Chapter 10 - Date Night

"Jesus Christ Alice! Would you stop pulling at my hair?"

"Oh get over it Bella, I'm almost done."

Alice was currently tugging, prodding and curling my hair into an intricate design for my date with Edward. Mmmm, my date with Edward. I like the way that sounded; it had a certain ring to it.

"Okay, all done! Now when you get ready make sure that you don't smudge your make up otherwise I will kill you."

I stood from the chair Alice practically glued me to in my bathroom, wrapped up in my bathrobe and headed back into my bedroom and over to my wardrobe. Browsing through my clothing, I settled on a midnight blue silk chiffon dress. I paired it with some black tights seeing as it had gotten rather cold outside and a pair of Mary Jane black leather pumps. I dressed and grabbed my matching clutch before running downstairs.

Alice and Jasper had agreed to watch the kids while I was out on my date. They were all currently sat in the living room munching on some Chinese take-away and watching The Powerpuff Girls Movie. Alice had gotten Elizabeth addicted to it and she was always watching it. Jasper and Mason were just sat on the floor pulling faces every now and again, while the girls bounced in their seats, Lizzie clutching her stuffed Powerpuff girls; a gift from Alice.

"Well I'm going to be off soon."

Lizzie just nodded, waving slightly but keeping her eyes on the film. Mason got up and paddled across the room to me, wrapping his skinny arms around my waist.

"Stay safe momma."

I kissed the top of his head.

"I will."

Mason then kissed my stomach before speaking to it softly.

"Be safe little one."

It bought little tears to my eyes. Sniffing so I didn't ruin my make up, I patted Mason's back and pushed him back to Jasper…Just as there was a knock on the door.

My heart shot up into my throat and I become very nervous. Alice seemed to notice and came over, kissing me on the cheek.

"Good luck, you'll do fine."

She smacked my ass and pushed me towards the door. I shooed her back into the living room before I open the door. And there he was. Stood there looking all pretty and shit, dressed in black dress pants, a dark green shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows with a loose black tie. His hair was just as messy as always, his fringe falling into his eyes. He looked positively sinful.

"Bella, you looked absolutely breathtaking."

"Thank you Edward; you are looking as handsome as always."

"Shall we go?"

I nodded, grabbing my purse and coat by the door.

"Bye kids, be good for Aunty Alice and Uncle Jasper."

"Bye!"

Two high pitched squeals answered me. I turned back to Edward who had a little glimmer in his eyes, smiling his crooked smile at me. I closed the door behind me, following Edward back to his car. He opened my door for me before running around the front of the car and climbing into the driver's side. We were soon on our way to our destination…for our date. Squeal.

"Edward, where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

I sighed in frustration.

"We're already on the goddamn date! You can tell me know."

"Actually I can't. It would ruin all my hard work and the surprise."

"Fine."

I slumped down in my seat in a huff, folding my arms over my chest; I can see where Lizzie gets it from now. Edward simple chuckled at my reaction, before pushing a CD into his player. The soft, smooth sound of Debussy filled the car, easing my frustration on the surprise. Edward's soft hand slipped underneath mine, locking our fingers together, letting them rest on the centre console of the car. Every now and again, he would trace small circles with the pad of his thumb, around my hand. It was really nice.

About after 10 minutes of driving through the forest on the outskirts of town, Edward pulled off onto a small slit road.

This is it; he's taking you out into the middle of the woods to kill you…

But I was soon pleasantly surprised when a huge white house appeared in a clearing, in front of us. It must have been three times the size of my house with a bit extra. There was a beautiful porch, with thick wooden pillars and a seated swing tucked in the corner, away from the beautiful glass door.

"Edward, where the hell are we?"

"My parent's house."

"Edward, why the hell are we at Esme and Carlisle's house for our date?"

Was this guy for real? Did he think that I would be okay having our first date with Esme and Carlisle around? No matter how much I adored them, it wasn't going to happen. Edward chuckled at me, before walking around the car and taking my hand.

"No Bella, this is my real parent's house."

Ohhhhhhh!

"But why are we here?"

My voice was less harsh than before. Edward had never really spoken about his real parents before; so I didn't know whether it was a sensitive subject or not.

"I've been getting Esme to renovate it for me. It's finally finished and I wanted for you to see the finished project with me."

"That sounds lovely."

Together, we walked up to the house, hand in hand.

"My parents left me this house in their will. They were, let's say, pretty well off in life. All their life savings went to me. I don't have to work if I didn't want to."

Wow, I always knew Edward had a bit of money; after all Esme and Carlisle were well off themselves. But there was a question nagging me at the back of my mind to ask; I just hope Edward didn't react badly to it.

"So how did they die?"

Edward sighed heavily, leading me over to the swing on the porch. He sat down, pulling me with him so that I was tucked up against his side.

"I was too young to remember what happened; around 8 months old. It was winter and snow covered the ground; my parents were on their way back from visiting Esme and Carlisle actually. They had both just adopted Emmett. It was sort of like a welcome home party for him. No one was too sure what happened but my father lost control of the wheel and the car began spinning out of control. I was in my mother's arms at the time. She threw herself over me, protecting me. I was told that when the services arrived, she was bent over me and I was still tucked in her arms without a single scratch on me. My parents made Esme and Carlisle me legal guardians when I was born. They picked me up from the hospital the next morning."

"I'm so sorry Edward."

He waved me off, pulling me into his lap and burring his face in my hair. We sat there for a couple of minutes, Edward simply breathing steadily while I played with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"Well I think I officially ruined our date."

Chuckling, I pulled his head off of my shoulder, tapping him gently on the cheek.

"No you didn't; I asked to hear about them. If anything, it's made me feel closer to you."

I gripped his chin, making him look up at me.

"I'm honored that you could share this with me."

Edward cupped my face in his hands, brushing his thumb along my cheekbone before running his fingers through my hair. He gripped my locks gently, tugging my face towards his, resting our foreheads against each others.

"Thank you for being so amazing."

He whispered softly against my lips before capturing them in a soft but passionate kiss. It was the most amazing thing I had ever felt. The man's soft, luscious lips sent tingles down my spine, making my toes curl. My resolve was slowly slipping away; he was too tempting. Over times, he had learnt to push my buttons; he knew that I was falling for him hard and fast.

I pulled away from him, pressing my hand against his chest.

"Edward."

"Yes Bella."

I sighed, snuggling into his chest, letting myself give into Edward.

"So, should we go inside? We still have our date to get back to."

Smiling brightly at him, I got off his lap, pulling him up behind me. He took my hand once more, pulling me into the house. It was beautifully decorated; Esme had great taste. Everything was modern with an old fashioned twist to it; it all flowed really well together. The bottom floor was filled was warm colors; reds, browns and creams. The front door opened out into a spacious hallway, with beautiful grey stone flooring. Off to the left there was a large staircase covered in a thick chocolate brown carpet. There were no doors on the first floor, except one that lead to the bathroom; only open archways separated the different rooms. The living room was decorated in cream carpet, a huge brown corner loveseat and an open old fashioned fireplace.

Edward led me through the livng room and into the dining room. The dark cherry wood dining set was in the centre of the room, decorated with a silky red table cloth, candles and dinner utensils. It was amazing.

"Oh Edward, it's beautiful."

He smiled bashfully.

"Well I wanted everything to be perfect; you know how long I've been waiting for this date."

He led me over to the table and pulled out a chair for me.

"I put dinner in the oven just before I came and picked you up; it should be about ready."

"What are we having?"

"Rosemary herb roasties potatoes, grilled chicken and lemon rice."

"Sounds amazing."

"Thank you, can I get you anything to drink?"

"Um, can I have you got any apple juice?"

"Of course you can."

Edward disappeared into the kitchen and returned a few minutes later with a glass of apple juice for me and a glass of orange for himself.

"Edward, you don't have to drink juice just because I am."

"I have no idea what you are talking about?"

He said as he smirked behind his glass before taking a sip of orange and heading back into kitchen to dish up our food. After a few moments of bangs and clashes coming from the other room, Edward emerged carrying two steaming plates. My stomach growled loudly as he set the plate down in front of me.

"Someone's hungry."

"Well, I am eating for two."

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

"Oh my god Edward, I don't think I can move! You are too good at cooking."

"I think I will take that as a complement."

After dinner, we moved into the living room and snuggled up on the couch in front of the blazing fire. The sun had begun to set halfway through dinner so it was dark outside by now. I was sat with my legs tucked underneath me, leaning against Edward who had his arm around my shoulders, his long legs resting on the futon in front of us.

"Bella, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why didn't you try to leave James before? Why would you leave your family behind?"

I picked at my nails, refusing to look at him. James was a sensitive subject; something we had never openly spoke about. James was still missing and I was still on edge about it all. Deep down I knew he was looking for me; it was just a matter of time before he would find me.

"I was scared; James had too much power for me to overcome. It was either stay with him or allows harm come to my family. I could never let that happen."

"But you did leave him…"

"I did and look where that got me. James is missing, no doubt looking for me and now I have to live on the edge wondering when he is going to get me or my family."

"Why haven't you gone to the police?"

"My father is the only member of the forces I would be able to trust and even then, there's not much he can do. James has too many connections with the police."

"What are you going to do? I mean you can't live without protection Bella; what about your kids?"

"I really don't know Edward!"

I snapped, rising from the loveseat and walking to look out of the window. I heard Edward get off the sofa and walk up behind me. He wrapped one arms around my waist, pulling me back into his body, placing a kiss into my hair.

"I didn't mean it like that Bella. I'm just a little worried about you; I don't want you to get hurt."

I turned around in his arms and buried my face in his chest. His arms wrapped around me, enclosing me in a cocoon.

"Edward, I am barely trying to manage at the moment. I really don't want to think about it right now. Hopefully I can just get through this pregnancy before he turns up."

"Okay, I won't mention it for the moment. But I will be always in the background, keeping you safe."

Edward and I continued to talk for the rest if the evening before he took me home at 11. He pulled up outside my house, running around and opening my door for me. We strolled up the front path together and up to the door.

"I had a really good time tonight Edward. I think you've ruined food for me now."

"Well, it looks like I will be cooking for you a lot more in the future."

"Most defiantly."

"Goodnight Bella."

"Goodnight Edward."

Suddenly, he pulled me closer, wrapping on hand around my hair and the other hooking around my waist pulling me up against his body. He pressed his lips to mine, gently at first then more firmly. He sucked firmly on my bottom lip before biting slightly causing me to gasp. He took advantage of my open mouth and plunged his tongue into my own, fighting with my tongue. We kissed long and hard for a few more minutes until we were gasping for breath.

"Goodnight."

He whispered against my lips, his warm breath fanning across my face.

"Goodnight."

A/N: So what do you think?
