SO sorry it's been so long, who knows if anyone still wants to read this! But, if you do, I would appreciate it and some feedback

BPOV:

So that was the best night's sleep I have EVER had. I dreamt of Edward all night long (more that I usually would). Mind you, the content of my dreams had changed slightly. Instead of me dreaming about Edward confessing his love for me, I started dreaming about…well…new things. Things that were definitely not PG13.

As I sat down at the breakfast table, I noticed Renee staring at me.

"Mom, what are you looking at? You're starting to freak me out."

"Oh nothing,' she giggled.

"What?!"

"Honey, I know you're very happy about being with Edward, but please, be careful. I don't want to be a grandma for at least ten years. You know how hard it was when your father and I had you so young. And Carlisle and Esme for that matter. Don't follow in our footsteps."

"OK, now I am really confused. What the hell are you talking about, woman?"

She laughed. "Honey, you were moaning and groaning in your sleep last night. Even I can guess what you were dreaming about."

Oh. My. God. My face was bright red. My mother knowing I wanted to do all kinds of things to Edward was NOT something I needed. God help me if she tells Charlie.

"OK, for starters, that is so embarrassing and so none of your business. And secondly, we got together yesterday! We haven't even been on a date yet!"

"Bella, sweetie, you know each other inside out, you think a date is going to change that?"

"OK, Mom, we're done here. I have to go to school. "

"Bye, sweetheart, I love you!" she laughed as I walked out the door, beet red.

Edward had an early music class on Tuesdays, so Alice and I caught the bus together. I waited outside the house for her. It was unusual for her not to be waiting for me. Since I am possibly the clumsiest person ever to walk the planet, it can take me a while to get ready.

Finally, I heard the door nextdoor close and Alice rushed to meet me.

"What took you so long? We'll barely make the bus!"

"Sorry Bells, I had a very important conversation to eavesdrop on."

"Oh God, no please no! Mom rang Esme already? This might be the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me!"

"Of course it's not, Bella. Remember that time when Emmett-"

"OK, OK, I get it. Anyway, let's get this over with. Go ahead, let it all out."

"Oh my God, I have been waiting so long for this! Bella, you know now these dreams will actually come true! By the way, I want details. Or maybe I don't, it is my brother we're talking about."

"Alice! Calm down. We haven't even been out yet. It's not like I'm going to jump him as soon as I see him." OK, so that was a lie. That was exactly what I wanted to do.

"Uh ha," she said rolling her eyes. "Whatever you say…"

We reached the bus stop right as the bus pulled up. I knew Alice would be dying to tell Rose when we got there, so I hoped the bus broke down.

As it turned out, I had no such luck. The bus trip was quicker than any other Tuesday. Fantastic.

Alice and Rose took great delight in teasing me ALL day. Although I think that was better than when they started giving me 'tips.'

"Oh, you know what you should do? You-" Rose began excitedly.

"You know what you should do? Shut up! This is beyond ridiculous. Don't you think you've embarrassed me enough for one day?"

"But Bella, you guys have never done this before!"

"Exactly! It will be weird enough without adding leather into the mix. I think we can figure it out when we, you know, get to that…stage."

As if this day had not been horrible enough, Jessica and Lauren happened to catch the last part of the conversation. Even they could work out what we had been talking about.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Bella getting sex advice? Oh this is too good. You've finally given up your pathetic crush on Edward. So who's the poor guy who has to sleep with you?"

"Fuck off Jessica," Rose sneered. "Don't pretend you ever had a chance with Edward. He has class, and you wouldn't know the meaning of the word."

"Well for your information, Edward and I totally had a thing last year." She was fuming, but had never been a good liar. When she said she had slept with most of the football team at Edward's school, I didn't doubt her for a second.

Rose sneezed. "Oh, excuse me, I'm allergic to bullshit."

And with that, we walked out of the school, Alice and I laughing our asses off and Rose with a smirk on her face.

EPOV:

I hated Tuesdays. I didn't get to drop Bella and spend time with her.

Emmett and Jasper gave me shit all day about Bella and I finally getting our act together. They 'felt it was their duty' to give me advice.

"Whatever you do, make sure she is well satisfied. If she is anything like Rose, you won't get any for a week-"

"OK hold on," Jasper began. "I think maybe we need to start with the basics. I mean, they haven't done this before…"

"You know what, you guys? I think we'll be fine. I really, really don't need your 'advice'. I'm going to pick the girls up."

I couldn't stand to hear any more come out of their mouths.

As I pulled up outside the Hogwarts looking school, I noticed Bella, Alice and Rosalie were laughing so hard they were holding onto each other. Well, at least it looks like they didn't give Bella a hard time today.

They wandered over to the car and Rose waved goodbye as she waited for Jasper to arrive to take her home.

Bella hopped into the front seat and leaned over to kiss me. I had waited all day for this moment. I guess we were getting carried away, as we heard a cough from the back seat.

"Um, best friend and sister watching! Get a room! Ugh."

"Uh Alice," Bella stated, "Do you know how many times we have had to watch you and Jasper practically jump each other? This doesn't even come close, so shut the hell up."

I laughed as Alice scowled, knowing it was true.

"So, how was your day?" I asked as I held her hand.

"Well apart from your sister and Rose giving me hell, it was OK." I rolled my eyes. Of course they gave her shit.

"What were you guys laughing at before?"

They both let out a laugh. "Oh, nothing. Rose just put Jessica Stanley in her place and it was gold."

"That girl is as awful as that guy Newton who is always hitting on you when you visit."

"Oh yeah!" Alice exclaimed. "I forgot about him. He is such a creep." She shuddered.

When we arrived home, Alice said goodbye and walked inside while I walked Bella to her door.

"So, um, Bella," I feigned nervousness. "I was wondering, what are you, um, doing on Friday?"

Bella caught on and acted completely oblivious. "I don't know, I'd have to check with Alice, she always has the weekend planned. Why? Did you have something in mind?" she asked innocently.

"Well, I was wondering if maybe you would like to have dinner with me?"

We both burst out laughing, unable to keep up the act anymore.

"Yes, Edward, that would be nice. Where will we go?"

"Don't worry, I've got it sorted. I should get home, I've got swim practice. I love you," I said, kissing her gently.

"You're not getting away that easy," she said cheekily and pulled me towards her and kissed me so deeply I thought we would both faint.

"I love you too", she said sweetly and walked inside. She was teasing me. I was now fully aroused I had to carry my back pack in front of me. Time for a cold shower and a long swim.

BPOV:

I knew I was teasing him, but to be honest I was teasing myself too. I did not want that to stop and I loved the effect it had on him. We so don't need our friends' advice, I think we've got it all figured out. All we need now is some self control. Well, I do anyway.

I couldn't wait for our date on Friday. It was hilarious and sweet how he asked me and knowing the extravagance of the Cullen family, this date was sure to be amazing. I was going out with Edward, that made it amazing automatically.

Over the next few days, still enduring teasing and 'advice' from Alice and Rose, I started getting really nervous.

"Guys, listen. You know I really, really want to be with Edward. But…"

"But what?" Alice asked, concerned.

"Well with all these feelings I have and all this stuff you guys have been talking about this week, I'm starting to feel…like I'm not ready. I mean, this has all happened so fast. Last week we were best friends and now everyone's talking about sex? I'm so…"

"Nervous?" Rose suggested. "Hon, that's OK! We didn't mean to freak you out, we're just so happy you finally got together."

"Absolutely," Alice agreed. "You don't need to jump into bed straight away. I mean, we can't really talk…but Jasper and I and Rosalie and Emmett didn't have the same friendship as you and Edward. Of course it's going to be different."

"But what if Edward is ready? I don't want to hurt his feelings…"

"Edward loves you. He will support you."

EPOV:

I had our date planned right down to the last detail. Alice, of course in insisted on helping, so I allowed her but only if she swore on Esme's life that she wouldn't spill anything to Bella. I wanted it to be a surprised.

Friday night could not come fast enough. I walked next door at 7pm and Renee opened the door with a smile from ear to ear. She seemed as excited as Esme.

"Bella! Edward is here!"

"Alright! I'll be down in a minute! Damn, Edward you should know by now I'm never on time!" she called from upstairs. Renee and I laughed as she made her way down the stairs.

I walked up to her and pecked her on the lips.

"Hi", she said sweetly. Renee insisted on taking a photo, much to Bella's disgust.

"Mom, we are going for dinner, it's not like we are getting married! Come on, let's get out of here."

I opened the car door for her and walked around the car. Suddenly, I was nervous. Bella and I had been out so many times by ourselves before, but this was different.

BPOV:

I could tell Edward was nervous. It was cute. I knew how he felt, we'd been out so many times before but tonight was completely different.

We pulled up at the trail that leads towards the Forks' Lookout. I was thoroughly confused when Edward started leading me up the trail.

"Um, Edward? Where exactly are we going? You're not coming out here to kill me are you?"

He laughed. "Bella, if wanted to kill you we would have just gone hiking. You'll see."

"Well, in case you hadn't noticed, this kind of is hiking. Where are we going? You know I hate surprises!"

"You'll like this one, I promise. Not much further."

EPOV:

I knew this route would throw her off. I also knew she hated surprises but I was confident this one would not get me into trouble.

BPOV:

We came to a clearing and I gasped. We had ended up at the meadow Edward had led me to earlier in the week. The sneaky bastard led me a different way.

"Edward, it's beautiful." There was a rug in the middle of the clearing with a basket and candles. It was perfectly cheesy.

"Come on, let's go sit down." I followed him to the picnic rug and sat down. I opened the basket and rolled my eyes. "Alice helped you, didn't she?"

"How did you know?"

"Please, like you would have packed caviar. Thank God she packed normal food too."

He laughed. "That's true. I don't know anyone who even likes caviar." There was an awkward silence, something that had never happened between us before.

EPOV:

This silence was so strange. There has never been a moment in the entire time I have known Bella where she hasn't had something to say. She had a strange look on her face, like she wanted to say something but didn't know how.

"Bella? Is everything OK?" She looked at me with confusion.

"Yes, this is great, it's just…"

"What? What's the matter? Did I do something?"

"No! No, not at all, it's just that I wanted to talk to you about something but I don't know how, which is weird because we've always told each other everything but it's just so different now and-"

"Bella, you're babbling."

"Right, thank you. I'm sorry, I just don't know how to do this." Oh God, was she breaking up with me? On our first date? "OK, here goes. Edward, I love you, more than you know, but…" She paused. When she didn't start speaking again, I started to get really worried.

"But? Bella, tell me what you're thinking. You can tell me anything."

BPOV:

That was what I needed to hear. I knew I could tell him anything, but this was not like anything I had ever said to him before.

"OK. I just feel like…everything is moving so fast. And I know all our friends have been teasing us about, well, you know, but I just…don't think I'm ready. I just really want to take it slow and get used to being a couple, and not just friends. I'm sorry."

EPOV:

She looked down, as though she was ashamed, I put my finger under chin and lifted it slowly.

"Bella, I would never pressure you into anything you didn't want to do. And to be honest, I feel the same way. It's still a strange feeling, a good feeling, but strange, to be kissing you let alone anything else."

Her eyes filled with tears and she leaned forward and kissed me gently. We lay down and looked up at the stars. It was perfect.

BPOV:

It was the type of scene we would have laughed at and made fun of in movies, but right here, right now, it felt perfect.
