I sat in his car as Edward drove. His strong, cool hand was wrapped around mine.

"You look beautiful in that dress." Edward complemented me. He looked at me. Alice was right about what Edward would like me in.

"Alice picked it out for me." I smiled, looking at him. His profile was masculine and beautiful looking at the road. I saw a hint of a smile emerge on his face.

He stopped in a dark alley that looked somewhat familiar. Normally, I'd be scared, but I was with Edward, and I knew he would never let anything bad happen to me.

"Edward, where are we?" I asked, curious to why he would stop in this dark alley. He pulled out a plain white cotton cloth from his coat pocket.

"Do you trust me?" He asked, his voice as smooth as silk. Even in the dark, I could still see his topaz eyes staring deeply into mine.

"Of course I do." I said. Why wouldn't I?

Without saying another word, Edward got out of the car and in lighting speed, was at my side opening my door so I could get out.

"Turn around and close your eyes." He said softly. I was skeptical at what he was up to, but I trusted him with all my heart. I turned around and he put the white cloth over my eyes and tied it so I couldn't see a thing. I turned back around so I was facing him.

I could smell his sweet, irresistible breath inches from mine.

"You'll love where I'm taking you." He kissed me on my forehead and wrapped his arm lightly around my waist. He guided me slowly blinded down the sidewalk. Millions of questions went through my head at one time.

Where was he taking me?

How many people were staring at us?

I don't think very many places get people walking down the sidewalk blindfolded. I was careful not to embarass myself by not tripping in heels and falling flat on my face.

Finally, we stopped.

My eyes were still closed even with the blindfold over my eyes. He removed his hand from around my waist and untied the cloth.

"Open your eyes." He whispered softly.

My eyes fluttered open and there it was, the oh-so-familiar restaurant that seemed like centuries ago from that last time we went here.

La Bella Italia

I was shocked. The restaurant that Edward took me after saving me from the frat boys after I went with Angela and Jessica to help them pick out prom dresses.

The restaurant where I truly found out what he really was. Some of the most memorable memories I had of us was in this restaurant.

"Oh, my gosh, Edward." I said not staring at him. "This really is a surprise!"

"I rented out the whole place, just for the two of us." He said with a soft smile. I turned towards him and stood on my tippy-toes and kissed him sincerely on his lips. When I pulled away, he grabbed my hand and we walked inside the restaurant.

"Good evening." The hostess welcomed.

Fortunately, it wasn't the same lady we had the last time we came here. She had long, straight, red hair that went past her shoulders. She was very tall and slinder and had green eyes and had lots of freckles.

"Cullen." Edward stated with authority.

"Oh, you're the people who rented out the place." She said with a smirk as her eyebrows disappered into her thick red bangs. "Right this way." She said, picking up two menus and led us to our table.

She sat us down at a table with two seats and a vase with beautiful, red roses. They were elegantly bent over the edge of the vase and so stunning with the velvet texture. "Your server will be right with you." She said, handing us our menus and then left.

"You know, you didn't have to do all this." I told him gratefully. Edward stared at me smiling with his eyes.

"I wouldn't have minded staying at home with you guys."

"I wanted to do something special for you." Edward stated, reaching across the table and grabbing my hand. He rubbed his thumb in a circular motion on the back of my hand. At that time, our watress came walking over to our table with a big grin stretched across her face. Her thin blonde hair was pushed back by a headband. She was very gangly looking, but had a nice face.

"Hi, I'm Chloe. I'll be your server tonight! Can I get you guys started by something to drink?" She asked cheerfully. She looked back and forth between Edward and I.

"I'll take a coke, please." I replyed. She nodded at me once with a soft smile and then turned her attention to Edward.

"Nothing for me." He answered her back at me.

"One coke." She said with smile. "I'll be right back with your drink and to take your orders." She walked away.

"Déjà vu" I stated with a chuckled. Edward stared at me with his confused face.

"What?"

"It's like our first date all over again." He gave a soft warm laugh. "But I like this better." He said, taking in the quiet, subtle atmosphere of the restaurant and looking back at me. His eyes were like honey. The gangly waitress returned with two cokes. She set the fizzy beverage down gently in front of us. She pulled out a small white notepad and a pen from her apron pocket.

"Are you guys ready or do you need more time? She asked ready to take our orders. "Yeah, I'll take the mushroom raviolis." I said looking at her and back at Edward. He pulled his lips in trying to hold in a smile. It was like an inside joke between us. "And for you?" She turned her attention towards Edward. He cleared his throat to swallow his laughter. "Oh, Nothing for me." He looked at me as she finished writing down my order. I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Alrighty!" She clicked her pen in. "I'll be back with your mushroom raviolis." She said to me and I watched her walk out of the room, biting my lip. Edward scoffed as he lowered his head shaking it with a smile.

"What?" I chuckled

"You."

"What did I do?" I could feel the blood warming up my cheeks.

"I'm making our first anniversary exactly like our first date." He chuckled.

"I like it." He said, watching me take a sip of my soda.

He grabbed my fingers and placed the back of my hand against his lips, he kissed it tenderly. He weaved his fingers in between mine and held it there on the table. I placed my hand upon his.

"I love you." I said, with deep passion looking deep in his eyes.

He put his other hand gently on my cheek. I leaned my face on it softly, closing my eyes slowly for a moment and opened. His cool hand slid down my cheek, under my chin and slowly closed his fingers into the palm of his hand. I was feeling slightly light headed. I took another sip of my soda. Maybe the coolness of the drink will bring me back down to earth. I could see our waitress returning with my plate of food, Edward had yet to let go of my hand. She placed the plates of raviolis in front me.

I let go of Edward's hand to unravel the silverware. I layed the cloth across my lap and picked up my fork and popped a ravioli in my mouth.

"How are your raviolis? Edward asked.

"Really good!" I said happily as I popped another one in my mouth. The gangly waitress returned.

"I like watching you eat. It entertains me." Edward said, like he was confessing something he had bottled up. He stared at me as I laughed at his unique complement. No one has ever complemented me on how I eat.

"Really, how so?" I chuckled. He was still staring at me with his golden eyes.

"You're table manners are very mature for your age. For someone as clumsy as you, you have yet to drop sauce on your beautiful dress." Edward stated. I looked down at my dress, and there wasn't anything on it. I was relived.

"How's everything tasting?" She asked

"Everything is exellent, thank you." I repled, as I wiped my mouth.

"Okie dokie, I'll be back with the bill." And she left. She came back in no time "You guys can pay when you're ready. Enjoy the rest of your night." She said with a big smile on her face. Edward slipped money into the pocket without looking at the bill.

"Are you ready? He asked, flashing his crooked smile once again, pushing his chair back to get out. "Yeah, lets go." It was such a good dinner and night. I didn't want it to end. He held out his hand once more and I took it. We walked out of the room.

"Goodnight, you two!" The Hostess with the red hair said waving goodbye. Edward turned slightly around.

"Goodnight ladies." Edward thanked them rasing his hand up. Edward opened the door for me. We walked down the street hand in hand, this time with out the blindfold.

"Did you enjoy your dinner?" Edward asked

"I loved it, thank you." I answered.

We had approched his car in no time, and he opened the door for me. I got in, by the time he shut the door. I was kinda sad that the night was coming to an end. Edward started the ignition and we drove down the road. He didn't go down the same road we came from.

"Did you think that was the end of our night?" He asked. It was almost too dark to see his facial expression.

"Yeah." I replyed. Was it really the end to our night? I asked myself.

"Well," He said "I've got another surprise for you."
