We hurried towards Jasper's office with neither of us talking at each other. Things were slightly awkward between us and the usual tension wasn't there. When we reach Jasper's door, Edward knocked and held the door open for me. With a small smile, I entered the office. Jasper was sitting at his desk in deep discussion with Alice, Rose and Jasper. They all looked up the moment we entered the room. Alice immediately looked at me and she gave me a mischievous grin. I just stared at her in perplex, I had no idea what she was grinning about. She couldn't have known Edward and I kiss, right?

"Bella, Edward….what took you so long? You almost miss the deadline you know." Jasper said with a stern look at both of us. "I'll let it slide this time since this is the first time this has ever happen but try not to make this a habit. In case you've forgotten, this is a newspaper you know."

I flushed and suddenly felt two feet tall. I sometimes forget that Jasper is my boss but not this time. And the worst part is, I don't have an excuse to give him.

Before I could formulate a response, Edward said "Sorry, Jazz. This won't happen again. I promise. We just lost track of time today."

"Yah Jasper, I'm really sorry. It won't happen again."

Jasper lost his stern look but gain a weird look on his face. "Just make sure this doesn't happen again. We can't exactly hold back the printing just because you too lost track of time. Anyways, what do you think of this article…"

1 hour later

"Okay, we are done!" Jasper said with a sigh of relief

We all just groaned in unison. My stomach is so hungry, I think I'll go cannibal and eat someone. Hmm…Edward must taste delicious. Wait, back up, no Bella and erase that thought. You don't care what he taste like! We all started packing up and headed to the entrance of the building. We parted ways there.

"Kay, bye guys, Emmett and I are off. We got to meet his parents for dinner. Bye!" Rose said while getting her handbag.

"Yah, bye everyone!" Emmett said while holding the door open for Rose.

"So, Alice and I are going off for dinner. See you guys tomorrow? "

"Sure Jazz. See ya. Bye Alice."

"Bye Alice. Bye Jasper"

It was then only Edward and I. The silence return and I started to shift uncomfortably. Since I should be nice to him, how do I say I want to go without seeming to be rude.

I was saved from making an excuse when Edward said "So, you want to go grab something to eat?"

Or not…should I? Should I not? I should make a list of pros and cons but it'll take too long and he looks like he wants an answer somewhere in the near future. Throwing caution to the wind, I said yes.

She said yes! I feel like doing a dance but then it might give her a reason to say no. Me being a lunatic and all. But I am so happy! No dance. But did I mention I'm happy? Okay, she said yes…now what? Think Edward think! Don't just stand here like an idiot!

"Umm…so any particular place in mind?"

"Mmm…no, I'm fine with anything. Why don't you choose?"

"Hmm…how about the diner at the next corner?"

"That's great! I'm so starved I can eat a horse" Bella confess

I burst out laughing at that. She look affronted.

"Well, I don't see anything funny about my statement. If you find it so funny, maybe I'll just go." She said in an icy tone.

I immediately stop laughing. "No, no…I'm not laughing at you. It's just the girls I usually eat with will never say something like that. One, they'll be insulted I suggested the diner. Then they will start complaining about the amount of grease the diner's food contains. Next, they'll complain about how dirty the place is. And the final reason is that the girls I usually date don't eat and will never say anything about how hungry they are although they look like they have been starved."

She cocked her head to a side and gives me a questioning look. "Is this a date?"

"If you want it to be. I would like to consider this a date but if it you don't want it too, it can be diner between to collogues." I said hoping that she'll consider this a date.

She nibbled on her bottom lips as she thought out her answer. God, how I want to kiss her. "I'll get back to you on that"

My face fell when she said that but I quickly changed my expression to one of cool indifference. There is no way I'll let her know how I feel.

"We should really be going"

"Yes Bella, after you" I gestured with my hands for her to go with an extravagant bow.

She laughed and curtsey. "Why thank you kind sir."

In the diner

"My oh my, am I going blind? Is that Bella and Edward together? Without arguing? Now what have I miss dearies?" ask the motherly waitress of the diner. This place is the usual eating place of the gang since it's near the office and the food is awesome. We know the elderly couple who owns this diner and are on friendly terms with them. I just grinned at her while Bella blush. She seems to be doing that a lot.

"You haven't missed much, Angela. We just decided to give the being friends a try"

"After how many times everyone suggested the same thing? I don't buy it dearie…" Oh boy, she was starting one of her many lectures again. Before she could start, Bella's stomach gave an audible growl and we both stared at her.

She blushes and said defensively "What? I'm hungry!"

I bit back a grin while Angela just gave her shake off the head. "Go to one of the booths dearies. I'll be back in a minute with the menus"

"No need Angela. Just get us both the special and I'll have the orange juice" I said and glanced at Bella.

"The special is fine and I'll like a Coke."

"Okay" She turned and shouted the orders to her husband, Ben.

We both slid into a booth and I decided to get to know her better.

"So Bella, want to play 20 questions?"

"Sure"

An hour later

I was walking Bella back to her apartment and I must admit this is the most fun I had in awhile. We were just laughing and chatting. Bella is so different from the rest of the girls I usually date and I am starting too really like her. We both stop talking when we reached her apartment.

"So…"I said. I could really hit myself. I'm not usually this tongue tied when I'm around girls but then again, Bella is different.

"So, I really enjoyed our date" Bella said. I looked up with shock evident on my face. She just grins at me.

I couldn't stop the goofy grin that appeared on my face. "So this is a date?"

"Didn't you think so? Hmm…it doesn't have to be." She said with the grin still in place.

"Oh, I really do want it to be" I replied

"So goodnight!" Bella said and turn towards her door. What the heck? That's it?

"Bella wait!" I protested

She turned and gave me an innocent look. "Yes Edward, did you forget something?"

I would have been fooled but I caught the mischievous glint in her eyes. "Yes, this…" I swooped her into my arms and gave her a kiss. She didn't protest but open her mouth and swept her tongue on my bottom lips. I bit back a groan and deepen the kiss.

We broke apart when somebody yelled "You two! Stop this public display of affection this instant! Kids these days I tell you! Why in my days, that would have caused a scandal!" We turn towards an old lady at the sidewalk who look scandalized and angry.

"Um, sorry ma'am. We didn't realize we had an audience." I said ungraciously. That stupid old lady had to go ruin one of the best kiss in my life. Sheesh, we know you live in the stone age but hello? This is the freaking 21st century. She just gave me a scathing look and walked away mumbling to herself about "kids" this days.

"Umm…so…" I said still mentally cursing the old lady. She had to go ruin the mood. "Are you free Friday night?" I blurt out. Smart Edward, so much for tact.

Thank God Bella didn't seem to think so. She gave me a huge smile and said "Sure, pick me up at 8." And with that she turn around and open the door.

Before she went in, she said "Oh, and Edward?"

I was still distracted by her saying yes that I answered her absently "Yes Bella?"

She came down the steps and gave me small kiss. "Thanks for tonight. I had a wonderful time" And with that she went in to the apartment.

I stood there stun. I let out a loud whoop that I'm sure she heard but I didn't give a damn. I started walking back to my house whistling. I am in that very good mood. But it had to be ruin again by the very same old lady.

"Young man, was that you who made that awful sound? You really have no manners don't you. Why in my days…" I hardly heard her rant as I was still too happy. Bella said yes!

So, I hope you like their first date. Well, their inpromptu first date.

I promise that I'll make up for this short chapter with a longer than usual next chapter.:) so don't hate me too much,k?

The next chapter would be about their official first date.

I'm sorry to say the next chapter would only come out in at least a week. I know, I know, it's a long wait, but I have school so I need to get settle down and all. After that it should be the the usual updates every 3-4 days.

So please review! I really do like reading your thoughts about my story. Oo...and check out my one-shot. It's about comeback for cheesy pick up lines and I gurantee it's hilarious!

Last but not least : HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2010 be all you wish it to be and more!
