1Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'm going to try to make my chapters longer, but I have little time. .Keep reviewing:D

The restaurant was exactly as suspected. Edward lead me into the extravagant place, where it was obvious few people could afford to eat there. Money didn't matter to the Cullens.

Despite my protests, Edward walked inside the incredibly large building and up towards the hostess, who looked at us as if there was no way we could ever have enough to pay for this. Her expression was stifled a bit, though, when she saw Edward. She gazed up at him for a moment before he broke her trance by saying in a slightly annoyed tone that we'd like a table somewhere in the back.

She struggled to remain professional as she led us towards a table by a gorgeous marble fountain.

"Will this do?" She asked, her voice noticeably more tempting. Edward didn't seem to notice.

"Perfect." He said to her, pulling a chair out and beckoning for me to sit down. I smiled at him, and watched the hostess disappear with one last longing glance at Edward. His eyes followed her as well, but they were amused.

"Thank you." I said as he went around the table to his seat.

"Anytime." He said, pulling his mouth into a crooked smile I had always adored.

" So what did you hear that waitress thinking about you?" I asked him jokingly.

"The usual," he answered, and took my hands in his perfectly icy ones. It made my heart twist enjoyably every time. I was fine with Edwards answer, fine with not knowing. I didn't like jealousy.

We sat staring at each other for a while. It was nice how it didn't feel awkward at all, sitting in silence like this with him. It would have when we first met.

"Bella..." Edward looked down. "We came here to talk, and I think we should, no matter how much we're enjoying this." I quickly agreed.

"Alice's vision... You already know that it was about Erik..." He was interrupted by man who was now standing at the edge of the table, looking at us strangely. He'd probably overheard Edward.

"Um... Are you ready to order?" He asked us, his tone carefully composed.

"Bella?" Edward looked at me. I hadn't looked at the elaborate menu that was given to us. I quickly flipped it open, eager to continue our conversation.

"I'll have the pasta..." I said, closing the menu and handing it to him.

"Which one?" The waiter offered it back to me, but I didn't take it. .

"Uh... the first one." I didn't even know what it was, but apparently he understood and moved on to Edward. Edward, of course, knew what he was about to ask, and told him that he would have nothing. Finally, the waiter left.

Edward looked back to me, and smiled softly before continuing.

"Alice had a vision that Erik had decided to stay." His eyes searched mine to find an expression in my face. He didn't find one. My face was blank, my heart torn between emotions. I wasn't sure if I was feeling sad, happy, hurt, or scared. I was confused.

"Why?" I asked him, my voice was just as emotionless. This didn't seem like enough to take me out and speak to me like this. Just because Erik decided to stay? I knew that he was a threat, but Edward would keep me safe.

"Bella, he decided to stay because of you." He said, as if the answer was obvious. His voice then became strained, and scared. "He's not leaving as soon as I thought he was. Alice's vision was of Erik AND you. Although he thinks that he can, he won't be able to resist you."

Hey everyone, thanks for reading this chapter! I PROMISE that the next one will be much longer.

Now go and review. Please?
