Growing More

Chapter 19: ????

(A/N: this chapter is going to suck because I am exhausted, but I hope you like it anyway! ^^^^FOREVERMORE... This song will be important in this chapter.)

Bella's POV:

"Why does it matter where Sweden is?!" I sighed exasperatedly.

"Here, look," Edward said, flipping my book to the correct page. I scanned through it and wrote down the correct answer grudgingly.

"Thank you, Sir I-Know-Everything," I muttered, reading my next homework question.

"You're cute when you're annoyed," he teased, kissing my nose.

I rolled my eyes and looked up the next answer.

When we finished out homework, Esme called us down to eat. She made spaghetti with some Italian bread.

I sat next to Edward and he placed his hand on my thigh while we ate.

"So... are you guys a thing again?" Alice asked excitedly, bouncing in her chair. Everyone rolled their eyes.

"If I tell you, you can't force me on a shopping trip for a month." I said, smirking evilly. She pouted.

"Ugh, fine," she sighed.

"Yes, we are dating, then," I said, looking at Edward. He was looking at me with a small smile playing on his lips.

Oh, how I want to kiss him...

I shook my head violently, dispelling the thoughts that clouded up my head.

Soon I finished my dinner, and Edward took my plate up for me.

"Shall we go?" he murmured in my ear when he came back.

"Where?" I whispered, aware that everyone was watching curiously.

"Our rooms, of course," he breathed, his breath tickling my skin.

"Okay," I sighed, and he intertwined our fingers before pulling me upstairs.

When we got up there, he sat me down on my bed and sat down in front of me. I was up against the wall, and he placed his hands next to my head, trapping me in the oh-so-familiar cage.

I smelled his warm, heart-stopping scent emanating off of him as he was less than a few inches from my face.

"You're driving me crazy," I breathed, closing my eyes and trying to slow my heart.

"No, you're driving me crazy," he said, kissing along my jaw.

"Just kiss me already," I blurted, and he froze in his tracks. I saw him smirk, and he pulled away, but he kept his hands in place on the wall.

"In time, love," he smiled, and then he dropped his arm from the wall.

He stroked my cheek before taking both of my hands and pulling me off the bed. He twirled me once before pulling me into a comfortable embrace.

Edward's POV:

"Alice, are you done yet?" I asked her again.

"I'm no farther along than fifteen second ago," she sighed, flinging the tablecloth over the glass table. It was a white tablecloth that draped over the sides of the circular table perfectly.

I opened up the bag of fresh rose petals and strew them nicely all over the table. Emmett put down the beautifully crafted plates facing each other, and Rosalie brought the chairs that were woven with birch and white wood twigs.
