I stared blankly at the script, as I saw Edward's smile fade from beside me. Although the grimace forming on my face was legit, somewhere - in the very back of my mind - I was hollering with joy.

"It's the kissing scene," Edward muttered.

"I know," I sighed, disbelief clear in my voice.

"I can try again," he offered, placing his fingers under the next page.

"No, no, it's okay... We'll have to do it eventually. No point in holding off the inevitable. Besides, we did make a deal."

"Are you sure?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow up as he turned to look at me.

My heart began to pound but I kept a straight face as I nodded.

"Okay," he breathed as he flipped my script to the correct page and handed it back to me. As he held his hand out to hand me the paper, I saw his hand was shaking.

I held my hand out to take it, and noticed my hand was shaking, too. I had never kissed a guy. I'd never had a guy to kiss.

What if I was horrible? What if I chased him away?

A million thoughts and worries filled my head as Edward placed his arm around my shoulders as it instructed in the script.

"Your line," he said, glancing at the script. I pulled my eyes away from his face down to my own script, and took a deep breath before beginning.

"This isn't right," I sighed, reading my lines.

"What do you mean?" he asked - his line.

"This. Us," I gestured between us.

"Why?" his eyebrows furrowed.

"What are people going to think? Mason, what if your sister gets even worse towards me when she finds out? I don't think I would handle that!"

I looked down and let a single tear drop down my face. Edward brushed his fingers down my cheekbone and then under my chin to lift my head up.

"Serenity. I can't pretend to know how it felt when my sister did that stuff. But I know one thing. You're the world to me now, and I will never let anyone do that to you again. I love you."

Even though I knew we were acting - even though I knew this was Mason-Serenity bonding - I couldn't help but fall for Edward when he said that. Something in his eyes made it seem like he was saying it more to me - like it was meant for me.

Before I prepared myself properly, Edward leaned in and pressed his lips gently to mine. It was the best sensation I had ever experienced - better than the best.

I could do this all day! My mind cried out.

I tugged at the hair on the back of his neck as he cupped my face, keeping me in place.

Like I would move!

I have no idea how much time passed before we pulled away, but no matter how long it was it wasn't enough.

We were both breathing a bit heavier than usual as we stared at each other.

A few moment passed before he broke the silence.

"That was..."

"Wow," I breathed.

"Yeah," he whispered.

Silence.

I sat up straight on the couch again, fiddling with a lock of my hair. I picked up my cup of water on the table he had gotten me and took a sip.

"Seems like you've had a lot of practice," he mumbled.

I scoffed, choking on my water.

"What?!" I laughed.

"You have, haven't you?" he was confused.

"I've never had a boyfriend, let alone a first kiss." I admitted, wiping the water from my mouth.

"So that was your first kiss?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yup," I said, popping the 'p'.

"Huh."

A few moments passed until I couldn't hold back the question anymore.

"How many kisses have you done?"

"None," he said.

"What? How is that even possible?"

"I've never liked anyone, and I would never be involved in a one night stand. So, I've never kissed anyone." he shrugged.

"Or a girlfriend?"

"Nope,"

"W-o-w," I enunciated each letter like a syllable. Edward and I shared our first kiss today - with each other.

--=+=+=--

"How was it?" Rosalie squealed. It had been hours since the practicing, and I was back home now.

"It was... the best thing ever, Rose! I could do it all day! It was like... two puzzle pieces - like our lips were meant for each other! I swear!" I spilled. I couldn't deny it anymore, that's for sure:

I love Edward Cullen.
