Chapter 11- The Date

Tonight was the second date I would go on with Edward, the first that Alice and Rosalie were going to be helping me get ready for. I don't know what in the world made me say it, but I told them that I needed their help to get "glamorized" as Alice had pit it.

As Rosalie pulled my hair and Alice prodded my face, I day dreamed. I had learned a long time ago that the only way to get through these sessions of Bella Barbie was to think of other, happier things.

When I had told Alice and Rosalie, they were ecstatic. They had screamed and jumped up and down and threw their arms around me.

Charlie got home a little after Edward had gone home the night of our first "date". He admitted that he was just there for a couple of days and then would have to be on his way again. I was really considering getting an apartment for myself and letting Charlie just move to Seattle permanently. He was there for most of his time anyway, and I was nineteen, of legal age to move into a house of my own.

I didn't tell Charlie that I was dating anyone. I figured that I would tell him if we got anymore serious. Edward agreed that it wasn't a good idea to call us boyfriend/girlfriend, we were going to take it slow, something I was glad for.

Which brought me back to tonight. I was nervous, but it was like the day before school, when you're nervous and excited.

"Bella, you are going to look SO pretty when we are done with you. Not that you aren't normally, but Edward is going the swoon at the sight of you," Alice said as she was painting my nails a light baby blue.

"I don't think that Edward is going to 'swoon' Alice. I really doubt I will look that good," I ignored her compliment and continued staring blankly ahead.

"Oh, I beg to differ," Rosalie intervened. "You look hot, Bella."

"Guys, you do know that all we are doing is going to the movies and a little Italian restaurant Edward says is good. Don't go overboard please."

"No worries, Bella. I'm just putting your hair in a ponytail and Alice is going natural with the makeup. Just enhancing what you already have."

I was soon done and before I could look in the mirror, they made me put on my outfit. I actually liked it, it wasn't too much, but it wasn't something that I would wear on any normal day.

The outfit consisted of a pair of black knee legging and a blue sequined top that went a couple inches past my hips. I chose my favorite pair of black ballet flats to go with it.

Just as I slipped on my shoes, the door rang. I looked at the clock and noticed it was exactly 6:30. Always Mr. Punctual.

I opened the door and let Edward in. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I melted against his chest and all too soon he pulled away.

I heard a chorus of 'awwwww' in the background and spun to see that my two best friends were at the top of the stairs.

"Good evening, ladies," Edward said with a smile while the two of them came down the stairs.

"Hi, Edward. You take good care of our little Bella here and have her back by 11," Rosalie nodded her head in agreement of what Alice had said.

"OK, bye you guys," I hurried out of the house with Edward in tow.

"Sorry, but I'm sure that they would have kept you in there for a while if we didn't hurry. So what's the plan for tonight?" I asked.

"Well we have two options, we could see the early showing of the movie and then go to dinner, or we could have dinner first and see a later showing. Which would you prefer?"

I'm actually pretty hungry," I rubbed my tummy. "Could we go to dinner first?"

"Absolutely."

The rest of the night pasted quickly. The small restaurant was wonderful and the food was even better. We chose a funny, light movie and ended up laughing most of the time. We were hand-in-hand as we exited the theater.

The drive back to my house was a short one, too short if you asked me. We were slightly behind schedule, and it was ten till eleven. We pulled up into my driveway and he ran over to my side of the car and opened the door before I could do it myself.

"I had a really great time tonight, Edward," I knew it was corny, but I really did.

"Me too, Bella," he smiled as he lead me over to my front porch.

All of the sudden, I was nervous. I didn't know what happened now. All of my past dates drove my home and I just jumped out of the car. No one had ever walked me to my door.

He lightly grabbed my face and looked into my eyes for any sign of rejection. When he saw none, he leaned down, but left a gap for me to close. I took a deep breath and lifted my face.

"Bella, what are you still doing out there?" I heard Alice say as she opened the door.

"Oops, Alice, I think we interrupted something," Rosalie had a smirk on her face.

"No, I was just leaving. I'll call you soon, OK?" Edward looked at me for approval.

I nodded and watched his car pull out of my driveway. I pushed past Alice and Rosalie, ignoring their apologies. I wasn't mad, per say, but I wanted to be left alone for a while to ponder all that had happened tonight.

I went up to my bathroom and wiped the makeup from my face and pulled my hair out of the ponytail. After changing into my pajamas, I retreated to my room.

As soon as I laid down, my phone started to vibrate.

The screen flashed the name Edward.

He had said the he would call soon.

A/N- Ok so I want to know your opinions on this chapter and also, I wanted to know what you think about two other things. One, I have thought of another story that I want to write, but was wondering if you all thought I should do it. It would mean that I couldn't update as often and I could always wait till I finish this story. Two, do you want me to bring Emmet and Jasper into the story? I could write some Jasper and Alice, Emmet and Rosalie romance, but I don't know if you want this to be an all Edward and Bella story. Please tell me what you think in a review or a message.

Review Please. I love reading them.
