Find Me
Edward's POV
She wanted to know. I couldn't tell her the truth. So I lied. "It's definitely a good dream. I'm here with you right now." She eyed me curiously. Then smiled at me.
"Sure, sure." She playfully answered me, while fanning, herself like she was madly in love. "Well I better be going. I mean we're going to be seeing each other soon enough again tonight anyway. Frankly I'm getting tired of spending all this time with you." I sarcastically said to her while walking towards the door. "Edward you're the one always after me. Don't push your luck, or else I'll cancel our date." She playfully pushed me even more out the door. "See you soon!." I called out while walking away. "Bye lover boy." Bella swooned dramatically.
Walking down the street felt nice. I don't do this much, and I was thankful that it was a brilliant day for a nice outing. I didn't think anyone, or anything could change my mood at this moment. God was I wrong. Just as I passed the coffee shop I saw one girl stand herself out of her seats, and pranced out the store to my side. "Hello Edward." She cooed. I wasn't one to be impolite so I mirrored her actions apart from the cooing. "Hey Tanya." "What are you doing all the way out here? I missed you at your house this afternoon. What happened?" She jumped up, and down by my side making me irritated. I had to think of something quick! "I wasn't even at home this afternoon. I was out with a friend." "Oh maybe I know him, or her…" What is she up to? She stopped in front of me, and carefully placed her hands on my shoulders. She was flirting, and I was just not interested "Ah Tanya please." I said while taking her hands off of me. "We're not together anymore, so stop the touching." I wanted to hiss it out at her but I stopped myself, and told her nicely.
She knew she wasn't going to get anywhere with me so she left, huffing with anger in the other direction. I made my way home, and went into the kitchen. My mother, Esme was cooking up a storm. She had made salad, French fries, and hot dogs. "Hey mom, how are you?" I spoke to her while taking the dishes out of her hands, and set them up on the table. "Oh Edward. I'm fine. Where have you been?" She turned off the stove, and came an sat beside me. "Just out with a friend." I was vague. "Does this person have a name? She asked while putting her elbow on the table, letting her hand cradle her face. "Um well her name is Bella." I said a smile forming on my face. I had my mom's immediate attention when I had said "her." "Oh what a pretty name! When do we get to meet Bella?" Just as she said her name Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett came busting through the hallway. I eyed my mom carefully, my face turned anxious, and she stopped herself from asking anymore questions at that point. "Hey Eddie!" Emmett yelled. Rosalie, and Alice just had some of the salad, Jasper had a bit of everything, and Emmett almost ate the entire table. Chairs included.
After I was finished, I ran upstairs cleaned myself up, and dressed in some nice casual black dress pants, and a maroon dress shirt. I rolled up the sleeves making myself feel more at ease for mine, and Bella's first date tonight. I would take her to Seattle tonight. I wanted her to get out of this town, and see something unfamiliar. I wanted her to experience something new. I made it to her house just a little bit before seven. I knocked on the door softly. My eyes went wide. I was stunned. She was wearing a nice flowing blue dress, and was carrying her small jacket with her. Her hair was made up in swirls. Hardly any makeup was on her delicate face because she didn't need any of it. She turned crimson at the sight of me which gave her color on her porcelain skin. If looks good kill, Bella would be the end of me. I mentally thought. "Hello beautiful." I smiled my signature smile at her, causing her face to increasingly redden. "Hey there you." She eyed me, and turned behind her to shut the door. Just then she took my hand, and the electricity flew right through me. I walked her to my car, and opened the door for her. I made my way around, and entered. I turned onto the highway, and she had a peculiar look on her face. "Where are you taking me Edward?" She asked. The way her voice sounded saying my name were literally like bells. "It's a surprise." I told her at first, but then I gave in giving her little clues here, and there while we were making the trip to Seattle. She would make faces at me at my clues, and that's when I knew that they were too hard for her to figure out so I was satisfied, that she still didn't know.
When we made the last turn, and the view came to us, I turned to her slightly to see her expression. "Oh my God! We're in Seattle!" She looked at me with a beaming smile. I let out a laugh. "Yes we are. I made reservations at a restaurant that's just around this building." "Edward, thank you so much!" She was so excited. It made my stomach fill with butterflies fluttering around. Some of them had to be bad though.
I parked the car, and handed the keys to the valet. Bella widened her eyes, and I immediately knew what she was thinking but she grabbed my arm linking it with hers, and told me what she had been thinking quietly. "Edward this is too much. It must cost a fortune!" "Only for you." She looked down, and then I brought her face back up to my viewpoint with my finger at her chin. "Never look down, you're too beautiful to be looking at the ground." We walked in, and I gave the hostess my last name so she can seat as at our reserved table. "Right this way." She said. I pulled out Bella's chair, and she playfully placed the napkin on her lap. "What will you have to drink?" The waiter came up to us. "Oh I'll just have a water please." "Same for me as well." I said to him. "Coming right away."
"So are you having fun so far?" I asked her while leaning in closely. "Yes, very much so." She giggled a little bit. We had our drinks just a few moments later, and we ordered our food. "How was everything?" The waiter asked us. "Just perfect" Bella told him, and it appeased him. "Would you like to look at the desert menu?" He graciously pulled it out, and left it for us to skim through. "I'm fine but you can get something Edward." Bella put the menu in front of me. I heard my stomach growl, and I told her that I was full doing full circles on my stomach which earned me a full grin from Bella. "Ready to go Bella?" I came to her side carefully pulling out her chair for her. I placed her jacked on her petite shoulders, and gently took her hand in mine.
I decided to walk around with her for a little bit around the town. We viewed some of the stores from the outside because they had been closed for the night. She eyed a few jewelry stores, and I saw her eyes gleaming at a pair of sparkling, dangling diamond earrings. They would look beautiful on her. I thought of her wearing them, and I mentally made a note of which store they were locked up in. The night was getting cooler, and we made our way back to the car. I drove her around a little bit around the city, and she was in awe of the tall buildings, and lights.
We made our way back to Forks just past ten. I stopped the car just at her sidewalk, and walked to her side to open the door for her. I extended my hand for her to steady herself out of the car. We walked up the pathway to her door. "Thank you Edward. That was a lovely evening." She was gracious to me. "It was my pleasure." I took her hand, and kissed it softly. I then brought my face back up to her to meet her eyes. I leaned in, and kissed her full lips. She wrapped her one arm on my neck, and the other in my hair caressing my head. It was the most intense moment in my life. I wanted all those moments to be with her. She let her lips escape mine slowly. "Goodnight Edward." She said opening her door. "Goodnight my Bella."
