Just wanted to thank soxmuchxxmorexxx-been there since the start.

Chapter 6 (according to bella)

Okay, so shopping was actually pretty fun on Friday night. At least I had something to do. Saturday I just sat around the house, looking for things to keep me busy. My mind still thought back to Edward every few minutes and I couldn't concentrate. How was our next meeting going to turn out? I checked my phone every chance I got, expecting to find a new message from him, maybe a message that would make me laugh or clear things up. But then again, what would he write? Hi Bella, thanks for the kiss, I liked it.

Yeah, not so flash.

Well now its Sunday afternoon and I still haven't received a text of some kind.

I have been trying to think of something to write to him, but I it's so awkward. I wish I never kissed him. Wait. Wrong. That was great. I just wish it wasn't awkward. Like if we were going out it would be fine, but we have done things totally in reverse in my book.

Yes, I admit I really really like him. But that's the thing, you like someone, you go out with that someone, then you kiss that someone. And I just had to screw up that order and make it all awkward, didn't I?

I sighed. Well, no turning back now.

The ring of my mobile snapped me out of my daydream. I dropped the basket of washing I was carrying and ran to my room. My phone was on the windowsill and its screen was lit up. I picked it up and read the caller id.

Edward. My heart sped up a bit as I took a deep breath and pressed the answer key.

"Hello?" my voice sounded slightly breathless.

"Bella." His smooth voice entered my ear.

"Yeah…hey." Who else?

I heard him take in a deep breath, "hey um, what are you doing…like…now?"

I smiled, "what, like right now? As in now now?" I asked, my voice rising in pitch. I always played on words, and I think he could tell I was pulling his leg.

He let out a laugh. "No now. Like right now."

All awkwardness was gone from our conversation. "Well that depends on what you want." I said, unable to stop a giggle.

"Right, well do you want to go… somewhere?" he asked, not sounding like he knew where he wanted to go.

"Are you going to kidnap me or something?" I asked curiously.

"I might have to." He replied.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked, likeing the sound of this mystery adventure, I was no longer nervous.

"Where ever you want, I just want to see you." I could tell he was sincere and I just wanted to hug him.

"Well its Sunday afternoon, so we cant go far." I said, trying to think of what we could do.

"Okay, look." He said, coming to a solution. "How about, I pick you up in 10 minutes, then we decide?"

"But that sort of sounds like kidnapping to me." I retorted, half serious, half joking."

He ignored me, "okay, so in 10 minutes."

"Fine… but I get to drive." I said, bargaining what I get out of this.

"We'll see." He said, not sounding too convinced. "Now go. And stop distracting me, I might crash." He said, half serious.

"You're already on your way aren't you?" I said more as a statement than a question.

"Maybe." My god he has the cutest answers.

"Fine, fine, bye." I said smiling to myself.

"Bye, Bella."

"Wait!" I yelled, a bit louder than intended. "Am I distracting you?" inside I was pleased with myself.

"Yea- well it's hard to talk and drive." He said defensively.

I laughed, "bye Edward."

"Bye Bella."

I hung up and threw my phone on the bed. Wow. Now I have to get ready. If I was anyone else, I would be panicking about what to wear, but I don't really care. I guess that's just me, ill go to my closet and pick the first jeans, t-shirt and jacket I see.

I ran to the bathroom to find a hair tie, and tied my hair up in a rough knot. I looked at the mirror, just thinking.

I'm hungry. I ran downstairs and opened up the pantry. Muesli bar looks good.

I peeled off the wrapping and held it in my mouth. He will be here any minute. I quickly grabbed the basket of washing I dropped and started to fold it.

I heard my phone again and ran to get it, half expecting it was going to be Edward. I felt slightly disappointed when I saw the screen. Alice.

Nice, not exactly what I need right now, but hey.

"Hey Alice." I said with a bored voice.

"Bellaaaa!" the volume that came through my phone made me wince and hold the phone away from my ear.

"Ow." I stated in reaction to the two voices that yelled my name.

"Hey Bella! Yo bells!" Alice and rose? You have got to be kidding me! I'm just about to go on a date… I mean, go somewhere with Edward, and my best friends are screaming into the phone, clearly distracting me.

"Umm, okay. What?" I wasn't going to waste anytime. I was getting to the point quick.

"Geeez, aren't you enthusiastic about your best friends." Alice said sarcastically.

"Sorry guys, I'm just… busy." I said running to the laundry to turn off the machine.

"Busy ay?" I heard rose comment from the background.

"That wouldn't have anything to do with Edward now would it?" I think she was joking, but se sounded like she knew.

"If I say yes, will it make you happy?" I asked irritated.

"Oh my god! It is Edward! Are you going on a date or something!?" Alice freaked out in excitement. Well she's not far off. But if I tell them that I am going…somewhere with Edward, they will seriously stalk us all afternoon.

Not exactly what I had in mind for the first time me and Edward meet up since the…kiss.

"I was kidding!" I sighed into the phone.

"O."

"Wait, what are you two doing together anyway?" I asked the question that I was wondering from the start.

"Well, we were going to come pick you up and go to a movie or something." Alice sounded excited.

"But you are busy." Rose mocked in the background.

"Yeah, sorry about that guys I just…" right then I heard a knock at my door. Shit, he's here. I grabbed my jacket and bag, and went down the stairs.

My heart started racing a bit and I think Alice and rose noticed my sudden pause.

"What?" they asked, concerned.

"Oh, nothing sorry, I just was about to go out to… see my family friends down at la push." I said, thinking of an excuse that sounded real enough. I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with that. Because I actually did have family friends in la push. "Sorry guys I have to go, I'll… call you later."

I said quickly, before they could reply I hung up.

I was at the door now. I'm finally going to see him. Should I invite him in? Should I show him around?

I shook all the questions away and just opened the door.

I leaned on the door, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the glare.

There he was.

He was standing there just smiling at me.

"Hey" he said almost in a whisper.

"Sup?" I didn't know what else to say. I looked him up and down quickly. He was wearing tight dark blue jeans, a casual white v-neck t-shirt and a grey jacket.

He looked good.

I could tell he was a bit nervous too, he unconsciously ran his hand through his hair and I held back a laugh. He basically speaks with his actions to me.

"Just ask." I said calmly, knowing he wanted to say something.

He smirked and dropped his hand from his hair. "Will you?" he asked, offering his hand out towards me.

I smiled, "nah." I grabbed his hand quickly and pulled myself out the door. His hand was warm in mine. He gave my hand a little squeeze and looked into my eyes. A few stray hairs blew across my face in the light breeze and with his hand he moved them and tucked them behind my ear, letting his hand hover on the side of my face.

"I'm about to kidnap you, I'm just letting you know." He said quietly, smiling and looking into my eyes.

I pouted, "no way! You said you wouldn't!"

"Too bad."

He pulled me firmly, but gently, towards his silver Volvo.

I always wondered what it would be like inside a Volvo. Not just because its Edwards car, I've always had a secret love for cars. And Volvos were one of my favourites.

As we got to the car he relaxed his hold on my hand and walked beside me.

"So where do you want to go?" he asked whilst opening the passenger door for me.

"Hey, I thought I was driving," I said, yanking my hand from his and crossing my arms, refusing to get into the passenger seat.

"Well it would hardly be kidnapping if I let the girl I'm kidnapping drive." He said with a critical look.

"Well it was worth a try." I mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear. I threw myself into the seat and looked straight ahead, hearing him laugh quietly as he closed my door.

And then it hit me.

I'm in a car with Edward Cullen. He picked me up from my house. He's taking me somewhere. We were holding hands…

And I'm not even allowed to drive. Damn it.

He walked around and got into the drivers seat. I could tell he loved his car, just the way he held the steering wheel. "You like your cars, don't you?" I said, more as a statement than a question.

"I might have a soft spot."

"For cars?" I laughed at him and his face fell a little. "Well that's too much of a generalisation for me, my soft spot is for Chevrolet's and Volvos."

He looked at me disbelievingly, "you like cars? I never knew that."

I smiled, "there's a lot you don't know."
