Chapter 21

First Date

BPOV

Friday.

6 pm.

Ok, I promised myself I won't cry. And I'll try my very best not to. Tomorrow is my graduation and to be perfectly be honest, I'm not that happy. Even though I will finally graduate with an honor, I'm still not that happy because I just hate Edward like right now. I know it's hilarious because I totally love him like evah but I just don't know why he did that. I trusted him.

Suddenly, someone knocked at my door. I opened it and to my surprise it is my sister Alice. I hugged her and let her come inside my room.

"Hey! It's too late for you to go here" She ignored me.

"So Bella, GONGRATULATIONS!" She said the word congrats as the same time someone came in my room. It was Rose, Jazz, Me and….I waited for seconds but no Edward. Then I remembered he's busy practicing for their upcoming game tomorrow.

"Waiting for Ed?" Rose said.

"No. Why should I?" I tried to lie but I can totally see it didn't work.

"Bella, we know what happened. And we can totally say he did not cheating on you"

"Who says he did?"

"You" All four of them said. They sounded like I'm crazy.

"I did not said that. I told him to prove he's not cheating. But that doesn't mean I believed his cheating on me"

"Did you know it was Tanya?" Jazz said. Tanya? Wait what?

"Even if it was Tanya, how can Ed let her get into his phone"

"He's PRACTICING!" They shouted.

"Hey hey, why are you guys defending him? If he didn't do anything then he must be the one I'm talking to"

They got silent then stood up.

"I gotta go" Both Jazz and Em said. They just blurted out of my room.

"Bella, we just wanted to tell you that we don't want you and ed be like this. You two have been through a lot worse. Do you know how hard it was for him to prove it was Tanya? What do you want him to do? Drag Tanya here to say it to you?"

I didn't answered.

"Ok Bella. Just think about what we said."

"Yeah ok.."

"Alice, where are you all staying for the night?"

"At a hotel here"

"Oh ok…be safe"

"You too"

I suddenly thought about that. Yeah, how can Edward prove that to me? If it was Tanya…crap. I'm such a dumb girl being as jealous as always. But that won't make me forgive him that easily…My mind is aching now. What am I going to believe? My friends and him or….what I believed?

I called his phone but it was out of reach. I dialed his phone on his dorm and at last, someone answered.

"Yes?" I felt like my whole jaw fell down. It was a girl's voice.

I didn't even speak because I knew it was Tanya.

I really can't believe this. A girl on his room…I don't any explanations coming from Edward. Right now, I can't feel anything about him but anger.

A knock interrupt my thoughts. Maybe Rose or Al forgot something.

When I opened the door it, I got surprised. It was Edward.

"Bella"

I didn't answer. I am too much angry to speak.

EPOV

"Bella" I said but she didn't answered.

She sat at her bed and looked at me, emotionless. She's not crying or anything.

She didn't answer me so I thought maybe she's still angry.

"Bella, it's not what you think"

Still no response. She's just looking at me, straight to my eyes. I don't like this.

"Bella, listen. She opened my bag and I didn't know it. I'm busy practicing"

No answer. Hell, this is the first time she acted like this on our fights.

"Bella…I will never cheat on you"

She stood up and went in front of me.

"Well I think you just did" Her voice cold.

"What your thinking is wrong" I told her.

"Yeah right. I knew I'm always wrong and you're always right" She said to me.

"I didn't mean like that Bella"

"Why can't you just say the truth to me? If you wanted her, then pick her. You don't have to worry about me. You don't have to lie. You don't have to pretend"

"Pretend what?"

"Pretend that you love me"

"I am not pretending nor lying. I did everything I can Bella to be with you. Do you think all of that is a joke? I love you"

"STOP SAYING THAT!" She shouted. But what made me scared is her face. She's very angry. No tears coming from her eyes, this is not Bella.

"Why can you just believe me? I already told you the truth!"

"Because I tried and tried and tried to believe you Edward. Now everything is all cleared up. You and Tanya have something…I can totally say it. Why she hurt me the first day we got close, why she's with you when you're at the hospital, you keep on bubbling about her following you at the phone..Don't you think I got irritated that everything we talked about involves Tanya? Last night she had your phone and now she answered your phone from your room! What do you want me to think? I'm not so stupid like you think. Just let me go, if you want Tanya"

"Bella that will never happen! She's following me! WE DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP! What phone from my room?"

"Don't lie to me. I just called and she answered it"

"I am here Bella! HERE!"

"Then why is she on your room?"

"I don't know! Bella, believe me please!"

She didn't answer and I hugged her but she didn't make any response. She didn't push me or hug me back.

"Just tell me if you don't want me anymore" She told me…with cold flat voice.

"I always want you"

That's the time she cried.

"I'm so tired Edward. I want to believe but I heard what I have to"

I hold her face to see her expression, her eyes.

"We keep on fighting but it's nothing to me Bella…nothing. All I want is you. Only you"

Tears still came down from her eyes…I wipe it with my hand and leaned my forehead to hers..

"You know I don't feel anything about Tanya. She's the one following me. I'm really sorry if all this time you think I'm cheating on you but even if you ask the annoying-four, they'll tell you the truth"

"Yeah I heard"

"And please, don't change your feeling towards me. Because I don't. I will always love you"

"I won't"

"Bella can you forgive me for hurting you so much?"

"Look I already forgave you...I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. I should have known she'll do it. I'm very stupid-" I immediately cut her off. I can't make her blame herself so much.

"Shh your not. Don't blame yourself. Its normal for my fiancée to be jealous especially when she heard another girl's voice from the her fiancé's phone"

She laughed. "Yeah…right"

"I promise I will not hurt you again. Thank you Bella for forgiving me"

"And another one, if she will make us fight again, I will gonna hurt her. I don't think I'm going to hold my temper once she did something again"

She's really incredible. I've never heard of a girl forgive her fiancée just like that. She always did that to me. I just laughed at her when she said she's going to hurt Tanya.

"Bella do you mind me taking you to a dinner tonight?"

"Like a date?"

"Yes, funny to say…it's our first date"

"Hahaha…Ok"

When we went outside, Bella got surprised at a brand new car she saw. She raised her eyebrows to me.

"I didn't want my fiancée to walk on our first date…besides I'm a prince. I can afford anything" I smiled and she just looked at me like I'm insane.

"And your going to leave it here with who? I mean once you came back on England"

"I have a cousin here named Jeremy. I think he'll be happy to have this. It's his birthday next week"

"What a lucky cousin" She mumbled.

"I'm luckier"

"Why's that?"

"Because I have you" She blushed then laughed.

"Ok If you wanna be there before I get sleepy or hungry…you should start driving now"

I drove smiling. Yeah maybe I looked insane but I just can't believe we're back to us again. Both happy I mean.

I stopped at a restaurant Bella should always hear of. Not because people are always here but because celebrities or rich people are the only one who can afford eating here. I've seen it on a magazine at the airplane before I got here at NYC.

I held Bella's hand as we went inside. Only three couples were eating here, and they're about to finish. The waitress smiled and led us to a table for two.

We ordered before she started speaking.

"You know I miss eating at a restaurants like this. I never had time before, Thank you"

"No problem"

The food was delicious. Honestly, I can't wait for her to finish her food. I've been planning this moment for a month.

BPOV

After me being so dumb and stupid, I finally realized Edward really loves me and he can't afford to cheat on me. I know that idea is impossible for a prince like him but what he did today makes my heart float. He went here just to talk to me…some guys won't do that.

Hmm…I'm still nervous about this dinner. I know this is a simple date but I just don't want something bad that will ruin our first date. STOP FREAKING OUT Bella! Just finish your food and don't act like you're not a princess.

After a few seconds, Couples went outside just as i finished my food. I looked at my watch and saw it was already 8:00 pm. I looked up at Edward who smiled at me.

"What?" I asked him but he didn't answer. Instead, he held my hand and put a small box. I looked at him then I suddenly realized what was inside it.

"Is it?" That's all I can say…I'm so speechless right now.

"Bella, I know you're my fiancée since we were born or maybe before it and I just thought that maybe I should give you this"

"But Edward-" He cut me off and told me "Bella, It's just a promise ring….a promise that I will never replace you in my heart...And that I'll marry you. Also it represents that you're my fiancée" He smiled and in that moment tears just came down at my eyes. He opened the box and a shining ring was all I saw.

"Edward is this the ring I always wanted? How…How did you know?"

"I went to ask for some advice from Alice. She told me about this"

"But Edward…It costs too much, you should have spend that money for our wedding ring"

"Bella, don't worry about how much it costs. I'm a prince remember?" He whispered.

"Yeah yeah, I just can't believe you brought it"

"Bella? Can you accept this?" I smiled and just as I was about to answer, someone from my back shouted.

"BELLA DON'T!" I looked to see who it was and to my surprise it was that villain Tanya.

Edward saw it and I saw him about to went and maybe…just maybe punch her. I quickly stood up and stopped him. "Ed, don't" I whispered then looked at Tanya.

"Do you really have to go here just to follow my fiancé?" Once I said that, Tanya froze. Guess she really didn't have any idea.

"WHAT? LIAR!" She shouted.

"Tanya, this is a first class restaurant. And I'm right here, you don't have to shout" I smiled at her, a devilish smile.

"No way Bella! He loves me and I love him back! There's no way an EDWARD will fall in love with a girl like you" Tanya told me angrily.

"You bitc-" Edward spoke but I cut him off by a simple "Shh"

He just looked at me then obeyed.

"Tanya…just go away and leave us alone or else"

"Or else what? JUST SAY IT BELLA! YOU'RE AFRAID I'M GOING TO STEAL EDWARD FROM YOU! You stole him from me! Ever since, he was meant for me!"

"Yuck Tanya…really eww" I got my bag then held Edward's hand. I went to the exit to go away from this annoying little girl.

"I'm still talking to you!" Suddenly she pulled my hair. That just makes me fall backwards. Edward is really mad right now, never saw him like that. Like earlier, He really wanted to hit Tanya. Edward helped me get up and was about to go back to Tanya but I run towards her and pulled her hair too. She looked at me looking like hell and I just slapped her. Yeah I did.

"That was for the thing you did on me on the cafeteria back on LA"

Then I slapped her again, "And that was for me and Edward's fights because of you"

And she thought I was going to slap her again, No way. I kicked her stomach using my knee.

"THAT WAS FOR PULLING MY HAIR AND FOR RUINING MY FIRST OFFICIAL DATE WITH EDWARD!" I am very angry with her but Edward stopped me.

"Let's go Bella"

Edward was now holding my bag and led the way through the car. I even heard Tanya shouted "I will sue both of you! ARGH!"

I threw my bad at Edward's car but didn't went to sit inside.

"Bella?" Edward asked but I didn't answer. I'm too much angry to speak.

He went beside me and waited for a few seconds before he spoke again.

"Are you still angry?"

"She's a bitch Edward! I hate her! How can she ruin our first date?"

"I know. This is my fault-"

"Can you please stop blaming yourself Edward? It's not helping me! Just shut up!"

"Ok, sorry" He sounded very sad.

"Hey…hey! I didn't meant what I said. I'm sorry! I was just so angry!" I hugged him and I felt his arms wrapped around my waist.

"No worries" But he is still upset. I know it.

I kissed him and in that moment, I knew he's not sad anymore and I'm not angry too.

"I'm really sorry, can you forgive me?" I asked him with puppy eyes.

"Only in one condition"

"What's that?" He smiled and get something from his pocket.

"You forgot to wear this"

"Ahaha yeah"

He slide the ring to my finger and it just suits perfectly.

"Thanks" I reached to my toes and kissed him.

"I love this…your so sweet" He smiled.

"Ahaha you too bunny!"

"Bunny? Hahaha, come on. You should sleep early, graduation tomorrow remember?"

"Oh yes"

When we reached my dorm, he walked me to my door.

He hugged me tightly and whispered to my ear "Goodnight. Sweet Dreams, I love you"

He gave me a goodnight kiss and I replied "You too. Love you too, Take care"

"I'll be here with Em and the rest of them"

"Ok, Bye"

"Bye" He smiled and went away.

I closed my door then ran to my bed. I shouted, good thing I'm using my pillow as a cover on my face. He might hear me.

Can't believe what happened tonight! I really love him! No doubt.

OK! PLEASE REVIEW!
