Chapter Four-The Date

"So Bells, are you excited?"

"Of course Luke, how could I not be?"

"You don't think this is a mistake? Not at all?"

"No way Lucas, I have actually been hoping this would happen."

"Seriously? Wow, that makes me feel so much better."

"Yeah, me too," I smiled.

I drove to the only decent restaurant in Port Angeles, the Italian restaurant in downtown. I parked near the door and Luke hurried to get my door. I took his hand as we walked in.

"Table for two?" Luke asked the woman at the door.

"Of course, right this way." She answered, walking towards the booths in the back.

"Your server will be here momentarily," she said as she walked off to greet another customer.

"So, Luke, what is this 'surprise' you have planned?"

"No, no, no Bella. I am not spoiling it." He smiled, clearly enjoying this more than I was.

"Please?" I gave him my best pouty puppy dog face, "Please Luke?""No is my final answer Bella." He said, trying to look angry, but I could see the twinkle in his eyes and the smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Just then, the server arrived.

"Can I get you two any drinks?" she pulled out a notepad.

"Bella?" Luke looked towards me.

"I'll have a Coke." I said.

"Two Cokes," Luke said, looking at the server, "and two salads too, if you please."

"Of course sir," she said, walking back towards the kitchen. I looked down at my menu, playing with the gold-plated corners.

"Anything look good?" Luke asked me quietly, seeing how intently I was studying the menu.

"Um, the Fettuccini Alfredo with garlic bread looks pretty good." I answered quietly as the server came up with our drinks and salads.

"Have you decided on what you want to eat?"

"Two Fettuccini Alfredo's please," Luke answered calmly.

"Sure, it will probably be about 10 minutes," was her departing comment. I looked down at my hands, resting on the table top next to my salad. Luke's hands snaked in under them. I looked up to see his emerald eyes sparkling with happiness and worry.

"What's wrong, Bella?" he asked quietly.

"I just don't understand," I whispered, "Why? Why did you come here? I don't see why you threw away everything you had in Phoenix to come here!"

He looked surprised, "But I thought the answer was obvious," he whispered, just as quietly though, "You. Isabella Marie Swan, you are the reason for my life. The feelings deep inside of me are all for you. I didn't even realize it until you left, and you must know now, I love you."

I sat there, in stunned silence for a moment. "Wow Luke, I didn't know you felt as strongly as I do. I still wonder why though, I am so plain and ordinary, and you are a prince! Why would you go for me when you could have anyone else?"

"Bella, you are not plain. You are not ordinary. I think that if you consider me a prince, you must surely be my princess. You are smart and kind, beautiful and gentle. I love you with all of my heart." Luke said with a smile that quickly left, "But, I can understand if you don't love me. I can go back to Phoenix if that is what you want."

"Lucas, of course I love you. The last thing I want right now is for you to leave. I really don't think I could survive if you did!"

The server came over and set our plates down. She left immediately, possibly feeling the emotions running high.

"Ok then Bella, it's settled. I will never leave you!" he laughed, "Say hello to your eternal slave!"

I had to laugh at that, "Thank you Luke. That is great to know because I have this horrible laundry problem…" We were now laughing harder, and trying to eat between gasping for air. When we are done and the tab is paid, we walk out and head for the movie, still laughing.

We bought our tickets and settled down in seats near the back of the theatre. Luke casually slipped his arm around my shoulders and I slid down in my seat so that my head was resting on his arm like a pillow. I looked up to see that he was looking down at me. I smiled and he grinned right back at me. When the movie started, he began twirling a lock of my hair around his fingers. I couldn't focus on the movie, but then I tried and found it intriguing.

It was a sad love story about a girl whose boyfriend was kidnapped on their first date, right after their kiss. She blamed herself, and didn't know what to do until she found a ransom note in her room one day. The note said that if she didn't come in one week and bring a million dollars, he would be killed. She somehow managed to collect the money and raced to save him, arriving just too late. The girl killed herself, saying that life was not worth living without her true love. By that point, I was in tears, and Luke seemed happy about that, but he comforted me quietly.

When we walked out to the car, he surprised me by pulling me over to the passenger side. I gave him a confused look.

"Surprise Bella, remember?" he said sweetly. I scowled. He then started laughing and opened the door, pushing me in. He walked briskly to the driver's side, and started driving down an unfamiliar road. By now I was extremely curious. We passed a sign that announced we were in La Push, but that did little to help me. When he finally stopped the car, I looked out in shock.
