Bella's POV

"EMMETT!" Edward and I yelled. We were trying to have a private conversation and Emmett had been listening the whole time. Rude.

Emmett opened the door. "'Sup?"

"What the hell are you doing?" Edward asked. He was angry, he had his arms folded across his chest and his eyebrows were furrowed. He looked so hot when he was angry. I blushed and looked down. This was not the time to be swooning over him.

"Listening to you guys, it's kind of obvious man."

"Well could you just go back home? I'll be back soon."

"If you bail now you'll regret it!"

"SHUT UP!"

Emmett sighed and jumped out my bedroom window. Oh that is not normal. What is it with guys and my bedroom window lately? Once Emmett was gone it was just me and Edward in this uncomfortable silence.

I was trying to think of something to say but all I could think about was how amazing Edward looked in his tight fitted t-shirt. It wasn't making the situation any less awkward. I was suddenly very aware of how close we were and how all I wanted was to rip that shirt off with my teeth. What was wrong with me? Why does he have this effect on me?

"So..." I began. This was so awkward!

"I think maybe I should go..." Edward tried to get up but I grabbed his arm.

"NO!" I yelled. He stopped and looked at me. "I-I mean stay. I'm all alone and it was so nice of you guys to come all the way out here... " Was I flirting with him? I have never been good at flirting. I just felt so uncomfortable but I didn't want Edward to leave.

"Are you sure?" He looked hopeful which made me smile. I'm so glad he wanted to be here as much as I did.

"Positive. Now we what were we talking about?"

"How we like each other."

"Yeah." More silence. Why was this so difficult? Girl likes boy. Boy likes girl. What was the next step? They don't teach you this in school.

"Well actually Bella. I don't like you... I love you."

I turned to look at him. He loved me? I was not expecting that. My first thought was to jump him. But considering I have never even kissed a guy before I didn't see that going well. I couldn't think straight with his golden eyes looking into mine. He was so perfect. Next thing you know words were coming out of my mouth.

"I-I love you too."

Did I really just say that? Did I love him back? Was that a thing? I knew I liked him a lot but was it love? Or was I just crushing hard? I had too many questions. This was all so new to me. Not that I could think much more as Edward smiled and moved closer to me. Then he lifted my chin up with two fingers and kissed me softly. It was so mind-blowing and only lasted a second but boy it was something. I blushed and bit my lip as he pulled away.

I've read a lot about romance and boys and kisses. But it's nothing compared to actually experiencing it. Edward was a dream come true.

"Um..." I was trying to think of something to say. What do people usually say after they kiss someone? "Wow." Smart one Bella he now thinks you're a div. Edward chuckled.

"I know." He then lifted my laptop from beside me and typed a message in and showed me.
