2. If you have any ideas for the story

3. How you liked the reconstruction.

EPOV

I still loved her.

BPOV

He wanted to work things out. Well, maybe he didn't love me, but at least he was giving me a chance! That's all I needed to hear, for now.

An awkward silence grew between us. I fidgeted with the hem of my top uncomfortably, which is my way of dealing with uneasy situations. Edward had a faraway look in his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought.

I looked up at Edward when I felt his gaze upon me. Sure enough those orbs of green were piercing me. We looked at each other for god knows how long.

Edward was the first one to break the silence.

"Bella, what do you want to do now?"

Before I said anything my stomach growled, giving him his answer.

I blushed, embarrassed. My hunger often tended to make unwelcome appearances.

"Looks like someone is a little hungry!" he teased.

I smiled. "Maybe." I replied.

He chuckled at this.

To my relief the light-heartedness in the atmosphere had returned once more.

"So, what do you want to eat?" he asked. "I know you're tired and you probably don't want you cook. What do you feel like having?"

"Anything is fine really" I said.

"How 'bout we grab something at the fast food joint" he asked.

"Fast food joint? Creative!" I scoffed.

"Sorry that we all can't be as creative as you" he retorted, stressing on the creative.

At that we began to crack up and I fell onto the floor laughing (my clumsiness also tended to make very unwelcome appearances.) That was until my stupid stomach gave another loud rumble. See? This is what I mean by unwelcome!

"Let's gets going" said Edward. "You sound like you haven't eaten in forever"

"Can't it wait?" I asked not wanting to get up from where I was sitting.

"Bella" Edward said, warningly.

"Fine" I sighed, as he pulled me up. I tried to hide the shiver of pleasure that raced through my body at his touch. I heaved my body up and stretched.

Before leaving I took another look at the work we had done to Edward's new room. It looked a lot looked his old one, back at Forks. A wave of nostalgia washed over me.

Edward had already gone ahead to the front door, which he was now holding open for me.

Ever the gentleman. I could see why I had fallen for him.

I smiled at him and he flashed back a grin of his own. We went to the parking lot of our apartment. I looked around for his old car, a used Mustang, but could find it no where.

I heard the beeping of a car as he pressed some button on his key chain. To my surprise the car that responded was a silver Volvo. I realized that he must have finally bought one just like he had always wanted. It was his ultimate car dream, but he could never afford one.

I guess money was no longer an issue, for a doctor of his caliber. He held the passenger's door open for me before getting into the driver's seat. The interiors were beautiful as well, done in a plush cream. I looked around the car, admiringly.

"Like it?" Edward asked. "I bought it with my first salary"

Damn, doctors were paid a lot!!

"It's very nice" I said.

"Very nice?" he repeated, sarcastically. "It's much more than very nice. Take a look at the engine's power. It's an engineering marvel!"

"Whatever, Edward. You know I'm not into cars. Maybe you should speak to Rose about this stuff. Unlike me she'll actually understand what you're talking about."

"Who's Rose?" Edward asked curiously.

"Rose McCarty is one of my friends" I said. "She works as a model, but her dream is to own a car studio."

"Car showroom" corrected Edward.

"Like I said, whatever."

He rolled his eyes but said nothing. We drove a little further till we reached a Mc Donald's.

I ordered a veggie burger, and a smoothie. Edward on the other hand ordered two cheese burgers and a large fries. For himself.

"Wow!" I said. "You sure eat unhealthy for a doctor!" I remarked.

"Aren't doctors allowed to slack off for a while?' he asked feigning hurt.

I couldn't help smiling at that.

Edward didn't let me pay for my meal, he insisted upon paying for it himself. I tried to pay him back but then stopped myself, knowing it would offend him.

Edward took chivalry to a whole new level.

We waited at the counter for our food to arrive. Our server, a vivacious redhead, nearly dropped her tray at the sight of Edward. She smiled coyly, handed us our food and gave Edward a huge wink, while simultaneously glaring at me.

Talk about multi tasking. Ladies and gentlemen, we just might have a new world record here!!

Edward of course ignored her entirely, causing her to send daggers in my direction once more. If looks could kill, I would be one very dead person right now.

We sat down at our table and began to eat.

"What are you thinking about" Edward suddenly asked me.

He had this unique ability to read people. He said he always knew the gist of what they were thinking about. I was, apparently, an exception. He said that I was an exception and that I never ceased to surprise him.

"I'm thinking about……." I trailed off, knowing full well that he would get annoyed.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked frustrated.

"I'm thinking about how glad I am that you ignored that girl!"

"Whom?" he asked confused.

It was my turn to get frustrated.

"Edward!" I snapped. "Surely, you are not oblivious to the fact that every female in this room is practically drooling right now!"

"I know, the food here is great…" he stopped, seeing my glare. "What?" he asked.

That boy is a beauty but sometimes he has the brains of a rock.

"Not because of the food, genius. Because of you" I said, emphasizing the 'you' part while poking him with a French fry.

He just shrugged.

"Whatever" I muttered, for the millionth time today.

He drove us back home and we went into my – scratch that- our apartment.

I was just unlocking the door when my phone began to ring. I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Alice.

"Hi Alice!" I said, answering the phone, while pushing the door open, and gesturing for Edward to go in.

"Hi Bella!" she chirped. "Guess what?"

"I won the lottery?" I asked.

"No." she snapped. "You didn't even enter the lottery, did you?"

"Umm… no but I read somewhere that the chances of winning a lottery are the same whether…"

"Stop messing with me, Bella" she nearly growled. "Anyway, what I called to say is that it's Rosalie and Emmett's anniversary today. They've invited us to dinner at some restaurant." she said

"Well, that's great but I think I'll pass. I don't want to leave Edward alone. Plus, I'm really tired." I said

"No! That's what I wanted to tell you. They've invited Edward as well. Ethan and I will be home in two hours so that we I can get you ready. And don't give me the whole 'I'm tired' crap. You're coming no matter what."

"Honestly Alice! It's Rose's anniversary not mine!!"

But the pixie had already hung up on me.

"I take it that you have plans for this evening" said Edward, while I glared at my phone.

"You do too" I said, simply. "Remember Rose? The car crazy friend I was talking to you about? It's her anniversary."

I told him about the dinner and he agreed to come. I went and plopped myself on the couch, and turned the TV on. He sat next to me. They were playing a 'Friends' rerun on the first channel I saw.

I giggled at their antics and I felt Edward shake with laughter beside me. I had probably watched this episode a million times, but it was still so funny.

Two hours must have passed by because I heard Alice fumbling with her keys at the door. She finally opened the door and came in with Ethan. I saw both Edward's and Ethan's eyes light up at the sight of each other.

I was amazed at how quickly they had grown to love one another. nOt to mention incredibly happy that they did.

"Hi Mommy! Hi Daddy" said Ethan.

I went to hug him while Edward smiled dotingly at his son.

"How was your day" asked Edward.

"Good" replied Ethan. "Aunty Alice and Aunty Rose went to some spa and Uncle Emmett, Aubrey and I played video games at the arcade."

Aubrey also shared Emmett's love for video games, much to Rose's dismay. "One video game addict I can handle, but two??" she always said.

"That's sounds like fun" said Edward causing Ethan to beam.

"Come, Bella!" said Alice. It's time to go get ready.

I groaned. I didn't try to argue though. That would be useless.

"First let me show you your dress" said Alice.

I hadn't noticed that she was holding a bag in her hands.

"I designed this especially for you" she said, pulling the dress out.

The dress was beautiful. It was electric blue, strapless and would come up to my thigh. (A/N: Links on profile)

"Go put it on" ordered Alice.

I went to my room and slipped on the dress. "Come in Alice" I yelled.

She was already changed into her dress. It was short, pink and strapless. So Alice! She sat me down on a chair and commenced my torture. Around 2 hours later she was done. I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw.

She had done my hair in soft waves and the ends were perfectly curled. She had kept the makeup natural, highlighting my eyes with mascara. All in all, she had done an amazing job.

"Thank you Alice!!" I said, to which she replied, "Anytime!!"

I was suspicious as to why she was dressing me up so much, but somehow I knew it was to impress Edward. She handed me a pair of sterling silver earrings, and I saw that she was already wearing a pair. I put it on and glanced at the clock. It was nearly 6.00. Time to leave!

Alice did her own makeup in less than 10 minutes!! That evil pixie!! I'm sure she prolongs my sessions just to annoy me.

Edward had meanwhile changed into a cream dress shirt over slacks. He looked WOW!

He had also apparently helped Ethan change and Ethan was wearing a miniature version of what Edward was. It was so cute!!

Edward and Ethan hadn't noticed that I was standing there yet. They were in their own world talking about some sort of car. I cleared my throat and they both looked up.

"Mommy you look pretty" said Ethan.

"No, she doesn't" said Edward causing my heart to sink. "She looks absolutely beautiful" he completed, making my heart rise all the way up again! I blushed (duh!!) and said, "You both don't look half bad yourselves"

"We try" said Edward, causing Ethan to laugh.

"Aunty Alice!! You look great too!" said Ethan causing her to beam. I'm telling you, Ethan was gonna be a real heartbreaker one day!! He's such a smooth talker.

We made our way down to Edward's Volvo as he had insisted upon driving.

He got into the driver's seat and I rode shotgun, while Alice and Ethan sat at the back.

Alice POV

I got into the back of Edward's Volvo (which looked great and all, but could never compare to my Porsche) and began to think hard.

I was so gonna get Bella and Edward back together. Those two were probably the most oblivious idiots I have met. They could have each tattooed their love for the other on their foreheads, but the other would still be blind to it.

Too bad I've got 20/20 vision. I could see their affection for one another so clearly. I'll think of some way for them to confess their undying love soon enough.

I suddenly had a strange feeling that this dinner was going to be a very eventful one.

You think I'm wrong?? Don't bet on it. Cause I'm Alice.

And I'm never wrong. Ever.

Remember to check out my profile for links to Alice and Bella's dresses and earrings.

This is the first time I tried APOV, so let me know if it was fine, or a total disaster.
