Bella POV

This month has been a big difference compared to last month. Last month I was avoiding Edward and now we're dating. We're taking things slow but I couldn't be happier with Edward. Everyone was talking about us and others were saying it wouldn't last; most of it was Tanya and her friends who were betting against us. It scared me that maybe he would lose interest in me, but what he did for me that night really showed that he cared.

I felt awkward at first dating Edward, but he made feel comfortable being around him. It was like we were friends again except we knew how we felt about each other. He held my hand, walked me to my classes and was very sweet to me. We still goofed around and he told me jokes and such. But we've never kissed or anything and it's been a little over a month. Everyday Alice would gush over how cute we are together and ask for detailed about us.

It was Friday today, and tomorrow would be our one month anniversary; I wasn't sure if we were going to celebrate it, I've never been in a relationship so I don't know how these things work. Things were normal today, Edward drove me to school we hung out with the others and then we went to the library to do homework; I think Edward just comes to spend time alone with me. Biology was the same too, we took notes and Edward would find ways to entertain me behind the teachers back. I sometimes get annoyed with him because I have a hard time paying attention, well just being in the same room as him distracts me. But I still keep up good grades and so does Edward. After school Edward and I met up as usual and he drove me home; he seems a bit nervous about something but I don't want to push him.

"Can I take you somewhere?" asked Edward out of the blue while driving me home.

"Like a date?" I asked.

"Ya."

"Sure, what do you have in mind?"

"It's a surprise. I'll pick you at 10 Tomorrow morning?"

"Uh...okay."

"Great!" He kissed my cheek and I went inside. I went to my room and quickly texted Alice and Rose telling them what just happened. They are very excited for me; Alice offered to do my hair, make-up and pick out an outfit but I refused. I decided to make dinner for Charlie to surprise him and ask him about tomorrow over dinner. I quickly went downstairs and got to work. After about an hour I had everything ready. I heard his car pull up; perfect timing.

"I'm home Bells!" called out my dad.

"In here dad; I made dinner," I replied.

He looked at me suspiciously, "is Edward here?"

"No."

"Okay..."

"But I do have something to ask you..." I said as my face heated up.

"Yes?"

"Can I go on a date with Edward tomorrow?"

"...okay."

"Thanks dad," we ate dinner and then I went upstairs to do my homework. It took a while; I was a bit distracted about tomorrow. I wonder where he's taking me. I finally finished around 9:30 and decided to go to bed early. I had a hard time falling asleep but I did eventually. I woke up at 9 and got ready, Edward texted me thirty minutes later telling me he would be there soon and to make sure to be dressed ready to go for a walk. Huh... I quickly finished up my food and got dressed in to some pants, a t shirt, a light sweater and my tennis shoes. I didn't bother with make up and put my hair in to a pony tail. I looked casual but not too causal. At exactly 10 am Edward knocked on my door.

"Hey Bella, these are for you," said Edward handing me a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you, why don't you come in and I'll put these in a vase," I replied taking the flowers.

I went to the kitchen to hunt down a vase and when I came back to Edward, Charlie seemed to be having a serious talk with him. I cleared my throat, "I'm ready to go."

Charlie glared at Edward, "if something happens to Bella-"

"Bye dad, see you later," I said cutting him and I grabbed Edwards hand and dragged him out of the house. "Sorry about my dad," I said blushing.

He laughed, "it's okay I'd do the same if I had a daughter," he opened the car door for me and I got in to his car and we drove off.

We drove for about twenty minutes and the turned down a dirt road and followed it for another five minutes and stopped in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees.

"Is this it?" I asked.

"Nope," he replied.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see," he said smiling as he grabbed a basket out of his car, "come on," he grabbed my hand and we went in to the forest.

"It's not far is it?"

"...it's about a mile or so. Don't worry I won't let you fall."

"You better not get us lost."

He laughed, "don't worry I've gone here tons of times; you will love it here."

"If you say so," we walked for about an hour and a half. I'm not much of an outdoors person and I'm really slow. Edward was very patient and kind to me. We finally made it to a clearing and I was speechless; this place is amazing. The tree formed a circle around the wild flowers that grew there; it was so green and beautiful.

"Happy anniversary Bella," Edward whispered in my ear.

I smiled, "this place is amazing!"

"I thought you'd like it."

"How did you find it?"

"I got lost..."

"I'm not surprised," I teased.

"Hungry?" He asked.

I nodded, "I'm starving." We ate for a bit and talked; we laid down in the grass just enjoying each other company.

"I've never shown anyone this place..." said Edward after a bit.

"Really?" I said.

"Ya... I'm glad you came out with me today."

"Me too."

"You're so beautiful," said Edward as he came closer to me; I blushed. "I love you Bella," he whispered and leaned forward and kissed me. It was a gentle kiss, and slow; but it made my heart race.

We slowly pulled away and I whispered back to him, "I love you too," he smiled and kissed me again.

For the first time in my life I feel truly happy I have great friends, an amazing boyfriend; for the first time I actually have people who care about me besides my relatives. I'm happy with my life; I don't know where I'll end up in life, but right now I don't want to change a thing.

Well guys there it is! I really hoped you guys like it! What happens next is up to you :) To be honest I don't really have anymore ideas where to go off with this story. but I'm happy with it :) Don't forget to leave a review! :D
