QUICKIE: When writing your reviews, instead of just saying you liked it, tell me WHAT you liked, or hell, what you didn't like lol. Any input is good input. Enjoy.

-Alice's POV-

I could feel her eyes on me, noticing everything about me. She wasn't far away from figuring out what I am, I'm sure. Keeping this part of me a secret from her was really hard, especially when she is worrying about me and why I'm not eating. I couldn't just tell her, 'hey I'm a vampire'. She'd think I was crazy, wouldn't she? The best way was just for her to figure it out herself, and see what her reaction to it is. I glanced up at her, her eyes on mine. I saw her eyebrows go down slightly, forming a small crease on her skin. She must have noticed that my eyes are darker today. Just another thing to compile in her head, that will all add up later on.

"Can I ask you something?"

This time she raised both of her eyebrows, surprised for some reason.

"Sure, anything." She said.

"What do you consider us?"

"Well, since this is our second date...doesn't that mean we are, well, dating?"

"Yes, I suppose it does." I said with a smile.

"Now, I want to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Are we dating...exclusively?"

"Yes. Unless you don't want to be...?"

"Oh, no...I do. I just...you know...was wondering what you wanted. If we wanted the same thing."

I reached my hand across the skinny booth table and held it out for her. She took my hand in hers, and I saw red rush to her face as she shyly looked down at the table. She gently rubbed her fingers across my hand, making tiny circles, as we waited for the waitress to come back. I really wanted to lean over and kiss her, but I had something more romantic in mind.

-Bella's POV-

A few minutes later the waitress came back and I ordered, Alice still holding my hand. That seemed to deter the pretty waitress but I had a feeling that wouldn't totally stop her. When my food came, she release my hand.

"Are you sure I can't get you anything?" Asked the waitress.

"Positive." Was all Alice said, and she left.

I felt weird being the only one eating, especially if Alice did in fact have a problem. I stabbed a piece of ravioli and stuck it in Alice's direction.

"What?" She said, pretending not to know what I wanted.

"I feel weird eating since you aren't, so if you just eat this one little bite, I will be happy."

She looked at it for a few seconds, then back at me. She took a silent deep breath and leaned forward, and took the piece into her mouth. Two chews and she swallowed it down.

"Thank you."

"Anything for you." She said, taking a napkin and wiping her mouth off.

At least I got her to eat something. It made me feel a tad bit better, but I still worried. I mean, if it was that hard to get her to eat a tiny piece of ravioli, did she ever eat a full meal? After I finished eating, we sat there talking for a little while. Well, it was mostly me talking and her asking questions. It was dark by now so we decided to head out. After we got out the door she stopped me.

"I have a surprise for you." She said as she lead me down the sidewalk on the side of the restaurant.

She opened a wooden gate and a wonderland of lights was before me. All of the small trees, bushes and fencing was covered in white lights. I stepped further in and saw a small lit up gazebo in the middle of everything. There was faint instrumental music coming from inside the restaurant, and it was the most beautiful thing I had witnessed in a long time.

"Wow." Was all that I could say as she pulled me to the gazebo.

"May I have this dance?" She asked.
