The Learning Curve: Chapter 4

Bella Swan's bedroom

The time on the computer clock read 2:53, and I knew I really ought to get to bed, since it was technically Monday now, and in a few short hours, I'd have to get ready for school, but my research was too engrossing.

I'd been at it for hours, and not with great results – partly because my internet connection was so slow, but mainly because I couldn't find any consistent answers about how to go about having sex, or even about how to give a blow-job. Not that I wanted to give a blow-job, because the thought of Mike's penis in my mouth seriously grossed me out. On the other hand, giving oral sounded downright pleasant next to the agonies I was reading about concerning first times. Apparently for some girls it could hurt for days.

I was scared now, and I wasn't sure Mike was the person for the first time. He wasn't very affectionate to start with, and he really didn't handle it well when I got emotional.

What if it hurt so bad I cried? He'd totally freak out.

My research did convince me, however, that the sooner I got this all over with, the better. I just needed an experienced hand to guide me through the whole process. Someone who'd done it before and would be nice about it, but whose opinion didn't really matter to me. Someone I didn't care if I disappointed.

But someone attractive, obviously, who I could maybe enjoy being with just a little bit.

I thought about the boys who had reputations at school, and one name kept repeating in my mind.

Edward Cullen.


A/N: As this story progresses, I'll probably only update once a day. Yes, I know the chapters are short. That's the point of a drabblefic. I don't know yet how long this story will be. I'll just keep going until I'm done.
