A/N: Be happy you got a chapter. That's all I have to say. I'm at home, on a Friday night with a head cold, my head is throbbing and my nose is driving me nuts, but I had nothing better to do with my time other than write. Hopefully this chapters okay considering it was hard to write because of my lack of focus and concentration. Anyways, read & review.
Edward's POV
Alice came down the stairs first. She looked fine. I mean she was like my sister. She looks fine everyday. I looked over to Jasper who's jaw had dropped I snickered.
"Jasper." I whispered. "You seem shocked." He glared at me and then returned his gaze to Alice. By then Angela was coming down the stairs.
"I call Angela being my date." Ben whispered in my ear. Duh, I thought to myself. Obviously he was going to be Angela's date. I mean he wasn't going to be Bella's.
When I looked up the at the stairs again I saw Bella starting to come down. Even her feet looked stunning. When I could see all of her my jaw dropped as well. Jasper laughed at me. Alice looked quite smug; Angela was holding in her laughter and looking form Bella to me.
She was stunning, she was gorgeous. The most beautiful person I'd ever seen. She walked up to me smiling.
"So I guess I'm your date for tonight."
I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. For the first time n my life, I was speechless.
"Lucky me." I managed to whisper. She smiled and Alice pranced towards the door pulling Jasper behind her. Jasper was smiling like an idiot and following gladly. Angela was chatting and smiling at Ben who was engrossed by her completely. I mean, I didn't understand, she was nothing compared to my Bella. Oh god, I just called her mine. She wasn't interested in me like that, but I wished she was. She's completely amazing, every look, every smile, every eye roll makes me fall more and more in love with her. And she trusted me with her biggest secret now, that had to mean something. Then again it could mean just friends. I sighed unintentionally.
"What?" Bella asked me with a concerned look.
I looked at her and smiled. "Nothing, nothing at all. I'm with you aren't I?" I was going to lay it on thick tonight, Bella blushed and I took her hand. We all went to pile into my Volvo.
"There isn't enough room." Alice said bluntly.
"Thank you captain obvious." I said rolling my eyes. Bella laughed, along with Angela and Ben. Jasper held in his laughter.
"Well, why don't you guys go in the Volvo and Angela and I will go in my truck?"
"Sounds good to us." Edward and Jasper replied. Angela smiled in Ben's direction and then walked swiftly to the truck.
"Just follow me Ben, okay?"
"Sounds good." Ben and Angela climbed into Ben's truck.
Bella called shot gun, and Alice said she'd rather sit in back with Jasper anyways. We laughed. I quickly back out of the driveway and sped off.
"Edward, Ben probably wouldn't like to drive this fast." Bella informed me.
"Oh yeah!" I exclaimed, I slowed my pace letting Ben catch up. We arrived shortly.
I raced around to the other side of the vehicle to let Bella out. I opened her door and she stepped gracefully onto the curb, which was rare for Bella. She graced me with a smile and I led her inside. With Jasper, Alice, Angela and Ben following behind.
Bella's POV
Edward led us into the restaurant and walked up to the server.
"Reservations?" The person in a suit asked.
"No I'm sorry we don't, but I was hoping to get a table."
"Tables must be reserved beforehand." The server told him stiffly
Edward sighed. "My name is Edward Cullen, this is my sister Alice and Jasper is, a very close family friend. Plus our dates."
The server's eyes widened incredibly. "I'm terribly sorry Mister and Miss Cullen, please follow me." I looked at Edward who simply took my hand again and walked behind the server, dragging me with him. We were seated in a round table booth Edward and Ben sat on the edges.
"Your waitress will be here in a moment." The person told us while walking away.
"So." Alice started the conversation. This wasn't necessarily a good thing.
"Who watching One Tree hill last night!?" she nearly screamed at us
The boys rolled their eyes. "Yes!" Angela squealed.
Angela and her soaps. I knew better then to call her while One Tree Hill was on; I'd learned that lesson the hard way.
"Hello folks." A beautiful young lady said. "Can I get you something to drink?" She asked while passing out menus. She eyed Edward and winked. I quickly moved my hand onto his and he smiled at me.
"Water for us all." Alice and Jasper looked at Edward suspiciously.
The waitress smiled at Edward again and she walked away, moving her butt weirdly as she did. Probably trying to get Edwards attention.
"I have to go to the bathroom, Edward come with me? I uhh, don't know where it is." Jasper asked him
"Sure." Edward replied. He quickly slipped his hand out from under mine, gave me a smiled and stood up from his seat.
"I'll come too." Ben told them. He scooted out and the three of them walked away.
"What happened to just friends Bella?" Angela questioned me.
"We're still just friends, I just didn't want to see him get with that scum, did you see the way she moved her butt?"
They looked at me sceptically.
"I don't like him." I informed them.
"We'll see what happens." Alice said with a wink.
I frowned not knowing what she meant. She laughed at me, she sounded like she knew something didn't. Her face turned to concern shortly after.
"Alice, is there anything should know about Edward, some history like mine? Or not like mine, just history?"
"If there was it wouldn't be my place to tell you. But I do recommend some time alone with Edward." I nodded knowing I would have to talk to him.
The boys soon returned Jasper looked to Alice and Alice looked at Jasper, but it wasn't a loving look it was more of a terrified or disgusted look. The waitress returned soon.
"Can I take your order?" She asked us winking at Edward.
I glared at her. And put my hand on Edwards. "I'll have a chicken caser salad."
"Me too." Angela said after I had stopped speaking.
"Uhmm, we'll have all dressed pizza." Jasper said ordering for both him and Alice.
"I'm going to have Spaghetti." Ben answered
"For me?" Edward said finally, "I'm having club house sandwich." He smiled politely and handed her the menu. She was dazzled. I frowned at Edward and glared at the waitress again.
"If you're looking for a good time, give me a call." She said slipping a small piece of paper under his hand.
I looked to her and glared and turned back to Edward. She turned to look back at Edward and I made my move. I turned to him and planted my lips on his just long enough for her to see. When I looked back at her she was stomping off angrily. I smiled to myself and applied my lip-gloss again.
Edward was sitting there with one eyebrow raised with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Somebody's a bit jealous." Angela sang.
"Am not, she's just not good enough for him."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Ha!" I said pointing my finger in her face.
"Fine you win." She mumbled.
I smiled and looked up to see the waitress coming towards us once again. I sighed. This time she placed our food roughly in front of each other and walked away. She was obviously still mad. Edward looked at me with his gorgeous crooked smile on his face. I smiled back and returned my glance to my food. It smelled great. I took the first bite, it tasted even better then it smelled. I looked over to Alice who was chewing her food cautiously.
"Alice are you okay?"
"Umm, yeah, I'm just really afraid of food poisoning." I laughed. I looked from Alice to Jasper to Edward, all of them seemed to be struggling with their food, Angela and Ben however were engulfed in their own conversation. Not noticing the others obvious struggles. I laughed and the three of them looked at me
"Are you guys sure you're okay?" I asked the,
They all nodded but didn't answer with words. I laughed again.
We soon finished and Edward paid the bill for everyone. I protested as well as Ben and Angela but finally we gave in and Edward got his way.
"Would you mind, Ben, dropping Alice and Jasper home? I'd like to spend some time with Bella."
"No problem." Ben replied
"Angela and Alice were smiling like idiots Edward rolled his eyes and took my hand leading me to his Volvo.
He opened my door and I stepped into the Volvo. He closed my door and then went around to the other side of the car and climbed in.
"Where are we going?" I asked him
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." He said with a wink.
