A/N: As promised, here is the second One Shot for this story, only one more after this one :) I want to thank all of you who've reviewed my story so far and who've added it to their favorites or to their alerts, you guys are amazing. As most of you know, I like to thank everyone personally so for my reviewers: Shirley, mouse555, iluvtwilightforeva, twilight642531, Bellaangel383, Emma-MasenCullen, becci9770, Layel.C, ravenlovestwilight, Lizzie. You guys are the best!

To Shirley: That was one funny review :D It cracked me up big time! :D But I'm glad you survived the absence of my fluff long enough for me to upload a new story! I wouldn't know what to do without you! :O Or your stories for that matter! :O It's a good thing Bella can't really hear you… Telling her to jump Edward like that! What would he think if she would do that! :O Thanks so much for your wonderful review! :D
To mouse555: Such a warm welcome, thanks so much! I'm happy that you're reading my story again :)

To Emma-MasenCullen: Trust me, it's good to be back ;) Thanks for the sweet review! :D
To ravenlovestwilight: In my stories the Cullens are almost always, if not always, vampires, I try to stay as close to original as I can with the characters, so yes they are vampires in this story as well :) Although it's not really stressed as much yet :) As for the writing at Vampire Speed… I hope you think this is quick enough? Enjoy! :)
To Lizzie: I'm happy I'm writing again too :D It's been hard to go so long without it :) I love your cyber-hug! Thanks so much! Hopefully you'll enjoy today's chapter :D

The weird thing about this story is that I planned it as a One Shot at first, I got the idea for the first chapter from the song "A Night Like This" by Caro Emerald (a Dutch singer) and from the songs from The Baseballs as well.. But then I thought of the title for the story and from that moment I decided that I couldn't just keep it a One Shot, because then the title wouldn't really make sense anymore, and since I was already happy that I had thought of a title for the story I didn't want to change that, so I had to add some more chapters :P Which is also exactly why this story took me a little longer than I had initially planned :P Because I had no idea how to make it all a little original... Now this chapter that's coming now is not one of my most original pieces of work (you'll see why soon enough) but I still though it was a nice part of the story to tell... The last chapter (tomorrow's chapter) will be a little bit different, a different style, but I hope you'll like where I've taken the story nonetheless :) I just wanted to share some of the background to this story with you before I continued ;)

But at this rate the A/N is going to be longer than the actual chapter so I think I'm going to shut up now and let you read my story in peace :D I hope you all enjoy it, although if you like fluff (which most of you seem to do :P) I'm sure this one will be to your liking :) As always, I love hearing what you guys think! :)

What A Day

It had been a week since the party and the only confirmation that it had been real was Alice's constant enthusiasm about how great the party was and how much everyone had enjoyed themselves. I hadn't seen Edward since the party, although I went out of my way to take the elevator as much as was possible without looking like a crazy person, just going up and down in the elevator the entire day.

I wasn't brave enough to knock on his door and go talk to him, although I was desperate to see him again. It was stupid of course, a guy like that could never be interested in a girl like me. But somehow it felt like there had been a spark between us that night and I couldn't quite let it go.

Also the fact that Alice kept 'casually' mentioning her brother every chance she got make me doubt my own judgment of how wrong I was for him.

For instance, when Alice and I had gone shopping last weekend. The moment I had stepped out of the fitting booth wearing the dark blue blouse that she had handed to me Alice's eyes had gotten all bright and shiny and she was all but clapping her hands in excitement.

"It looks great on you!" she had complimented me. "And such a coincidence, that is Edward's favorite color!" she had added nonchalantly.

I laughed at the memory of Alice's enthusiasm and the silliness of the whole situation. I had only met the guy a total of twice and he was all I could think about.

"Penny for your thought," Alice broke me out of my daydreaming.

"Huh?" I said brilliantly.

"You were smiling like an idiot, what were you thinking about?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing really, just our shopping trip last weekend," I said while shrugging. It wasn't even a total lie, just because it wasn't the main focus of any of my thoughts wasn't worth mentioning to her.

"Yeah that was fun!" Alice was easily distracted when someone mentioned shopping.

I smiled at her without saying anything further. I walked in the direction of the stairs, like I always did when Alice was around.

"Can we take the elevator today? I'm a bit tired," Alice asked innocently.

"That's new, when are you ever out of energy?" I asked jokingly but complied nonetheless. Not like I was really looking forward to climbing the stairs again anyways.

The doors opened and I was shocked when I noticed who was standing in the elevator.

"Hi Alice, hi Bella," his beautiful voice greeted us.

He must have come from the parking lot, which was below our building.

"Hi Edward, what a coincidence!" Alice exclaimed with a smug look on her face.

"Yes it is," Edward said but something about his expression wasn't right, it was like he wasn't completely sure it had been, the way he suspiciously looked at Alice.

"Are you going up?" Alice continued.

"Yes, I am, are you coming?" he asked, this time focusing his attention on me.

"Uhm, yes?" I asked hesitantly before taking a small step in the direction of the elevator.

"Great," Edward said kindly.

I stepped into the elevator and pressed the button of my floor. I looked over to Alice and saw that she still hadn't moved an inch.

"Are you coming sis?" Edward asked, obviously noticing the same thing I had.

"I forgot something from my car, I'll be right up," Alice said while shooting me an encouraging smile.

"Right," Edward said. "I guess it's just the two of us then," he said to me with a playful smile.

"I guess so," I muttered, embarrassed.

The doors closed and the elevator got into motion.

"I had a lot of fun at the party," Edward said softly.

"Me too," I admitted with my eyes plastered to the floor.

"Good." It sounded like Edward was smiling.

We were silent for a moment and too soon we reached my floor and the doors opened.

"Bye Edward," I said softly, not sure he had heard me.

I stepped out of the elevator without once looking at him, I was too shy and scared to look at him. Afraid he might think I was weird or something.

"Bella, wait!" Edward's voice came from close behind me.

I turned around and realized that Edward was standing right in front of me. It startled me to see his face this close to mine. Had he really stepped out of the elevator to say something to me? Why?

"I've been hoping all week that I would run into you," he admitted softly.

"Oh," was all I could manage.

"I know this sounds a bit weird and maybe it is, but I've been thinking about you a lot. And dancing with you at my party… You looked so beautiful… And Alice always talks about how great you are… I just… I want to get to know you." I had never thought I would see Edward a little unsure but he seemed to have trouble finding the right words.

My mind was working slowly, it couldn't quite grasp what he was saying and when I finally figured it out, I couldn't believe it. So I just stood there, staring at this beautiful creature.

"I shouldn't have said anything, I'm so sorry!" he said quickly.

"I… Don't understand," I admitted, blushing.

"I'm not sure I understand it either, I just know that I want to get to know you and I was hoping you would want to go out with me some time?"

"Uhm…"

"You don't have to! I'm sorry, forget I said anything!" he added in a rush.

"No!" I replied too quickly and a smile formed around Edward's lips.

"No?" he asked, raising one perfect eyebrow.

"No… I mean yes… I mean… I'd like to go out with you," I stammered.

"Great! How does tonight, seven o'clock sound?" Edward asked happily.

"Great," I said with enthusiasm and a little more confidence this time.

I still couldn't believe this was happening but I didn't have a choice, I couldn't have dreamt this.

"Great, I'll see you tonight," he said before he turned around and walked away.

"Bye," I said softly.

Not much later there was a knock on my door and there was Alice, looking at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Sooo…?" Alice said a little impatiently.

"So what?" I was teasing her.

"You know what! What happened between you and Edward?" she blurted out.

"Oh that." I smiled at Alice and she stuck out her tongue. "Not much, although he did ask me out for tonight."

The moment I had said the words they were suddenly very real and a nervous feeling crept into my stomach. I wasn't the dating kind, I had never really been on a date and I didn't know what to expect. Especially not on a date with a guy who owns a penthouse and throws fancy parties and everything.

"That is fantastic! I knew he liked you!" Alice exclaimed happily. "So, where are you going?"

"I don't know, he's picking me up at seven," I replied.

"At seven? Then we only have a little more than an hour to get you ready! You're lucky we went shopping last weekend, at least we already have the perfect outfit for you then! I knew that would come in handy soon," Alice rambled while she made her way to my closet.

It didn't take her long to get back to living room, holding my new blue blouse with the denim skirt we had bought with it in her one hand. In her other hand she was holding a pair of heels I had never seen before.

"What are those?" I asked surprised.

"I know you don't own many but these are heels silly," Alice said jokingly.

"I know what they are, but they're not mine! Where did you get them?"

"Oh, I saw them a couple of days ago and I thought they would be perfect for you so I put them in your closet, I guess I forgot to tell you about them," she said while shrugging.

"Right…" I muttered.

"Well, we don't have all day, go get dressed!" Alice ordered.

I did as she asked and the rest of the time until it was seven we, or rather Alice, spent fixing my hair and make-up.

"You look beautiful!" Alice said proudly when she was done.

"Thanks Alice," I said while giving her a hug. She really was a great friend.

"No problem. I'm going to go now. Have fun tonight!" she said enthusiastically. "And don't worry," she added knowingly.

"Thank you Alice, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course! I'm going to need all the details!" she exclaimed.

I laughed and Alice gave me another hug before walking out the door.

It was exactly seven o'clock when the doorbell rang.

"Wow, you look wonderful!" Edward said the moment I opened the door.

"Thank you," I replied while blushing a deep shade of red.

I took a good look at Edward and he looked even more handsome than the previous times I had seen him. His hair was in a carefully arranged, messy do, he was wearing black pants and a black button-down shirt. He was smiling a crooked smile at me that made my heart melt.

"Ready to go?" he asked kindly.

"Yes," I said, still a little taken aback by his appearance.

We went down to the parking lot and Edward guided me towards a silver Volvo that looked almost new.

To my surprise Edward walked with me to the passenger side. Wasn't I supposed to sit here?

Then he opened the door for me and motioned for me to take my seat. I guess chivalry wasn't dead after all.

"Thank you," I mumbled a little shyly.

"You're welcome," Edward said with a bright smile.

"Where are we going?" I asked as soon as Edward had taken his seat and started the engine.

"There's a nice place in town where my family and I go to sometimes, you'll see," he replied.

We spent the entire ride talking, getting to know each other. It turned out it was actually not that hard to talk to Edward and he made me feel comfortable. It was strange but it felt like I had known him my entire life already.

We talked about everything we could think of and I was almost afraid that by the time we had arrived at the restaurant we had nothing left to talk about.

But nothing was less true. The only moment we hadn't talked to each other was to order my food. For some reason Edward didn't order anything at all. It was a bit strange but I was afraid that asking him about it might upset him.

"Do you like it here?" Edward asked after a while.

"It's really great," I said enthusiastically.

"I'm glad." He gave me another one of his crooked smiles and I could feel my entire body become pudding.

The place really was fantastic, it was a rather fancy restaurant and there was a band playing. There was room for dancing but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry a normal conversation with the person you were with. It was quite perfect actually.

I finished my dinner and dessert and I was sad that it meant the night was almost over. I was having a great time with Edward and I didn't want the night to end.

The band started playing a slow song and many couples that had also just finished their dinner were making their way to the dancefloor. I looked over to Edward and to my surprise I saw that he was also rising from his seat. He walked over to my side of the table and held out his hand for me, a serene smile on his face.

"Would you do me the honor of a dance?" he asked me.

There was no point trying to argue with myself. Dancing was never a good plan for me but I wanted him to hold me too badly to pass up this opportunity and the last time I had danced with him it hadn't even been a complete disaster, it had actually been quite easy. So I would just have to hope that it was going to be easy this time as well.

I took Edward's hand and I felt the same electricity as I had felt the first time I had touched him. I looked at him with my eyes wide and from the look on his face I was almost certain he could feel it too. I wasn't sure what it meant but I was hoping it meant that we fit together.

We slowly made our way to the dancefloor just like all those couples had done before us and the moment we were facing each other Edward's arms crept around my waist and we were twirling. It was a great feeling to have him so close to me and feel his strong arms around me, securely holding me to his body.

The song ended too quickly and I didn't want Edward to let go just yet. Luckily Edward seemed to have the same feeling because he never once let go of me as the song flowed into another. He changed the tempo of our dancing easily and surprisingly enough I could keep up.

It took about ten songs before Edward and I were ready to leave the dancefloor. It was already getting quite late and we would have to go back to our building sometime soon.

"We should get going," Edward said after we had been chatting at our table for a little while.

"I guess so," I said reluctantly.

Edward smiled his crooked smile at my tone and I couldn't help but beam back at him.

"I had an amazing time with you Bella," Edward said sincerely before rising from his seat and offering me his hand to do the same.

"Me too," I said, still sad that the night had to end.

The drive back we were mostly silent. At some point Edward placed his hand on top of mine and he left it there the rest of the drive. I had butterflies in my stomach the entire time, I still couldn't believe that a guy this great could be interested in me but I wasn't complaining.

"What are you thinking?" Edward asked me after he had pushed the elevator button.

"I'm just sad the evening is over," I answered truthfully. Although the moment I realized what I had said I blushed heavily and hid my face from his gaze.

I felt his hand under my chin, he was softly trying to pull my face back to him.

"Don't be ashamed," he whispered softly. "I'm sad too, I really had a great time. You're an amazing woman Bella, I'm glad I got to know you a little better tonight. I already knew you were special from what Alice had told me but you surprised me nonetheless. For some reason you're very unpredictable and hard to read for me. I know it doesn't sound like much of a compliment but it really is, I'm usually very good at reading people and you're not like anyone I've ever met before," Edward said softly, making me blush even more.

I wanted to hide my face from him again, I didn't want him to see me blush so idiotically every time but his hand was still holding my face so I couldn't go anywhere.

"That color looks very nice on you," Edward said playfully yet sweetly, causing me to blush even further.

We were almost at my floor and it seemed like everything was going in slow-motion as Edward's expression changed from playful to serious and unsure. He moved his face to mine slowly but steadily and his gaze never left mine. It was like he was asking for my permission with his eyes. I wasn't sure what to do so I just stood there, motionless. Edward hesitated for a moment, probably as a result of my inability to move, I tried to smile reassuringly at him, I wasn't sure I had accomplished it but Edward moved his face again and it wasn't long before his smooth lips brushed against mine.

Edward kissed me softly and sweetly as his hand moved from my face to the back of my neck, securing me to him. Only then could I move and I brought my hands to his hair, softly stroking my hands along his hair, which was surprisingly as soft as it looked, and it felt perfect.

We didn't break the kiss until the elevator doors opened, indicating that we had reached our destination. The sound of the elevator startled me a little and caused me to pull back first. I was a little confused for a short moment before I realized that I had to get out here.

Edward seemed to have recovered more quickly than I had since he was already standing outside of the elevator before I had even made a move. He was holding out his hand for me again and I took it easily. He guided me to my door and I was still a little too dazed to understand what had just happened.

"Goodnight Bella," Edward said softly as he moved in to brush his lips along mine once more.

"Mmm bye," I said lamely.

Edward chuckled before taking my hand and placing a soft kiss on it. The touch of his lips on my hand left a burning trail and for a moment I felt like one of those fans that had shook the hand of their favorite celebrity, I didn't want to wash my hand ever again. Obviously the ridiculousness of my own thoughts caught up with me quickly and I immediately fled into my apartment before I could make even more of a fool out of myself.

The next morning Alice and I went over every little detail of the previous night. I was very surprised when she told me that Edward had called her earlier to tell her all about the date as well. From what Alice told me he had really had a great time and he had thanked her for introducing me to him. The thought of him actually having feelings for me made my head spin and my stomach go crazy.

"I told you he likes you!" Alice said smugly.

"Thanks Alice," I said sincerely.

"No problem, just doing my job as your best friend," she added jokingly. "I'm just glad you and my brother got along, it's going to be so much fun to have you as my sister-in-law!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Alice! It's just been one date!" I said while rolling my eyes at her. Hoping her words wouldn't trigger too big a part of my imagination, that would only end up getting me hurt and I wasn't too interested in that.

"I know but it was a good date wasn't it?" she said in a way she would use to explain something to a little child.

"It was a great date, but still," I said, fighting as hard as I could to keep my own thoughts in check.

"Either way, you'd better make me your maid of honor at your wedding!" she added stubbornly.

"If there's going to be a wedding somewhere, sometime, you'll get to be my maid of honor," I promised her, hoping that would stop her from continuing this conversation.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed happily before pulling me in for a hug.

That evening I walked into my room a little tired from Alice's never dying enthusiasm. I was surprised to see an envelope on my doormat.

Dear Bella,

I didn't want to ask Alice for your phone number in case you didn't want me to have it or something, so I decided to leave you a little note.

I had a great time last night and I hope you haven't changed your mind about our date either. I don't really want to wait another week before I run into you again in the elevator or something so I was wondering if you wanted to meet up again soon?

Edward

I read the note over and over again. He had put his phone number at the bottom of the note and I decided that I was going to give him a call. It was going to be something that would take more courage than anything I ever had to do before and I was pretty scared. But Edward had gone through all that trouble to leave me a note and he had been nothing but a real gentleman the entire time yesterday. I was just as eager, if not more so, as he was to see him again.

I quickly picked up the phone and dialed his number.

"Hello?" he answered the phone and he sounded a little sleepy.

I could mentally slap myself as I realized that I had forgotten to check what time it was before calling him. It was already midnight, this was so rude!

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that it was so late already," I muttered into the phone.

"Bella?" Edward said.

"Yes, hi, I hope I didn't wake you?"

"That's alright, I'm glad you called!" he said a little more cheerfully.

"Thanks for the note." I was happy we were talking over the phone, I didn't have to worry about blushing or looking stupid in front of him, it made talking freely a little easier. Although that could also be a very bad thing, since I already seemed to tell him most of the things that popped into my head as it was.

"You're welcome," he replied sweetly. "How was your day?" he asked with a smile in his voice. He probably knew I had spent the entire day with Alice already.

I told him about my day, leaving all the embarrassing details about how I'd been talking about nothing but him out, and he told me all about his. We chatted for hours before Edward asked me to go out with him again. I eagerly said yes, since that was exactly the reason I had called, I wanted to see him again. We talked a little more until I noticed that it was already four o'clock and we had been at this for almost 4 hours.

"Oh!" I exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked worried.

"I just realized it's four in the morning already!" I said a little ashamed.

"Wow! We've been talking for that long already?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, you must be tired," I said apologetically.

"Why are you apologizing? I'm keeping you from your sleep as well right?" he asked playfully.

"I guess so," I replied hesitantly. "So should we go to sleep then?"

"I guess so," he repeated my words and I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Sleep tight."

"Sweet dreams Bella, I'll see you soon!" he promised.

"Bye."

"Goodnight," he said before we both hung up the phone.

I hadn't even realized how tired I was until my head hit the pillow. I fell asleep almost instantly, more happy than I had ever been before.

A/N: So that was it for this one shot, I hope you liked it :) It was a bit more standard and the kind of fluff most of you are used to of me by now but I hope you liked it nonetheless :D Any kind of comments are welcome :) I love knowing what you thought of my stories! I'll update the final One Shot tomorrow, it's already written, I just don't know exactly when I'll have the time to edit and upload it but I'll try to make it asap :) Hopefully until tomorrow!
