This is a little bit longer of chapter than I intended but I just couldn't find the right place to stop. Ready for the date?

R&R! Enjoy!

The Volvo speeds quietly along street lights. A few flashes of headlights passes by us occasionally but for the most part the road is quiet. Soft music croons in the background while his fingers brush across the back of hand bringing my thoughts back to early this evening

My eyes travel around the living room finding him relaxed back into the couch while Alice is talking a mile a minute. When I hear the words double date, I decide it's time to interrupt. I clear my throat and Edward quickly gets up from the couch and turns facing me. His eyes slowly roam over my body. He lingers a little where some of my thigh is showing below the dress. I shift my legs nervously and his head snaps up to mine.

His eyes are dark."You look gorgeous."

"Thank you."

I glance around him to say goodbye to Alice but she's already gone. I'm a little shocked but thankful for the privacy.

"You ready to go?" I ask him. He shakes his head and slowly stalks towards me. My breath catches in throat as he gets closer. When he finally gets to me he leans down skimming his nose over mine gently. His hands cup my face. "I can't wait." And with that he closes the little distance between us and softly touches his lips to mine. Once. Twice. He finally presses harder and sucks my lower lip into his mouth. My hands come up into his hair and my body instinctually curves itself into his. He tilts his head to get better access and fully kisses my lips swiping his tongue across my bottom lip. Without hesitation, I open my mouth to him and his tongue slides in. I moan loudly. Suddenly he pulls back a little to peck my lips a few more times.

He drops his forehead to mine still cupping my face. "You're entirely far too tempting."

I try to control my breathing before I speak. "And you're a tease."

He pulls back a little. "How am I tease?"

"Because I was just getting started." I whine.

He chuckles huskily. "I promise we'll have plenty of time later tonight. But right now we need to get going." I nod as he guides me out of the door. After locking up my apartment, he grabs my hand and intertwines his fingers with me.

It feels completely right.

"Bella?" His voice is low and soft.

"Hm?"

"What are you thinking about?" He asks.

I bite my lip feeling the blush across my cheeks. "The kiss back at my apartment." I look at him and he's smiling crookedly. He brings my hand up to his mouth and kisses the back of it twice.

We talk about anything and everything. Our favorite movies, shows and songs. He tells a few stories from his childhood and some really funny ones about him and Jasper. I tell him about some of my accidents and show him the scars.

"Charlie threatened to make me the sister to bubble boy once. Of course I had to look up bubble boy after that since I had no idea what he was talking about."

He smirks. "You never saw bubble boy?"

"No, Renee wasn't much of a movie watcher when I was growing up."

"You're parents are divorced?"

"Yep. Since I was two."

"So you lived with your mom?"

"Until I was fifteen. Then that last summer I went to visit Charlie, he got hurt. I decided that he needed me and moved to Forks." I laugh a little. "I hated it at first. So much cold and rain. I missed the sun. Now when I visit my mom in Phoenix the heat is suffocating." He laughs with me. "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Your parents together?"

"Oh, yeah they've been together since they were in college. My dad, Carlisle, he went to Dartmouth. That's where he met my mother, Esme."

I nod soaking up as much information as he'll give me. He tells me the story of how they met and how sickeningly in love they still are.

He has a sister, Rosalie who is married to his best friend Emmett. "Wasn't that weird?"

He shrugs. "Not really. You have to know them to understand. They just went together."

We are interrupted as the car starts ringing making me jump in my seat. I look at the touch screen and realize he's getting a call. He looks at me apologetically and then answers.

"Hello?"

"Edward honey are you busy?"

He looks at me and winks. "Yes I'm on a date. Say hello to Bella."

"Oh goodness. Hello Bella, I'm very sorry to interrupt."

"Hi, Mrs. Cullen. It's okay."

"Edward, Rosalie and Emmett are heading to the hospital." She sounds tense.

"Already?" He looks a little pale under the moonlight.

"Everything okay?" I whisper. He shrugs.

"Can you meet us there? I feel awful about your date but you can't stop these things." She laughs a little but it definitely sounds anxious.

"Sure mom. I'll see you there, bye."

"Bye son, love you."

"Love you."

He hangs up and gets into the median turning around. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Is everything okay?"

"If this was two months from now, sure." I frown confused. "Rosalie is pregnant... but she's only seven months along."

"Oh no."

The car picks up noticeable speed has he heads back towards my apartment. "Wait! Just go to the hospital in case something is wrong. If everything is alright you can bring me home or I'll take a cab but don't waste time because of me." He starts to protest but I slap a hand over his mouth. "Do it." Edward licks the palm of my hand and I jerk my hand back slapping his arm.

As we get closer to the hospital I try to keep him laughing instead of thinking about his sister. I tell him the story of how I had almost set a church on fire at thanksgiving when I was fourteen.

"I tossed a napkin at someone and it landed on a candle. So what do I do? I grab it and fling the thing into the air. It lands on a paper turkey. They were nice about it but needless to say we didn't get invited back."

He's still laughing when he gets another call. Edward immediately sobers up and answers. "Something happen?"

"False alarm." Esme sounds relieved this time.

Edwards shoulders slump in relief as well. "Good."

She's quiet for a minute but then she speaks hesitantly. "Rosalie and Emmett are heading back to their house but your father and I wondered if perhaps you two would like to join us for dinner?"

"Mom–."

"It was just a thought. Go have fun." Esme says sweetly.

Edward stares ahead for a moment and then glances at me. Once again he looks apologetic. "Do you mind?" He mouths. I shake my head no. Surprisingly enough I mean it. I don't mind meeting his parents. It's a little soon considering it is our first date but I am okay with it. Edward tells her okay and Esme sounds so happy that it makes me smile.

"You didn't have to say yes." He says when he hangs up.

"I'm glad I did. I'm a little nervous but it'll be okay." I grab a hold of his hand.

We arrive at the restaurant and my nerves start to kick in. I'm actually meeting his mother. She sounded sweet sure but what if that was just a ploy to get me here and verbally destroy me deeming me unworthy of her son.

We walk inside and he takes care of talking to the hostess while I start to hyperventilate. He squeezes my hand as we walk back to the table. "Hey, its fine. Don't be nervous, they'll love you." He whispers.

I nod and concentrate on walking. The last thing I need is to trip in front of them. We arrive at our table and I immediately want to leave. Sitting across from us are two very beautiful very young looking people that couldn't possibly be his parents staring back at us.

She smiles brightly at us as she stands up. Esme gracefully walks around the table and hugs Edward first. "Darling, don't you look handsome." The tips of his ears turns red. How adorable I never noticed that before.

"Thanks." He mutters and takes a seat after giving his dad a quick hug.

"And you must be Bella." His mother says.

I smile and nod. "Nice to meet you."

"I'm Esme and this is my husband Carlisle. Lovely to meet you as well." She embraces me in a hug, and I immediately relax.

Esme pulls back a little only to wrap a motherly arm around my shoulders. Her eyes twinkle and she looks at Edward. "I want to apologize to both of you for interrupting your date. Had I known I would have waited to be sure it was time before I called." Oh, Edward. She just called you out.

He realizes this as well and grits his jaw slightly. "It was our first date. I didn't feel the need to say anything just yet."

"Oh." Is all she says.

Quietly we move to our chairs and order drinks. Edward and his parents immediately go into a deep discussion about something so I sit back trying to stay out of it. A song comes over the speakers and I start humming it in my head trying to figure out what it is. I must have started humming out loud because I feel three pairs of eyes on me.

Esme is trying to be polite and not laugh but her eyes are amused. My cheeks and neck inflame bright red. "Sorry." I apologize. "It's the song playing in the speakers.

She smiles. "It's very catchy. What's it called?"

I shift in my seat embarrassed. "Uh, Get Lucky."

She nods no longer holding back her laughter. "Good song."

Oh God. Why did it have to be that song? Edward leans over and whispers in my ear. "Trying to tell me something?" He's shaking with silent laughter.

I discreetly flip him off. "Now I know you are." He puts an arm around my chair chuckling. I reach for my wine, but then think better of it and grab the glass of water chugging it.

Thankfully dinner passes without anymore embarrassing situations and the food is delicious. Esme and Carlisle insist on paying, and we agree to do dinner sometime soon so I can meet Rosalie and Emmett.

When we get in the car Edward is quiet. Although he holds my hand he doesn't say much until we get back to my apartment.

I don't even ask I just open up my door and drag him in. "Okay what's wrong?"

He smiles slightly. "This whole night didn't go anything like I had hoped. I certainty didn't expect you to meet my parents on our first date."

"I told you it was okay. They were great." I bring him to couch and sit down with him.

"They really like you." The nagging feeling that I had made a bad impression dissipates. We cuddle on the couch for a little bit. I feel utterly content.

The light feeling of his hand barely ghosting across my thigh catches my attention. I twist slightly to look at him but he captures my mouth with his. Wasting no time, I open my mouth and feel his tongue glide in. My hands go to his hair lightly tugging. His hand starts stroking my thigh, slightly going under the bottom of my dress and his other hands cups the back of my head. We get lost in each other for what feels like hours. Eventually we slow down and kiss each other lazily.

"It's late, I should probably go." He whispers still kissing my lips.

"Okay." I pull back but he brings me back to his lips. We kiss a few more times and I slide out of his grasp to stand up. Grabbing his hand, I pull him over to the door. He wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck. Two more sweet kisses and he sighs pulling back.

"I'll call you tomorrow okay?" Edward tucks some hair behind my ear and twist the door handle.

I agree smiling so big I feel ridiculous. "Bye."

"Bye sweetheart." I turn to mush a little at the endearment. One last peck and he's gone. I close the door leaning back against it happier than I've ever been.
