A/N: Readers, I am so sorry you had to wait this long! I know I said I might update on the weekend, but my mom took away my laptop, so I haven't been able to get on FanFiction for a whole week! It was agonizing not knowing how people responded to my last chapter. With that said, I was a little sad when I got back on and saw I had a much smaller number of reviews than I had last chapter. Don't get me wrong, I still really appreciate all of you who reviewed, but I think any writer can agree that is depressing when the interest of your readers goes down. So, review and I won't be depressed! :)

Anyway, I am glad a lot of you liked Edward and Bella getting together! This chapter is pretty cute! I thought we needed a little break from all the drama…

***Haha wait, one more thing! I know I have been slacking off editing these last few chapters. If there are any betas out there that would like to handle this story, please review to let me know or send me a message. I am a little unpredictable when I update, so I need a flexible beta, if you know what I mean haha. Anyway, I think this story would be better if someone looked it over, so please don't hesitate to send me a message!

Previously:

"Kissing Tanya was fake. I felt no emotions except dread. Now this…" he trailed off.

He then grabbed me to him and pressed his lips to mine. The emotions I felt couldn't even be described. It was a mixture of pure happiness and perfection. Kissing Edward left me stunned and speechless and wanting more. We just fit.

"Is a real kiss," he murmured.

We were a superstar and an average girl. But it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. It was just Edward and Bella. Two people hopelessly falling in love.

Edward and Bella. Edward and me. Bella. Edward. Together. My mind still couldn't grasp how lucky I was. It was hard to believe how much I hated him just weeks ago. Then, bam! All of my feelings come pouring out. Even I couldn't understand how I realized I wanted Edward. I just knew.

And now, we could be together without hiding our feelings. Of course, Edward would have to go back in four and a half weeks to Hollywood. But I was willing to have my heart broken if it meant being with Edward for any amount of time. Love really does crazy things to you, doesn't it?

The only other thing getting in our way was Tanya. The clingy, air headed, fake girlfriend. Edward still had to pretend to date her while I had to watch. Gag. But all that mattered was I was the only one truly with Edward. Tanya could make up great stories about her and Edward's love life, but I would know that they were fake.

At least, I sure hoped they would all be fake.

If Edward had to spend more than the necessary every other week in public with Tanya, I would go insane.

"Bella," someone whispered creepily in my ear, startling me from unmoving position on my bed.

"Gah!" I screamed like the true girl I was.

The person chuckled. "We have been together for exactly 22 hours and 47 minutes. It is time for me to take you on a real date."

Ah, it was Edward trying to give me a heart attack. How nice.

"But we have been to a lot of places together," I said.

"But not on a real date!" he emphasized. "I have somewhere I want to take you."

"Where?" I asked warily. I was always scared of the places Edward took me. Clearly going to the amusement park and boating didn't work out.

He just smiled. "Well… how do you feel about going to a haunted corn maze?"

"Haunted?" I gulped. "But it isn't Halloween yet."

"Silly Bella. It doesn't need to be Halloween to go to a haunted corn maze!"

I hated how he kept saying haunted. "What makes it so haunted?" I asked.

He shrugged nonchalantly. Too nonchalantly. "Just stories to scare people…"

"Sounds fun. When do you want to go?"

"Wait, you are agreeing?" he asked, shocked. "You really are going to go?"

Was I really that unreasonable and stubborn?

"Yes, I am going. And I won't scream once," I said with a hidden smirk.

He snorted. "And pigs will fly! So, you want to make a bet, huh?"

I nodded. "The first person to scream is the loser. And the loser has to do something of the winner's choice."

"If I win… you have to be my slave," he said mischievously.

What was with Edward wanting to make me his slave? He had mentioned that twice since I met him. It was getting a tad concerning, yet I still liked it…

"Fine," I said. "And if I win, you have to be my slave," I said, throwing in a wink for good measure.

Edward's stunned face was priceless.

"Aw, how nice!" Alice said, barging into my room. "The new couple is already making a bet to sabotage each other! You guys are too romantic."

Alice found out that Edward and I were boyfriend/girlfriend approximately five minutes after Edward made it official. Of course, she kept harassing us about it. You would think by the elated smile on her face that she was the one getting committed to by Jasper.

"Goodbye Alice," Edward said seriously, trying to hide a smile.

"Have fun being Edward's slave, Bella!" Alice giggled and left.

"I am not going to lose," I said.

"Sure… Then I guess you wouldn't mind going tonight?"

"Bring it on loser."

"Am I making you angry?" Edward asked happily.

"Yes," I said truthfully.

Then he leaned in and attacked my lips with his for the second time. I gave in instantly and could feel our pent up emotions pour out. This was nothing like our first kiss. This kiss was heavy and needy, not at all gentle.

He pulled away, too fast for my liking. "I guess now is a good time to tell you that people jump out to scare you and chase you around the maze," he smiled cheekily.

"Edward Anthony Cullen!" I said angrily.

Instead of reprimanding him for not telling me this 'small' piece of information, I latched my small hands into his hair and pulled his face to mine. Edward could anger me all he wanted if it meant I could kiss him…

***

"We are here!" Edward exclaimed, dressed as 'Eddie' and running out of his Volvo to open my car door before I had a chance to stop him. "Are you nervous?"

"Nope," I said, completely lying through my teeth. I was terrified. "Are you?"

"I was born fearless," he said smugly.

He paid for my ticket, claming that I could not pay one penny tonight since we were on a date. We walked through the pitch-black darkness to find the entrance of the maze.

"And here it is," Edward said.

The sign in front of the maze said:

Caution! Not for children or people who get scared easily. This maze is intended for fun, but do not enter unless you can handle the workers popping out in the darkness and chasing you. Chasing me?! All of the tools used by the workers are fake, like the chainsaws and knives. Chainsaws and knives?! What the Hell? Do not enter if you have any medical conditions, for we are not liable for what could happen. What is going to happen?! Have fun! Fun?!

"Sounds fun," Edward said cheerily.

It was getting a little ridiculous how Edward kept making me do things I didn't want to do. But I knew if I told him I didn't want to do it, he wouldn't make me. I just wanted to get over some of my irrational fears. Edward gave me that push to do it. Well, large shove.

"Hold my hand and don't let go," I whispered.

His giddy eyes softened and he whispered fiercely back, "I would never let go."

With that I felt much safer. I was with Edward. He could protect me like nobody else.

But I was still going to win. And make Edward by my slave.

Edward and I started in the maze. I was constantly alert, paranoid that something was about to pop out. For minutes, Edward and I just walked. There was only one path to go, which only made me more scared. Finally, we came across a stop with a question on it between two paths. According to Edward, you picked the path (to get you to the exit- right where I wanted to go!) based on the right answer to the question.

"How many muscles does it take to French kiss?" I read the question. "18 or 34?"

"Want to try?" Edward asked suggestively.

"No, not here!" I said. I could just picture making out with Edward and an amused worker jumping out of the maze to scare the crap out of us.

"Fine. 34 muscles. And normal kissing only takes two muscles," Edward said matter-of-factly.

"How did you know that?" I asked in bewilderment.

"I know a lot of useless things. And I was an inquisitive boy," he laughed.

"Go figure," I mumbled, but followed with him to the path that said 34.

We walked contently together along the path. It was going well until I tripped on a loose twig. I thought I was going to plummet to the ground and then get chased by a worker, but Edward miraculously caught me.

"Thank goodness I work out," he said.

"I would hate to break you," I said sarcastically.

Just as Edward was about to talk, a man in a mask and fake blood caked on him busted through a corn stalk in the maze.

"I will break you!" he bellowed.

I almost screamed, but I caught myself! Edward gripped my hand to assure me that he was there, and we ran like we were supposed to. The man continued to chase us and was just five feet behind us.

"You can't run from me!" he chuckled like a maniac.

Wow, for a hired worker, he sure got into his job. He grabbed my arm and held up the fake chainsaw menacingly.

"Goodbye beautiful…" he smiled eerily.

"Wow, this is creepier than I thought," Edward whispered.

It was creepy because it felt so real. By some miracle, Edward and I ran faster down the paths and lost chainsaw guy. I sighed in relief.

"Look, we are back at the entrance!" I breathed.

I guess we went in a circle… That is embarrassing.

"Let's get out of this maze," Edward agreed.

Right when he said that, he disappeared into the corn stalks so quickly I thought I imagined it. I

I thought I heard a little scream.

"Edward?" I called nervously. "Edward?"

There was nothing but silence. Where could he have gone? Did one of the workers get him?

My head was racing in confusion when something else jumped out from the stalks and yelled a classical, "BOO!"

"Ahh!" I screamed, but then covered my mouth quickly, remembering the bet I still had with Edward.

"Ah ah!" Edward said, revealing himself. "You are my slave!"

"That's is not fair!" I protested. "You aren't allowed to hide and scare me!"

"We didn't have any rules," he said.

"You are a jerk," I said.

"You love it," he smirked.

"You love me screaming," I smirked.

His mouth dropped as he realized the other connotation I was giving that sentence.

"Let's go get some hot coco," I said.

He nodded. "Who put you are in charge? I thought you were my slave. I am the one making orders," he grinned, raising his eyebrows.

"Tomorrow I will be your 'slave,' I said, exasperated.

"I will hold you to that. Now, what do you say we go to that giant trampoline over there?" he asked, pointing to a kid's paradise.

There was a giant blob that five to ten year olds were bouncing on. It looked like a giant version of the trampoline I always wanted as a kid.

"Let's go," I said eagerly. Oh, did I feel like a little kid again.

We rushed over to the trampoline where we took off our shoes and joined the little kids. The expressions on the moms' faces told me that they were not happy about two seventeen year olds disrupting their kids' fun, but hey, there was no age limit!

Edward was really getting into his bouncing. He was trying to double bounce me, but he ended up bouncing all the kids and sending them flying. Soon they were all asking him to bounce them, and he happily obliged. The mothers eventually dragged their kids off the trampoline- obviously uncomfortable with Edward and me there. Ridiculous! But luckily, that meant it was just Edward and me there.

We bounced and jumped and relieved our childhood. Together. I don't think I ever had that much fun. The only thing I could hear was our laughter mixing together, creating the most beautiful sound I ever heard.

This moment was perfect. So breathtakingly perfect that it was hard to imagine another moment when I wasn't this happy.

Suddenly, Edward stopped bouncing and just stared at me.

"What is wrong?" I asked.

"You just look even more pretty than you normally do," he said almost shyly.

I doubted I looked very attractive. My hair was going every direction, my cheeks were flushed, and the little make up I had on washed away.

"Really," I said in disbelief.

"You look happy. Carefree," he commented.

"I am happy," I said.

"Why?" he challenged, just wanting to hear me say 'I have you.'

"I like getting free hot coco," I deadpanned. "Well, I am supposed to be getting free hot coco which hasn't happened yet…"

He laughed. "So that is why you are with me? For free stuff?"

"And so I can keep doing this…"

I launched myself onto him, no longer able to restrain myself from jumping him. Animalistic, I know. We collided down on the trampoline while he hovered over me, staring right into my eyes.

"And so I can keep doing this…" he murmured my words.

He leaned into me and pressed his lips once again to mine.

You would think that kissing Edward would feel the same each time, but every time our lips connected more feelings of lust surged through me. I felt like I was in a fairytale. That suddenly made me feel nervous- fairytales weren't real!

"Edward," I whispered. "This is all real, right?"

He looked at me like I grew another head. "This is the realest thing I have ever experienced in my life," he said intensely. "Much more real than anything in Hollywood."

"Good," I sighed in content.

"Bella, you are the most important thing in my life. You come before my friends. Hell, you come before my life back in Hollywood. Always remember that."

"I will," I whispered. I was overwhelmed with his words I could only settle for short answers.

He rolled us over so I was on top of him. "Now let's get back. You need an excellent night's sleep so you can be a good slave."

I blushed. "What exactly are you going to make me do?"

"Time can only tell. But I have a nice little outfit picked out…"

A/N: Aw, the first real date! I hope it made you feel all tingly inside. This chapter wasn't very serious… well actually, this whole story so far hasn't been that serious, but in a few chapters it will have more of a plot going on. I think now that they have a real relationship this story will progress better. Anyway, review and make me really happy if you want to see another chapter again! (Haha just kidding… or am I?)
