I really liked working this chapter. I got it down pretty easily. Don't worry, I'm definitely continueing this story. Sorry about the Skirts and Stalking ordeal. I suppose it's not official yet, but even so, it wouldn't be updated for a looooong time.

Enjoy!

As usual, Edward was by the edge of the forest with a little lamp held up by his chest as a signal to where he was. The corners of my mouth lifted up into a smile and my pace quickened to get to the safety of Edward's arms quicker.

"Is that him?" Jasper whispered from behind me. My heart jumped and I cursed under my breath, forgetting momentarily that Jasper had come with me on my little "adventure".

"Yes," I gritted through my teeth, suddenly very perturbed with Jasper. Edward opened his arms when he saw me coming but froze when he saw the man, Jasper, walking behind me.

"Jasper Swan," my brother said before we had even come to a complete stop. He didn't bother offering a hand as he watched Edward slowly lower his arms and look towards me for help. His eyes held the question, 'Are we in trouble?'

"Edward, I'd like you to meet my brother, Jasper," I said with the best nothing-is-strange-about-this-situation voice as I could.

Edward dipped his head and offered his hand. "Hello, it's a pleasure," he greeted formally, though I could detect the shock and struggle in his voice.

Jasper stared at the hand like it was a squid. I tried discreetly to elbow him in the side. It wasn't very discreet but he got the idea and reluctantly grabbed Edwards hand to shake.

I tried my best to explain, "Jasper decided to come along—"

"Because I'm a good brother," Jasper cut in," And very protective about my little sister. When I heard she was meeting a man in the forest, well, you could imagine." I was chewing off my lip in nerves. Why did I agree tot his? Because you wanted to see Edward. So let him be killed by Jasper?

"In fact, I can," Edward said, trying to keep a casual look on his face as he spoke to Jasper. "I have a little sister—"

"Older actually," said a high pitched voice. A tiny body popped out from behind the cover of the bushes. "Hello," Alice said as she pranced next to Edward's side. We were all stunned speechless by her sudden and random appearance.

Alice locked her fingers behind her back innocently and twisted her torso. "Incase you didn't catch that," Alice began, speaking towards Jasper, "I'm Alice Cullen, Edwards older sister." Edward rolled his eyes when she said older and mumbled under his breath. He seemed less shocked then anyone else, except Alice of course.

"Alice," Edward grumbled to her, keeping his voice down even though all of us knew Jasper and I could still hear him. "You were supposed to stay home tonight."

"Oh please," Alice tsked. "Since when have I ever listened to you?" I grinned at Edward's reaction which was a look of hopelessness. "Besides I had a vi—feeling I should come."

"And do you often act upon random feelings, Mrs. Cullen?" Jasper asked out of the blue, and again, I found my self startled and my heart racing to hear his voice right next to me.

Alice raised an eyebrow over to Jasper and smirked. "Ms. Cullen thank you, I'm not that easy to take off the market." If I didn't know any better, I'd say she was flirting with my brother. "And yes, I find acting on my feelings puts me in some rather fine situations, wouldn't you think so?"

Edward and I stole a glance at each other, neither one of us understanding how this had suddenly turned into who-could-flirt-with-the-most-class contest.

Jasper stepped forward, gladly taking the challenge. "Would you honestly care to hear my opinion on the matter of acting on feelings?" He rather stated then asked. "I think it's a terrible thing to act on only ones feelings, confusion and accidents happen that way."

"Oh but my dear sir Cullen, confusion and accidents are everywhere you turn, whether it be by feeling or the most complex of detailed instructions."

I was, sadly to admit, lost. And to think I was supposed to be the smart one who'd spent her whole childhood reading these kinds of weird and complex conversations between two characters.

"Although—" before Jasper could begin, I quickly cut him off, not interested in the least to hear what he could come up with next.

"Edward and I are going to start walking now, that's alright with you Jasper?" I asked over my shoulder since I'd already started walking away, grabbing Edward's arm in the process.

Jasper hardly mumbled the ok for me to go before he was off again in another round with Alice.

When we were at a safe distance away, I leaned into Edward's side in fake exhaustion, letting out a nice 'Ugh'. "Well it went better then I though it would, thank God for your sister being there."

Edward snorted. "Although, she could have told me about this 'feeling' before I left."

"But you were coming anyways, so it's not like it would have mattered," I reasoned, though my reasons didn't seem to comfort Edward.

"I must say," Edward grabbed my hand and started leading me through the forest, "I was a bit scared when I saw that man behind you, thought it was your dad."

Giving a sarcastic laugh I said, "Trust me, you'd know if it was my dad."

We walked in silence for a bit more, both of us in our own world of thought. It was a peaceful night tonight, the crickets were louder then ever but the noise started blending into the background once you got accustomed to it. The dense forest top let hardly any moonlight in, but the few streams that made it through, cast eerie, yet beautiful glows to the forest floor.

This was still strange to me, walking in the forest at night, holding the hand of a stranger. Edward wasn't really a stranger, but it's not like we'd know each other for the longest time either and yet, it felt like years. I think I was going to go with Alice on this one; I was going to go with my feelings.

Edward popped out of his trance and asked, "Should I be warned of any other possible family members I'm going to have to meet?" He joked. "A second cousin twice removed perhaps?"

I laughed and took a few quick steps forward so that I could playfully drag him from behind me. He pretended to stumble forward in defeat then stopped and brought me back into the case of his arms. "Where do you think your going?" He whispered down at me as I hit his chest with hardly any force. I was giggling like a school girl but I didn't care anymore. I smiled up at him to find him smiling back.

Like magnets, our head moved towards each other and consequently, our lips as well. It was a small kiss and when we pulled back, it left us wanting more. Edward's hand caressed the side of my face while his other came to my waist. With his hand, he brought my face up as he arched his back and leaned in again, this time with more force. His soft lips pressed against mine in the most sensational way I could ever imagine. No book could beat this.

I let my hands do what they may. One stayed rested on his shoulder while the other ran to the back of his neck, playing with his messy hair. He moved his lips slightly and my heart jumped from the rush of excitement which rolled through me. I played along and moved my lips slightly as well.

We were soon moving and playing, taking short deep breath here and there then diving back in.

If none could have guessed, I'd never really had a childhood of kissing all the boys in town, so I really had no idea what I was doing. But that wasn't exactly what was on my mind as Edward's smooth lips attached to mine.

Edward would move his lips to the upper corner of mine and suck a bit; I would play along and try the same thing out on his.

We even got as far as a little tongue action, until finally, and regretfully, we broke apart, gasping for air.

I was smiling like a maniac, and from the looks of it, Edward was as well. He grabbed my wait and leaned in for one more peck, neither of us being able to handle another full blown out kiss, with our jumpy giddiness and nerves as well as our neglected air supply. When he pulled back, he grinned and whispered, "Want to sit by the lake?"

I bit my lips and nodded, letting him guide me with one arm around my waist towards the lake.

Thanks!
