I'm glad you guys liked the last chapter so much. I knew you would but Bella and Edward aren't out of the clear yet...
I do not own any of the Twilight characters
Edward slowly ran a finger down the side of my face sending a shiver up my spine. He smiled before starting a trail of kisses from up my neck stopping at the corner of my lips.
"Your teasing me now" I accused as he pulled away chuckling
"Well after months of torture I think you deserve it" he joked. I bit my lip looking up at his face
"I'm sorry" I whispered "for all that has happened, if I had known I…" I shook my head not knowing what I could possibly say to let him now how truly sorry I was.
"Stop apologizing" he frowned putting a finger against my lips to stop me from talking.
"If anybody should be sorry it's me, for suggesting our friendship to beging with" he said through clenched teeth, his eyes tightening and his shoulders stiffening.
"I thought I was absolutely insane for ever saying it in the first place. I would always ask myself am I strong enough? Do I have the power to hide how I really felt just to make you happy…" I shook my head pushing away his ginger before holding his face in my hands
"Edward if it wasn't for me we wouldn't have been friends in the first place, we wouldn't have wasted months of trying to hide what we both really felt. Being here right now I see that I was an idiot for ever letting you go in the first place"
He relaxed under my touch bringing his lips to mine. It was a short but sweet kiss, I was just happy to be back in Edward's arms again. Surprisingly no one has yet to discover us in his bed, not even Jacob but since it was already eleven thirty at night I highly doubted he would be showing up anytime soon. I wasn't even the least bit curious as to where he actually was.
The funny thing was I didn't feel at all guilty for what had happened between me and Edward tonight. I only felt like it was the right thing to do, there's only so much a person could go through before they finally crack and give into temptation, I was a perfect example of that.
"I want to give you something" he whispered into my ear before kissing it. I laughed as he got up from bed in only his boxers. He walked over to his desk and started to search through the drawers blindly. He must had found what he was looking for because not a minute later he was sitting down next to me pulling me up into a sitting position by the arm. I hugged the sheets tightly against myself, pushing back a few strands of hair behind my ear.
"What is it?" I asked as he smiled slyly still holding it behind his back.
"It's not something you haven't seen before; I just figured that it should be back with you"
I blushed already knowing what it was before he slid the promise ring back on my lonely finger. It caught the moons light through the window as he ran a finger over the smooth silver.
"It wouldn't look right on anyone else" he murmured bringing my hand up to his lips. The kiss tickled my skin and I started to laugh leaning over to kiss his cheek
"Thank you"
He smiled widely dropping my hand in his lap
"So Bella as I see it you have another thirty minutes before your birthday is officially over, is there anything else you want to do?" I turned away from him to stare at the clock on his desk. Shrugging I faced him again
"I can think of a few things" I smirked bringing him back down on the bed with me.
"Where were you last night?!" Alice screeched already bombarding me before I even got the door closed.
"I was out" I shot back sitting down at the end of my bed, kicking off my shoes
"Were you with Jacob?" I smiled; I was torturing Alice and it was fun to watch.
"How could you! To just leave us to celebrate your birthday without the birthday girl!" she groaned "God you are so insensitive, and to ditch us for Jacob, you've got some nerve!" she yelled pointing a shaky finger in my face. That got me into a round of hysterical laughter which only got her angrier.
"Bella if you were my friend you would at least tell me what happened last night!" she was still yelling, her voice getting louder in pitch. I stopped my laughing enough to answer.
"I let Fate happen" I replied simply. She quirked up her eyebrows for a second in confusion but they lowered themselves back down with remembrance. She let out another scream but it wasn't one of anger but happiness. She lunged at me bringing me down on the bed laughing now too.
"You and Edward?" she asked breathless as she rolled off of me too jumpy to even sit for a minute. I nodded allowing the blush to redden my cheeks.
"I knew it would happen, I jut knew it!"
"I'll never bet against you again" I sighed smiling as I remembered the best birthday in history.
"I have to go tell Rosalie!" she was back to yelling as she collided herself with the door in her fit of excitement.
She quickly shook off the pain her head should have felt and went running out into the hall yelling Rose's name the whole time. I buried my face into the pillow, my mind only on Edward. I didn't have class until this afternoon which was a good thing because my heart needed time to calm down since it had been beating rapidly after Edwards goodbye kiss.
I could hear the screaming from across the hall and I laughed to myself, they were both ridiculous and overreacting about the whole thing but then again if I was in either of their shoes I would too. Not only was it painful for me or Edward to be around one another during our 'friendship days' but I'm sure it was just as aggravating for the rest of them. They all knew it before I did, they all knew we would be back together, I whished I had just realized it sooner. Rosalie came running into my room then jumping on my bed
"You have to tell us everything" she squealed
"Ew gross" I gagged. Both Rosalie and Alice rolled their eyes
"Not that but what did you say to him?"
"Oh" I laughed feeling a little ridiculous.
Over the next five minutes I explained everything that had happened, repeated every word out of our mouths and then showed them the ring that was still on my finger. By the time I was done both Alice and Rosalie had smiles on their faces, extremely happy for not only me but Edward too.
"Took you long enough" Rosalie smirked
"Yeah but what do we do with Tanya?" Alice asked sighing. I had totally forgotten about her but I was more than happy to imagine the look on her face when she found out.
"Who cares? Edward never liked her in the first place" Rosalie snorted folding her perfectly manicured nails in her lap.
"True, although it was pretty funny watching him trying to make you jealous Bella" I smiled, glad that he was only pretending to be interested in her.
"Now get ready I'm starving" Alice said hopping off the bed.
Her and Rosalie left me alone to get ready while they went and got the guys. I could not wipe the grin off my face even when I was walking into the cafeteria. I just felt so carefree now, like nothing could touch me, nothing could bring me down or hurt me.
I walked up to the table everyone else was already sitting at and pulled up a seat next to Edward. He tore his eyes away from a sheet of compositions to give me a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Hi" I said breathless already from that one simple kiss. He chuckled and brought his lips to my forehead. I could hear Alice squealing form across the table and I pulled away blushing.
"Aw Bell and Edward together again, you guys are really cute together" Emmett laughed from next to Alice, pretending to gush. I rolled my eyes finding Edward's hand under the table and giving it a tight squeeze
"Emmett shut up" Alice snapped.
Edward smirked turning to me to say something when his eyes caught somebody from behind my shoulder. He dropped my hand and I raised an eyebrow turning myself around to see what had gotten him to act in that way.
It was Jacob, who had spotted me and was now walking over to our table. I smiled up at him stifling a gasp when he kissed me lightly on the lips. I pulled back cutting the kiss short but he didn't seem to notice. He sat down next to me and I looked over at Alice out of the corner of my eye, silently pleading for her to help me. She nodded and then I saw her hand shoot out towards Emmett where it connected with his cup of juice. It spilled all over the table, making a puddle on the ground
"Oops" she shrugged, I bit back my smile as Emmett groaned moving his homework out of the way before it was ruined
"Jacob would you mind grabbing me some napkins?" she batted her eyelashes and he shrugged
"Sure I'll be right back" he pushed back his chair and when he was far enough away I turned to Edward
"Sorry" I said helplessly
He smiled pushing a strand of hair behind my shoulder "Don't be sorry, I know you haven't told him yet" before I could even think about getting lost in his eyes I turned back to Alice
"What do I do?"
"Talk to him" she hissed
"Easier said then done" I mumbled before standing up myself to go and look for Jacob. He was by the lunch line grabbing as many flimsy napkins as possible
"Jake can I talk to you for a second?" I asked coming up behind him. He turned around and I grabbed the napkins from his hand setting them back down on the counter.
"Sure…" he said slowly, I could see why those exactly weren't good words. Every relationship always ended after a 'can we talk?'.
