I own nothing.

Thank you all so much I don't know what to say.

I honestly am so happy you all make me so happy with the reviews and the follows.

Rushing around the next morning making sure I had my hair done and dressed in jeans and a dark green blouse.

I hoped he was here. I took a deep breath after eating okay Bella if he's not here he will be at school its a nice cloudy foggy day.

I walked out and carefully walked down the porch and looked he was. I smiled excitedly and walked to him.

"Would you like to ride with me today?"

"I would love to," I said as I walked over. I had to hold back from kissing him. I slipped into the Volvo and was happy the car was warmed up. I suck my hands up to the heater.

"I brought the jacket, I didn't want you to get sick or something."I smiled at him.

"I'm not that Delicate."He commented back and I didn't let it get to me. I was just so happy.

"Thank you for the ride."

"You welcome. Did you know I was coming?"

"Maybe." I grinned at shook his head with a smile. I looked at his speed.

"Thanks for driving slow for me too," I said then continued "It's still fast but I know you do faster."

"I'm a great driver."

"I know." We pulled into the school parking lot and there was Rosalie's parked and rushed to open the door I of course waited. I smiled.

"Maybe some of these boys can learn what are men to be a gentleman."He scoffed.

"Women around the world can hope." I giggled. I looked at all the guys drooling over Rosalie's car as we walked by.

"Ostentatious isn't it?"

"Yes, but speed and it suits Rosalie well."

"Oh?"

"It's beautiful sleek, fast and there is a lot more going on under the hood than most would think."Edward laughed.

"You complementing her to get her to like you?"I frowned.

"She's not even around, If I wanted her to like me I would tell you to get lost and ignore you. That's not going to happen." I scoffed back.

"But since you breaking all the rules even If I ignored you she would still be mad."He laughed.

"Is there anything you don't know?"I scoffed.

"I don't know the winning lottery numbers you think Alice will give them to me?"

"Do you want them?"

"No, I'm comfortable I'm sure someone else could use it more." My mind jumped to Jake and they had the money it could help with taking care of his dad or maybe if Sam won he could use it to help the wolves. When they need new clothes or shoes.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"Even I know you would pay more than that to know." I grinned at him.

"Would you tell me?"

I shrugged. "I just thought about it is all, I know someone that could use it."

"Maybe you could ask Alice."I shook my head.

"They would never take the money, they are too proud. Even as they go without shoes and shirts." I found as he looked at me with questions in his eyes. I shook my head.

"Bella!"

"Oh no." I looked at Jess and put on a tight smile. I wrapped Edwards's Jacket around me closer.

"Hey," I said slowly.

"Hello, Jessica." Edward greeted her as well causing her eyes to glaze over as he dazzled her. Edward soon grimaced and looked at me. Jess blinked a few times her eyes looking to me to the jacket.

I bit back a smirk.

I looked over her shoulder to see Angela walking to us.

"Hey Ang." I smiled at her genuinely.

"Hey, Bella Edward." She said shyly.

"Well we all better get to class, I have to turn my essay in this morning." I smiled at them and walked away. Edward, I knew beside me. I let out a deep breath. Jess would be waiting to speak to me in class and I wasn't looking forward to it at all.

"So what are you going to tell her."

I groaned. "That's what I was thinking."

"Yes well, that's what she's thinking and is excited to ambush you in class."

I huffed. "What does she want to know and What should I say?"

"That's not fair."

"No, you not saying what you know is unfair what if I'm not prepared and say the wrong thing."

"Well." He seemed to think for a moment and then told me what she was thinking.

"What should I tell her?"

"Well saying we are together is easier than anything else."

My heart was trying to beat out of my chest as he lifted a lock of my hair and pushed it over my shoulder then rested his hand on my clothes shoulder.

I raised an eyebrow. "Okay but if that's your way of asking that's kind of sly of you."

He smirked.

"Should I ask in front of everyone at lunch?"

I cringed "No"

He laughed.

I shook my head and looked at his hand that was resting on my shoulder.

"Oh, I should have asked to get my Jacket so you can have yours back," I said as I looked at his jacket I hope I sounded genuinely upset.

"Don't worry about it. It will help with the story."

I smiled and nodded.

Ones we came to the door of my first class Edward let me know he would be listening in on Jessica and I's conversation.

He flashed his crooked smile and walked away.

"See you at Lunch." He called over his shoulder.

I blushed as everyone turned to look at me.

I headed into class.

I sat down and of course, Mike was there in his usual seat beside me today.

"Hello Bella," Mike said eyes the jacket I was wearing.

I wonder if he knew who it belonged to.

"Hi, Mike," I said

"So you went to Port Angeles yesterday?" Mike looked curious.

" Yes it was great Jessica got a cute dress."

"Yeah, did she say anything about Monday night?" He asked.

"Yes, she said she had a good time."

"She did?" He said his eyes bright.

"Most Definitely."

The teacher started class and we turned in our Essays he went over some of the points we should have done for our topic and things we could have done.

I noticed some kids taking notes I assume they hadn't done the Essay.

I smirked if they paid attention Mr Mason had said he wouldn't give anyone another day if you didn't turn it in on time dont turn it in at all.

Class dismissed and I headed out Mike walked up to me.

"Hey Bella is that your jacket?"

"Oh um." I blushed "No it's Edward Cullens."

"What why do.."

"I have to get to class Mike." I interrupted and hurried off.

I noticed people staring at me in the halls as I walked some girl's eyes widened as I passed. I'm sure they recognized the jacket.

I saw Alice and she said hi when she passed me I gave my usual smile and waved back.

When I walked into Trig Jessica was all but vibrating in her seat.

Once I sat down she started.

I told her the same story as last night I got lost he pulled up and offered me a ride.

I told her he bought dinner and I said the waitress and host flirted but he ignored them I didn't say anything about me telling her he didn't swing that way.

I told her he drives like a crazy person.

"Ok, but he picked you up today?"

"Well I forgot my jacket in your car and he didn't want me to go without one."

"Oh, I didn't see it."

"It's in the back, He came so I didn't get sick he said."

"That's so sweet he must like you."

"Well, he might." I shrugged. I knew that would get to him.

"What about you?"

"What about me?" I asked.

"Bella, do you like him?"

"mmhmm," I played like I was thinking.

"Bella" Jessica huffed at me.

I laughed.

"Ok." I sighed and then looked her right in the eye. "He's considerate, a gentleman I mean who still holds open doors, He is smart, and he's got amazing tastes in music, we have that and books in common, also though he says I can be hard to read I feel like he can read me just by looking at me"

"Wait reads you, you mean?" She looked at me with bright excited eyes.

I smiled and nodded.

"You're dating Edward Cullen?"

I giggled and nodded.

"Bella have you kissed him yet?"

"Jess we just started seeing each other and if I did I wouldn't kiss and tell that private."

"Bella don't be proud he's hot."

I playfully shoved her. "I told you looks are not everything."

"Okay Okay but you like him like really really like him."

"Yes I hope he likes me as much as I like him we could be even or I could like him just a bit more at the moment as you know girls fall first."

"Don't I know it, boys can be so slow."

I laughed and nodded.

"Well talking about boys and slow, Mike asked me today what You said about your date."

"What?" And with that, I was giving Jessica a play-by-play of my conversation with Mike.

When the bell rang I rushed to get my stuff in my bag.

"Are you sitting with him at lunch?"

"Yes," I said.

Walking out of class Edward was there waiting.

Jessica saw him and walked away.

"See you later Bella." She called out.

"Hello." He greeted.

"Hi."

We walked to the cafeteria.

Everyone we passed stopped to stare I kept my head down and blushed.

I was proud to be beside him but I still didn't like to be the center of attention.

I got a light lunch knowing I could take from his plate and of course, he was loading it up.

I rolled my eyes.

We walked over to the empty table we sat at before.

He mentions Jessica's and our conversation.

I frowned here it comes.

He goes over everything and then gets to the parts I knew he wouldn't like.

"What you said to Jessica I don't quite understand or like."

"Well, when You eavesdrop you will hear things you don't like," I said matter of fact

"I said I would be listening."

"If you hadn't walked off I would have said that was a bad idea."

"Still, You think You care more for me than I you?"

I looked at him and I looked at my hands.

"It's not that."

"Then what is it."

"Well, how can you care for someone when you don't know them."

"Yet you think you care more?"

"I know you," I said and looked him in the eyes head-on.

He stared at me.

"You're wrong."

"We can agree to disagree."

He frowned.

"Or you can ask Jasper." I smiled.

"You think you can win if we ask him? What could he know?"

I rolled my eyes and looked at his family they seemed to be looking at me expectantly and Jasper looked confused.

Then back to him.

"You didn't tell them."

Edward looked at his family and then back to me.

I shook my head."It's not just about you Edward."

"I you should just like." He shook his head."Bella, it's alright."

"Is it?" I asked.

He looked to his family again then to me and he sighed.

I rolled my eyes. "Well like I was saying now that the cat is out of the bag no thanks to would know how I feel. Just as Alice knows you are stubborn when she doesn't see anything bad happening."

He looked at me with shock.

"Also I didn't say that I would win, just you would know if you asked him."

He looked at me again for a long moment.

I looked at his family Rosalie was glaring Emmett was looking at her, I'm sure trying to calm her.

Alice smiled I looked to Jasper and he held a deep frown.

"I wouldn't tell anyone I wouldn't hurt any of you," I said lowly.

I looked back to Edward and he stared deep into my eyes.

I soon broke away from his stare as I thought of something.

"I'm curious?" I said with a smirk to get back at him for his eavesdropping and for not telling his family and giving them a heads up.

"About?'

"Well if someone dared you to eat that could you?" I looked at the pizza on his plate.

He grimaced but took a bite.

"If someone dared you to eat dirt could you?" He said.

"I have before but it wasn't a slimy, chunky glob that would sit in my stomach till I dispel it. once I could take a drink It was better."

His eyes widened in shock. "Wait you?"

"Oh I knew but I still wanted to see you eat it in person." I giggled and took a bite of my salad.

I heard Emmett laugh and Alice's tinkling giggle.

"That wasn't nice Miss Swan." He said lowly.

"Awe I'm sorry Mr. Cullen do tell me, will you punish me." I batted my eyes and was seductive.

He froze looking at me with wide eyes and I lost it and burst out laughing.

"Your face. You do need to lighten up a bit Edward honestly The world won't end if you had some fun or maybe did something a 17-year-old would do."

I smiled.

"Like what? Shoplift?" He snorted.

I rolled my eyes. "You've stolen before."

"Oh, so I have acted 17." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"I forgot yes you have acted like a teenage boy. Though more of a creepy teenage boy but I'll let it pass since you're stunted." I smirked

"Stunted? What do you mean?" He said his face confused his brow creased.

"Like you coming into my room at night," I smirked

He looked down and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Um you know"

I raised an eyebrow.

I could hear his siblings if I didn't I knew they were listening and some were enjoying this.

"It's easier to be around you when I don't go long periods from your sent."

"Because I'm your singer."

"Singer?"

"It means my blood sings to you It's rare and you might be the only one ever that has resisted. Most would say you are wasting your gift.

"How do you know that?"

"I just know things," I said shrugging.

"Oh, I forgot to ask did you enjoy your time with your guests?" I looked to Edward then moved my eyes to Alice and Jasper and nodded my head.

"Are guests yes and how did you know we would have guests?"

I shrugged.

"You are so frustrating you know."

I looked at my hands.

"You're like Alice?"

"I could never be that awesome," I smirked and laughed.

I shrugged.

"She sees different outcomes and decisions I sadly see one future and well if it has changed I don't know that I only see it once and can't reset I'm not sure if it's cause I always change it or if it's set in stone."

I looked at my hands unsure if I should let him know anything else.

"What do you see?" Edward saved me from my decisions by the question.

"You. since I woke." I looked up to meet his eyes then. "It's always you."

His face looked on with wonder and a softness in his eyes that I couldn't miss.

"Well, I've seen flashes of Alice too we are going to be best friends. I needed to know not to buy too many outfits and leave room in my closet for when you would finally let her meet me," I smirked.

Then a squeal was heard from across the canteen.

I giggled. "No one has to be psychic to know a shopping tip is coming "

I would spend more time with Alice. I'll suck it up on this whole no-gift thing this time around, it will be easier to give in.

"You should be scared," Edward smirked.

"Trust me I am," I said.

"I don't like shopping," I said as I looked over to my sister who smiled at me. "But I love Alice." I finished. I made sure to push my emotions out for what I felt for her to Jasper so he knew I could never be a threat and to help warm him to me.

I saw Jasper look at me his face was calm Alice was bouncing in her seat. I waved. She waved enthusiastically back.

"You'll need to let us have a proper meeting soon," I said as I turned back to Edward.

he pinched the bridge of his nose with a pained expression.

"she won't let up and I won't either."

"Not today." He said and looked at Alice.

"Only child syndrome you don't like to share." I giggled.

I looked at Alice and rolled my eyes.

"Soon," I said.

She nodded.

I stood up.

"Come on we will be late for class and today will be interesting." I giggled.

He took his and my trays and dumped them.

I took a deep breath and then reached for his arm linking ours together.

"It will be okay." I smiled.

He looked at me uneasily but smiled.

We walked to class.

I broke the no-touching before the class just so he could loosen up.

We walked into Biology he let my arm go to pull out my chair.

I blushed.

I know he enjoyed being a gentleman that he could use the old upbrings that his mother and father had taught him.

I won't let the things that bothered me before come into play this time.

I'm just going to love him I'm going to enjoy every moment with him.

I'm not going to think about how perfect he is and how I'm not.

In the end, it will be him and I that is all that matters.

I sat down and I smiled at him.

"So you said this will be interesting?" he raised an eyebrow at me in question.

"Well, maybe interesting wasn't the word," I said slowly.

"You sure it's today?"

Mr Banner walked in rolling in the TV and a VCR.

"Yes," I said and bit my lip.

Before you knew it the lights were off and the static electricity sparked like a live wire in the room.

My mind only registered he was so close to me but not close enough.

I looked to him not able to focus on the screen as I knew I wouldn't.

His hands were balled into fists tightly crossed over his chest.

I sighed and his eyes looked to me with a burning passion.

I set my hand on the table palm up.

"It would be easier," I said quietly.

He looked at me then at my hand. his face was fearful.

"It will be okay."

He hesitantly reached one hand out and it was just a mere inch above my palm.

I decided to be brave and lift my hand so that I could clasp mine in his.

A spark shot between us.

"It doesn't bother me. It feels nice." Reassuring him that the cold didn't bother me.

We can hold hands without the world ending.

His cold hand was warming up with the heat from my hand. I moved our hands so that they lay vertically on the table I intertwined our fingers and squeezed his hand.

I looked at him and I saw with a flash of the TV that his eyes were dark.

We stared at each other for a long moment.

His eyes then snapped to the front.

I looked over reluctantly to the TV.

I squeezed his hand again.

His thumb after a while started to slowly move back and forth on the back of my hand.

I smiled.

The lights went on and the class had ended.

I looked at him.

"Well yes, that was interesting." He murmured.

I took a deep breath.

"Shall we?"

He walked me to the Gym. We still had our hands clasped together.

I couldn't be happier.

I saw Alice and winked.

She giggled and I saw Jasper beside her he looked on with an interested expression.

I'm sure Edwards and my emotions are the reason for that.

I was happy, Happy, and in love.

This man beside me was my life, my future.

Once we got to the gym door.

I turned to him.

His eyes were light and I could see his war inside.

"It's okay." I squeezed his hands."You're not making any mistakes here It's okay."

He looked at me with a vulnerable look.

"I promise. Trust me." I smiled.

"I'll see you at the end of class. Have fun with Emmett give him a play-by-play." I shrugged.

I knew he laughed at my clumsyness even if he tried to be kind and Emmett well he would tease me anyway and let them have their laughs.

He looked confused but shook his head let my hand go and walked off.

I got ready for gym taking one more sniff of the jacket secretly and then locking it away in my locker.

Mike of course offered to be my partner and I tried not to hurt myself but honestly didn't try too hard to avoid Mike.

I didn't hit myself but did clip Mike twice and under-served and hit him with that as well.

I bit my lip trying to look sheepish but it was funny.

The coach finally turned away and I stayed on the sidelines.

"You okay?" I asked Mike after he won the game.

"Yeah, are you?"

"Yes sorry, I'm bad at this."

"It's not your fault."

"So um you and Cullen huh?"

"Yup," I said happily.

"I don't like it."

"That's okay you're not dating him."

He looked taken back then started again.

"He looks at you like you have something to eat it's weird."

I left to change.

I headed out finding Edward standing there waiting.

"How was class?" I smiled.

"Nothing new." He said, "How was yours?"

I raised an eyebrow. "You tell me."

He smirked then it fell as he looked over my shoulder and narrowed his eyes.

"Mike is getting on my nerves." He grumbled.

"He's not important." I reached for his hand.

Edward smiled and took my hand.

"So did you and Emmett enjoy it?" I shook my head as we walked to the car.

I heard a booming laugh. "I'll take that as a yes." I laughed.

"You heard him?"

"I know Emmetts laugh it hunts my nightmares." I winked jokingly at Edward.

He shook his head and laughed.

I looked to see all the guys drooling over Rosalie's car.

"It's nice isn't it?"

"Your Austin is better." I smiled.

"You know about my Austin?" He looked surprised.

I smiled and winked.

I walked over to Jessica.

"Hey, may I get my jacket?" I asked

"yeah yeah of course."

Jessica turned and we followed.

"I should have gotten it for you at lunch poor Edward didn't have a jacket all day," Jess commented as she walked.

"I was alright. It looks good on Bella." I smiled brightly.

"Don't worry Jess I'll make sure he doesn't catch a cold."

I giggled under my breath and I heard him snort beside me.

Jessica got my jacket I thanked her and we headed to Edward's car.

He drove me home it was comfortable in the car and he held my hand the whole way.

I smiled.

This I had missed and was so happy to get it back.

We talked for a bit once he parked and too soon he had to go.

We said goodbye and I went inside to make dinner.
