More Than The Movie:

Saturday night came all too quickly for me. Alice had chosen a simple but cute ensemble for me, which included higher heels than I was accustomed to—which we purposely went to the mall for that day—and a royal blue camisole with a white cardigan and a dark pair of jeans.

"My brother loves blue, and he's a simple sort of guy. Fashion sense is almost entirely lost on him," she had commented. That was a good thing; I wasn't a Prada-wearing, Gucci-toting individual myself. Jeans almost sufficed for everything in my life. That was just the first thing that we had in common. I smiled at the thought. Alice was convinced that we had way more in common than our non-existent fashion sense. That remained to be seen, but who knew us better than Alice?

It was 6:45 when I heard a knock at the door. Thank goodness that Alice had given me the heads up that Edward was on the way, otherwise he might have arrived and seen me still taming my hair...

I opened the door to find a nervous Edward running a hand through his hair in what I interpreted as nervousness. I smiled at him when his striking green eyes met mine. He smiled back with a crooked grin that I had never seen before, but it made my knees so weak that I held on a little tighter to the doorknob to keep from falling over.

"Hi," He said, still grinning. "Ready?" He said casually. I turned and stepped back to grab my small black purse from the floor when my feet tripped on the welcome mat that was curled up under my feet. Preparing myself for what was going to embarrass me to no end, I shut my eyes tightly and held out my hands. Just then, Edward stepped into the house just far enough to save me from my untimely meeting with the floor. He held me close and chuckled.

"A little uncoordinated, are we?" He smiled good-naturedly. I gasped, finding my words. He righted me on my feet and handed me the purse that I had all but fallen over to retrieve.

"Thanks. And yes, I'm a bit accident-prone."

He smiled again, extending his hand to me. "You're lucky I find that adorable. Let's get going before you fall too quickly for me to catch you,"

I giggled despite my incredible embarrassment. I was sure that I was a dark shade of red, but it obviously didn't affect Edward. He looked like he enjoyed the whole scene. I saw his car, a shiny year-old Volvo sedan, parked on the street. I had seen this car in the Cullens' driveway countless times, or pulling out of the driveway as I arrived. Alice had once told me how proud Edward was of his car, even giving it a name, Pedro, and calling it a 'him', saying that a car that had that many horsepower had balls, so in theory the car had to be masculine.

Edward pressed a button and the car came to life, beeping to indicate the alarm had been deactivated. He opened the passenger-side door and helped me in, closing the door once I was safely inside.

We got to the theatre in record time, because Edward drove like a complete speed demon. He obeyed all traffic signals, stopped entirely at stop signs, but believed that the posted speed limits were just a suggestion. He paid for both tickets, which I was annoyed about because I was perfectly OK with paying for my own ticket. So, he compromised and agreed to let me buy the snacks. I agreed, as it seemed like a fair trade-off; movie theatre combos nearly necessitated taking out a small loan to pay for them.

The movie we chose was an Adam Sandler comedy, which we both agreed upon as our first choice. Because it had been in the theatres for a while, it was nearly empty. I was fine with that, since I always managed to sit in front of the one person who would use the seat in front of them for kicking. Thankfully, no one decided to sit directly behind me.

The movie began and instantly we were laughing. Leave it to Adam Sandler to make any topic funny. I noticed that we were laughing at the same parts, while others around us weren't laughing as hard. Alice did mention that we had a similar sense of humour...

About twenty minutes into the movie, Edward looked over at me—I knew this because he very noticeably turned his head to glance at me—and smiled. I melted at his gesture. It was as if he were saying, 'I'm having a great time' without saying anything. I returned the smile happily. I hoped to convey to him that I was having just as great a time as he was. He then moved a little and lifted the armrest from between us and moved a tiny bit closer to me. I continued to smile at him, hoping that he understood how amazed I was that he had chosen to watch this movie with me, not some supermodel type blonde to match his good looks. Suddenly, I felt him lean towards me. He stopped when he reached my ear, moved a bit of my hair behind my ear.

"Thanks for coming out with me," he whispered. His warm breath on my ear caused shivers to move down my spine. I looked at him and leaned in towards his ear.

"Thank you for asking me," I replied quietly, meaning every word. I leaned back to my seat, still watching him. He leaned back towards me, making me think that he wanted to whisper something else. Instead, he placed his hand on my cheek, bending my head towards him, and laid a gentle kiss upon my lips. The electricity between us was instantaneous. I sighed as he released my cheek, staring in disbelief at him. Did that just happen? Feeling empowered, I returned the gesture and leaned over to him and kissed his lips chastely. Instead of the kiss lasting a moment, the chasteness disappeared and the electricity built. Edward returned his hand to my cheek and deepened the kiss. I opened my mouth slightly to allow him access, which he seemed glad to accept. His tongue slid into my mouth slowly, circling my own and exploring my mouth. This kiss was more than I had ever imagined, and better than any I had ever experienced. Edward's kiss was not overly sloppy or wet, and his mouth opened just enough. It wasn't a forceful or overbearing kiss, either. It was gentlemanly—if I could call a kiss that.

We were absolutely enjoying this moment when we heard throats clearing behind us. It was obvious we were getting slightly carried away. Embarrassed, we broke the kiss, smiling at each other, and returned our gazes to the movie. Edward, with his eyes locked on the screen, reached for my hand and held it, stroking the back of it with his thumb. I glanced over at his face and in the darkness I could see he wore a huge crooked smile.

***

"That was a great movie," Edward commented as we walked out of the theatre, hand-in-hand.

"Yeah, I liked it. Sandler is a comedic genius," I added, taking out my cell to check the time. It was only 9:21pm.

"What do you want to do, Edward? It's not even 9:30 yet," I asked him casually. He looked pensive for a few moments, and then smiled.

"Do you trust me?"

What was I to say to that? Of course I trusted him, but not because I knew him, but because I knew what I knew of him from his family.

"Sure. Why?"

"I want to take you somewhere. But you might think it's a bit odd,"

"Well, let's see about that. It's not far, is it?" I asked, not sure where he was thinking of taking me.

"No, a few minutes from my house," He pointed to his car in the parking lot of the theatre. "Let's go," He added with a smile.

We drove down the street behind his house towards a relatively undeveloped area I had never been to before. It wasn't lit properly and it scared me ever so slightly in the dark. The road had at one point become nearly all dirt, and the street lamps were few and far between. Edward must have read my mind because he grabbed my hand gently and looked at me a few times, trying to keep his eyes on the road.

"If you feel uncomfortable, I can drive you home. It's ok. Maybe I should show you this place during the day sometime,"

I shook my head.

"No, it's ok. I'm just nervous about the darkness. I'm OK being with you," It was true. I was fine with being with him, but was a bit unnerved by how dark it was around us as we drove towards this unnamed place. Edward paused as he slowed the car down under a lone street lamp. He glanced around as if to make sure he had the right spot down.

"We're here," He turned to face me. "This is my favourite place." He said with a grin.

"What is it?" I asked trying not to sound like I thought he was crazy.

He laughed. "It's Orchard Park Meadow, or the Meadow as I call it. During the day, it's beautiful. Down this road here," He pointed indistinctly ahead of the car. "they have a small basketball court and an outdoor ball hockey court that my friends and I would play in when we were younger. During the summers, Esme and Carlisle would bring Alice and I here all the time and have picnics. I've always found it peaceful."

I felt stupid for thinking the place was creepy. The image he had created in my mind with his nostalgia was beautiful. I instantly felt terrible.

"I'm sorry for sounding so..." How had I sounded??

Edward leaned toward me. "No, I completely understand. I guess it does look a bit scary at night. I was hoping it was more well-lit than this. We can go if you want..." He replied looking regretful. I squeezed his hand tightly.

"It's ok. Let's stay for a while and talk. It's early,"

His eyes lit up and he smiled at the suggestion.

"That sounds good," He rubbed my hand with his thumb again.

For the next half hour, we sat in his Volvo talking about anything that came to mind. The main subject of conversation went from school to work back to school. Edward had just finished his degree and was working at trying to become a talent scout, mainly for hockey athletes, though his expertise stretched to basketball and soccer, as well. I didn't know there was a demand for that sort of industry, but apparently there was. He told me he was looking at several job offers at the moment. I mentioned that Alice had never told me how passionate about the subject he was.

"No one really knew about how much I loved sports until I decided to go for the Sports Management degree. I'm kind of quiet about my passions." He paused briefly, looking down at the hand he was still holding within his own. "It's kind of how things are about you. No one really knew I liked you until I grew the balls to ask you out. I mean, Alice talks about you all the time,"

"So you're saying..."I wanted to say 'I'm one of your passions', but it would have sounded far too assuming.

"So I'm saying," He leaned over closer to me so that our noses were centimetres away from each other. "that I am so glad you came to the movie with me and are sitting here in my car with me." With those words, he closed the gap between us and kissed my lips. The kiss began innocently enough, but soon we were panting, gasping for air, as the passion grew. He pulled away to take in a much needed breath and rested his forehead to mine.

"I can't believe I'm kissing Bella Swan," he whispered in awe. I watched him as he closed his eyes. Was this man crazy? It was I who should have been in awe of my presence in this car, kissing this smart, handsome, passionate man.

"And I can't believe I'm kissing Edward Cullen," I said coyly. He laughed quietly and looked up at me, his eyes piercing and intense. I could see a smouldering lust within them that I couldn't ignore. Just thinking that Edward could have that look for me made me shiver. It was unreal.

At that thought, he leaned in and continued the kiss from moments earlier, adding more fervour and need than before. His hands went from my cheeks to my arms, moving lower towards my lap. As best as he could while still seated in the driver's seat, he leaned all the way towards me so that he was pushing me against the passenger side door. He never broke the kiss, just continued to get closer to me. His kisses were a force of nature. He was aggressive but gentle in his movements; like he knew what he wanted but was unsure that I wanted the same thing. His lips were supple as they crashed against mine, sending waves of lust down to my core. My arousal was already getting the better of me when he decided to begin attacking my neck with incredible kisses. I moaned softly as his lips began sucking on the tender flesh of my neck; he had found my sweet spot. I dug my hand into his hair, encouraging him to continue his assault of my neck. He understood my gesture and placed sensual kisses on my neck slower than before, sending me into a spiral of need.

"Edward," His name escaped my lips before I could stop myself. "Oh God..."

"I want you, Bella," He whispered into my neck. "I've wanted you for so long."

In the heat of the moment, I pulled his head away from my neck and made him look me in the eye. As we kept eye contact, I reached behind me and pulled the seat as far down as it would go. I then pulled Edward's arm, willing him to get on top of me. He looked troubled, as if there was a dilemma being debated behind his eyes. The debate was won when I took one of his fingers and began kissing it and then sucking on it slowly, never breaking eye contact with him. He climbed on top of me, placing his legs between mine. I smiled, trying to tell him that I was ok with whatever happened. He seemed satisfied with the look I provided him, because he resumed kissing my neck. I moaned again, this time a bit louder than before. I could feel a heat arising from between my legs as something hard poked me in the stomach gently.

I reached down and tugged at the waistband of his jeans. He looked up at me.

"We don't have to do anything tonight," He said, always the gentleman. I internally thanked him for that. I had other ideas, however.

"I know. But I want to," I inhaled sharply. "I want you,"

That was all the encouragement Edward needed. He placed a kiss upon my lips again and then focused on getting his jeans off. Once they were around his ankles, he went to work removing my jeans. He unzipped them slowly, watching my reaction intensely. I just nodded. I lifted my hips to help him pull them down. My white panties were soaked by this point, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Edward. He slowly hooked his index fingers around the sides of the panties and pulled them down slowly, taking in the sight before him.

"Oh God," He murmured as he saw me exposed in the moonlight. I must have blushed as usual because my face was blazing hot. It wasn't as if I had never been naked in front of a guy, but this was the first time that I was naked in front of an absolutely, heartbreakingly gorgeous one.

Edward placed all of his weight on one hand while the other moved towards his boxer briefs. He continued to look into my eyes as he lowered his boxer briefs down. Once he too was exposed, I almost gasped at the size of him. I harboured the suspicion that he was absolutely perfect, and now I had confirmation that he was perfect in every way. He lowered himself on me, ensuring that he didn't place all of his weight on me.

"Bella, are you sure?"

I wrapped my arms around him, lowering him closer to me. I could feel his shaft dangerously close to my core.

"Yes, please, Edward," I hesitated, trying to find the right word. This was more than fucking, that's for sure. But it wasn't making love, although it was fairly close to it. "I want you so badly."

He nodded his resolve, and reached into the glove compartment of the car. He pulled out a condom and quickly ripped the package. He rolled the condom on effortlessly and placed himself at my entrance. I wrapped my legs around his waist and hooked my ankles together, digging my heels into his ass to push him toward me.

I could feel the tip of his cock at my entrance.

"Please," I whispered.

He slowly began to enter me. I closed my eyes at the sensations, but he stopped and made me look at him.

"Keep your eyes open, Bella. I want to see you enjoy this as much as I do," He whispered. I nodded, keeping my eyes trained on him. He continued entering me until he filled me completely. I moaned in ecstasy.

"Oh Bella, you feel better than I ever dreamed you'd feel," Edward said as he buried his face in the crook of my neck. He pulled out of me slightly, and then filled me up again. His thrusts became rhythmic. I started to feel the lust take over me. I began thinking in dirty words, and some of them slipped out as Edward began thrusting a bit quicker than before.

"Fuck me, Edward," I moaned. "Oh God, fuck me Edward, mmmmm..." He moaned in response and sped his movements up noticeably. This was probably the worst and most uncomfortable place I'd ever had sex in, yet it was the most erotic and incredible sex yet.

"Is this what you imagined?" Edward asked between thrusts. "Am I what you imagined?"

"Yea, and more. You are unbelievable. You are fucking unbelievable," I added.

"And you are incredible," He said in reverie, smiling as he moved in and out of me. "I can't believe I'm fucking Bella Swan," he chuckled. I laughed lightly in response.

"And I can't believe I'm being fucked by Edward Cullen," It was too easy a line for me to pass up, I thought with a smile.

He assaulted my neck again with a barrage of kisses and nips that nearly sent me over the edge of desire. What finally did me in was when he lowered his face to my ear and moaned.

"Oh, Bella," he crooned. My name had never sounded more sexually loaded. With that, I tightened around his cock and experienced an incredible orgasm that had me saying incoherent jibberish that resembled English.

"Ed...oh G...coming...yes!" I screamed as he continued pushing himself deep within me and pulling himself out again, only to shove himself back inside of me.

My orgasm was probably what sent him spinning too, because he sounded like I had just sounded.

"Bella...ahhh...I'm coming..." He said as he came inside of me with a few final thrusts. He remained in the same position on top of me for a few moments, trying to catch his breath. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and hugged him, smiling contentedly.

"Thank you, Edward," I sighed.

"No, thank you Bella. That was too much for words." He planted a kiss on my forehead and buried his face again in the crook of my neck. We lay there for a few moments in silence. It wasn't awkward silence, though. We were basking in the pure happiness of the moment. I certainly didn't want to spoil anything by talking. I knew that some guys didn't enjoy the post-sex banter. Much to my surprise, Edward cleared his throat and broke the silence. He lifted his head and met my gaze. There was a serious look within his eyes.

"So, Bella, I was hoping that we could go out again. And maybe again after that. And this may sound juvenile, but maybe you'd like to be my girlfriend."

I couldn't contain my smile. "That was really cute," I giggled, lifting my head high enough to meet his lips with my own. I placed a gentle kiss on his lips. "Of course. I'd love to go out again. And I'll gladly be your girlfriend." He grinned from ear to ear and returned the hug I gave him moments earlier.

***

After Edward dropped me off at home, I had a chance to reflect on the night's events. Of course I had no idea things would go that far, and even though I should have been disgusted with myself for putting out on the first date, I felt comfortable with it. It had never felt rushed or inappropriate. It had just felt right. The romantic side of me was telling me that there was a reason that the sex had felt that incredible, while the pessimist side was screaming at me that Edward was a guy and guys only thought with their dicks. I hadn't made up the meaningful looks he tossed in my direction all evening. I knew he hadn't taken advantage of me at all. Sure, he took me to that park, but it was hardly his fault that it wasn't nearly as well-lit as he had hoped. It was not weird at all being with him.

I was preparing for bed, pulling back the comforters and turning down the sheets, when my cell started ringing. I glanced at the caller ID:

ALICE'S HOUSE

It was Alice asking for an update on what had happened on our date. I sighed, because I hadn't thought of what to tell her. Do I tell my best friend that I had sex with her brother? I inhaled and exhaled, trying to ready myself for the conversation I knew was coming.

"Hey Alice,"

"Uh, it's Edward. I hope it's ok that I call you this late at night," Edward's rich voice came through the earpiece and nearly toppled me with the emotion in it.

"No, it's OK. Did you just get home?"

"Yea, I just wanted to hear your voice before I went to bed, and tell you that I had an amazing time with you," He said gently. I knew that I blushed at his words. Again, my mind reverted back to the word unreal to describe the evening.

"I had an amazing time, too. Well, amazing is not an adequate enough word..."

He laughed. "I feel the same way. So, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"I have an essay I have to finish writing, but I should be done by the afternoon. You?"

"Nothing planned. Did you want to come over and watch a DVD here at the house with Alice and I after you finish your essay?"

"That would be great. What are we watching?"

"Anything you want. You can decide when you get here. You know how vast of a DVD collection we have." It was true. They had over 500 movies and DVD collector's sets at their disposal.

"Ok, that sounds great," I glanced at the time. It was a little past midnight. "Sorry Edward, but I had better get to bed so that I can wake up early and work on the essay."

"No problem. I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night Bella, sweet dreams," Edward said sweetly.

"They will definitely be sweet because of you. Good night, Edward."

As I pressed END on the phone, I threw myself on my bed and laughed nearly hysterically. I couldn't believe how my luck had changed. Last week, I was a moderately popular girl trying to get Mike Newton off my back. Tonight, I was Edward Cullen's girlfriend.

The gods were smiling down upon me tonight.
