One Week Later

Every morning Edward waited for me just outside the building with some form of breakfast food, this morning he had an English muffin with honey butter.

I smiled at him as he handed me the delicious treat.

"Thank you, Edwar, but, I've told you time after time that this isn't necessary." I felt the blush as it swept across my cheeks.

"I know, but it was so delicious when I ate one that I just knew you had to try it, too." He said with a smile of his own.

We walked into the building and smiled at each other. They were intermittenly placed like we couldn't help ourselves and always very shy, but they were there none the less..

Not only had our mornings become routine but lunch as well. We would walk to the small coffee shop, grab a burger or sandwich then head to the park. Although fall was upon us, it was still warm enough with the hot Arizona sun to allow us that small solace each day.

On this particular Friday Edward was extremely quiet as we sat stoically on our bench, while we ate our food.

"Is something the matter, Edward?" I finally asked.

He grimaced and went pale before he swallowed the bite he had just taken as he turned to me.

"Would you go on a date with me, Bella?" He blurted out.

I almost choked on my own bite of food. I threw a hand up to guard my mouth as I spoke to him, this was too important to wait for my mouth to clear itself of the food. "You want to take me on a date?" I questioned after I was able to speak.

He nodded his head and then his face turned crimson red.

"I mean it doesn't have to be a date, if you don't want it to be, Bella. I just thought...well, I just thought that I'd like to get to know you better and we don't usually have a lot of time for that during the day." His words came out rushed.

I thought about it for a moment. I liked Edward and yes, I would like to get to know him better. My only worry was that I wanted to change my situation with Kendall and going out after work would mean even more time away from her.

"Edward, I would love that but I spend so much time away from Kendall during the week, I'd feel guilty going out and leaving her with my mother." I tried not to sound like I had just rejected his offer. I didn't want to reject his offer at all.

It just scared me because I wasn't sure I really ready to date or much less start a new relationship when my life was still so chaotic. And, I knew that I wasn't going to stay in Phoenix forever. I was ready to go home to Forks, go back to my home there and I didn't feel comfortable leading this kind man on.

"What if we brought her with us?" He asked.

Huh? I hadn't thought of that.

A/n: Huh? Where the fuck is MY Lonerward? Cuz, I KNOW that Me and Minime would LOVE to go out for pie, LOL...

see ya soon, Kyla
