Bellas point of view
He kissed me. He said he felt the same way I did.
I bit my lip smiling as he drove away. I walked back inside grinning wildly.
"So, Edward seems nice." A gruff voice said from my left. I turned to look a my father.
"Uh huh." I muttered hiding my smile.
"He's cute." My mom nodded.
"Yep." I said and ran upstairs. I hit the top step...
"Are you two going out?"
"Yes."
"Bella come down here." I sighed and sulked back downstairs.
"Yes?" I sighed dragging out the word.
"We want to know about Edward." My mother shrugged. I sat in the recliner across from them.
"What do you want to know?"
"Is it him that got into the fight last year?" My dad asked.
"Yes, but he got pushed first, Mike was being an asshole." I defended.
"Watch your mouth."
"Sorry."
"Charlie he seems very nice, give him a chance." My mother whispered.
"Ok, fine. If he gets into any more fights then I will have to reconsider this. Tell us more about him."
"He's polite, nice, and handsome. Goodnight!" I chirped really fast then ran upstairs. I could hear my mom giggling downstairs.
Oct. 15th, the next day.
Tuesday. This upsets me. I will get to see Edward in school, but then we go home. I have to wait till tomorrow to see him after school. And we still have to do tutoring. Agh.
I threw on some jeans and a dark purple tanktop with blach converse, fixed my hair nicely so it was in curls down my back, grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.
"Have a nice day." My mom smiled and nudged Charlie.
"Tell Edward we said hi." He grumbled. I went up and kissed his cheek. It turned slightly red.
"Thanks." I laughed and headed outside. I was looking for Alices car, she had promised to pick me up, but a shiny silver volvo caught my attention.
I smiled as Edward got out and leaned against the side of it.
"Would you like to ride with me today?" He asked. I walked over to him and nodded. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair.
"I missed you terribly." He whispered. I nodded into his shirt.
"I was just about to say the same thing."
"You forgot this." I said and held his hoodie out to him.
"Keep it, you might get cold." He smiled crookedly. I grinned back and slipped it on.
He opened the passenger door for me and motioned for me to get in.
"You really dont have to do that."
He rolled his eyes.
"I want to, now get in." He chuckled. I slid in grinning.
"Did you tell Alice you were picking me up?" I asked.
"Yes, I called her. She was already half way here, she started babbling away so I hung up." He addmited sheepishly.
"Ha, I do that all the time. Shes going to be angry."
"Oh well, if I get attacked by that pixie friend of yours I'll be looking your way for a savior."
He reached over hesitantly and grabbed my left hand in his. I weeved my fingers through his. Looking at our hands smiling, made me blush looking down. My hair covered the side of my face so he couldnt see me. I tended to do that alot, it blocks me from the world. Sort of.
Two warm fingers brushed the fallen hair back over my shoulder. I looked up at Edward and he was watching the road, then turned to me.
"You look beautiful today." He noted. I snapped my gaze to the window silently cursing the blood that spread across my face at his compliment. I could hear a soft chuckle come from his way.
The rest of the ride was silent, comfortable, and peaceful. It was always like that around Edward.
"Stay." He pointed a finger at me seriously then got out once we parked in the school parking lot.
He walked around the car and opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes and stepped out.
He shut the door and I leaned against it. He stepped in front of me and leaned in. My heart sped up, like it always did when Edward was this close.
I pressed my lips to his softly. Our lips moved together perfectly in sync for about 20 seconds until...
"Oh my god." Rose.
"I knew it!" Alice.
"Finally." Emmett.
"Good grief its about time." Jasper.
Edward chuckled against my lips and pulled back to look at them.
"Hi." I nodded.
"Hi? Thats all we get?" Alice whined.
"You should have seen her this morning, she was so pissed." Rose laughed.
"First Edward tells me your ditching me for him. I was mad, but then I see you two lip locking in the parking lot, aw." She finished with a sigh.
"Am I off the hook?" Edward chuckled.
"I suppose so." Alice whined dramatically.
"Lets get to class." I said. Edward reached over and took my one inch binder off the hood of his car and carried it with his books.
"I can carry my own books, Edward."
He shrugged and reached for my hand. I dodged it and almost felt bad at the frown on his face.
"You can hold my hand or carry my books."
"Are you always this stubborn?"
I nodded. He gave me back my binder and took my right hand in his squeazing it slightly.
"Then I'd rather hold your hand." He smiled crookedly at me.
"Me too." All eyes were on us when we headed to homeroom together.
I sat in the back row with Edward to my right, he scooted his chair closer to mine and peeked over at my sketching book. Which I was currently still arguing with myself on his eyes.
"Stop." I nudged his shoulder with my elbow.
"Will you ever tell me what you do in that book of yours?" He asked.
"Yes, when I finish."
"Promise?" He whispered.
"Promise." I sighed. He laughed and kissed my temple.
"Do you want to pinkie promise on it?" I added sarcastically.
He scooted over back into his spot as the teacher walked in and told us to be quiet.
"Maybe later." He chuckled in a whisper.
Today we had an hour homeroom instead of the usual 10 minutes. Everybody was scattered about the room chatting with one another. Edward angled his chair torwards me and smiled.
"Do you want to come over Friday? My parents have been constantly nagging me to bring you over."
"Yeah. My dad should be getting my car worked on during school this afternoon." I nodded smiling. I shoved my books in my bag and leaned back in my chair.
"Tired?" He asked.
"A little."
"You slept all night."
"So did you. I couldnt get to sleep after you left." I poked his chest playfully.
He chuckled and looked away. A silent minute later he looked back over to me.
"You know you talk in your sleep?"
I gulped. This was not good. Not good at all. I knew I sometimes talked in my sleep, my mother teased me about it constantly. I had hoped I stopped.
"Um, I do?" He nodded.
"You said my name."
"Is that all?"
"No."
"At first I thought I was dreaming, but then you said some other stuff..."
He looked unsure as to if he should tell me or not.
"Tell me." I insisted.
"You said that you loved me." I looked out the window blushing madly.
"Look, I cant control what I dream about." I stated.
"Im not complaining. Did you mean it, or was it just a dream?" He pulled my chin gently back to face him.
I nodded yes.
"Yes, I suppose I told you last night after I woke up. You mean alot to me. I do love you."
We sat there in another moment of silence until he chose to speak.
"You know I love you too."
"Do you?"
He sighed and brushed some hair from my face.
"Bella, love I have only known you, I mean really get to know you, for about 2 weeks and you already mean the world to me." His eyes were clear to me, love, passion, concern.
I pecked his lips softly and smiled.
"Good, then we have something in common." I said. The green in his eyes were swirling beautifully with the topaz speckles.
"Hey Bella." Erik said from beside me and sat down.
Edward leaned back in his chair, clearly not pleased with the interruption.
"Hey Erik." I smiled politely.
"Mike is still groaning in pain from yesterdays blow."
"Good." I snorted.
"What did he do this time?"
"He was getting all hands on." I shrugged. Edward was not happy about that either. That explains his reaction yesterday.
"He'll be seeing you in the halls, just a fair warning."
"Hey Edward." He nodded in Edwards direction. Edward nodded back.
"Erik."
"So are you two dating now?"
"Yes." I smiled.
He sighed.
"All the good girls are taken." Then he got up and left.
I burst out laughing at him and walked out the door with Edward as the bell rang. We went to my locker and I put my stuff away.
"What does he mean Mike we'll be 'seeing you in the halls'?" Edward asked leaning against the locker next to mine.
"Mike is an idiot. He wont leave me alone, ever. I ignore him, and if he goes to far -like touching me- I will not hesitate to hit him." I shrugged.
"Does Erik do the same thing?"
"No, Erik likes me, he's made that clear. I've never shown any interest, that doesnt stop him from asking every once in a while. He's a good friend."
"Hmm." He nodded. I shut my locker and turned to him.
"Were you jealous?"
"No."
"Yes you were." I pointed out.
"Well, its kind of hard not to be when your dating the prettiest girl in the school." He grumbled.
"You think im pretty?" I asked batting my lashes dramatically at him. He chuckled and took my hand walking me to first period.
"No. I think your beautiful." He kissed my hand as I blushed and looked away.
