THIS CHAPTER IS FINALLY EDITED AND ALL THANKS TO MY BETA EDWARDCULLEN123.

CHAPTER 9

It was currently 1:34 pm and I was getting ready for another date with Edward. For the past few months we've been coming and going and hanging a lot together, and we've gone to several dates and even though we are not a couple I sort of want to be. Currently I was getting myself into a beautiful beige sleeveless dress with black stripes, that came mid thigh which I thought would look really good with black tights and ballet flops that were also beige. I had decided that I would wear my hair down with a beautiful diadem that had a flower and some feathers that went perfectly with my outfit and once I was done, I looked in the mirror and saw that I looked beautiful.

"Wow." Angie said as she came into my room holding a medium size box that had a ribbon on top of it.

"Angie please tell me that that box isn't for me." I said blushing.

"Course it is Bells and I want you to wear it for this date, I just know you will look just lovely." She said with a sweet smile that made me say 'yes' to her instantly. She gave me the box and when I opened it I saw that it was a beautiful necklace that formed flowers with its gems.

"Wow Angie it's beautiful, thank you." I said. As I got the necklace on I remembered getting ready for my second date with Edward almost 2 months ago.

~START OF FLASHBACK~

"Bella come on out and let me see you, please." Angie said while pounding at my locked door; funny this was, I had locked myself up just because I'm so insecure of myself that now I really didn't want to go out with Edward. I honestly didn't have anything to wear and since Edward didn't really elaborate where we were going I really didn't know if it was casual or elegant or outdoorsy. Shit! I'm going crazy.

"Bella if you don't open that door I'm calling Edward." Angie said sternly while still pounding on the door.

"GO HEADED ANGIE I DON'T CARE ANYWAYS, I'M NOT GOING OUT." I screamed as I through myself on my bed. Thirty minutes later there was a soft knock on my door.

"Bella will you let me in, please." Edward said. Shit she wasn't kidding.

"Fine." I said with my face on my pillow before getting up, unlocking the door and throwing myself onto my bed. As he opened the door I remembered that I was still in my towel from my shower. Double shit and fuck. Before I could yell at Edward to get out he was at my side.

"Bella get dressed casually because we're going to the movies and we're having dinner." And once he said that he left my room. Great.

So now I'm in my closet looking for something casual. Fuck, I need to call Alice. I thought grimacing. After calling Alice and having her look at photos of all my clothes she sent me my outfit for tonight. She had chosen a long-sleeved white shirt, a black skirt with a thin red belt, black pantyhose and a pair of ballet flops. I look really good. She also said to put on the red sideways hat. After putting light makeup I finally came out of my room.

"Wow you look really beautiful Bella." Edward said and I blushed while saying thanks.

After we got it his car, he drove toward a cinema not far from my place. Currently they were presenting Resident Evil 4: The After Life and I had to see it. Let's just say I'm a little nerdy when it comes to movies.

"So Bella what do you want to see?" He said and I immediately said Resident Evil.

"Really? You like the series?" He asked surprised.

"Of course I do, I even have the video games." I said blushing. Why the fuck did I just tell him that?

"Cool." He said smiling. After buying the tickets, Edward bought popcorn and sodas for the both of us. As we were entering the theatre this kid came up to us and asked for an autograph from both of us. OMG he knows who I am. After giving the autograph we took our seats as the credits rolled. During the whole movie Edward had this… constipated look on his face it was… funny. Once the movie was over, Edward as quickly as he could got out of his seat, grabbed my hand and let me out of the theatre. As we made our way toward the car I couldn't hold the laughter that was bubbling in me.

"What are you laughing about?" Edward asked.

"Nothing." I said still giggling. He stopped walking and while still holding my hand he stopped me as well.

"Bella I love it when you laugh and I love it even more if I'm the one that makes you laugh, so please tell me what you are laughing about." He said while looking deep into my brown eyes with his beautiful green ones.

"I'm laughing because you face was priceless during the whole movie Edward and also because you dragged me out of the theater like bat out of hell." I said with a giggle.

"Well I'm happy that you are enjoying yourself with my small aversion toward the movie." He said as he faked irritation toward me.

"Ok, so what do you want to eat?" He asked with a sweet smile on his face.

"I don't know, I'm kinda in the mood for Mexican food, is that ok with you?" I said with a small blush on my face.

"Mexican it is." He said as he started walking again.

Once we were seated at this cute little Mexican place called "La Mexicana", this beautiful Latin looking girl came up to use and grave us the menus.

"Good evening and welcome to 'La Mexicana' I'm Laura and I'll be your server for tonight, what would you like to drink sir, ma'am?" She said with a slight Latin accent in her speech.

"Thank you Laura, to drink I would like scotch on the rocks if that's ok, what would you like B?" He asked while I looked at the vast list of drinks in the menu.

"Oh um… is the 'Alabama Slammer' good?" I asked Laura.

"It's really good, personally it's one of my favorites." She said with a giggle.

"Ok then, I'll have one of those then." I said with a small smile.

Once she left we both went to check out the whole menu and see what we were going to be eating while our drinks were served. As I looked at the menu, Edward asked me if I wanted nachos as entree and I said yes; as I went back to the menu my eyes fell upon the letters that formed one of my favorite food chooses, the chimichanga. Fuck, I LOVE chimichanga.

Once Laura was back with our drinks, Edward told her our orders and she went for the nachos as she left our orders to me cooked.

"So Bella why exactly did you order the hot chimichanga?" He asked.

"Honestly I love spice food and since I was a kid I've always like the chimichanga it's just sooooooo good against my taste bud. Yummy!" I said and he chuckled.

Once our food had arrived and we had started eating did Edward and I start talking. We talked about our childhood and he told me that Alice being the pixie she is and even if she looked small and vulnerable she was this 'terminator' (his words not mine) of a person and that if she said she wanted or needed something, she had it no matter what. I told him a little more about Kris and how she was like a guardian angel when I was in school and this group of girl bullied me. Sigh, great times. I didn't even notice when we had finished our food and our plates were taken away until Edward asked for the bill.

Once paid and as we headed toward the car Angie sent a text.

~B I'm staying at Ben's I heart u bitch~

Once in the car we headed toward my place. Once there I asked Edward if he would like to hang out for a little while and he said yes, so we made our way to the elevator and up to my apartment. We sat on the couch Edward with a beer and me with a Smirnoff. And with the passing of hours the alcohol went passing by slowly as well.

"How many long term relationships have you had?" I asked Edward.

"To tell you the truth just one, unless you count the on and off times with Tanya but it was really just like fuck buddy, sorry for being so rough by that term." He said while grimacing.

"It's ok I'm quit the podgy mouth myself." I said blushing. "Tell me about that one long term girlfriend of yours."

"Well her name was Amber and she was my high school sweetheart to tell you the truth. And she was almost my first everything, my first girlfriend, my first fuck, first crush, first really date and she was the first girl to meet my parent as my girlfriend. I actually thought I loved her, that was until I found her fucking my at the time and so called best friend Brett just after graduation. It really hurt so to escape that pain, I fuck around in collage while submerging into majoring in music and with a minor in literature I ended up where I am now. Enough about me what about you, have you had any long term relationships B?" He asked.

"Honestly I'm still a virgin, sure I've had guys around me and shit but no long term boyfriends to worry about, you know?" I said with a slight frown. WHY THE FUCK DID I TELL HIM I WAS STILL VIRGIN? ISABELLA ARE YOU STUPID? Well I guess I am.

"Your still virgin?" He asked with a look that was, sort of… adoring and sweet, as if that was the best thing ever. WTF?

"Yes." I said blushing and looking at my hand that were resting against my lap. He grabbed my chin with his long thumb and index making me look up to his beautiful green eyes.

"That's the best thing you could have told me Bella." He said with a small smile on his face.

"Why?" I whispered.

"Because I don't want to rush anything and I want to get to know you much better because honestly even if I don't really know what's going on between us I want something to happen and sex really just complicates things… not that I don't think about have sex with you but," he started rambling and to shut him up I kissed him. Where was this boldness coming from?

When we surfaced for air Edward rested his forehead against mine and said, "Wow." While I giggled shyly.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

As I remembered, there was a knock on the door and I got up to get it. It was Edward; he was dressed rather nice with dark pants, a white bottomed shirt, a baby blue vest and a jacket. Shit he looks soooo hot.

"Wow you look… beautiful." He said as he looked me from head to toe.

"Thanks." I said shyly while blushing crimson. "So Edward where are we going?" I asked.

"I'm not telling you it's a surprise." He said with a smirk as he grabbed my hand, said bye to Angie and guiding me toward the elevator.

As he led me toward his new beautiful red Vanquish he had bought one day out of an urge.

~START OF FLASHBACK~

I was currently wearing an outfit that Alice had chosen for me since I was going out with Edward for lunch; it was a Uniqlo plaid black and white shirt, J Brand black jeans, urban black corset belt and black Chloe boots. Wow, these shoes are sooooooo comfortable, weird.

Even though I was tortured my Fanshionzilla for almost 4 hours, I had to give it to Alice that she could make me look just perfect. At exactly 11:45 a.m. Edward showed up at my door step. He was looking hot (as always) in a light grey long-sleeved shirt with a dark jacket and black jeans with sneakers. We were know seated in Edward's mustang heading toward his house since he said that he wanted to make me lunch. When we got there I was once again stunned into silence with the size of his house.

"So Bella I hope you don't mind that I ordered pizza instead of making lunch but I had a little problem this morning." He said with a little tint of a blush.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Well… let's just say that I may cook great but when I'm nervous I tend to like fire." He said with embarrassment written all over his face.

"Oh my god Edward, there was fire involved?" I said astonished.

"Maybe." He said shyly as I started laughing.

"Yeah happy your amused with my expense." He said as he headed toward the basement where all the fun was.

Once the pizza arrived and Edward had paid, we both sat in the black leather sofa that was in front of a HUGE flat screen. We saw "Just Married" with Ashton Kucher and Brittany Murray while we eat the big pizza and laughed our butts off. When it was around 5 p.m. Edward said that he needed to take me home because Alice wanted some girl time with me (shit!) but that we needed to stop at a car gallery where a friend was working since he owe Edward some money and he needed it; so now we were at the gallery and Edward just bought a beautiful red Vanquish.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

We were heading toward Forks and I didn't get it so I asked. "Are we going to Forks?"

"No, we're going to La Push." He said and I didn't even know that he knew La Push.

"How did you know about La Push?" I asked again.

"Remember how I told you that my parents had a house on the outsides of Forks, well they also have a summer house near La Push." Well that made sense. "So Bella go headed and put whatever you like of my iPod." Edward said.

So I grabbed his iPod and started scrolling though artists of all kind of genres, artists like Aerosmith, Bob Marley, Coldplay, Daughtry, Epica, Fool's Garden, Green Day, Hoobastank, Israel Kamakawiwo Ole, Jimi Hendrix, Jack Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Muse, Maroon 5, Nightwish, NIN, Oasis, The Police, Queen, The Ramones, Soda Stereo, The Beatles, Van Morrison, XTC, 3 Days Grace. And that's just naming some of my favorites from his iPod, because he has around 214 artists.

I also noticed that he had a lot of classic music from Chopin to Apocalyptica. Even though Apocalyptica isn't really classic they do have many covers of the classics. From all the music he has in his iPod I put on some Coldplay. As "Yellow" came up, I remembered one of the last dates we had.

~START OF FLASHBACK~

Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Edward was calling. Funny, changed the ringtone I had for him. After talking for a while he told me to get ready that we were going out on another date. What should I do? What would Kris do?

I thought back to her when she went on mysterious dates and how she had chosen her outfits. I'm going to wear a sun dress. The yellow one that came just above my knees since today I'm feeling freakishly happy for some reason.

I'm nervous and I don't know to expect, Edward always tends to surprise me with his original ideas for dates. I pack my phone in my bag (just in case) and I go to the living room and turn on the TV while I wait for Edward to get here. Within a few minutes, there is a knock on the door and my heart flutters with nervousness. Shit he's here; why the fuck am I so nervous and happy today?

Being a total gentleman like always, he leads me toward his car and I get seated in the passenger seat, then I look at the back seat. There is a blanket, a basket, and a bottle of wine. Are we going on a picnic? I raised an eyebrow at him and he just smiled at me. Fine, keep your dirty little secret.

We go driving down the coast and I have no idea what to expect. Edward suddenly pulls over the side of the road and I realize that we are at Sunset Hill a beautiful beach just 20 minutes from my house; I'm about to ask him what he's doing when he gets out of the car and goes around to open my door. I get out with a confused look on my face; he laughs ever so softly, his face pulling into an amused grin, as his bright green eyes were twinkling with excitement. He goes to get the basket and blankets out as I look across the road and saw the most beautiful ocean view I had ever seen here in Seattle. He takes my hand and we walked across the road. He leads us to a pathway, and after that, I see a yate (ok I see a lot of then but give me a break) that is named "The Ocean's Rose".

We held hands and leaned into each other as we walked along the beach toward what Edward told me was his 'boat'; he said then that he wanted to walk for a while and just talk before we went to his 'boat'. The road wasn't far away, just high-up so we could easily hear the cars going by but it wasn't a distraction. It seemed to magically fit with the scene. Edward talked to me about everything, from cars to his thoughts on life. It was so intriguing. And at times I caught myself staring into his intense, beautiful green eyes.

Suddenly as I was about to reply to a question Edward asked, there was screeching of car tires and honks followed. A flashback of the car crash that took Kris away came rushing in. I felt dizzy and my eyes were going black. It's happening again! Why is it? I have to save her! Kris? I began screaming my sister's name. It was terrifying. I couldn't stop it; I couldn't make it go away. I couldn't save her.

The next thing I was aware of was Edward holding me off the ground in a giant bear hug. He was basically cradling me and I realized what had just happened. My white face became just slightly less pale as I felt myself blush with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Edward." I apologized, feeling ashamed. I can't be scared of car honks for the rest of my life. Keep it together Bella; you're a big girl now.

Edward carefully let me down, and helped me sit on the ground on top one of the blankets. "I'm the one that's sorry Bella; I should have picked a better spot to do this… not beside a busy highway."

"No! Edward! It's amazing! This is just perfect you couldn't have done it any better. It's so romantic and being here with you is the best thing." I told him confidently, leaning my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you Bella. I feel the same with you; I would never want to be anywhere else then here right now with you. You're very important to me Bella, from the moment you sang with me 'Utopia'. I feel for you. I'm falling in love with you every day that I pass with you."

My heart skipped a beat and I felt like I was on cloud nine. I was light-headed because of my mental breakdown a few minutes ago, but I was even dizzier because of what he had just told me.

I opened my mouth to respond but he put a finger to my lips and said, "Hold on, I have something for you." He reaches over to the basket and brings it to his lap. He first wraps the extra blanket around me and then continues to open it.

He took out what looked like a journal and handed it to me. "Don't open it quite yet." He says to me. I look down at the basket and gasped when he pulled out a tiny keyboard. Thoughts of Kris die away as I try to guess what Edward was up to. He just told me he was falling in love with me! What more could he do?

He puts the keyboard down beside him and then takes out an expensive bottle of wine and two expensive wine glasses. He pours one full class for me and him.

"I'd like to give a toast for the feelings I have for you Isabella Swan." He clinks my glass and I take a big sip of the wine. He leans over and kisses me, ever so softly. He releases my lips to soon, and I nearly groaned in annoyance. He turned his keyboard on and played me a beautiful, sensual melody. I close my eyes and slightly sway to the beautiful music. How he managed to make something sound so amazing on a 20 key keyboard is beyond me but he did it wonderfully. Unknowingly tears run down my face and I didn't even notice he stopped until his warm, soft hands gently caressed my cheeks and wiped the tears away. He leaned down and kissed me again, this time with more passion, lust, and love. I released myself from the blanket and turn my body to face his. His hand travelled down my neck, past my shoulders, down my side and ended on my hip. I wanted him to touch me more, but I wasn't ready for this. He seemed to know that and kept his hands at my hip and occasionally brought them up and down my back.

He released my lips after an eternity of bliss and presented me with a small vase with a large single red rose. I cried again because of the total shock and awe of how much effort Edward had put into this.

"I'm falling for you too Edward." I said with a final soft kiss.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"'Clock' is so easy to play on piano." Edward said 'Clocks' started playing and as he brought me out of that beautiful memory.

"Yeah it is but I haven't finished learning it." I said.

"I could help you… if you want to of course." He said as he nervously 'combed' his hair with a few strokes of it.

"I would love to." I said shyly with a small smile.

After the longest drive ever we were finally near La Push and after driving for 5 more minutes we pulled up at this beautiful white beach house. The car stopped. "Bella," he started saying as he nervously passed his hand through his hair 3 times before talking again. "I hope you don't mind but Alice and Angela pack you an overnight bag since I wanted for us to stay here for the weekend, but um… if you don't want to we could always go back." He said as he ran his hand through his hair again.

"Edward I would love to stay here with you tonight." I said while blushing 15 different shades of crimson.

"Great! Ok so how about I give you a little tour before I start with dinner." He said.

"You're making dinner?" I asked a bit astonished.

"Yes and you can't help since its part of the surprise, now come on I'll show you around.

After Edward showed me the living room, the kitchen, the 7 bedroom, the library, his father's office, the games and TV room, I was led toward an exclusive part of the house. Once we entered I saw why.

"Wow… do you have a music room in every house of yours?" I asked not really expecting an answer.

"Well… sort of. At my parents house in London I have one, in the house in Forks I have one, here I do too and at my place I have one too as you already know." He said. Ha right and he's super rich and I didn't know? I'm soooo ignorant and blind.

While Edward made us dinner, he told me to go watch TV so I was currently watching Dr. House but I really wasn't paying much attention to it.

"Hey B dinner's ready, come and get it." Edward said. Aw that sounded so homey. Sigh.

"Wow Edward you do cook great this is delicious." I said as I had my second plate of lasagna.

"Thank you." He said with a light blush on his cheeks. Aw he's blushing.

Once we finished, Edward and I went to the TV and games room and hang out for a while.

"Bella I want to talk to you about something?" Edward said nervously as we sat down on this big couch.

"Ok." I said.

"Bella like I told you a few days ago, I'm falling for you and hard and I want to know if you want something serious with me?" He said looking directly into my eyes. OMG he want me to be his girlfriend.

"I would love to have something serious with you Edward but do you want it to be public?" I asked him.

"Bella I want everyone to know that you are mine." He said with a lustful look on his eyes. God I have to kiss him. So I did. I grabbed his hair and pulled him to me as we connected our lips together. It started out slow and sweet but then Edward started licking my upper lip for permission to go in and I let him; our tongues fought for dominance.

We broke our kiss to breathe as we joined our forehead together. "God I love kissing you." Edward said and he made me giggle. "and I love making you laugh you look soooo beautiful."

"It's because of you Edward you make me happy, really happy." I said as I kissed him again.
