A/N: Hey hope you like the update! Thanks to everyone reviewing and favouriting and alerting me, I appreciate everything! :D


EPOV:

I thought about the classic date route, fancy meal, movie, that's what i'd've done for previous girlfriends, they lap that romantic shit up. But Bella's not like that, she different, unique, that's why I love her.

What? Love her? Don't get too ahead of yourself Masen. She might have uttered it in her sleep in the car, but she was obviously flustered from the flight.

Anyway, I'd thought so long, and so hard, to think of an idea for a date. With Bella.

Que girly squeal.

Crap I'm turning into Alice.

So when I got a leaflet through the mail yesterday morning about a new aquarium that's opened in Seattle, I knew this was the place to take my girl.

I'm actually pretty excited about going to an aquarium, I haven't been since I was 10 - I think - on a school trip. I was always fascinated by marine life. If I didn't make Cullen intl then that's what I would have been, a marine biologist. Or a doctor, I always fancied myself as one of them.

I sent Bella a text telling her I'd pick her up at 10am the next day. She responded quickly.

10 am! Why so early? Anything specific I need to wear? - B

I decided to call her, texting in this damn iPhone was a pain in the ass for my manly fingers. Especially when you're nervous.

She answered on the first ring

"Edward?"

"yeah it's me" I smiled "I just wanted to say wear casual clothes and comfy shoes"

"Huh? Please, Edward. Tell me where we're going! It's killing me!" I could almost hear her pout

"Nu uh girlie. It's a surprise!" I teased "I think you'll like it though, it'll take your mind of uhh other things" I said. Bella was still taking her mums loss hard, and it was killing me to see her be like this.

"Ok, well I hope it does, but Edward why are we even going on a date? I mean uhm I don't want to presume anything but... We've kissed and everything are we... Y'know?" I could picture her blushing violently

"Only if you want to, gorgeous. But I would" I said the last bit so quietly I wondered if she'd actually heard me.

I heard some clattering and Bella cursing under her breath

"Uh Bella are you alright?"

"yeah.. Y-you called me gorgeous, which I'm not... Not that I don't like it I-I love it"

"Oh crap sorry ...gorgeous" I smirked "any way, I have to go, the devil cat has just brought in a dead mouse."

I heard her giggle, bells to my ears.

"Haha! But wait! Edward!" she damn near shouted "if you call me...gorgeous, then um I want to call you something"

"well why don't you think about it and tell me when I pick you up tomorrow?" I suggested

"ugh and your still not going to tell me?"

"nope" I smiled popping the p.

*the next day*

I woke up unusually early considering I'd had nearly no sleep last night, and when I did sleep, I dreamt of Bella. Which would explain my erm problem this morning.

After having an extremely cold shower, I got dressed in the clothes that Alice told me to wear last night.

"wear the slim jeans and that really nice red Ralph Lauren polo I brought for you the other day, oh and converse!"

"I know how to dress myself Alice." I complained

"you'll thank me later" she chuckled down the phone. Freaky twin.

I looked at the clock, 9:45, oh man time flies quick. Better go and pick up my gorgeous girl, I thought. It felt so good being able to say that. Then I remembered that she'd wanted to give me a nickname last night, I wonder what it could be?

I got into my Volvo -a more suitable car than the vanquish, plus it had a whole tank of petrol and Seattle was 2 hours away- and drove to Bella's dads house.

Before I could even knock Bella opened the door a thrust herself at me. She was wearing tight grey skinny jeans, a flannel shirt and the same converses as me, only a lot smaller. She hugged me tightly, then kissed me sweetly.

"Nu uh gorgeous" I smiled watching her blush " not going to work, I'm still not telling you where we're going"

"Damn" she said shaking her head. Then her eyes lit up. "Oh! Edward! I couldn't think of a name last night" she said sadly, then grinned "so I decided I'm just going to say 'my Edward' so everyone knows that you. Are. Mine" she said peppering me with kisses

"Oh really girlie? Well we'll see about that" I growled tossing her over my shoulder, thanking my lucky stars Chief swan was at work.

"Ah! Edward! Put me down!" she squealed "And I'm not a 'girlie' I'm 19!" she laughed. I didn't. I stopped dead in my tracks, and placed her down.

"19?" I asked incredulously

"yeah is something the matter?" she asked looking genuinely concerned

"no no, it's just.. Well.. I'm 25" I said nervously tugging on my hair

"oh." she looked down "I don't care. I-I love you however, age doesn't matter" she stated. "your my first everything"

"you l-love me?" I asked dis belief coating my words

She blushed the most ferocious red I've ever seen "It doesn't matter" she barley whispered, turned on her heal and headed back for her house

I grabbed her hand forcing her to face me, then kissed every inch of her beautiful face.

"you silly insecure beautiful girl" I said , still kissing her "of course it matters, of course it does. I feel it too. I've wanted to tell you for ages now, how could I not love you? I was afraid it was too soon I've only known you for 2 months, but it's true!" I said. I placed her hand over my heart and said "it's yours Isabella, always."

Tears were streaming down her face by now, she rubbed them away with the back the hand that wasn't on my chest.

"are we going on this damn 'date' then... My Edward ?" she said sniffly. She was so beautiful.
