!"

"Yeah, we're gonna have fun tormenting him about this!" Edward exclaims.

"Don't you know it!" Alice laughs. "Well, I gotta go guys, Jasper needs me."

Edward smirks. "Come on, Ali, say it. We all know what he 'needs' you for anyways." I burst out laughing, and Alice matches Edward with her words, leaving him shocked.

Alice is unfazed. "Okay, Jasper and I are gonna go have sex now, bye!" She hangs up, and I laugh even harder. He joins me.

"Bella...we...need to...calm...down!" We stop laughing, look at each other, and start right up again.

When we finally regained control of ourselves, we went on the couch and started watching a movie called 'Twilight'. Neither of us had any idea what it was about, but as soon as we saw the onscreen Bella and Edward making out on the bed, Edward paused it and looked at me. He chuckled nervously. "Um, it seems that even Summit Entertainment wants us to be together."

"Yeah, I guess so." I reply. And, just like the scene we had paused, Edward slowly leaned and kissed me. But this time, it didn't seem awkward, it just seemed...right. I entangled my fingers in his perfect hair and he put his hands on my hips. He picked me up bridal style and, never breaking the kiss, carried me to my bedroom. As he pulled his shirt off, my mind came back to me and remembered the abstinence until marriage promise I had made to my late mother, and stopped him.

"Edward...stop." I panted. Oh, how I would regret this later.

"Oh, yeah, sorry." He backed away, putting his shirt back on. "I guess it would be too awkward considering the first time we saw each other...in that form." He started to walk out of the room.

"Edward, it's not that, I do really want to, trust me, it's just that...well, you remember the promise I made to my mom..." My voice cracked on that last word.

He turned to face me, realization crossing his face. "Oh, Bella, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot." He walked over to me and held me in his arms. At that moment, I finally realized that what my friends 'saw' with me and Edward was completely true. I had known him forever, we had always been there for each other. I chuckled quietly amidst myself, within my small tears.

"What is it?" He asked quietly.

"We really are a perfect match, aren't we?" I looked up at him as he held me, tear-stained cheeks and all.

He chuckled. "Yeah, I guess so." He replied, repeating the words I had uttered not thirty minutes ago.

I laughed a little louder. "And to think, that this all started a day after seeing each other nude, bringing us closer than ever before."

He laughed. "Yeah..." he wiped the tears out of my eyes with his thumb. "Do you know how long I've waited just to hold you in my arms like this?" He mumbled.

"I don't know, but it sure is nice. I don't think I ever want to move from this spot." I replied, laying my head on his chest.

"No one's asking you to." Edward whispered, kissing my hair. He carried me into the living room and turned off the television, then carried me back to the bed. He laid me down and went to leave towards his room.

"Edward?" I said quietly.

He turned around. "Yes love?" Oh man, I like the sound of that.

"Could you stay in here? Please?" I said. "I...I don't want you to leave me." I added even more quietly.

"I thought you'd never ask." He removed his shirt and laid down next to me, pulling the sheets on top of us. I moved to lay my head, once again, on his perfect chest, and he wrapped his arms around me, securing me there. We fell asleep this way, never waking up once in the middle of the night, which is very rare for me. The last thought that ran through my head was, 'I could get used to this. This is the beginning of the best days of my life, I just know it.

Well, there you have it. I really hope you like this chapter, it took me FOREVER to write. But it got easier, because I'm all for the Edward and Bella fluff.
