Bella's POV:
I opened to find Edward standing there with that goofy grin on his face. He was so cute! He was wearing dark wash jeans and a grey button down shirt.
I didn't realize it, but Edward Cullen literally took my breath away.
Before I could get a 'hello' out of my mouth, he kissed me on the cheek and whispered in my ear, "Bella, you look beautiful."
Man, I was falling hard.
"Th..tha…thanks, Edward, you too," I stuttered and then blushed. I'm such an idiot!
Edward shook his head chuckling.
After a moment he finally asked, "Are you ready to go?" As he slipped his hand into mine and led me out of my dorm building.
Once a few moments of silence passed I asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise," he replied coolly.
"I hate surprises," I pouted.
"Oh Bella, you are going to be the death of me, I swear," he sighed and mumbled, almost incoherently.
He led me to his silver Volvo and opened the passenger door for me. Always the gentleman, I thought sarcastically.
I soon became deep in thought, "What's going on in that head of yours, Bella Swan?" he questioned. I loved the way my name sounded in his velvety voice.
"Nothing, imparticular," I replied. Oh if only you knew…
Yet another brief silent moment passed. You'd think it was awkward, but it was kind of comfortable.
Edward put in a CD, it was Claire de Lune by Debussy, my favorite.
I began humming along with the beautiful, unique melody of this classical piece.
"You know Debussy?" he asked.
"Claire de Lune is my favorite," I said, blushing.
"Really? Mine too," he replied. Wow, that's an interesting coincidence. I mean most college students don't listen to classical music.
"It's just surprising because most college kids don't listen to music like Debussy," he continued.
"It's as if you read my mind, I was thinking the exact same thing," I replied a little surprised.
On that note, the car stopped.
We arrived at a little Italian restaurant. It was so cute, it looked like Little Italy.
The whole restaurant was lit by candles. There was no one else in the entire restaurant.
"Edward, are you sure the restaurant is even open?" I asked confused.
"Silly Bella, I rented the restaurant for the evening so we could just be alone in a comfortable environment," he stated simply.
"Edward Cullen, you didn't have to do this all for me," I debated, flattered none the less.
"Believe me, Bella. You are way worth it," he said with a small reassuring smile as he pulled a seat out of the table for me.
I was pretty speechless, but I did respond with a little blush.
The waitress soon came to take our order, "Good Evening, I'm Jane, I'll be your server tonight. Would you like to start off with any drinks?"
"Bella, what would you like to drink?" Edward asked.
"Oh! I'll take a coke, please." I simply replied.
"What can I get you, sir?" Jane, I mean whose named Jane these days anyways? GROSS, asked in an attempt to be seductive. Double gross.
"I'll have the same," giving her a smile as we made eye contact again.
As soon as Jane left the table, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut, "That waitress was totally trying to hit on you," I stated with a little feeling behind it? Was it jealousy?
"Really? I didn't notice," he stated coolly.
I huffed.
"Is someone a little jealous?" he asked with a smile playing on his face.
"You wish," I responded harshly.
He just laughed at me.
"Thanks, you're making me feel SO much better, Edward! Maybe I'll just go if you're just going to laugh at me for any hour and a half," I stated before beginning to stand up. I hope he stops me, I'm completely kidding. I don't plan on leaving this date.
"Wait, Bella, don't be so dramatic. Sit back down, please," he said, seriously with a hint of begging. He was so cute when he begged. I couldn't get over it.
"If you insist," it was my turn to reply coolly.
Before I could strike up a conversation, Jane came with our drinks, "Alright, are you folks ready to order?"
"Bella, you order first," Edward insisted.
Jane tore her eyes off of Edward and scowled at me. If looks could kill. She was way too overprotective over someone she doesn't even know. What a psycho.
"Um, I'll have the lasagna," I stated.
She turned to Edward, "And what can I get you?" she questioned, batting her eyelashes.
"Same, but, if you don't mind me asking, do you have something in eyes?" he questioned.
She then made a loud groan and stormed away from the table.
"Was it something I said?" Edward I asked innocently.
I just laughed, he soon joined me.
The rest of dinner flew by quickly. We talked about anything and everything. From sports to academics to siblings to favorite animals.
I learned Edward had a brother named Emmett, who sounded like quite a character. I was anxious to meet him.
We were way too soon back at my dorm where Edward was dropping me off.
"Goodnight, my Bella," Edward whispered into my hair during a goodnight hug. My Bella. I like the sound of that. I was beyond tempted to kiss him.
Remember, I don't kiss on the first date, even if that date is with Edward Cullen.
"Goodnight, Edward," I sighed.
He intertwined his fingers in mine one last time and with a kiss on the cheek left me in my dorm.
After he left, I shut the door and squealed to myself. I could still feel the tingly sensation on my cheek from that brief little peck. I changed into my pajamas quickly, anxious to sleep, so I could dream of Edward.
I really was falling for Edward Cullen. Hard.
I sighed contently and drifted off to sleep.
