"That," Edward scooped up a spoonful of ice-cream from the carton. "That look on Tanya's face. Was priceless." he spooned it into Bella's mouth.

Bella nodded in agreement and squirted some chocolate sauce into Edward's. "I wish I had taken a photo. We could've sent it into Gossip Girl. She loves that sort of stuff."

She sure does. But never you mind Bella. I snapped a few shots of my own.

She started to lick the spoon. "And now," she half squealed. "Tanya's gone! And we can become public once more!"

"Yeah, about that I-"

Bella threw herself across the couch they were sitting on and onto Edward's lap. "I'm so happy. I love you." and she kissed him.

Mmmm, Chocolate ice-cream flavoured Edward kisses. Can I share?

Edward kissed back for a few minutes but then pushed her away gently. "Listen, Bella. I think...maybe we should wait a while to tell everyone about...us. I mean, not that I don't want everyone to know how much I love you. It's just..."

"You made a bet with Emmett again didn't you?"

His eyes widened in surprise. "Pfff! No! What gave you that idea?"

Bella rolled her eyes. "You're always making bets with him. Remember when we were seven? The time he said you were a wimp for not riding your bike down that huge hill really fast? He bet you his favourite batman toy that you couldn't do it in less than fifteen seconds...."

"And I did!" Edward shouted triumphantly. Then he lowered his voice to a mutter. "Edward Cullen is not a wimp."

"You did." Bella agreed. "You also broke your arm in four places and had to sit on the side of the pool all summer."

Edward grinned and shrugged. "It wasn't so bad. A certain hot brunette in a Barbie bikini sat with me."

Bella kissed his nose. "We had a killer sunburn after a few days."

"Sunscreen is so overrated."

Bella giggled. "Ok. Now stop trying to change the subject. What was the bet this time?"

Edward sighed in defeat. "Ok, ok. He bet me one hundred dollars that I wouldn't be able to stop myself going out with you after I broke up with Tanya. For a whole week."

Bella groaned. "Seriously?" She flipped over so she was lying on her back. "That kind of really sucks."

Edward started to play with a strand of her hair. "It's just a week. Then we can become the most PDAish couple in the whole of Forks High."

"But...Until then you're publicly single! Girls are going to make moves on you!"

"And my incredibly protective best friend is going to be there to fend them off."

"I wonder if it's still illegal to behead sluts...." Bella mused thoughtfully.

Edward shrugged. "I wouldn't hold it against you."

Bella flipped over again so that her body was now pressed to his. "I've changed my mind. This is going to be fun. Sneaking around. Our love not being allowed. Like Romeo and Juliet!"

"Except, with more hot make-out sessions in school broom cupboards and less serenading from balconies and stuff."

"Awww! But you'd be so cute serenading me from my bedroom window!" she pinched his cheek. "I do like the sound of the broom cupboard action though."

Edward chuckled and pulled her face slowly towards his. "Why wait for a broom cupboard?"

"Mmmm..."

"Edward! I'm home." Alice called as she came through the door.

They both gasped and Bella rolled off Edward and onto the floor in surprise. The tub of ice-cream coming with her.

"You'll never guess what Jasper did for m-...Um...." Alice giggled. "Are you ok Bella? You have ice-cream in your hair."

Bella reached up and pulled the tub off her head. "Uh, we had a food fight?"

Alice nodded. "Right. Edward, you have lipgloss smeared all over your face."

Edward shot Bella a panicked look and tried to wipe it off. "Bella wanted to play dress ups?"

Alice tilted her head to the side. "Before I came in...were you two....Did I interrupt something?"

"No!" They both yelled.

"What are you on, Alice?"

"Yeah, you know we're just friends!"

Edward nodded fiercely. "Friends and only friends."

"We don't plan on making out in broom cupboards either!" Bella blurted out.

Edward stood up. "Shall we go to your house now Bella?"

Bella nodded and glared at Alice. "I think so. Now that someone is making such totally unjustified accusations!" They both half ran to the door.

Alice snickered and went to finish off the ice-cream.

From: Bella

Ugh! I'm so BORED! X

To: Bella

From: Edward

Me too. Wanna meet up for a movie?

Gossip Girl Translation: Wanna HOOK up in the back row?

To: Edward

From: Bella

Pick me up in 20. Love you heaps.

"Can I come?" Rose asked.

Bella jumped. "Rosalie! Were you just reading over my shoulder?" she screeched, stuffing her phone under the pillow.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "No, Bella. I'm a psychic. Thats how I knew what you texted him. Honestly. And since when am I boring?"

Since the only thing you ever talk about is Emmett. Bella thought. "Rosie, you aren't boring." she lied smoothly. "I just wanna see a movie."

"Ok." Rose grabbed her bag. "Lets go to one."

"With Edward."

"Why?"

Bella sighed and inspected her nails. "He's my best friend."

Rose pouted. "And I am....?"

"My best girlfriend."

"Gee. Thanks. Anyway, I thought you were over the idea of you and Edward getting back together?"

Ah, sweet, naive Rosalie. Does a fat ten year old boy ever 'get over' the dream of eating cake for the rest of his life? Does a squirrel ever 'get over' the quest for the perfect acorn?

Bella flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I so am. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends!"

"And just because you're going to the movies with him, doesn't mean the rest of us can't come too!"

Bella groaned in defeat. "Fine. But you're buying me popcorn."
"Sure."

"And a drink."

"No problem."

"And I get to sit beside Emmett, you don't."

Rose threw a pillow at her.

"Twilight? No. We're not going to a freaking chick flick." Emmett folded his arms. "Look at the dude on the poster. What a freak. He has yellow eyes."

"Topaz!" A group of girls standing behind then squealed. "Edward has topaz eyes, idiot!" One proceeded to throw a handful of popcorn at Emmett. "Imbecile."

"What about.... Black Sheep?" Edward suggested.

Bella shuddered. "Is that sheep eating a human arm?"

The boys all high-fived.

"Whatever." Alice shrugged. "All the more reason for the boys to hold us closer.

She grabbed Jasper's hand. Emmett grinned at Rosalie who gave in and grabbed his arm as they walked in. Edward winked at Bella when no-one was looking and mouthed, Sit right at the back.

It didn't turn out as they planned.

Alice being her usual self, arranged the seating. Jasper, then herself, then Bella, Edward, Emmett and Rosalie on the end.

Bella and Edward both shot her dirty looks, Alice smiled sweetly back.

Her and Jasper started making out during the starting credits. Rose and Emmett were more polite. They waited three and a half minutes into the movie before they started.

"I'm sure they wouldn't notice if we were quick...." Edward muttered.

"I wonder if there are any good broom cupboards around here." Bella mused.

"I think I saw a rather large disabled person toilet in the foyer." he offered.

"Perfect! Lets go."

They stood up. "Going to get more snacks." whispered Bella, as if anyone actually cared, and they crept out.

Hmm...Gossip girl is wondering if they noticed Alice. Who always kisses with one eye and one ear open... I'm also wondering if they're aware of the evil plan to expose them, forming in her mind....

Hands up, who wants to find out what the evil plan is???? If YOU do....REVIEW!
