Author's Note: Hey peoples. This chapter is gonna be about the second group date, and some other stuff. So yeah. I hope you like it! But just to warn you, there's a spoiler alert! For those of you who haven't seen the Time Traveler's Wife, I kind of give away the ending. So beware!! And thanks to everybody who's read and faved. I appreciate it!

I walked quickly to my car after saying goodnight to Bella, and got in the driver's side. Jasper slid in a few moments later, and I sped out of the lot. It was a quiet ride. The nice thing about Jasper was, even though we were both aware of what had happened, he didn't feel the need to press for details or share details of his own like Emmet would. Sometimes sharing was fine, but times like this, it wasn't.

I was still having difficulty breathing, even several minutes after kissing Bella. She'd just looked so beautiful tonight. That skirt had made her creamy legs look miles long, and that color blue of her shirt had looked stunning with her skin. Her hair had tumbled in sexy curls, and looked so soft. I hadn't planned on kissing her, but I couldn't seem to help myself. And the minute my lips had touched hers, it had taken all of my self control to keep it soft and light.

I couldn't seem to get enough of her. I'd called her the minute I'd gotten a chance, and had been severely disappointed when she hadn't answered. Even when I was at work or at school, her face kept creeping up into my thoughts. It was frustrating, liking her so much in such a short amount of time. I sighed, and pulled into the parking lot for our apartments.

After saying goodnight to Em and Jazz, I thought longingly of bed, but seemed to restless for sleep. I suddenly remembered promising Bella that I'd call her, and grinned. No time like the present, right? I flipped open my cell and dialed her number.

"So I take it you two also had the most amazing kiss of your lives?" I asked. Alice and Rose grinned. "I'll take that as a yes." I said. I sighed. "Are they amazing or what? Edward is such an excellent listener." I said. Alice smiled.

"Yeah, Jazz too. We're so in tune with each other, you know?"

"Yeah, it's the same with Emmet and me. Things just click." She said. We were all quiet for a while, wrapped up in our thoughts.

When we got home, I went straight into my room and changed into my comfy flannel pajamas. I was just about to crawl into bed when my cell phone began vibrating on the night stand. I looked at the caller ID, but didn't recognize the number. I answered it curiously. "Hello?"

"Hello, Bella." I heard a now familiar voice say. A smile immediately bloomed on my face, and my stomach did a small flip.

"Hey, Edward. What's up?" I asked.

"I just wanted to make sure you got home safe." He said. Oh, could he be any sweeter?

"Oh. Thanks. I assure you, we are safe and sound." I said. I heard him chuckle softly.

"That's good. So, what do you have planned for Friday?" he asked. I thought for a minute.

"Um… not much. I get off work at six, why?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you'd be up for a movie. Say, seven thirty?" he asked. I smiled.

"Sounds good. I'll meet you there. Goodnight, Edward." I said softly.

"Goodnight, Bella. Sweet dreams." He said.

I sighed, and flopped down on my bed. Tonight I could bet that they would be.

Friday rolled around slowly, and Rose and Alice said that Jasper and Emmet had invited them too. I smiled. Movie night with the guys sure beat movie night home alone. Once we were appropriately dressed and ready, we headed out. This time we took our own cars. When we got to the theater, we say the guys waiting for us out front. Edward grinned when he say me. "Jeez Bella, is that your truck? I could hear it coming from a mile away!" he teased. I smacked his shoulder.

"Hey! No knocking my truck, buddy!" I warned. Edward just laughed.

Rose, Alice, and I bought the tickets, and the guys groaned when they saw our selection. "The Time Traveler's Wife? That's such a chick flick!" Emmet whined.

"Hey, you guys got to pick where we went last time, and we didn't get a choice, so we're just returning the favor." Rose said. The guys made some more noise about it, but when we threatened to leave them there, they quickly shut up. We all got our snacks, and let me tell you, we just about bought out the counter. Me with my Dibs ice cream, Alice with her Junior Mints, Rose with her Skittles, Emmet with a hot dog and nachos, Jasper with his M&M's, and Edward with a jumbo tub of popcorn for us all to nibble at. Then we got three huge drinks that we'd share with the guys.

When we all got settled in our seats, I took a sip of the soda, and popped a Dibs into my mouth. Edward looked at me, and seemed to be holding back a laugh. "What?" I asked.

"That has got to be the most ridiculous movie theater food I've ever seen." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"I like ice cream, and they happen to offer it, so stuff it!" I said, sticking my tongue out at him. I didn't know why, but I felt really relaxed with Edward, comfortable and easy. He just laughed at me. I glared, but then smiled sweetly. "Oh Edward." I called oh-so-sweetly.

"Ye-?" just as he opened his mouth I popped a Dibs between his lips. I laughed at his surprised expression.

"Ha! I win." I said, and happily went back to enjoying my snack. I heard his husky chuckle, and shivered. He leaned in close to me, so he could whisper in my ear.

"It's not bad, I'll admit. But you taste better." He whispered. I swore I felt his mouth brush my ear. I blushed furiously, and frantically groped for my soda. I took a couple big gulps, trying to cool my suddenly overheated system. I heard Edward laugh again. "Can I have some of that?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Nope."

"Aw, come on. Please?" he asked, giving me a very persuasive pleading look. I smiled, and shook my head again.

"Not a chance. I'm suddenly very thirsty. Besides, for all I know, you've got cooties." I teased. Edward rolled his eyes, but I could see he was smiling.

"Shouldn't you have worried about that before I kissed you?" he asked. Damn. He had to keep bringing that up. He had to know it got me flustered. I shoved the drink at him, and grumbled, 'cheater'.

The movie started then, so I figured I was fairly safe from blushing more. The movie was pretty good, but really sad. During the very last scene, where the guy died, my easily triggered tear ducts decided to make themselves known. I swiped hastily at my cheeks, but it was too late. Edward noticed. He lifted up the armrest, and pulled me easily into his side. I hesitated for a slip second, and then settled there comfortably.

When the movie was over, I sat up and stretched. "Are you okay?" Edward asked, looking concerned. I smiled.

"Yeah. I tend to cry pretty easy at movies." I said, sheepishly. He smiled.

"I'm glad. That you're okay that is." He said. When we stood up, he laced his fingers with mine. "Though I won't deny comforting you felt pretty good." He whispered. I blushed, but Edward just smiled, and raised our joined hands to his lips.

"So, you ladies want to come back to our place?" Emmet asked. Rose shook her head, and grinned.

"Now what kind of girls do you think we are?" she asked. Emmet just laughed.

"Not like that. Just to keep us company, it gets really boring on Fridays." He said. Rose seemed to be pondering it. Emmet grinned. "Come on, I'll show you how to play Halo." He said. Rose laughed, and smiled slyly.

"Actually Emmet, I think I'll be showing you how to play Halo." She said, and sauntered off to her car. Emmet blinked, and then seemed to send thanks to the heavens for giving him Rosalie, before dashing off to his Jeep.

Edward turned and faced me. "Are you coming, too?" he asked. I shrugged.

"Sure, why not?" He smiled.

"Good. Just followed Emmet, okay?"

"Why not follow you?" I asked, confused. Edward grinned.

"You're truck wouldn't be able to keep up." He said.

Before I could even open my mouth to tell him off for making fun of my truck, those amazing lips was on mine. I was too stunned to respond for a moment, but only for a moment. Our mouths moved perfectly in sync, softly brushing, pressing, and sliding. Edward's hands moved around my waist to hold me gently to him, and my own weaved into that amazingly thick hair. When he pulled away gently, I felt a twinge of sadness. I never wanted him to stop kissing me. Edward stared at me for several moments, and then smiled. "See you in a bit." He said.

I walked over to my car, smiling like a love-struck teenager. I guess I was also thinking like one, because the first thought that popped into my head was "He so rules". I laughed, and started up my truck. I then followed Emmet's big Jeep out of the parking lot. I followed him across town, to a pretty nice apartment complex.

I met up with Alice and Rose, and we linked arms as we followed the guys up to the apartment. When we stopped, Jasper and Emmet unlocked a door, and Edward unlocked a second one right across the hall. I looked at him curiously. He smiled. "Sometimes I need space from those two knuckleheads." He said. Emmet rolled his eyes, but Jasper just laughed. "Do mind if I steal you for a bit? There's something I'd like to show you." He said. I looked at Alice and Rose, and they just smiled and winked, which I took as a yes. So I followed him inside.

The interior was simple, with a kitchen on the right, and the couch separated the living room from the dining room. The furniture was simple black leather, the dining room table was small, but was dark wood, and very nice. There was a killer flat screen in the living room, a game console, and shelving full of movies. "It's nice." I said. It suited him; simple, masculine, but with just the barest hint of elegance. Edward smiled.

"It suits my needs. Come on, this way." He said, taking my hand and tugging me down the hall.

He opened a door, and led me into his bedroom. It was big, and spacious, and most definitely Edward's. The king sized bed just to the left was simple, dark wood, with a dark blue comforter and simple white sheets, there was a dresser on wall to the right, a night stand next to the bed, and a killer stereo system. But what I noticed most… was the music. There were shelves upon shelves of it. There was everything from Beethoven and Linkin Park, to Debussy and Coldplay. It was incredible. "Wow. You have so much music." I whispered. Edward grinned.

"Yeah. This was one of the reasons I wanted my own apartment. Sometimes Em and Jazz don't always agree with my selection in music." He said. I laughed.

"I know the feeling. That's why I mostly listen to my iPod when I'm at home." I said. I wandered over to the shelves, and pulled down an album by Lifehouse. "Do you mind?" I asked. He shook his head. I put it carefully into the stereo, and adjusted the volume. The slow, soothing music flowed fluidly into the room, as did the lead singer's slightly gravelly, slightly husky voice. "This is my favorite by them." I said. Edward slid up behind me, and pulled me against his chest.

"Me too." He murmured. He just held me there for several moments. Then he brushed his lips over the side of my neck, making me shiver delightfully. He then pulled away. "So, I want to know everything about you." He said, smiling. "You're whole life's story." I snorted.

"I afraid it's not very interesting." I said. Edward shook his head.

"I'm sure your wrong, but I'd like to hear it anyways." He said. I sighed, and walked over to his bed. I lay down on my stomach, and watched as Edward folded himself gracefully onto the floor. I felt a pang of jealousy; why couldn't I move like that?

"Would it help if I went first?" he asked, smiling. I smiled, and nodded. Edward laughed, and then started to speak.

I could've listened to him talk for hours. He had the most wonderful way with words, and his voice was smooth and velvety. He talked about how he had grown up in a small town in Washington with his parents, how he'd met Emmet and Jasper when he was just a kid, things he'd done in high school, about his family. When he talked about his family, his eyes got all soft and warm, like moss in the summer sun. And when he talked about Emmet and Jasper, he got the sexiest mischievous look on his face. I smiled to myself. How lucky could a girl get?

To make Bella feel a bit more comfortable talking about herself, I went first. I told her pretty much everything, and she sat and listened attentively. When I spoke of my family, for some reason her face softened into the sweetest smile, and she laughed at all the stories I told her about from my childhood. When I was finished, I grinned at her.

"Your turn." I said. Bella sighed.

"Okay. Well…"

Bella told things in the most fascinating way. She went backwards. She started from when she had met Alice and Rosalie, her time in college before they'd met, high school in Arizona, living with her mom, then some stories of her childhood in the hot Arizona sun. When she talked about her mother, it sounded more like a parent talking about a child, then the other way around. She would smile indulgently, and shake her head slightly. She talked about all her mom's crazy hobbies that she would abandon halfway through, her miserably failed attempt to become a ballerina when she was six, and all the crazy things Alice, Rose and she had done to get out of bad dates.

When she was finished, I noticed that she hadn't talked about her biological father. When I asked her about it, she opened her mouth to speak, and then her phone rang. I laughed when I heard the ring tone. It was "Wicked Little Girls" by Esthero. Bella grinned as she answered it. "Hey Rose, what's up?" she asked. "Already?" she exclaimed, glancing at her watch. "Yeah sure, just give me a couple minutes." She said. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Is it getting late?" I asked. Bella laughed.

"Yeah. Like midnight late." She said. I blinked in surprise. I hadn't realized we'd been talking that long.

"Alright, I'll walk you out." I said. Bella bounced up, and we walked to my door together.

I stopped just before she reached for the doorknob. "Wait." I called. Bella turned to face me, looking confused. I smiled. "I want to do this now, while we have some privacy." I said. Then I took her face in my face, and kissed her.

Edward's eyes were hot as his mouth crashed down on mine. This wasn't like the other kisses. This was an honest to god, toe curling, bone melting, need a cold shower afterwards kiss. Edward's mouth was hot and urgent on mine, his hands diving into my hair. A moan bubbled up my throat as I pressed myself against him. Edward's tongue traced my bottom lip, and I parted my mouth eagerly. Then my knees nearly buckled.

He tasted better than anything I could think of; sweet, spicy, and hot. I put my hands on his chest, and felt a thrill run through me at the feel of the hard muscle there. Suddenly Edward was walking forward, pinning me roughly between him and the wall. His hands gripped mine, and pinned them next to my head. Passion took on a rougher, hotter edge, and turned my world upside down.

It lasted for a few seconds more, and then Edward pulled away roughly. His breath hissed in and out in rough pants, and I knew how he felt. I thought my heart might simply combust from beating so hard and so fast. After several moments he spoke. "I'm sorry, that wasn't very gentlemanly of me." He said. I laughed shakily.

"That's okay. It wasn't very lady like of me." I said. Edward grinned.

"That's okay." He said. Then his face grew serious, and the heat in his gaze was enough to burn me alive. I would have died happy. "I just had to get one good taste of you." He murmured. All thought process went ka-poof, and I was left blinking rapidly with my mouth hanging slightly open from shock. Edward chuckled, released my hands, and took a few steps back.

I walked with him the rest of the way to his door. He opened it, and I saw Alice and Rose waiting for me. Edward smiled, and gave me one last soft kiss. "Goodnight Bella." He murmured.

"Night." I muttered. He chuckled again.

"Night ladies." He said to Alice and Rose. They smiled, and waved as he shut the door.

They then seized me, and began walking towards the cars. "Okay, what happened?" Rose asked.

"What makes you think something happened?" I asked.

"Bella, have you seen the look on your face? You look like you've just had a couple shots of tequila." Alice said. I grinned; that sounded about right. I was drunk of the essence of Edward.

"Nothing happened… much." I teased mercilessly.

"Spill!" They begged in unison. I laughed, and sighed.

"Okay, okay. Nothing happened, except I just had the kiss of a lifetime." I said.

"Details!" They demanded together once again.

"I'm not gonna give you a play by play." I said exasperatedly.

"Okay, just tell me this. How would you rate it?" Alice asked. I grinned.

"Using a Richter scale." I said. Alice and Rose grinned.
