BPOV
I was walking on cloud nine on the way to meet Alice and Rose. I had heard the expression before but up until this moment I never experienced it myself. Edward had asked me to come over to his place tonight. I wasn't sure if he would consider it a date but in my mind it was. During our conversation I was hinting at the fact that I had nothing to do tonight, hoping that maybe he would want to hang out. I never expected it to work out so great for me.

I was the last one to get to Rose's car and it didn't take long for the girls to notice something was different with me.

"What has you all smiles today Bella," Alice asked from the front seat.

"Nothing," I looked out the window not meeting their eyes.

"You are such a bad liar," I could feel Rose's eyes on me through the review mirror. I pretended not to hear her and continued to stare outside.

"Come on Bella," Alice moved in her seat until she was looking back at me, "you have to tell us."

"Who says," there was a small smile on my lips. Withholding information from them was more fun then I thought it was going to be.

Alice turned around with a huff and I couldn't help but giggle a little. We got back to the apartment pretty quick and made our way up to our place. Once we were all inside Rose and Alice pushed me into my room and locked the door behind them.

"Alright Swan, you are going to tell us what is making you so happy," they both folded their arms across their chests at the same time. The sight made me laugh which only made them narrow their eyes at me.

"Come on guys you look so funny," I waved my hands at them and they both laughed a little with me. Then they came and sat down next to me on the bed with Alice on my right and Rose and my left.

"Bella, why won't you tell us," Alice pouted at me and I knew I was going to cave very soon.

"Alright I will tell you guys," Alice bounced up and down on the bed, "but only if you promise me one thing." Alice pouted a little more but nodded her head I looked over at Rose who also nodded her head. "You guys have to promise not to freak out and make a big deal out of it," I was already making a big deal out if it in my mind and I didn't need them to hype it up anymore. It was one thing for me to get my hopes up only to have them crushed but I didn't want Alice and Rose to get my hopes up even more. I took a deep breath then looked down at my hands. "I'm going over to the guys' house tonight to watch movies with Edward," I rushed it out making is sound like one long word.

"What," the look on Rose's face told me that she didn't understand anything I had just said.

"She is going to the guys' house to watch movies with Edward," Alice squealed next to me as she bounced even higher on the bed. "Oh my God Bella I'm so excited. We have to pick out the right outfit and then hair. Have you decided what movie you guys are going to watch, I think it should either be something romantic or scary. If it is scary then he will have to hold you close to protect you," she hadn't taken a breath the entire time she was talking.

"Alice slow down," I held my arms out placing my hands on her shoulders. "Remember what I told you, you promised not to freak out," a small pout formed on her mouth. "No Alice, right now that pout is not going to help you at all. I told you guys because you are my friends but I really don't want you guys to make a big deal over this," I looked down at my hands again.

"Why," Rose's voice was gentle.

"Because," I couldn't look up at their faces. Now that I had told them I was starting to feel pathetic, I'm sure that Edward wasn't thinking so much about our get-together tonight.

Rose put her arm around my shoulder, "Bella, we can't help you if you don't tell us what is wrong."

"I just feel like if I get my hopes up too high on things between me and Edward it is going to hurt so much more when it doesn't work out," I bit my lip to keep the tears back.

"Why don't you think things are going to work out?"

"Because," I waved my hands in front of me, "there are so many things I don't even know where to start."

"Just start with one," Alice asked.

"Well for starters he is gorgeous and then look at me," I felt stupid telling them, that after all they were the most beautiful girls I had ever met.

"You're kidding me right," Alice sounded shocked, I kept my head down feeling too embarrassed about this all. "You're really serious aren't you?" I nodded my head once and I felt the bed move as Alice stood up. "Bella that is just crazy talk," she was pacing back and forth. "You are beautiful Bella, a natural beauty that is rare to find," she ran her hands through her hair something that I was guessing ran in the family. "And the fact that you don't even understand how beautiful you are only makes you more so, you obviously don't see yourself the way others do." She was done now and fell back down on the bed where she was sitting before.

"She is right you know," Rose squeezed my shoulder once before dropping her arm. It was absurd that these amazing looking girls where trying to tell me, plain Jane Bella, that I was beautiful. "Alright, I see that you aren't going to believe us now so what is another one of your reasons as to why it won't work with the two of you?"

"Well he is older then I am," that wasn't the real reason but it was the first thing that came to mind.

"That is a stupid reason Bella, he is only two years older then you are. Would you really tell Alice not to go after Jasper because of his age or me with Emmett?"

"No," my voice was quiet. "I'm just guessing that he is going to want someone older and more experienced," my face became red as soon as the last word came out of my mouth.

"Experienced in what," there was no way I was going to be able to meet Rose's eyes. "Oh I see…"

"What? I'm confused," Alice whined next to me.

"You know experienced," Rose exaggerated the word.

"Ohhhh," Alice finally understood and I thought my face was going to start on fire.

"How much experience do you have," I wanted to die when Alice asked me. "I know you don't feel comfortable talking about this Bella but again how are we supposed to help you if you won't talk with us about it."

"None," I almost yelled. "I have no experience what so ever," I was now pacing in the same spot where Alice had earlier. "I have done nothing with a boy whatsoever. The only boyfriend I had in high school went out with me for three days before he found someone better. Edward deserves someone so much better then me," I couldn't hold back the tears any longer.

"Bella," Rose slowly got up for the bed and made her way towards me, "there is nothing wrong with that."

"Yeah right," I knew I was having a fit but I couldn't stop myself, all of my insecurities where bubbling to the surface and I couldn't push them down.

"Rose is right Bella and I've known my brother for a very long time, my whole life in fact," she joked, "and he is not the type of guy to hold that against you. He would never do anything to push you past your limits," she placed her hands on my shoulders much like I had done earlier. "Edward is a good guy Bella, he would never do anything to hurt you."

"I know this," I let out a sigh, "I'm just worried that I would be a disappointment. I'm sure he has been with better girls then me and I don't think I can stand up to them," that was the biggest worry I had. I didn't want to get involved with someone just to have them be disappointed that I wasn't something more.

"Oh Bella," Rose pulled me in to a tight hug and Alice came and joined us in a group hug.

"Bella honey," Alice pulled back so she could look at me, "whoever is lucky enough to be with you would have to be a moron to be disappointed. And I'm really hoping that my brother is that lucky guy," she gave me a wink.

Rose let go of me then looked me in the eyes, "Bella you are a beautiful, smart, young women and with the help of Alice and me you will also become confident and sexy," she laughed along with Alice.

"Sure, sure guys," I walked to my mirror and looked at myself. "Oh God I'm a mess," I started to wipe the tears away from my eyes which only caused me to look worse. "Ah that is useless I'm just going to have to take another shower," a shower sounded nice right now; maybe I could wash away all the stress that had come on in the last hour.

"Alright you do that while Rose and I pick out the perfect outfit for you," Alice was all smiles.

"No Alice," I spun around to see her face fall. "It is just that I don't want Edward to think this is a big deal to me. And before you say anything, yes it is a big deal but I don't what him to know that," I was confusing myself while talking; I just hoped that they could keep up.

"Okay fine," Alice huffed and left the room.

"Don't worry about her, she just loves to play Bella Barbie," Rose gave me a quick hug and then left.

I took a long hot shower which did help me relaxed. It was crazy how in just a short period of time I could go from cloud nine to wanting to crawl in a hole. In a way it felt good to get it all off of my chest and it did help talking it over with Alice and Rose. They were amazing friends and their words really did make me feel better, even if I didn't fully believe them yet. I'm not sure if I would ever believe that someone like Edward would be lucky to have me. Once I was done with the shower I went back to my room changing back into the outfit I was previously wearing. Then I threw my hair up into a messy bun and walked out to the living room where Alice and Rose were sitting watching TV. I sat down next to Rose on the couched and watched the makeover show they had on.

"So what are you guys going to do tonight," I asked during one of the commercials.

"Emmett and I are going to go out to a movie," Rose had a smile on her face.

"And Jasper is going to come over here to hang out with me," Alice had the same smile on her face.

All of a sudden it hit me, "So that means I will be alone with Edward?"

"Yup," Alice popped the p and gave me a smug smile.

"When did you guys make these plans?"

"While you were in the shower," Alice started to giggle and I shot her a death glare. "Oh come on Bella you can't be that mad at me. Deep down I'm sure you are even more excited now that you won't have to worry about Jasper or Emmett wanting to join you guys," she had me there.

"Fine I guess that does make me happy but that still doesn't mean you guys had to do it."

"Oh yes because it is such a drag to hang out with the guy I am crazy about," Alice rolled her eyes at me.

"Crazy about," Rose raised one of her eyebrows.

"Yes," Alice stuck her tongue out then went back to watching the TV.

We watched TV for a few hours, talking and laughing about different things. It was nice to just be lazy with my roommates and it was easy for me to relax around them. Every now and then I would check my phone for two reasons; the first to see what time it was and the second to make sure I didn't miss a call or text from Edward. I know that the second was stupid since I had it on ring but I still didn't want to risk it.

"What time are you going over to Edward's," Rose asked later not paying attention to the show any longer.

"He said I should come over around seven," only one hour and twenty-three minutes to go. "Is there any way I could borrow your car Rose, Edward said he would come pick me up but I don't want him to go out of his way for me."

"Sure, Emmett said he would come pick me up so I won't need it."

"Thanks," I pulled out my phone to text Edward letting him know that I wouldn't need a ride. I know he said I should let him know if I needed one but I was looking for any excuse to make contact with him.

Rose said I could use her car. See you at seven. -B

It wasn't even two minutes later when my phone went off letting me know I had a text.

Sounds good, can't wait. Don't eat before you come and bring your pajamas. –E

My face turned completely red after reading his text. He wanted me to bring my pajamas; did that mean I was spending the night at his place? Why else would he want me to bring them?

Okay Cullen, even though those are some odd requests I will do as I'm told. –B

You won't regret it I promise. –E

I couldn't help but smile a little because I knew he was right about that.

"Okay Bella," Alice turned to look at me, "I am fine with you wearing the same clothes over there but can we please do something to your hair and put a little makeup on you?" She whined and I knew I wouldn't be able to say no to her.

"Yeah and I could also use some help with something else," the only pajamas I had were old sweatpants and I didn't really feel like wearing them in front of Edward. "Edward said that I should bring pajamas tonight and I don't really know what I should bring with me," my face started to heat up again with the looks they were giving me.

"He what," Alice's eyes were huge and I thought they were going to fall out.

"He said I should bring some pajamas," I mumbled.

"After I just told you he wouldn't push you past your limits he asks you to bring your pajamas, I am going to have a talk with that little perv."

"Alice calm down I'm sure he doesn't mean anything by it," I tried to think of a logical reasoning but was coming up with nothing.

"Maybe he asked you to bring them incase it got late and you wanted to spend the night instead of driving back here," Rose suggested. It made perfect sense and now thinking about it I'm sure that is why he asked.

"That does sound like him," Alice and calmed down and was now back to normal. "Okay let's do your hair first then find you some cute pajamas to wear tonight," she jumped off the chair and pulled me down the hall with her.

Alice and Rose talked about what they wanted to do with my hair for a few minutes. After Alice whispered something to Rose they went to work. I never liked it when they whispered, it made me more nervous. It only took them a little over thirty minutes to do my hair and makeup. They ended up loosely curling my hair then putting it in pigtails. It looked nice with the clothes I had on and I was happy it wasn't anything too crazy. After they were done Rose went to her room looking for pajamas I could borrow and Alice started to look though her clothes.

I sat on Alice's bed and waited for what seemed like forever for them to find something. I didn't think it was going to be that hard since they both owned so many clothes but I guess I was wrong. Quickly Alice ran out of her room to Rose's before I could see what was in her hands. I was confused but didn't let it bother me too much, whatever they were doing was going to help me tonight. Just then I looked down at my phone and noticed I had five minutes before I had to leave, I really hoped they would find something fast or I would be stuck in my old sweats.

"Got it," Alice came back into her room holding a small bag out for me.

"Alice I asked for pajamas not a bag," I was completely confused now.

"The pajamas are in the bag silly," she rolled her eyes at me.

"So I don't get to try them on or see them before I leave?"

"Nope," Rose came in, "you have to get going." I grabbed the bag from Alice and was a little nervous as to what was in it but there was nothing I could do about it now.

"Here are my keys," Rose handed her car keys to me as I made my way to the door picking up my purse on the way. "Have fun tonight don't do anything we wouldn't," she wiggled her eyebrows at me and started to laugh.

"Yeah Bella have fun," Alice gave me a hug and then let me go.

"You guys too," I opened the door, "I'll see you later."

I made my way down to Rose's car just as Emmett and Jasper were walking up the stairs.

"Little sister," Emmett pulled me into a big hug.

"Hey brother bear," I hugged him back. "Hey Jasper," I greeted him once Emmett had put me back down.

"Hey Bella," he gave me a quick one armed hug.

"You off to our place," Emmett asked then looked down at the overnight bag I was holding. "What is that," he sounded a little upset and I wasn't sure what I was going to tell him.

"Nothing," my face started to blush giving me away.

"Give me your phone," he held his open hand in front of me.

"Huh?"

"Give me your phone," he said again. I pulled my phone out of my purse and gave it to him after a few seconds he gave it back. "Okay now you have my number, I want you to promise if Edward does anything out of line you will call me," his voice was serious.

"I promise," he really was a great brother for looking out for me.

"Okay good," he pulled me into another hug. "Have fun," he whispered then set me back down.

"You too," I called over my shoulder and I finally made my way out of the apartment.

The ride to Edward's was short and easy since Alice had explained it to me many times when she was doing my hair. I arrived outside of the place a few minutes after seven. I took a few deep breaths then got out of the car making my way up to the door. I only had to wait a few seconds after knocking until the door opened. As soon as my eyes met his my whole body relaxed.

"Hey," he gave me a big smile.

"Hi," I didn't know what else to say.

"Please come in," he waved me inside. As soon as I was in the house I was assaulted with the most delicious smell.

"Yum," my mouth watered. "Whatever that is smell amazing," I turned and gave him an even bigger smile.

"Thanks," he ran his hand though his hair. "It will be done in just a minute so why don't you come in and sit down at the table while I finish up. You can leave your bags on the couch if you want," he looked down at the bags in my hands giving me a small smile.

I did as I was told then made my way into the kitchen with him behind me. I took a seat at the table making sure I could watch everything that he was doing. I loved the way he moved around the kitchen, he looked like he belonged there. I wanted so badly to cook with him someday and I hoped that we would get the chance. After a few minutes he started to set the table.

"Is there anything I can do to help," I felt bad just sitting there while he was doing all the work.

"Nope, I just want you to sit right where you are," something about this man made my heart soar.

"That I can do," it was easy to be myself around him.

Soon the table was set, complete with candles and a small vase full of flowers. Maybe it was just me but this felt like a very romantic meal some may even call it a date. He placed a plate full of food in front of me and my mouth was watering even more now. The most delicious looking pasta sat in front of me with garlic bread on the side.

"Edward this looks amazing," I couldn't wait to taste it.

"Thanks," he sat down across from me. "To your first day as a college student," he raised his glass full of water and I did the same, clinking them together then taking a sip.

I brought some of the pasta to my mouth and took my first bite. It tasted heavenly, my eyes closed as I enjoyed the taste. I swallowed then went to get another bite, when I opened my eyes Edward was staring at me with his fork half way to his mouth. There was a look in his eyes I had never seen before.

"What," I was embarrassed. "Do I have something on my face?" Please God tell me I don't have sauce all over my face.

"No," his voice cracked a little but I decided to let it go.

The meal passed by fast, we talked about different things going on in our lives. I found out that he was going to school to become a doctor following in his father's foot steps. Not only was he handsome, a great cook, but he was also going to be a doctor…was there anything about this boy that was perfect?

When dinner was done he cleared the table, when I offered to help he told me just to stay where I was. He placed all of the dishes in the sink then let them soak.

"I'll do these later," he turned back to look at me. "You ready to watch a movie," I nodded my head giving him a small smile. "Okay why don't you go change into the pajamas you brought and I will get the living room ready."

"So that is why you had me bring them," it came out of my mouth before I had a chance to think.

He started to laugh at the small blush that was forming on my cheeks. "Yeah I thought we would be more comfortable watching movies in our pajamas, why else did you think I asked?" A sly smile was beginning to form on his face.

"No reason," there was no way I was going to tell him I hoped he wanted me to stay the night that would have been way too much information to share.

I got up from my chair and walked into the living room grabbing the bag on the way. I went to the upstairs bathroom not knowing where the other one was and feeling a little too embarrassed to ask Edward. Once there I opened the bag and pulled out the pajamas my roommates picked for me. I couldn't believe my eyes and I did a double check in the bag to make sure there wasn't something I was missing. But there was nothing left in the bad.

"I am going to kill Rose and Alice."

I know it is kind of a cliffhanger but you should be happy because I was going to stop way before this. Let me know what you think…
