Chapter 6 White lights and Cherries

Bella P.

Tonight is my date with Edward and I am so excited, Alice is taking me shopping after school but when I told my dad I thought he would freak.

Flashback

"Hey Dad." I was nervous I didn't know how he would react.

"Ya, Bells?"

"I just wanted to let you know I won't be home tomorrow. After school I am going to the mall and then I have a date with Edward Cullen." He stopped chewing his dinner and swallowed.

"No, he is too old for you; he looks like he could snap you like a twig, with those muscles." I started laughing, he wasn't talking about Edward. He was talking about Emmett. "What is so funny Bella?"

"You are not talking about Edward, that is Emmett and he is like a big Teddy Bear. He wouldn't hurt a fly, he is on the wrestling team but he wouldn't hurt anyone, unless you mess with his family and his girlfriend."

"Oh, you met the Cullens?"

"Yes, I met the Cullens and I like them. I also go to school with them or did you forget that little detail. Anyway I will leave something for you in the fridge. Ok?"

"Ok" he gave up and it was quite the rest of dinner.

End of Flashback

My day went fast. Edward wouldn't tell me where we were going. He only told me it was casual and that he was picking me up at six. I tried to get Alice to spill but her lips were shut and rose didn't know at all.

When we got to the mall Alice ran straight to Macy's. We only had an hour to shop.

"Rose, is she always like this?" I whispered

"Always, she doesn't make us wear anything twice. We have trash bags that are destined for charity." She started to laugh, I laughed with her. Then something hit my face. "Try these on" Alice had thrown at me a pair of boot cut jeans, a blue top with short sleeves and a silver chain hanging around the neck line and a jean jacket.

I tried them on "Alice this is so cute!" I told her as I was stepping out so Alice and Rose could see.

"Now we need shoes to go with the outfit" Alice was really excited. "Go get changed Bella we need to hurry up."

"Alice you can be a very bossy shopper, you know that?"

"Ya, I know, now get moving, we still have to go to your house and do your hair and makeup." What?!

"Alice I can do my own hair and makeup, you don't have to do that?" I looked at Rose she was shaking her head No. OMG what have I gotten myself into, and Edward warned me today in Chemistry about Alice being the Shopping Nazi!

We got pair of ballet flats, they were black with should say Alice paid. She wouldn't let me pay for anything. We got to my house and Alice and Rose dragged me upstairs. I got into the shower and cleaned myself up and that familiar scent of strawberries calmed me down. When I was done they started to work on my hair and makeup. Alice did my hair in waves and Rose did light makeup, it didn't look like I was wearing makeup at all. I got dressed in the outfit Alice got me; before I knew it, it was six and there was a light knock on the front door.

I almost fell down the steps just to get the door. "Coming" I yelled. I opened the door and it was Edward. He was wearing Jeans, a black turtleneck that hugged him in all the right places, he is so gorgeous. "Hey, when you say six you nail it right on the dot." WOW I am just rambling, Bella shut up. I stepped back to let him in.

"You look…beautiful" he walked through the door. "Thanks I had help from your sisters."

"Speaking of the devils, I thought they would still be here."

"They left 10 minutes ago."

"Oh…well are you ready to go?" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Ya just let me get my jacket and I will be right back." I ran up the stairs to my room to grab my jacket and ran back down. "Ready?"

"Ok, shall we?" he offered his hand to me and I took it without hesitation. I stopped to lock the door behind me and was hit with a nice cool breeze but not cold. He helped me into the car, walked to his side of the car and started the engine and backed out of the driveway.

"Are you going to tell me where you are taking me?" I had to ask, I don't like surprises that much. He smiled that crooked grin again "Nope" he popped the p.

"Please Edward" I gave him my puppy dog face. "Please" I said again and he looked away fast. He was trying not to give in but it wasn't working. "No Bella, now stop giving me that cute-puppy dog look-Alice uses it all the time when she wants to go shopping. It d-doesn't work on me." He stuttered, which means it does work, at least for me it works!

Edward P.

I was in heaven, Bella sitting next to me on our way to the park for our date.

"Please Edward" she gave me the puppy dog face. Jokes on her the pupp-y dog fac-e "Please" she was pleading. I looked away quickly.

"No Bella, now stop giving me the cute...puppy dog look…Alice uses it all the time on me. It d-doesn't work on me." Damn it I stuttered, now she knows it works. I am not going to give in to her big…beautiful…chocolate…brown eyes.

She was quite the rest of the ride. When we finally got to the park I looked over at her she was slightly confused when I started getting out of the car she looked even more confused. I quickly went to her side and opened her door and offered my hand. She took it and climbed out.

I linked my fingers through hers and smiled. "Is our date at the park?"

"You could say that, now stop asking questions." I walked to the trunk, pulled out a picnic basket and put it on the ground to get the blanket and small radio. I closed the trunk and we started walking to the gazebo that is in the park. I had Jasper and Emmett come and put up the white lights…well they wouldn't do it for me but Rose and Alice forced them with the promise to get something in return.

"Where are you taking me Edward? We are in a park. We can put the blanket down anywhere."

"You are very impatient, you know that? We are almost there ok, only a few more minutes." I took our twined hands and kissed it. She blushed lightly, I chuckled lightly.

We kept walking till we reached the Gazebo. She gasped, I looked over at her, and she had her hand lightly over her mouth. She turned to me. "You did t-this...for me?" she looked back at the Gazebo. I chuckled "Yes, I did this all for you Bella." I leaned in and kissed the top of her head at the same time breathing in her scent. Strawberries and Freesias, it is intoxicating.

"Come on let's have a picnic!" I gently tugged on her hand and we continued walking to the Gazebo. We walked up the steps. I placed the basket on the bench, the radio on the table and turned to take the blanket draped over her arm and placed it on the bench next to the basket. "Ok, you sit and I will unpack the food."

I started pulling things out of the basket and put them on the table. I put two glasses, a bottle of sparkling cider, two sets of utensils, and two containers of chicken caesar salad. I left the dessert in the basket for later. I popped the top off the bottle and poured us some cider and handed her a glass. "Thank You" she said and smiled at me. "You're Welcome"

"So what do we have here?" she asked curiously looking at the containers. "Well we have Chicken Caesar Salad but dessert is a surprise."

"That sounds really good! Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes I did, Esme loves to cook. When I was younger I use to watch her cook. When I was old enough she let me help and I picked up on a few things. I hope you like it." I was eager for her to try it. I gestured towards the bench so we could enjoy dinner.

Conversation flowed easily between us. We talked about everything and nothing. It was a beautiful night for a picnic with a gorgeous girl and I loved every minute of it. We were just having a great time and enjoying each other's company. When we were done I packed up the salad containers and took out the dessert and placed it on the table. I gathered the blanket and the radio in one hand, the dessert in the other.

"Come on how about we look at some stars?" I moved toward a patch of grass, she followed me down the steps. I set everything up and sat down patting the spot next to me for her to sit down.

"Close your eyes and open your mouth."

"Why?"

"It's a surprise!" I said and smiled my crooked grin.

"Fine" she closed her eyes and opened her mouth. I took the lid off the container that has the cherries and pretzels. I took a cherry by the stem and placed it in her mouth. She bit the cherry off and opened her eyes, smiled and chewed. I handed her a napkin for the cherry pit.

"How did you know chocolate covered cherries are my favorite?" she laughed the sound of bells filled my ears. I laughed with her.

"I didn't but anything covered in chocolate is good.' I chuckled. She grabbed a cherry and put it near my mouth. I opened my mouth and took the cherry off the stem. "Thank you" I smiled and ate the cherry.

"Welcome" she smiled back. I leaned over and plugged my IPod in and just put on a random playlist. To my disappointment Alice's playlist came on. I lowered it so it was just background music. We just sat there and eating our cherries and pretzels, sometimes feeding cherries pretzels to each other watching the stars. Well she was watching the stars I was watching her.

I could faintly hear the music in the background; God must have spent a little more time on you by *NSYNC. I'm not surprised Alice fell head over heels for them when they're CD came out.
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
I never thought that love could feel like this
and you've changed my world with just one kiss.

I held out my hand to dance. She put her hand in mine and we started to dance. Her arms were around my neck, mine around her waist. We swayed side to side and didn't talk; we were comfortable with the silence. Her head was leaning on my chest my cheek on the top of her head. I wanted to learn more about this beautiful girl in my arms. So I asked a question.

"Do you want to play 21 questions?"

"Ok, but you go first." She looked at me.

"Ok, what is your favorite color?"

"Green" she blushed I wondered what was so special about green that she blushed? (A.N. we all know what is special about the color green)

"My turn, what is your favorite color?" I didn't even have to think about that one I just said it. "Brown. Let's see… What is your favorite childhood memory?" I thought that that was a good question.

"Umm… that would have to be me and Jake making mud pies while my dad and Billy fished. Oh Wow I do remember Billy." She laughed a carefree laugh. I wondered who Jake was.

I was still curious as to why she blushed when she said green was her favorite color. "I am curious, why did you blush at your favorite color?" she blushed again and shook her head. I placed my hand on her cheek and stroked it. "Please tell me." She sighed.

"Fine, it's my favorite color because it's the color of your eyes." She turned her head away. I turned it back and stroked her hot cheek. "I will tell you something about my favorite color. It is the color of your eye. They are beautiful chocolate brown that are so deep that you could get lost in them."

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep (peaceful and deep)
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent...
A little more time
On you...
(on you, on you, on you, you..)
God must have spent...
A little more time
on you

I hadn't noticed before but we were leaning closer together. I looked into her eyes and got lost in them. I looked down at her lips they looked so kissable (A.N. I know it's a weird word), leaned in more but making sure she could pull away at any moment. She closed the distance and her lips were on mine. The kiss was slow but passionate. I pulled her closer and her hands were at the nap of my neck. When we finally pulled away our breathing was heavy, I smiled, and she smiled back. She rested her head on my chest my head on her head and we were quite for a moment.

A little more time
on you...ohhh

"I have wanted to do that since the moment I saw you."I said.
