Pre-read by TeamAllTwilight. Listen to the songs if you don't know them.

They've made up, not Edward is ass-kissing her. :)

We were on the edge of the river, near a tree. I didn't think this was what he had in mind when he said walking Spot. We had walked him here and then tied his leash to the tree. He was quite bored actually. I wasn't, though.

"So you like it?" Edward asked in a hopeful voice.

"It's very romantic," I agreed. "Never thought you had it in you, Cullen."

"I have my moments," he whispered, shrugging.

I shifted on his lap and put my head on his shoulder. He had his head leaned against the tree trunk behind us, showing me his Adam apple that was bobbing nervously as he swallowed; I smiled when I saw his scruffy jaw then remembered this morning.

"Didn't you feel bad this morning?" I wondered.

"The dwarfs were still partying in my head while Coach Shaw yelled at me. It won't be a normal day if he ain't yelling at me."

"But you won't drink again, right?"

Edward squinted down at me and chuckled. "I'm a guy, Bella. I will always drink if there's a party. I won't drink as much, sure."

"I hope so and don't you ever push me away again."

"In general or when I'm halfway down the toilet? Because, I surely won't let you in when I'm sick," he threatened.

"In both cases. I'd let you there with me."

He deflated and looked up, clenching his jaw.

"Oh, is this past your male pride?" I teased, poking his ribs. The effect wasn't what I expected. I earned a high pinched squeal. Oh, how could I forget about that?

"No!" he shouted when I dug my nails against in his sides. He squealed again and squirmed under my hands. "Bella, have mercy!"

"This is too funny! I can't believe you are ticklish," I giggled and moved my hands under his shirt. He nearly spazzed under me, tears rolling down his cheeks as he gasped out, trying to get control of his laughter.

Somehow, he got the upper hand and rolled me around, bringing my hands above my head, his eyes turning forest green. "You're gonna pay, Swan," he threatened me.

"I'm so scared, Cullen! I think I may need a change of underwear."

"You think you're so funny!"

"I thought I was funny," I said cunningly. I had learned from the best. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"For that one there, I will forget about what I had planned for the evening."

Edward rolled on his back and looked up at the sky. I watched him for a few minutes and when I was sure that he won't do anything, I hugging him around the middle and put my head over his heart. He sighed contently and ran a hand over my hair. There were no words needed and I haven't felt so good, so natural around anyone ever before.

"I said I'd never hurt you and I think I just did that," he whispered after some time.

I kept my eyes on the violet sky and took his hand in mine. "I would have been there to help you find the truth about Jessica. But you pushed me away."

"I'm sorry about that. I haven't been in a relationship, as you know, I failed to realize that those things need communication to survive."

"I hope you learned your lesson," I said, softly.

"Course I did! And I want to tell you that what I said after the contest it's-"

"It's okay, Edward," I told him. "I understand why you did it."

"Do you? Because I still can't believe what I did. I've imagined saying those words to you for a while and it never was in front of an audience." He paused and turned my head to him. "I love you, Bella."

I expected him to say that he had only said the words then, not that he actually loved me. "I… Really?"

"Yes, really, silly girl! You believed me up there, even returned them."

"Yeah well… I thought it was adrenaline rush or something," I told him, stupidly.

"So you didn't mean them?" he asked, sadly.

"I did," I told him loudly. The statement didn't sound very good even to my ears.

"It's cool. I get it, Bella. You need some time, right? I really screwed up."

"No! I don't need anything. I forgive you, Edward and… I think I love you, too." You think? My subconscious mocked me.

"That's good to know," he teased me and took my cheeks in his hands. "Can I? I've wanted to kiss you for some time."

"You kissed me yesterday," I reminded him.

"Today, Bella. Let me kiss you." Was he actually pleading me? I was having too much fun to let him get his way so fast so I rose on my knees then put my ass in the grass and looked at the sunset. "Bella, please." I glanced at him and giggled at his pathetic expression. He looked like a kicked puppy.

"Oh fine, whatever. Kiss me," I said in mock annoyingness when he kept staring at me.

"Don't you want this? I won't do it if you say it like that."

"You want it then you don't want it. Are you hormonal, Cullen?"

"What?" he shouted then after a pregnant pause we erupted in contagious laughter. "I c-can't b-be-lieve yo-u! You little minx!" he sputtered out.

When we got a hold of our breaths, it was dark outside and we decided to walk back. Spot barked a lot as Edward took him to his little room in the arena.

"He'll be good there 'till Shaw gets him in the morning," he told me.

I looked at Spot who was looking at us and whining quietly. I didn't have the heart to leave him there.

"Can't you keep him in your room for tonight? You can't leave him alone here!" I insisted and took the leash again, earning a lick on my palm from the dog.

"He's not coming anywhere near my room."

"I'll take him with me," I protested and led the way to our building.

"So stubborn," he muttered from behind me. We walked in silence until we reached my room and Edward groaned loudly, pressing me in the wall with his body. "I can't do this for much longer."

"What?" I asked, innocently. He rolled his eyes.

"I took you on a nice, romantic date, it went well, I brought you back and now I'm going to kiss you. A close fucking mouthed kiss at that. Brace yourself, Swan," he said seriously, leaning closer and clouding my brain with his scent.

"You can't call your-" date like that. I never finished the threat. His lips smashed to mine and it was so much more intense than before, even from yesterday. Did the three little words mean that much in a relationship? His nose nudged mine when he pulled back, his eyes hooded with lust. "I love you so fucking much, Bella."

"I love you even more, Captain," I said a breathy voice, making him laugh.

"That sounded very wrong, you know?"

I kissed him again, keeping my tongue inside my mouth and promising myself there was more to come. I just had to let him suffer a bit.

He wrenched himself from me and looked downright furious. What was wrong? I thought of what could I have done to anger him and came up with nothing.

"You little shit!" he yelled, looking down. Had I stepped on his feet? There was no need to call me names.

That's when I saw Spot, sitting down and watching him scared, his ears plastered on his head, big blue eyes frightened.

"You deserve to sleep in the hallway. How could you do this? I fucking fed you!"

"What has he done? You're scaring him," I interrupted Edward and pushed him a few steps away from the poor dog.

"He knows very well what he's done. He's proud of it, surely. He fucking peed on me." Edward was fuming and I knew that I couldn't calm him down.

"Go to sleep and I'll have him grovel for forgiveness in the morning," I said and pecked his cheek.

"I won't hold my breath."

The door of my room opened and Tanya stepped out, looking around confused. "Oh hi."

"Go," I urged Edward and he sighed, glared at Spot again then shuffled down the hallway, grumbling.

"He's staying here?" Tanya asked, afraid.

"He won't bite, I promise. Probably he'll pee, but nothing else." I took him to my side of the room and took his leash off then went to change my clothes. I slipped under the blanket in my bed and took a book, pretending to read.

I thought of how this summer had turned out and in the end, everything was all right again. I was scared for a second that something from his past might come and destroy what I had worked so hard to build, but Edward was strong and smart. He had planned for some time to tell me his feelings and now, I realized that he might have felt them for a long time. Before the summer began when Rose said something about us being in love and he grumbled that he would have liked to tell me that in person or something like that. I didn't believe him then, but his little slips of the wonderful word along the summer made me realize that he really was in love with me.

My phone buzzed, snapping me from my dreamland.

I miss you. 3 E

I giggled and hit reply. Can't sleep without me? B

Nope. 3 3 3

Ah I see, you're trying to confuse me putting little hearts here when you wanted to put three x. B

Have you traded personalities with IQ? E 3

IQ?

Ice Queen. :-p E

No hearts?

3 3 3 3 3 all for you, love. E

I felt the hair rising from my skin and good shivers running all over my body. It was amazing to be in love.

3 for you too. B

Aw…

Did Edward Cullen just say 'aw'? Are you ok? Did you hit your head? B 3

You mean… THE Edward Cullen. Anyway, no I didn't SAY it. I WROTE it, Swan. Do you know what 2 reminds me of? E 3

I laughed loudly, burrowing my head in the pillow. He was so full of himself.

Enlighten me, your Majesty! 2…two? 2…too? B 3

Ha ha! Nope! 2 – swan. :-p E 3

Cheesy jerk. B 3

You love me anyway. E 3

Unfortunately *sigh* B 3

What? Should I come there and remind you why you 3 me?

I dissolved in another round of giggles and decided to bury myself completely under the blanket.

No need for drastic measures. B xxx

xxx? Are u trying to tell me smth? From closed lipped kiss, you want xxx? E 3

For me, x=smooches. B xxx

Then I'm disappointed. Only three? E 3

Just one heart? B xxx

I have just one and it's yours, Bella. E 3

Aw. B xxxxxxx 3

He didn't answer and I thought he fell asleep so I sent another one. Night, Edward. B xxx

Wx t. D

I was sure he was asleep when he sent that. He hadn't even pressed the right letters. I was sure he meant to write 'You too. E' but he was too tired to look properly at the keyboard.

*RA*

This weekend was Halloween and the Cullens had decided to pay their parents a visit. Of course, the Hales and I had to tag along. Not that we were complaining.

"Are we going to drive as this summer?" I asked on Friday evening.

"Probably," Edward said shrugging. "I have to go."

I nodded and kissed him. Of course, he threw himself in the kiss and when we pulled apart, he had to run to the lockers to change for the game. They had a game today, with Montana Grizzlies, and Edward was very optimistic. I wanted to be, too but I have seen how the others looked and they were huge.

I found my seat next to Rose and she winked at me. "What happened to your lip?"

I moaned and took my lower lip in my mouth, worrying it. It was swollen and a bit cut to an end for a few days. How long does it take a lip to heal?

"Are you going to ask that every time you see me?" I hissed.

"It's fun to see you squirm."

The teams were presented and when they hit Edward's name, I became a little deaf.

"How is it to date a celebrity?"

I swatted Rose's hand that was pointing a bottle of water at my mouth. "Shut up."

She wasn't right, but Edward was surely acting like a little teen star, waving and bowing at the crowd. I had to roll my eyes at how boyish he could be sometimes. He found my eyes and winked, sending me a kiss. I turned three shades of red when a camera came on me. Rose was snickering next to me as I waved tentatively back to him, making the cocky grin widen.

The game started soon after the drama finished and I was glad he was focused otherwise. Rose nudged me. "You know, I never thought I'll see him in love. He acts downright sickening around you."

"Rose, I never thought I'd end up with him. Let alone, in love with him," I said honestly, as I watched Edward jumping over an opponent and scoring the first point of the night. "Where's Alice?"

She shrugged. They hadn't really been on good terms since the winter wedding was announced. Alice had tried to make peace and explain things to Rose, but the latter didn't even pay attention to her. So I was talking with Alice only when Rose wasn't around and they even switched rooms. Emmett was sleeping with Rose and Alice was camping in the boys' room with Jasper. I'm sure they weren't complaining but if someone was to come and see this… the first that would be questioned will be the RAs. That meant Edward and me. This had to end and I hoped that they'd make peace now, over this little break.

But back to the court, this was the first game with Montana and unfortunately, our team lost with 29-24. I couldn't wait for the game away to show them that we were better. I could see it on everyone's face how disappointed they were.

Edward had lost the sparkle from his eyes when I met him outside the arena. He just slung his arm around my shoulders and walked to our building. I was sleeping in his room tonight so I wouldn't wake Tanya in the morning when we were leaving.

"Oh come on, lighten up! You make me feel depressed," I groaned after we were in our pajamas and in the bed.

"It's very weird to put your hopes up and in the end having them crushed."

"Why did you put them so high, in the first place?" I asked, turning to my side to see him.

"We always won when we played with those fuckers! And I couldn't have done the whole job! You saw how many substitutes were there! It's embarrassing."

I had no idea how many substitutes were there, but I wanted him to feel better. "What can I do to cheer you up?" I asked softly, running a hand through his soft hair.

My favorite smile appeared on his face and his eyes met mine, full of mischievousness. "Strip."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. If you stripped for me, it would make me a whole lot better," he said, smirking.

"Edward!" I shouted, and slapped his shoulder.

"I am not kidding you. It's every guy's dream."

"The one minute strip or the dancing thing?" I couldn't believe I was considering that. His eyes lit up and I got his full attention.

"The long dancing shit."

"I don't know about it, Edward," I started, squirming.

"I'll feel lots better, love," he coaxed, widening his eyes. I couldn't refuse when he did that.

"If I break my neck, it will be your fault!" I threatened.

"You won't. I'll feel fantastic if you do it," he promised. I grounded my teeth and glared at him. "I get to choose the song." He sprang out of the bed and went to his stack of CDs. When did I end up in this mess? I couldn't dance! Let alone… dance and take clothes off. I blushed and went to stop him.

"Edward… I can't do it."

"Nonsense."

The first strings of You Shook Me All Night Long started playing and I groaned loudly. Edward jumped on his bed and looked at me expectantly. Holy shit, I was really doing this! I had only my jammies on me.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then moved on the beat, as good as I could. Suddenly, I got into it and let myself feel good about doing this. I unbuttoned my top slowly then let it fall from my shoulders until I had it in around my left wrist. I twisted it in the air and threw it away. Edward's groan was louder than the music. I toyed with the elastic band of my pants, lowering it a bit then snapping it back. I approached the bed and turned around, shaking my ass at him. Just as I was trying to take the pants off in a sensual way, the song morphed into Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. This was more like it. I rotated my left leg in the air until the pants flew on the other side of the room. I was clad in only my white granny panties, I felt my cheeks flaming as I saw Edward with the corner of my eye when he palmed himself. Was this such a turn on for him? Next, I took my socks off then decided to try lap dancing since I had just warmed up to this thing.

"Holy fuck!" he moaned when my bare breasts touched his chest while I moved over his lap. I didn't realize for how long I did that until the song changed again and Edward's hands were twitching to touch me. Love at First Feel. I eased off his lap and started taking my panties off. I managed only to lower them a few inches before Edward attacked me and his eager hands ripped them apart. Next thing I knew, I was with my back pressed on the floor, as he was deep inside me, moving urgently, panting and swearing under his breath.

"What did it? The lap dance?" I wondered, running my hands on his back.

"Fuck, don't talk right now," he moaned, smashing his lips on mine and raising my legs on his shoulders. I had to give it to him. He was amazing at what he was doing. Suddenly, he got up and carried me to the bed, never disconnecting us. I was on cloud nine and still ascending. He kept his urgent pace, bringing me to a blinding orgasm but never stopping. After my second orgasm, I was shouting unknown words, writhing under him. Edward's head fell on my shoulder as his hips moved faster and faster, becoming uncoordinated as he approached his peak.

"Come with me," he said in hoarse voice. His fingers touched my clit and my world exploded again, taking him with me this time. I didn't remember anything after that.

"Psst!" I heard a hiss in my ear then a poke on my ribs. "You still alive?" Another poke. "Hey! Are you okay there?"

I groaned and flung a hand over my eyes. I heard a hearty chuckle from above me.

"We need to wake up, Swan. So you better get your fine ass out of the bed before I do something drastic."

Drastic? Like what? I didn't listen to him and tried to succumb back to sleep or post coital bliss, whatever it was.

"You asked for it!" I heard Edward saying loudly. A second later, I was on the floor with a big thud. My hip throbbed where I had hit it to the hard ground.

"Fuck you!" I hissed, still not opening my eyes.

"I'd love to indulge you in that, but Alice already called three times."

I opened an eye and glared at him. "Is it seven yet?"

"Unfortunately. You can sleep in the car."

"Great," I mumbled and rose in a standing position. I stretched and heard him groan then I realized I was still naked. "Oops!"

"I'll give an 'oops', Swan!" he moaned and tackled me. He started tickling me and I shrieked trying to escape his eager fingers. "See how it is to be tickled to death?"

"I will never tickle you again. I promise! Just stop! I can't breath!" I wailed, tears running down my cheeks. Not the best way to wake up.

"We'll continue this when we get home."

"No! Lord, no!" I yelled.

He laughed amused by my exclamation. I was finally free to go to the bathroom.

"Hurry up! Alice is yelling in my ear!" Edward pounded on the door after a few minutes.

"Hold on!" I told him after spitting the toothpaste from my mouth. "I'm nearly done!"

"I'll get the bags to the car," Edward said from the other side of the door.

"Sure, I'll see you there."

I got dressed quickly, turning red when I spotted my pajama and torn panties on the floor then I sprinted down the stairs after locking the door behind me.

"Alas!" Alice shouted when I made it outside.

"Well sorry for taking on your precious time," I grumbled.

"Woke up on the wrong side?" Emmett teased.

"Actually, I woke up on the floor," I informed him, glaring at Edward.

He shrugged and ducked in his car. Coward.

"Do I want to know why?" Alice asked.

"He pulled me out of the bed."

"You weren't cooperating!" Came Edward's shout out of the rolled window.

"It's your fault for keeping me awake for so long!" I shot back, leaning on the open passenger window.

"I don't remember you complaining, Swan! I knew you could dance," he said with a light smirk on his lips.

I turned red and glared some more at him. "You are very persuasive when you want something."

"It's a gift, but you don't know what that is."

"I'll sho-"

"Guys! Stop it!" Emmett shouted in his booming voice. "We are all really happy you took your heads out of your asses and now you are together, but PLEASE don't share with the family what you do between the sheets!"

"Who said it was between the sheets?" Edward asked, passively.

"Enough! I've heard enough!" Alice cried out. "Get in that car, Bella. Can you two survive for a few hours without killing each other or jumping each other? Because that's what you always do."

"We'll be fine, Alice," I told her, blushing.

The drive wasn't as tensed as I anticipated it to be, but when we were close to his house, he pulled on a side road in the forest.

"Ehhh," I mumbled, looking around me.

"Look, I'm sorry."

"I know. Is that why we're here?" I wondered. Did he know how to get back on the main road?

"Actually, I wanted to do this," he said teasingly, snapping his seat belt open then leaning to me. He took my face in his hands and kissed me softly, resting his forehead on mine. "I love you."

I melted under his hands and his intense gaze. "I love you, too," I whispered and pressed my lips to his again. After we separated, he turned the car around and started to his house.

When we entered the house, I knew something was wrong.

Liked it? Didn't like it?

Personally, I love the texting part. What about you?
