A./N. I'm at the beach! WOO! You gotta love that salty water! Except when it gets in your mouth. Anyways, I promised a longer chapter and your going to get one! I'm not as tired so I'll be able to write more! On with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight… Stephenie Meyer does.

Bella's POV

Knock! Knock!

I awoke to the sound of knocking on the front door.

As I got out of bed, I looked at the clock. 3:30 PM? I had never slept in that late!

I ran downstairs and flung the door open. It was Edward, and I was probably a mess. I blushed a deep red. "Sorry! I just woke up, otherwise I would actually look decent."

He smiled, "You look beautiful as always. And sorry I woke you up."

He thinks I'm beautiful? I smiled so wide and blushed so deep I thought my face would permanently stay like that. Never in my life had a guy called me beautiful; other than my dad, but that's different.

"Th-thank you, and it's okay."

Smooth Bella., I thought to myself.

Edward looked into my eyes, searching for something. "You don't think you're beautiful do you?" he asked suddenly.

I had to admit, I never thought I was beautiful. I didn't even think I was pretty. I shook my head. "No, I know I'm plain."

He lifted his hand and caressed my cheek. "Well, I know you're beautiful. You're far from plain."

I think I just melted. My mind was in a daze and I just stared at him. I couldn't look away.

"Bella? You there?" a hand was waving in front of my face and I snapped out of my trance.

"Sorry." That was embarrassing.

Edward just smiled and moved his hand from my face to my hand. "So, do you want to, oh I don't know, hang out for a while?"

Was he asking me out? Of course I would hang out with him! Even if he does mean as 'just friends'.

"Mr. Cullen, are you asking me out?" I had to know.

He looked a little nervous. Edward Cullen nervous? Now there's a first.

"Only if you want me to be," he finally replied.

I smiled, "Of course I'll hand out with you."

He smiled. "Well, while you get ready, I think I'll help myself to some TV." And with that he was walking to the TV in the living room.

I felt a little pain in my chest, oh right, I have a broken rib and my heart is beating too fast. I walked upstairs and started the shower. When the water was hot enough to where I could barely stand it, I got in and washed off from the previous day. After washing my hair with my favorite strawberry scented shampoo, I got out of the shower, dried of and picked out today's clothes.

I decided to wear something I had bought while shopping with Alice and Edward. I chose a dark blue sundress that barley went past my knees, black flip-flops, and a black jacket so I could have at least the slightest amount of warmth for the day.

After drying my hair and dressing for the day, I walked back down the stairs and into the living room where Edward was watching the Chicago Cubs play the Seattle Mariners.

"C'mon, strike him out…" so he was for the Cubs…I think…

"Which team are you for?" I asked him.

He turned to look at me. "Don't hate me, but I'm for the Cubs."

"Why?" He wasn't for Seattle? I don't mind, I mean, I'm not really a huge baseball fan, but still.

"Chicago is my home town, so I'm routing for them." Oh, that makes sense.

"You're from Chicago? I didn't know that. And I don't hate you, I'm not the biggest fan of baseball, or any sport for that matter. I'm too clumsy to enjoy playing sports, and I don't understand them."

He smiled at me and turned off the TV. He patted the seat next to him. "It looks like we have a lot to learn about each other."

I sat next to him and we talked about our lives before we met. I found out that his parents had died when he was 7 years old. Then Dr. and Mrs. Cullen adopted him. At least he had a loving family, that's all that matters.

After a while of just talking, Edward was holding my hand and staring at me.

"Do you want to go have dinner?" he asked nervously.

He was cute. Why would anyone be nervous around me. It's not like I'm the most popular person around. After all I get beaten at school every day for no apparent reason.

I smiled, "Yes." My voice shook.

I have to admit, I'm kind of nervous about the date too. It'll be my first date after all.

"Did I mention that you look absolutely beautiful?" he asked while we walked out to his car.

"No," I blushed. He always found a way to make me weak in the knees.

No wonder I loved him.

Edward's POV

Bella was blushing a brilliant red. She was so beautiful. And she had to be cold in that sundress. I know she has a coat on, but that still must me cold. I opened her door for her and she shyly got in the car.

I quickly made my way around to the driver's side at a human pace and started the car, cranking the heat all the way up while I was at it. She should warm up now.

"Do you have any particular requests as to where we eat?" I didn't want to take her somewhere where she didn't like the food. That would just be embarrassing.

"No not really, but I do like Italian, but that would be too expensive."

"Nonsense, I'm buying you Italian." With that, I drove to Port Angeles.

Soon, we pulled up to a restaurant called La Bella Italia. When we walked in, I immediately heard the hostess's thoughts.

Isn't he the handsome one. Yum. Who's she? His cousin? His sister? Well, even if she's his date, she's nothing compared to me.

The hostess had a cruel, jealous mind. It annoyed me that she thought that she could steal me away from Bella. That would never happen.

"A table for two?" She had been staring.

"Oh of course! Right this way. She lead us to a spot that was quite crowded to a family sized table.

Might as well not help her with anything. I am really starting to not like this girl. I handed her a 50 dollar bill and asked for a different table; somewhere more private, or at least less crowded.

50 dollars for a different table? And somewhere more private. Hmm. Maybe getting him will be harder than I thought. I sighed. It was going to be a long evening.

After dinner and many vulgar thoughts from our waitress, Bella and I left the restaurant and went for a walk on the boardwalk. I was actually quite beautiful; a tourist trap.

I was holding Bella's hand and we both had smiles on our faces. Today seemed to have turned out quite well after all.

A./N. Well, I'm turning in so I can get up in the morning to go swimming. Thankfully this chapter was longer than my last, but I got tired and I need to sleep. I hope you enjoyed it! Review!
