OI, this is the second new story I came up with. Bella is human and Edward along with the rest of the cullens are vampires. Edward's appearance will just be the (23 year) old picture of him in here. Since he's passing for that any now and then. Enjoy!

B.P.o.V

Let's just say it all started when my best friend Alice Brandon suggested we go on blind dates... well more or less.. I go on a blind date. She had set me up with a 'friend' of hers that I had met a couple of times. She said that he had been a jerk the first time I had met him but it was because he was having a bad day... or something like that. I asked for his name and she never told me. She said that we had went to high school together and that was that.

I didn't know what she was talking about but I let out a sigh. I was twenty three and still alone in the world. I hadn't met anyone that made me feel like all those sappy love movies could actually happen in real life. Alice wanted me to not be lonely anymore and be able to go triple dating with her, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. I was grateful that Rosalie and I finally got along after all these years. But you know what I thought was funny... What ever happened to the fifth one that had been with him? I only met him once and then he had never came back to school. I even forgot his name, it was weird but I never really thought about it til now.

One thing I did notice over the years about Alice and the rest of her 'family' was that they were abnormally beautiful, there wasn't one flaw I found with them. Their eyes were the weirdest of color, i don't think I've ever seen anyone with topaz colored eyes before besides their whole family. They still looked the same since the day I had met them at highschool. But they had bonded with the plain old girl and we had been friends ever since. I don't know what made Alice decide that I would suddenly be her best friend, but I accepted it. For some reason this whole blind date was making me nervous as hell. Bad enough for the past five years It felt like someone was watching me sleep or go places.

I still lived in forks for now, but I had plans to move somewhere else and maybe go to college. Working at Newton's shop wasn't going to be my life that was for sure. Alice had dragged me off to go shopping yesterday and today we hung out and when six o clock came around, she began to work her magic on me to make me stunning. Which I highly doubted I could ever pull off such a word. But by the time she was done, I was beginning to believe it. I was wearing a cute pink dress that had a flow upon itself whenever I took a step in the low heels and my hair was lightly curled and just enough make up to make my eyes pop a bit. I waited until it was seven thirty before the door bell rang. I glanced nervously at Alice and she giggled.

" Don't worry, it's going to be a really nice night. You'll like it. "

Alice seemed so sure of her self I was beginning to think she was psychic or something. I chuckled nervously, it sounded a bit forced... hell it felt a bit forced. I let out a sigh and was about to call the whole thing off until she pushed me off towards the door to answer it. I felt like my heart was beating some beat to a hardcore band or something. It felt like it was going to just jump out of my chest. My hand went on the knob and turned. Once i opened it, my eyes looked up a bit to meet the face of someone I had seen for five years. Even though I had only layed eyes on him for one day back in high school, he had a face that was unforgettable. It felt like I had forgotten to breathe, his golden topaz eyes looked into mine and it felt like there was electricity in the air. The Greek god before me would most likely be disappointed with me. I didn't feel like I was pretty enough to even be staring at him.

" Breathe Bella, Breathe. "

I inhaled some of the sweet tasting air and chuckled nervously, finally able to avert my eyes towards the door frame. Edward extended his hand and I took it. A shiver ran through my body due to the coldness of his hand, but that didn't matter to me. He was just like the rest of the Cullens, a bit cold but utterly beautiful. I walked with him, until a familiar silver volvo came into view. He let go of my hand and opened the door for me. I blushed lightly and slid in. Edward seemed to have to recollect himself as he shut the door. It sounded like he muttered something to himself but I ignored it, it was probably the whispers of the wind as they blew by. Soon Edward came into the car and started up the engine, it purred to life. His eyes went to me for a quick glance then he drove off. It was silent for a moment until he broke it.

" My name is Edward... In case you forgot. "

" I didn't. "

His eyes seemed to brighten up a bit when I had said those words. It was true, once I had seen his face that day had hit me. I was refreshed with his face, his name. But also how he had acted when he had first met me. It was like I had stabbed him or something, at least that's how Mike Newton had once put it. I glanced out towards the window, which was a mistake on my part. The way the trees were blurring past us sent my heart in to over drive. I held on to the handle and spoke quickly.

" Will you slow down?! Are you nuts or something... your going... over a hundred! "

" Alright, I will save you from having a heart attack... Better? "

He had asked once his speed went to at least seventy-five, I nodded for a moment and tried to calm myself down. I would be paired up with a speed demon for a date. Ugh, why did I even have to be set up on a date. It was a bit a quiet, but it wasn't awkward or anything. It actually felt comfortable not to have to say anything during the quick drive. I felt safe somehow when I was with the male beside me. Soon he had pulled up against the curb. I was about to open my own door when suddenly Edward had already opened it for me. It was strange, one second he was right there beside me and then the next...the door was opened.

I hesitated for a little bit, Edward extended his hand towards me, his eyes told me I could trust him. I obeyed, took his hand in mine and he led me towards an Italian restaurant. A blond waitress looked at Edward longer than necessary, scowled at me then lead us towards a booth. Edward spoke up, telling her to get us a booth towards the back where it was mostly empty. I thought it was a little weird but shook off the thought. Soon we were seated, she asked what we had water. Edward ordered nothing but water. I ordered some fettuccine Alfredo. I turned towards him and spoke.

" Not eating?... "

" Not hungry. "

I nodded and glanced around for a moment. I didn't think it was weird that people didn't eat anymore. Alice never seemed to eat either. I thought it was weird at first but got used to everyone I knew not eating that sometimes I'd end up forgetting to eat for hours on end. Alice would have to remind me whenever I started to get dizzy. I stopped my thoughts when I felt eyes on me, I glanced up and soon found myself lost in Edward's topaz eyes. i felt like doing nothing more than touching his hand or kissing him. I had to mentally slap myself and force my self to magically look away from his eyes. A blush came across my cheeks as I looked down. Edward broke the silence once more with an odd question.

" What are you thinking about? "

" At the moment... you. "

" Oh?... What about me? "

" You just seem so different... well I used to the kind of different thanks to Alice and the rest of your family... It's just weird... I don't know how to explain it. I'm rambling now and sounding stupid... "

" No, no, your not... tell me, I'm curious. "

I opened my mouth to speak but stopped, the waitress had came and placed my water down at the table. She glanced between the both of us and then looked at Edward with eyes filled with lust. I was ready to stand up and yell 'take him already' but why did I suddenly have this impulse? I barely met Edward and I was already feeling jealousy towards any girl that wanted him. I didn't blame her though, Edward's god like appearance most likely made girls swoon and then fall on their knees for him to do things with them. But when I looked over towards Edward, he was still looking at me. It was as if he had been staring at me the whole time and had taken no notice to the waitress that suddenly let out a huff and walked away.

" Will you start now since our interruption has departed. "

" Um... Yes... First off, you don't eat... neither does the rest of your family. I find that a little odd, but it's no big deal I guess. A lot of people don't eat now and days... though they are mostly anorexic and you look pretty fine to me... besides the light purple bags underneath your eyes. Do you not get any sleep or something ? "

" You could say that. "

" How come you left that day and never returned?... "

" you actually noticed?...and remember? "

" Well yeah, you weren't exactly the nicest thing to me when you did leave so it's hard to forget. "

" I apologize for that day for acting so rude, I had just been...dealing with something.. but I came to terms with it. "

" I imagine so...I mean five years?... "

" It's been that long... i forget how quickly time can pass by. It had been in your best interest for you to had forgot me. I'm rather dangerous... I shouldn't even be doing this... But Alice has a way.. "

" Yeah she does... i don't see how your so dangerous, you seem pretty fine and nice to me. "

" Well it's because you don't actually know me. "

" Maybe I'd like to. "

" I don't know if I should let you..."

I ignored his words since the waitress had came. If he had been so keen on me not being in his life then why did he even agree to doing this with Alice? I picked at my food for a little bit rethinking the conversation that had just happened. Why did he keep thinking he was dangerous? It wasn't like he was some sort of monster.. Even if he was, it didn't matter. My thoughts went to Jacob's story he had told me years ago. 'The cold ones' is what they had been called. I had lost contact with Jacob when he turned sixteen, he was suddenly too cool for me or whatever and ran with some pack of boys that lived on the reservation with him. I would see him occasionally when I went into town. He seemed to have some emotion I wasn't aware of in his eyes, he'd say hello but that was as far as things went. Edward had broken me out of my thoughts once more by asking that same damn question.

" What are you thinking about? "

" Why do you always ask that? "

" It just frustrates me a bit since I can't read ...your expressions or anything... "

" You make it sound like your upset cause you can't read minds or something. "

I chuckled lightly and took a bite out of the food. Out of the corner of my eyes, Edward looked like he had just seen a ghost or something but he collected himself once more and smiled. I smiled back, blushed a bit and then asked that question just to see what he would say.

" What are you thinking about? "

" You of course. "

I shook my head in embrassesment and ate a few more bites before saying I was done. He nodded and asked for the check then placed a twenty dollar bill on the table for the lady to pick up. His arm went around my waist, and it felt right. It felt like that's where it had belonged. I leaned into Edward and we walked like some love struck couple over towards his car. He opened my door, shut it for me and went around to get in himself.

" Always the gentlemen. "

" It was the way I was taught. "

He smiled over towards me and then we drove back to Alice's house. She had moved out of Esme's and Carlisle's huge mansion-esque place to get her own house with Jasper since they were married. I would spend the night every now and then at her house and then go back to Charlie's. Though I was planning on taking a plane out of here soon and getting a place of my own. Before Edward could even utter the question, I spoke.

" I'm thinking about what the future holds. I'm thinking about moving out of forks... I don't know where I'll go but I feel like I don't really belong here anymore... or i never actually did... I was just here.. waiting. "

" Waiting for what? ... "

" I don't know... maybe waiting for you. "

I hadn't noticed that we had stopped, Edward's gaze had shifted over to me and our eyes met. It felt like my body was telling me to lean in, I wanted to but I didn't want to seem like some crazy person that did these sorts of things on the first date. Though Edward seemed to have the same feeling, only it was on his face since I couldn't read his mind. We were parked outside of Alice's house and he leaned in. Though I had thought he was going to kiss me on my lips, instead he placed a soft cold chaste kiss on my forehead. It was a caring and gentle gesture that he had did. I smiled over towards him. He had left his seat soon and opened my door once more. I took his hand, but this time he pulled me in for a gentle hug. Every time he touched me it felt like I melted. I felt so safe with him in was surreal. Edward ad I walked towards the house to find Alice already standing there bouncing around like some kid jacked up on sugar.

" You guys look so cute together! "

There seemed to be some exchange of unknown messages because out of no where Edward nodded and muttered something I didn't quite catch. whatever it was Alice seemed to be even more bouncy. I was about to ask what that was about but instead was being pulled in by Alice to continue the sleep over she had decided was going to happen. Though throughout the night I couldn't help but take my eyes off the screen and float over towards Edward. He was sitting on the floor next to me since Alice seemed to suddenly not have that much seats. I was laying down on the couch, they had made me a bed there since I insisted on staying on a couch. My arm drifted down however towards Edward. Before I knew it, I felt his cold hand hold mine as I drifted off to sleep.


I think this was a decent amount for a first chapter. : D

Hope you guys liked it...
