School past quickly. Edward and I walked quietly between classes; I was still embarrassed from Carlisle's little chat with our health class. Edward seemed ok with his father giving every senior the talk, but I couldn't look him in the eye. I'm sure he wasn't half as embarrassed as I was, but I was glad that he understood that I needed a little time until I was comfortable around guys in general again.

The last bell of the day was music to my ears! That was, until I remembered I had to go home to Charlie. I subconsciously grabbed my purse a little tighter on my shoulder. I really hoped he would just let me go up to my room and not make this day any worse. I was wrong of course.

Edward drove me home as usual. I was determined not to look into his eyes, but he had other plans. "Bella, you don't have to talk to him you know." I looked over at him he was looking at me with one hand on the stirring wheel. I wasn't afraid of him crashing his silver Volvo no; more about the blush that I knew was creeping up my neck.

"I know, but he will bring it up! He is the one who asked Carlisle to… talk to all the seniors, more like us."

He smiled a little and said, "Don't be embarrassed love, we're not… sleeping together." I rolled my eyes at that but chuckled a little too. I wouldn't mind if we were… sleeping together, but he has made it clear that it's "too dangerous" for us to be intimate.

"Yea, I know that, but obviously he doesn't. I have told him before that we're not, telling him again won't do anything." He actually laughed at that. I glared over at him that little laugh just confirmed that he had been listening to Charlie when he was giving me the talk. Obviously he thought something had changed between now and then.

The Volvo came to a stop outside my house. "Edward, what is he thinking?" I looked from him to my house and back to him nervously.

He sighed, "He is thinking about what Carlisle talked to us about and how to ask you about it without looking like he knew about it." He reached his hand out and put a few strands of hair out of my face and behind my ear. I smiled unbuckling my seat belt and leaned towards him. The kiss was short but sweet and as always, left me wanting more. He pulled away and whispered, "Charlie is watching and already thinks the worst. You better get inside before he points a gun at me." I knew he meant it as a joke, but I had a feeling that he was relaying my father's thoughts.

"I love you." He said before pulling out of the driveway. "Love you too!" I said as he disappeared from sight. I waited outside a few more moments than were strictly necessary, but I was not looking forward to seeing Charlie. I walked in, thinking I could be quiet and slip past him without him seeing me. That was a dumb idea; he was standing only a few feet away from the door. He was frowning a little when I said, "Hey dad." awkwardly.

He looked at me for a moment than said, "Hey how was school, anything interesting happen?" I stared at him. So, this was his "smooth" way of asking if Carlisle had come over to my school today.

I tried to look him in the eye while I said, "No, nothing special. Why?" but I failed miserably and I could tell that he knew Carlisle had come.

His frown changed into a satisfied smile. "No reason, can't a dad ask his daughter if she had a good day at school?" I thought about that condom I had in my purse again. I wondered if that was Charlie's idea too.

"Yea, but we both know that's not why you asked." I whispered. I have no idea why I said it, but I had and I had to deal with the consequences. "You want to know if Carlisle came to my health class. Well, he did, I'm guessing that you're the one who asked him to come right? Well, dad I'm upset that you don't trust me! I told you that Edward and I aren't sleeping together!" I was blushing terribly but Charlie had to know that I was more trustworthy than he gave me credit for.

Charlie looked down at the mention of sex, but didn't apologize or drop the subject. Instead, he said very quietly, "Bella, I found his shirt in your room, you were late for curfew a few nights ago, and you're teenagers!" he was no longer looking down and his voice had gotten louder. "I'm not blind Isabella; I can put two and two together."

He had used my first name; he only ever used it when he wanted to make a point or was mad. I looked him in the eye this time when I spoke, "Dad, Edward let me borrow his shirt to sleep in because I asked him to, I was late coming home because Alice was playing Bella Barbie with me, and just because we're teenagers doesn't mean we have to sleep together! I have already told you that we're not, how did you put it? "Physically involved" about a month ago, but you still don't believe me!" I was fuming but I tried not to raise my voice.

Charlie didn't look very convinced, but just nodded his head and said a quiet "sorry" and left the room to sit on the sofa. I heard the T.V. turn on as I climbed the stairs. In my room I did my homework and studied. Well, I tried to study my mind was racing with so much that I found it impossible to even try. I looked over at my clock 5:05 was the time. It was too early for Edward to come by. I shied to myself the only thing I could think to do was start dinner.

I was heading to the kitchen when I noticed the T.V. was off and Charlie wasn't on the coach. I walked closer to the kitchen and heard Charlie talking on the phone. I know it wasn't polite but I crouched by the door to eavesdrop on his conversation.

Charlie: Carlisle, are you sure she got one?

Carlisle: Yes Charlie, but I don't believe they are sexually active.

Charlie: their teenagers! How do we know that they aren't lying to us?

Carlisle: their good kids Charlie! If you keep thinking Bella is lying to you then she might want to rebel.

Charlie: but their just kids! Look, I appreciate you going in and talking to their class. I don't know if Renee told her enough about the subject and I don't think I did a very good job either.

Carlisle: it's no problem Charlie. If you need anything else, just call.

I stood up quickly and tried to make t look like I was coming down the stairs, but I tripped over my own feet and ended up face down on the floor.

Charlie was out of the kitchen in seconds and helping me up. "Bell's are you ok?" he looked so concerned that I forgot to be mad at him.

"Yea dad I'm fine, I just tripped. You know, two left feet." I laughed a little and so did he.

"Yea, you get that from your mother." He let go of my hand once I was steady on my feet. "Look Bell's, I'm sorry I didn't trust you before. I'm just worried that you'll wind you like your mother and me."

Ah I thought, the truth comes out. "Dad I can't promise you that, but I can honestly say that I don't think that will happen. And you don't need to worry about the sleeping together thing, like I told you a while back; Edward is very set on marriage before sex. So am I, but I wish I didn't have to tell you that, I just want you to trust me when I tell you that we're not. I understand that you want to protect your baby girl but you just have to trust me to keep myself safe. And to trust Edward, he is a very trustworthy person."

He didn't look very convinced about the part about Edward, but I had given up on him being friendly with my boyfriend a long time ago. "Ok Bell's I'll leave you be. I trust you enough to know what's right for you. I… I love you." If I didn't know any better, I could have sworn I saw a tear in his eye.

I wrapped my arms around him "Thank you dad, I love you too!" I breathed into his ear. He was taken aback from the gesture, but hugged me back. We parted at the same time and went our separate ways. Me to the kitchen and him to the T.V.

I made pasta and ate it quickly, going up to my room. Edward was on my bed waiting for me. "Hello Love, how did your chat with Charlie go?"

"Ok I guess, but I bet you were listening in anyway." I said sitting down beside him.

He laughed and kissed my forehead and pulled me on his lap. "You caught me. But I think it went as well as it could have." I snuggled closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"I guess you're right." I said looking up at him. "I'm sorry I was too embarrassed to talk to you this afternoon, I was being silly. I'm not embarrassed that we had the talk today, more like that Charlie thinks we are."

He kissed my cheek affectionately, "I understand love, but he believes you now. You were very persuasive."

"Thanks." I murmured before kissing him. He kissed me back more passionately than I thought he would. Our lips were perfect for each other I thought, every time they collided it sent chills down my spine, and it wasn't his body temperature.

He pulled away first letting me breath and said, "We have school tomorrow, better get some sleep love." I sighed but nodded.

I got up and pulled out my PJ's, a tank top and warm sweat pants, and started to undress. "Bella, what are you doing?" Edward asked.

"Getting changed, what does it look like?" I wanted to tease him a little, I wish I had the night gown Renee got me from Victoria's Secret, but I don't so whatever. I already had my shirt off and he was being the gentleman he was and looked away, I rolled my eyes a little.

"Can't you do that in the bathroom?"

"I already brushed my teeth and went to the bathroom, so I might as well change in here. Don't you like the view?" I joked a little

His eyes softened a little and held his arms open when I was done. "Of coarse I do. I just don't want to see everything before we're married." Married I thought, he was bringing that word up again.

"Well you were closing your eyes anyway, so I guess you don't have to worry about it." I said putting an end to talking about my worst fear.

He pulled me under the blankets as we talked. "Good night Bella." He whispered and kissed my head.

"Nigh Edward, I love you." I whispered back blowing him a kiss.

"I love you more than you will ever know Love." Was the last thing I heard before falling into a peaceful slumber, my dreams revolving around my soul mate.
