When we get back home I help Bella out of the truck and walk her inside. She beams when she says my condo and I know all the cleaning paid off. Alice was right; she's taking in every detail. I can tell. "This is amazing." She says, "I've never thought living in an condo or apartment complex could be so... extraordinary!"

"It feels secluded." I admit. "When I'm sitting on the balcony or when I'm doing dishes and it's dead silent."

"Really? My apartment is always so noisy. I hate it. I'm saving up for a better place. I want a house someday, not an apartment. A big house with kids and a husband to kiss goodnight. It sounds so perfect." She walks inside more and walks over to the living room while I go to the kitchen and turn on the pots. One has the spaghetti and meat sauce, the other is boiling water. I put lids on both the pots and walk into the living room. I place my hand on Bella's back as she examines a painting on the wall. It's abstract, kind of weird looking actually. Ma painted it for me so I love it.

Even if it is weird.

"My ma painted it." I tell her. "She has many artistic skills. I'm jealous."

"Me too!" Bella says and turns. My arm instantly drops while she's turning. She looks up at me with wide brown eyes and a smile on her face. I notice her bottom lip is a little bigger than the top and juts out the slightest. I bet they're very kissable. Maybe I'll find out.

She takes my hand and pulls me a step closer. "Show me around." She suggests. With her hand in mine, I give her a quick but thorough tour of my home. It's nothing special. Most walls are white as Alice always tells me. My room is a light grey with white crown moulding.

When I show her the bathroom her phone plays the song I switched it to and she laughs. "Can you read my mind? I love this song too!" She looks down at the text. "Uh, Angela. Already texting me wanting the details."

I laugh, "She's pretty nice."

"She can be annoying."

"So can my sister, trust me."

We both laugh.

"I hope you like spaghetti." I say as I lead her out of my room.

"I love pasta." Bella replies and joins me in the living room. We sit down on the couch, but I get up right after to get champagne. When I pour us both a glass, I hand Bella hers and sit down beside her. I leave about a foot of space between us.

"You appear to love a lot of things." I state.

"I enjoy life." She says with a sigh. "I just can't wait until I actually design something. I'm craving to, you know?"

"Alice is the exact same way as you." I tell her. "Speaking of Alice, she really wants to meet you again."

"We'll have to set that up." Bella responds with a soft smile. "She was always nice. Hyper, but nice."

"That sounds like her." I nod in agreement. "Here, let me go check on supper."

She says okay and I walk over the kitchen after I hand her the remote to the stero. I have a massive stereo; a new one that can hold multiple CDs and gets awesome reception. I put the noodles in the boiling water and stir the sauce before going back into the living room.

Music is play.

Country music.

I smile, "You never get tired of country music?"

"It's not like listening to the same song over and over agin." She replies with a shrug and starts to wiggle her hips. The sundress flows around her as she does a twirl. I take her hand and guide her into another spin. After she does one final turn, I pull her close with our interlocked hands and hold them by our hips. My other hand cups her cheek.

"I'm really glad you're home." I say softly. "I hardly know you, but I missed you like crazy. It's weird."

"I was beyond excited for our date, Edward. This is so much better than talking through a computer or through text message. I hope you ask me out again." She says joyfully with a smirk.

I lean down and press a kiss to her small forehead. "I was hoping on it. Would you like to go out with me again?"

"Do you even have to ask? I have had the best time with you. I've never been on such an amazing date!" Bella exclaims and taps her foot to the music. I give her another spin.

"Shit, the noodles." I say and let her hand go. I turn to walk into the kitchen, the song Something 'Bout a Truck playing throughout the house. I halt my step when Bella does something absolutely surprising.

She spanks me.

On the ass.

Good God.

I turn back to her and she winks at me. Noodles forgotten, I chase her.

I feel like a kid again.

She runs behind the couch and I am on the other side in a wide stance. She books it to the right and I chase her until I catch her. Laughing, I wrap my arms around her waist and spin us around twice. Her backs pressed against my chest and it feels too good to be true. Mike forgotten, noodles forgotten, I lean around her and kiss her on the cheek.

Is it okay to be kissing this much on the first date?

I mentally shrug.

It just feels right, okay?

"Go check the pasta!" She says between giggles and tries to untangle herself from my arms. She tucks some hair behind her ear, making her petite ears visible. I want to nibble on one for goodness sake. Instead I sigh and untangle myself from her. I instantly miss her warmth. She's definitely something a guy could get used to. This guy in particular.
