Please review with ANY ideas, improvements or comments, good or bad, I am dying to know what you all think. Many thanks fellow Twilighters!

This is a bit slow to begin with, but it gets better as I write more of the story! (Well, I Hope!)

I thought this chapter would be nice, sort of a reassurance to Bella, even though she knows Edward loves her, she still doesn't feel quite right next to him!

Sorry about the chapter length...but I thought it would be better than really long ones!

All Bella Point of View

Whilst we were speeding down the busy highway Edward and I cheerfully hummed along to Debussy, Edward more than me as he knew the song inside out. But we suddenly sped past the exit that led to Forks "Hey" I cried out "Edward you just missed the exit!"But he just grinned and replied;

"I thought we would take a small detour first" So I was patient whilst I waited to see where my fiancée was taking me, to discover he took the turning for Port Angeles, I mentally debated where on earth we could be going there, there wasn't much we could do, unless we were visiting someone but that was unlikely as we didn't know anyone that lived in Port Angeles. I eventually succumbed to my curiosity and again fell into silence and waited patiently. I was still bemused, even when we were in Port Angeles itself, driving along a familiar street that I recognised as the street that I had walked down with Angela and Jessica almost three years ago, although it felt like a century. As sudden wave of inspiration hit me as we pulled into the next street and I noticed the restaurant I had eaten at with Edward that same night.

"Are we going in here?" I questioned, perplexed as to why, we rarely ate out because I felt uncomfortable with eating in a public place when Edward wasn't, I felt almost guilty that he couldn't join me, though he always reassured me that he preferred a more 'acquired' taste. "Yes" he smiled as he held the heavy, wooden door open for me and stepped through. The waitress that stepped forward to greet us I recognised as the poor girl that had tried desperately to be noticed by Edward last time, her black hair was some-what longer now and pulled up neatly into a loose ponytail, straightened intensely, she smiled warmly as she recognised Edward and was obviously very happy that tonight she looked more matured and beautiful, if it was possible, than the night she had first met us. As she lead us automatically to a partitioned booth on the far side of the large room, and she seemed to become more jolly with every step she took, was she weighing her options, wondering if she could stand a chance with Edward again? But I felt confident that I looked like I belonged with Edward tonight as Alice had 'pampered' me this morning, dressing me in a floaty white skirt and a baby pink t-shirt and then graciously piled my newly curled hair on my head, I had to admit that I looked rather nice. But my thoughts were interrupted when she asked what drinks we would like to start off with, and I realised that we were seated at a table, although I didn't remember sitting down at all.

"A coke please" Edward answered simply, careful not to break his gaze with me, yet his smile was dazzling and I wondered how the girl hadn't fainted yet."Bella?" he quizzed

"Another coke please" I answered hoarsely, where had a sore throat come from? And she skipped off, delighted to see that mesmerizing smile of Edwards' again. We looked at each other for a while without talking, silence was comfortable around Edward, and he was occupied with his thoughts. His gentle laughter broke the silence, though it was only loud enough for us to hear. "What's wrong" I asked, but he continued so I kicked him under the table, regretting it immediately, "Cut it out Edward, what's up?"

"Sorry Bella" he replied, now composed "I was interested in what our dear friend Amber was thinking, and I guess I found it amusing and listened to more than I should have, but don't worry. I will behave now" he smiled his crooked grin, who could refuse that?

"Edward, why are we here" I asked with a sigh, he knew how much I hated surprises.

"I thought we could talk" he replied, great! "I know you will protest Bella, but I really think you need to go and sort things out with Charlie" he hesitated for my reaction but there wasn't one, I didn't really know what to say, I wasn't expecting it to come up, why I didn't know as it had clearly been playing on Edward's mind since this morning. a gentle growl emerged from my chest, enough to make Edward realise that I wasn't ready to discuss the matter further but still quiet enough that only we would hear it. "With the wedding closing in on us Bella I really don't want you and your father on bad terms, it will be hard enough leaving him soon as it is, but if you don't salvage any time you have left, you will regret it" he warned but in a soothing voice. I considered what he said, he was right, it would be extremely hard to leave Charlie soon, and I wasn't making it any easier. It only took a few more minutes of gentle persuasion to convince me that it was the right thing to do. Edward was such a cheater, he knew he could dazzle me into getting his own way, granted it wasn't as strong as when we first met, but it was enough! Not long had passed before I was finished, I had a spicy pasta dish with a cheesecake to finish, Edward of course passed on dinner, his caramel eyes were creamy and so he was satisfied. After paying the bill, we sauntered quietly out of the restaurant, leaving all female staff in the restaurant clutching at their chests for breath after seeing Edward, as we had sat tucked away; his beauty had been concealed, and headed back to the Mercedes.

The trip back to Forks was uneventful; we talked about nothing in particular, but as we neared the Cullen house a saw a slight smirk materialize on the corners of Edwards perfect lips, what now? But I found out soon enough when fairy lights appeared, hanging from the trees surrounding the Cullen's driveway, leading all the way to the white house at the end of the track that I knew so well.

"W...O...H...?" was all I could manage, I was astonished but Edward parked up outside the converted barn, now a garage for all the Cullen's ostentatious cars, and sped around to the passenger side to open the door for me.

"Another human experience for you" he grinned crookedly, why couldn't I have a surprise- free life?
