All I could feel was pain. It was in my head and in my nose. The pain burned like fire. Everything was black, but that could have been because my eyes were closed.

I slowly opened my eyes; blurry images came slightly in focus. I saw people and heard murmurs, but I couldn't make out exactly what they were saying.

I blinked a couple more times and heard the murmurs get louder.

"Bella?" I heard Alice and Rosalie's panic stricken voices say.

"Ugh, it burns," I tried to say. I was now getting full use of my senses. I smelled hospital, heard the clear sound of the multiple sighs of relief, and saw everyone in the room including the most handsome pair of emerald green eyes staring back at me from across the room.

I was acutely aware of the nose brace over my, surprise, nose. I let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Nice to see sleeping beauty awake," Emmett's loud voice boomed along with several nervous chuckles.

"Thanks Em, I appreciate that." I retorted. I was still wondering why Edward was here.

I saw Emmett and Rosalie, Alice and Jasper, and Edward along with a nurse staring at Edward. I spent a few minutes chatting with them, everyone except the nurse who left after sliding Edward a piece of paper.

"Hey," I said directly to him. He looked uneasy, almost pained.

"Hey yourself, how are you feeling?" he responded. Alice and Rosalie pulled their men behind them as they took their cue to leave the room.

"It hurts and I don't remember much. Why?" I asked. This god-like creature was so concerned about a girl he barely knew.

"I want to make sure your okay," Edward muttered slightly inaudible and embarresed, but I caught it.

"Anyway, I personally will take care of the hospital bills and any medication you will need. You aren't going to sue, are you?" he asked looking up at me through his eyelashes. It was the hottest damn thing I had seen in a while.

I chuckled. Then I realized Edward was dead serious.

"I am not going to sue you. It was my entire fault. I am always getting injured. I can and will pay for the hospital bill, please." I said trying to worm my way out of his genuine generosity. I really liked him but only met him a few days ago. I hadn't even gone out with him and he was ready to pay my hospital bill. It was cute but I wasn't going to have him do that.

"I was wondering if you would accompany me to this little Italian place Sunday night." He said more like a statement than a question. He was so damn cute asking with his lips in an almost pout.

"Of course, I love too." I said completely and utterly serious. If he asked me to walk in the middle of the street, I would do it. I couldn't deny him anything and I barely knew him.

After that the nurse gave me a nice Vicodin to take the pain away.

Alice and Jasper came in to say goodbye along with Emmett and Rosalie while Edward and I were talking. Alice gave me a "we'll talk about this later" look and left.

The doctor came in around noon, apparently there were a lot of E.R. patients, and told me I had a broken nose and a slight concussion and that if I started to forget things, I should come to the hospital immediately.

Edward gave me a ride home. His silver Volvo purred in our comfortable silence. We had talked a little at the hospital. From what we had talked about there, we had quite a bit in common. We both had, or were getting business degrees; we liked the same type of music, and some of the same books. It was nice and I was sad for it to come to an end.

Edward reached out and grabbed my hand. My heart was beating a million miles a minute and I knew everyone in the city could hear it. He leaned over and his lips brushed my hand.

As I got out of the car, Edward said goodbye and waited for me to get safely into the building. He left me, my heart racing, and lips trembling, to head up to my apartment.

When I got through the door, I squealed. I never squealed.

It was the day after I got the embarrassing nose bandages off. Sunday. I had passed out on the couch for a couple hours before I felt my phone vibrate.

Bella-

Want to meet up for dinner?

-James

I hated when he texted me. I didn't like him like that; in fact, I barely liked him at all. The only thing that kept me working for him was the salary.

James-

Seriously please stop.

I am not interested in you.

-Bella

If he fired me because I didn't want to further my relationship with him then I would find a new job, I could handle it.

I had a date with Edward in an hour. I went and put on my favorite pair of suit pants and a dark blue sweater with silver flats that Alice bought for me and headed out the door.

I started to walk down the stairs of my apartment building when I saw Edward waiting for me at the bottom.

I went a little faster down the stairs than I ment to, and I wasn't paying close enough attention and started to stumble.

I faltered before I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist.

"So are you always this clumsy?" He said while a musical chuckle flowed freely from his lips. I knew I was happy I gave him my number, besides the fact he was gorgeous and had a smile that looked so amazing, even if it was crooked.

"Yep," I said while feeling a blush spread across my cheeks.

"You look beautiful," Edward cooed into my ear. My blush intensified from the light pink to a full on crimson.

"Thank you, you don't look bad yourself," I was able to say slightly coherent. His khaki's and worn leather jacket were just snug enough to be comfortable and sexy at the same time. His blue button up shirt was the same way.

The drive was the same as the one from the hospital, except we played the best game of twenty questions. I got ride to, he got ride back.

"So, who was your first kiss?" Edward asked nonchalantly while I blushed.

"Ummm, my fist kiss was when I was 17 with my best friend Jake." I said hoping not all of the questions would be about my non-existent sex life.

"Really?" Edward asked surprised. I blushed again.

"Yeah, it was like kissing a dog though." I responded. (Sorry, I had to get one dog reference. )

His chuckle let me know everything was okay. He asked me other questions that I fired of answers really fast to. Favorite color; Blue, favorite food; white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, he chuckled at that one. The game stopped when we got to the resteraunt.

He took me to this little place close to a lake. It was called Mi Rosa, or My Rose. It was beautiful inside with candle light tables and the smell of basil and rosemary perforating every breath I took.

Edward's eyes were shining like when you give a kid a new toy. It was hard to look at Edward smile and not smile too.

We went to the hostess table and went to a booth. Edward asked in a low voice for something a little more private while sliding the hostess a bill that I did not want to know the numbers on.

We got a table in the back corner looking over the water and enjoyed our dinner, talking as easily as old friends.

At the end Edward called for the check. When the check came, we both put our credit cards down at the same time. Edward and I looked up into each others eyes and broke into loud laughter. Which meant the old couple sitting next to us shushed us like naughty children.

Edward and I battled until Edward said I could pay the tip, and that was all he would allow.

We walked out of the resterraunt completely satisfied and smiling like the village fool, that's when it happened.

We were walking on the deck outside the resteraunt when Edward and I had a break in conversation. He lowered his head and came closer. My mind was going a mile a minute. He's going to kiss me! I thought. I got ready and then we kissed.

I had only kissed a handful of men in my life before. This kiss blew all of them out of the water, His lips soft and gentle while his hands caressed my face gently. It was sweet while showing some passion.

We broke apart breathing heavily.

"Wow," I said speechless. I couldn't say anything.

"I would say that except more," He responding chuckling.

I took a step back trying to catch my breath when Edward grabbed my hand, but it was too late.

I fell backwards into the water.

I came up spitting and laughing. Edward looked worried for a little bit until he saw me come up laughing. He joined me laughing before trying to lift me out of the water.

I came out sopping wet from head to toe on the most amazing date of my life. Edward put his coat around me like a true gentleman before taking me home so I could dry off.
