In this story the relationship between E/B will move forward kind of quickly, because in my Twilight mind they are soul mates who don't want to waste time and recognize their other halves.

CHAPTER FIVE

BPOV

It feels so good being in Edward's arms this way. When I woke up this morning I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know if he'd regret it and act awkward around me.

Now I could see that all of my worries were for nothing.

I could see so many great things in my future with Edward. I could see myself falling helplessly in love with him so easily. I could visualize us being together and our relationship turning into marriage. I could picture us purchasing our first home and having beautiful babies. We'd have little girls and boys with their fathers unruly bronze hair and emerald green eyes.

Was it possible that love at first sight really existed?

I could already feel myself falling hard and the best part was that I wasn't trying to resist it.

'Don't fight the feeling', I was told by my rambunctious mother not too long ago.

Even though I loved the classics and their romance, I could never fully grasp the concept of a whirlwind romance or love at first sight.

Now I'm truly a believer. How is it possible to not be able to live a life without this wonderful man in it? I just couldn't see myself being without my Edward.

When this storm was over I couldn't see my life going back to the way it was. Edward had to be a part of it. I knew there was still so much I didn't know about him, but I was so anxious to learn.

What I saw on TV this morning confused the hell out of me, from the beginning I assumed he was successful when I first saw this mansion of a cabin, but to find out he was extremely wealthy and famous was something totally different.

It didn't bother me or affect the way I felt about Edward at all. He was still this gentle hearted man I was hoping to capture. The report was just something to remind me that we had to get to know each other better so we could move forward. I was however, not surprised to find out Edward was the People Magazine's number one hottest and sexiest bachelor. The man is totally otherworldly. Tall, mysterious, handsome, sexy, the list goes on. He's the complete package.

Edward's hands lightly tracing back and forth on the skin of my lower back and waist brought me back to the present. I was still straddling his lap, but I was wrapped around him with my head on his shoulder, and with his face buried in my neck with his arms wrapped around me, it made it more intimately comforting than sexual.

He made me feel the most amazing things. When he spoke of proving himself deserving of me, it made my heart swell with love and adoration for this thoughtful man. He wanted to make sure I knew that he actually wanted me and not just my body.

Edward placed one last soft kiss to my neck before lifting his head to speak. "So sweet girl, how about we have some lunch and a watch a movie before we get ready for our date tonight?"

"That sounds like a great idea."

His strong hands grabbed me by the hips and gently lifted me from his lap and placed me back on my feet on the floor. I interlaced our hands together as he guided us out of his music room and back down the stairs.

"Edward, would you mind if I made some lunch for us?"

He looked at me with such kind and thoughtful eyes. "Bella I think it would only be fair that I cooked for you since you made breakfast this morning."

"I really don't mind Edward. You really don't understand how much I love cooking. But you will, just watch," I said to him playfully.

I went on to say, "Besides you're cooking dinner tonight anyway and I already have an idea for lunch. Please, Edward."

I gave him my best puppy dog eyed look and pouted a little bit. I never used this, but it worked like a charm on me whenever Jake wanted something. I figured, why not try it out?

"Aww…Bella you know I can't say no to you, especially when you give me that look."

He finally gave in, "Fine you can make lunch but please, nothing too big; sandwiches or something will do just fine."

I laughed at that, "Perfect, because I was actually going to make some turkey and cheddar Paninis."

I turned towards the fridge to get started when I was suddenly yanked back into Edward's arms. I made a loud squeaking sound from being surprised by it. It wasn't a hard pull; just firm enough to pull me to him.

"I think you forgot something Angel," he said as he attempted to keep the smile from his face and the humor from his voice.

I wrapped one arm around his neck and lift the other to tap my chin with my index finger, pretending to be in mid thought, "Nah, I don't think so. Everything I need is in the fridge, so I have no idea what I could be forgetting." He pouted and began to give me the puppy dog face I'd tried on him earlier.

He so had me.

I lifted up on my tip toes to surrender to a soft kiss, but the moment I felt Edward's warm tongue on my upper lip, I was gone and lost in him. His kisses were hypnotizing and were able to make me forget my own name.

After kissing for I don't know how long, I got started on our lunch. We sat down to eat and made small talk, nothing serious. We were saving all that for our date tonight.

I know it's supposed to be some big no-no to have serious conversations on a first date, but this was necessary. I didn't feel scared or nervous about any of it, just overwhelmingly excited. This was a much needed step in the right direction.

The rest of the afternoon passed relatively quickly, with us just lounging around the house and cuddling together with sweet caresses.

Now it was time for us to get ready for our date.

I'm currently sitting between his parted legs with my back leaning against his chest, our legs laying down the length of the sofa, and Edward is running his right hand gently through my hair from my scalp to the ends.

"Ok Beautiful. You go on ahead upstairs and get ready, then meet me back down here at 7:30," Edward mumbled against the skin of my cheek.

With a sigh I replied, "I know, I was just so comfortable, I don't want to get up."

After placing a small open mouth kiss right under his jaw line, I ran up to my room to find something to wear.

Luckily I had packed some of my dressier items in my suitcase that I had brought with me. I had the rest of my things sent to my apartment by professional movers the day before I left. I really needed to find a way to contact my dad and Jake to let them know I'm alright here.

Actually, I'm way better than alright here with Edward, my Edward.

I looked through the clothes that I'd placed in the closet when I'd unpacked and found a light brown and grey tunic sweater dress with rectangular designs. I then pulled out my matching grey stockings and light brown ankle boots. I wanted to look sexy but comfortable, I had style but I wasn't a big fan of shopping.

I always went shopping already knowing what I wanted; it was an in and out quickly thing. Sometimes I would find things that I wasn't particularly looking for but that I liked and would probably buy it, but I couldn't do shopping sprees. Lord knows my mother had tried to get me to go on them on numerous occasions.

Walking into the bathroom and eyeing the tub, I decided I had enough time to take a bubble bath and relax a little before my date.

I was a little nervous because this would be my first official date. That one time where my college roommate set me up on a blind date with her boyfriend's brother didn't count. It was horrible because I didn't know I was supposed to be on a date and he couldn't keep his hands to himself. After the date he walked me to the door and attempted to come in for a 'night-cap', his words not mine, and pulled a condom out of his pocket stating 'he always came prepared.'

I forcefully kneed him in the balls and slammed the door in his face. Ugh. I never saw or heard from him again after that, although my roommate did start calling me 'Prudella' shortly after.

I didn't care. I had morals and values and refused to be what other people thought I should be or how I should act.

After dimming the lights and filling the tub and adding the bubbles, I slowly sank in. When I was fully submerged, I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, being surrounded in the hot water felt almost as good as being snuggled up with Edward.

Almost. I nearly fell asleep.

After soaking a little while I washed and rinsed my body and hair and pulled the plug to allow the water to run down the drain. I grabbed a large body towel and dried myself before stepping into my room. I rubbed strawberry body butter all over before pulling on my panties and bra.

I didn't usually worry about matching underwear but tonight was important.

Walking back into the bathroom I grabbed the bathrobe from the door hanger and I walked to the sink and plugged in the hair dryer. I ran a bit of leave in moisturizer through my hair and then started to blow dry it. I usually allowed my hair to dry naturally except for when I was in a rush, like now. When I was sure it was all dried, I proceeded to curl it in large spirals and do my make-up in neutral tones.

Next, I began to slide on my stockings, followed by my dress and boots. Fully dressed I stepped in front of the mirror, I thought I looked nice, but my look was missing something.

Opening my jewelry box I pulled out my heart shaped gold earrings and gold five strand bracelet. I was ready to go but still had a little time left before I had to go meet Edward so I sat on the bed and gave myself a little mental pep talk.

Just breathe. You can do this Bella. Edwards is what you've been looking for. The feelings you have for him aren't one sided. Don't be nervous. Everything is going to be fine.

With that being said, I pulled open the door and walked down stairs. I felt confident in what I was wearing and I knew I looked nice, but my confidence didn't prepare me for seeing him. When I caught sight of him it made my breath catch.

Edward had moved the back sofa in the main room so that he could replace it with a round dinner table. It was near the large back window and topped with two tall candles, a bottle of wine and our dinner.

He had the room lights dimmed and the Christmas lights from the patio were shining through the window and into the room.

But the most magnificent thing of all was Edward.

He was wearing a baby blue button down dress shirt un-tucked, a black wrist watch, and he was holding a single red rose in his hand. It was such a romantic and sweet gesture that I didn't know whether to swoon or cry from the emotions swimming through me.

"Oh Edward. This is so beautiful. It's too much, you didn't need to go through all of this for me," I said as I slowly walked toward him.

He smiled my favorite crooked smile and replied, "Nothings too much for you Bella. You look so gorgeous Angel."

As he handed me the rose he placed his left hand on my hip and pulled me closer to kiss my forehead. He pulled back, turned me toward my seat, and pulled it out for me while gesturing for me to sit. After we were both comfortably seated he spoke.

"Would you like some wine Bella? It's white. I hope that's alright."

"Yes, please. White is my favorite."

"Good, it's mine too." He continued, "I hope you're hungry because I cooked a lot." He chuckled nervously and it just made me fall for him even more.

He grabbed one of the trays and removed the lid. "For our appetizer I made fried coconut shrimp. You're not allergic, are you? I'm so sorry I forgot to ask beforehand." He looked really worried and I wanted to assuage his fears.

I laid a hand on top of his and rubbed softly, "Nope, no allergies, so we're good to go."

He sighed in relief. I watched him picked up a shrimp and lifted it towards my mouth. "Come on Angel, open up for me," he said in a teasing manner.

I wanted to tease him a little so I opened my mouth, and as I did so I lightly licked his finger when he was close enough to my mouth. I heard his quick intake of breath but pretended not to notice and looked back to my plate innocently.

Next, he lifted the tray with our entrée. "Sweet baby Jesus, Edward. Is this mushroom ravioli?"

He looked a little unsure as he answered, "Yeah. Is something wrong? I can make something else if you'd like."

"No, Edward it's fine. Mushroom ravioli is my favorite. How did you know?"

"Well, I didn't but you did say you loved Italian food and this is what came to mind."

"Wow. First the wine then the mushroom ravioli, it's like your reading my mind," I sighed in wonderment. This was crazy. "It's like you already know me better than the people I've known my whole life."

I continued after moaning from the taste and chewing my first bite, "Jake and my dad don't even know what type of wine and Italian dish I prefer."

Edward quickly snapped his head up and tensed. Did I say something wrong?

He continued to chew very slowly for a moment and then asked, "Who's Jake?"

I was confused for a moment. Oh. Oh. Was Edward jealous?

"Jake's my best friend. Our dads are best friends too so we grew up together. I've basically known him my whole life."

This only made him relax slightly. "Oh. Ok." He looked like he still wanted to ask me something so I waited for a couple minutes for him to get his thoughts together.

Right before I was getting ready to come right out and ask him what was on his mind, he spoke, "Have you and Jake….you know…um." He scratched the back of neck before proceeding with his question, "Have you and Jake ever dated?"

When the question came out he looked back down at his plate and attempted to act nonchalant about it, but I saw right through him.

I blushed at the question. Not because we had, but because I know Jake wanted that badly and would be hurt when he found out about Edward and I.

"Um. No." I couldn't look him in the eye yet.

"You don't sound so sure."

I looked up at that. "No, I'm sure. It's just that Jake has feelings for me, but I don't feel that way about him. I see him as a brother, nothing more. He wants me has his lover, but I can't make myself feel that way about him, no matter how bad I feel about it."

"Have you told him that?"

"Yes, but because I've never dated anyone and was never really interested in guys in the past he's convinced I'm going to change my mind and realize that we're meant to be," I said the last part with a small grimace.

"What do you mean you've never really dated?" he asked me looking a little stunned.

It felt like my face was on fire at this point, "Well, I've never had a boyfriend or been interested in guys. When I was in school my friends would try to get me to date and my college roommate even set me up on a blind date once, but dating never really appealed to me. Until now." I whispered that last part but he heard me anyway.

He had a contemplative look on his face like he was concentrating. I felt so…..unsure all of a sudden. He was probably really experienced and had had lots of girlfriends, and here I am telling him how bland my dating life had been.

Way to go Bella.

"We're so much alike Bella. I haven't really dated either. I've only ever had one girlfriend. But, we only dated for like a month and we broke up six months ago."

Was it stupid to be disappointed and a little jealous that he had had a girlfriend recently? That I was hoping he had never dated like me? I knew it was unlikely, but a girl can always hope right?

"Bella I think, it's time I told you everything now, if you're still willing to hear it."

"Of course I want to know more about you Edward. Whenever you're ready I'm all ears."

Where did that expression even come from, I wondered randomly? I mean how can you be all ears? You need eyes to see, a nose to smell and breathe, a mouth to…..

I shook my head to get that out of my head and paid attention to what Edward had to say

He cleared his throat and began, "Well, I went to New York for a degree in music and film production. Before I graduated I had already composed a few songs and even produced my own independent short film with my music for the sound track, so I was getting my name out there before I graduated. As soon as I finished college, I was getting offers with big networks and music labels, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to start my own production company, and that's exactly what I did.

"I started The Cullen Group right away. It's a production company that produces music, movies, TV shows, and some Broadway plays. I used some of my inheritance to get it off the ground and my best friend Garrett from college and his girlfriend Kate helped me publicize it. It became well known pretty quickly. I got a manager, an agent slash publicist and started bringing in talent right away, and the rest as they say is history.

"I do pretty well for myself. I'm proud of my accomplishments, and sometimes the gossip magazines, paparazzi, and TV can make it into something that it's not, so I just want to make sure you know what you're getting into. I may have a dinner meeting with a new client, artist, or actor and the next day it would be all over the web stating that I'm sleeping or dating this person or that I'm cheating on someone I've never even met. Being in the public eye comes with a lot of baggage Bella and only about half of it is true most of the time.

"If your were to decide to be with me your face would be plastered all over the magazines and gossip sites with the most vicious and cruel things said about you. Photographers would probably camp outside your home. My feelings for you are so strong, and it's only been two days. I'm falling so hard for you already Bella and it's scary, exhilarating, and so amazing all at the same time, but I don't want it to end."

He took a deep breath and exhaled like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. I'd let him say his piece but now I needed to do a little reassuring of my own.

"Edward. My feelings for you are just as strong if not stronger. I wouldn't care if you're a rich celebrity on the cover of People's Magazine or if you were an unemployed musician on the corner playing for change. I want to be a part of your life. I know that by being with you I will probably get hounded by the media and ridiculed by your fans, but none of that matters. All that matters is you and me."

The expression on his face was one of adoration and astonishment and quicker than I thought was possible, Edward had me out of my chair, in his lap, with his mouth on my mine.

Please let this be dessert.

A/N: SWEET! What will happen next? Maybe if I received more reviews, I would tell you…..

I will update within a two week period, but maybe sooner depending on how this coming week goes.
