Thanks so much for all the reviews. Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
"Which one Alice?" I asked holding up two shirts. One was a red tank top with a low 'v' neck and the other was a blue halter. Now I am not one to wear revealing clothing, let alone care about what I wear, but I had a date with Jacob Black! I want to make a good impression, especially if I want to go on a second date or maybe even be his girlfriend.
"That one." Alice said in a bored tone. She was facing me but her eyes were rolled to the ceiling and she was pointing to the light switch on the wall.
I looked at her a little irritated."You didn't even look at them!" She said nothing but rolled her eyes. "Alice what is the matter? You love to pick out outfits for dates." I cocked a eyebrow."Actually come to think of it, you just love to pick out outfits in general."
Alice sighed. "If I tell you, you'd be mad at me." she went to my closet and pulled out a red long sleeved turtleneck sweatshirt."Wear this."
"That?" I asked with disgust."Alice you wear more revealing clothes than that on a daily basis!" I smiled slightly and blushed."I want Jacob to want to go on another date with me. That won't happen unless I show a little something." I blushed to an even darker shade of red.
Alice huffed."I am not giving you that kind of outfit to be waisted on Jacob Black." She said his name with disgust."But," Her voice brightened."I will help you dress like that for your date with Edward."
I rolled my eyes."You are so bias. I don't see why you are all of a sudden hating Jacob Black. You never seemed to hate him before he asked me out. You are acting just like your brother." I faced her and tried to calm down."Now tell me what's wrong."
Alice crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one leg."I don't like you going on a date with Jacob Black."
I rolled my eyes."I kind of gathered that." I said sarcastically.
"Come on Bella!" She said throwing her hands up into the air. "Why can't you just give Edward a chance? You and him are made for each other. And I should know, I know you both very well and there is no one in the world that are a more perfect match than you guys."
I laughed through my nose."Like any one could ever know that. It's not like you know every couple in the world."
"That is beside the point. Why can't you just face the fact that you two belong together?"
"Ugh! Alice! You sound just like him. What? Do you two talk about me constantly?" I asked. She made a guilty face but I ignored it and continued my line of questioning. "Has he brain washed you into thinking that we belong together? Has he also brain washed you into hating Jacob Black? You never use to hate Jacob Black. Why can't you just be happy for me?"
"Bella just forget it." She scowled. She looked towards the floor and muttered something along the lines of."I tried Edward."
"What Alice?"
She looked up and said,"Nothing." She picked up the red tank top in my hand. "Wear this one." Her did a little smile and her voice sounded sad. She walked over to my desk and picked up her purse. "I got to go. Good luck." And before I could stop her, she was out the door.
---
There was a knock on the door at exactly seven o' clock."Shit!" I said. I wasn't even done doing my hair. I didn't want to be the kind of girl that makes their date wait forever before they can leave.
I heard the doorbell this time. "Dad can you get that?" I shouted from my bathroom to downstairs.
"Sure Bells." He called back.
When I was done straitening my hair which took just a couple minutes. I raced to my room and put on my black flats that completed my look of dark wash skinny jeans and red tank top. It's a simple outfit but I thought I looked good just the same. I quickly grabbed my cell phone, my purse, wallet and my black zip up hoodie. I gave myself a once over in the mirror before I went. Finally I was ready.
I walked downstairs to see Jacob Black and my Dad watching the Mariners football game.
".Go!" My Dad said while swiping his hand in the air like that gesture would somehow make the player run faster.
Jacob was sitting at the edge of seat holding the arm rests and saying "Come on. Come on!" When the player slid into the last plate and the guy in black and white stripes said it was safe, they both jumped up and shouted "YEAH!"
When they were done cheering I decided to make myself known. I cleared my throat and they both turned around. I looked at Jacob and saw a beautiful white smile against his tan skin. He had on a black button up shirt that was unbuttoned just a little bit on the top, black skinny jeans and casual shoes. He looked in a word- Hot!
"Hey Bella. You look gorgeous." He looked around the room swinging his torso side to side until he found what he was looking for. He picked up a red rose from the chair. He gave it to me and I tried my best not to blush but failing. I took the rose from him."Thank you so much Jacob! It's beautiful."
"Well let's get going." He walked towards me. "See you later Chief Swan! I promise I will try to get her home before midnight."
"Oh you're going to Port Angelas. If you are a half an hour late I will understand. There might be traffic and stuff. You two have fun!"
"Okay Dad." I turned around to hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek. "By Dad. I love you."
"Love you too Bells."
I turned towards Jacob and saw that he was offering his arm."Shall we Bella?" I blushed and giggled. I nodded my head eagerly. "Let's go."

We went to a familiar restaurant that made my heart race. He took me to the restaurant that was owned by Edward's family since 1901. I wanted to ask if we could go to another restaurant but we already had reservations and I didn't want to be rude.
When we entered the fancy restaraunt Jacob said to the hostess,"Table for Black."
The hostess looked at her list and smiled. She grabbed a couple menus and said,"Follow me."
She lead us to a beautiful table that was in a secluded place in the back of the room that was kind of dark with dim lights and a candle in the middle of the table.
We sat down and I immediately unwrapped my silver wear and placed my cloth napkin on my lap. "Hello my name is Becky and I'll be your server this evening. Can I start you out with something to drink?" She asked pulling out her pen and notepad.
"I'll have a pepsi please." Jacob said. He looked at me to signal it was my turn.
"A coke please." The hostess nodded and wrote our orders down."I'll be back with your bread and drinks soon."
When she was done we turned toward each other. "So Bella." Edward said."I am so glad that you agreed to go on a date with me tonight." He flashed me his award winning smile.
I blushed."Well I'm glad you asked me. If you don't mind me asking. What brought this on? To tell you the truth I didn't know you knew I existed."
He chuckled."Of course I knew you existed. I just didn't think a beautiful girl like you liked me. The day I asked you out I heard someone say that you like me, so I decided to take this wonderful opportunity to ask you out and get to know you better."
I blushed a shade darker."Who told you I liked you?"
"I overheard Alice Cullen say it to Edward." He said the last name with disgust. I chuckled. I like him even more already.
"So you hate Edward too huh?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said through laughing. "We've hated each other since the first day we met. We were natural born enimies. We always compete with each other. For some reason I thought you liked Edward and not me."
I cocked an eyebrow in confusion."Why?"
"Because Cullen is always going around telling people that you are his 'future wife,'" he air quoted. "And that some day you 'marry' him."
I rolled my eyes."Yeah he's been saying that since the day I remember."
"He also always chased away every guy that ever liked you. He tried to chase me away before I asked you out, but I didn't let him."
I smiled and place my hand on his."I'm glad."
He smiled at me and said that we should try to find something to eat. "Order anything you want." he said. I looked around the menu but found it either too hard for me to read or it sounded kind of scary to eat, like the seafood or eating a animal like lamb. I decided on mushroom ravioli.
Our waitress came back with our drinks and bread. "Are you two ready to order?" She asked pulling out her pen and notepad again. Jacob looked at me and I nodded my head. "I'll have the steak and potato's. Medium well." He said.
The hostess wrote it down it down then looked at me."Mushroom ravioli please."
She wrote my order down."I'll be back with that in a moment.
Jacob sipped his drink and then looked back at me."So Bella. What do you want to do after High School? I heard that you are very smart."
I blushed."I don't know. I think I want to be a teacher but at the same time write a book or something."
"Very cool." Jacob said.
"How about you?"
"Oh I already have a family business that makes good money. We own the auto repair shop in Forks, La Push, and here in Port Angelas."
"Wow that's awesome. So you're going to be a mechanic?"
He smiled."Yep."
"I'm jealous. I wish I knew more about cars."
"Maybe I'll teach you a thing or two someday." He said smirking. I couldn't help but here the suggestiveness in his voice. I blushed.
We talked some more about ourselves like what kind of music we liked and what our favorite colors were. We even asked more personal questions like why my parents got divorced so young and how his mother died. I saw that he was starting to get a little sad about telling this story and I leaned over to kiss his cheek to make him feel better. We locked eyes after I did that and I couldn't help but blush.
Suddenly we both heard a crash and saw our waitress on the ground with our food all over her. Jacob and I both rushed out of our seats and helped her get the food off her and help her off. When we got her up I looked up and saw familiar bronze hair running away out the door.
---
When the hostess came back once again she apologized for dropping our food and said the reason she dropped it was because of some lunatic shot up in front of her. My food had a heavenly aroma and looked delicous. Jacob laughed when he saw my eyes roll to the back of my head. It tasted even better than it smelled and looked
We shared a chocolate cake for dessert that tasted positively divine. When the bill came I watched him give the hostess his Dad's credit card, and when he had to sign for it I saw that his signature was slightly sloppy. But I didn't mind. Boy's handwriting was suppose to be sloppy. The only hand writing I've ever seen from a boy that was nicer than mine was Edward's.
After he was done signing the check he helped me put on my hoodie and we walked out the door to go home.
---
When we pulled up to my drive way I gave Jacob another kiss on the cheek."Thanks so much for taking me out on a date Jacob."
"My pleasure. I had a good time."
I smiled it excitement."Me too."
Jacob rubbed the back of his head nervously."Do you think that maybe you would want to go on another date?"
"Absolutely!" I said enthusiastically."I'll tell you when I am free."
"Great!" He said. He bent over and gave me a kiss on the cheek in return. I blushed once again that night. "See you Monday Bella."
I smiled and nodded. I turned away from Jacob and got out the door. I turned around and waved, watching him drive off.
I started to walk to my front door when I saw a dozen roses in a vase, in front of the door. I picked up the flowers and examined them. They all were absolutely beautiful and even had a spray of water on them. But then I noticed that only eleven were real and one was fake. I quirked an eyebrow at that when I saw a note.
I picked up the note and read:
I Will Love you , Until the Last Rose Dies
-Your Secret Admirer.
My heart raced in excitement. I had no idea who it could be. I bit my lip. I knew these roses weren't from Jacob, the hand writing was too perfect. I will have to ask Alice who she thinks they are from.
Review please!!!
