Chapter 10: Wish

I decided to take a long, relaxing shower while I waited for Alice to come back from her class, and by the time I was done with it, Alice was in our room getting together her purse for her shopping excursion.

"Ready to go Bella?" she asked without glancing up from her purse.

"Nope," I said, plopping down on my bed.

"What do you mean 'nope'?" Alice asked, standing up and walking over to my bed so that she was hovering over me.

"I mean, I'm not going shopping with you Alice." I said plainly.

"Bella, do you really want to get into this argument with me? Now I specifically stated that you were obligated to go shopping with me unless you could get a date." She said, scolding me like a mother does her daughter.

"I know that." I replied.

"And since… wait" her eyes suddenly brightened and she smiled "Bella, did you ask Edward out?"

"Maybe…" I said, teasing Alice.

"OHMYGOSHBELLA!" she said quickly, "I didn't think you had it in you! He said yes of course, right?" I nodded "I need to pick out your outfit!" She practically squealed and ran over to my closet. "What are you going to be doing?"

"Um, I'm not sure. He wouldn't tell me." I said.

"Why don't guys understand that we need to know the plans so we can plan on what to wear?" Alice sighed and picked up her phone dialing a number. "Jasper, hey, can you put Edward on the phone?" she asked, and after a brief pause she started to talk again. "Edward, I need to know what the plan is for your date later today."
I blushed; we never exactly established it was a date.

"Yes I know you want it to be a surprise." Alice said pausing again while listening to Edward talk, "No I wont tell her" she said answering his statement "Okay, thanks Edward, I have just the outfit for that, bye."

"You know what we are doing?" I asked Alice hopefully.

"Yep," she said, "and no I'm not going to tell you. But come and put this on." She said holding out a black shirt, and matching black pants and tennis shoes.

I raised a questioning eyebrow at her and she just shrugged and made a gesture to hurry up and change.

I did so and then automatically walked over to the chair that was now unofficially the "make up and hair for Bella chair." To my utter shock, Alice only put on a little lip gloss and put my hair into a neat ponytail before announcing she was "All done."

"Alice, can't you give me a hint as to what we are doing?" I said, sticking out my bottom lip.

"Nope! The clothes should be a clue enough." She said and then walked over to pick up her purse. "Well, I'm off to go shopping for us, have fun on your date Bella! I know you will."
"Thanks Alice," I said.

"Oh and please don't trip or break any bones" Alice said and winked while she walked out the door.

Why would I trip on a date? It's not like we were doing anything physically active, right? Wait, tennis shoes, Alice's warning… oh no. "Alice, wait-" I said opening the door again to shout down the hall, only to see that she was no where in site. That girl sure was fast.

I glanced at my watch to see that Edward, assuming he was on time, would be here in five minutes so I decided to sit down at my computer and e-mail my mom, an e-mail that was long overdue.

I quickly summarized my week so far, how Alice and I were planning on rushing and briefly told her that Mike and I were no longer dating, but didn't go into any details as to why. I ended the e-mail by saying that I loved her and missed her and Charlie and that I'd talk to them soon and then hit send.
Not a minute later, I heard a knock on my door and opened it to see Edward standing in front of me, all dressed in black to. He was smiling a cute crooked smile, one that was contagious as I found myself smiling back.

"Hey" I said.

"Hey, ready?" He asked. I nodded and picked up my purse.

"Oh, you won't need that." Edward said, pointing to my purse.
I threw him a questioning glance but put the purse down, sticking my cell phone into my pants pocket as well as a 20.

"So where are we off to?" I asked as we walked towards Edward's car.

"Nope, I'm not telling." He said shaking his head, "It's going to be a surprise."

"Fine," I huffed and sat cross armed in the passenger's seat.
"We have to eat first, where do you want to eat?" Edward asked.

"Where ever works for me," I said.

"I know this small Italian restaurant about five minutes from here, want to check it out?"

"Yea, I love Italian!" I said enthusiastically.

"I remember," Edward said under his breath then said more loudly "So, Bella how are you enjoying college so far?"

"It's good, so much more freedom then that jail high school was. I still can't believe that Alice got me to rush with her though." I sighed.

"I know what you mean, Jasper kind of dragged me into it too; I have no idea how I am going to be able to balance that and school and basketball practices that are starting soon."

"Oh jeez, um, do you have time to be doing this with me? It sounds like you have a busy schedule." I said awkwardly.

"Yea, basketball doesn't start until next week and well rushing… I have no idea when that will happen, but it shouldn't be tonight." He said as he pulled into the restaurants parking lot.

That was a fast drive, I thought to myself as I unbuckled my seat belt and right before I was going to open my door, I saw Edward outside it, opening it for me.

"Thanks, Edward" I said, blushing slightly. No boy has ever opened a door for me before, it's one of those romantic gestures that no one does in the modern day.

"Your welcome," he looked down at my hand, up at me, down at my hand again and then sighed and started to walk towards the restaurant with me walking next to him.

To say that we got a weird look from all in the restaurant after we walked in would be an understatement. I suddenly realized we were horribly underdressed, and in all black. They probably thought we were some strange gothic couple, I cringed.

"Reservations under Mason," Edward said, either ignoring or oblivious to the stares.

The girl at the desk scanned slowly over Edward's body, checking him out and then, satisfied with what she saw, had the audacity to wink at him! "Right this way." She said motioning for us to follow her.

She led us to a small booth in the back of the room, handed us our menus then walked slowly away, glancing over her shoulder again at Edward. I rolled my eyes.
"Jealous, Bella?" Edward laughed.

"N-no," I stuttered and blushed, "I just don't see why she'd flirt with you in front of me. I mean for all she knew we could be a couple or heck… married. People get married at our age now a-days, you know?" I threw my hands up in the air and then blushed madly when I realized I just brought up marriage on a first date. Oh my gosh.

Edward merely smirked and said, "I'm so sorry she offended you, Mrs. Mason." Which only made me blush more.

Thankfully our server came over to our table to save me from my embarrassment.

"Hello, my name is Drew. I'll be your server tonight. Can I get you anything?" He looked at me purposefully.

"I'll have a coke, thanks."

"Me too," Edward said coldly.

"I'll be right back with those and a bread basket." He said walking off.

I looked over at Edward to see he was glaring in Drew's retreating figure. "You okay?"

"Fine, just didn't like those guys eyes roaming all over your body." He said bitterly.

"His eyes weren't roaming!" I gasped.

"Oh, they were too," Edward said back, acting like a five year old.

"Jealous, Edward?" I said, quoting his words from only a few minutes ago.

"Yes," he said shortly.
His response caught me off guard and I blushed yet again. If I didn't stop this, red would become the permanent color of my skin!

As always with perfect timing, Drew came back and gave us our drinks and bread. "Are you ready to order?"

"I am, are you?" I asked Edward.

"Sure, you go first though." He said.

"I'll have the lasagna please." I said handing Drew my menu.

"I'll have the spaghetti with meat sauce please." Edward said.

"One lasagna and spaghetti coming up" Drew said, and walked away.

"Spaghetti? Real original Edward." I laughed.

"Hey, lasagna isn't that much more original." He retorted.

"Good point. So will you let me know what we are doing after this?" I asked, hopefully.

"Still no."

"But I hate surprises and I have a feeling it will involve some kind of physical activity, which I feel the need to warn you in advance about. I know when I was younger I was somewhat physically able, however; as I've grown I've become more and more clumsy."
Edward laughed, laughed at this "Bella, hate to break it to you, but you weren't all that coordinated when you were younger either. And don't worry; I know for a fact that you'll be able to participate in our date."

"If I break any bones, it'll be on your conscious" I said in mock seriousness.

"Ok," he laughed and then offered me a piece of bread.

"Thanks," I said taking it from him and eating it slowly.

"Your welcome," he replied and also started to eat.

We fell into a comfortable silence, not the usual awkward silence first dates have, but a peaceful, relaxing silence. A few minutes later our food came.

"Well that sure was quick service," I smiled at Drew while Edward rolled his eyes.

"I've been told I'm very good, and I'm quite experienced" Drew said while my eyes grew, Edward started to cough. "…At serving" He added after a glare from Edward.

"Right, well thanks," Edward said.

"Anytime," Drew said still looking at me, "Let me know if I can get you anything" and with that he walked away.

"Well, that was awkward." I said, not looking Edward in the eye.

Edward mumbled something under his breath that I wasn't able to distinguish then started shoving his spaghetti into his mouth.

We made small talk throughout the meal, talking about a variety of things from our opinions about the government to what happened on the latest episode of LOST.

"It is getting so confusing with the flash forwards and flash backs" I said.

"I think it adds depth to the show," Edward replied.

"Well they could add depth to the show without confusing the heck out of us," I said.

"Suppose so, but that's part of what makes it so interesting, not knowing what is going on." He said.

"I don't think the producers even know where they are going with it."

"They have to know!" Edward said "I mean-"

"-Here is some desert for you" Edward was interrupted by Drew who was holding a chocolate slice of cake with ice-cream on top.

"Oh wow, thanks. But we didn't order desert." I said, eyeing the cake.

"It's on the house, please enjoy." Drew then bowed, bowed, and walked away.

"That was nice of him." I said sincerely as I handed Edward a fork and took a bite of the cake.

"Yea, nice" Edward said through gritted teeth, but took a bite as well.

"This is so good! I haven't had cake in the longest time." I closed my eyes and enjoyed the hot, moist cake and the contrasting cold, vanilla ice-cream. "Yum"

I opened my eyes to see Edward staring at me longingly and then he looked down.

"So ready to go?" He asked after I took the last bite.

"Yep," I replied, licking my lips to get off the chocolate that no doubt got on them.

Edward waved down Drew, "Check please"

"Alright, here you go" Drew pulled out the check from his front pocket and gave it to Edward.

While Edward was looking down to get out his wallet, Drew slipped me a piece of paper, smiling at me. As soon as Edward looked up, he dropped his smile and took the cash and left like nothing had happened.

I quickly shoved the paper that Drew gave me into my pocket, curious as to what it could be and then stood up with Edward to leave.

The drive to our mysterious location was only a couple minutes. I was actually surprised that Edward didn't make me put on a blindfold or something on the way there since he was acting so discrete about it.

When pulled up to a building that said Zap Zone on the face of it, and I immediately turned to Edward, "Laser tag?"

"Yep! Kind of the grown up version of Capture the Flag, don't you think?" he said, eyes sparkling in excitement. "One minute." He said holding up a finger to me and he ran around the car. "My lady." He bowed while opening my door.

"Why thank you kind sir," I said back, and curtsied.

We both were still laughing as we entered Zap Zone and got our vests on. We then had to go to an instructional room where they told us how to hold our laser guns as well as where to shoot and how to get bonus points. The people working there then randomly split us into three teams: red, blue and green.

I was assigned the blue team while Edward was assigned the green. He grinned evilly at me as we walked into the playing field which was basically a dark giant room with lots of corners and walls creating an atmosphere almost maze like.

"Ready. Set. Go" a voice over the loud speaker shouted and we all took off in different directions.

I ran left, then turned right and then right again until I found myself in a dead end. Perfect, I thought, I would be able to shoot anyone who came around and there was no way they would be able to get me.

Just as I thought this, a red team member turned the corner and without hesitation I shot them, hitting their marker on their chest. The girl threw me a glare, and walked away, defeated.

I pulled up my gun to get ready for the next person to round the corner when suddenly I saw my vest light up, signaling I was shot.

How is that possible? I wondered, I looked around me then looked up, where I saw a second level that I had missed earlier. Standing right above me was Edward, grinning at my confused expression.

"Oh, now you're going to get it," I said. He mocked fear by holding his hand up to his mouth while I started to run towards the nearest stairs to get to him.

By the time I got up the stairs and to the place he was when he shot me, he was gone. I signed and looked around for him, shooting a couple other people in the interim.

Where did he go? I thought to myself and started to move around again, keeping my eyes open for him when suddenly I saw my lights turn on again. Shoot!

I turned around instantly to see Edward laughing at me, "You really are quite oblivious, you know that?"

"Oh really, Edward?" I asked, stepping towards him. That took him off guard as he froze and let his gun fall down a little. "You really think I'm that oblivious?" I said taking a step closer to him again and biting my lower lip.

"Um…" He said, just as my laser gun vibrated, showing that I was able to shoot again. I quickly aimed my gun at him and shot him right in his shoulder.

It took him a second to realize what I had just done, and when he did he said "You better run Bella, you better run."
I squealed and took off in the opposite direction, nearly running into another member of my blue team.

"Hey," I said to the boy who looked to be about 13.

He looked up at me, surprised and then said "Hey yourself" and brushed his hair back.

"There is this guy who will be coming this way in a minute, he is on the green team and is after me! Will you shoot him for me please?" I said, batting my eyelashes at him.

"Sure!" he said a little too eagerly.

I hid behind him in a corner as I waited for Edward to come around. He did soon and the kid shot him just as planned.

"What? No!" Edward shouted, and then asked the little kid, "Have you seen a gorgeous brunette run by here?"

He shook his head and Edward muttered something under his breath I'm fairly sure a thirteen year old should not have heard and took off in the opposite direction.

As soon as he was out of sight I walked over to the boy and said thank you and then ran away, following Edward.

As soon as his laser vibrated, I shot him again and then ducked behind a close wall.
I could see Edward looking around, confused and then saw him spot a boy hiding behind a wall in front of him. Edward grinned and then shot the kid, thinking it was him who shot him earlier.
I muffled a laugh and as soon as Edward started to walk again I began to follow.

When his laser vibrated again I did the same thing as last time.

"Ok, who is there?" He said, obviously getting frustrated.

I decided to take pity on him and said "No one"

"Bella?" he said playfully, "Oh Bella, come out come out where ever you are."

"No!" I shouted playfully back and ran.

I looked behind me and saw that Edward was following me, catching up ever so quickly. I tried to run faster when I saw he was in almost arms reach of me.

Next thing I knew I was falling onto the ground, having tripped while looking behind me at Edward instead of in front of me.

Because of Edward's momentum, he fell on top of me. Just like so many years ago during our capture the flag game.

I looked up into Edwards sparkling green eyes and found myself getting lost in them. This was so wrong, he was my friend, and we grew up together. "Edward" I murmured.

"Mhmm?" Edward said, gazing back into my eyes.

"I… I" I stuttered. "Wish" I whispered.

"What was that?" Edward asked.

"My wish, remember my wish?" I said.

"Yes."
"I want to use it now" I said quietly.

Edward raised his eyebrows and then said "okay"

I glanced down at his lips and back up at his eyes, he smiled and then said "You're going to have to say your wish so I know what you want."

I knew he knew what I wanted, and I knew he wanted it too, so I decided to mess with him a little. "Okay, let me shoot you." I said.

He looked at me, disappointed and started to stand up when I tugged on his shirt, pulling him back down on top of me, and whispered into his ear, "Kiss me, please"

He gazed into my eyes and then lowered his lips to my own, kissing me gently on the mouth. Our mouths moved in sync with each other, and I winded my hands into his hair, pulling him closer to me. I don't know how long we kissed for, if only a minute or longer, but all too soon we heard the voice over the speaker.

"Times up." it said, "Please return to your respective rooms to put back your vest and gun and pick up your score sheet."

Edward sighed, brushed his hand against my face gently and then stood up and offered a hand to me. I took it and stood up next to him, and brushed my hair slightly.

As we made our way to the rooms, I tried to steady my breath and gain composure again.

We walked in silence to the desk where they were giving out the scores and each picked up our sheet.

Bella: 9 hits. I laughed, that had to have been the worst score I'd ever gotten. I glanced over at Edward who was frowning and looked at his sheet.

Edward: 4 hits. I laughed even harder at that.

We were in the room for nearly thirty minutes and we managed to get a total of thirteen hits. Wow.

"Good thing I wasn't trying," Edward said.

"Right, you chasing me wasn't trying Edward," I said playfully.

"Well, I think I got a better prize then getting first place in some silly game," he said dipping his head towards me and brushing my lips slightly.

I blushed and said "Edward 0, Bella 1"

He pulled away slightly and then kissed me again, this time more passionately, a kiss that left me breathless.

"Okay, okay," I said between breaths "Edward 1, Bella 1."

He laughed and took my hand and walked out of the building and got into the car.

"Mind if I turn on some music?" Edward asked.

I shook my head, and he pressed play, filling the car with the sound of Debussy.

"Debussy?" I asked, surprised.

"Do you mind?" Edward asked, worried.

"No, not at all. I'm just surprised that's all. Not many people our age know Debussy." It was true, no one in my high school knew of him, expect Alice, but she only knew because I listened to him so often.

"I love him," Edward said, "His music is so relaxing and pure."

I nodded, completely agreeing and relaxed into the chair, letting the music take over my thoughts.

Before I knew it, Edward pulled up his Volvo to the front of my dorm hall. "Want me to walk you in?" he asked.

"No, it's okay." I said and opened the door and began to step out.

"Bella," he said and I paused, "I had a really good time tonight, I hope we can do it again sometime."

"I had a really good time to Edward, and definitely." I leaned over the arm rest and kissed him lightly on his cheek and then got out of the car. When I reached the door to my building, I turned around and waved goodbye to Edward, who eagerly waved back and then walked into the hall.

As soon as I walked into my room I was attacked, literally she jumped on me, by Alice.

"How did it go?" she asked enthusiastically.

I grinned at her and walked to my dresser to pull out my pajamas.

"Oh my gosh! Bella! You are glowing! And I've never seen you smile this much before!" She hugged me, "Details! I need details!"

I changed, wordlessly, into my pajamas when I felt Alice's firm grip grasp my shoulder "Bella, speak now or I'll be forced to make you speak! You're killing me here!"

I let out a small laugh and filled her in on my evening, including every single detail. She sat there on her bed, bouncing up and down and squealed when I told her about our kiss.
