Chapter Four

When I woke in the morning I rolled over to fine the other side of the bed empty. I knew last night must have been a dream, it was too good to be true. I looked around the room noticing that I wasn't in the guest room, I was in Edward's room. I got up and realised I wasn't wearing any clothes either. Maybe last night wasn't a dream. I searched around the room managing to find my underwear and one of Edward's top I slipped them on before heading downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen the sight before me was magnificent, Edward was standing there in nothing but his boxers. He hadn't noticed me so I cleared my throat to get his attention. He spun around startled by my appearance.

"What are you doing here you should be in bed."

"I woke up and realised I was in the wrong room. Edward did last night really happen or was I dreaming?" I didn't want to ask but I needed to know for sure.

"Last night definitely happened and it was incredible." He said smiling at me. When he smiled at me it made me forget that he had never actually spoken to me before last night. I looked down blushing not knowing what to say.

"Do you regret last night Bella? Because I don't if that's what you're worried about." He said coming to stand in front of me. In all honesty I didn't regret last night there were just a few things I was unsure about.

"No I don't regret last night. I just want to know what happens from here. Do you go back to ignoring me and back to Rosalie or what?" I didn't want us to go back to what we were before but if we did I would be forever grateful that we had that night.

"I could never go back to ignoring you Bella. I let my stupid popularity get in the way of me talking to you sooner. I've wanted to talk to you and be with you since you came to Forks, but it was so hard I was with Rosalie and all of my friends took a disliking to you and I don't know why. But I'm not with Rosalie anymore and honestly I don't care about my popularity anymore. All I care about is you, so maybe we could see how things go." I didn't want to be his rebound girl from Rosalie, but I had nothing to lose by trying. I nodded my head slowly and he wrapped his arms around me giving me a hug.

"Thank you Bella I know we've done this all wrong by sleeping together before really knowing each other but I couldn't help myself last night when I saw you in that dress." He bent down and gave me a kiss we were interrupted by the noise of people coming downstairs. We pulled apart and I sat at the kitchen bench while he finished making breakfast. Alice and Jasper walked into the room looking like an absolute mess. I wasn't sure if it was because they drank too much or if they had had some fun together last night, but either way I didn't want to know. Alice looked me up and down raising her eyebrows at me. I looked down at myself realising that I was still only wearing Edward's shirt.

"I split a drink on myself last night and Mike and Jessica were in the guest room so I couldn't get my clothes, so Edward let me borrow a shirt." I looked at Edward with begging eyes. I was asking him to not tell his sister about what we did last night. Alice looked at Edward for confirmation.

"Yeah I thought I would be nice and give her a shirt plus I know you would have gone off if there was a stain on the dress so we washed it for you." When he spoke there was no trace of a lie.

"But you two have never spoken before." Thanks Alice point out the obvious.

"Geez Alice can't I just be nice without you thinking I have alterative motives. Plus you've been friends with Bella for years now I thought it was about time I started acting civil." Alice looked shocked at Edwards comment. She just shrugged and sat down next to me and started talking about last night while I stole glances at Edward who was talking to Jasper. I would occasionally see him looking up at me and we would both quickly look back down smiling.

Once we had finished our breakfast I made my way up stairs to have a shower and get ready to go home. I had just walked into the guest room's private bathroom and removed Edward's shirt when I felt to arms wrap around me. I yelped in surprise. I turned around to fine Edward standing there.

"I'm sorry I scared you but I wanted to spend some time with you before you went home. Alice and Jasper are in her room enjoying the time together while our parents aren't here." Alice and Jasper were always going at it when they had a chance you wouldn't think that from the way they were in public but put them in a private room and bam.

"You couldn't wait until I came out of the bathroom?" He looked down at me smirking.

"Well no I love the view of you naked. How about you get into the shower while I'll sit here and we can talk and get to know each other a bit." I blushed looking down realising that I was only standing in my underwear. But then I thought why should it brother me he's already seen me naked. I nodded slowly and turned the shower on while he took a seat on the closed toilet. As I got into the shower Edward asked the question I had been waiting for.

"Why didn't you tell Alice the truth about last night?" I let the shower water run over me while I thought of how to answer him.

"I just, I don't know. I don't want everyone to know just in case this ends badly. We're from two completely different social groups Edward and Alice finds it so hard just to be my friend. I suppose I just don't want to give people more reason to tease me." He was sitting there playing with his hands and at that point I would have loved to have been able to read his mind so I could know what he was thinking.

"I don't care what other people think Bella, I only care about what you think but if you don't want people to know that's fine I'll do whatever you want me to do Bella." I felt so bad I wasn't ashamed of us I just didn't want him to go through what I go through every single day.

"You say that now Edward but you don't have people ignoring you all day every day or push past you as though you're nothing. Maybe we can just keep it quiet for a few weeks until we're sure of everything. Can we just leave it now you came up here so we could get to know each other so how about you start."

While I continued my shower feeling self conscious, we discussed random things from our favourite colours to childhood memories. It felt good to actually get to know Edward. I didn't know what exactly was going to happen once we were back at school, if Edward really didn't care about being popular anymore, but I wasn't going to miss this opportunity to find out more about Edward and spend some time with him.
