Bella's POV

We headed downstairs to get some food, my stomach growling at this point. I turned to walk to the kitchen but as I began to move Jasper grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. I gasped at how close we were, our bodies pressed against one another.

If I just stood on my tip toes our lips would-

I stopped the thought as soon as I began leaning further into his body.

"When I said dinner, I was thinking more along the lines of taking you out for something to eat." He whispered softly, never once breaking his powerful stare.

"You mean like a date." I said before I could stop myself. Hand meet face. I am such an idiot.

I heard him chuckle silently. Great, now he's laughing at me. I was ready to die just about now.

"I mean exactly like a date." He said his face taking on a more serious expression.

"As you can see, I'm not really dressed to go on a date. Maybe if you just give me 20 minutes to get changed, then we can head out." I said pulling out of his hold and rushing toward the stairs. God, the excitement was too strong, I felt like I was going to throw up.

He appeared in front of me before I had time to step on the first step.

"You don't need to change. You look perfectly fine the way you are. Besides, where I plan on taking you there isn't really a dress code." He smiled heartily. Well, at least fancy restaurant can be crossed of the list. I breathed a sigh of relief at that thought, thinking back to how uncomfortable and out of place I felt whenever Edward took me to them.

I quickly scribbled a note for Charlie and stuck it on his coat peg. At least then I know he will definitely see it when he comes home.

"Well, were are we going then?" I questioned curiously.

"It's a surprise. It would ruin the surprise if I told you now, wouldn't it angel?" he countered with a cheeky grin playing on his lips. I also couldn't help notice that he called me angel. I felt the butterflies flutter hard in my stomach.

Angel. He called me angel. An angel. No, his angel. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard him clear his throat.

"Hmm?"

"I said are you ready to go?" he asked. "You kinda zoned out a little there. Is everything alright?"

"Fine. Everything is perfectly fine." I responded hypnotised by his beautiful eyes.

"Okay, then let's get going. You must be starving." He said as we made our way to the car. "While I'm driving I want you to keep your eyes closed okay? I want it to be a complete surprise, so you can't peek until I tell you to open your eyes. Remember, I am a vampire and I will know if you sneak a quick look."

I nodded and hopped in the car excitement building in the pit of my stomach. I was eager to see the surprise. The car ride was quiet except for the music of the radio playing softly in the background. I wasn't sure how long we were driving but I soon felt the car come to a stop.

"We are here. Don't open your eyes yet. Now I'm gonna put this blindfold over your eyes to make sure you can't see anything." He said as he slipped a silky piece of cloth over my eyes. I couldn't help but to feel at ease, even though I had no idea where I was, one of my senses had been taken away from me and I was in the company of a vampire who had previously tried to kill me. There definitely was something wrong with me.

"We just need to do a little walking and then we will be at our destination." I could hear the smile in his voice, as he took hold of my hand and guided me towards the surprise. I felt I was about to explode with anticipation once we stopped.

"Can I take my blindfold off yet?" I begged.

"Just give me a minute." He chuckled. "Anyway, I thought you hated surprises. I'm surprised by your impatience, darlin'."

"I normally do hate surprises but not this one. Also, I'm not being impatient, I'm just eager." I retorted.

"Okay, everything's ready. You can take the blindfold off."

I slowly took the blindfold off and gasped at the sight before me. We were in a small field that I had never seen before. On the floor a big blanket was laid out with a picnic basket surrounded by candles. It was so romantic and perfect, I was unable to stop the tears welled up in my eyes.

"I know it's not some fancy restaurant but I hope you like it just the same." He said, his eyes trained on the floor.

"Are you kidding me? This is absolutely perfect. It's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." I whispered softly. I walked over to him and took his face in my hands. Staring into his eyes I brought my lips to his cheek. "Thank you."

With the biggest smile on his face he took my hand in his and led me to the blanket. Once we sat down he started to take out all the food for me. I couldn't help the smile on my face as I watched him.

"Esme made the food so it should be good. I wanted to make it for you but cooking really isn't my specialty." He chuckled uncomfortably. It was one of the most adorable things I'd ever seen.

"Well you know what they say, never let a man do a woman's job." I giggled.

Throughout the amazing three course dinner Jasper (well Esme) had prepared, conversation was light. Meaning there was no talk of the other two. We just talked about the Cullen's, Charlie, the future and the list goes on. It was nice to feel care free for once. No one was trying to kill me, I wasn't stressing about my wedding, and I didn't have to deal with our crazy ex's. All in all, life was good.

"I think it's time we pack up and get you home, angel." Jasper said affectionately.

"Do we have to? Can't we stay here for another hour?" I groaned, enjoying this time with him too much.

"It's already 10 o'clock. Charlie will kill me if I keep you out any later. I really want to try and stay in his good books." He answered.

With a sigh I helped Jasper put everything back in the picnic basket. The butterflies returned with a vengeance when he laced his fingers with mine and kissed my knuckles as we walked back to the car. Once we were at the car he held my door open for me and buckled my seat belt. His sweet, innocent gestures were driving me mad.

On the drive back to my house his hand was once again holding onto mine as he rubbed soothing circles on the skin between my thumb and finger. I was certain I was going to die from the butterflies pounding away in my stomach.

Before I knew it, Jasper parked up in front of my house and was walking me to my door.

"I had a really great time tonight. Just being in your presence makes it perfect." Jasper said serenely, looking deep into my eyes. Just one look in his beautiful golden eyes and I'm hypnotised.

"I had a really great time too. It was the best first date ever." I whispered as I leaned forward.

I felt complete once our lips met and slowly moved together. I opened my mouth and allowed his tongue entrance. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his went to my waist as our tongues danced unhurriedly together. It was the perfect kiss to end the perfect date.

After a few minutes, Jasper broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against my with his eyes firmly closed.

"Wow," he said as he gradually opened his eyes. "That was amazing."

"Yeah." Was all I said, breathless from our kiss. I reluctantly removed my arms from his neck but he didn't let go of my waist. Instead he pulled me in to a hug.

"I can't believe I have to wait about another 18 hours to see you again. It's not fair." He whispered into my hair. It wasn't fair.

"Well, maybe you don't need to wait 18 hours to see me." I said bashfully finding my shoes very interesting. "You could always come and stay in my room with me."

"Are you sure you wouldn't mind that?" He asked with a hint of enthusiasm in his voice.

"Of course. Go take your car home and then when Charlie has gone to bed you can sneak through my window." I said. I was so full of excitement; I was practically jumping up and down which made Jasper chuckle.

"Okay. I'll be back later." He replied and with one quick kiss he was gone. I leaned back against the front door with the biggest smile etched onto my face, thinking about Jasper.
