The Learning Curve: Chapter 29
Bella Swan's House
"I think Edward is trying to kill me," I complained to Alice. We were at my kitchen table, trying and failing to do our math homework.
Alice was punching vigorously at her graphing calculator. "What makes you say that?"
"He kissed me before Bio. And then he walked me to the gym and kissed me again before he left." If anything, he'd kissed me more thoroughly the second time, and it made me really mad that I couldn't go to his house after school. Instead I got to go home and change my panties.
"It's not like you haven't kissed him before," Alice pointed out.
I frowned. "But this is a totally different context. He's really putting a lot of effort into this whole boyfriend thing. I think he might like-like me, Alice."
She gave me an incredulous look from under her eyelashes.
"I know, you told me so, but it doesn't make sense. Why would a guy who can have anyone want me?"
"I'm sure he's told you why he wants you. You just haven't been listening."
I thought about that. "He said I wasn't like other girls," I mused. "And today he called me irresistible. But I'm not sure what that means."
Alice rolled her eyes. "Really, Bella? You don't know what that means? Do you think he'd be fingering you if he didn't find you attractive?"
I blushed, but I saw her point.
"What should I do about it, though?"
"I guess you'd better decide if you want to be his girlfriend for real."
"Yeah..." Apparently, I had some thinking to do.
A/N: Very short chapter, I know, but I still probably won't update again until tomorrow. I hope this was juicy enough to tide you over.
