Chapter 2

EPOV

I climbed into my Volvo after the last Bell rang indicating school was over. As I was backing up out of my parking space I saw her. A vision. My Angel. Stop it Edward she's not yours.....yet. I could make her mine. She seemed to like me and god I loved her. Wait... slow down buddy, love? Did I love her? I have never felt this way about anyone before but I don't think I'm ready to love her yet. I really like her though. Never has a girl captured my interest the way Bella has. I did not love her but I was well on my way to falling incredibly and madly in love with this angel. She climbed into a huge jeep I immediately recognized as my brother Emmett's. Why was Bella riding in Emmett's car? Emmett couldn't be interested in Bella. He was too in love with Rosalie. There has to be a reason for her having my brother drive her to and from school. I shrugged it off and finished backing out. Stealing one last glance at Bella through my peripherals I sped out of the school parking lot towards my home. I had to go and plan the perfect date for Bella. I was the first one home. Not that that was a surprise. I flung the car door open and ran into the house looking for my mother.

"Esme?" I called out hoping to find what room she was in.

"Yes dear?" she called from the kitchen. I speed to the kitchen only to nearly crash into Esme as the met me at the door way.

"Whoa slow down tiger." she laughed.

"Sorry but I need help and fast." I said breathlessly.

"Edward Anthony Cullen what did you do?" she scolded.

"Nothing," I said as I held my hands up in mock defense. "I met the most amazing girl today. She's gorgeous, smart, shy, she's different." I said dreamily. Thinking of Bella made my bones melt and my heart speed up. God I sound like a girl. If Emmett heard me now he would never let me live it down.

"Sounds like someone is in love," she smirked. She had gone back to the island to continue making her peach pie. I blushed. I was very close to being in love with Bella. The more I thought about her the more I felt I loved her.

"I don't think I love her. I really like her. I'm close to being in love with her but I'm not there yet. So today I sorta asked her on a date. I know I'm not supposed to ask her yet, you know, because I just met her but I couldn't help it." I felt embarrassed for admitting all this to my mother. She looked at me sympathetically and placed her hand on my shoulder. I relaxed under her touch.

"What do you need my help for Edward?" she asked.

"I need help planning our date. I know I should be asking Alice to help but I kinda of liked the idea of us meeting before Alice had to much time to meddle. (That's for you dreamngo4it9) Bella is so unlike any other girl I've ever met I want to make it special for her."

"Do you know what kind of things she likes to do?" my mother asked as she made her way back to her pie.

"She likes to cook and read." Not that that answer was any help. What kind of date could you plan that revolved around books and cooking.

"Well why don't you find out what one of her favorite authors are and go buy her a book instead of the whole flowers and chocolate thing and then my friend Maggie has this restaurant in Port Angeles. You go to the restaurant and she gives you a lesson on how to make the special that night and you and your partner cook the meal and then you sit down at a table and eat it. If Bella likes to cook why don't you take her there?" I didn't know how Esme does this but I am forever in her debt. For the first time in years I jumped up and hugged my mother.

"Thanks mom. Okay I have to go call Alice now. Can you give me Maggie' s number?" I pulled out my cell quickly and scrolled through my contacts until I reached the pixie.

"Sure sweetie. Let me get it from my desk upstairs." She hurried out of the room and to that I was grateful. I pressed send and waited as it rang three times before she picked up.

"Edward this had better be good because you just interrupted a very hot make out session with Jasper." she spat into the phone.

"I need your help. I was talking to mom about Bella's and my date tomorrow and...." I was interrupted by a screech that could hurt even a dog's ear.

"OMG Bella didn't tell me you asked her on a date. Now I have to go get her an outfit and we need to do her makeup and hair and OMG the malls going to be closing in 4 hours. That is so not a lot of time." she went on and on.

"ALICE!" I yelled into the phone. "I really like Bella and I would appreciate it if you didn't interfere to much. You are allowed to go get an outfit for her but make it casual because heels and a dress would be very uncomfortable to the place I'm taking her."

"Where are you taking her?" she asked.

"To Maggie's but that's not why I need your help. I need to know what Bella's favorite author is." I said in an annoyed voice. Why was this taking so long to find out?

"Why do you need to know that?" she asked, clearly confused.

"I need to know because Bella's different and I think buying her one of her favorite books instead of flowers or chocolates would mean more to her." Seriously why was this taking so long.

"Okay can I give you to Rose? She knows more about Bella than I do." Why would Rosalie know more about Bella?

"ROSE!!" Alice screeched. God she is loud. I could hear her filling Rosalie in on my date.

"What do you need Edward?" Rosalie asked.

"I need to know who Bella's favorite author is."

"Jane Austin and Shakespeare. And I would recommend picking up and arrangement of wildflowers while your at it. Bella will flip at the book idea but every girl likes flowers even Bella." I love you Rosalie.

"Thanks Rose I owe you big time." I said gratefully into the phone.

"Yea you do big time." she laughed. "Now if you don't mind I have you hunk of a brother to get back to." she said eagerly.

"That's gross. A mental picture I definitely did not need to have." I cringed. Those two went at it like monkeys. She laughed.

"Bye Edward," she said then hung up. Okay so now that I found that out
I had to call Maggie's restaurant and make a reservation. As if she could read my mind Esme came into the room holding an address book.

"Okay Edward here's Maggie's number." she handed me the book opened and pointed to the number at the bottom of the page. I dialed the number and waited as it rang. Someone picked up.

"Hello this is Maggie's Cook it Yourself Grill how may I help you."

"Hello this is Edward Cullen I was hoping I could speak to Maggie."

"Hold on let me transfer you to her line." There was a beeping sound and then a women with an Irish accent picked up.

"Hello this is Maggie speaking."

"Hi Maggie this is Edward, Edward Cullen."

"Ohh hi Edward and what can I do you for?" she said.

"Okay so I have this date with this amazing girl and I want to make it really special. I was hoping that I could come a little early and picked out a private table and set somethings up. Only if this is okay to you." I said timidly.

"Of course it is. When will you be coming in early and when will you be coming in with ..."

"Bella. I will be coming in about 4:00 tomorrow to set things up and about 6:00 with Bella."

"Perfect I'll see you then. Say hi to Esme for me."

"Will do thanks Maggie." I said as I hung up the phone.

I went up to my room and settled into doing some homework. I finished my English paper around 10:00pm and decided to go to bed. As I lay in bed thinking about Bella I drifted off into a blissful sleep where Bella and I were together and happy.
