Chapter 9: The Date
"Edward, wait. What do you mean we'll have a breakfast date."
"Exactly that, we're going on a date, but you're eating breakfast," Edward said. He grabbed my arm, and walked out the door, with me running to catch up. Once we got to the Volvo, he shoved me in, and closed the door. In the next instant, he was sitting next to me, starting the engine.
"Edward, where are we going?" I demanded.
"You'll see," he smiled. I frowned, and looked outside the window. I hated when Edward wanted to surprise me, especially when the restaurant was guaranteed to be expensive. He chuckled.
"I think you're cute when you're mad at me," he said softly. I blushed.
"I'm not mad at you. I wish I knew where you were taking me."
"It's not a fancy restaurant. I've wanted to take you there for a long time, but I never had a reason to."
"Since when do you need a reason to do anything?"
"Everything I've done had a reason behind it. Most of the things were mistakes, like leaving you, twice. I left for Italy just as a precaution. I didn't want to rush things between us. You wanted to have a wedding, and I wasn't going to let anyone get in between that decision."
"That's really sweet, Edward."
"When I jumped into the water after you, all I could think of was, 'Please God, don't have this be the end. Don't let her die now.' " I looked up at his eyes, and they were on me. I threw my arms around him.
"Oh, Edward, that's the most romantic thing I've heard you confess."
"I thought I had better chance of saving you this time, because I saw you jump. When I was racing against time in Phoenix, there was always that possibility that I had to go to Italy." I winced. Flowing black robes popped into my head.
"It's okay, if you're ever hurt again, I know the right decision." He turned off the engine.
"We're here?" I asked in surprise. I looked out the window. It looked like someone's cabin.
"Yes," he laughed. "Like I said before, this restaurant isn't fancy."
"I didn't know this existed."
We went inside, and I gasped. It was exactly someone's cabin. They decorated it, and it looked so cute and homey. Edward squeezed me, and kissed the top of my hair. "Do you like it?"
"Yes, it's so cute."
"I'm glad you like it, because it's our home."
"What?"
"What else am I supposed to do when Alice sent me away? Jasper came up with the idea of building it, so Emmett Jasper and I were working on if for awhile."
"If this is what you did for a couple of days when Alice tortured me, it was almost worth it."
"Sit down on the chair. I want to cook breakfast for you."
I hope you liked this chapter. Thanks for all the reviews. I don't own anything, except for the cabin. R&R
