EdPOV

I stood there, stunned, watching Bella run out of the room. Before I knew it, I had a hold of James' jacket and was standing right in his face.

"What the HELL did you do?" I hissed at him.

"I didn't do anything, man. She was practically begging for me to kiss her" he told me.

"I don't know what planet you live on James but I am done with you!" I told him while shoving him with the hand that was holding his jacket. "You're fired!"

With that, I spun on my heels and jogged out of the room. I was looking up and down the hallways, looking for Bella. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. All hope that it was the person I was looking for faded away when I was looking into James' eyes instead.

"Dude, I can't believe that you would just throw away our friendship and work relationship for that slut. She isn't worth this. Come on. Come back inside, we'll talk things through and you'll see I'm right. Don't worry about the grabbing me thing my man, I forgive you" He gave me a smile.

The only thing I wanted to do was knock that smile clear off his smug little face and that's exactly what I did. I didn't think about it, I just did it. I reached back as far as my shoulder would permit and I swung with all my strength. One second, James was standing in front of me and the next second he was rolling around on the floor in front of me bleeding.

"MY NOSE!!! YOU BROKE MY NOSE!!" he screamed.

I stood right over him.

"If you EVER come near Bella again, I will do much worse than just break your nose. That's not a threat, it's a promise!" I hissed. With that being said, I turned and ran out of the building. I looked up and down the street to see if I could spot Bella anywhere. I didn't see her so I decided to walk in the direction of her apartment, just in case she was silly enough to walk home.

About four blocks up I spotted her and I ran to catch up with her.

"Bella!" I yelled.

She turned around to look at me over her shoulder and started to walk a little faster. She wasn't making much progress; it looked like her shoes were slowing her down. Another reason I would have to thank Alice for tomorrow when I saw her.

"Just go back to your party Edward. I'm sorry that I caused a scene and embarrassed you" she yelled over her shoulder. She must not have been paying attention to where she was going when she yelled at me because she stumbled. Luckily, she reached out and caught herself on the side of the building she was walking by.

"Ouch!" I heard her yell.

I ran over to her and helped her back upright. She was looking down at her hands, mumbling something that sounded like "leave it to me".

I looked at her hands that were held out in front of her and noticed she scrapped up both hands really bad and was bleeding.

"Come on" I told her while leading her by the arm. We found a pharmacy across the street and I told her to wait right outside on a bench. I ran inside and found the items I was looking for. I quickly paid and ran back out to her.

I knelt down in front of her and placed the bag on the bench right next to where she was sitting. I pulled out some peroxide and cleaned out her scraps. She flinched and looked away. I had to chuckle at the way she crinkled her nose. I then put some ointment on and then covered her palms with Band-Aids. I took both of her hands in mine, palms up and reached down and kissed both of her wrists. She looked down into my eyes and smiled. Our eyes stayed locked for what seemed like an hour. I saw her shiver.

"Edward, I'm really sorry for ruining your evening, I don't know what came over me. I mean he kissed me and I wanted so badly to hurt him but I didn't want to embarrass you in front of all of your friends, so I just ran." She was talking so fast. I put my hand up to her mouth to stop her.

I had to laugh. "What exactly did you want to do to him?" I asked.

"Well, kneeing him in the privates was on the top of my list" she laughed out.

I laughed with her. "First of all, I would have paid any amount of money to see you do that. Second, you didn't even come close to ruining my evening. I had such a good time with you tonight and I hope this evening doesn't jade your opinion of me."

"I could never think anything bad of you. We could go back and I can take care of James and you wouldn't even have to pay me" she giggled. I knew she would start to worry about getting me in trouble if I told her about what I did to James, so I just decided it was probably better to keep the fact that I broke his nose a secret.

I helped her to her feet, took off my jacket and helped her slip her arms into it.

"Come on, let's get you home" I looked at her and put my arms around her shoulders.

It was the most enjoyable walk I have ever been on. I don't think I have laughed so much in a long time. We talked about high school, friends, family. We tried out doing each other on funny stories. We stopped at a little cart and got some ice cream cones.

I asked her if she would be interested in going to brunch with Alice and her husband Jasper. She never really had officially met Jasper. She agreed.

The walk went unusually fast, too fast for my liking. I could talk to her all night but I noticed that she was cold.

"For the most part, I really did have a wonderful evening, the James incident aside." she told me.

"Me too and again, I am really sorry that that happened" I told her.

"It's not your fault" she told me.

Our eyes locked again. She looked like an angel standing in front of me dressed in white, bathed in the moonlight. I have never wanted anything more than I wanted to kiss her at that moment. Instead, I leaned in and kissed her on the check and bid her good night.

I turned around to walk away.

"Oh, Edward. Can you hang on a second? Wait right here" she told me. She opened her door and ran in. She came back a few minutes later holding an envelope. She handed it out to me and I reached out to take it. My fingers brushed against hers and the electricity was back.

"It's the pictures you asked for" she informed me.

I couldn't wait to look through them. "Thank you" I told her.

"Good night, Edward" she whispered.

"Good night, Bella" I whispered back.

Ok so what did you guys think? I know a lot of people are waiting for their first kiss and I promise it's coming soon :)

I did my part, so now it's time for you to do yours. Leave me your thoughts. Thanks.
