"You're what?" I asked in disbelief, but all he did was smirk at me and clse his door. I fumbled with the seatbelt, and then hurried to get out of the car. When I finnaly managed to get out, he was already waiting for me on the sidewalk.

He motioned towards Jessica and Angela,"You better stop them, before you lose site of them." Looking over I saw they were walking away rom Jessicas truck. "I don't want to have to track them down as I did you...Then again I could be 'looking' for them, yet somehow make my way back to that warehouse." he announced, keeping eye contact with me.

I shivered at the threat in his voice at the last part, turning I looked after Jessica and Angela. Cupping my hands around my mouth I yelled, "Jess! Angela!"

Both jumped, and turned around. When they saw me they ran over, not noticeing who was standing behind me. "Where have you been? We've been waiting here for an hour and-" Jess trailed off as she then noticed that Edward Cullen was standing with me.

The both looked at eachother, Jessica then looking at me suspiciously.

"I got lost," I admitted sheeplishly. "Edward found me and brought me here." I gestured towards him, he nodded his head at the two girls.

"Would it be alright if I joined you guys for dinner?" he askedd in his irresistibly, silken voice. By the looks on Jessica and Angelas faces, he had never lured them like this before.

"Ah...," Jessica breathed.

"Er..actually, Bella we already ate while we were waiting for you to show up...sorry." Angela confessed rather quickly.

Nodding my head I responded, "That's alright, I'm not all that hungry anyways."

"I think you should eat something." Edward's voice was low, but full of authority. Glancing at Jessica he asked a bit louder, "You don't mind that I drive her home. That way you don't have to wait for her."

Jessica looked at me, then back to Edward. By the looks on her face she was as if she were trying to put a puzzle together. "Uh...okay, that shouldn't be a problem, I guess... She started to bite on her lower lip, looking back at me to see what I wanted to do. Winking at her I gave her a small smile. I wanted nothing more than to be alone with my savior. There were somethings I wanted to ask him, that I definetly did not want Jessica and Angela to hear.

"Alrighty then..uh..I guess we'll see you guys tommorow." Announced Angela faster then Jessica could say anything. Grabbing her friends hand she pulled her towards Jessicas truck. After Angela got into the passenger side, Jessica waved at me, I waved back. The I waited till they pulled away, till I turned to look at Edward.

He swept his hand towards the restaurant, smirkign slightly. Folding my arms across my chest I stayed firmly where I stood. "Honestly though, I'm not hungry." I insisted, tilting my head slightly to the side, trying to read his face.

He didn't say anything, just smirked even more then he was, if thats even possible, before walking to the door and holding it open for me. Looking back at me he held an obstinate expression on his face, telling me that, that conversation was over. I sighed stubburnly before making my way towards the door, passing him, and going inside.

There was very few people inside, then again it was the off-season in Port Angeles. A woman walked up to us. By the looks of it she was the host, and by the look in her eyes she had only one thing on her mind. Edward. She welcomed us...well actually she wwelcomed Edward. She didn't even register that I was standing right there. But what surprised me, was that it botherd me. Not the fact that she was practically ignoring me, but the fact that she was Edward out.

"Can we get a table for two?" Edwards voice was alluring, if he did it on purpose or not, who knows. But it did attract the host's attention. Which caused her to look at me, her eyes quickly scanning over me. The courner of her lips twitched, looking satisfied by what she saw. Probably satisfied more by the distance between Edward and I.

Turning she motioned us to follow her. We did, Edward walking a foot ahead of me. The host, I noticed, kept trying to catch Edwards attention byt looking over her shoulder and smiling, or swaying her hips more to the side. Of course, like when we first met her not that long ago, it bothered me.

She led us to the more packed area of the restaurant. As she was placing the menues onto the table, and I was about to sit down, Edward spoke up,"Could we perhaps have something a little more...private?"

I have never seen a person refuse a table before, and by the look on the host's face, she'd never been asked.

"Sure...I guess. Please follow me me." She sounded as confused and surprised as I was. She turned and led us around a courner to a small ring of booths, all of which un-occupied. "How's this?"

"Perfect, thank you." Edward flashed his gleaming smile, which put the host into a sort of daze. I rolled my eyes.

What felt like a minute later, the host finnaly blinked and then slightly shook her head. "Your server should be out momentarily." Unsteadily, she walked back around the courner.

"You really shouldn't do that to people you know. It isn't all that fair to them." I criticized as I slipped into one of the un-occupied booths.

"Do what?" he asked as he sat across from me.

"Dazzle people like that. I bet you she's hyperventalating in the kitchen right now." I responded, picking up the menu, only to place it back down onto the table.

He looked at me confused, one of his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Oh please Edward," I sighed. "You can't tell me that you never noticed the wasy you effect people."

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at me with curious eyes. "I dazzle people?"

I was ready to hit him the the menu. "Not everybody gets their way like that. And the way people start to act around you somtimes, I'm amazed your so oblivious to it."

It didn't look like he had heard my questions, instead he leaned forward and asked, "Do I dazzle you?"

Without missing a beat I admitted, "Frequently."

Our server then arrived, her face glowing. 'The hostess deifinetly told her about Edward.' I thought. She pulled a strand of black hair behind her ear and smiled with unnecessary warmth. I rolled me eyes like I did with the hostess.

Smiling at Edward she said, "Hi, I'm Amber, I'll be your server tonight. Can I get you something to drink while you try and decide what you want to eat?" She was pretty much only talking to Edward almost as if I wasn't even there.

He glanced away from the waitress and back at me.

"I guess I'll have a coke?" I stated quietly, keeping eye contact with him.

"Two cokes will be fine, thanks," he said.

"Okay then I'll be right back with your drinks." she assured him once again sending him another unnecessary smile, which he didn't see. His eyes were still on me.

When the girl left I asked, "What?"

Keeping his eyes on me, not blinking once he responded with a question of his own, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm alright." I replied, slightly surprised by his intensity.

"Are you sure? You don't feel dizzy, sick, cold...?"

Raising my eyebrows I asked, "Should I be?" My puzzled tone pulled a chuckle from him.

"Truthfully, I'm actaully waiting for you to go into shock." His face twisted up into his perfect crooked smile.

"Shock? I highly doubt that will happen," I announced once I could breath again. 'Damn his ablility to take my breath away. And just by smiling!' I thought before saying outloud, "I've always been very good at repressing unpleasant things, except blood."

"Just in the same, it will make me feel better once you get some food and sugar in you." Right after he said that, the waitress returned with our drinks and a basket of breadsticks. Of course when she placed all of it onto the table, her back was facing me, as she tried to catch Edwards eye.

"Have you chosen what you would like to eat?" she directed the question, once again, to Edward, who still had his eyes on me.

"Have you deicded Bella?" The girl slowly turned towards me, not so pleased about removing her eyes from Edward.

"Oh...um..," picking up the menu, I choose the first thing that caught my eye. "I think I'll go with the mushroom ravioli please."

"And you?" She quickly turned back towards Edward once I gave her my order.. Sending him another one of her smiles.

"Nothing for me, thanks," he said, lifting his hand slightly. Of course he wasn't going to eat anything. I don't think I've ever seen him eat lunch at school.

"Well let me know if you change your mind." The coy smile remained on her face, but he still didn't so much as glance at her. Looking up at her through the courner of my eye, I noticed she looked quite unsatisfied when she turned to leave.

Pushing my drink closer to me, Edward softly ordered, "Drink."

Obediently, I sipped at the soda, before drinking deeply. Surprising myself at how thirsty I was. I swallowed the last mouthfull, then placed the glass back onto the table. Sighing slightly, still a little thirtsy. Edward took the empty glass and replced it with his full one.

I muttered a 'thanks', and downed all of it, then I placed it back down onto the table as I swallowed my last mouthfull. A shiver coursed its way through me as the icy soda radiated from my chest.

Edward wacthed the goosebumps form on my arms as he asked, "Are you cold?"

I shook my head. "It's just from the Coke," I excplained, shivering slightly again.

"Where's your jacket? Didn't you bring one with you?" His voice was disaproving.

Glancing over at the empty spot beside me i responded, "Yah, I do have one. It's just in Jessicas car."

I glanced back up at him when I heard a quiet shuffle. Edward was shrugging out of his jacket. As he did so I realized that I never really looked at what he wore. Not just now, but even when I had first met him. I was always looking at his face or his eyes. Focusing my attention, I quickly looked him over. He was removing a leather jacket, which was a light beige colour. Under that he wore a turtleneck sweater, which was ivory, and fit him nice and snug. Showing off how muscular his chest was under it.

My observation was interupted whne he handed me the jacket.

"Thank you," I smiled, as I slid my arms into the sleeves. The first thing I noticed about it it was, that it was cold. It was as if he hadn't even been wearing it. Once again I shivered, but only slightly. Then I notced that it smelled wonderful. Trying to identify the amazingly wonder full scent, I inhaled deeply. Then, I fixed the sleeves since they went over my hands. I pushed them back a few inches, then rolled them once so that it wouldn't roll back down over-top of my now free hands.

"The colour of your sweater, that blue, goes lovely with your skin," he complimented. It took me surprise, and I looked down at my hands and blushed.

He psuhed the basket of breadsticks closer to me as he did the two Colas.

"Edward, I told you, I'm not going into shock." I protested.

"You should be after what happend at the warehouse. A normal person would have been in shock. You don't even look shaken about it or anything." He exclaimed, his voice very unsettled. He stared into my eyes. I stared into his, which were now lighter then I had ever seen them. Almost like a golden butterscotch.

"That's because...truthfully, I feel safe when I'm near you." I confessed, mesmerized by his eyes, into telling him the truth. And by the looks of it, he was not happy with my confession. His feature went from curious to a frown.

"This is worse then I thought," he murmered in a low whisper to himself, my ears just catchign what he said.

Looking from him to the breadsticks, I reached out and picked one up. Bringing it to my mouth I started to nibble on the end of it. I returned my gaze to him, trying to decide on wether or not it wuold be safe enough to ask him some questions that were forming in my mind.

"You know...you're usually in a better mood when you're eyes are light," I commented, trying to take his mind off of whatever it was that had him frowning and somber.

Snapping his attention back to me he asked me in a stunned voice, "What did you say?"

I sat up straighter in my seat. "You're always in a crabbie mood when you're eyes are dark - like at the warehouse, they were black, I have a theory about your eyes." I finished taking a small bite of the breadstick. Which tasted alot like one of those big pretzels you get at fairs.

His eyes slowly narrowed as he said, "More theories?"

Nodding my head with a small 'Mm-hm', I continued taking small bites of the breadstick.

"Hopefully you were more imaginatively creative this time. Or did you steal theses theories from a comic book?" His faint smile was mocking, his eyes still very light.

"No actauuly I didn't get it from a comic book. But I didn't coem up with it on my own either." I confessed.

"Well?" he prompted.

I never got to answer him, the waitress came from around the courner with my food. It wasn't until then, that I noticed that Edward and I were both leaning towards eachother over the table, since when she approached the both of us straightened up. The dish she set before me looked quite delicious, after she placed it down, she quickly turned to Edward.

"Have you changed you're mind? Isn't there anything I could get for you?" she asked, to me it sounded like she wanted to please him by getting him anything he asked.

"No, I'm positive that I won't be having anything. But if you don't mind, we could go for two more Cokes." He gestured with his long white hand towards the two empty glasses.

"Right away." She removed the two empty glasses from the table and walked back the way she came.

"You were saying?" he asked, turning his attention abck to me.

"I'll talk to you about it in the car..if..." I paused.

"If? There are conditions?" He raised one eyebrow, his voice ominous.

"Course, I have a few questions." I answered.

"Questions of course." he sighed, this time it was he who rolled his eyes.

The waitress came back carying two more Cokes. Thsi time, she sat them down and left again without saying a word. Which of course, didn't bother me one bit.

I took a sip from the one she placed infront of me.

"Well?" he pushed, his voice hard.

My first question was, to me, the easiest to answer. "Why are you in Port Angeles?"

He glanced down, folding his hands together on the table. His eyes flickered up at me through his lashes, his lips twitching at the side.

"Next."

Confused I stated, "But that's the easiest one for you to answer."

Again he said, "Next."

Frustrated at this I looked down. The napkin folded arounf my silverware catching my attention. Reaching over, I picked it up and unrolled it, placing the napkin and knife back down onto the plate. I used the fork to stab a ravioli. I put it inside my mouth and chewed slowly, savouring the taste, which was actualy quite good. Swallowing I took another sip of my Coke before returning my attention to Edward. Well actually more like glaring at Edward.

"Okay then," I started before continuing slowly, "Let's say, hypothetically of course, that..someone...could know what people were thinking, read minds, of course with a few exceptions.

"Not a few exceptions, just one." He corrected, then added, "Hypothetically speaking."

"All right, with just one exception." I was glad that he was playing along, but I tried to make it seem more casual.

"Hypothetically, how is it that it works? What are the limitations? How is it possible that, that someone found another at perfect timing? How did he know that she was in trouble?" I had to think over what I said, just to make sure if it made any sense at all.

"Hypothetically?"

"Sure, why not."

"Well, if..that somone..."

"Let's call him 'Joe'," I suggested, taking another sip of my drink.

He smiled wryly. "Joe it is then. Well lets say that if Joe had been paying more closer attention then his timeing wouldn't have needed to be quite so exact." He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Only you could get into trouble in a town this small, even smaller. You could have even devastated their crime rate statistics for a decade you know."

"You know that a statistic is a form of a lie?" I asked, remember a quote I had read once. Shaking my head I said, "Sorry, back to the conversation we were speaking of a hypothetical case." I said, reminding myselef and him frostily.

With his eyes warm, he alughed at me.

"Yes we were. Shall we call you 'Jane' then? He stated with a chuckle.

Making a small gasp I asked, "How did you know?" Slowly, I was leaning forward, towards him again.

He seemed to go into a deep thought, distracted by something. His eyes were locked with mine still. It looked as if he were debating on wether or not to just come out with the truth.

Quietly, a small whispering murmer I said, "You can trust me, Edward. I reached my hand over to his, without thinking, to touch his folded hands. Quickly he slid them away, surprised I pulled my hand back.

"I guess I have no chice but to tell you." His voice also a low whispering murmer. "I guess I was mistaken, you are very observant than I thought you were."

Well i hope you enjoyed it, and that you tell me what you think, i know it was pretty much from the book btu hey, i tried to changed it a bit.

Hopefully i will have the next chapter out either tonight or tommorow i am going to a japanes restaurnat for my friends bday present from a bunch of us but i should be able to get the next chapter maby even both done by tommorow nightish.
