Okay so I've decided that I'm going to updates on Tuesdays, sooner if I have time to write a chapter or I'm in a particularly cheery mood when I write the update.

When I got home Thursday night I was still kind of in shock. I blindly put my keys and purse down on the kitchen counter and walked to the bathroom to remove my make-up and brush my teeth. I had hoped the date went well but I never expected it to go that…well. Who am I kidding? I hoped he would kiss me, I wanted him to kiss, God did I want it, but Edward didn't seem like the type to put out on a first date. Granted kissing wasn't exactly putting out but it was better than salute or asking me to call him 'sir' instead of Captain. Once I was finished in the bathroom I walked over to my bedroom and changed into my pajamas. By the time I was in bed my head was still spinning and I could only hope to get at least a few hours of sleep.

The next morning proved to be a hellish one, which was becoming more and more common these days. I had barely gotten any sleep and when I did green eyes and velvet lips haunted my dreams. Because I had been tossing and turning the majority of the night, I slept through my alarm and had to bypass breakfast and coffee on my way to work. A Bella with no coffee is not a happy Bella.

"Hey Bella, I thought you might need this" Alice said as she handed me a cup of coffee.

"How did you know?" I asked her.

"Is that really a question Bella? I figured you would have learned by now. By the way Rose and I expect a full synopsis on what went down last night." Alice winked and walked back to her cubicle. She was right however, about asking her how she knew I needed coffee I mean. The girl has some kind of a 6th sense, it's kind of scary sometimes but today it worked in my favor. I learned a long time ago to never bet against Alice. And as for the whole synopsis thing…what the fuck is a synopsis? Well, I know what it means by Webster's standards, I just don't know what it means by Alice's. Around 2 minutes after I got to my cubicle of hell Rosalie showed up and started asking questions about the date.

"Soooooo, how was it?"

"Good morning to you too Rose. It was good…really good actually."

"I would ask for more details but I have to get back to work. I have big news to tell you and Alice tonight so we're all going to SoHo Asian Bistro for dinner."

*sigh* "Alright sounds good. Do you want to meet there after work so we can change or just head straight there?" I asked her. It's not that I don't like going out with Rose and Alice, it's just that I really don't want to have to answer their questions when I can't even answer my own.

"We'll just head there straight from here. Alice is going to kill me for that but I have shit to do tonight and I can't wait for her pixie ass to finish getting ready when she looks fine already." Alice walked up at that moment with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

"I sensed that I was being talked about and low and behold I was right." She said in a teasing manner.

"Rose and I were just discussing dinner plans for tonight." Rose was right, Alice threw a minor hissy fit over not being able to go home and change but in the end agreed because one, it made more sense and two, she didn't really have any other options. I made it until lunch before I had an encounter with Mrs. Reverend, granted it wasn't that big of a deal, she just wanted me to add new information to a family's account electronically but if I had it my way I wouldn't have to talk to her at all. I actually heard back from one of the places I sent my resume into and was offered a position. Midnight Haven is a small daycare/child development center that focuses on children with special needs. It was my dream job. The only down side about it is that the facility is in Seattle. I wouldn't mind moving back there but it's the process of moving back there that is keeping me from immediately accepting the position. I'll probably mention it to Rose and Alice at dinner and get their input on it. The longer I sat in my cubicle the more final my decision became. I didn't set out to be sitting behind a desk all of my life. By the time the day was over I had made my decision and walked over to Mrs. Reverend's office to put in my two-week notice. The conversation went as well as could be expected. She was mad about losing an employee but at the same time I didn't really serve as an asset to her company so she understood where I was coming from, which was a first. Before I left for SoHo I called Midnight Haven and they told me that I could start next month, which was perfect because I still didn't have a place to live and I still had to break the news to Charlie.

Once I got to the restaurant I was already itching to get home. I needed to find an apartment and a moving company and time in between my current job and my new job to move. Alice and Rose were already seated when I got there so I headed over to the table and sat down.

"Hello Bella" Alice said as she eyed me up and down, looking like she was trying to figure something out.

"Uhh hi Alice. Hey Rose"

"Hi Bella, we ordered you an ice tea for now, is that okay?" Rose asked

"Yea that's fine, I don't really feel like drinking tonight anyway" I replied. After we ordered our food I was bombarded with questions about my date with the Captain, urmm Edward.

"So was he a good kisser?" Alice asked eagerly.

"Damn Alice why don't you ease into a bit? Give the girl a chance to catch her breath" Rose replied. I sighed and figured it would just be easier to tell them the entire story from the Facebook messages, to dinner, to the almost kiss and the ultimate kiss. Needless to say they were both speechless for the majority of dinner. Rose finally broke the ice by saying that she was moving to Seattle. Apparently she had given her two-week notice two weeks ago and her last day was today. She got a job at a law firm as an office manager, which is what she wanted to do after college anyway. After that I broke my news that I would be moving as well. Alice didn't exactly take all of this news well. She's not so good with big changes, and Rose and myself moving to Seattle was definitely a big change. After a relatively rough dinner we all went our separate ways. When I finally got to my apartment the first thing I did was call my dad. I told him about the position and what it offered and he seemed okay with it. He even offered to help me move in which is a godsend because I would never be able to do it by myself or with just Alice and Rosalie. I got off the phone with Charlie and changed out of my work clothes and into a pair of sweats and an old t-shirt. I booted up my computer and began the search for an apartment. I found a few good ones that I wanted to check out on one of the upcoming weekends. When I couldn't keep my eyes focused on the screen anymore I turned off my computer and headed to bed. I briefly wondered what Edward was doing at the moment but when I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 2am I figured he'd be sleeping. I had just gotten into bed when my phone chimed, signaling that I had a text message.

Hey Bella it's Edward. I'm pretty sure you're asleep right now but I wanted to say goodnight nonetheless. Or if you read this in the morning then Good morning Bella. I hope all is well and I'm looking forward to taking you out again :)

A/N: Okay I know that chapter was really short and I apologize for that. I'm suffering from a bit of writer's block. I have a bunch of ideas but I don't know which ones I want to include or how to get to that point in the story, *sigh* I'll get it eventually.
