I had to think of the perfect date. I wasn't honestly sure what I wanted to do, just that I wanted to blow her away.
After she called me and told me that she could meet me earlier my heart jumped out of my chest. I was far too anxious for my own good but I didn't care.
I decided to talk to someone that would know what Bella loves, someone who knew her inside and out. Alice.
"Hello?"
"Alice? Is Bella with you right now?"
"Who is this?"
"Please don't say anything if Bella is around, Edward." I heard a squeal on the other line
"She isn't here. She just left actually."
"That's great. I need your help. I'm planning a date for her, I have a small idea for something but I need help of what to do before. I can trust you to keep this secret?"
"Of course you can." I paused for a minute thinking if I really could. I decided I should since Bella does.
"Alright. My friend owns a reserve a little way away from here. It has a beautiful trail and an even more beautiful garden. I was going to take her horse back riding after we have dinner at the private restaurant there. I need an idea of what to do before." Again there was a squeal on the line.
"That sounds so perfect! She would love that." She paused for a moment. "She has been talking about wanting to see a ballet for the longest, she just doesn't want to go alone. Perfect chance." I could hear the smile in her voice. "There is one playing Saturday night. It is her favorite."
"Excellent. Thank you so much Alice!"
"You are far more than welcome. I will have her ready for you by twelve o'clock."
"Alright. Again thank you."
"You're welcome. Bye Edward."
"Bye."
After I hung the phone up threw myself off the couch in excitement and accidentally ran in to the coffee table knocking over the lamp and breaking it. I could care less, I could not wait for this day to come. I immediately called the ballet studio and reserved the best tickets they had for their show at the theater.

"Shopping!" Was the first thing I heard when I returned home. "Let's go Bella!"
"I thought we were waiting until tomorrow."
"Nope. We are going to the spa tomorrow. Get dressed and met me in twenty minutes."
Oh boy. I was beyond thrilled.
"Stop whining and humor me." Alice said as if she read my mind. I rolled my eyes and slipped into some jeans and a t-shirt. "Honestly. Bella, you couldn't find anything else? Not even a dressy t-shirt?"
"Let's just get in the car and go." I said grabbing her arm and pulling her out the door.
"We need to get you new outfits for work while we're out." She told me while hitting her hand on the steering wheel to the beat of the music we were playing in her car.
We arrived at a shopping mall to do Alice's dirty work. Luckily, shopping for work wouldn't be too bad. Jay wasn't that strict on what we wore, no jeans, but something a little dressy. That part wouldn't be to bad.
"Let's go in Gap first." Alice called while pulling me towards the door. She instantly picked out a simple black dress that came just above the knees. It wasn't too bad so I didn't complain. What I did complain about was after I had the dress, two skirts, three shirts, and a pair of dress pants...Alice decided to pay for them. (Her family was well off, she didn't mind spending the money, but I didn't like it.)
"Alice, you are not buying all of this. That's ridiculously expensive."
"I don't mind Bella. If I had my way we wouldn't be in a Gap or even a shopping mall." She looked around disgusted. She wanted things like Gucci but she had to make do with what we have in Phoniex.
"Alice, please let me pay you back."
"No. Stop talking about it." She said after the lady handed her her credit card back. "I already paid, no going back." She got the bags and turned to leave.
We went into Hollister next. I got two sweaters, one button up, and two cute jackets to go over three tank tops we bought, well, Alice bought.
When we went in to American Eagle, Alice went crazy with dresses. We found two for work, I'd have to wear one of my jackets over them , and then Alice also bought me two dresses "Just because" as she said it.
After getting several matching sets of bras and panties in Victoria's Secret, we found some more really cute dresses they had in a catalog that could be shipped and delivered the next day. And surprisingly enough, some of the dress covered a lot of your body.
I found one that Alice actually approved of, she demanded I get it. Alice found a dress, it was black and it was called a "convertible" dress because you could move the straps more ways than I really cared to. Alice said that it was like six dresses in one, she also demanded I get it, she thought it would be perfect for my date tomorrow. I agreed and got it as well. After Alice made our purchases, again, we cleared out and headed for shoes.
Alice found a store she loved and we searched for many pairs of shoes. I got three pairs of flats, three pairs of heels, two wedge heels, two flip flops, and one pair of Sperrys. It was ridiculous she made me buy all those heels, I would either kill myself wearing them or not wear them. She claimed I needed them to go with my new outfits. I didn't really care. I would wear my converse or even my new Sperrys for that matter. She wouldn't have that though.
After a few more stops for accessories and some casual wear, we headed back to the apartment. After I got all the receipts out I calculated how much Alice spent on me.
"Alice! You spent over $1000 on me! That is completely nutso! Have you lost your mind?" She just giggled.
"Bella. I told you, don't worry about it."
"Okay maybe if it was just $20 here and there but over $1000. How can I not worry about that?" Alice walked over to me and put my face in her hands.
"Shut up. You're my sister, I'd do much more than that for you. I love you." She handed me all the bags. "Now, shut your mouth, take these bags, and go be okay with it." She said trying to keep the smile off her face. I just rolled my eyes and took my bags, 20 to be exact, and put them on my bed.
"She is nutso." I murmured to myself.
"I heard that." Alice shouted from the kitchen. I just smiled to myself.
After a very long day of shopping with Alice, and I do mean day, we spent six hours shopping!!, I decided to take an extremely hot dim lit bubble bath to calm my nerves. I had just gotten in the water and sat my cell phone aside when it started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hi Bella." Edward's beautiful voice came over the line.
"Hey. What are you doing up so late?" I asked him after I saw the time on my phone, 11:30.
"Did I wake you?"
"No not at all." He paused a moment then chuckled.
"Are you in a bathroom?" I laughed too.
"I am. I'm in a bubble bath." I said still giggling.
"Oh." His voice got deeper and he cleared his throat. "I didn't mean to interrupt."
"No you're fine, really. I just got in the water when you called." His line was silent except for the heavy breathing I could hear. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." He cleared his throat again. "So what did you do today?"
"Shopping with Alice." I said in a monotone voice that he laughed at.
"I thought that was tomorrow?"
"Nope. The spa is tomorrow." I said with mock enthusiasm.
"Sounds like fun."
"Doubt it will be. Unless there are massages, I could go for one of those right now."
"What kind of massage?" He asked, his voice got lower again.
"What do you mean?"
"Back massage, legs, hands?"
"Full body. My entire body has been so tense lately."
"What if I offered?" He asked. I thought about that for a moment. Edward Masen, the most gorgeous man, rubbing my body...I didn't have to go any further than that.
"Sounds like a deal." I said with a laugh.
"What do I get out of this?" He asked, his voice getting husky.
"What would you like?"
"Hm. Let me think on it, I'll get back to you." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Don't forget."
"Oh I won't. Have fun in your bath."
"Alright. Have fun...doing whatever you're doing." He laughed.
"I will. Goodbye Bella."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone and squealed as quietly as possible. This man already had a hold on me and he didn't even know it.
After I got out, Alice told me she made plans for lunch and then we would hit the spa after that. I agreed and we headed off to bed.
My dreams that night consisted of Edward Masen.
