Hey all you amazing readers of my story!!! I know its taken some time and I am so sorry, I'm trying to get these chapters done as fast as I can...

Now I know last time I said I wasn't going to even start a new chapter until I had received at least 10 reviews(which BTW I didn't :-(...) I thought about it a bit and decided it wasn't fair of me to ask that, especially to those of you who do/have reviewed this story, so I won't require a certain amount of reviews before I start on a new chapter. However, that doesn't mean I won't mind if I don't get any reviews at all, I still want you to review. Happy Reading

P.S.: SADLY I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT, ONLY MAVERICK!(HE'S PRETTY AWESOME THOUGH...ISN'T HE?)

Chapter 13

When we got outside I saw several cars parked in front of the Hales'.

"So which one are we taking?" I asked.

"We're taking my Volvo." Edward replied.

"Um…How are we all gonna fit in your car?"

"Don't be silly Bella, we're all going separate." Alice laughed as she said that. "Honestly Bella, sometimes you can be so…so.."

"Blonde!" Emmett chimed in. Rose stopped dead in her tracks.

"What's wrong with being blonde, Emmett?" Rose snapped. Rose hated how people always thought of her as a 'Dumb Blonde', she said it wasn't fair how she was always judged based on her hair color. No one ever took the time to listen to her, but when they did they realized how smart she was.

"Nothing, it's just a figure of speech Rosie. I didn't mean anything by it, promise."

"Emmett you know how I feel about that kinda stuff."

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to upset you. It'll never happen again, I swear." Emmett got down on one knee, "Please don't be mad at me." He said as he grabbed her hand and began kissing it like crazy. Rose couldn't stay mad at him, honestly I don't think anyone could, he was just so adorable when he was like that.

"Ok fine…I'm not mad…Just don't let it happen again. If it does, no more you know what for you." Emmett jumped up, threw his arms around her and then the kissing started.

"Ew." Alice and I said in unison.

"Come on we should go before this gets X-rated." Jasper said; he was completely disgusted.

"Hey Ed, we'll follow you." Jasper yelled from his car, Edward nodded while he opened the car door for me.

"Thank you kind sir." I said as I slid onto the passenger seat.

"Of course my lady." I blushed and looked away from him. I hated that he made me blush so often.

Edward was in the car faster then I would have thought possible, and then we were off.

"Here put this on." He handed me a pink sleeping mask.

"Uh, what's this for? And why is it pink?" I inspected it closely, there was a letter embroidered on the lower left corner of it, T. "And who's T?"

"What's it for?...well since this whole thing is one big secret we have our dates wear them so they can't call anyone and reveal the location."

"I guess that makes sense, but what about when we get there? I mean do I have to wear this thing the whole night?" He laughed at that.

"No once we get there you can take it off, it's just so no one gives anyone directions."

"Oh, right." I put the mask on, "You still didn't answer my other two questions."

"Sorry, um it's pink because…well it's not mine…and it belongs to a girl named Tanya."

"Oh…Who's Tanya?" He sighed. I really hated having to wear this darn mask, it didn't let me see what kind of face he was making, if he was making one at all.

"Tanya's a girl." Oh so I'm gonna have to dig to get more info, huh…well alright then. I thought to myself.

"Your girl?" Again he sighed.

"It's complicated." His voice indicated he no longer wanted to talk about this Tanya girl. I'll just ask Alice who she is, she'll tell me, she tells me everything.

"Ok." Was all I said, it was silent for a few minutes, until I spoke again. "So how long 'till we get there?"

"Two hours."

"TWO HOURS! I HAVE TO SIT IN THIS CAR WITH THIS MASK ON FOR TWO HOURS?" The car swerved a bit, I guess he wasn't expecting that kind of a reaction from me.

"Relax, it'll go by fast." He chuckled.

"Whatever."

"How 'bout we play 20 questions?"

"I guess."

"Ok I'll go first, what's your favorite color?"

"Um it used to be blue, but now it's green."

"Why is it green now?"

"It's the color of your eyes." I blurted out. Oh shit! Did I really just say that?! DAMN!

"Oh…" He seemed to be at a loss for words.

"Next question please." I said hoping he wouldn't ask more questions on that subject.

"Ok…which do you love more softball or cheerleading?"

"That ones easy, softball."

"Ok, how long have you known the Hales?"

"Uh, I don't know a long time. I guess since I was born, our dad's went to college together they were in a frat."

"That's cool…Have you ever broken anything?"

"Like what, bones?"

"Yea bones will work."

"I've broken my wrist once, my ankle, my leg, my arm…that's about it…oh I've also dislocated my shoulder, not sure if that counts as a broken limb though."

"Wow…that's a long list." He laughed. "Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but to be quite honest I'm not surprised."

"No worries, no one ever is." He laughed even harder. "Moving on…" I wasn't fond of him laughing at my misfortunes.

"Right…do you miss your dad?"

"Everyday."

"I'm sorry, that must be really difficult for you."

"It is and I really don't feel like talking about it, so if you don't mind can we move on?" I could feel the tears forming behind my eyelids.

"Let's see…which do you prefer dogs or cats?"

"Dogs, cats are too independent for me."

"Have you ever had a pet?"

"Sadly no, I couldn't have one because I never had time. Thankfully our neighbors loved me so much, when they found out how upset I was about not being able to get a dog they got a German Sheppard and let me name him." A smile crept onto my face.

"What did you name him?"

"Bubba, I can still remember the day they got him. I was in the 6th grade, my dad picked me up from school and told me the neighbors wanted me to go over when I got home. When I went over they said they had a surprise for me, next thing I know the cutest German Sheppard puppy comes running at me, I fell in love with him."

"Is Bubba still alive?"

"Yea."

"Do you miss him?"

"Of course, how can I not he's my best friend."

"I'd love to meet him."

"He'd love you."

"Really, why is that?"

"Because I like you and Bubba likes anyone I do."

"I like you too." His voice was barely audible

"Thanks." Awkward

"Are you excited for the year to start?"

"Yea, I am actually." I smiled.

"Do you like it here?"

"Well it's definitely no Texas," we both laughed, "but it is nice, the only thing I'm not real fond of is how far we have to drive to get to school. It's so far, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to get up early enough every morning to get there on time."

"What do you mean? We won't have to drive there everyday, wait…you do know that we will be living in dorms on campus, right?" That was something I was not aware of.

"No, I had no idea." I paused, "so we're gonna live in dorms on campus, what about practice? We practice in the city so where are we gonna practice when school starts?"

"The school, of course." He chuckled.

"Oh, wow I've never lived in a dorm before. How will we know who we're rooming with?...or do we even have roommates?"

"We already know who we're rooming with; didn't you go to the orientation?"

"No I had pitching practice that day, Rose went for me…that's what she was trying to tell me…well shoot I guess I better ask about my roommate when we get to…wherever it is we're going." He laughed his musical laugh again. I liked that I could make him laugh, however I wasn't sure if he was laughing at me, he probably was. That thought caused me to frown.

"What's wrong?" He asked instantly.

"Nothing." I said as sharply as I could, which was most likely not sharp enough.

"Ok," I could tell by the way he sounded as he said that, the answer I gave was not good enough for him. "What's your favorite movie?"

"Sixteen Candles…I love Jake Ryan!" I laughed.

"HA! That's Alice's favorite movie too, you know when we were younger she used to make me watch it with her all the time…she still does…but now that I know you like it I'll have to tell her and maybe I won't have to watch it as much."

"She only made you watch it with her?...what about Emmett?"

"Emmett likes it too." He was laughing his amazing laugh again, I couldn't help but join. After a few minutes of laughter he continued with the questions.

…………………………………

"Ok last one," He said. "It's somewhat personal…I'm not even sure if I should ask it…" He sound weary.

"Go for it…As long as it has nothing to do with that woman that calls herself my mother." I said that last part with so much hate, I scared myself.

"Are you a virgin?" His voice was so low I could barely hear what he had asked. I didn't answer this question right away like I had the rest, he noticed. "I'm sorry Bella, I never should have asked such a personal question. You don't have to answer if you don't want, I understand." He was freaking out, it was actually kind of funny. But making him wait any longer made me feel bad.

"No it's ok…you just caught me off guard."

"Well how about I just ask you a different question?" He asked his voice was a little shaky. Honestly I just couldn't understand why he would have gotten so freaked out about my delayed response.

"No, I wanna answer the original question…My answer is yes, I am still a virgin." I said with pride.

"Oh." Was all he said, he sounded almost as if he didn't believe me. How could he not believe me?

"You don't believe me." It wasn't a question, and he knew it wasn't.

"No it's not that."

"Well what it is then?" I was a bit upset at this point.

"It's just...Girls as…don't laugh ok," I nodded "Girls as beautiful as you are hardly ever virgins…I mean it's not a bad thing that you're still a virgin, it's actually pretty great…I mean not that I want to take your…I mean…Ok I'm going to stop talking now." He sighed heavily; I had to giggle a little at the way he got so nervous he rambled. "What's so funny?" He asked.

"Nothing…Do you always ramble when your nervous?"

"No, at least I don't think so…Was I rambling?" He was so cute when he was nervous, well at least he sounded really adorable.

"A little, it was cute." Again I wished I didn't have this stupid blindfold on so I could see his face.

"Uh thanks…We're here, you can take the mask off now." He spoke with relief in his voice.

"Thank goodness, I didn't think I was going to be able to last much longer with this damn thing on." I said as I yanked the mask off and threw it at him.

He was at my door before I knew it, sometimes he could be so fast. He silently helped me out of the car, it wasn't an awkward silence it was more comfortable than anything else. We arrived before the others; I'm sure due to Edward's insane driving. It was darker now so it was difficult to see where we were exactly; I could however make out what looked to be a very large house with white lights outlining it. We stood there for a few seconds before Edward slowly lead me towards the monstrous house, the closer we got the more beautiful it looked. I hadn't realized how far we parked, the walk seemed to last forever, we passed several cars on the way.

We were only a few feet from the house when I saw the most beautiful car I had ever seen in my entire life. There parked directly in front of the house was a red 1969 Ford Mustang with white racing stripes, I had to stop and admire its beauty. I would have never left that car, but something pulled my attention away from the vehicle. Edward, he was glaring at the car, there was so much hatred in his eyes and I just couldn't understand it. Did he not like the car?

I looked back at the Mustang in hopes I would find the source of his hatred, I found it almost instantly; it was the license plate. James. How could I have missed something like that, the license plate read 'James 4'. As quickly as I realized this I had been yanked away from the car, Edward was pulling me away from James' Mustang. I didn't protest. A few seconds later we were standing in front of the door that lead into the huge house. Edward didn't knock, he just stood there facing away from the door and me.

"Edward…is everything ok?" I couldn't help but ask, I was worried about him.

He didn't say anything, he simply turned towards the door and knocked. I didn't say anything else, his silence was response enough. The large door opened a few moments later, the woman who answered the door was older, but very pretty and extremely nice.

"Ah Edward, it's so wonderful to see you again. How have you been? And who is this beautiful young lady you have with you?" She was staring at me as if she had never seen anything like me before, I was really creepy.

"It's good to see you too Mrs. Randall." He said as he hugged her, when she released him he turned to me and grabbed my hand pulling me closer to them. "This is Bella." I smiled as she outstretched her hand for me to shake, I did.

"Bella it's so lovely to meet you, I'm Jah'me Randall, James' mother."

My eyes widened in shock.
