Look, another chapter! REVIEW IT!! lol, sorry couldn't help it. I'm trying to make up for my horrible lack of updatage. Shortish one again, but as promised to one lovely reader (lets see if you remember this, you know who you are) its Parade time!! parade is this crazy thing the military school does and... well, you'll see.

The next week passed by so slowly, I thought it would never end. Even the classes that I normally found interesting were suddenly dragging on for what seemed like eternity. At one point I actually counted the hours until I could see Edward again. And then the minutes, and the seconds. I was seriously pathetic, and I knew it. But as Friday came around, my anticipation grew to anxiousness, and I found myself daydreaming about that night in my calculus class.

Edward had invited me to watch Parade at his school on Friday afternoon. Parade was this ridiculous sounding event his school made the students do every Friday afternoon. From what I understood, it basically involved marching onto a field with your company, waiting for the cannon blasts, and marching off the field. I wasn't sure how interesting it would be, but I figured that watching Edward marching in his uniform couldn't possibly be bad. Ohhhhh my god, that uniform is hot….

So after a week of waiting to see him again, I was dragging Alice and Rose with me to watch Parade. They were pissed that they had to go, probably because they had more important things to do…like their hair. But they shut up when I mentioned that it wouldn't take that long, and we could steal our boys away afterwards to do something more fun. Tonight was also the night of my first date with Edward. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Sure, we had done everything together for as long as I could remember, but we had never been out together as a couple before. I had no idea what to expect from this- we already knew everything there was to know about each other, friend wise. What if Edward the boyfriend was totally different from Edward the friend?? All sorts of questions kept running through my head, all throughout class, my walk back to the dorms, and the wait until we could leave for Parade.

"Bella, sweetheart, you need to chill please, before you wear a hole in the carpet." Alice said. We were waiting in the room until it was time to leave, and I was apparently pacing like a psychopath.

"Hmmm? Oh, sorry Alice, I was just thinking about tonight." I replied, sitting down.

"Oh? And what about tonight exactly? Could it be your hot date with your new boyfriend? You are going to let me dress you and do your makeup, right?"

I sighed. "Yes, Alice, but nothing to ridiculous, ok? Edwards known me forever, after all."

"So? All the more reason to try and impress him! We'll make you look so good he won't even recognize you." She said, an evil grin stretching across her face. I knew that look, and I knew it well. I was in for a night of Alice torture. But wait…if we were bringing the boys back with us, then Edward would be there to save me from Alice! Ohhhh perfect. No way was I gonna tell her that, though. Let her figure it out for herself and get mad at me later. Now who's evil?

******************************************************************************************

A little while later, we were standing on the edge of a field, waiting for Parade to start. This school seriously looked like a castle fort or something, and it was kinda freaking me out. All of a sudden, I heard drums start up, and turned to see the first companies march out towards the field. I looked around, searching for Edward. Five minutes later, I saw him.

Wow.

That, right there? That's my boyfriend. My incredibly hot, incredibly masculine, uniformed, marching and did I mention hot, boyfriend. I felt like a fourteen year old girl seeing a picture of Brad Pitt for the first time and quite frankly, I was embarrassed. I'm sure I probably looked like a tomato too, with my super awkward blushing power. I really don't know why Edward pretended to like it when I blushed, it must be seriously unattractive.

Edward marched by with his company, following perfectly and never breaking stride. He was perfect, as usual. I watched his every movement, feeling like a stalker, or you know, Jessica. His movements were mesmerizing, and every step he took made the muscles in his body stand out perfectly, even through his uniform. God, I wanted to rip off that uniform and lick every inch of his muscled body…

BOOM.

I was rudely shaken from my inappropriate thoughts involving Edward NOT in his uniform by LOUD, echoing cannon blasts. Fucking cannons…..

teehee those mean cannons! date time next chapter! anybody wanna decided where they should go? I'm thinking a location specific place, so I'll tell you whats here: an aquarium, a boatload of restaurants and clubs, uhhh the ocean, a cinema, malls, pretty much everything. you guys pick.
