BPOV:

Rosalie and Emmett told us all how they were planning on running off to Vegas to get married over winter break and we were all invited. We all accepted the invitation but left quickly after they started making out right in front of us.. I turned my head and Edward was staring right at me. I have to go..

I got up from my seat at the table and asked Mike if he was ready to go. He agreed to leave and we were just heading out the door when I heard Edward call my name.

"Bella!" My heart was pounding just because he said my name. I have issues. I stopped and turned toward him.

"Ummm… so do you want to meet up next week to practice the lesson? We can maybe do it in front of an audience of our friends." He offered.

"Sure Cullen." I reply icily to keep up the façade for Mike. He looked up at me sadly and I regretted my tone immediately. I wanted to apologize but Mike pulled me out the door.

I felt bad about feeling all of things for Edward while I was still dating Mike. Mike was a great guy and I was just ignoring him for someone that didn't feel the same way about me. I need to get over this crush I have for Edward. It's not fair to Tanya or Mike.. Is it a crush? I didn't think so…

-Edward's POV-

I had to make plans to see her again. Even if we were in a group. I wanted to see her again but we were only able to be decent with each other when we were working on school stuff. So I made up the excuse to practice.

I was thrown back into the reality of our relationship when she answered me so coldly before she left with Mike. We weren't friends. We weren't anything. I left with Tanya.

Bella and I traded e-mails back and forth the next day to pick a time and place for our practice run.. we were going to meet in her dorm on Tuesday afternoon. Our presentation was on the following Monday. The week of finals.

-Tuesday-

Everyone agreed to become our practice students and so here we were. Bella, Mike, Tanya, and I all hanging out in Bella's room. Neither one of our significant others (Tanya wasn't that significant) wanted us to be alone with the other in a dorm room so they both insisted on being here early while Bella and I prepared.

Angela and Ben, Alice and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, and Jessica all showed up in the next 15 minutes and we were ready to start the lesson.

Let's just say that after a few runs I was ready to punch Mike in the face and then throw him across the room. He kept smiling at Bella like she was something to eat or something to be conquered. Tanya was being annoyingly supportive after every practice run and I just rolled my eyes.

Finally, after our 10th run, and after Emmett stopped acting like the class clown, we finally got it down. I suggested a celebratory pizza but all of the couples have other plans. Mike and Tanya have other plans as well so it would just be me and Bella. She seemed uncomfortable with idea so I just suggested another day.

-Bella's POV-

I hate Tanya! She is so annoying and could she be any more obvious with her goo-goo eyes at Edward. She kept looking at him like he was standing there naked right next to me. I had to glance over at him a few times just to be sure. I wouldn't want to miss that.

After we finally perfected our lesson, Edward suggested a celebratory pizza but nobody could make it. Well I could and so could he but I don't think that would be a good idea.

All of our audience left soon after for their plans and Edward followed right behind them.

I decided to get a head start on my reading for my British Lit class and got lost in my book.

I heard a knock on the door and when I looked at the clock I realized I have been reading for two hours. I leapt out of bed and threw the door open. My breath stopped and my heart started racing simultaneously.

Edward was standing at my door with a pizza.

"Hey..um.. I was just thinking that maybe we should practice a few more times.. you know…just in case…." He admitted shyly. I have never seen Edward shy. It was hot.

"Sure.. umm.. come in.." I moved away from the door and he walked in.

"I never got to say anything earlier but I like your posters. Great choices!" He commented while gesturing toward my movie and music posters.

"Oh, thanks. Not to many people like these bands or movies. Most people haven't even heard of them."

"I have." He stares at me and I feel the urge to move closer but I decide against it.

"So.. you wanted to practice some more.."

"Yeah.."

We set up the lesson and do one more run through.. It goes perfectly.

"I guess we don't need as much practice as I thought." He admits.

"I guess now we just have to eat this delicious pizza you've brought with you." I was starving so I ran and grabbed the pizza off my desk and launched myself and the pizza on my bed before I opened it up and dived in.

Edward hesitantly sat down on my bed next to me and he grabbed a slice. We talked about our likes and dislikes.. We had a lot of things in common but we also had our disagreements. I have never been more comfortable with anyone in my entire life. I was falling harder and faster with every passing second.

"Uh…you have a little….right here." He starts pointing at his cheek and telling me I have something on my face. I start blushing and grab a napkin to wipe it off.

Once the napkin touches my face, I feel his hand come around my wrist and still my hand. He pushes my hand away and wipes away the sauce with the napkin. Slowly he leans closer and closer. I don't pull away. In fact I think I said, " I promise I won't slap you again." I can't be sure though, my mind was out of the room for the moment.

Once our lips touched I was reminded just how wonderful it is kiss Edward. Sparks, fireworks, explosions, foot popping, amazing!

A few seconds after his lips crashed to mine we heard the door open and before we could pull away Angela was in the doorway…staring right at us.

Edward grabbed his jacket and his dorm key and ran out of the room.

"Um.. Rosalie texted me and said that we are supposed to meet her and all the girls to the dress shop tomorrow." Angela informs me without mentioning anything she just witnessed. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ok.. thanks Ang."

"No problem."

-Wedding Dress Shopping-

"Rosalie come out! Let's see this dress!" Alice begged. She had been handing Rosalie twenty dresses at a time for the past hour. It was just Rosalie, Alice, Angela, and myself at the dress shop today. Not that I was complaining.

"I'm coming Alice, give me a minute." She yelled back.

"So Bella, are you and Edward ready for your lesson?" Alice turned to me with a smile.

"I think they are more than ready." Angela offers with a smile in my direction. Of course I blush and then all hell breaks loose.

"OMG! Did something happen?" Alice squealed.

"NO!" "YES!" Angela and I yell at the same time.

Just then Rosalie comes out the dressing room in a gorgeous wedding gown.

"Rose! Rose! Something happened between Edward and Bella!" Alice squeals.

"Spill it Swan!" Rosalie demands.

"Nothing really..we kissed..twice.. that's all." I look down quickly.

"What?!" All three of them scream.

I proceed to tell them about the party and about Edward coming over with a pizza.

They all insist that he likes me but I tell them that it is impossible.

The last thing they asked me has been on my mind for the rest of the day…do I like him…

Do I like him.. no… I don't like him…I love him…I love everything about him….

-Edward's POV-

I am in love with Isabella Swan and she doesn't even know…

The next few days flew by. None of us really saw much of each other outside of our roommates because we were all busy studying for finals. Before I knew it, it was the day of our presentation.

We decided to meet at Bella's dorm so I could help her carry all the stuff we needed for the project. I ran out of my room when it was 45 minutes before class started. As I turned the corner I saw Mike knocking on her door and then when she opened it they talked for a second and then…he kissed her. My stomach plummeted and my hands balled up into fists. I took a deep breath and walked up to her door.

"Oh hey Edward. You ready?" She asked indifferently. Oh right, Mike couldn't know we were…whatever we are…

"Whatever." I replied with just as much indifference and maybe a hint of annoyance.

We walked to our class in silence and when we got there Tanya was waiting outside to wish me luck. She also whispered that she missed me and when her last final was over we should 'reconnect.' I just rolled my eyes internally and thanked her before heading into class.

- Bella's POV-

I hate Tanya! She was waiting for Edward and they had a make out session right in front of me. Then I heard her whisper something about reconnecting.. I almost lost my breakfast right there in the hallway.

Our lesson went well and we both seemed to be relieved that we didn't have to work together anymore. At least it seemed that he was. I was devastated.

The next day I got done with my final early and went to say hi to Mike. I decided, the night before, that I would try to become a better girlfriend. Nothing was going to happen with Edward. Mike was packing for Vegas all day since we were leaving tomorrow morning.

I got to his room and knocked on the door but he didn't answer. I bet he is in the bathroom or something. I try the handle and it was unlocked so I open the door. I was not prepared for what I saw.

Mike was with another girl, who I couldn't see because she was covered up by Mike's body. I felt the tears coming to my eyes and I staggered backward into the hallway. I turned swiftly and was about to make a sprint to my room when I ran into a strong body. Edward.

"Bella? Bella what's wrong?" He looked into my eyes and I couldn't take it. I pulled away and ran to my room.

-Edward's POV-

After Bella ran off I was about to run after her when I heard noises coming from Newton's room. I walked over to his doorway and saw him with another girl. That little….

"Newton!" I yell.

"Cullen! Leave me alone! I am a little busy!" He panted.

I walk into the room and pull him off of…Jessica?

"Newton you have two minutes to pack up your stuff and find someplace else to live. If you don't you will not wake up tomorrow! If you do, you will never be able to do this ever again!" I yell as I punch him in the face for good measure.

I leave the room and text Alice and Rosalie what happened so they could be there for Bella even if I couldn't.

Mike is an idiot! He has the most amazing girl in the world and he ruins it.

- Bella's POV-

Angela, Alice, and Rose all stayed with me that night to comfort me but they all had to leave in the morning to pack before we left for Vegas. At least Mike got uninvited.

A few hours a later I have accomplished very little in terms of packing but the boys texted all of us asking us over for pizza and a movie. I decline with my packing excuse but I am not ready to be around people. Especially not Edward.

-Edward's POV-

I couldn't get Bella out of my mind all night and all the next day. The look in her eyes when she ran into me in the hallway broke my heart. I decided that we should invite the girls over for pizza and a movie before our flight tomorrow. Really, I just wanted to see her. See how she was.

She didn't come. Angela said she was still packing but she didn't believe that that was the only reason. I couldn't just go up there. People didn't know about how much I liked, loved, her. They weren't going to know.. I also had Tanya. Why haven't I gotten rid of her yet?

We all sat around and at pizza and once everyone fell asleep while watching the movie, I snuck out to see her.

When I got to her door, she opened it with red/puffy eyes. You could see the tear stains on her cheeks. She turned and started back toward her suitcase but I grabbed her hand and walked her into the bathroom. I grabbed a washcloth and gently washed her face. We didn't say a word.

"Bella, you are exhausted. It looks like you are done packing. Why don't you get into bed?" I suggested.

"I'm not tired…I still have so much to do." She argued.

"Alright. Do mind if I stay with you then? Everyone is asleep down there."

"Sure." She whispered.

"Would you like some mood music while you pack?" I offered with a crooked smile.

"What did you have in mind?"

I turned on my phone and played some songs I have saved up on there. She sang along with the songs she knew and listened intently to songs she didn't.

Eventually she gave up on packing and joined me on the bed. We sat and talked for a good hour before she laid her head on my lap. She fell asleep within minutes.

I lifted her head out of lap and slid out from underneath her. I found a throw blanket and threw it over her and put a pillow under her head. I quickly left the room.

I would have stayed but I didn't want anyone to find us like that if I had fallen asleep. I longed for her closeness now.
