Recap:
Once she was in her room though the world had other plans. She heard a knock on the front door and Alice yelled for her to get it. She opened the door to see Edward standing on her front steps.
"Would you like to come have a quick dinner with me, I have something I would like to ask you about." With a sigh she slipped on her shoes for the third time that day and headed out the door.

March 4 8:46 pm
Edward POV
He hadnt intended on driving to Bella's house, it had kind of just happened that way. Since they had left the mall all he could think about was Bella's laugh, or Bella' smile, or the way bit her lip when she was nervous. He had tried numerous times to make his mind think of something else, anything else but he couldnt. He knew that his infatuation with her wasnt professional, or anything close to the way a colleague/boss should feel but as hard as he tried he couldnt change. So instead of sitting parked outside of her house like a psychotic stalker he had decided to go knock on her door and ask her to a 'business dinner'. Before she had opened the door he had had no idea as to what to say to her. Hell he didnt even know why he was even there in the first place.
Well it was too late to change any of that now because at that moment they were sitting in his silver 2010 Volvo s60 on their way to a restaraunt that he had not made any reservations to. She was facing out the window with her hands in her lap, the silence wasnt awkward but it was exactly comfortable either. He decided to reach over and turn on some music, music from a mixed CD that Emmett had made for him the year before started playing. He desperately tried to change it when he realized what was playing. A few seconds later he heard an adorable giggle that was followed by full on laughter from the seat next to him. He turned to see Bella giving him a questioning look, one eyebrow lifted with a smaile on her face.
"I didnt peg you for someone who listens to Shaggy." She managed to get out between giggles.
"I'm sorry I blame this song solely on Emmett."
"It's ok. Me and Ali used to sing this all the time in college its actually pretty catchy. Can I turn it up?" She asked. He must have looked shocked because she bursted out in another fit of giggles but he managed to nod.
But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her
(It wasn't me)
Heard the scream getting louder
(It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
He couldnt take his eyes off of her. She was now singing along to the music, it was actually a pretty funny sight to see. She was bouncing in her seat, her eyes closed as she rocked her back and forth, smiling the whole time. After awhile he started to sing to occasionally breaking out in loud belly laughs. Soon they were singing together and laughing like maniacs.
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her
From what she was about to see
Why should she believe me
When I told her it wasn't me
She was right, the song was pretty catcht, he hadnt realized it but he was tapping the steering wheel to the beat. They were having fun, something that he wasnt used to doing with his almost uptight attitude and long hours at work. He couldnt even remember the last time he had sang along to a song, yeah it was that bad. The girl sitting next to him had changed him, even if it was small it was still a change and he had no doubt that the more time he spent with her the more changes he would see. Right now she was smiling and singing and dancing, having so much fun and looking so happy doing it. She was amazing.
The song finished and then switched to a song that he knew by heart. He let out a chuckle.
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)
Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
He sang along to every word, never missing a single one. His parents had made sure that by the time he was seven he had known the whole song perfectly. His mother had said to him, "No child of mine will have never heard of Guns n Roses!" Five seconds after that she had thrown in a CD and her and his father has danced around their living room having a karaoke night, Emmett was sitting in the background munching on chips at the time watching their parents act like psychos.
"This song is overplayed." Bella said from beside him, it was like his whole world froze. She said what now?
"Excuse me, what was that blasphemy that just escaped your mouth?" He said looking over at her with a mock angry face. She turned and gave him the same look right back.
"I said. This. Song. Is. Over-played." She repeated slower than the first time.
"This song is amazing, how dare you diss Guns n Roses!" He said playfully sending her a scowl.
"I did no such thing. Guns n Roses is one of my gavorite bands. But this song happened to be overly played by wannabes who think they are true Guns n Roses fans. They cant even name five of their songs." She said letting out a huff of annoyance.
"Welcome to the Jungle, My Michelle, You're Crazy, Sweet Child O' Mine, Rocket Queen, that would be five right?"
"List your top five favorite songs ever."
"Every Breath You Take- The Police, Talk Dirty To Me- Poison, Make Some Noise- Beastie Boys, You Really Got Me- Kinks, and Dazed and Confused- Led Zepplin."
"Nice taste in music my friend." She paused for a second and nodded her head. "I do believe you have redeemed yourself from your wannabe Guns n Roses fan status."
"Good. Now what are your top five?"
"I Hate Myself For Loving You- Joan Jett, Welcome to the Jungle- Guns N Roses, Girls Girls Girls- Motley Crue, Superfreak- Rick James, and Three Little Birds- Bob Marley."
Every one of the songs she had named were on his playlist on his computer. They shared the same taste in music. Thats a plus that means he doesnt have to worry about finding music to play that they can both listen to.
"Hey Edward?"
"Yeah?"
"Where are we going?" Shit! He had completely missed the restaraunt and were headed towards Central Park. Just then an idea popped in his head.
"Change of plans. Do you like chinese takeout?"
"No I live for chinese takeout."
"Good." About twenty minutes later they had gotten their food and took a seat at one of the benches in the park. Their seat faced out toward the river and the city that was behind it. The streetlight above them illuminated the area around the but the lights of the city were a special kind of beauty that one often doesnt take the time to stop and see.
"This is real beauty. The kind that doesnt seem to happen very often. When it feels like its just you and the world. Everything seems shut off, it feels like magic." Bella said from the seat beside him, it was almost as if she had read his mind. He looked at her at that moment and saw not a girl sitting beside him but a woman, a sweet, kind, intellegent, funny woman.
"So what is is that you drove all the way to my house to drag me out here to tell me?" She asked before taking a bite of her sesame chicken.
"Would you be mad if I said there was no reason, I just decided to lure you out of the house with the promise of a nice hot meal?" He asked with a huge grin.
"No but I would wonder why you didnt just say that." She replied lightly punching his arm with a half assed fake glare that wa ruined by the smile forming on her face.
There they sat for another hour talking about their families and sharing funny stories, often laughing at the others misfortune. When they looked at the clock and saw that it was nearly eleven o'clock and they had to work the next day they decided to head home. When they reached her house they both said goodbye to one anither.
"Bella I had a lot of fun tonight thank you." He said giving her a smile as she opened her door.
"So did I. Goodnight Edward."
"Goodnight Bella."
He watched her walk herself to the door and then go in. He couldnt help but notice the way her hips swayed and her skin glowed in the moonlight bringing out her beauty once again for him to notice and admire.
That night as he laid in bed sleeping all he could dream about was the lovely brown haired girl that he would see again tomorrow and even in the deep endless realm of his dream filled sleep that made him happy.
