Bella raced into the house after I asked her to the dance. I just sat in the front seat smiling like an idiot. I laughed out loud when I realized she had left her truck running. I grabbed her keys and ran in the house with a light skip in my step. I was in love with my best friend, and I knew I had to tell her. Soon.
I opened the door and walked into the living room. Emmett and Jasper were busy killing each other on the Xbox.
"Who's winning?" I asked.
"Me," they both answered. I laughed.
"So… who's really winning?" I asked again.
"Jasper," Emmett sighed.
"I thought," I smiled.
The game had just finished when we heard the girls jumping around upstairs and decided to investigate. When we walked into the room we found them in an odd position, Rose and Bella were face to face, Bella on top of Rose and then Alice was on top of Bella's back.
"Well…" Emmett shook his head.
"Close your mouth, Em, you might catch a fly," Bella smirked at him.
"Mature Bells. Considering you are the one laying on top of my girlfriend," Emmett chuckled.
"Don't pretend you don't like it," Alice kissed Bella on the cheek.
"God Alice!" I laughed. This was my sister and my crush!
"Hey Edward, I hear you finally grew a pair!" Rose cheered.
"What the hell does that mean?" Bella asked frustrated.
Emmett broke the silence with his laughter. Every one started laughing at Bella.
"Shut up! Obviously, I know what that means, but why do you keep saying that?" she asked.
"I can't tell you yet. You have to wait until Friday," I winked and walked out of the room, Emmett and Jasper right behind me.
We walked back down the stairs and then they started asking questions.
"So…?" Emmett asked.
"So… what?" I answered.
"So, what's going on with you and my sister?" Emmett asked.
"Nothing… yet," I smirked.
"Well, apparently something is happening on Friday," Jasper chuckled.
"Oh, that. I asked her to be my date to the dance," I smiled.
"It's about time," Emmett chuckled, giving me a high five. I looked in my other hand and realized that I still had Bella's keys.
"I'll be right back," I chuckled running up the stairs just in time to hear Alice start talking.
"Are you two ready to go?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. Let me just find my…" Bella spun around in circles searching for her keys. "Crap. Anybody seen my-"
"…Keys?" I chuckled dangling her keys off my finger.
"Thanks," she blushed.
"Not a problem," I smiled, "Just remember when you leave them in your car from now on, okay?"
"Fine," she huffed, and laughed.
"You girls have fun!" I called back to them walking out the door.
The whole time the girls were gone shopping the three of us guys were just playing video games.
Jasper got a text from Alice a few hours later that the girls were on their way home. She said we were going to have to help them plan the party. Jasper quickly text her back saying we weren't home.
"Jasper, we are home. We can't just hide." I laughed.
"They won't be here for fifteen minutes. We have plenty of time to leave." Jasper responded. Emmett nodded eagerly next to him.
"Fine." I laughed. "Let me run upstairs and grab my sneakers." I told them. They both nodded as I ran up the stairs.
I just got to my room when I heard the roar of Emmett's Jeep. I opened my window to see the boys peeling out of my driveway.
"Cowards!" I yelled to them. I closed the door and hid in my room when the girls got home. I would let them think I was with Emmett and Jasper. When I heard Alice's door lock firmly into place, I snuck down to the living room to watch TV.
The time passed and the girls never came down, busy planning away.
An hour or so later a light knock came on the door. I forced myself out of the couch and walked to the door. I wasn't happy with who was there.
"Tanya," I sighed.
"Hello Edward. I've missed you," she smiled.
"Tanya, it's been about two weeks," I scoffed.
"I know, but can we go and talk?" she asked.
"Sure," I sighed closing the door behind her and walking up the stairs to my room with her following behind me.
"What's wrong Tanya?" I asked.
"Nothing," she said quickly.
"Well, how've you been?" I asked.
"I've been good. I've been living my life to the fullest. I actually met a new guy," she smiled.
"That's great Tanya," I smiled, "What's his name?"
"Well, we aren't dating yet, but we are really good friends right now," she sighed.
"Oh," I chuckled.
"What about you Edward?" she asked.
"Hah! It's stupid. I really " I paused. Tanya probably wouldn't take well to the love because I never said it to her. "I have a really big crush on this girl, but I don't know if it will happen." I sighed hitting my head against my wall.
"Who is she?" Tanya asked.
"Are you sure that I can talk to you about this?" I asked.
"Of course," she smiled.
"Well, it's Bella," I smiled.
"I figured," she chuckled.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"Edward, just by the way you talked about her even when we were still dating it made me think that there was more going on then you were letting on," she explained.
"Oh," I chuckled. "Well, I guess we're doing okay. We are dance partners for the recital this summer."
"That sounds fun. Are you enjoying it?"
"Well, we're doing three dances. They are great, but one dance is about two friends who want to become more. They are afraid to take it to the next level. It ends with this big kiss," I explained. Tanya laughed but quickly covered her mouth.
"So it's basically a replica of what you want to happen with Bella?" she asked.
"Yeah," I chuckled at how outrageous it sounded.
"So, what's so wrong with it?" she asked.
"We practiced the kiss for the first time today," I explained.
"Oh," she chuckled.
"Yeah, and she's either a really good actor or she wants the same thing I do. I'm so frustrated," I sighed.
"Now I understand. Well, is she a good kisser?" Tanya asked.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"Well, is she?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah! It was awesome," I said confused.
"Is she better than me?" She asked, laughing.
"Tanya, don't make me answer that." I said back to her, uncomfortable.
She laughed and pushed me back into my couch and set herself on my lap. Before I could say anything, Tanya forced her lips on mine. What the hell was she doing? She knew I liked Bella! I tried to push her off but her nails dug into my shoulders. The door swung open and my heart broke when I heard her voice.
"Hey Edward, I need you to-" Bella said. Her voice broke off when she saw Tanya on top of me.
"Bella!" I shouted in surprise. This was horrible. I had just hurt the girl I wanted more than anyone. Bella took a deep breath and looked to the ceiling to chase away tears. Her voice was eerily calm when she spoke up.
"Wow, well, you really are like James, huh Edward? Anyway, I just wanted to tell you to shove Friday up your ass." She smiled at me, broken, and it killed me even more.
"Shit! Bella wait!" I yelled, but she had already slammed the door. Everything she said struck me hard then. I was just like James to her now. She was putting me in the same category as someone who raped her.
"What the hell Tanya?" I yelled, "Why did you do that?"
"Well, I might have seen her truck out front," she chuckled.
"Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. MY. HOUSE!" I yelled through clenched teeth.
"Fine, fine," she sighed and stood from the couch.
I led her to the front door and waited for her to leave. She tried to give me a hug, but I just moved out of the way so she would get the point. I leaned up against the door and closed my eyes to trap the prickling tears when I felt something hard smack my cheek. I yelled in surprise and then brought my hand up to my cheek, slowly looking at who was in front of me.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Alice screamed at me.
"Alice, please," I begged tears beginning to form in my eyes.
"Edward, what the hell were you thinking making out with Tanya?" Alice asked shaking her head.
"I wasn't making out with her. She tricked me, Alice. Can you please ask Bella to talk to me? I have to talk to her. Please Alice?" I begged, a few traitor tears falling from my eyes.
"I'll try," she sighed.
"Thank you so much," I said and tried to smile. She left the foyer and walked back into the living room. After about five minutes, Alice came into the foyer and glared at me. "Go." Alice said, pointing to the living room. I walked in and saw Bella, sitting there crying.
"Bella?" I asked timidly.
"What do you want?" she sobbed.
"Bella, please let me explain," I begged.
"Edward, what's there to explain? You are still in love with her so there really isn't a point to this argument," she sighed.
"I don't love her, I never did," I sighed.
"Why then?!" she yelled, "Why the hell were you making-out with her?"
"She tricked me okay!" I shook my head, "I was just talking to her and she kissed me and wouldn't let me go."
"That's not a very good excuse!" Bella screamed.
"Well, I'm sorry that I'm not good enough for you! But it's true." I yelled back.
"Why do you even care?" Bella asked.
"Because I really like you," I mumbled, not letting her hear me. I wasn't prepared to tell her yet.
"What?" she asked.
"What do you think that I care?" I asked.
"I don't know," she sighed.
"Then what do you want me to do?" I asked.
"I want you to say that there is no one else," she yelled.
"There isn't anyone else!" I yelled back.
"How the hell am I suppose to know that?!" she yelled.
"You are just going to have to trust me," I sighed.
"Trust is a lie," she mumbled.
"I'm sorry that I hurt you but I want to make it up to you. Please just believe me when I say that I don't love Tanya and there is no way that I ever wanted to kiss her," I explained.
"Fine. I'll trust you this time, but if you hurt me again… I don't think that I can be around you anymore," she whispered, tears falling from her eyes.
"Thank you," I smiled, "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded and I started to walk up the stairs.
"Please, don't leave me," she asked.
"I won't," I promised.
"Bella?" I asked.
"Yeah?" she responded.
"Will you still go with me? To the dance, I mean." I asked.
"Yeah," she giggled. I sat next to her on the couch and threw and arm over her.
"Thanks," I smiled, kissing the top of her head. She lay down and pulled me with her; soon she fell asleep. As I drifted off, I thought of the dance tomorrow. It would be the day I told her. I knew I could do it.
