We walked into the restaurant and I felt like the luckiest sonofabitch on the planet to have Bella on my arm.

She looked absolutely breath-taking in that red dress. My body was on fire for her and I couldn't keep my hands off of her.

I'm glad that she allowed me to touch her because I had a plan for tonight, and it started with a touch.

"Reservation for Cullen." I told the hostess when we walked up to the podium.

"Yes sir, right this way." She smiled and turned to show us to our table.

I kept my hand on the small of Bella's back as she glided through the restaurant. When we got to the small corner table, she slid in and I looked to her for permission to sit next to her.

"May I?" I asked as she smiled and nodded her consent.

Fuck...how was I going to be able to let her go?

"Wine?" I asked as we got situated.

"Yes, please." She said just as the waiter appeared with a wine list.

Dinner was nice as we drank wine and talked. We laughed about antics from our own childhoods and we laughed about things Kendall had said or done. We felt like a normal couple out for a date night.

Once we had finished eating, my stomach started to do flips, it was now or never.

"Bella, I have something to tell you." I said as I watched her finish off her glass of wine.

She slowly turned to me, "I have something to tell you, too."

Suddenly this didn't feel like the place for us to have a conversation; the air was to tight, the room to close...we needed privacy.

"Can we go back to my place?" I watched to see her reaction. She seemed to tense for a minute then relaxed as she smiled.

"That's a perfect idea." She answered with her eyes locked on mine. I could see a war of emotions come at me, I'm sure that she saw the same in mine.

I paid the check and we quickly made our way out to the valet. Neither of us said anything on the drive to my house. The tension was thick and heavy and I could taste it in the air.

I couldn't imagine what she had to tell me, but I hoped I could tell her what I had to say before the effects of the wine wore off, otherwise I might lose my nerve.

I pulled into my driveway and we walked hand in hand up to my front door.

We got inside and we stood facing one another, awkwardly, in the middle of my living room.

Our eyes were locked...it was now or never.

"Edward, I'm in love with you..."

"Bella, I'm so in love with you..."

What?

Did she say?

Our eyes both grew wide from our confessions... our lips crashed together and I couldn't contain the moan.

Perfection...

A/n: Dun, Dun, DUH! (runs and hides...)
