I know I haven't posted ANYTHING in awhile, so I made this oneshot. I hope that it's one of my bests.

I felt like I was floating on air. Today Edward Cullen asked me out. Me. I've had a crush on him since I first got to know him. He was actually the one that would stand up for me when Lauren Mallory was picking on me. Something about me being really boring, and not deserving to have Edward as my friend. He finally had enough of it and told her off. After that, I would call him my Prince Charming, and he would call me his Damsel in Distress. I guess that would have made me the Damsel in Distress.
I met him some time last year, when he moved from Chicago. We only hung out during class and helped each other out when we needed it. We would get everything done and have free time. I found out that he has a brother and sister, his father was a doctor and his mother was a stay – at – home Mom. I told Edward I didn't see my Mom that often that my parents were divorced and she was around moving around with her new husband. Unfortunately, Lauren Mallory was in that class and decided that Edward was worthy enough to be her crush.
Right now, I'm sitting on my couch and waiting for Edward to show up. He said that he was going to pick me up at six so that we could go to dinner and a movie. I had a nice casual blue dress on. My father, Charlie, was sitting on the couch with me, but he was watching football. After thinking for a few more minutes, the doorbell rang.
"That must be Edward," I said. Charlie nodded and I went to answer the door. Standing there was Edward with flowers. He was in a dark grey shirt with a nice pair of pants on.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I said back, breathless. He smiled at me and I blushed. Again. There was nothing that wasn't normal about that.
"These are for you," he said holding out the flowers. I took them.
"They're beautiful Edward, Come inside and I'll put them in a vase," I said. He nodded and came in. My Dad then decided that the television wasn't as interesting as me talking to Edward.
"Who is this, Bella?" he asked me.
"Dad, this is Edward, Edward, this is my father Charlie Swan," I said.
"Good evening sir," Edward said politely.
"Evening Edward."
"Well, I'm going to go look for a vase for these," I said.
"Why don't you come and sit down Edward while Bella goes and looks for one." I turned to Edward and saw him gulp.
"Yes sir," he said and turned to me.
"He won't do anything," I told him. He nodded and went to go sit down with Charlie. When I decided that my father wasn't going to do anything to Edward, I went into the kitchen to see if I could find a vase. With my luck, we didn't even own one. Once I looked around my kitchen for ten minutes, I decided that I would put the flowers in a tall glass of water. I went back into the living room and saw Edward and my father laughing. When they stopped, Edward looked over at me and stood up.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah."
"It was good getting to know you Edward," Dad said.
"It was good getting to know you too sir," Edward said back to him.
"You can call me Charlie." That surprised me. My father makes all guys call him sir or chief.
"Okay Bella, since it's a weekend, you can stay out 'til eleven – thirty instead of nine," Charlie said. I smiled.
"Thank you Dad."
"Okay, you kids go have fun, but not too much, got it?" I blushed. He knows that I wouldn't do that. By the time we were in Edward's Volvo, it was six – fifteen. Edward, being the gentleman that he is, opened the door for me and I blushed.
"Thank you," I said and got in quietly. He smiled crookedly at me and got in his side of the car.
"No problem." He started up the Volvo and took my hand. He held my hand all the way to the restaurant. He acted like the perfect gentleman. He pulled out my chair, didn`t even look and the pretty waitress trying to flirt with him. He paid the bill, I tried to pitch in, not going to happen, and we headed to the movies. He was kind enough to let me pick the movie, Valentine's Day, and wouldn`t let me pay again. At the end of the movie, someone decided that it would be nice to share her snacks with my dress.
"That's just perfect," I said looking at my now stained and sticky dress.
"You look perfect Bella," Edward said. I blushed. "You do, you look beautiful."
"Thank you."
"No problem, now, let's get up home, I'm sure that you will want to get into something less sticky," he said. He took my hand again and led me to the car. He held my hand all the way home.
We were now on my front porch. Edward was standing in front of me.
"I had a great time Edward," I said.
"Thank you for coming out with me."
"I had a lot of fun, well, except for this part," I said pointing at my dress.
"You still look beautiful," he said. Edward started to lean in slowly, making sure that I wanted to kiss him. Well, I hope he wanted to kiss me. I lend closer to him. When his lips softly pressed against mine, I felt sparks right away. His lips were soft. He was definitely a great kisser. It felt like magic. I felt time slow down, and I wanted it to stay like that. Edward pulled away slightly.
"Will you go out with me again?" he asked, his lips lightly brushing mine.
"Yes." I felt him smile as he kissed me again. We kissed a little longer, and pulled away when we heard the front door open.
"I'll call you tomorrow," he said. I smiled.
"OK," I said. He kissed my cheek and went back to his car.
"I was wondering where you guys were," I heard Charlie said. I blushed. "What the heck is on your dress?" he asked me. I told him what happened at the theatre. I soon went to my room and changed into my cozy pajamas. I was curled up in my bed, reading, when I heard my cell phone vibrate. I opened it and saw that someone texted me.
Sleep well, I'll call you tomorrow. Edward xo
Today really was a fairytale.
~*~*~
Edward did call me the next day, and we talked for a few hours. We talked about anything and everything. The only reason why I had to go was because my father wanted to use the phone to call Billy Black and he had to start his homework.
On Monday, I saw Edward in the hall. He was with his friends, so I thought that I should leave him alone. I was at my locker getting my stuff for class when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist from behind me.
"Hello," I velvet voice said into my ear.
"Hey."
"Why didn't you come say 'hi' to me?" he asked kissing my cheek.
"I figured that I would just let you hang out with your friends," I told him.
"Well, they actually want to know how our date went," he said.
"You didn't tell them?"
"Nope, and Alice and Rose are going to kill me if we don't tell them soon."
"We?"
"Yeah, they want to hear your side too," he said with a smile.
"Or are you the one that wants to hear it?" I teased.
"Well...."
You know that I had a great time Edward, you have nothing to worry about," I told him.
"Well, since class is about to start, do you want to tell them at lunch?" he asked me.
"Sure." The bell rang and he kissed me quickly.
"I'll see you at lunch," he said.
"See you then." He smiled. My heart started to flutter. I felt like I wasn't on Earth anymore when he smiled at me. I closed my locker and headed to class. Lunch came slowly. I was headed for my locker again when I saw Edward standing by it, smiling at me again. I blushed, again.
"Hey Bella," he said and enveloped me in a hug. I felt my heart racing in my chest.
"Hey," I said. I still had my binder and pencil case in my arms.
"Sorry, I'll let you put those away," he said pointing to the stuff in my hands.
"It's okay, why don't you go down to the cafe and get something, I'll meet you there."
"I wanted to walk you to lunch and show you off," he said. I opened my locker and threw my stuff inside it. I closed it and looked down at my feet, blushing again. "Are you okay Bella?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine," I said. He stood in front of me and lifted my head to face him.
"I like your blush Bella, don't hide it." He kissed me and took my hand. We started toward the cafeteria. I got what I wanted to eat and tried to pay again, but Edward wouldn't let me. We started walking to the table
"You know Edward, if you keep paying for me; I'm going to wind up owing you a lot of money," I said. He stopped walking.
"You owe me nothing Bella. I pay for you because want to."
"You're going to wind up broke if you keep paying for me."
"Bells, I have more than enough money, I want to spend it on you. To me, it's either this, or something extravagant," he said. I sighed.
"I guess this."
"I think that you're the only girl I know that would rather have her lunch paid for than have someone buy her something expensive," he said walking next to me again.
"I don't like people spending a lot of money on me, that's why I kept trying to pay when we went out."
"Well, if we're going to date, you're going to have to get used to it, because I don't think that I will let you pay that much," he said.
"So there might be a time where I can pay?" I asked as we reached the table.
"There might, but most likely, there won't," he said as he sat down. I sat next to him.
"Edward not letting you pay for anything?" Rose asked me. I nodded.
"He likes to be a gentleman and pay for everything; you're going to have to keep money on you at all times and hope that he forgets his wallet at home... or that Dad cut of his credit card because he was spending too much," his little sister, Alice, said.
"Alice, don't give her ideas," he wind. I giggled. I thought that it was funny to hear him wine.
"You know, we can give her a-" Edward cut Alice off.
"No you won't. She looks beautiful the way she is." I was a little confused. This was the first time that I hung out with Edward and his friends.
"Hey look, its lover boy and his girl," I heard a booming voice say behind me. I looked at Edward and saw that he froze.
"Shut up Emmett, you know you're not funny," a much calmer voice said after. I then saw Emmett Cullen, Edward's older brother, sit down next to Rose and Jasper, Rose's twin, sit down next to Alice.
"Will you finally tell us now?" Rose asked. Apparently, Edward already told them his side, so now it was my turn.
"It was amazing," I said when I was done. I blushed because Edward was sitting right next to me.
"That's so sweet! Emmett, why don't you take me on dates like that?" Rose asked.
"You to Jasper," Alice said.
"Thanks a lot Edward," I heard them both say.
"How were my snacks, bitch," I heard a voice say from behind me. Great. I turned around to find Lauren Mallory. When will she ever give up?
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"You went out with my Eddie this weekend, bitch." I saw Edward turn around this time.
"What the hell are you talking about Lauren? I was never yours! I never even went out with you!"
"Sure we did Eddie, you remember that one time...," she said trailing off.
"What? I sure as hell don't remember going out with you," Edward said angrily. Then I remembered something.
"You were the one that shoved your food onto me?"
"Duh. I was hoping that Edward would leave you there because you were a mess, turns out, I was wrong."
"That's low, even for you Mallory," Alice said standing up.
"What are you going to do about that Shorty?" she asked walking up to her.
"I will hurt you if you touch Alice," a very terrifying Rosalie said.
"I won't stop her," Emmett said.
"Whatever whore," she said.
"That's it," Rose said standing up. I saw Lauren's eyes go wide as she booked it out the doors of the cafeteria.
"Stupid bitch," I heard Rose mutter.
"Good job Rose," I heard Jasper said.
"Don't listen to a word she said Bella. I would never go out with her," Edward told me.
"If he did, I would have to knock him unconscious," Emmett said seriously.
"I would probably watch," Alice said. I giggled a little again.
"Thanks guys," he said sarcastically. I like his family and friends.
~*~*~
It's been four months since Edward and I started dating. He asked me to be his girlfriend on our second date, and I felt like flying. I felt like time did slow down whenever he was around he was around, and I didn't want it to speed up. Every time he kissed me, I felt warmth run through my body, almost like magic. I swear one time when we pulled away from a kiss; I fell in love with him. That was two months ago. I don't want to tell him in case it was too early. I didn't want to scare him away. I don't what I would do.
Edward was taking me out again tonight, and I think I'm going to tell him. I've had a hard time keeping it in. I haven't even told Alice and Rose about it.
The three of us have become really close since Edward and I started dating. I found out that if I stayed near them, Lauren keeps away. The boys and I have become close too. When I was having problems with history, Jasper was there to help me out, and Emmett was just like my big brother.
Edward wouldn't tell me where he was taking me tonight; he just told me to dress warmly and had proper footwear. I smiled thinking about him.
The door bell rang and I went to answer it. I saw a very handsome looking Edward standing there with a bouquet of red roses.
"These are for you," he said. I kissed him.
"Thank you," I said. "Why don't you come in and I'll put these with the other flowers." Edward kept giving me flowers. I now had enough to make a garden with them.
"Ready to go?" I asked when I was done.
"Always," he said taking my hand and kissing it.
"My Dad said that I could stay out 'til midnight tonight," I told him.
"That's gives us six hours."
"Are you going to tell me where we're going now?" I asked.
"Nope, you're just going to have to wait and see," he said. I sighed. He opened the car door for me and then got into his side of the car. He drove about ten minutes when we hit a trail. He got out and opened my door again.
"Jump on my back," he said when I got out of the car.
"Why?" I asked.
"I know you're going to trip and fall every few steps."
"Fine," I said. I jumped onto his back and he gave me a piggyback ride the rest of the way. When we finally reached our destination, I saw that it was a beautiful meadow. It had a picnic blanket with a basket and a CD player.
"Wow," I said, still amazed. "Where did you find this?" I asked.
"I was just walking around, thinking and I found myself here," he told me.
"Wow," I said again. I couldn't get over how beautiful this place was.
"Would you like something to eat?" he asked. I nodded and he led me over to the blanket. He packed all my favourites. We both ate what was in the basket. When we finished, I heard music go on.
"May I have this dance?" Edward asked, standing up. I nodded, put my hand in his and stood up.
"Yes you may." We walked onto the grass, and I heard the song better. Crazier.
"I should probably warn you now, I can't dance," I told him.
"Its okay, it's all in the leading."
"I love this song," I whispered into his chest.
"I know, Alice told me," he said kissing my hair. We danced in a comfortable silence.
"I found this place when I was thinking about you, after our first date. I'm crazy about you Bella," he said.
You lift my feet off the ground,
You spin me around.
You make me crazier, crazier.
"I'm crazy for you too, Edward," I said quietly.
"I love you Bella." My heart sped up.
Feels like I'm falling and I,
I'm lost in your eyes.
You make me crazier, crazier.
"I love you too Edward," I said. He smiled my favourite crooked smile that still made me want to melt and kissed me.
All done! What do you think?
The reason why I haven't posted anything in awhile is because I have ZERO inspiration. I haven't really been talking to the people that I normally talk to on here. I'm sorry if you're one of the people that I talk to and you're reading this.
I think there's going to be one more chapter of Star Struck, and I'm trying to work on I'm Only Me When I'm With You. I actually started working on them, but lost all interest. But the sad thing is, when I had an idea to write, mt Microsoft Word decided to stop working, and I got really mad.
I'm stll working on Fifteen, and I've sent the first two chapters to my beta.
GOOD NEWS! If I fell like it, I will write a chapter on Edward's POV of this story and make it a twoshot. What do you think of that? Reviewing helps. :P
Well, I'm going to go,
Peace.
