The room is so silent that I only hear my own nervous breathing.

"W-what are you doing here?" Her smile is growing as I see recognition grow on her face. Just when I'm about answer her, she's coming at me.

I almost fall on my ass as the force of her body colliding with mine send me back until I hit the closed door behind me.

"Oooomf!"

"Oh my God, oh my God," She whisper-chants in my ear. The heat of her breath washes over me and sends shivers through me, in a very good way.

She's completely wrapped around me as I instinctively hold on to her ass.

"Hi, Angelgirl," I whisper back, smiling like an idiot and inhaling her apple scent.

"Edward, you came here? F-for me?" She leans away to finally look at me. Her eyes are shiny and full of tears.

"Of course I did, love. I didn't want you spending Christmas by yourself. And I didn't want to be away from you anymore. I missed you, B." I touch my nose with hers as she sighs.

Starting to feel the strain of holding her up and noticing that all eyes are still on us. The scene is actually pretty comical. Four pairs of eyes like owls framing a Christmas tree in front of a window where the city lights filter through. They're frozen in place.

I reluctantly burst our little bubble.

"Hey, Angelgirl. You gonna introduce me to your friends or what?"

Bella snaps out of it and shakes her head. "Oh, my God. Of course!"

She slowly lowers her feet to the ground, quickly grabbing my hand in hers and leading me to the people she's called friends for two months.

"Everyone, this is Edward. He's my, my..." She hesitates, seemingly stuck on the word she wants to say. I want her to say it. I want to say it.

So I do.

"Her boyfriend. I'm her boyfriend."

There's a deep warmth that spreads through me at the declaration. And when I glance at Bella, her face is lit like the lights on their Christmas tree.

A/N: Aww. More tomorrow :) My sister's in town from D.C. tomorrow through Tuesday. Couple that with normal RL stuff, and I may only be able to update once a day for a while. I might have to even skip a day or two. Won't know until it happens, ykwim?

Love your words, love your passionate feelings about this story. Thanks to the Twitter pals who pimp and thanks to the lurkers who don't review. I know you're reading... I can see it my stats :P

Thoughts? Should they go at it right now or do they still have stuff to discuss? He'll probably be there through NYE, so you tell me?
