Chapter 25

The "Date"

"Bella!" Dad yelled up the stairs. "Edward's here." Of course, he had to be ten minutes early. I wasn't ready yet.

"I'll be down in a minute" I yelled back. I grabbed my brush and started brushing it into a pony tail, but as usual it was being uncooperative. "UGH!"

"You ok in there?" Emmett asked from outside my door.

"Shut up!"

A good 15 or so minutes later I was finally ready, after I got my hair up I couldn't find the shoes I was forced to get. That's the last time they'll be organizing my closet. I couldn't find a single thing. I mean who organizes clothes alphabetically by designer?

"About time." dad said as I came downstairs. I glared at him. Edward took my hand and we headed outside.

"I thought you were trying to avoid me, you look really nice though."

"Sorry about that, your demon of a sister and her best friend decided it would be fun to reorganize my closet so I couldn't find anything." He laughed.

"It's ok. She's done that to me before to."

We continued talking until we pulled up in front of a tiny restaurant. It was new, only opened up a few weeks ago. I hadn't been there yet.

"Is this ok?" he asked. "If not we can go somewhere else."

"No its fine."

"Alright then." he got out and ran around the car to open my door.

"You know you don't have to do that right?"

"Yea, but I felt like it." I smiled and followed him inside.

We got our table and sat down. Our waiter was a bit weird. He was kinda hard to understand.

"What are you having?" Edward asked. I looked through my menu, there were so many different food choices.

"Umm.. I'm not sure. There's so much to choose from."

"I'm going to get the steak dinner" Edward said.

I looked through the menu again.

"I think I'm gonna get the grilled chicken."

The waiter came back with our drinks.

"Ready to order?" he asked in his crazy accent. I watched as his eyes glanced back and forth between the 2 of us.

"Yes, I'll have the steak dinner." Edward said. The waiter scribbled it down on his paper.

"I'll have the grilled chicken"

"Alright, I'll be back soon with your food." I watched as he walked off towards another table, then turned to Edward.

"He's weird" I whispered. He nodded.

Dinner went over well. We had a minor argument about dinner, but I gave up and let him pay when the group of elderly woman started staring.

"Now where to?" I asked.

"Well, we can go to a movie, or somewhere else." he said.

"Well, I'm not exactly in the movie mood, so what's this somewhere else you have in mind?" he smiled.

"you'll see." I glared at him. Ten minutes later we pulled into a parking lot. We were at the beach. It looked so different at night, the wind blew as I stepped out of the car. The air was cool and salty.

"Wow" I whispered staring out at the ocean. The ocean was black except for the white waves crashing in the distance and on the shore. They weren't huge, but they weren't small.

"it's like a completely different place at night." Edward said from my side. I nodded, then took off my shoes and followed him onto the beach.

We walked side by side along the shore, occasionally a wave would crash on our feet. The water was cold, I shivered every time it hit my feet. But other than that, it was decently warm.

"Are you cold?" Edward asked. I shook my head.

"No, I'm fine."

"ok, so…"

"So…"

"Um, Bella, um, well, uh, so what do you think about these rumors, I think they're starting to calm down." I don't think he knew what he was trying to say.

"Yea, barley anyone whispers when we walk by anymore."

"Yea, that's good." he said back. I glanced up at him. He looked confused or frustrated at something.

"Are you ok?" I asked. He shook his head

"I'm fine. Just.. Thinking."

"Alright, well I'm here if you need to talk." he smiled.

"I know."

We stayed on the beach a bit longer, we got home around 9.

"Hi dad."

"Bella, your on time." He almost sounded shocked.

"Um, yea dad, did you expect me to be late?"

"That's not important. Where are your shoes?" I looked down at my feet.

"Oh, I must've left them in Edward's car. I took them off while we were at the beach so they wouldn't get ruined." he nodded.

"Alright, well then, I'm going to get ready for bed. Goodnight." he went upstairs, I went into the living room and sat on the couch. Emmett looked over,

"Have a nice time?" I nodded, pulled my feet up under me, and pulled the blanket off the back of the couch over me. I pulled my hair down and watched the rest of the basketball game with Emmett.
