I had a LOT of fun writing this! My hands are aching my typing so much! Please review if you like it, or even if you don't. I haven't ever written a series before, so yes I'm a rookie. :) Well, let's do this thing!

"Emmett, I already told you I don't want you to set me up on a blind date! You set me up once already, you got your chance. I wouldn't talk to you for a week after that!" I huffed after flinging my pillow across the room and slamming into Emmett. It fell to the floor in a heap and Emmett's grin only got wider as I sat down on the white leather couch scowling with my hands crossed against my chest.

"Come on little sis, was it really that terrible?" I rolled my eyes; it had been the absolute worst date of my life. I had a feeling Emmett picked him on purpose just to make me miserable. Of course, something good came out of it too…

*Flashback*

As soon as I saw David, or as I like to call him, BO Dave, driving his car, I was NOT impressed. He drove up the driveway in a beat up brown Hummer H2 with scratches and dents spontaneously spread out along the entire car. One of the back windows was taped up, and I could hear the pounding of his radio most likely on the loudest setting available. I was peeking through the curtains staring with my mouth hanging open. He jumped out of his car, with a bouquet of really cheap looking flowers, and I quickly saw him grab a tiny little bottle of breath spray and squirt it into his mouth. Great, he's going to try to kiss me all night. I turned around and glared at Emmett. I barely heard BO Dave knocking, as I was almost deaf thanks to his radio. Unfortunately Emmett walked over to the front door, and I felt all my hope of maybe faking illness disappear. When Emmett opened the door, an ever so small breeze fluttered in, and I immediately choked at the stench that was now let into my house. BO Dave flashed a set of crooked, yellowed teeth right at me when Emmett pointed in my direction. You will pay big bro. BIGTIME. I nervously walked up to the door, and Dave practically shoved the flowers in my face. They smelled like beer and gasoline. They were obviously bought at a gas station. I tried to hide my gagging and did my best to smile at him. Emmett's laugh boomed through the house so loud I thought I couldn't hear BO Dave's radio on anymore. He grabbed the flowers out of my hands, winked at me, and then walked into the kitchen to hopefully throw those in the trash. BO Dave finally spoke.

"You must be tired." He gave me a mischievous grin and kissed my hand. I swear I threw up a little.

"What? Why?" I asked. Now he's going to give my some cheesy pick up line. This just gets better and better.

"Cause you've been running through my mind all day…" I almost laughed at his stupidity. That was the worst line I've ever heard in my life. I didn't really know what to say, because first I'd probably just start laughing, and second because I wanted to stall the date as long as possible. Without another word, he grabbed my hand and practically dragged me into his car. The thundering music made talk impossible, so he pressed a big round button, and the silence that followed was deafening. He rolled down his window and mine, and then I realized as I took my next breath that the horrible stench from earlier was coming from HIM. He had pit stains the size of a cow, I almost opened my door and jumped out of the car. Oh no, he's going to talk to me now.

"So…. You're the famous Bella Swan, eh? My name's David. But you can call me Dave." He sent another yellow smile my way, I was sure the car next to us slowed down. Man this guy's got some serious BO. BO Dave and Bella. Now THAT sounds like the name of a couple, I thought sarcastically. He was waiting for me to speak, so I tried breathing through my mouth so I could say something.

"Yup, that's me. So BO….. I mean Dave, what do you do for a living?" I took a gulp, waiting for his sure to be horrible answer to come.

"Well, I'm a sanitary engineer, which means I am what you people would say is a, garbage man." He announced proudly.

"Wow that must require a lot of skill." I lied, and almost chuckled at how he said it. You would think he would sound embarrassed, but instead it seemed like he would rather eat dirt for the rest of his life than switch jobs.

"Finally someone understands! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be in this industry." I saw the restaurant come into view and gave a sigh of relief. I needed to get outside so I could breathe fresh air.

"Well, we're here. Let's hurry in before those other people get in front of us!" He popped out of the car within a second, and ran at full speed inside. I started laughing hysterically. He obviously forgot we had a reservation. I opened the car door, which groaned and squeaked. I grabbed my purse and walked into the restaurant still chuckling quietly to myself. BO Dave was nowhere to be found, so I walked up to the front desk and said I had a reservation.

"Under what name?"

Crap. What's his last name?

"Well, the first name is David." I mumbled feeling idiotic that I didn't know this vital piece of information.

"Ah, yes. For six o'clock. Please follow me." He said as he guided me through the tables. I sat down at the booth he put the menus on, and started people watching as I waited for BO Dave to come out of his hiding spot wherever it was. I accidentally locked eyes with the a completely and utterly gorgeous man. His hair was a perfect disarray of his beautiful bronze hair. His green eyes were what stood out the most. They were striking and his lips curved up into a smile, and waved at me like we were old buddies. I stared at him like an idiotic, when to my surprise he whispered to the girl he was sitting next to, and got up making his way to my table. The girl he whispered to turned around and smiled at me. Her black hair was cropped short spiking out in every direction. Her features had a pixie-like tint to them, and had the same striking green eyes as he did. Please be related. Please be related. I hoped they were brother and sister because if they weren't, there was no way he'd be coming over to talk to another girl on their date. My heart started racing as he stopped right in front of my table. The Greek God spoke.

"Have I… met you before?" he asked. I blushed, he probably just saw me staring at him like a deranged stalker and wanted me to stop so he could go back on his date.

"Um. I-I don't t-think so." I stammered. Way to play it cool Bella. He probably thinks you're nuts.

"Oh. Well then, I'm Edward Cullen." I gazed into his eyes as his cool breath washed over my face. It was so sweet, almost intoxicating.

"It's nice to meet you… Edward. I'm…." I didn't finish, because I couldn't even remember my own name. Leave it to me to forget important details when I'm talking to guys. I searched my brain, and finally something clicked and I remembered. Feeling stupid I laughed shyly, and finished my sentence.

"…Bella Swan." He laughed. This is a dream. This HAS to be a dream. I better not wake up.

"I must know you from somewhere… You look oddly familiar." His brows furrowed in concentration as he thought. His face lit up, and his eyebrows returned to normal.

"I got it! You graduated from Forks High School, right?" I nodded my head and smiled. I remembered him. I looked back at the pixie-like girl and remembered her name was Alice. They were brother and sister, got perfect grades, and were adored by everyone in the school. I had never actually spoken to them, because our paths had never crossed. I was way too much of a wimp to try and talk to them.

"Oh! Now I remember you! That girl that's sitting at your table is Alice Cullen, right?" his eyes twinkled and he called Alice, and motioned his hand to tell her to come and join us.

"Do you mind if I sit?" he asked. How could I say no to those eyes?

"No, go ahead." His eyes beamed as he sat down next to me, and Alice on the opposite side. Dave, wherever you are, STAY THERE! I would die if they saw who I was on a date with.

"Hi Bella! Remember me? I sat next to you in History!" Alice was practically bouncing in her seat. She always was a hyper one. I could easily have seen myself being great friends with her, and Edward as my boyfriend. My heart leapt as I thought about the possibilities…

"Yes, of course! How could I forget?" I tried to sound as enthusiastic as she sounded, but her voice was more angelic and graceful, and I was the complete opposite. Edward was watching every move I made, I was getting a little self-conscious, so I stared right back at him. When I admitted defeat and looked away, I heard him chuckling and Alice giving him a look, but I had no idea what she was secretly telling him. I noticed the waiter that had served them go up to their table, and looked irritated when they weren't there. He just cleared off the table and trudged into the back room. To my utter horror, I saw Dave across the restaurant. He was coming out of the bathroom, and looked absolutely horrible. Even more horrible than before. Edward and Alice followed my eyes and saw him. I turned around so I could tell them who he was to my utter embarrassment. Edward's eyebrow raised, probably at my expression.

"Is he your date?" he looked like he wanted to strangle him. I bit my lip to hide my smile. I thought I saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but all traces of it quickly disappeared.

"Sort of..." I mumbled. I saw Alice laughing hysterically over my drunken date. Edward tried his best to retain laughter, but gave in and joined Alice. Since it was pretty funny, I chuckled along with them because if I saw someone on a date with them, I would have laughed too.

"Remind me to get his number on my way out…" Alice was barely able to get her sentence out over all the laughing. I grinned at her sarcasm, and looked back at my 'date'. He started looking everywhere, tripping over chairs and hitting into tables. He was so drunk he couldn't walk straight. To my horror, he locked eyes with me and continued stumbling to my table. He gave a dirty look to Edward, but once he saw who was sitting across from me with an empty seat next to her, he happily sat down as close as he could to Alice. Alice shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and I glanced over at Alice while he was peeking at me, and we both burst into hysterics. Alice just scowled at us and stared at the wall. I watched in amusement as Dave whispered something into Alice's ear. She turned around and looked as if she might kill. Surprisingly, Dave took it as a compliment and forced her into a kiss. He forcefully pulled her head into his, and squeezed her tight against his body. She tried kicking him, slapping him, and thrashing her arms around but he wouldn't budge. I decided to help poor Alice, so I stood up, grabbed a handful of ice out of my water, and put it in the back of his shirt. He yelped and popped up doing a strange dance in front of the entire restaurant. Alice got up without one word, went to another table where someone was eating a piece of cake, picked it up, and while Dave was still dancing, smashed the chocolate cake on the top of his head, and smeared it all over his face. I lost it. I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my cheeks. I shot up, and followed Alice out of the restaurant, with Edward on my heels. I tried my best to stop, but Alice just kept being so darn funny, what with her stomping her feet and whining like a baby. It was a sight to see. Alice turned around and shot me a death look, which immediately made me stop. I felt bad for her. She had to endure BO Dave.

"Alice, I am so sorry you had to go through that. Don't worry, you will never see BO Dave again." I managed to keep a straight face. If I had laughed, she would have suspected that I was lying.

"You better be damn right about that! Now I have to go rinse my mouth out with soap! Did you even HEAR what he said to me???" Alice was letting out all her anger in the parking lot. Some people stared, but apparently she didn't care.

"He said, 'Baby, I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I can make your bed rock'"!" He had unleashed his corny pick up line powers on her. She hastily unzipped her purse and pulled out her car keys.

"Edward, since Bella doesn't have a ride home now, you take her home in your car. I need to go home NOW!" she growled. Edward was wise to grab my hand and walk away. I thought I heard Alice cursing under her breath, but all I could think about was Edward's hand in mine. It was so warm, and the feeling he gave me was incredible.

"Well, that was…. interesting. Your date certainly had charm." He smiled at me. His smile was crooked, but so beautiful it took the breath out of me. I managed a giggle, which only made him smile wider.

"That was the absolute worst date of my entire life. He was so cheesy and sleazy I couldn't wait to go home! I bet he was drinking in the men's room!" I felt so at ease in his presence, it was shocking. I never looked away from him as we got into his shiny silver Volvo and drove out of the parking lot.

"Where do you live?" he asked as he glanced at me, and then back to the road.

"Just stay on this road, and turn left at the next stoplight. My house is right on the corner." I replied as I watched him. I had been so preoccupied by his face that I hadn't noticed what he was wearing. He was very subtly dressed, with hints that they were designer. He wore a black button up shirt with diagonal stripes. His collar was folded down, and the pocket on the right side of his chest looked like there was something inside. On the bottom he wore a nice pair of blue denim jeans, and a little piece of his black leather belt was peeking out under his shirt. He caught me staring at him, and I blushed. He just smiled like he was in on a private joke. I was just glad he hadn't said anything.

"Well, I guess this would be your house on the corner. Am I right?" he said as he put the car in park.

"You're physic." I laughed. He started getting out of his car and my breathing accelerated. In a flash he was on my side opening the car door from me. Wow… Such a gentleman.I thought to myself. He took my hand to help me out, and even when I was out of the car and the door was closed, he didn't let go of my hand. My stomach filled with butterflies as he walked me to my porch. I heard Emmett's booming laugh come from inside. I called out his name, and he opened the door with a knowing smile. He looked at Edward, then back at me confused.

"This is the guy who made me go on a blind date with BO Dave. Edward here saved me from an evening of cheesy pick up lines, and wishing I would die." I said as I walked in towing Edward. There was a girl sitting on the couch. My self-esteem dropped as I stared at probably the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life. Her wavy blond hair was draped over her shoulders as she fidgeted with the remote. She turned towards me and Edward, and she stood up and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Rosalie. You must be Bella. Emmett told me you had a date tonight, and when he described him I felt bad for you. But obviously he got it all wrong." I peeked at Edward hoping he didn't seem interested. I saw with relief that he was only looking back at me, and looked not at all interested in Rosalie. I smiled.

"Well, actually, he saved me from my real date who I hope to never see again. This guy's name is Edward." I laughed. I hid my irritation as I hated repeating myself, but of course she hadn't heard before and that's not her fault.

Emmett came in the room and sat down next to Rosalie. I figured Edward had to leave soon and help Alice recover from her night, so I walked back outside onto the porch. I also thought Emmett and Rosalie would like some privacy. Edward followed me out, and I felt like a girl in high school being walked to her porch awaiting her kiss from her football star boyfriend.

"Thanks for saving me Edward. You have no idea how lucky I was that I never actually went on a date with him." Not that I'm against dates in general…

"Anytime," he laughed, "Well, I'd better get back to Alice. She's probably coughing up soap right now."

I tried to hide the disappointment I felt. I didn't do very well.

"Oh. Well, I guess I'll see you later sometime."He flashed me a set of perfect white teeth hearing my disappointment.

"Is that a promise?" He held out his pinky for me to shake. I rolled my eyes but giggled like a school girl and we shook pinkies. When we let go, he immediately grabbed something out of his shirt pocket, and took my hand. I realized it was a pen, and he wrote his number down on my hand. I tried to stop hyperventilating, and when he finished, he smiled, and then walked back gracefully to his car and got in. I stood there frozen, and he rolled down his window, waved at me, and drove off laughing at my none responsiveness. I walked back inside the house, leaned against the door, and screamed in glee while sliding my back down the back of the door.

*End Flashback*

"Oh come on! Okay, what if I set you up on a date with Edward?" Emmett knew my weakness. I glared at him but nodded my head in defeat.

"ONLY if it's Edward because last time I gave you free will and you gave me BO Drunken Dave." I said through my teeth.

"Looks like someone's got a little crush…" Emmett laughed because I had smiled when he was finished.

"You have no idea."
