The next couple of days went by rather smoothly. Edward continued to stay at Alice's house with me, and we were starting to grow more and more as a couple. There was no denying the fact that we loved each other.

I was sitting at the kitchen table, grading my class' tests when my phone rang. I had been sitting in complete silence up until that point, so the sudden noise cause me to jump in my seat. I sighed happily as I saw 'Edward' flashing on the screen. I hadn't talked to him in what seemed like forever, though in reality it was about 5 hours.

"Hey there," I answered.

"Hello, beautiful. What are you up to?" he asked.

"I'm just grading some tests. You?"

"Nothing, actually. I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight, and maybe stay at my house afterwards." Inside, I was jumping for joy like a little kid. Edward and I hadn't gone out on a date as an official couple, and the thought of being able to show everyone that he was the man that I was dating was exciting.

"That sounds like fun," I replied, trying to keep my voice normal.

"Okay, so I'll pick you up around seven?"

I quickly glanced at the clock and saw that it was 5:30. That gave me just enough time to make myself look somewhat worthy of dating someone with looks like Edward's.

"Sounds good," I replied.

"I miss you, Bella," he said sadly. I couldn't help but laugh, since the last time we saw each other was this morning. The way he said it made it sound like we hadn't seen each other for months. However, I couldn't say I didn't feel the same. I wanted nothing more than to have him with me.

"I miss you too."

"Well, we'll just have to make up for lost time then, won't we?" he asked sexily. I could feel the blush creeping up my cheeks and I had to give myself a few moments to regain my composure.

"Maybe, if you're lucky," I teased.

I could hear him laugh softly and then he hung up. I shook my head and rolled my eyes and continued to grade the tests. Once I was done, I ran into the bathroom to get myself ready. I had taken a shower when I got home from work, so I only needed to do my makeup and slightly curl my hair. I was almost done when Alice came running in.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Edward wants to take me out, and I'm staying at his house afterwards," I told her.

"Ohh. . .how cute," she gushed.

"Whatever. So, what are your plans for the night?" I asked suggestively. I could see her blushing and I knew that whatever it was involved her mystery man.

"Jasper is coming over," she replied sheepishly.

"Oh, so that's his name? When am I going to meet this guy?" I questioned.

"How about this weekend? We can double date. Maybe we can even get Emmet and his new lady to come," she answered excitedly. Alice got excited over the simplest things, such as making plans for lunch, but that's why I loved her. We balanced each other out, with my shy and reserved side, and her crazy and social side.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun," I told her as I finished with the last curl. I gave one last look before turning to Alice, asking for her opinion.

"You're gorgeous, Bella. What are you going to wear?"

Luckily, I had already picked it out, so I didn't have to worry about Alice going crazy helping me.

"I have a dark blue dress and these really cute black heels," I told her. I saw a look of surprise hit her face.

"Wow. Since when did you like to buy stuff like that?" She knew me all too well. I never really like buying dressy clothes like that.

"Well, since Edward and I got together I had to get something that would make me look nice, since I'm so plain compared to him," I told her.

"Shut up, Bella. You could wear sweats and a sweatshirt and you would still be breathtaking, and you know that," she said sternly.

"Thank you," I said shyly. I never really liked getting compliments; I never felt worthy of being called pretty or beautiful, but it still made me happy.

"No problem. Now, go and get ready. When is he coming?"

"Seven," I replied.

"Hurry! It's six forty-five. He's going to be early," she answered confidently. Alice often got what she was sure were premonitions, and since they were usually always right, I didn't argue with her. I quickly made my way into my room and slipped on the dress and the shoes right when Edward rung the doorbell. I shot a look at my clock. Six fifty-two. She was right again.

As I walked down the stairs I heard Edward and Alice making small talk. I couldn't help but smile. It was a comforting feeling to know that they actually got along.

When Edward's eyes landed on me, his expression instantly changed. He looked at me as if I was the only person in the room, in the world, even.

I made my way over to his side and he instantly put one hand on my waist, pulling me closer to him. "You look beautiful, my love," he whispered. I looked up at him and smiled, lightly placing a kiss on his cheek.

"You don't look so bad yourself," I answered. That statement was a complete understatement. He looked amazing. He was wearing a slacks and a button up t-shirt with the first couple buttons undone.

"We should get going," he said. I looked at Alice and gave her a light hug.

"Have fun tonight," I said teasingly. She lightly hit me on the arm and practically pushed us out of the house. The laugh that escaped my lips was uncontrollable. I had always joked with Alice like that, and I loved her reactions.

"So, where are we going?" I asked Edward once we were in his car.

"It's a surprise," he told me.

We didn't talk the whole way to our destination. I was too busy trying to figure out where exactly that was. I had come up with about 13 possibilities when Edward pulled over one the side of the road. This was definitely not one of my guesses.

When he let me out of the car he immediately put a blind fold over my eyes and grabbed my hand, leading me to wherever we were headed next. I tried to protest, but I was silenced with a kiss.

It seemed like forever before we stopped and Edward pulled the blindfold off my eyes. My jaw instantly hit the floor when I could see again. Edward had taken me to a secluded part of town, right next to one of the most beautiful ponds I had ever seen. It was surrounded by trees and greenest grass. There was a blanket placed right on the shore with two candles in the center. There was also a picnic basket filled with what I assumed was our dinner.

I turned to look at Edward and instantly wrapped my arms around his neck. "Thank you so much, Edward. This is beautiful."

"You're welcome, love. You should thank Alice, too. She helped."

I couldn't believe it. When I told Alice about our date, she acted as if she knew nothing.

Edward led us to the blanket and started taking out the food. There was spaghetti and salad, my favorite.

We ate in silence, just looking at each other. The candlelight made him look even more irresistible, and it took all I had in me to not jump him right there. Once we were finished, he started to pull out dessert, but I couldn't hold my patience any longer.

"Why don't we skip dessert?" I asked in what I hoped was a sexy voice. Edward clearly got the message as he closed the space between us and captured my lips in a breathtaking kiss. The kiss deepened as he lightly pushed me on the blanket and licked my bottom lip. I instantly granted him entrance as our tongues began to explore each other's mouths yet again. I dropped my hands to the buttons on his shirt as I began fumbling with them.

"Let's go home," he said. I couldn't argue as I let him pull me up and lead me to his car.

"What about the stuff?" I asked.

"I can get it tomorrow. Nobody comes here, anyways," he answered.

He opened my door for me and practically ran to his. He drove like a maniac to his house, and I was too distracted by the feelings pulsing through me to really notice how nice his house was, but I got the idea. I'd have to check it out in the morning.

Once he shut the door and locked it he captured my lips in another knee weakening kiss. He placed his arm under my knees and picked me up bridal style without breaking the kiss. I was so into the kiss; I barely noticed when he placed me on his bed. I returned my hands to his chest and managed to unbutton is and take it off. I threw it across the room and let my hands roam his chest just as his lips started to explore my neck and jaw. I couldn't suppress the moan that escaped my lips. His hands made their way to my back and lightly tugged at the zipper, asking for permission to continue. I happily obliged as I arched my back, allowing him to discard of my dress easier. Once it was off her tossed it the same way I had thrown his shirt. I was suddenly self conscious. I was laying in nothing my but my lace strapless blue bra and matching underwear. I tried to pull myself against him so he couldn't continue to look, but he stopped me.

"You're breathtaking, love," he assured me. I lay back down on the bed and decided that he was wearing too many clothes. My hands flew to his belt and hastily pulled it off. After I got rid of the contraption, I started unbuttoning his pants and pulled the down. I was abruptly overwhelmed by the sight of his obvious excitement.

We continued to kiss each other and explore our bodies. The night went amazing, just the way I imagined. We made love over and over again, confessing our love in the most intimate of ways. I was in complete bliss as I fell asleep in his arms. In the arms of the man that I loved more than I thought was possible.
