After I left Bella's house it had been hard to occupy my time until three. I tried watching some TV. but nothing could hold my attention. I tried playing video games, but kept dying because I couldn't focus. Finally I grabbed my acoustic guitar. I started with some Simon and Garfunkel, but soon found myself playing something completely original that made me think of Bella. By the time I was done I had written a whole song for her.
I got to the cemetery at two-thirty. I was hoping she would be early, but knew it was highly unlikely since she was shopping with Alice. I was leaning against my car wondering how she was going to get rid of Alice when Alice's car pulled up. Okay this was weird. I started walking towards the car when Bella stepped out. I stopped mid-step and my jaw dropped. She looked amazing. I don't think I have ever seen anything so beautiful. Alice pulled away and Bella just stood there looking at her feet.
I walked over to Bella and lifted her chin with my finger. "You look…" I couldn't find the right word so I just leaned in and kissed her. Our lips were made for each other. They were a perfect fit.
We pulled apart and Bella laughed. "Yeah, Alice kidnapped me and tortured me."
"Well torture suits you."
"Thank you" she said as she blushed, which just made her look even more beautiful.
I took her hand and we made our way to our tree, which is how I thought of it now. It was funny watching her try to walk in those boots. If Alice was going to torture her again I think she would have to stick to shoes without a heel. The ground was damp so I took my jacket off and laid it down on the ground for Bella to sit on.
"How was your day?" I asked her.
"Well Alice dragged me to Port Angeles and forced me to shop. Then she squeezed me into these tight clothes and painted my face like I was some art project."
I laughed at her. She was so cute when she was trying to be angry and not succeeding. "I think you look good, but it could be bad 'cause if you keep dressing like this I won't be able to keep my eyes off you and wouldn't be able to function."
She laughed which was the most beautiful sound in the world. Oh my God I was becoming a pansy. No, I decided I was just appreciating her.
"How was your day?" she asked
I decided to show her how my day was "Wait right here I have to go get something from my car."

Edward came back quickly with a guitar in his hand. He sat Indian style and propped the guitar on his knee. "You have inspired me." He said
He began playing the most haunting song. It was so beautiful that tears actually sprang to my eyes. Okay it was official I was in love with Edward Cullen. I wondered if it was too early to tell him. When he was done he looked at me waiting for my opinion.
"I think I have a problem" I said
"What?" he asked me with a confused and hurt look.
I took a deep breath "I think I'm in love with you."
He sat there with a look of complete concentration then looked right into my eyes
"Would it still be a problem if I told you that I love you too." He finished with a crooked smile that made my breath hitch.
I shook my head. Edward laid his guitar down and scooted closer to me. He cupped my face in both hands and kissed me. His lips parted and I couldn't help it my tongue reached out for him. Instead of pulling away his tongue met mine and massaged it slowly. He moved one hand to the back of my neck and one to my waist. Our kissing grew more urgent and I grabbed onto the front of his shirt pulling him closer to me. Edward put his hands on my shoulders and gently pushed me away.
There was that crooked smile again. "I don't really think it would be a good idea to make out in a cemetery." He laughed. "Listen I have something serious to ask you. Carlisle and Esme are going to be back tonight. Alice is bringing Jasper over to meet them..."
"What! Alice and Jasper?" I was so wrapped up in crushing on Edward I hadn't notice how far the Alice Jasper thing had gotten.
"Yes. Now don't interrupt me. I would really like to bring you to dinner too. I think it would be easier if we all go together. It would take some of the attention off of us."
Meet Edward's parent. I wasn't sure if I was ready for that. It wasn't that I cared if his parents knew we were together it was more that I didn't think they would accept me. Edward broke me from my thoughts.
"I would also like to meet you father. And of course your brother. I really don't want him to kill me for hanging around you all the time."
Hanging around all the time? I hadn't really thought of it like that before. We had pretty much only been together at the cemetery. Never in public with other people around. I definitely couldn't blend in standing next to Edward.
"Earth to Bella. If you don't want to go that's okay."
"No Edward I would love to meet your parents. I'm just nervous I guess. I mean what if they don't like me?"
"Not like you? You are the most endearing creature, how could anybody not like you?"
I just smiled. Maybe he was right. I just hoped I didn't do anything embarrassing like fall on my face.
"Let's get you home so you can prepare you dad."
That was going to be weird. As far as my dad knew I didn't even have any regular friends. A boyfriend would come as a big shock. And Emmett. He was very protective of me. Edward pulled up in front of my house. "I'll be back at six to get you. Don't worry they will all love you as much as I do, actually maybe not that much." He gave me a small kiss before I got out. I stood on the curb and watched him drive away.
Inside the house Emmett and Charlie were sitting on our worn out couch watching a basketball game. When I walked in the room they both looked at me and their jaws dropped.
"Um hi guys. Can I talk to you for a sec?"
They were both so stunned they couldn't even nod. I sat in our old red recliner and took a deep breath. "Listen I kind of have a date tonight, actually it's not even really a date I'm just going to meet his parents." I was talking so fast I hoped they understood me. Charlie cleared his throat.
"Who's parent?"
"Uh, Edward Cullen. He's new in school. His sister Alice is my best friend."
"Wait so all of a sudden you have a best friend and what a boyfriend?"
"Yes dad I consider him my boyfriend. Anyways he wants to come over at six and meet both of you."
Emmett spoke for the first time. "Bells. I'm not sure this is a good idea. I've seen this guy before. He always looks like he's gonna commit murder."
"That's just 'cause he was stressed about starting a new school" that was half true. "I mean it's just going to his parent's house and Alice and Jasper will be there."
"Isabella I don't mind you making friends I think it's a good thing, but I want you to take things slowly. I mean you just met the guy. And he will come here so I can meet him. I can go to work a little late tonight."
"Thank you daddy!" I jumped up and threw my arms around his neck. We were both shocked. Not only didn't I ever call him dad anymore I also never hugged him. He patted my back. I stood up awkwardly. "Um, I think I'll go do my homework." I quickly retreated to my room.
When I came back down at a quarter to six dad was dressed in his uniform with his gun at his side. Wow typical dad stuff. That was unusual for Charlie. Maybe he did actually still love me a little bit. I chided myself. I knew Charlie still loved me. The past couple of years had just been really hard for all of us.
At exactly six o'clock there was a knock on the door. The butterflies in my stomach began working double time. Emmett opened the door. Oh god please let him be nice to Edward.
AN: sorry to leave you hanging. i will try to have the next chapter up tomorrow.
