Hey guys! Please, don't be too mad at me. I know it's been awhile since the last update, buuut I am going to try really really hard to get these up sooner. Promise :-]

Just a little note: their relationship is going to progress really quickly. Why? Because I like when that happens. I'm aware of how unrealistic that is, and maybe that's the point…

Well, here you are…

"Don't forget, Bella, one hour."

I watched her as she drove away. I didn't want the night to end so quickly, and that food couldn't make a fucking newborn baby feel full, so I decided to ask Bella if she wanted to go somewhere else to have a real dinner. "She agreed to go out with me." I said to myself. "She really fucking agreed to go out with me." I shook my head and walked over to the valet who was standing next to my car. "Dude, she agreed to go out with me!" I said to him, probably looking like an asshole. I jumped in the car before he could respond and pulled away. I was too excited.

There's just something about this girl that makes me want to get to know her, buy her pretty things, and spend the rest of my life telling her how fat she isn't. Fuck me. Did I just say the rest of my life? I just met the girl and I'm already talking about forever.

Well, you can't ignore how you feel.

Sometimes, I really wish inner Edward would shut the fuck up.

You know I'm right.

I turn up whatever song this is on the radio to drown out my inner asshole. When I recognized it as a Lady Gaga song, I could feel the smile creep across my face.

Bella loves Lady Gaga.

I don't fucking know Bella.

You know that doesn't matter. Did you see her ass? What about her breasts? I mean, dude, she's sexy as fuck.

Ok, did inner Edward really just call me dude? I shook my head and flipped through the stations until I found something that could take my mind off of Bella for the moment. Some heavy metal song finally started playing, so I turned the radio all the way up and concentrated on getting back to the apartment.

XOXOX

"Stupid motherfucker forgot to get Bella's cell phone number," I muttered to myself as I kicked around a bottle while waiting for Bella to come outside.

"Who's a stupid motherfucker?" the voice of my personal angel, I mean Bella, asked, making me trip over the bottle I had been kicking.

"Uhm, er, no one." I stammered out as I got myself together. I was acting like a nervous teenager. I'm not even sure why, considering that this is technically our second date. I turned around, and was met with a different, but sexier, version of Bella. She had kept her hair the same, except it was now in a ponytail. She had on T-Shirt, extremely tight fucking T-Shirt that said "If At First You Don't Succeed Then Maybe You Just Suck", a pair of skinny jeans and some perfectly-worn Chucks. She looked perfect. "Wow, Bella, you look great." I said after what probably looked like eye-fucking her.

"Thanks," she said as that beautiful blush rose in her cheeks. She wouldn't look up at me, so I walked over to her and tilted her chin up with my thumb and forefinger. "Hey, I mean it." I whispered to her with a wink. I escorted her to the passenger side of the car, and opened the door for her.

"Edward," she started out as soon as we drove off.

"Mmhmm?"

"I don't mean to sound rude, but how in the fuck can you have a favorite restaurant in Seattle when you just moved here not ten hours ago. You're not going to take me to some alley, kill me, and then eat me, are you?" She asked with a seemingly straight face. I could see she was trying to suppress a smile, though.

I laughed. "Number one, Bella, if I was going to eat you, "I made sure to put a lot of emphasis on the word eat, "then you would be alive to enjoy the awesomeness of my tongue." She blushed. I fucking love that blush. "And even if I were going to kill you, would I seriously tell you? I mean, come to think of it, you did agree to go out on a second date with the same man in the same night. Are you some kind of serial killer who preys on men by being too sexy and funny?"

She looked at me for a minute and responded with her best impression of my voice, "Would I seriously tell you?"

"I guess not," I chuckled back at her. "And to answer your first question, Jasper and I have grandparents that used to live in Forks. When we would come to visit, our Grandpa would take us to this little place on the outskirts of Seattle, and it became my favorite restaurant."

She nodded her head. "Where are your grandparents now?"

"They're both…dead." I had to swallow the sob that tried to escape. It still hurt to think about their deaths.

"I'm so sorry, Edward." Bella replied softly. She grabbed my hand, in a completely platonic way, and rubbed it. Even though I knew she was trying to comfort me, it still made my dick twitch. I'm so screwed up.

"It's ok. They both lived a really long life, and they died with smiles on their faces."

"That's really amazing," she whispered back. Not to me, but just in general. She was rubbing circles in my hand, probably absent mindedly, and my dick was getting too excited, so I had to pull my hand away.

"Bella, if you keep doing that I might fall asleep behind the wheel." She blushed and apologized quietly.

We had settled into a comfortable silence, only saying things when they randomly popped into our minds. I asked her who her favorite football team was, in which she responded the Saints, and she asked me what my favorite kind of music was, in which I responded classical.

XOXOX

We had finally made it to the restaurant, and I sighed out of relief. Midway through the drive, Bella had grabbed my hand again, after she asked me if I had any pets and I told her about my dead dog Oscar, and had started with the circles again. My cock was getting fed up and pretty much wanted to push its way from the confines my jeans into the warmth of Bella's. I parked the car and jumped out so I could adjust little Eddie. Opening Bella's door with a tent in my pants would have been rude.

I opened her door and put my hand out for her to take. When she got out the car, I thought she would let my hand go, but she held on to it. I smiled at this. We made our way inside the diner and sat ourselves in a booth located in the back of the restaurant.

As soon as we sat down, a waitress came over with a menu and asked for our drinks.

"I'll just have water." Bella said to the waitress with a contagious smile on her face. I wonder how she can smile so carefree, and make other people want to smile with her. "Same here." I said as I smiled at Bella. There was really something special about this girl.

When the waitress left, I remembered that I never told Bella what I did for a living.

"You know what sucks?" I asked her after the waitress brought our drinks and too our orders.

"Black holes." She said this with a straight face. I must have looked really confused because the giggled and touched my face. "I'm just kidding, Edward. What sucks?"

I shook my head and laughed. "You don't know what my job is."

"Let me guess."

"Um, ok."

"Are you a personal trainer?" She asked while obviously staring at my arms.

"No," I chuckled at her, "I just work out on a regular basis. Not for pay, though."

"Ok. Are you a stripper?"

I laughed really hard at this one. "Nope. But I'd consider it." I responded to her with a wink.

"Hmm," she said while rubbing her chin and squinting her eyes. This girl was hilarious and I couldn't help but smile. She looked like she was really concentrating, so I just helped her out. "I'm a boxer, Bella."

"Wow. That explains the nose and everything then."

"Yeah, well in boxing, leaving the fight with only a broken nose means you were a hell of a lot more lucky then the other guy." Bella smiled at me and shook her head after I said this. She looked in my eye, and tilted her head to the side a little, almost like she was looking for something.

"This is really great, Edward. Thank you." She finally said.

The waitress brought our food out, and we ate in semi-silence. Well Bella ate, and I blatantly stared at her perfection. She seemed to be enjoying whatever the fuck it was she ordered, and I enjoyed watching her eat it. I took a few bites of my food, but I couldn't concentrate on it with Bella on the other side of the table. Watching her eat was different. Not because she was really gross and had sauce every fucking where, like some women who shall remain nameless, but because she savored every bite of it. Every time she put something in her mouth, she let out a tiny moan, and it gave me the fucking shivers for some reason.

That's because deep down inside you want to be the one making her moan like that, except much louder.

I am not thinking about having sex with Bella.

You can't fool me, I am you.

I should really stop holding these conversations with myself. That shit is not ok.

"Edward," Bella moaned out, effectively breaking me out of my trance. My dick sprang to full fucking attention with the way she said my name. "You have to try this!" Bella put her fork at my mouth, and I hurriedly took it in. I'm not sure if it was from the taste of Bella on that fork, or the actual food, but I ended up moaning, too.

"It's so delicious, right?" She asked as she took her fork back too soon and started eating again.

"You are so fucking delicious." I muttered out. My eyes went wide when I realized what I said. Bella's eyes were the same size. "I, uh mean, it was so delicious. Mmm so good." I stammered out quickly. Bella smiled shyly and went back to eating. I sighed and rubbed my hands through my hair.

After we, really just Bella, finished eating, I paid the bill. She made me promise that if I paid for dinner this time, then she would be responsible for it next time. I agreed because I wanted to see her smile again.

There wasn't much conversation on the drive back, but that wasn't a bad thing. We didn't have to talk to see that we weren't just two random people forced to go on a blind date by an overly-energetic pixie. There was something more, and we both wanted to explore it. We wanted to see how far this would go, and if fate was really on our side because this was obviously no coincidence.

When I walked Bella to her door, the look in her eyes told me she felt the same way. The spark I felt when I touched her cheek and the gleam she got in her eye when my fingers ghosted over her lips convinced me that, just like to me, this was going to be much more than casual dating.

I kissed Bella's cheek, and let my lips linger there a little longer than necessary. I pulled back she gave me that beautiful smile I would pay anything to see.

"Goodnight, Bella." Are you ready to take this journey of love with me?

"Goodnight, Edward." More than anything in this world.

So, the date is finally over. I can see you over there clapping! Haha, but seriously, please tell me what you think. I love the reviews but I love you guys even more! Tell me what you want to see happen in a review. Until next time,
