Chapter 2: Carlisle's Advice
I drove fast down the highway; I needed to speak with Carlisle. He was the only one who would be able to help me. And trust me, I needed the help. I pulled up to the house, and I could hear Alice squealing behind the door waiting for me. As soon as I entered she jumped on me screaming excitedly.
"I can't believe you're finally going to ask her out! I am SO happy for you!! I've always liked Bella, and she's such a nice person. And I can't thank you enough! Finally I can have a shopping buddy that won't runaway at vampire speed!" She used one breath to say it all, and I couldn't thank Jasper enough for calming her down with his powers. But I did want her to go away so I pretended to be very horny so that Jasper would get overwhelmed and force her upstairs.
Lucky for me, Jasper suddenly grabbed Alice's wrists and hurriedly rushed her upstairs with her giggling behind him. In the meantime, I rushed to Carlisle's study and unfortunately ran into Emmet.
"Hey little brother! So, word around the house is that you have the hotts for Bella Swan? I can't believe it, I am so proud of you! Just think; my little Edward is finally going to lose his virginity to a human!"
I growled deeply in my throat which made him laugh harder. "Shut up Emmet, I am not having sex with her, she is my best friend, and I would never put her that position. Now move out of my way, or I will force you." I walked beside him as he snickered.
"Fine, just remember this: Don't be silly wrap your willy!!!"
"We're not even going out yet!"
"Yet." With that he stomped off in a rage of laughter. Leaving me humiliated might I add. I finally reached Carlisle's study, and slowly opened the door.
"What is it Edward?" Carlisle asked concerned.
"I just wanted to know if it was a good idea for me to ask out Bella."
"Why of course Edward, it would make none of us happier than to see you two together."
"Are you absolutely sure, I would never want to hurt her." I felt sick to my stomach after I mentioned it.
"Edward, you are a strong man, and I have no doubt that you will be an up most gentleman. As long as you are cautious, and don't get carried away, you should be fine. I give you my word."
"Thank you Carlisle, I feel much better now."
"Take care my boy." I left the room and hurriedly went to find Alice. If anyone knew how to set up the perfect date, I knew it was her. I didn't even make it down the hall before she appeared before me purse and credit cards I hand.
"Let's go!!!" She squealed as we took off to the mall to find something for Bella. Of course, I still needed to ask her out first. Alice paid me no mind though as she pulled up into a parking space.
Alice rushed me into and out of stores, and this was just for a simple piece of jewelry, I was more than afraid to know what she would do when I picked out a wedding ring.
"Now Edward, you know that for a wedding ring, we're going to Europe to look at the finest cut diamonds," she teased as she read my thoughts. I shuddered at the though, and she laughed harder.
I finally found a simple chain that I adored. It was a small Blue Rose, on a silver chain. Alice was happy because it was on sale, and I was happy because I hoped Bella would like it. Alice and I set up the plan for a blind date with Bella. I wanted her to be completely surprised.
