BPOV

I woke up the next morning in an unusually good mood. Things were looking up. Charlie had forgiven me. Well, maybe not completely. But, at least he was speaking to me once again. Things were fixed with Edward. We were once again on the path to eternal bliss. Eternal bliss. Such a strange concept. I stretched lazily, reminding myself somewhat of a cat. I groaned at the thought of getting up. Then, I remembered with a smile. Today was Saturday! No getting up for me, at least not for a while. I had just lain down for some more luscious rest when I heard an insistent rapping upon the door. I groaned. Who was that? What did they want? Maybe if I ignored them, they would simply go away.

Ten minutes later, I realised that this tactic was not working. So I got up and stumbled down the staircase. I wrenched open the door and growled, ''What?!'' I was shocked to see Edward standing there. Looking impeccable, as always. And I was standing there with bed-head, in a shirt and sweatpants, with my lip curling at the audacity of whoever had been at the door. Heat rose in my cheeks. I tried to subtly subdue my hair. No such luck. He suddenly began to chuckle. Great, now he was laughing at me. I glared at him, but he just laughed harder. I stomped away from him and sat down on the couch in the living room. Of course, I wasn't really angry at him, just embarrassed.

He came in and sat down beside me. He bent his head towards my own and whispered in my ear, ''Hello, beautiful.'' The sound sent chills down my spine and all embarrassment was forgotten. My cheeks went scarlet, but for an entirely different reason. ''So,'' he began, ''since Charlie's gone fishing, why don't we do something today. After all, you are my beautiful, wonderful wife and I cannot recall that we have even had a proper first date. I would like to rectify that.'' Wait a minute. Charlie was fishing, how did he know that? I didn't even know that!

''How did you know that Charlie was gone fishing?'' I asked suspiciously. Surprise made a brief appearance on his features, and then was gone as soon as it appeared.

''I saw the note.'' He replied smoothly. However, I could not shake the feeling that he was lying to me. Though that may have simply been pure paranoia.

''Um, okay then.'' I replied lamely. ''Sorry.'' I muttered.

''No problem.'' He said. ''Now,'' he continued, rubbing his hands together conspiratorially, ''where should we go today?''

''I don't know.'' I laughed. ''You pick.'' He tapped a finger to his lips, an overly thoughtful look upon his face.

''Hmm,'' he mused. ''So many options, so little time.'' I laughed and punched him on the shoulder playfully.

''Ow,'' he said, looking hurt. However, he then erupted into laughter. Thus, ruining the effect.

''I've got it!'' he snapped his fingers. ''We shall go to see a movie in Port Angeles, then I, being the chivalrous gentleman that I am, will treat you to dinner.''

''Sounds good to me,'' I replied.

Then I ran upstairs to get dressed. I threw on a t-shirt and jeans. Nothing fancy. In all honesty, I couldn't be bothered. It didn't seem to make a difference anyway, because when I came down he told me I was gorgeous and proceeded to kiss me for so long I nearly passed out. Did I mention that I love him?

We went into the cinema and saw the movie. But we didn't actually watch it. I can't even remember what it was called, let alone the plot. I think that it was some kind of romcom or something. We simply took the time to enjoy each other's company, and act like a normal couple. Something that we hadn't been able to do much of with all the drama as of late. We came out of the cinema laughing; Edward had his arm around my shoulders. The sky was overcast, threatening rain. Typical. Edward then began to lead me to the restaurant in which we would eat. When we arrived, my mouth gaped in surprise. It was the most fancy, and expensive, restaurant in all of Port Angeles. I couldn't afford this. I pointed this out to Edward, ashamed. He laughed at me, telling me that I wouldn't pay for a thing, he was paying. I couldn't let him do that! I didn't care how rich he was, I wasn't going to let him spend a fortune on food for me. It wasn't fair.

''Edward, I can't let you do that. It's too much.'' He looked at me strangely, perhaps how a person would look at a monkey speaking French.

''But Bella, you are my wife. Remember? What's mine is yours and all that. Now come on. There's gorgeous food in there with your name on it, Mrs Cullen.'' He grinned and steered me inside. I was so shocked that he had called me by his last name that I did nothing to stop him. That had probably been his plan. But he'd never called me that before. Mrs Cullen. It had a nice ring to it. Yeah, I liked it.

When we were seated in the restaurant I realised that I was grossly underdressed. I should have bothered. But I didn't know Edward would bring me here. My shame increased. I attempted to avoid the disdainful glances of those around us. The glances that stated, you do not belong here! As if I hadn't already known. Edward seemed oblivious to the animosity of our fellow diners. He seemed to have eyes only for me. Which was, of course, extremely flattering, but it made me blush ten shades of scarlet. Our waitress came, eventually. I gasped. It seemed that luck was against me today. The woman was gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. A goddess. Just looking at her made me shrink in my oh so casual jeans and t-shirt. This was Edward's equal. Who he should be with. Someone with the same magnitude of beauty as he did. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran off with her right at this moment. They were a match made in heaven.

''Are you ready to order, sir?'' she asked Edward flirtatiously. She pushed her cleavage as far out as possible as she did so. Save for a withering glare, she completely ignored me. However, to my, and her, utter surprise, he barely glanced at her.

''I'm quite fine,'' he said, ''Bella, what would you like?'' he gazed at me intently, as if my answer was of the utmost importance. The waitress glared at me. My cheeks once again began to redden.

''Um,'' I began, ''I'll have a coke and uh, the mushroom ravioli, please.'' I finished, picking the first thing I read on the menu.

''And you, sir?'' she purred at Edward. Again, he ignored her attempts at seduction.

''I'm fine, thank you.'' he replied through clenched teeth. The waitress stomped dejectedly away. Wow. The rest of the dinner was uneventful. Edward held my hand as I ate, and he, didn't. Not a bite did he eat. I wanted to ask him why, but I knew that he would simply try to convince me it was because he had a big breakfast, or he would have a big dinner at home, etc, etc. And I would believe him. But I wasn't giving him the chance. Even though I had imagined him in my room that night, there was still something off about him. And I was going to find out what it was. Come hell or high water, I would.

Edward asked for the check. The waitress seemed to have given up on Edward. Her failed attempts all through dinner seemed to have gotten the message. It took her long enough. Though, she seemed to want to have one more shot at it. I saw her slip a piece of paper into the bill. I would bet anything that it was her phone number. Edward took it out, looked at it, then placed it on the table. He left it there and stood up to go and pay the bill. She had seen the entire incident and her face fell. I almost felt sympathy for her, until she sneered at me. I felt like sticking my tongue out at her, but I refused to stoop to her level. Though, I did get my revenge. As we were leaving, and still in her line vision, I slipped my arm around Edward's waist and told him that I loved him. He looked down at me and smiled.

''I love you too.'' He replied, then kissed the top of my head as he slipped his arm around my shoulders. I looked back to see the waitress with her mouth hanging open. And even though I knew it was childish, it made me feel good. Edward wanted me. Not her. Edward loved me. Not her. So there!

Edward dropped me home. He walked me to my door and kissed me softly. I invited him inside, but unfortunately he said he had to go. He said that he would see me tomorrow. He kissed me once more on the lips and seemingly dragged himself away from me. With one last wave farewell, he slipped into his car and drove off. I watched him go until I could no longer see him. Then I entered the house and leaned back against the front door. I sighed. Tomorrow couldn't come quickly enough. I looked at the clock and gave a small yelp of surprise. We had been gone for hours! Even longer than I had thought. Charlie would be home soon. I had to get dinner started.

I was musing to myself about how I would broach the topic with Edward when I heard the front door open. Tomorrow, I promised myself. Tomorrow I would get my answers. I began to set the table and serve the food when Charlie entered the kitchen.

''Smells great, Bells.'' He said. I blushed and murmured thanks. It was only then that I noticed the two people who had come in behind Charlie. Two men. One pushed another in a wheelchair. The man in the wheelchair was about Charlie's age. The other was about my own, perhaps older. A father and his son, maybe? They were of Native American descent.

''Bella,'' he began. ''I would like to introduce you to Billy black, a good friend of mine, and his son, Jacob.''

Oohh! And the plot thickens! Kind of a cliffy. Not much really happened, kind if a filler. A bit of fluff and happiness for Bella. I figured that she deserved it. Poor thing. Heehee. I wonder what will happen next chapter. Now Jacob is in the picture? Will Edward tell her that he is a vampire? Will she find out about the bet? Will she meet Carlisle and esme? Will she fall victim to Alice and her makeovers? Will we finally learn the outcome of Edward's having lost the bet? What ever will happen? Do you know how you find out? REVIEW!! If I do get a substantial amount of reviews, I will be really nice and update tomorrow. I get the feeling that the next chapter will be worth it! So please review!!

Thanks,

Kate.
