A/N: Wow, the response to the last chapter was fantastic! Over 60 reviews and counting! Thanks guys! You make my day! Oh, I wanted to clear things up: I like Alice a lot, but I can just picture her being a total cock block because she always seems to be everywhere at the same time and know everything. Don't think I don't like her because I totally do! Oh, and please don't hate her! She didn't know what was going on in that bathroom. She was just worried about Bella. Alright, here is chapter 8. It's called: Kiss Me.

Edward Cullen

After Alice came and interrupted our make out session, she whisked Bella off for some sort of girl talk, which royally pissed me off. Honestly, after the boob incident, as I began to call it, I didn't want to let her out of my sight. I was worried one of my perverted relatives would corner her and ask for another show or try to sweet talk her. Yes, some of my relatives were like that, and I didn't want to take the chance.

I settled down at a table outside near the back door so when she returned, I would be right there to protect her and comfort her. I had even turned my chair toward the door so I could keep watch at all times. Even I could admit that I was being a little crazy about the whole thing, but I was worried.

Lucy came up to me a few minutes later, her face a little red from crying. "Where's mommy?" she asked with a worried voice. She could speak really well for a three year old.

"She's with Alice. You remember Alice right?"

She nodded. "Is mommy okay? I didn't mean to make her cry."

I gave the little girl a small smile. "She's okay, just embarrassed," I told her, ruffling her hair to try to cheer her up. I didn't like seeing her sad anymore than I liked seeing her mother sad.

She stuck her arms out in front of her, a signal that she wanted me to pick her up. I smiled and gently lifted the little girl onto my lap.

"Mommy's mad at me?"

I shook my head quickly. "No, Lucy, she's not mad at you. It was all a big accident."

She nodded and snuggled into my chest, eying the door every couple of seconds for her mother.

After a few more minutes, Alice and Bella emerged from the house. Bella surprisingly looked fine and like she hadn't been crying at all. When she saw Lucy and me, she grinned. I was so glad to see that smile on her face.

"Hey," she greeted us, sitting down in the vacant seat to my left.

"Hi mommy!"

"Hey," I said with a smile my eyes studying her to make sure she was truly all right

"Where's Jackson?" she asked.

I tilted my head backward to my mother who was feeding him some barbecue chicken. Bella chuckled.

"He has barbecue sauce all over his face," she said with a giggle.

I smirked. He could be such a messy eater. "Well, he's Nana's problem now."

Bella laughed before patting her daughter's head. "You must be hungry, baby."

Lucy shook her head. "Nana Esme fed me while you were inside. Chicken yummy!"

At first Bella and I were silent. I think we were both shocked that Lucy had called my mother Nana. Then, we started laughing. Apparently, the laughter was contagious, because Lucy joined in. I started tickling her, causing the little blonde girl to squealing and giggling.

Eventually she escaped my tickle hands and rushed over to Bella for protection. "Mommy, he's even more of a tickle monster than uncle Emmy!"

We stayed at my parent's house for a little while longer before deciding to head back to Bella's place. Jackson and Lucy were getting tired and cranky and some of the adults were getting tipsy from the keg that Carlisle bought.

By the time I had parked in front of Bella's townhouse, both Lucy and Jackson were fast asleep in their car seats. I carried Lucy upstairs for Bella; she trailed behind so she could tuck her in.

Once Lucy was in bed, we went back to the car and removed Lucy's car seat and put it back in Bella's. Jackson was still asleep, drool running down his chin.

Bella and I smiled at each other awkwardly, unsure of what to do next especially after our kiss in the bathroom.

"I'll walk you to your door," I said finally, finding my courage and taking her hand as we walked up the steps.

We stopped in front of the door and stared at each other. "Bella, what happened in the bathroom was…" I paused. "Amazing. I have wanted to do that since I met you, and frankly, I don't want to stop now. Bella, I would like to know if you would go on a date with me?"

Her eyes sparkled as her mouth broke out into a smile. I couldn't control the dorky smile that came to my face. I was happy.

"I feel exactly the same way, Edward. I would love to go out with you," she said, the smile still planted on her face.

"Awesome, um, are you busy Friday night?"

She bit her lip and thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Nope, I'm free."

My grin grew impossibly wider. "Great, uh, so it would be alright if I picked you up at seven?" I asked. I felt like doing back flips, I was so happy.

"That sounds fantastic. I can't wait."

"I can't wait either," I said sincerely, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. My hand lingered there before moving behind her neck and pulling her to me, kissing her deeply. When she let out a soft moan, I knew it was time for me to go. I didn't want to start humping her leg or something.

I reluctantly pulled away and smiled crookedly at her. "I better go," I said. "I'll call you tomorrow."

I jogged down the steps and hopped in my car, waving at her before taking off down the street.

~*~*~*~

I was working on next month's article for Cash the next morning, when I received a text message from Bella. I grinned while I read her sweet words.

I can't wait till Friday. – Bella

I quickly sent a text back.

Me neither. I just got to find a baby sitter for Jackson. – E

It was only a few moments later that I got a reply.

Emmett and Rose are going to baby sit Lucy that night. I'm sure they wouldn't mind an extra kid. Okay yeah, just checked, Rose said they'd love to. – B

I smiled. Thank god I didn't have to ask Angela again. I knew I could've asked my mom, but she always went out on dates with dad on Friday night. It had been their ritual since I turned sixteen. They had such busy lives that they reserved one night out of the week to go out. It was kind of sweet actually.

That sounds great. Tell Rosalie and Emmett thank you. –E

Bella's response was almost immediate.

Will do. Hey, what are we doing on the date? Alice insists on knowing because she wants to dress me. I'm at work right now, BTW. –B

Bragging about going on a date with me, huh? Well, it's going to be a surprise, but I'll call Alice later to let her know how she should dress you. ;) –E

After I sent the text, I began to wonder how Bella's job was going. She said she was at work, was the day slow? We had never really talked about her new job at the barbecue. I suddenly had the urge to go visit her. To hell with the article I'm supposed to be writing. I'm texting her anyway, either way I wouldn't get the damn thing done.

Edward, I HATE surprises, but I'll allow you to surprise me because you're cute. – B

I grinned at my phone like an idiot. Yes, I was definitely going to visit her at work.

A few minutes later, I was parked in front of Urban Outfitters getting Jackson out of his car seat. He was tired because I had to wake him up for this adventure, but he was excited to see Bella again. I couldn't blame him; Bella was amazing.

I saw her right when I walked in. She was behind the cash register reading a book. Her hair was down and looked silky. I wanted to run my fingers through it. She was wearing a tank top with peacock feathers on it and an open blue cardigan with jeans. I was pretty sure she was wearing the ring that said 'We're all mad here' on it. She must have had an Alice in Wonderland fetish.

"Bella!" Jackson squealed when he spotted her. Her head shot up from the book and she broke out into a smile.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked, the smile still lighting up her features.

I smiled back down at her. "Well, we figured that we would see how you were doing with the new job," I replied, putting my son down. He ran straight to Bella and wrapped his arms around her legs.

"Where's Lucy?" he asked anxiously.

Bella ran her hands through his bronze hair. "She's at home my dad. He stopped by for a visit, so he's watching her while I'm at work."

Hmm, so Bella's father is in town. "How long is he in town for?" I questioned.

"Till tomorrow. He somehow got a day off at the station and decided to come down and visit Lucy, Emmett, and me. He loves his granddaughter."

Alice came to the cash register a few minutes later, smiling her head off. "Jackson, how you doing kid?" she chirped as he rushed over to her to give her a hug.

We all talked for a few minutes before Alice brought up the date. "Edward, you have to tell me what you guys are doing so I can pick out the outfit!"

I sighed and looked over at Bella who was now blushing. It was beautiful. "I'm keeping it a secret. I will tell you later and you will have to keep your big mouth shut," I told her.

"Alright, Alright. I will be expecting a call at six tonight, but you guys should go if you're not buying anything. I know it's dead, but I don't want corporate on my ass for letting you monopolize the cashier."

I frowned. I didn't want to leave Bella so soon. We had barely gotten to talk. "Fine, Alice. I'll call you later and we will leave now." I stared at Bella for a moment, wondering if I could kiss her.

Alice must have noticed because she began dragging Jackson off, mumbling about showing him some jewelry.

I chuckled as I stepped toward Bella. She was blushing, but her gaze was locked on my lips. She wanted to kiss me just as much as I wanted to kiss her.

I slowly leaned forward, both of us closing our eyes, before I pressed my lips against hers. I swear, she had the most heavenly lips I ever had the pleasure to kiss. I sucked on her bottom lip before breaking apart. I couldn't have a full-blown make out session with her while she was working and my son was only a few feet away. That would just be bad parenting.

"Call me after work?" I asked, my forehead touching hers.

She nodded before I pressed one more soft kiss against her lips.

Bella Swan

Good god, Friday couldn't come fast enough. I hadn't seen Edward since Monday, but we had been calling each other and texting all week. I loved talking to him, but I missed his face…and those lips.

When I came home from work Monday, I couldn't control the grin that kept creeping onto my face. Charlie was worried about me, thinking I hit my head or something. I didn't want to tell him about Edward yet, but Emmett of course, ruined that when he noticed my grin and blamed it on Edward. Charlie went in full cop mode after that, asking anything and everything about Edward Cullen.

Apparently, if Edward and I were still hanging out the next time he came to visit or I came to visit him, he wanted to meet him.

Once dad had left on Tuesday, I smacked Emmett upside the head about three times. Lucy laughed and wanted me to do it again. Apparently, she liked it when I inflicted pain on her Uncle. I liked it too.

Alice had just arrived at the town house, carrying a couple bags and a makeup kit. She looked frightening carrying the things; like she meant business.

Rose sat on my bed with Lucy as Alice went to work on my hair. She was the one who usually got me ready for anything semi-fancy. I think she was a little jealous that I was allowing someone else to pretty me up instead of her. But she liked Alice, so she didn't say anything.

"Rosie? Why is mommy getting her hair done my Alice?" Lucy asked from her spot on Rosalie's lap. She was starting to get squirrelly and I knew Rose would have to get her a toy or play with her so she could stay in here with us.

Rose smiled at my little girl. "She's going on a date with Edward."

Lucy looked confused. "What's a date?" she asked.

"A date is when a boy and a girl who like each other go and do activities that interest them," Rose replied awkwardly.

"Oh," Lucy said still looking confused before looking back at the maniac pixie that was curling my hair in big loose curls. Alice said that when she was done, my hair would be curly sex hair. I had no idea what that meant, but so far, it looked good.

"Mommy? You like Edward?" Lucy asked.

I almost nodded, but remembered the curling iron. "Yeah. Do you like him?"

Lucy nodded enthusiastically. "Is Jackson going on the date too?"

Rose laughed and answered for me, "No, Lucy."

By the time Alice had finished my hair, Rose had taken Lucy downstairs to play with Uncle Emmy. Rose watched Alice carefully as she began to put on the soft make up that would apparently make me look stunning.

It was almost 6:30 when Alice told me it was time to put on my outfit.

"Trust me, it will look hot on you," Alice told me, pulling the pink and black cocktail dress off the hanger and grinning at me.

"I trust you," I mumbled. The dress was cute, but not something I would pick out myself. I was a more t-shirt and jeans kind of gal, and only dressed up a little bit for work. I really needed to go shopping if I was going to be going on fancy dates and to fancy barbecues.

"The dress has straps, so I don't think anyone will be pulling it down," Alice teased, unzipping the dress for me before she and Rose left the room so I could change.

Of course, the dress fit me like a glove, and I actually was glad it had straps. I probably wouldn't be able to wear a strapless dress ever again after the barbecue incident. At least, I wouldn't wear one around Lucy.

"You look hot, Bella," Rose commented when I let them back into my room.

Alice nodded in agreement. "You do. Now, lets complete the outfit, shall we?"

She grabbed the other bags and pulled out shoes, a bag, and jewelry. God, I wonder how much she spent!

"Alice, how much do I owe you for all of this?" I asked, slipping on the round toe, black sequined pumps. I hated heels, but these were actually cute. They made my feet sparkle and my legs look a mile long.

Alice waved her hand and rolled her eyes. "Bella, don't worry about it. My parents are rolling in the dough and I get paid pretty well managing Urban Outfitters. Plus, the dress is from Forever 21, so it's really cheap."

"I really don't like it when people spend money on me," I said frowning. I really didn't care how cheap the stuff was. She was still spending money on me.

Alice giggled. "Well then, maybe you should reconsider this date." She paused and gave me a stern look. "Bella, I love spending money on people. Especially if I'm buying clothes. I pretty much decided after seeing your clothing choices that you need a new wardrobe. Expect a full closet of clothes by Sunday. No arguments."

I scowled at Alice. She would not be buying me clothes.

I was about to start yelling at her when I heard the doorbell ring. Shit. He was here.

Alice made a face. "He's early. What a freak," Alice muttered, grabbing the jewelry off of my vanity and putting it on me. It was cute, black and beaded. It looked good with the dress.

Rose giggled at Alice's comment. "He probably just wanted to make sure Jackson was cool with staying here."

Alice eyed her curiously. "Hmm, well aren't you Miss mommy. And I thought it was her this whole time," Alice said, pointing at Rosalie, then at me.

"Hey, I've had a lot of practice with Lucy!" Rose said.

The girls made me wait until 7:02 to go downstairs. They said I couldn't go down at 7:00 because then I would be some anal bitch who is always exactly on time. I honestly didn't understand why I couldn't go down there when I was all ready, but I listened to them and went downstairs two minutes later.

Honestly, when I was walking down the stairs, I felt like I was living that scene in She's All That where Rachel Leigh Cook's character has just been made over, and walks in slow motion down the stairs to that Kiss Me song, while Freddie Prinze Junior stairs at her with wonder.

That was basically what happened. Just no music, and no Freddie (thank god). I smiled at Edward when I reached the bottom step. He looked delicious in his black suit with no tie. His button down was opened a little, exposing some of his beautiful chest. He had a little chest hair. I liked it.

"You look gorgeous," Edward murmured, his eyes raking my body. I really wanted to attack him and fuck him on the floor in the living room, but there were too many witnesses. One of them being my daughter, which would be really gross.

"Thanks, you look nice too," I said softly. I tried to bat my eyelashes at him like I used to do when I'd flirt back in high school, but I was so out of practice it probably looked like I had a twitch.

We stared at each other until Emmett snorted. "What?" I grumbled, giving him the stink eye.

He chuckled, pulling Lucy into his lap. She was so distracted by the cartoon on the TV she barely notice. Jackson was sitting next to Rose with the same expression as Lucy on his face.

"Are you guys going to just stare at each other or are you going to go on the date?" my brother's voice boomed.

I rolled my eyes, not even bothering to respond.

"Ready to go?" Edward asked.

I nodded. I kissed Lucy on her forehead and thanks Alice and Rose. Edward did pretty much the same before opening the front door for me and leading me to his car with his hand on the small of my back.

"You ready for tonight, Miss Swan?" he asked playfully.

I giggled and nodded, unsure of what to say back.

He opened my door for me and helped me in the car. He even put on my seat belt for me, earning him a look from me.

He chuckled. "I just wanted to be close to you," he said in a soft, deep voice.

I bit my lip and stared at him, his face just inches from mine. I decided to be bold and leaned forward capturing his lips with mine.

The kiss didn't last long, but it left me breathless anyway. Edward smiled gently before tilting his head toward the house. You could clearly see three adult bodies peeking through the sheer curtains in the living room.

"Oh, for god's sake."

A/N: Sorry that the whole date wasn't in this chapter, but if I didn't cut it off, the chapter would've been way long. Yeah, yeah, you probably wouldn't have minded, but I don't want some strangely long chapter and the rest be really short. Okay, so I hope you liked the quick update and the chapter. Make sure to review and check out all the links and crap in my profile. There is a new poll up so take it.
