A/N: Welcome back lovelies! Yes I know I am the most terrible person for not keeping my word yet again and updating sooner. Honestly i'm not going to hackle ya with my excuses just know i I have not forgotten about y'all, I currently have a lot going on with my life although I will not let that get to me or finishing this story for y'all.

Anyways as always I don't own the characters the beautiful and talented S.M does I just create an alternative world . . . now on with the show.

B POV

Today was my non dinner date with Edward, and honestly to say the least I was practically shaking in my skin. I refused to feel like this, I hated that couldn't exactly feel myself around Edward.

I sighed looking at my reflection in the mirror, Alice and Rose had volunteered to dress me and doll me up, I however had kindly refused insisting that it was not a date and I had it together.

Looking at my reflection now I wasn't so sure about that, I had opter for a deep blue off the shoulder top with black leggings pairing it with flat low cut booties. I had let my hair naturally wavy with minimal makeup, topping everything off I had decided to keep my necklace on.

Sighing for the hundredth time today I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs, I could hear the game playing in the living room, Charlie was dozed off in his favorite old recliner.

Great! If I am quiet enough he won't hear me and I won't have to explain to him where I am going.

Unfortunately for me that was not my luck and as always the floor creaked scaring the crap out of me making me trip, Charlie shuffled in his chair looking my way he blinked a few times before his eyes adjusted.

"Bella? What's going on" he said gruffly I smiled sheepishly "nothing dad, what do you mean?" I said trying to play dumb.

He looked over at my outfit finishing with my face his expression suspicious.

"Where are you going?" I shrugged "Just having dinner with a friend" at this announcement he sat up straighter faced me fully making his recliner creak.

"Dinner? Friend? You mean Alice?" I blushed crimson red as I could see the wheels in his head spinning a thousand miles an hour trying to figure out what I was doing,

"Um no dad, it's actually Edward Cullen. . . ya know Alice's brother-" I didn't get to finish his face becoming pale as he processed the information. I gave him a few moments as he composed himself he walked my way.

I gulped loudly knowing what was to come.

"Bella you mean to tell you of all people are going out with him. . he is a - argh!" he ran his hands over his face frustrated, I smiled sadly I knew what he was thinking. His daughter had fallen in the hands of the towns young player.

"Dad it's not like that, listen he's just a friend-" he made a growling sound and stopped me "Bella listen, i've heard the rumours around town about him-" he paused for a second looking around contemplating what he was about to say "-guys like Edward usually want to have sex and leave you-"

Oh God, no no no! Charlie is walking on dad awkward territory. . . I need to stop him.

"Dad I know and I am not -" I could feel my cheeks burning up from the awkwardness that was settling between us.

"Bella I don't know if your mom has had this conversation with you yet about the birds and the bee's and what goes where and for how long-" I felt like my stomach was going to compulse at what he was say he was saying.

"Char- I mean dad, stop! Mom has already had this conversation with me and I know how to take care of myself. . . and don't worry I am not planning on sleeping with Edward, he is just a friend. . . and I'm still a virgin remember" with that I walked passed him and out the door yelling a 'i'll see you later' at him.

Whoa that was awkward. . .

Getting in my rusty pickup I drove to one of the only diners Fork's had, Edward had insisted on picking me up, however since this was NOT a date I refused. Of course that had not stopped him from making snide comments about how it was proper for man to pick that woman up or how my truck was old enough to be retired.

I'd been so deep in my thought's I did not realize that I had arrived at the diner, Edward's Volvo was already three spaces down from me.

Taking a deep breath I gave myself a quick pep talk before going out to meet him, he was wearing a grey v-neck with faded washed jeans and black combat boots. His tousled copper hair was as always a disarray, I did not know how he managed to be so good looking. . . Bella stop it, do not think that way about him, this is not a date.

"Bella!"

"Edward"

We both said at the same time, he smiled sheepishly "I brought you flowers" he pulled a bouquet of sunflowers and roses, to say the least I never expected this, my heart flutter and in the back of my mind I couldn't help to get more attracted to him. However despite how I was feeling now I needed to stop he was no good for me.

E POV

Today was my date with Bella, or as she liked to call it or platonic dinner. . . yeah yeah whatever makes her feel better. I was so tired of playing Mr. nice guy and not getting anything in return, I had not had sex in a few weeks, can't really say a number because it's been that long. Honestly I was not expecting this bet to take this long however the odds were not in my favor and Bella seemed to be a hard shell to crack.

I was not used to being strung along for so long without no fun, but I was determined to get that fucking car and see fucking James face when he is handing me those sweet ass keys to his precious car.

My train of thought got interrupted as I saw that shitty truck Bella drove around pull into the crappy diner, I sighed frustrated running my hand through my already unmanageable hair.

I had bought some flowers for her, I did not really know if she even liked flowers but I had seen some shit like that in one of those rom com movies that Alice like to watch and the girl had loved them. Although Bella wasn't like any other girl I had met, I grabbed the flowers and walked out of my car.

After an awkward exchange of hello's and her thanking me for the flowers we walked inside deciding to take a booth near the back. The overly friendly waitress who wore a shirt too small for her and left nothing to the imagination took our orders leaving Bella and I alone once again.

Bella sat quietly across from me looking down at her hand, the bouquet I had given her sat on the edge of the table. Now that I really looked at Bella I could see she was pretty in a girl next door kind of way, if you were into that simple shit. Her mahogany hair fell in waves down to her shoulders and those doe brown eyes with those pouty lips-

"Edward!" I blinked a few times and realized that Bella had been talking to me and like a big moron I had not been listening.

"I'm sorry what?" she smiled "I said you look to be in deep thoughts there pal" I raised my eyebrows at her "yeah I was thinking about how beautiful you are" she blushed crimson red at my words.

I was partially not lying.

"Oh" was all she had to say "So tell me about yourself Bella Swan" she looked at me her face searching for something, after a few seconds she made up her mind "what do you want to know Edward Cullen" she whispered.

"Everything and anything about you" she smiled not looking like she believed me but nodded.

"Ok- My name is Isabella Marie Swan I was born in Forks but when my mom - Renee- and charlie split she took me to Phoenix I-" she continued to tell me about her life with Renee, how she consider herself the adult more than her mother. How she missed Arizona and the sun, how she had to visit Charlie in Forks during the Summers. That her mother was a spontaneous woman and liked to try different things and how she had finally remarried a minor league baseball player and he traveled a lot. That she was selfless and wanted her mother happy so she had packed up and moved with Charlie to give her mom a chance to finally be able to travel with Phil her step dad.

She told me about her childhood and how she did not really had friends back in Arizona. . . she did exactly what I had asked her to do. She had opened herself up to me, at that moment all I could think about was how I could use all this info to my advantage.

I did not know it yet, but that is how I slowly started falling in love with Isabella Marie Swan.
