Dateless Nights

BPOV

"Hey, Bella, do you want to go shopping with me?" Jessica asked. "I need to get a couple new pairs of shoes."

"Sorry, Jess, I'm busy tonight," I said.

I was waiting for Edward to join me when Mike came up behind me. "Bella, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date tonight."

"Uh…I'm busy tonight," I said quickly.

"Well, what are you up to?" he prompted.

"It's Edward's and my music night. Every Friday we hang out. Sorry," I mumbled. I truly wasn't sorry, but cruelty just wasn't my game.

"Well…call me later!" he mumbled turning a deep shade of red. I stayed silent. "Or, I can call you."

"Excuse me, but that is my seat," Edward's musical voice rang out. I felt a wave of relief as he took a seat nest to me. Mike huffed and stormed away from the table.

"Bella, I know that was Mike. I want you to go out with him tonight and have a good time. There is no reason for you to go out on a Friday night."

"I don't want to go out with Mike. I would rather spend every Friday night of my life with you than go on one date with him." I argued.

A grin lit up Edward's face, and I was glad he couldn't see me blush.

"I refused to have you hog Bella all to yourself, Edward." Alice grumbled. "Tonight, we all are having a music festival party!"

Bella went home that evening to prepare for our "party." I waited patiently for her to arrive. I heard a car pull up and hoped that it was Alice and Bella.

"The party has arrived!" Alice called.

I rushed out of my room to be greeted by a warm hug. Her hair smelled like sweet strawberries and freshly picked freesias.

"Music time!" Alice exclaimed. "I have six whole play lists set up for us tonight."

The Beatles' music calmed the house with its notes of love and peace until everyone was drunk on music. The last song came on, and both Bella and I recognized it at once.

Clair de Lune filled the quiet room, and I made my way to stand. "May I have this dance?" I asked Bella.

"I would be honored," she replied quietly.

Her warmth wrapped around me, and I was in heavenly bliss. I pulled her in tight, and we simply swayed back and forth until Alice shut the music off.

"Time to play a game!" she yelled.

"How about spin the bottle?" Emmett asked.

"That's too childish. Let's play…Truth or Dare!" Rosalie said excitedly.

We gathered in a circle.

"Emmett, truth or dare?" Alice asked.

"Dare!" he exclaimed.

"I dare you not to touch Rose in anyway," Jasper chimed in.

Bella giggled, and I assumed that Emmett's face must have priceless.

"Bella!" Emmett shot back, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare," she said slowly.

"I dare you to kiss Edward," he laughed.

I froze and felt blood rush to my cheeks. The tension increased as I felt Bella lean towards be. Her smooth lips touched my cheek for only a short moment, but I was desperate for more. I quickly but delicately cupped her cheek and pressed my lips gently to hers. Alice gasped quietly. I quickly dropped from Heaven to Hell when I noticed she wasn't responding.

I released her suddenly and rushed off to hide in my room. I touched my lips and remember how soft hers were. At least I could say that a girl's lips touched mine before I die.

Focusing on the soft kiss, I fell into a light uneasy sleep.

I heard the door creak open. Bella's warm scent washed over me as she crawled next to me. I did my best to act asleep. Her lips ghosted across mine.

"If only you knew," she whispered softly in my ear.

With a finally kiss on the cheek, she snuggled into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in closer. She sighed softly in contentment.

The next morning was extremely awkward. Bella and I didn't speak much, so Alice kept Bella all to herself. Actually, I didn't even get to say goodbye when Bella left the house after Alice and her returned from the mall.

The next day, Alice insisted on driving Bella, so I caught an uncomfortable ride with Emmett who stopped to pick up Rose.

"So, Edward," Emmett started. God, he sucked at small talk. "Why aren't you walking to Bella's house like you normally do?"

"Alice demanded that I let her today," I grumbled. "She wouldn't even let me ride in the car. Sorry about having to make you drag me along."

"No problem, bro," Emmett said chuckling.

At last, we made it to school. When I made it to class, I noticed that Bella was rather quiet. I hated myself at that moment. Damn it! I had made our friendship awkward…again!

"Bella," I started slowly, "do you want to come over and study for the geometry test with me?"

"Sorry, Edward, I promise Charlie I would cook him a special fish-stir fry."

Damn it! I cursed silently again.

"Spring break starts next Monday. Are you still going to come over for our Friday music fest?" I asked hopeful.

"I…I don't know if I can. I told Angela that I would go shopping with her for a prom dress. Erik finally asked her out after all this time."


Keep pushing it, Edward! The little voice told me. Denied twice is pretty bad. Maybe you should stick to playing piano for mom.

I had actually forgotten about prom. It wasn't until three weeks after spring break. I idly wondered who Bella would agree to go with. My heart yelled at me. Grow some balls and ask her you dumb ass!

The rest of the day went so slow I thought I was going to fall asleep in English. No one would have notice since I refused to take off my glasses.

I went home with Emmett and Rose again. My mind r effused to pay attention to the math I was cramming, but all I could think about was Bella's kiss.

I picked up my phone and pressed one. Bella was set to speed dial.

"Hello?" she answered stressed and rudely.

"Uh- I'll call b- back later," I stuttered before hanging up. I smacked myself in the forehead. Of course she didn't want to talk to me! Why else would she avoid me at school? She had probably asked Alice to take instead of me coming to her house everyday.

My phone rang snapping me out of my daydream. It was Bella. II had Alice set special ring tones for everyone. I sent her straight to voicemail. Five minutes later, my phone rang again. I decided to turn my phone off and let her leaveall the damn messages she wanted. My alarm screamed shrilly from my side table. I turned my phone back on so I could listen to the messages.


"Edward, please pick up your phone. Call me back."


"Edward, I'm sorry I snapped at you. I've been stresses lately. Please, call me back."


"What the hell is wrong with you, Edward Anthony Cullen? Are you bipolar or something?"


"Call me back."

She filled up my entire voicemail message box. Way to go, Assward. You just fucked up your relationship with Bella again.

Alice took me to school. When I asked her why she wasn't driving Bella, she didn't say anything. I couldn't wait to get to school. I could go and apologize to Bella a million times, and I could ask her to prom.

When I got to class, I found an unpleasant surprise. Bella wasn't here.

Just because Emmett doesn't go to school doesn't mean he can't drive Edward :~P
