Anyways, Usually I'm always away every night. But not this week. So.. Who knows..? I could have a new chapter by tomorrow. Okay, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, anyway.
Anyway, have fun reading!

I hate Alice.

Seriously. She came to me this afternoon, saying she thought I'd need help getting ready for tonight. Yeah, it's anniversary day. Edward and I were officially together for one month. Sadly, not everyone was used to it by now. I sat at Edward and Emmett's table a lot these days, together with Alice. I don't know, normally brothers and sisters don't really interact at school, buy apparently the Cullens were this huge exception. They all got along fine with each other and each others friends. I thought this was funny, like they were all great friends in stead of relatives. Anyway, I've noticed that a lot of Edward's friends look at me weirdly. Like I'm this huge purple dragon with yellow stripes playing the tuba. No, I'm serious. Actually, every friend of Edward looked at me like that, except for Alice and Emmett of course, but they didn't count. They were his brother and sister for crying out loud.

Anyway, I was saying that Alice came over. She brought her make-up bag and loads of clothes. I admit, I had a tiny panic attack right then and there. She had rolled her eyes and told me I shouldn't be silly. And she said that of course she was going to help me, what did I expect? But to tell the truth, I kind of expected I was able to dress myself. Apparently, that was not the case. Too bad.

So there I was, sitting on a chair in the kitchen, with Alice's hands in my hair, brushing it, pulling it up and then letting it fall down again, as if she didn't know what to do with it.

"Bella, you have amazing hair. I'm seriously really jealous right now. No wonder Edward likes you, he's probably all over your hair, isn't he?" Yeah, right. Like I was going to tell his sister where his hands were all the time. Yeah, they were in my hair a lot, he was a gentleman and all. But let me tell you, there were times he wasn't all that gentleman-like.

No relax, we haven't done anything yet. I'm not that kind of girl.

"Haha Alice. Stop trying, I'm not telling you anything about me and Edward. But thanks for the compliment anyway. I know you love it to make me blush, so I'll just keep thinking you said that in order to make me blush." Alice rolled her eyes at my comment. She hated how I couldn't accept a compliment. Well, at least she said I couldn't. And Edward totally agreed with her. But hey, I could take a compliment. At least, if the compliment wasn't about me, but about my car or something. Maybe my room. That kind of stuff.

Okay, so maybe I couldn't take a compliment, who cares?

"Bella don't be stupid." Alice said. But how could I help being what I was? I couldn't fight my nature.

"Alice, I don't think this is all necessary. Come on, you don't have to do my hair, make-up AND dress me? Won't one of those options be enough?" Alice gave me a look that suggested I should be locked up in an institute.

"Of course this is all necessary Bella! You do want him to drop down in shock when he sees how absolutely breath taking gorgeous you are?"

"Ehm, not really Alice. I mean, I need him for our date.." Alice laughed at my remark.

"Okay, fine." She said. "But I do need to finish all this. It won't take long anymore."

Apparently, when Alice says that it won't take long anymore, it still takes about two hours. But I had to give her this: I did look, I don't even dare to THINK it, beautiful. I didn't even look like me anymore. That's probably why, though.

"Okay Alice, you did the trick. I'm done, and yes, I look good. Now, are we done playing dress up?" Alice gave me a smile and nodded.

"Wow Bella. I mean, I knew you were gorgeous, but with a little help from me, you know since you don't dare to wear designer outfits, you can look like a supermodel. But not one of those very skinny arrogant you-know-whats. You look like, I don't know, you just look like you stepped from a magazine cover. Like you're not real…" I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry Alice, I don't think you're speaking the truth." Alice just shook her head and sighed. I looked at the clock, Edward should be here in ten minutes. I felt a little nervous now, I had to admit. This was the first time I've ever had something to celebrate.. with a guy. And for the first real boyfriend I ever had, I don't think I did a particular bad job. Actually, I think I did a fantastic job finding a guy. I found one even Jessica can't have. I giggled a little bit but then immediately wished I hadn't. Alice gave me a strange look. Apparently, I didn't giggle a lot.

"Bella, he's here!" Alice said. She took my breath away. I could feel the nerves in my stomach now.

"Oh my, Alice, I don't think I can do this! No, you have to tell him I can't go. You open the door and tell him I'm sick, or something!"

"Bella, relax, please. It's not a big deal. You're just going out with him. Now please, take a deep breath and open the door. He's ringed the bell four times now.." I sighed, took a deep breath and walked to the door.

When I opened it, I was struck by how beautiful Edward looked tonight. I hadn't seen anything like it before in my life. No wonder Jessica was jealous of me. Edward looked amazing.

"Hi." I managed to say by some miracle. He smiled at me, now I really couldn't breathe.

"Hi yourself." He answered my greeting. "Wow Bella, you look stunning tonight." I felt the blood flood to my cheeks.

"Thanks." I said. "You look great too." He laughed a little at my comment. Did something funny happen? I didn't know, but to be honest, I didn't really care either.

"Are you ready to go?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"Let's go then." He took my hand and led me to the car where he opened my door for me. I lifted my blue satin dress so I could get in as gracefully as I could. I did not succeed. I stumbled in the car, nearly tripping over my dress. I heard Edward chuckle quietly behind me and I could feel myself blush again.

When he was in the car too, he looked at me again, smiled and turned on the car.

"Let's go." He said, still looking at me before he drove off.

"Where are we going, actually?" I asked him, I didn't have the faintest idea. I had no idea what he had planned for us. I didn't even dare to guess.

"I'm not going to tell you. That'd ruin the surprise." I rolled my eyes. I wanted to know! Though I knew I probably liked it even better as a surprise.

"Have I mentioned 'happy anniversary'?" Edward asked me. I laughed a little and smiled.

"No actually, you haven't. Happy anniversary to you, too." He gave me a bright smile.

"Thanks."

We drove in silence, though it wasn't an awkward silence. Sometimes I glanced at him, he looked so handsome, sitting there in his suit. After five minutes, his hand wandered of to my knee. He gave me a tiny squeeze in my leg, though he didn't look at me. I placed my hand over his, so he would have to keep his hand there.

"We're here." Edward said. I smiled and looked through the window, but I couldn't see anything. It was way too dark.

"Edward, why aren't there any lights?" I asked carefully. Edward got out of the car and walked around to open my door. I got out too and looked around. "Edward, why are we in the middle of nowhere?" I asked him again.

"Don't worry love, we just have to walk a tiny bit. Just trust me." I looked in his eyes.

"Walk? For how long? Edward, I'm wearing high heels." Edward chuckled a little. And looked at my feet as if that gave him a lot to think about.

"Hmm, you're totally right. Well, we're going to have to fix that, now don't we?" I didn't exactly know what he meant, until he scooped me up and held me in his arms.

I let out a tiny scream, not very loud though. "Edward! What are you doing?!" I asked, maybe sounding a little mad. I wasn't mad, though. I was just very scared.

"Well, you said you couldn't walk on those high heels. So I'm not letting you walk on those high heels." He started walking toward the trees.

"Edward, come on, I can walk for myself. Put me down."

"No." He simply replied. I sighed and after struggling a little, I gave up. He was just too strong. I wondered what he did to have those strong arms. Man, how many times a week did this guy work out? I mean, I was his girlfriend, wasn't I supposed to know how strong he was? How many times he worked out? Okay, I admit, I wasn't supposed to know, but I was curious.

"Edward? Where are we going?" I asked. He was walking for a while now. I was amazed he was still able to lift me.

"You'll see." Was his amazing diplomatic answer.

"Edward! You're driving me crazy!" I put my pouty face on, but it didn't work on him. In fact, he said "Ha!" And started laughing a bit. Okay, I should never put my pouty face on again.

"You're accusing me of driving you crazy? Don't you think that kind of funny?" He asked me with a bright smile on his face.

I looked at him with an asking look. "What do you mean?" I waited for an explanation while he walked.

"You mean the fact that you're constantly driving me crazy? Smiling at me with that brilliant smile of yours, looking at me with the most beautiful eyes here on earth. When your hand is in my hair, just to tease me. I'll tell you, you don't have to do much to drive me crazy, Bella."

I looked him in the eyes, not being able to come up with anything to say. "Edward.. I-I don't really know what to say.." My cheeks were hot, I was blushing like crazy, having Edward say these words to me. "Thanks." I added. And we both laughed a little. Suddenly Edward stopped walking. His head came closer to mine, his lips now inches away from my lips.

We looked each other in the eyes. His eyes were so beautiful, and by some miracle, they were fixating on mine. Every time I'm with Edward I feel the luckiest girl on earth. Sometimes I can't even blame all the girls for hating me. Edward was just… perfect.

Edward's lips were now practically against mine. I was waiting for his lips to press against mine.

"We're here." Edward said. I sighed. Okay, no kissing. For now....

I know I'm mean. Stopping it Right There. Anyway, I could have an update soon.. I just feel more like writing when I get loads of reviews.. Hihi. Yes, I'm bribing you all. Mwuahaha. I'm just kidding guys. Like I said above, since I hurt my ankle, which sucks big time, I now have loads of free time to write a new chapter. So I hope I'll have it soon. :)
As usual; Tell me what you think!

Xx me.
