"Wow, Bella, um you look"--I cut him off.

"Fabu?" I suggested.

"Fabu?" he questioned.

"Don't ask," I warned.

"Okay, well, um let's get, um, going," he said. I nodded. We walked to the door, and I headed to the Volvo.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, we're not taking the Volvo," he informed me.

"Oh, okay, well, what are we taking?"

"This." He led me to an absolutely beautiful car, but it scared me it looked...fast. It was silver, and wide, and pretty.

"Sweet! What kind of car is this?"

"It's a Touts," he told me.

"Um,"

"It's a Mercedes, Bells," he told me, while shaking his head, and chuckling to himself. He opened the door for me, and I slid inside. He walked over, and opened the door, and hopped in. He backed out of the drive way.

"So, where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a surprise," he answered.

Ugh! "Edward," I whined. "You know I hate surprises!"

"You know I hate it when you whine," he shot back.

I grinned evilly. "Good, we're even."

We didn't say much the rest of the trip to...wherever it was. Suddenly he parked the car in the parking lot we were here. Dang! This car was fast! I looked up to see where we were, we were at La Bella Italia. He knew I loved Italian. I looked at him and smiled once I got out of the car, he grinned back. He grabbed my hand, and walked me to the door of the restaurant. A girl was there, "Hello, and welcome to La Bella Italia! Please follow me."

We followed her she led us to a very secluded area of the restaurant. "Your server will be right with you," she told us. She walked away. We both looked at our menus I decided I wanted the spaghetti. I sat my menu down, and at the same time our waitress walked up. She was so pretty. She was emo. She had gum in her mouth and she was blowing huge bubbles with it. (This is what she looks like—pics on my profile) She had a very slight smile on her face, and she asked in a very quiet voice, "Hello, I'm Melony, and I'll be your server this evening, can I get you anything to drink?"

I smiled and said, "Um, I'll have a...Mountain Dew."

"I'll have the same," Edward said.

Melony nodded, and walked away. I looked up at Edward.

"What are you thinking?" he whispered.

"Just, well...I was just wondering why you asked me out..." I trailed off.

"Well, isn't it obvious? I have had the biggest crush on you ever since I met you."

"No you didn't. I did."

"You did what?"

How could he not have noticed? "I had the hugest crush on you, still do too," I told him, embarrassed.

"I—" he was cut off by Melony's reappearance. She set our drinks down on the table in front of each of us.

"Um, can I take your order please?" she asked.

"Bella?"

"Uh, I'll have the spaghetti, I think." Melony nodded and turned to Edward.

"I'll have...you know, I think I'll have the same thing."

"Okay so that's two orders of spaghetti?" she repeated in her quiet voice.

"Yes," me and Edward said at the same time.

Melony looked at the two of us, smiled ever so slightly—she looked sad—sighed and left.

My hands were resting on the table, as were Edward's, suddenly he grabbed them. I smiled timidly at him. He grinned back. I just stared at him. Well I didn't stare, I mean I did blink. It felt like hours, but it wasn't that long, hours that we just stared at each other. It was a very long time though because Melony was back again. She had our food in both hands, she set them on the table. Edward released my hands.

"Thank you," I murmured. And Edward said his thanks too.

I unrolled my silverware, took out my fork and swirled it in the spaghetti, I took a bite. It was really good.

"Good huh?" I asked Edward. He nodded, at the moment he had food in his mouth, I giggled. He swallowed, then smiled at me. We finished our food, and when Melony came to ask if everything was alright, Edward asked for the check. We fought over who would pay the tip too. We sounded like an old married couple. I smiled at the thought. We held hands as we walked to the car, swinging them in between us as we walked. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I had a text message, it was from Alice.

Hey Bells,

I laughed quietly to myself. I slid open the texting board and wrote my reply.

Hi Ali,

ily, Bella

I looked up and noticed we were driving, down the road to his house.

"Alice told me you were spending the night here," he said answering my unspoken question of how he knew to drive me here. I nodded. We pulled into his driveway, and he ran across to the other side of the car, after he got out of his side, to open the door for me. I got out and he put his hand on my shoulder and looked down at me.

"I had a great time tonight," I whispered.

"I'm glad," he breathed. And he bent his head toward me and kissed me. I was officially having fireworks shooting behind my head. Oh my God, he was the sweetest thing ever. He pulled back and smiled at me. I smiled back. He snatched my hand up again and we walked to the door. I had barely gotten my head through the door when someone grabbed my free hand, and yanked me away from Edward.

"DETAILS," Alice screamed. "DETAILS, I NEED DETAILS!"

Haha! Gotta love Alice right?! The next chapter will be the sleepover and Alice's "DETAILS!"

Love Always,

Alyssa!
