Since I dabbled a little in the art of cooking, I decided to cook Bella dinner. It wasn't anything overly fancy just steaks, which was literally the only thing I knew how to make, and a few side dishes; Potatoes, green beans, and some rolls.

I tried to make some desert but that didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The first attempt, I accidently knocked some of the steak seasoning into the bowl so it tasted…horrible. The second attempt seemed to be going great until I tasted it.

It frustrated me to no end. I can read so why isn't the cake coming out good? After throwing away both of the cakes, I caved and ordered some desert from Bella's favorite restaurant.

Rose stopped and picked it up for me on her way to get Bella and Jane from the airport. She also took it upon herself to buy me a few extra things that she decided I needed, like Wine.

"Smells good," Rose said, setting the bags she was carrying onto the counter.

"Thank you."

"I got the chocolate cake, Bella's favorite flowers, white wine and red wine, and a few other goodies."

"Thank you," I said, grinning.

"No problem." She said. "My mom will swing by around ten to pick up Bella, unless you two are still having some fun…" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"Are you trying to get your sister laid?"

"You said it not me." I chuckled.

"This is our first date," I reminded her. "Nothing but innocent kissing will occur." Not that I didn't want to do so much more to her, I just didn't want her to think that's all I wanted her for.

"Okay," Rose said, smirking. "I have to go pick them up. Bella will be here in twenty minutes." She gave me a look over. "So, I suggest you change out of the Spiderman pajamas."

"Spiderman is the shit and you know it." She laughed.

"Twenty minutes," She reminded me as she headed toward the door.

"Thank you."

"No problem." She said. "Just treat my little sister right, okay?"

"I will," I promised.

Once Rose had left, I decided to go change. Even if I did like my pajamas, I wasn't about to wear them on a first date…or any other date after that.

I ditched the Spiderman pajamas for a pair of jeans and a gray t-shirt. I then attempted to tame my hair. It put up a fight but after nearly ten minutes and half a can of gel, I was able to tame it.

After washing my hands free of gel, I coated my hands in shaving cream and rubbed it onto my face. I was already starting to look like grizzly Adams and I'm sure not many girls would go for that look, Bella included.

After I finished shaving, I headed back into the kitchen to check on everything. The steaks were almost done, the potatoes and green beans were definitely done, and the rolls were getting there.

Ten minutes later, I was placing the last of the food on the table when there were two tentative knocks on the door.

I headed toward the front door, pulling it open without bothering to look through the peephole.

"Hey," I smiled, letting Bella in.

"Hi," I closed the door behind her. "So, I hear were dining in tonight,"

"We are," I said. "I cooked dinner."

"You cook?" She asked, surprised.

"A little," I said. I held out my hand for hers. "Shall we eat?"

"We shall," she grinned, placing her hand in mine. I led her through my apartment and out onto the balcony. "Wow," I smiled, pulling her chair out for her. "This is amazing,"

"You deserve nothing but the best."

"You really have a way with words," She giggled

"I suppose I do." I grinned back, taking the seat across from her. "How was your day?"

"It was great," She said, cutting into her steak. "I got the keys to my penthouse."

"That was fast." I commented. "How much did it cost?"

"Almost nine million,"

"Wow," I said. The one thing that I still had to get use to, besides the attention, was how much money I had. I grew up with money but not as much as I had nowadays. My parents could only hope to make as much as I did in a year.

"Yeah," Bella laughed. "It's worth it though. It's a gorgeous place."

"I bet."

"So, how was your day?" She asked. "What did you do?"

"I lounged around all day," I said, chuckling.

"Sounds fun," She said. "How many more free days do you have?"

"Just tomorrow," I sighed. I left Friday to do a promotional tour for 'Disappearance'.

"What's your first stop?" She asked

"Spain."

"I love Spain," She said, grinning. "It's such a beautiful place. I've been there hundreds of times and the beauty never fails to stun me." I couldn't help but smile at the way her eyes lit up.

"I can't wait to see it."

"If you get any free time go sightseeing."

"I'll try." I promised. "Do you want any souvenirs?"

"Sure," She said, smiling. "Surprise me with something."

The rest of the dinner was filled with playful conversations. Like I've said before, Bella was so easy to talk to. What we hadn't covered in previous conversations was talked about over dinner.

After we finished dinner, we moved to the front room to eat desert. We ate in a comfortable silence. There wasn't a need to fill the silence with talking. While most girls seemed to hate the silence and thought something was wrong, Bella didn't seem to mind it.

After we finished desert, I played the piano for Bella. She sat beside me, smiling, as I played her favorite song.

"You're very talented." She said as the song came to an end. "A triple threat as some would say."

"I'm a man of many talents," I chuckled. Bella smiled and leaned her head against my shoulder.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," I said.

"This is the best date I've ever been on." I couldn't help but smile. That's what I was going for.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." I looked down at her. "Can I kiss you?"

"Yes," I leaned down pressing my lips to hers. As cheesy as it sounds, it felt as if the world around us stopped. The only thing I felt, saw, was Bella's soft lips moving against mine. "Wow," She panted as I pulled away.

"I couldn't have said it any better myself," I said, resting my forehead against hers.


Well? What do you think?
