Disclaimer: I own nothing : ( but the plot line in this story!

Enjoy! :D

EPOV

Thank God she said yes! Now where to take her? There are plenty of ice cream places, hmmm.

"Bella, where would you like to go? There are restaurants we could go to for ice cream, there a plenty of ice cream shops too. Any preferences?" After I asked I just sat and waited a few moments for a response. While I waited I noticed her biting her lip while thinking about my question.

"Umm… I don't care, where is your favorite place for ice cream?" She finally answered. Now I have to decide? Geez, usually the girls are all for making the decisions, this is new for me.

"How about we go to the Stone Cold Creamery? They have really good ice cream, and you can get candy added to it, it is amazingly good!" I start to gush too much, and decide to just leave it at that. I heard her beautiful laugh at all my talking.

"That sounds great Edward, as long as they have something with peanut butter I am good!" She exclaims getting all excited, I just laugh at her excitement, she must really love peanut butter. I need to remember that.

"So Bella, would you like to play 20 questions? That way we can kind of get to know each other a little bit." I asked her. I hope she wants to play there is so much I want to know about her!

"Sure, let me just call my dad and let him know that I am going for ice cream so he doesn't get too worried." She says as she pulls her cell phone out of her pocket. I have to remember to get her number before this night is over.

"Hey dad….Yeah, dinner was great, Esme is so nice…..Yeah I told her thanks….Well I had a little accident….no I am fine, you know me I trip over thin air…..Yeah, just a few stitches…..Oh Dr. Cullen did it at the house, but when I woke up he was already gone….Yeah I will tell him….Oh dad the reason I called, I am going to get some ice cream with Edward…..No I won't be too late…okay, yeah love you too….bye dad." I heard Charlie laughing at a few times while talking to Bella; she seems to have a good relationship with her father. I just sit there and smile, we still have about another 15 minute drive till we reach the ice cream shop.

"So you ready for the game?" She asks while blushing, she seems nervous.

"Yeah, I will go first," I say with the biggest smile on my face.

"What is your full name?"

"Uh, it is Isabella Marie Swan."

"Okay it is your turn now," I tell her as I touch her hand to get her attention.

"Okay, what is your favorite color?"

"Oh that is an easy one. It is blue. Okay, what is your favorite color?"

"Green!" She blurts that out and then starts to really blush, I wonder why? I just chuckle at her and wait for her to ask the next question.

"What is your full name?"

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen," I tell her and turn to get a quick glance at her face.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I ask her and then quickly regret asking her because her face fell instantly.

"Yes and no.," I was shocked; I wonder what she means by that.

"What about you do you have a girlfriend?"

"At the moment no, we just broke up a few weeks ago," She looked happy for a minute and then went back to being sad, this is not the way I was hoping this would go.

"What did you mean by yes and no?" I asked her without even thinking about it.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I say quickly and gently , but I hear her laugh a little, that has to be a good sign!

"No, it's okay. Jake and I have been together for about a year and when I told him I was moving he got really upset. I walked out on him and he has called me every day since, and that was three weeks ago. I kind of want to start over here, you know, not be tied down to someone so far away. Jake was and is one of my best friends, but I think I am just avoiding his calls to avoid the inevitable. I'm sorry that you just broke up with your girlfriend, what happened?"

I couldn't help but get a little jealous of this Jake guy, he was with her for a year! Well at least she seems okay with them not being together, but it sounds like she misses him though. Oh God what should I tell her about Jessica?

"Well, Jessica is a bit of a slut. I told her I wasn't going to sleep with her because I am just not ready for that step, well she got pissed, and I do mean pissed! A few days later I caught her with one of our friends. I flipped and ended it right there. She has been trying to get back with me since that day, I want nothing to do with her." As I tell her I see her eyes kinda bug out of her head, I just continued on with my story.

"My family hated her anyways, so I guess it is a good thing now. Besides there may still be some good to come of it." I say the last part while giving her a huge smile. I am such a dork!

"Um…Edward, do you mind if we go get the ice cream, we have been sitting in the car for the past ten minutes." She tells me with a laugh, I look up and didn't even realize we pulled in.

"I'm sorry, yeah lets go get some creamy and sugary goodness," I said with a laugh and hurry around the car to open her door. I instantly grab her hand, and as soon as I feel the shock I go to release it, but she just holds on to it. I smile at her and open the door to the ice cream shop.

"So Bella, what will it be?" I ask her as she is just gazing at all the selections that they have, plus all the different kind of candies and toppings they can mix with it.

"Um…I really don't know, it all sounds so good! I think I may just get the peanut butter ice cream with the Reese cups mixed in along with some fudge chips. Yeah that sounds really good!" She goes up to the person and orders her ice cream. I walk up behind her and stop her from paying.

"Come on Edward, let me pay for mine!" I just shake my head and she pouts. Damn she is so sexy sticking that bottom lip out. What I wouldn't give to kiss her right now!

"C'mon C'mon don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out"

Bella reached into her pocket and grab her cell before the song continued. She got upset really fast. She read the text and look like she wanted to cry.

"What's wrong Bella?" I ask with caution.

"Oh, it was just Jake. He dumped me. Said that since I refuse to answer his calls then it is over between us. I know this is what I wanted I just didn't think it would hurt so much, I mean he is my best friend, I don't want to lose that, I hope we can still be friends, do you mind if I give him a call real quick?" She asks, I am not going to say no, but I am hurt. I just shake my head and she gets up to walk outside to call Jake. I just sit there and stare at her out the window. Her face is getting so red, and she looks like she is starting to cry. By the look of her body and her face she is pleading with him. I grab our ice cream a few napkins and go out to wait with her. She looks up at me and gives me a sad smile.

"No Jake, you listen, we have been friends for years, and I told you when we started dating that if it didn't work out that we had to agree to stay friends….Come on Jake, you hurt me when said that long distance relationships never work, that I was going to cheat on you the first minute I stepped out of the plane….You can't apologize anymore, I was ignoring your calls for a reason Jake, I think I want to start a new life here, but I would love if I could just have my best friend back…I know you are hurting Jake, but it really is for the best….You know I love you too….Always with me Jake, don't let this pull us apart, when we are around each other it's as easy as breathing….okay sure, come visit soon, Charlie would love to see you!... okay bye Jake."

As she hung up the phone I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. I look up at her and she is now smiling.

"I brought the ice cream out with me you looked upset, and I thought maybe you wouldn't want to go back inside," I handed her the ice cream and I started to walk to a picnic table. She followed me silently and sat down beside me.

"I'm really sorry about that. Like I said I wanted to break up with him, but never do I want to lose him as a friend. I have known Jake since I was born. His dad and my dad were friends, they moved to Phoenix after his dad got sick, that way he was closer to a better hospital, after him being there for a few months we started to get really, really close, and I told him that if we started dating that no matter what we would still be friends, I miss him. He was like my own personal sunshine when I was by myself. I told him everything. I am going to miss him, not seeing him everyday…." After that she started to cry, I just put my arm around her and pulled her close to me. She fit perfectly. She climbed onto my lap. I got an instant hard on. Man this is not good. She lifted her head and laughed a little, making it that much worse. I groaned and she just laughed harder.

"Okay, Bella I think that is enough torture," I say fake scolding her. She just pouts and jumps off my lap and then continues to eat her ice cream.

"You know Edward, I think that you are very sweet, nice…and sexy." Bella is blushing like crazy as she says this and I am just shocked that she is telling me this. I don't know what got into her. As she starts to lean forward I start to panic, my heart is racing, my palms are sweating, and she keeps getting closer and closer, I just say fuck it and close the distance between us. The kiss is sweet and passionate. Her lips are so soft and perfect. I let my tongue trace her bottom lip begging for entrance and she allows her mouth to open slightly, and the kiss deepens. I don't know how long we kissed, but it was awesome. She pulls back and blushes like crazy and we are both trying to catch our breath.

"Edward, I am so sorry, I don't know what came over me, yeah I like you, but I just broke up with Jake….I'm so so so, " I put my hand over her mouth and just smile at her.

"Bella, please don't apologize, I have been wanting to do that since yesterday, I understand you are confused, and please take all the time you need to figure things out. I like you too Bella please don't feel bad, that kiss was absolutely amazing," I said, hoping I comforted her. I just looked into her eyes. I could get lost in them.

"Thanks Edward, can we just keep this between us for now? I mean I need a little time, I liked spending the day with you and had so much fun, even though I got stitches. You are great, and I want to see if there is anything more, but I don't want you to be a rebound guy. I will just need some time okay." She just looks at me through her eyelashes and I want to kiss her again, but I just smiled and told her that she has to do what she has to do and that I won't say anything.

"I think we should head home, it is starting to get pretty late. We do have school tomorrow." I tell her as I open the door for her to get into the car. She just looks up at me and smiles.

"Oh yeah, lovely school, I am so nervous! I hope not everyone hates me, but knowing all you will help me a lot. Thanks for everything tonight, I had a great time Edward." She is still smiling and I just tell her anytime.

"Do you need a ride to school tomorrow?" I asked her as she starts to get out of the car.

"um… sure that would be nice, here is my number, give me a call or text tomorrow." She writes the number down on a napkin and hands it to me, she leans over the console and gives me a kiss on the cheek. Now it's my turn to blush!

"Thanks again Edward, I will see you in the morning." With that she closes the door and walks toward her front porch. She turns and waves before entering the house.

As soon as she is gone, I grab my cell phone and program her number into my phone. I then pull out of the drive way and head back to my house in a daze. That was the best night of my life! I grab my cell and send Bella a quick text.

"I had so much fun tonight, thanks. - E-

A few minutes later I get a reply.

"So did I, can't wait to see you in the morning : ) - B-

That made me smile and I was happy for the first time in a few weeks.

"I will pick u up around 7:30. - E-

"okay. Night Edward. - B-

After that last text I feel asleep and couldn't wait until tomorrow!
