BPOV

"Be safe," was all he said before walking towards his car. He waved at me before pulling out of the driveway. I walked into the house with a shit eating grin on my face.

I closed the door and walked into the living room where Rosalie was waiting for me.

"I'd ask you how the date went, but you are positively glowing, so that answers my question," she said as she took in my appearance.

I sighed happily as I sat down on my couch. "It was unbelievable, Rose," I told her.

"Um, care to elaborate?" she asked while raising her eyebrows.

"Well, I got there and looked around the place. Then, Mike Newton arrived and tried forcing me to 'have a good time' with him. Then –"

"Wait," Rosalie interrupted. "Mike Newton, the asshole from the restaurant? I swear to God that I'm going to kick his ass!"

"Rose, calm down," I said. "Let me finish, okay?"

"Okay, I'm sorry," she said. "He just pisses me off so much."

"I understand," I said with a smile. "So, anyway, Edward shows up and went all knight-in-shining-armor on his ass. Then we got our coffees – he drinks his the way we do – and we sat down by a window. We talked about just about everything, minus relationships. I knew that he didn't want to talk about that just yet. Then, I started getting hungry so we went to Cap City. He drove me home and then, outside our door, he kissed me."

I braced myself for the scream that I knew that Rosalie was about to deliver, and she didn't disappoint. "Oh, my God!" she yelled as she got up and hugged me. "Bella, I am so happy for you. So, are you guys dating now?"

"Yeah," I told her. "He asked me to be his girlfriend after he saved me from Mike."

"Bella, this is awesome!" she said excitedly. It took a lot to get Rosalie like this; she must really be happy for me.

"Thanks," I told her. "I'm a worried about school tomorrow. I'm terrified of having to see Mike Newton and I'm a little worried about what the other students are going to think once they find out."

"Aw, honey," she said soothingly. "It's going to be okay. You know that I'm going to be there to protect you. I am also sure that the Cullens would stand in on your behalf. There's nothing to worry about."

"Thank you, Rose," I said gratefully. "I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem, Bells," she told me. "You know I love you."

"I love you too, Rose," I replied. "Well, I'm exhausted, so I think that I'm going to go to bed."

"I understand," she said. "You have had a long and eventful day today. I'll make breakfast in the morning so you can get some extra sleep."

I nodded and went upstairs to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and was astonished at what I saw.

Apart from the obvious changes of the makeover, I looked totally different. My eyes were no longer just flat brown; they sparkled with happiness. My cheeks were lightly pink and my skin looked like it was glowing. I really had it bad for him.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail and started washing my face to get the make up off. I then meticulously brushed my teeth. I left the bathroom and went to my room to change into some pjs. After I put on my sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, I plopped onto my bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about Edward.

He was just such an incredible human being both physically and mentally.

Physically, he was like my own personal Adonis. It felt good calling him mine; my Edward. I mentally sighed at the thought. His unruly hair was beautiful and practically begged me to run my fingers through it. If you looked up sex hair in the dictionary, his hair would be the first definition. His eyes were so green and intense – like they were trying to see into my soul. His nose was strong and straight, but neither too big nor too small. His lips were soft but masculine. His muscles were noticeable but not over defined like his brother's were. I couldn't wait to see him without clothes, but I knew that wouldn't happen anytime soon. Still, a girl could hope…

Mentally, he was astonishing. He was smart and had a good memory. He was a musician and I could tell that he loved it a lot. I was sure that he was being modest about his abilities, and I couldn't wait to see what those talented fingers could do on the piano. He was an attentive listener and conversation flowed easily with him. I could tell that he was an introvert like me, but with him, I felt so comfortable with talking about everything. He was chivalrous and gentlemanly which was something that I was surprised by, but liked a lot. He was very protective of me, but not to the point of being stalkerish. He was a loving and caring person. He never did anything halfway.

Somewhere during all of that, I had an epiphany; I was falling in love with Edward Cullen. I knew that I wasn't in love with him yet; I couldn't fall in love with him until he told me about Tanya. I was frustrated that she was keeping us apart without me even knowing the woman, but I knew that Edward needed his own time to heal. I would be there 100% for him when he decided to tell me. What was the worst thing that could have happened?

I felt my eyelids droop and I allowed myself to fall asleep to thoughts of Edward.
