Disclaimer: I own nothing, it all

Ice Cream!

BPOV

I can't believe I actually agreed to this! This boy will be the death of me! I thought.

"Bella, where would you like to go? There are restaurants we could go to for ice cream, or there are plenty of ice cream shops too. Any preferences?" Edward asked and I took a few minutes to answer. I was really trying to think if this was a good idea at all! I don't think any good can come from this.

"Umm… I don't care, where is your favorite place for ice cream?" I finally answered him and he go this strange look on his face. Hopefully he knows somewhere good.

"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!" Edward gushed. It was kind of cute and I couldn't help but laugh at him as he was getting all excited explaining this place to me.

"That sounds great Edward, as long as they have something with peanut butter I am good!" Now I am excited? Over peanut butter and ice cream? He is going to think I am a freak! At least some good came out of my excitement, he is laughing.

"So Bella, would you like to play 20 questions? That way we can kind of get to know each other a little bit." Edward asked.

"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." I pull my phone out of my pocket to call my dad.

"Hey dad"

'Hey kiddo, how was your dinner? I hope it was good.'

"Yeah, dinner was great, Esmè is so nice."

'Please tell me you used your manners and told her thank you!'

"Yeah I told her thank you," I said rolling my eyes

'That's my girl, so what is up?'

"Well I had a little accident"

'You okay? Do I need to get to the hospital?'

"No I am fine, you know me I trip over thin air"

'So you are okay? No serious damage?'

"Yeah, just a few stitches"

'You went to the hospital and didn't call me? Isabella! You should have called!'

"Oh Dr. Cullen did it at the house, but when I woke up he was already gone"

'Well still next time it happens call me anyway please! And tell him thank you!'

"Yeah I will tell him. Oh, dad the reason I called, I am going to get some ice cream with Edward."

'Okay kid, have fun, but don't stay out too late. I love you Bells.'

"No I won't be too late, okay, yeah, love you too, bye dad." My poor father probably just about had a mini heart attack with that conversation, but next time I will call him. On the bright side he laughed about it and didn't call me a klutz and blame it all on me. It was an accident and I am glad he takes it as such. I look over and Edward has a cheesy grin plastered on his face. Hmmm wonder what that is about? I wondered, then suddenly remembered about our game.

"So you ready for the game?" I asked him and of course I start to blush! I get so nervous and the damn blush just gives it away.

"Yeah, I will go first." He says with the biggest smile I have seen on him yet.

"What is your full name?"

"Uh, it is Isabella Marie Swan."

"Okay it is your turn now." He tells me by touching my hand to get my attention.

"Okay, what is your favorite color?" I asked him the first thing that popped into my head.

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

"Green!" I just blurt out. Then of course my cheeks betray me. If I thought I was blushing before this is ten times worse! Edward gives me a curious glance and just chuckles at me.

"What is your full name?" I ask him.

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." He states quickly then gives me a quick glance. I wonder what that was that for? I wondered

"Do you have a boyfriend?" That would explain the glance he gave me. And before I knew it my face fell a little, while I think about Jake.

"Yes and no." He is shocked with that answer. I guess I will probably have to explain because he also seems very confused, but first I will ask him.

"What about you do you have a girlfriend?" I ask quickly.

"At the moment no, we just broke up a few weeks ago." Wow, so he is single! That is so awesome. But you have a boyfriend you dork wad, at least sort of anyways. That little voice inside my head told me. I suddenly felt a wave a sadness.

"What did you mean by yes and no?" He asks and he seems rather curious.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I am sorry I asked," He says rather quickly and he looks so afraid as to what I am actually going to say. I just start to laugh at him and he starts to relax a little bit more.

"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 wanted to start over here, you know, not be tied down to someone so far away. Jake was and still 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 explained about Jake and me. I truly miss him, but if he got that upset about me moving I knew it wasn't going to work out. Out of curiosity, and wanting to get off my former relationship with Jake, I ask him about his ex-girlfriend.

"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." I can't help my response and my eyes kind of bugged out. I couldn't believe he is this hot and has not been with a million girls.

"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." As he finishes his story he gives me big dorky grin, and I just laugh at him, he is too sexy for his own good even if he looks like 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." I told him laughing. He looks up and realizes we are here.

"I'm sorry, yeah lets go get some creamy and sugary goodness!" He said with a laugh and hurry around the car to open my door. He instantly grabbed my hand, and as soon as he did I felt the shock and he realized it soon after I did, but I just held on to it. He then smiled at me while he opened the door into the shop.

"So Bella, what will it be?" He asks me and I was just mesmerized by the number of selections and variations that were possible.

"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," I finally say after voicing some of my thoughts. I walked up to the counter and give my order and Edward stopped me from paying and said that it his treat.

"Come on Edward, let me pay for mine!" I begged pouting and I stuck my bottom lip out, hoping that I can win this and look sexy at the same time.

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

My phone began to ring and I reached in to grab it. It was a text from Jake. I read it and immediately started to tear up. I am being a bitch, I just need to explain things to him. I tell myself. He was and still is my best friend before all this shit and I don't want to lose that.

Bella I can't believe you are ignoring me like this! You are a ******* bitch and we are through! You can't just ignore me and expect shit to be okay! -Jake

"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asks with concern clearly showing on his face. Poor Edward, I will talk to him after I call Jake.

"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?" He shakes his head and I get up and walk out the door to call Jake.

'Bella, why are you calling this shit is over.' He screams at me through the phone.

"Jake, please let's not let things end like this," I begged

'Bella listen, I freaked out when you said you were moving, I know it wasn't right, but you shouldn't have left, and then you shouldn't have ignored my calls!' He is yelling at me and I lose it. I start to cry, I don't want to lose my best friend out of all this.

"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…" I start to yell and notice that Edward is there with the ice cream watching me.

'Bella I am sorry, I know you would never cheat on me, I was…' he started but I cut him off.

"You can't apologize anymore, I was ignoring your calls for a reason Jake, I want to start a new life here, but I would love if I could just have my best friend back."

'I am hurting here and it doesn't…' I cut him off again

"I know you are hurting Jake, but it really is for the best…" he cut me off.

'But I love you Bells!' he said begging.

"You know I love you too…."

'Please don't forget me…' he said sounding defeated.

"You are always with me Jake, don't let this pull us apart, when we are around each other it's as easy as breathing…." I reminded him, thinking of when we first met

'I know that is why it worked so well for a while. I will visit soon. I just need time now…' he said his voice trailing off.

"Okay sure, come visit soon, Charlie would love to see you!"

'Okay bye Bells.'

"Okay by Jake." I feel a little more relieved, but guilty at the same time. I am going to have my best friend, but I hurt him at the same time. I knew I would miss him terribly.

"I brought the ice cream out with me you looked upset, and I thought maybe you wouldn't want to go back inside, so here you go." Edward handed me the ice cream and we walked to the picnic table and sat down to eat.

"I'm really sorry about that. Like I said I wanted to break up with him, but never did 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. 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…." As I rambled on my words started to become less coherent as I started to cry. Edward put his arm around me to pull me close to him I fit perfectly in his nice chiseled arms. I could stay here all day. I then decided to climb onto his lap. I really was not thinking clearly because of all the things that just happened. After a few seconds I realized he was hard. I started to laugh and the movement made it worse and I heard a groan escape Edwards throat and that made me laugh harder. For someone who wasn't ready to take the next step with his ex-girlfriend, he sure gets excited easily.

"Okay, Bella I think that is enough torture." He said falsely scolding me and I just climbed off his lap like it is nothing and continued to eat my ice cream. I could make this even more torture for him, but he is being so nice, I think I will behave, for now.

"You know Edward, I think that you are very sweet and nice and sexy." I started to say and then realized what I was saying I began to blush like crazy. This night has done a number on me. Usually I do not gush like this! After saying all this, all I wanted to do is kiss him. I started to lean in closer. I am gauging his response he seems to be trying to figure things out, but eventually closes the distance. The kiss is sweet and passionate. His lips are so perfect and mine molded to his so nicely. He let his tongue trace my bottom lip asking me for entrance. I of course obliged and the kiss is deepened. I notice now that I was becoming very aroused. I am not sure how long we kissed but we pulled apart and my blush went to my hairline. Then I start to panic.

"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, " He puts his hand over my mouth and smiles at me and says,

"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, so please don't feel bad, that kiss was absolutely amazing." He said trying to comforting me. I really likes him and damn that kiss was amazing. I can't wait to see what could come of this, but of course I do need time to figure this out.

"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 fucking rebound guy. I will just need some time okay." I explained to him hoping he understood. I looked at him through my lashes and the look on his face shows he wanted to kiss me again and I surly wanted him to, but I have to think things through first.

"I think we should head home, it is starting to get pretty late. We have school tomorrow." He tells me as he opens the car door and I climb in.

"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." I told him smiling while I thought of the dreaded day ahead of me, but hopefully it isn't all bad.

"Do you need a ride to school tomorrow?" He asks just as I get out of the car. A ride would be nice, but is it too soon? Will people start rumors already?

"um… sure that would be nice, here is my number, give me a call or text tomorrow." I write my number on a napkin and hand it to him. I also lean over the console to kiss him on the cheek. Ah I can make him blush and damn it is hot.

"Thanks again Edward, I will see you in the morning." I say as I turn and head into the house. I just close the door and my phone goes off. I just smile as I read it.

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

That makes me smile. I send a quick reply.

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

Oh boy I am starting to fall already. I realized.I really couldn't wait to see him tomorrow.

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

"okay. Night Edward. - B-

With the last text sent I change my clothes and crawl into bed. I am excited about tomorrow, I can't wait to see what the new day brings!
