I sat quietly in the food court watching as Edward brought a slice of cheese and pepperoni pizza up to his mouth, drawing my attention to his lips as he took a bite.

I was puzzled. Edward was such a quiet, shy guy and closed off yet sometimes he would surprise me and become bold and somewhat confident and tease, like on the computer talking back to me, his little strip tease in front of the window and now going commando.

It just didn't seem like something he would normally do.

I wondered if he was aware of what he was doing and doing to me, or if he didn't even realize when he did these things?

I also wondered if Alice was right about her brother, that he was more impressionable than I thought and that maybe I was rubbing off on him and more ways than one.

"So, Edward, tell me about yourself?"

He turned his attention from his food to me, confusion written on his face.

"There is not much to tell, I mean, I like to read books and I love music and play the piano, which you already know. What else is there to tell?" He challenged.

I took a deep breath knowing he was not going to help me out. I was going to have to think of what to ask and hopefully he would answer.

"Okay, umm… what is your favorite color?"

"Blue, I guess. I mean I like a couple of colors but I would say blue is the one I'm more attracted too." He said, glancing up from his plate before moving his eyes away, cheeks blushing their normal pink tone.

"What about you?" He asked as he started to play with his hands.

"Well, my favorite color is red." I stated.

"Red, really?" He said with a snicker meeting my eyes again.

"I know red is not an obvious choose for a guy but the color always attracted me. It's bold, sexy and fierce. It's the only color that has so many different meanings behind it; it stands for hatred, romance, passion and danger. I find it intriguing that a color could mean opposite things at the same time. It's fascinating."

"How do you do that?" Edward asked with a stunned look on his face.

"Do what?"

"How do you take something so simple and boring and make it sound so stimulating and exotic?" He asked, awe-struck, his pizza forgotten, my blue eyes held his green ones.

"I don't' know, I guess it's a gift." I smirked amused.

He bashfully looked away and a small smile graced his lips.

'How is it that you can make me feel comfortable around you yet make me feel so uncomfortable around you at the same time?" He whispers, embarrassed at his confession.

"Hey." I said reaching out giving his hand a light squeeze drawing his attention back.

"This is all new for me too, you know? We will learn as we go."

He nodded in agreement.

"You done with your pizza?" I asked, noticing it was half eaten and probably cold by now.

"Yeah."

"Good, come on, we need to find you some new underwear. I still can't believe you're going commando." I voiced lowly so others nearby could not hear.

Edward snickered grabbing his shopping bags before coming to my side as we walked out of the food court.

"I can't believe it either but I got to say I think I understand why guys like it, it's quite liberating."

"If you think that's liberating, you should try swimming in the nude, totally refreshing and thrilling experience." I teased as we made our way into the men's underwear section of a store.

Edward blushed at the thought and bit his lower lip.

"Have you really swum naked before?" He asked shyly.

"Once or twice. Though I'm sure it's probably more rousing when someone can join in…" I insisted, giving him a suggestive look.

Edward gasped and his cheeks grew red as the sale's lady came over.

"Hello, can I help you with anything?" She asked.

"Yes, I was wondering if you could show us the best underwear selections you have." I stated, as I scanned over all the different choices there were.

"Yes, and if you could please make sure they are in red." Edward quickly added, making me cock my head at him in question.

He averted my eyes but a small smirk spread across his face.

Fucking tease.
