Chapter Four : The Date

The next morning I woke up and went downstairs and Dad was sitting at the kitchen table drinking his morning coffee.

"Morning, Dad. Do you want some breakfast?"

"Morning, Bella. Yeah, sure I will have some breakfast."

I go some bacon and eggs from the fridge and started to cook them. After they were done I give them to Dad. I went to the cupboard and got some cereal and ate.

"See you later, Bells. I am going fishing with Billy and Harry. I will be back around two"

"Dad, hold on a second."

"Yeah?"

"Is it okay if I go on a date with Edward Cullen tonight?"

"Yeah, sure as long as you are home by curfew."

"Alright, Dad. Thanks."

I walked up to him and gave a peck on the cheek.

"See you later, Dad."

I went upstairs and grabbed my phone and called Alice. She answered after 3 rings.

"Hi, Bella, what's up?"

"I have a date with Edward Cullen. "

"What? Really? When?"

"Tonight at 7. I, seriously need you help I have nothing to wear. Can I wear something of yours tonight?"

"Of course. I will bring some dresses now."

"Thanks, Alice. You are life-saver."

10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. It was Alice. We went up to my room. She brought three dresses. One was black strapless, the other two were a red halter neck and white one shoulder. I really liked the black strapless. So, I chose that one.

Alice left and I went downstairs and made some lunch for myself. Dad came home at two and I made him lunch. After lunch, I went upstairs and tidied my room. It took me an hour because Alice was messing with my make-up on what kind of makeup I should wear.

I watched t.v. for the rest of the day. And around 5 I had a shower and put on make-up, did my hair and got dressed. It took me two hours to get ready. I heard a horn and grabbed my bag and went outside. And went outside. He looked at me with his mouth open. I got to the car and got in.

"Hey, Bella, how are you?"

"I am fine, you?"

"I am good. So where are we going?"

"Wait and see."

He drove for a good 30 minutes before we got there. He parked outside a restaurant on the waterfront. It was breathtaking. We went inside and a seat in one of the booths. We ate and talked about everything. I told about my family and my friends back home.

"In January, I started outside with out this guy named Jacob and then just three weeks ago I found out he was dating another girl behind my back her name was Leah."

"Well, it's his lose, you are a great girl."

And then after dinner we went for a walk out on the waterfront. We sat down on a bench and he ask me a question that shunned me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I was gobsmacked at this question. I thought about it. And my answer was:

"Yes, I will."

We kissed for about a minute. We went back to the car holding hands. I couldn't believe I had a boyfriend just after breaking up with Jacob. We arrived a half hour later outside my house.

"Can I walk you to our door?"

"Yeah, okay."

He walked me to my door. We kissed and said good-bye. When I got in Alice was sitting on a step on the stairs.

"What happened? Tell me everything. I want all the deets."

We went upstairs and I got into my pajamas. I sat on my bed and she sat down beside me and I told her everything. I told the part when he ask me to be his girlfriend. She was shocked.
