"This is going to be your room," Edward announced opening the bedroom door. The room was bigger than the one at my home was. It was colored purple, had a bed that looked more comfortable than anything I'd ever sat in, had a desk on the side of the room, and a small closet already filled with some cloths. "Those are things Alice wanted to give to you," Edward informed seeing my gaze shift to the closet. "I was thinking since dinner is done we could go for a walk." I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to go for a walk. Not only was it somewhat chilly outside, but I didn't bring a coat.

"I don't have a jacket," I told him honestly. He only shrugged out of his coat handing it to me giving me no room for an argument.

"We're going on a walk," he called to his mother opening the door letting me go out first. "How long have you lived in Forks?" He questioned his hands stuffed in his jeans pockets. He did that a lot.

"My entire life," I told him with a smile. "My mom and dad met when they were little. They were so young they didn't know what that clock meant, and then when they were sixteen they went away for a weekend. Apparently scaring the crap out of their parents, when they came back they were hitched, and a month later found out they were pregnant. They never left," I explained watching him smile. "How long have you lived here?" I questioned actually finding myself curious how I'd never ran into him before today.

"My parents have lived here for a few years," he said with a smile. "I just came down for the summer," he admitted biting his lip. "Then I realized I was meeting you in Forks. Now I'm not sure where I go from here," he admitted stopping at the beach. Apparently I wasn't the only one afraid of where we were supposed to go from here.

"Where were you?" I questioned sitting on the nearest log.

"Medical school," he said like it was the most normal thing in the world. I couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped my lips before I shook my head collecting my thoughts again. Medical school wasn't something you went to on a whim. The way he said it made him sound like he was swelling up with pride.

"When's summer over for you?" I questioned. I knew once summer was over either I was staying in Forks while he went off, or I was going with him. Either way, we didn't have much time to figure it out. "We have a lot of things to figure out," I mumbled shaking my head.

"Summers over in a month," he informed me. A month. I was supposed to fall completely in love with him in one month? I was supposed to pick up my whole life and move in with him because some ticking clock tells me to. I was just supposed to drop all of my plans and go with him? "I can transfer to the college in Seattle," he said noticing my hesitation.

"We have a few weeks to figure it out," I said swallowing. "Do you ever think it would be easer if we didn't have those clocks?" I questioned shaking my head. Edward shook his head giving a smile. "No offense. But I wanted to fall hopelessly in love not knowing who the boy was," I said smiling to myself. The thought just seemed so nice, figuring out who you love on your own, and not with the help of some stupid clock.

"I know what you mean," he said shaking his head. "I figured it would happen at least in college or after," he said shaking his head. "But I get what you mean," he said looking at the shore. "So why don't we try something different," he offered grabbing my attention. "Dates," he said with a smile. "We can get to know each other the old-fashioned way, this being date number one. So ask me anything in the world," he said with a smile turning to face me.

"What made you decide to go to medical school?" I questioned with a smile. It was something that I was genuinely interested in. There was some reason he decided to go to medical school. Like I said, it wasn't something that you do on a whim.

"I want to help people," he said simply. "I just wanted to do something worthy. My dad is a surgeon, and I've seen how many lives he's changed. I want to do that, I want to be the reason someone's life is forever changed." The way he went on about it lead me to believe that he was passionate about it. "Are you planning on going to college?"

"Yes," I said automatically. "I want to be a teacher. It's not something that brings in a lot of money, but I love watching that light click in someone when they get that problem for the first time. I love watching the emotion on their face, and I think it's something that could make me really happy," I gushed to him about the way I felt about teaching the way he gushed about being a surgeon. "What are we supposed to do on a date?" I questioned. Neither of us had exactly been on a date before this one.

"Is there anything you're really good at?" He questioned sounding just as confused as I was.

"I can blush about three hundred different shades of red better than anyone I know," I said making him smile.

"You blush a lot?"

"More than I like to admit,"

"That's cute," he said brushing the back of his hand along my cheeks. The feeling of his hand brush against my cheeks, just made my heart flutter inside my chest. Something about it just felt right. It felt right that he was here with me. Then again it was chosen for us so it must be right.

"Aren't they going to wonder where we snuck off to in the middle of the night?" I questioned looking back at the house that was now my home. How this was all going to play out was beyond me. Don't get me wrong, they're all nice. It's just I don't like staying with people I know nothing about. Call me crazy, but it just isn't my cup of tea.

"Esme will probably come to get us in a bit," he said in a light tone. "We can go in if you like." I was never the best with hiding my feelings. I'm almost positive he could tell I wanted to be anywhere else but here. We both got to our feet walking back to the house. I had no clue what I was supposed to talk to him about, I didn't know the first thing about him. How was I supposed to spark a conversation out of nothing. "Alice has a whole day planned out for us tomorrow," he informed me as we started walking up the steps to his house.

"What kind of day?" I found myself wondering. I looked back to Edward missing the next step as I started falling back word's. I waited for the crash with the cold hard sidewalk to come, it just never did. Instead I felt a pair of hands around my waist, as I crumbled him to the ground. "Oh. My. God." I said as Edward gave a low chuckle. Esme and Rosalie appeared in the doorway watching as I got to my feet helping Edwards to his. "I am so sorry." I felt like an idiot the way that everyone was now staring.

"So your clumsy?" He questioned with a low chuckle wincing as he turned his neck.

"I'm a klutz," I said in a low voice. "Are you ok? I trampled you," I worried as we got into the house.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't weigh a thing," he said shaking his head. "Alice, can you give me a back rub?" He questioned his sister. She only gave a giggle as Jasper walked up behind her kissing the nape of her neck.

"Bella, give him a rub. You're the one that trampled him," she giggled making me bite my lip. She was right I was the one that fell on him, literally.

"She's right. I'll give you a rub." Edward only turned to raise an eyebrow before shaking his head. Apparently he didn't know I would actually do it. We didn't know a lot about each other. If I trample you to the floor and you need a rub I'll give you one. Unless your an ass. I followed Edward to his room slightly turning my body to the door.

"Leave it open," he told me pealing his shirt off. "Esme wants to keep us at bay for a while," he said with a wink. I wasn't able to pay much attention to what he was saying to me. My focus was on his perfectly sculpted chest. He was lean and muscular in such a way that wasn't scary, it was just sexy. It was incredibly sexy to see that V outline. I'm pretty sure I was staring at his chest for a little longer than I should have hearing him clear his throat I tore my gaze away. "Can you go bug Alice for some lotion? I'll get the TV set up so we can watch something," he informed as I scurried away. I wasn't about to get caught ogling him again.

"Alice," I called not remembering which room was hers as she popped out in front of me. "I need lotion, so Edward told me to ask you," I explained watching her give a light smile running back into her room. Jasper sat on the bed with a devious smile when Alice returned with the bottle of lotion.

"Make sure you get your beauty sleep tomorrow. We're going swimming," she informed making my heart almost skip a beat. Swimming? We were going somewhere were I would be forced to wear a bikini. We were going out somewhere were Edward would be shirtless most of the day? Say goodbye to dignity.

"I don't have a suit," I quickly found an excuse.

"I've got tons, they should fit you," she said shoving me back in the direction of the room. Edward was lying on the bed revealing his backside. From the fall it had scratched of where the rocks poked into his skin and a slight outline of something that must have dug into his back.

"I'm going to sit on you," I informed hearing him give a low chuckle shaking his head. "What are we watching?" I questioned rubbing the lotion on his back. Edward gave a low groan as my fingers touched his back. "You could have let me fall you know," I said shaking my head.

"We're watching The Breakfast Club," He said answering my first question. "I couldn't just let you fall either. Imagine what the fall would have done to you," he gave a small shudder. "Besides, I got a back rub out of it," he muttered silently giving all his attention to the TV screen now. I was perfectly fine watching the way his back rose and fell with each breath. Even with the scrapes and cuts, his backside looked almost as good as his perfectly sculpted chest. After about thirty minutes of ogling him without getting caught I leaned back in his bed my eyes focused on the TV like his.

"I love this movie." Edward looked back at me leaning against his bed so that we were sitting together.

"Everyone does," He whispered with a smile. It wasn't awkward sitting with him like this. In fact, something about it felt so familiar. When the movie was finally over I noticed Edward give off a yawn.

"I should get to bed," I whispered knowing everyone else was probably asleep already. "Alice said we're going swimming tomorrow," I informed him getting to my feet giving a stretch and a yawn. I didn't notice how tired I was until I felt the weight finally hit my shoulders.

"Goodnight Bella," Edward mumbled as I silently walked back into the purple guest room collapsing on the bed before my eyes. It was only a matter of seconds before I found myself engulfed in a peaceful sleep. Their house could have been on fire and I wouldn't have noticed, because I was dead to the world the moment my head hit the pillow.
