Expecting, expecting, expecting and wondering. Wondering and expecting, it didn't matter the order it was put it or how many times the word was said that's exactly what I was doing. I felt like Edward had owned some part of my feelings, maybe a little more, enough to get hurt. Of course he was different from the guys I'm use to seeing in the love movies, I didn't know if he could be romantic or will fly across the country to see me. It was just a dream I had to let go.

A couple of days later, it now being a day before this party and I was a nervous wreck. I didn't have the slightest clue on what to expect, I knew that the party wasn't going to be like the ones that my aunt and uncle host. I guess my confusion was noticeable when Edward had brought it up on one of his many visits within these last few days. He explained what to expect and what to watch out for and I wasn't feeling safe when he said he would watch out for me.

Day had turned into lovely night time and I was cozy in my bed, I was watching a late night movie on my T.V. sleep wasn't really hitting me just yet and I figured that watching a movie would help me. Right in the middle of the movie while being half asleep, I kept hearing taps of come sort, repeatedly hit my window. About the 3rd time it was really start to get me annoyed.

With an irritated groan I pushed the blankets off my body and headed over to the window. I pushed the curtains aside and pushed opened my window, I looked down and only meeting the eyes of Edward. I tensed up a little in disbelief that he was standing there, either willingly or dared.

"Come out Bella…" he called out trying to stay unheard.

I looked over my shoulder to my clock and then looked back at him. "It's almost midnight." I said and shook my head a little. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"I didn't ask for the time, I told you to come out here please. Stop being such a goody, goody and get out here. Don't make me go in there…" He threatened and pointed his finger at me.

I stared at him for a few moments and just nodded, if I knew Edward well enough then he would actually come inside and get me. I closed my window and turned on my heel, I headed for the closet and pulled out a sweater and put it on. I switched my pajama pants for some jeans and got my slip on Vans.

I turned off my T.V. and headed out of my room and the house quietly. I stuffed my hands into my pockets as I walked towards Edward; the breeze was nice but just a little too cold for my liking. I stood in front of him and then looked around not seeing his car.

"A friend dropped me off." He said while grabbing my forearm and started to walk away from my house.

"I wasn't really wondering about that." I said and tried to keep up with him, his pace was just a little too fast.

"You were, your face is just that obvious Bella." His voice was sounding a little annoyed.

I remained quiet for the rest of time we walked, I wasn't about to get ditched some where I wasn't familiar with. In time Edward's hand had very slowly slipped down to my own hand and held onto it, my fingers did not fight to hold onto his hand this time. This only made my stomach twist and the hairs on my neck stand, it was the feeling I was craving every time he wasn't near or touching me. His thumb mindlessly slid over the back of my hand, once noticing what he was doing, he quickly stopped and looked at me as if I was doing it to him.

A little bit more of walking and we were at the park, I looked at the back of his head as he slowed down his walking and stuffed his hand into his pant pocket, he pulled out some keys and walked along the short sidewalk to a door. He let go out of my hand and opened up the door. I curiously got on my tippy toes and peer over his shoulder.

Edward yanks me inside quickly and closes the door behind me, not much to see with the dim lights but soon become brighter when he flicks on the lights and showed an indoor pool. I raised an unsure eyebrow and crossed my arms; I gaze up at Edward waiting for an explanation and only to get nothing.

I sighed deeply and walked into the room more, I looked over the chairs and placed myself down in one of them, I am now lost in the world of Edward, and I don't think I'm ever going to understand him. I rest my elbow on my leg allowing my chin to rest on my hand. I stared boredly into the still water and watched a light turn on in it.

A towel was thrown at me either trying to get my attention or in an attempt to hurt me. I looked up at Edward who was now just in his boxers, his clothes folded neatly on the chair next to me along with his shoes. I wrapped my arm around the towel and kept my eyes on his, I was now starting to feel uncomfortable.

"You're not gonna get in?" He asked as he walked closer to the pool, he turned slowly so he was now facing me.

I shook my head slightly and looked down at the towel; I placed it next to me on the chair and looked back to Edward. He rolled his eyes and turned back around and dove right in, he surfaced and stared at me. He held onto the edge of the pool with one hand and pointed down into the pool.

I shook my head fully and kept my eyes on his, he wasn't having it. He pulled himself out of the pool and started to walk up to me. Nervously I stood up knocking the chair down, his arms reached out for me as I started to walk backwards, the small smirk on his lips was starting to form causing me to feel less uncomfortable.

"Don't." I said softly and turned my head to check if my body was coming in contact with the wall anytime soon. Before it could happen I turn fully and started to jog my way towards the other side of the building.

"Bella!" He said sadly, I turned on my heel and came in contact with a new kind of face that I've never seen before; his lip was formed into a pout as his eyes showing such an innocent look. I knew it was look that I had to watch out for.

"Edward, no…. I don't want to go swimming. Not in my clothes." I said and crossed my arms over my chest, hoping he got that it was my final choice.

"I'm not taking no for an answer, I didn't come to your house and get you so you wouldn't go swimming with me." He said crossing his arms as well. There was small puddle forming at his feet as he stood there shaky slightly.

"No one told you to go and get me; I mean you sure do like to hang out a lot with me for someone who doesn't like me."

Edward slowly unfolded his arms, his eyes don't leave mine. Those brown eyes were getting soft; they didn't look like they were annoyed or mad. He shrugged slightly and chewed on his bottom lip as if he was in a deep thought. His mouth slowly opened but quickly closed.

I waited for him to explain what he needed to, to deny the fact that he didn't go and get me that I willingly just threw myself at him and begged on my knees to go. I moved my arms to my middle and held onto it as my fingers clenched onto my sweater, my patients was starting to run low.

"I have… I'm getting these…" Edward started as he stumbled over his words. "I'm getting comfortable with you, I feel that I don't have to try and impress you because you'll just take me for who I am. But that doesn't mean I like you Bella." He made his last sentence pretty clear.

"Well it's not like I wish on stars for you, Edward Cullen; I don't cross my fingers in hope of some kind of gesture of love from you…" I said and held onto my sweater a little tighter, I knew I was lying right through my teeth but showing him will give him a shot to weaken me. Edward stood there looking taken aback, his shoulders looking tense.

"Well good then I don't have to worry about hurting your feelings anymore because now the truth is out." He said and nodded, he licked his lips a little before looking down at the ground. "I think this is the most you've ever talked to me…"

"You haven't really given me a chance to speak to you because I either get you mad or annoyed and if I'm lucky I get both."

"You're starting to annoy me now, I really like the quiet you. You're less snappy." He spoke letting the old Edward return, murdering this happy and expressive guy. He turned with one move and started to walk to back to the pool. "And get in the pool."

I took an uneasy breath as I was so close to having the nice Edward, I unfolded my arms and walked back to the chair and picked it off the ground, and I took off my sweater and placed it on the chair. I took off my Vans and my socks, my eyes wondered over to the pool as he swam around freely.

I felt more uncomfortable as I stood there with my arms around my waist trying to hide the bra and underwear that made me feel less nude. I walked to the stairs and put my foot in finding the water to be abnormally warm so I walked in with no trouble. I stayed on the shallow side of the pool as Edward swam around in the deep.

I lowered myself into the water more, my shoulders under the water as my eyes looked down into it, and my skin looking far paler than it would normally. Two arms reached out for my legs and pulled my body forward and now pressed against Edward's. My heart started to race only imagining of this closeness and now it was happening, it wasn't believable.

My breathing had taken another level up to make it obvious that I wasn't use to this, I felt his eyes burned into mine I knew he was reading me because he let go of me and moved back slightly. I finally made myself make some kind of eye contact with him; I wasn't going to allow him to think I was scared or that I feared him.

"I didn't think you were going to come in…" He said and moved back to only being inches from me.

"You're voice was convincing, you made it sound like you wanted me to come in here." I said keeping my eyes on his even though he looked away.

"I didn't want you in here…" He said faking a laugh and looked back at me. Once he knew I wasn't buying it he rolled his eyes and splashed some water at me. "You're not supposed to catch on with the small remarks; you're supposed to believe them." He pouted.

I knew I shouldn't be giving into his pout and innocent eyes because then he'll do it more often and walked all over me. I splashed him and started to swim away, I felt his hands on my waist and pulled me back to him. He turned me so I was facing him, our faces inches away.

"Why do you hate me?" He asked in a low tone like other people where in this room, trying to hear.

"I don't hate you Edward." I whispered and rest a hand on his shoulder; I pushed him back a little so I wouldn't go cross eyed when I happened to stare at his lips. "Why do you hate me?" I asked in return.

"I wouldn't say I hate you Bella, I just hate the fact that you're making me comfortable with you." He said and kept his hands on my waist.

I stared deeply into his eyes afraid to look away; I bit down on my bottom lip knowing I had stared for too long. I looked away from him and down at the water, watching our bodies look like they were dying to be touched by the other.

"Don't…" He whispered and wrapped his fingers around my chin and brought my stare back into his. I swallowed hard as his lips were closing the gap between us; I felt his lips touch mine but was gone the next moment. He let go of me altogether and stared at me again, like it was my fault. "What are you doing to me?" He asked sounding breathless.

I shook my head and shrugged unsure. I watched as he looked over my face with confusion, he backed up not wanting to, it was shown on his face. I looked away from him and headed for the stairs, I got out of the pool and walked over to the chair and wrapped the towel around myself.

I heard the water drip onto the floor letting me know that Edward was out as well; the towel disappeared from the chair next to me and was wrapped around his body. I cautiously looked over to him, his face no longer confused but flashing a lot of mixed feelings. He looked at me and then brought himself down on the ground. I bent down next to him and put a shaky hand on his shoulder. With only one look he brought me down next to him and leaned against me.

I wrapped my arms around me in attempt to comfort him for whatever he was feeling; he didn't push away so I must have been doing something right. Maybe he isn't as emotionless as I think he is. Regardless what he was feeling, I couldn't help but enjoy holding him.
