As Leah and I were cleaning up the dishes from breakfast I could feel her glancing at me from time to time. She had been awfully quiet during breakfast and kept giving me weird smiles. After another glance, I huffed.

"Can I help you?"

She smirked.

"No, just enjoying this new glow you have going on."

"What are you talking about? I don't have a glow."

Leah's grin was wide.

"Yes, you do. You're happy. It's nice, I've never seen you this happy. You came out this morning with a huge smile, your face all light up. All through breakfast your face kept that smile."

Huh. I had been smiling. I hadn't noticed.

"I am happy, I feel good. Edward texted and asked if I'd like to go on that coffee date today. I said yes. I'm just waiting on him to wake up."

"Awe Bells, that's great."

Once breakfast was all cleaned up and Leah had sent a picture of my tattoo to my mom, I headed to my room to collect my laundry. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon doing different chores around the apartment. Around one I decided I was done and went to sit on the couch to read my favorite book (at the moment) 'The Great Gatsby'. Just as I was getting into it my phone started ringing. I was Edward.

"Hey Bella, I hope it's ok that I called."

He was so sweet.

"Of course it is. How was the rest of your night?"

"It was good, I only had two clients after you, and then finished up some paperwork. How was your night did you sleep ok?"

"I slept wonderfully, thanks for asking."

"Have you had a good morning?"

"It hasn't been to bad of a morning, I had breakfast with Leah and got some chores done around here. I just sat down to read."

"I hope I didn't disturb you."

He sounded so worried. It was nice. Honestly I would rather talk to him then read.

"You did no such thing."

"Well I wanted to ask if you were free for coffee right now? I have some time before I go over to my parents for dinner and I would really like to see you."

My face turned pink and my heart skipped a beat.

"I am. I have no plans for the rest of the day."

"Perfect! Do you know where 'The Coffee House' is?"

My favorite spot.

"Yes I do, is that where you would like to meet?"

"If that is ok with you. How about 30 minutes?"

"That sounds great, I'll see you then Edward."

We said goodbye and I let a small squeal. I had a date with Edward! I know we just met last night, but I find him endearing and fascinating. Speaking of last night, I forgot I had my tattoo and didn't clean it. Getting up I go into my bathroom and quickly clean my tattoo, then I apply a small amount of makeup, put on my favorite pair of boots and head out the door to meet Edward. Leah is out with Jake, so I will have to fill her in when she gets home.

When I arrive at 'The Coffee House' I see Edward sitting inside with his back to the window. Taking a deep breath and shaking off my nerves, I grab the door and walk inside.

I walk straight to Edward's table and take the seat across from him.

"Hey Bella, I'm glad you could make it."

His face was all lit up and a little rosy. In front of him was a steaming cup of coffee and a half eaten chocolate danish.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, just a few minutes. The waitress got my order as soon as I walked in and had it out just as fast."

He motioned to a petite blonde behind the counter. She saw right away, as if she'd been watching him, her smile brightened and she walked on over, putting a little swing in her hips.

"Is everything alright?" Her voice was high pitched. "Did you need anything?" She was batting her eyelashes and biting her lip. She hadn't even looked at me.

"Yes my friend just got here and would like to order." He turned towards me and beamed. "Bella order whatever you'd like, it's on me."

That was a surprise. I didn't expect him to pay for me.

"Thank you Edward, but you don't have too. I can pay for mine."

"Nonsense Bella, I asked you out and I would like to pay."

Jessica, the name on her name tag, looked annoyed by our interaction. I could see her eyes rolling in her mind.

"Ok, but next time it's on me. I would like caramel macchiato and a slice of strawberry danish."

She had finally looked at me, and after given me the once over she wrote it down and walked away, not before giving one more glance towards Edward.

Edward and I spent the next ten minutes asking random questions to get to know each other. Simple things like favorite color, mine green his blue, favorite food, we both said italian, favorite hobby, reading for me and playing piano for him. At the same time I kept looking around for Jessica to see what was taking so long, all the tables looked satisfied and everyone looked like they had been served. She was currently behind the counter on one her phone. I waited five more minutes and brought it up to Edward.

"I was wondering that too. It's not too busy today and your order was fairly simple."

"You'd think she'd actually do the job she gets paid for, instead of playing on her phone."

One of my biggest pet peeves was when someone ignores their job. It's rude and unprofessional. I see Sarah come out from the back room. She was Jake's little sister and started working here a couple months ago when she turned 16. I get her attention and wave her over.

"Hey Bella, did you want to order something?"

"No I ordered 15 minutes ago and still haven't gotten it."

She looked back at Jessica and turned back to me with an annoyed expression.

"Jessica is lazy and always does the bare minimum. The only time she's a great employee is when she wants a hot guy to notice her. I don't know why Rebecca doesn't fire her. I'll be right back with your order."

She walked away and went up to Jessica. I could barely make out what they were saying, but I saw Jessia roll her eyes and huff. A moment later Sarah was walking back over with a pot of coffee, my macchiato and danish.

"Here you go Bella and here's a refill for you sir."

"Thank you Sarah, we appreciate it."

Edward gave her a smile and said his thanks.

I took a sip of my macchiato. It was divine and with the strawberry danish I was in heaven.

"So Edward your favorite hobby is the piano. How long have you been playing?"

I could see the blush starting to show on his cheeks.

"Since I was a kid. My mom plays and she tried teaching all of us but I was the only one who really loved it. In high school I started writing my own music.

"That's impressive. I always wondered what it would be like to play an instrument, but never learned."

"Maybe I could give you lessons, it'd be an excuse to spend more time with you."

I let out a small laugh.

"You don't need an excuse, I've enjoyed spending time with you."

He beamed at me. Then looked down at his watch and his expression changed.

"I've enjoyed it too Bella, and as much as I would like to continue this date, I have to be at my parents soon for dinner."

I instantly frowned, I didn't want him to leave, but I know how important family is.

"It's alright Edward. Thank you for my coffee and danish."

We stood up and Edward left money on the table for Sarah. He held the door open for me and walked beside me to my car.

"Drive home safe Bella. I'll call you tonight after I leave my parents. I look forward to seeing you again."

"You drive safe too. Have fun tonight."

He opened my door, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and helped me in.

"Bye beautiful."

With that he gently shut the door and winked. One last smile to him, and I drove off. He was amazing, and I was in trouble, I was falling for him and that scared me.

AN: Oh my god! I'm sorry. I am a horrible person. I've been meaning to sit down and update, but life keeps getting in the way. I am also really bad at time management. Thank you to all of those who are still around and still reading, it means so much. I apologize for making you wait. I can't promise I will have the next chapter up sooner, but I will certainly try too. Please leave comments on what you think, give me ideas for dates, and different things you'd like to see happen.
