Last night, with no dreams of Edward I managed to get a good nights sleep. I woke up at nine o'clock when I felt my cell phone vibrate under my pillow.

Looking at it, I saw it was a text from Alice telling to get up and dressed. I got up, stretching my arms in the air.

Roughly half an hour later I was ready and waiting in my kitchen till Alice turned up and picked me up. Seeing as Charlie took away my car keys, there was no knowing when I was going to get them back. Which meant I was without a ride for Port Angeles, but thankfully Alice said I could ride with her.

I was just finished washing my bowl of cereal when a knock on the door alerted me, I rubbed my hands dry on the wash cloth and walked over to open the door.

Where Alice should've been standing outside my door, Edward stood there instead looking the sight for sore eyes as usual.

"Hey, is Alice with you?" I asked, looking behind him to see if she was sitting in his volvo.

Edward rubbed the back of his neck, "Err no. The others filled up in her car so I offered to drive with you down to Port Angeles...is that ok?" he asked looking unsure.

I gave him a wide grin, "It's more than ok" I assured him.

Edward grinned in reply and ushered me to his car. After locking the door, I followed Edward and he opend up the passanger door for me.

I smirked at Edward, "Well aren't you a gentleman"

I swore I saw a hint of a blush forming on Edwards cheeks but it was gone as quick as it came.

The drive to Port Angeles took twenty minuites, but felt much shorter. I was having a great time with Edward in the car, I went through his CD collection in his car and teased him when I saw a Britney Spears album.

Edward parked his car outside a boutique, I looked at him feeling puzzled.

"What are we doing here?" I asked in confusion.

"Your buying a dress with the girls" Edward stated as if it was obvious.

"A dress? What for?"

"You don't know?" Edward asked gauging my reaction.

"Know what?" I said, starting to feel anxious.

He leaned in to me, his breath fanning over my face. "Alice's parents are hosting a ball and we're invited"

I tried to get my thoughts together whilst in close proximity of Edward. "A-and I need a d-dress? I stammered.

Edward leaned in more closer so our noses were touching. "Yes" he whispered.

"Ok" I squeaked.

Edward tilted his head to his right, his lips barely grazing over mine.

I leaned in to close the distance but before I could realise what happened Edward moved away.

"The others must be waiting in the shop, let's not keep them waiting any longer" Edward smirked and stepped out the car.

I slumped back in the seat, overcome with embarrassment.

Edward came around to my side of the car and opened the car door, his smirk still in place.

I stepped out the car, ignoring Edward and sauntered in to the boutique.

The girls, Emmett and Jasper were already in the shop, just as Edward had said.

"Bellie" Emmett drawled out teasingly. I beamed at him and gave him a one armed hug and did the same with the rest.

"Bella" Alice began, excitedly. "Look at all these beautiful dresses"

Bella chuckled at Alice's enthusiasm. "They're all...pretty" I stated, trying to find the right word to describe them. Beautiful wasn't what I'd describe most of them, they weren't really anything I'd willingly wear.

I glanced over at the boys, they were all seated on the white couch near the dressing rooms, talking to one another.

Over the next half hour Alice and Rosalie tried on dresses and went out of their way to find me something glamorous to wear. The problem however was that I didn't really like most the dresses, which made their search even more troublesome.

"This is the one!" Rosalie enunciated. She pulled out a strapless; floor-length, royal blue dress. The waistline of the dress was embedded with silver and black crystals, giving it an elegant finish.

I loved it! It wasn't over done but it wasn't dull either.

"Wow!" Alice breathed.

"Wow, indeed" I affirmed.

"Do you want to try it on?" Rosalie asked me, turning the dress back and forth on the hanger.

I nodded my head and Rose beamed, handing over the dress to me.

A few minutes later I had the dress on, I slowly opened the door and stepped out, careful not to trod on the bottom of the gown.

I heard a few gasps and lifted my head to see the gaped faces of the girls face's and Edward.

"What? Does it look alright?" I asked them, arching my eyebrows in anticipation.

"You look breathtaking" Edward breathed.

"Yeah!" Alice and Rosalie chided.

"You guys sure?" I mused

"Yes" They called out together.

I grinned at them, swaying side to side. "I'm going to get this" I remarked, gleefully.

Ten minutes later after I payed and had the dress bagged up, we all walked towards a restaurant.

The couples walked next to each other, while Edward and I walked behind them silently.

"You looked great in the dress" Edward complimented.

"Erm thanks..."

"So?" He drawled. The moment becoming awkward.

Before I could reply, the others stopped walking. We arrived at an Italian resteraunt, 'Bella Italia'.

We entered the resteraunt, it wasn't busy and there were only a few other people here besides us.

We sat down on a rectangular table with us girls on one side and the guys opposite us. With Edward who just happened to be opposite me.

"Love the name of this place" Edward teased.

"Oh yes, what a smashing name. Don't you think Bella?" Emmett joked, putting on a british accent.

"The names Italian Emmett, why are you using a british accent?" Jasper quipped in his southern drawl.

Emmett shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, just makes sounds good" he said praising himself.

Alice giggled and Jasper patted Emmett's back, "If you say so..."

Soon the conversation drifted off to another to topic, not that I was able to engage in it. They were all talking about the different places they'd been to and named places that I could only dream of going to.
I felt a nudge on my leg and looked up, Edward turned his head to the side taking a sudden interest in the topic, but I knew him better.

I kicked him back underneath the table in retaliation and turned my head, just as he did.

A few seconds later, a piece of tissue came flying on to me. I turned to Edward, giving him the stink eye and mouthed, 'Stop it'.

"Or what?" Edward mouthed back, smirking.

"Fine" I mouthed back and turned over to the girls, feeling Edwards gaze on me.

Lunch passed quickly and was a quiet affair once the food came. Edward and I kept sneaking glances towards one another, each of us smirking when we caught the other one looking.

A short while later we were all finished and split the bill amongst ourselves. Emmett and Jasper left in Alice's car with Rosalie and soon it was just me and Edward outside the resteraunt.

I turned towards Edward when I felt his gaze lingering on me. "What?" I whispered.

Edward shook his head, "Nothing"

Silently we walked back to his car and before long we were on our way back to Forks.
