AUTHOR'S NOTE - I'm sorry that I didn't mention this in the story, but the Rameriz live like few houses away from the Cullens.

Chapter 6

(Edward's POV)

It was 10:45 AM. Bella should be arriving any minute to go to our date at the ice skating rink.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

I rushed to the door and opened it.

But instead of Bella standing there smiling it was Megan.

"Oh, hey Megan. What are you doing over here?" I asked.

"I just stopped by to say hi."

I let her inside and closed the door behind her.

Megan sat on the coach and I sat next to her.

"Are you doing anything today?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm kind of busy today," I said.

Then there was a knock on the door, again.

"Oh, I think it's Bella," I said and went to the door.

But Alice got to the door first and said, "I'll get it."

Alice opened the door and there stood my lovely Bella.

"Hey Alice," Bella said.

"Hey Bella, are you ready to go ice skating?"

"Umm…. Sure."

"Good morning, Bella," I said to her.

"Good morning, Edward," she said without looking at me.

I guess she was still mad.

"Well," Alice said and breaking the silence, "I think you two better be going now."

"Okay, let's go Bella," I said and walked over to Bella.

"Wait Edward!" someone yelled.

It was Megan.

"Megan… not now, I…" but she didn't let me finish.

"EDWARD, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! CAN I GO ICE SKATING WITH YOU! I LOVE ICE SKATING!" she begged.

"But Megan, it's a date…. I can't... I'm supposed to be alone with Bella," I said but I soon saw her eyes watering.

"I'm sorry, Edward. I just… love ice skating so much. I had so much fun when I ice skated with my family… so…" but she didn't finish because she was starting to cry.

"Okay, okay… you… you can come. Just stop crying!" I said, "Is that okay for you, Bella?"

But she didn't answer me the first time so I asked her again.

"Bella, is that okay for you?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, she can come," she said.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Megan yelled and hugged me.

(Bella's POV)

"Okay, okay… you… you can come. Just stop crying!" he said.

What! Why was he letting her come along on our date? It's supposed to be us alone! What was he thinking!

"Is that okay for you, Bella?" he asked but I couldn't answer. I was so confused.

"Bella is that okay for you?" he asked again.

I talked at last, "Huh? Oh, yeah, she can come."

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Megan yelled and hugged Edward.

What! What! Why did she have to hug him! And why isn't Edward pulling away!

I was so mad.

"Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, why don't you guys come with us, too?"

They all looked at me with wide, opened eyes.

"But Bella, it's supposed to be a date," said Alice looking all worried.

"It's okay, Alice. I mean, Edward is bringing his Megan on our date, so I think I can bring my friends too, right Edward?" I said and looked at Edward and glared at him.

"Umm…. Yeah, you guys can come." he said.

"Wait, before we go, can I go to the bathroom first?" I asked and they all nodded.

I went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror.

I saw myself crying.

Alice followed me to the bathroom and she saw me crying.

"Bella, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Please, please don't make loud noises. Then, other people will come!" I said and walked to her and started crying in her chest.

"I can't believe it… why is Edward bringing Megan on our date? Those he care about Megan more than me?" I cried.

"Oh, Bella, it's okay. I'm going to go talk to Edward about this!" she said but I pulled her arm.

"No, don't. It's okay, I'm fine," I said as I wiped my tears.

"Okay, let's go do some ice skating," I said and pulled her arm and headed to the living room.
