Kiss at Twilight

Chapter Thirteen - One. Two. Three makes awkward?

Home room and Art are uneventful. Thankfully. Next is English class with Jacob.

It seems like he's finding reasons to touch me today. My arm, my back. Anywhere he can graze my skin he does it. I'm finding that I don't mind one bit. Every time he does I feel that delicious little buzz under my skin. I'm starting to think he definitely feels it too.

Next is Trig with Edward AND Jacob. I have NO IDEA how this is going to go.

Jacob and I arrive to class together and sit in our same seats from yesterday. A few minutes later Edward enters. Making direct eye contact with me. Memories from last night come rushing back and my body immediately warms.

I'm sure I'm blushing. Like I said; permanent shade of red at this point.

He takes the empty seat next to me. I need to ask him questions but I'm not sure how to do that with Jacob on my other side.

I chance a glance at Jacob. He doesn't look nearly as pissed as he did yesterday. Maybe that's a good sign?

I scribble a quick note to Edward. "Why were you in my room last night?"

I slide it onto his desk. I take another peek at Jacob to see if he noticed. He's giving me a cheeky little grin. What the hell is going on?

I look over to Edward and he's smiling down at my note. He slides it back onto my desk after writing something. I open the note.

"I'll tell you tonight. When I come back."

"Uh excuse me?!" I blurt out loud before I can stop myself. Everyone at their desk turns to me. Blushing I look down. Kill me now please.

The rest of class I keep my head down taking notes. The embarrassment burning my face.

I feel a hand caress my cheek, chilling the burn. At the same time, a hand on my shoulder to the right. I freeze. The sensation of both Jacob and Edward touching me; fire and ice. My breath stutters in my chest.

The bell rings and I jump up, grabbing my stuff and booking it to the door.

"Bianca wait up!"

I slow my pace a little. Not wanting Jacob screaming down the hall as I walk to my next class.

He catches up and throws his arm over my shoulders. "You okay Bi?"

"Yea I'm fine, sorry I rushed out. Just uh..not feeling well, a little flushed."

"I can see that." He says with a laugh.

I elbow him in the ribs. He laughs harder, rubbing at the spot. We continue our walk to chem in silence. My thoughts going haywire. Jacob hated Edward yesterday. Now today they're being chummy?

I have more questions then answers at this point.

We make it to chem and split up to take our seats. Edward already waiting. He speaks before I even settle my books on the table.

"You have the loveliest blush when you're embarrassed."

I frown at that. My bottom lip poking out slightly.

"Oh please don't make that face. You'll break my heart." Edward reaches over and smooths the frown line between my brows. Such a small gesture and yet. It still makes a small shiver snake down my spine.

He pulls his hand back. A small smile playing on his lips.

I huff out an exasperated sigh. Looking to the front of the class. "I'm not talking to you until you tell me what's going on and why you were in my room last night."

"I told you. I'll tell you tonight. Make sure papa bear won't interrupt us this time."

Should I even entertain this craziness? I want information, but my mom specifically told me to stay away from him. Oh! I have an idea.

"Fine, come by tonight. But I won't be alone. Jacob will be there as well."

"I don't mind your pup being there." He says, his head tilting.

"Oh..oh okay." I thought he would be more against the idea. It seemed like he wanted to be alone with me. Maybe he isn't as dangerous as my mom thinks then.

I can't be too careful though. First and foremost; always protect my gift.

Also, why call Jacob a pup? He doesn't follow me around THAT much does he. I look over at Jacob. Catching his eye and smiling at him.

He sure does have those sweet puppy dog eyes though.

The rest of class goes by quickly. Keeping quiet for most of it. My thoughts warring.

Trust Edward or not? Feelings for two boys. Hide my gifts. Edward being something called a cold one. I have no idea what to do.

I just have to get through the rest of class and then I'll find out later tonight.

Lord pray for me. What am I getting myself into?
