A/N: Thanks for all the suggestions. I seriously had a writer's block. My recent trip today has inspired me. I'm not too sure how good this chapter will be but I hope you like it. I'm kind of rushed for time. I have a competition to go to as well as a Cruz. I leave Monday so I don't know when the next time is I will be able to update after Sunday. I'm hoping I'll find time. Please forgive me…

Chapter 14
"Bella, in order for you and me both to be happy tonight, I don't want you to say a word about the money. It really doesn't cost that much. We're borrowing everything from some friends." Edward pleaded with me, if it would make him happy.
"Fine." I was doing this for him. I owed him for waiting on me.
He smiled his crooked grin. "Thanks Bella." He kissed my cheek and my skin tingled.
I peered back out the window and recognized we were on our way to Seattle. I decided for once to let it be a surprise. Oh whom was I kidding?
"So, where are we going?" I tried to sound nonchalant.
"Oh, silly Bella. You know it's a surprise!" I laughed.
I was going to make him tell me. I picked up his hand and kissed it. He looked at me through his peripheral vision.
"What are you doing?" His breath was unusually heavy.
"Oh nothing." I smiled innocently.
"Well stop it." I pouted and decided to give him a taste of his medicine.
I took off my heels and put them in my hand. I awkwardly stood in the seat and stepped over the console into the back seat.
"Bella? What are you doing?" I ignored him and settled in the seat looking out into the black night.
He knew what I was doing. He tried to ignore my but he kept looking through the rearview mirror. Finally he gave in. He huffed and pulled over on the side of the road.
"Bella?" I didn't answer him. "I'm sorry Bella. I just want it to be a surprise." I still didn't answer him. He gave up and climbed over the seat pulling me into his lap. I looked away and he pulled my chin to his face. He kissed my nose and I tried not to laugh.
"What are you doing?" My lips met his in a chaste kiss.
"I'm trying to make you happy." He rolled his eyes and gave me his crooked grin.
"Well I don't see how I'm going to figure out anytime soon. You better get the car where were going." He laughed at me and I got up to crawl back to the front seat.
He grabbed my waist and pulled me back on his lap. "Hold on missy, where do you think you're going?" I laughed at him and laid my head on his shoulder.
"I'm going to drive." He laughed again and then I got back up crawling up to the front seat.
"You don't know where you're going though." I sighed.
"Yes, that is true. If you were to tell me where we're going it would be easier.
He moved me to the passenger's seat and took his place next to me. "Nice try. Let's go."
I didn't ask any more questions on the way there. I held Edward's hand and he tapped his finger to the song playing on the radio. Finally we pulled up to a small docking place for boats. The streetlights gave it a quaint feeling. Edward stepped out of the car and came around to open my door.
"Right this way love." I smiled at him and even blushed a little. I hadn't realized how much I missed him just being there.
He led me up the little dock and we stopped at a small yacht. That is if yachts can be small. He helped me onto the deck and a young man and woman greeted us.
"Hello Niles." Edward nodded to the man. He took the woman's hand and placed a kiss on it, always the gentleman. "And his lovely wife Rebecca."
She blushed. "It's nice to see you again Edward. How are Esme and Carlisle?" Niles was very polite.
"Just the same as always. This is my girlfriend Bella." Rebecca gave me a once over. Her face seemed almost a grimace.
"Hello Bella." Niles took my hand and kissed it. "Well it was nice meeting you again. The captain and the dinner crew will be assisting to your needs."
"Thank you Niles." He nodded and he led Rebecca off the boat. "Old friends of the family." He whispered in my ear.
Once they were out of sight my body seemed to relax. Edward laughed at me and pulled me toward the bow of the boat. My lullaby played softly in the background. We walked up the small steps and he led me around the corner. Rose pedals lined the pathway. There was a small table set up with a silver covered plate on one side. The boat started moving as soon as we sat down.
Edward sat across from me and lifted the plate. "For you my love."
I giggled as I saw what sat in front of me. "Mushroom Ravioli?"
"Well I remembered you liked it." I laughed.
He watched me while I ate. I wondered what I did to deserve someone like him. He was perfect. I knew he had something big planned for the evening but why spoil it? It couldn't be that big since he only had a couple of hours to plan. He stared at me mischievously.
I finished eating and a middle-aged woman came out to take my plate. Shortly after an older man brought me a delicious looking fudge brownie. I used my clean fork to dig in. Edward watched my eyes light up with excitement. He just laughed and looked at it disgusted.
"Oh, what's wrong Edward?" I asked innocently. "Does the big bad chocolate scare you?"
He laughed. "No, it looks like you enjoy it a lot."
I nodded and finished the last bit of the brownie. The same woman came and took the plate away. When she had slipped away once again. Edward held his hand out and pulled me to my feet.
"Now love, let's start the main even of out evening." He looked like a kid in a candy shop.
I followed him up yet another flight of stairs to the top of the boat. There was a small couch placed right at the edge of the awning. He took my hand and led me to the couch. He sat down and I curled up next to him. The moon reflected off the water. It was beautiful.
"So, what's the main event?" I'm sure curiosity rang throughout my voice.
He laughed. "You do know that curiosity killed the cat don't you?"
"Yes, but I'm not a cat." He petted my arm.
"Oh, really? All this time and I thought you were a cat." I kissed his nose.
"Meow!" He laughed and pulled me closer to his side. I noticed we were nowhere near shore now.
His hand covered my eyes. "Are you ready?" I nodded vigorously. "Okay."
I heard a loud bang and I jumped into Edward as his hand lifted from my eyes.
A/N: Yes I'm evil. Tell me something I don't know. Sorry I had to cut this chapter short. It was necessary if I want to get the next chapter of "The Last Night" out before I go to my friend's house. I'm going to try to hurry with this story.
Please review.
