Sorry!!

My reasons why this chapter is so late: I tried to write in before my vacation but I couldn't!! Then I spent a week at the beach- with no internet access!!! Then, I had writers block, but when I finally finished… the internet went down!! Ugh!!!

Anyways, thanks to the reviewers and readers!!! Reviewers: Jade Lyssy Swan, Lily Swan, biteme1994, twilover6638, BerryEbilBunny, ... , The Six Foot Tall Giant, Vampire-Skye, Gayle7, Mollzy, Crystaltears, Edward's Doll, naley4ever2333, ParamoreDecoy, angelplusbuffyequals4ever, GGHSMFREAK, and barco chica. Good job, guys!!! :)

I know this is REALLY late but…. For the New Moon Trailer… Anyone else laugh hysterically at the wolf-Jacob transformation? I did. My mom and my brother screamed, "Shut up, Bonnie!" Ah, yes… I'm so loved…

Now, there was a review that made me laugh so I decided to share part of it with you:

'"Well, same thing for you too. You are way too pretty, Edward." I silently blushed at this.'
Hehe! I'm sorry? What? :p How can a blush NOT be silent? Bwhaha! I can just imagine it now:
Edward: "Jeez Bella!"
Bella: "What?!"
Edward: "Keep it down will you?"
Bella: "W-what? I wasn't even talking?"
Edward: "Your blush is flipping deafening! My ears hurt!" –Lily Swan

Hope you enjoyed! Now, onto the chapter!

Bella POV won!! :)

(Ps: this is preparation of the date)

Bella POV

After a few hours of worrying about Edward with Alice, I soon realized I had much more to be scared of. When Alice came back, she wore a huge smile on her face. She was carrying clothes in her tiny arms. No!

"Bella, we only have an hour since I had to help Edward, so be prepared. I'm going all out," Alice commanded.

She practically threw me in a chair and started to work on me. Honestly, she didn't have to do too much. I mean, I'm a vampire. It's pointless putting makeup on.

With ten minutes to spare, Alice was done. My hair was curled; I had a skirt and a nice blouse on, so I was ready. But, I had to wear the heels. They were perfect for the outfit, Alice claimed. I don't like wearing heels! I don't care that I'm a vampire! I just do not like them!

Through the window on the second floor, I saw a shiny black car pull up. I raised an eyebrow at Alice. No way that's Edward's car!

She shrugged at me, smiling while racing for the door. She gracefully pranced down the staircase.

Alice opened the door when he arrived and told him, "She'll be down in a second." I could practically hear the grin in her voice.

"Thanks, Alice, for… everything," Edward muttered to her.

Alice looked smug as I walked down the stairs. I rolled my eyes at her.

Then I saw Edward. It suddenly made me nervous about the date. I reflexively bit my lip.

"Bella, you look… stunning," Edward told me as he blushed.

I winked and replied, "Thanks, and you look pretty dashing yourself." His blush noticably got redder. Alice left to give us some privacy, which I mentally thanked her for.

"Shall we leave now, Miss Cullen?" Edward smiled politely.

I smiled as a response to his. "Of course, Mr. Masen."

Edward opened the door for me like the perfect gentleman! It flattered me, and I would've blushed if I could. I told him, "You're quite the gentleman." Edward laughed, which got me confused. "Why'd you laugh?" I asked.

"You do not know how happy my mom would be if she heard you say that," Edward told me as I joined in the laughter.

After we drove for awhile, I could tell we were heading to the beach. "And quite the romantic, as well," I added. "Good thing we aren't going to the La Push beach," I said more quietly. I didn't want to get in any more trouble with the wolves.

Edward nodded. "Alice told me about that, so I decided this one would be better." I smiled appreciatively.

We arrived at our destination, and I heard the music in the air. I smiled and said, "My song." It was perfect and so cute!

Edward grinned sheepishly. "I wanted to play it for you again, but Alice had a vision about it, so she brought me to a recording studio. It was pretty wild, actually."

I grinned at him. "That's great! It was a fantastic idea on Alice's part!"

He grinned wider. "And now, we can do this…" He held out his hand for a dance. I smiled and nodded in agreement.

I grabbed his hand, and we gracefully danced across the sand. He twirled me a few times, and after, I commented while we were still dancing, "You are a very good dancer, Edward."

Edward smiled in response and said, "As are you, Bella."

Even as the songs transitioned, we continued to dance. It was another song on the piano. "You wrote this?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, Alice found my other songs and insisted I also record them," Edward said blushing.

"Remind me to thank her for that." I grinned as Edward rolled his eyes. "Edward! You really are amazing! Watch out, Mozart! There's a new prodigy in town!"

Edward laughed at that. "Nice, Bella." I smiled happily. This was the perfect date…

After we danced for awhile, we laid down on the sand next to each other. Above us were a million stars shining for us. I smiled and closed my eyes, to remember this night forever. I felt Edward shift beside me as he wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on the top of my head.

I looked up at him, and we just smiled at each other. "I love you, Edward," I murmured.

"I love you too, Bella," he said softly. He kissed my forehead and hesitated, which made me smile.

"You can kiss me on the lips if you want," I offered.

"I might take up on that," he whispered. He slowly leaned over, and our lips met. It was as good as last time, which means it was amazing. The only bad thing about it was the burning. I really needed to control that part in me.

Edward broke the kiss before I did, again breathing deeply. I laughed. "Sorry, sometimes I forget I'm kissing a human," I apologized. But, when I breathed in, I winced in pain, but Edward didn't notice.

He laughed at my apologetic tone. "It's fine. I'll be willing to kiss you everyday if it only means I have to breathe heavier than before."

I looked up to the sky, breaking my gaze from Edward. "It was a great idea coming here. It's really beautiful."

"Yeah, it is." I noticed that when he said it, his gaze didn't look to the sky. It remained on me.

I placed my head on his chest and murmured, "I wish I could stay here forever." It was the truth. It would kill me to leave Edward.

"The feeling is mutual," he whispered.

We laid there together for awhile until one of us spoke up. It was Edward, surprisingly. "Bella…" he started.

"Edward…" I mocked, waiting for him to finish.

He grinned and continued, "I want you to meet my parents."

Without hesitation I replied, "Of course! It only makes sense, since you met mine." I grinned back. I truthfully wanted to meet his parents. I hope they like me…

"Bella? Why are you nervous? You're biting your lip nervously," Edward asked. My eyes widened. I was biting my lip? Dang it! Stupid habit!

"I'm just a little anxious about it," I slightly smiled at him.

He laughed and looked up at the black sky. "You don't need to be. They are abnormally nice parents." I saw a gleam of respect when he spoke about them, and I smiled at that.

"I can't wait to meet them," I told him.

We stared at each other silently. I felt like his bright emerald eyes were telling me a story. They enchanted me, and I didn't want to look away.

He leaned towards me slowly, silently warning me that he was about to kiss me. Again, as our lips touched, it was… fantastic. Like fireworks bursting in the air.

And his scent… It was almost too much to resist, so I threw myself back, breathing in and out through my mouth, but the burning still wouldn't cease.

"Sorry," Edward whispered, trying to hide the hurt in his voice, but I could detect it.

"No, Edward. It's my fault. Just give me a minute," I spoke softly. I truthfully didn't blame him. It's my fault for putting him in danger.

He stayed silent until I came back. "Sorry," he murmured again.

"Please, Edward. Do not blame this on yourself! It's my fault for putting you in danger!" I told him, aggravation creeping on me. Why was I doing this? Edward could get killed!

"I don't care if I'm in danger, Bella. Because I know you won't hurt me," Edward said softly.

"I don't deserve that trust, Edward," I whispered, closing my eyes. It was the truth, no matter what Edward had said.

When I opened my eyes, he looked into them and said, "I trust you with my life."

I sighed, "You prove that by being here with me."

He smiled. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." I smiled at him and kissed him softly on the lips again. To my happiness, it didn't burn a much. Maybe I was getting used to it.

How'd you like it?

Any ideas for the next chapter? I'll be willing to take any.

Also, Edward or Bella POV?

Anyway, can we get to 308? I believe in you!! :)
