Here'sthe next chapter like i promised! :) Hope you enjoy!

Bella's POV

I kept looking at the clock every second waiting for it to be time to get up and take a shower. It was only 5am; I was not going to wait until 8 like Vivian said. No I was going to get up earlier. I knew I wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep I was too anxious. I don't know why I was so anxious to see him, he was just another guy. I was going to have to be very careful, who knew what he was planning. I couldn't trust anyone, well except for Vivian, Angela, Victoria, and Anne; my family, but something deep inside me told me maybe I could trust him. I couldn't let that feeling get to me, it was dangerous. Again thoughts of yesterday kept running to my head. His hands on my body, me sitting on his lap, his golden brown eyes, his muscular body, his face near mine, his sweet breath against my face, his lips so close to mine…Why couldn't I get him out of my mind? This was starting to get a little weird. Maybe I should cancel our date and stay as far away from him as possible. Maybe then things would start making sense again. I couldn't though. I was already counting the hours to see him. This feeling scared me. This was all going so fast for me. Maybe I should tell him to just stay here in the house and take it slow. We could watch a movie or something, I don't know. After thinking it through for a while I decided that's what I was going to do, ask him to take this slower…

I stayed in bed and it was a little past 7, so I decided to get up and take a shower. When I walked back into my room Vivian was sitting on my bed in her pajamas with a big smile on her face.

"Good morning." Vivian said.

"Good morning." I replied.

"So are you ready for me to beautify you even more that you already are?"

"Ha! You're funny and I guess I am."

"Okay let's start with your hair. I'm going to blow dry it and then curl it up just a bit."

"Okay its fine by me, just don't do anything too fancy. I think I'm going to ask him that we should just take it easy and stay here and watch a movie or something."

"Why?" She demanded.

"Because I feel like this is going too fast." I confessed.

"Bella, what have I told you?" She asked waiting for me to answer her, but I didn't.

"I told you to let go of the past. I told you that guy was a…"

"Stop! Just please stop. I don't want to talk about that." I said. I couldn't stop myself from the memories; his hands running down my body trying to take my clothes off, him hurting me… I shivered at the memory. I had to get distracted before I started crying. Vivian saw it too so she started distracting me.

"Sorry, so what are you going to wear then?"

"Um… I don't know."

"We'll worry about that after I do your hair. I think I'm going to take Anne and Victoria to Seattle while you guys are on your date, so you guys can bond and stuff." She said smiling wagging her eyebrows at me.

"We aren't going to do stuff you perve!"

She started laughing her butt off. "That's what you say now. With a guy as gorgeous as Edward anything could happen." I rolled my eyes at her. She was so crazy sometimes.

She was almost done curling my hair when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled.

"Good morning girls. What are you guys doing?" Anne said coming in.

"Good morning Anne." We both said.

"I'm just here getting Bella ready for her date." Vivian said.

"Date?" She asked looking at me with surprise.

"Yes, can you believe it?" Vivian said.

"You have to fill me in on everything!" She said excitedly sitting on my bed.

We all laughed at her excitement.

Vivian and I told her everything on how Edward and I met and everything that happened up until yesterday.

"Oh my god! That's so exciting! Bella I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"He is extremely gorgeous! Bella if you don't want him I do." Vivian said jokingly.

Although she was joking I knew she was being serious at the same time.

"Now Anne, help me pick up an outfit for Bella!" Vivian said excitedly while grabbing Anne's arm and dragging her to my closet.

I sighed this was going to take a while. I heard them deciding what I should wear.

They came out with a white short sleeved v- neck and a black short sleeved jacket with dark skinny jeans and converse. They also had a white beaded necklace. I had to admit it they had good taste.

"Put this on." Vivian demanded.

"You are going to look so cute!" Anne said excitedly.

I put the clothes on and then Anne was like. "Sit down! We got to do you're makeup!"

I sat back down and she started putting on black eyeliner and mascara.

After she was done I looked in the mirror. I had to admit I looked pretty good, but I felt like I was trying too hard.

"You look amazing!" Anne gushed.

"You look pretty sexy girl! He's going to be amazed when he sees you!" Vivian said making me blush.

Did I want him to be amazed to see me? The answer was both yes and no.

"Now let's go show Victoria and then you need to eat breakfast. Don't worry Bella everything is going to be fine, I promise." Anne said. I loved Anne she was so sweet, she was exactly like the sister I always wanted. She was always so positive although sometimes it was frustrating.

We walked downstairs to find Victoria; she was in the kitchen making breakfast for us.

"Close your eyes for a sec sis, don't open them until I tell you okay?" Anne said.

"What's going on?" Victoria panicked.

"Just close your eyes trust us." Anne reassured her.

When Victoria closed her eyes Anne and Vivian rushed me over in front of Victoria. I bit my lip, nervous to what she will say when she saw me and find out what I was going to be doing later.

"Okay sis, open them." Anne commanded.

Victoria opened her eyes and saw me. "Wow Bella you look amazing!" She said approvingly.

I blushed and murmured "Thanks Victoria."

"Yay! Victoria approves so that means we did a good job!" Vivian beamed.

"So where are you going looking so amazing?" Victoria asked.

Crap! What if she got mad at me for not telling her before and wouldn't let me go?

"Bella has a date with Edward Cullen!" Vivian gushed. I glared at her for not letting me tell her.

"What?" Victoria gasped looking at me for an explanation.

"Um…yeah I have a date with him kind of." I murmured.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Victoria, don't tell me you aren't going to let her go?" Anne demanded angrily at her sister.

Victoria glared at her for a second then turned back to me for an answer. She looked super pissed. This couldn't be good.

I took a deep breath and answered, "…because he asked me out last night in the parking lot."

"Oh. Well I think this is great Bella!"

"What?" We all gasped. Did she just say what we think she said? She usually was super strict about stuff like this. She didn't like last minute thing. I so thought she was going to give me crap for this.

"What the hell!" Vivian shrieked.

"Who are you and what have you done to my sister?" Anne demanded.

Victoria looked amused at us and said, "Why do you girls look so shocked? I think it's great that Bella is giving herself the chance to go out with other people beside us."

I stared at her in shock still not believing this. She walked toward me and took my hands in her and motioned for the other girls to leave us alone. We sat down on the kitchen table and she looked at me really serious.

"Bella… You deserve happiness sweetheart. I know that you have been through a lot and it's hard for you to trust people, but you need to give yourself the chance to change the way you see things by letting people into your life. I want to see you happy Bella, I've come to see you as a sister or even a daughter… and I want the best for you… In the beginning when you came, you were a mess…you were destroyed and traumatized from what you had lived through... It took you a while for us to gain your trust. You always looked like you were scared we would hurt you or call the police and turn you in. Even the slightest noise would make you flinch… but little by little you started to realize that not all of us were like your mom and her boyfriend…or even that guy… After a while you were happier and now you're happy, but not enough…You need a love life Bella…You need to find your soul mate and who knows maybe Edward is the one, since this is the first time you have given a guy a chance. There has to be something about this guy that is different. I know this is a big change and a big risk, but life is about taking risks and trying something new to get to what you want."

I stared at her letting everything sink in. Was she right? Should I give myself a chance? I wanted to, but it scared the hell out of me. What if I got hurt again?

"Bella it'll be okay trust me… and if it isn't and that guy hurts you, I'll personally go and kill him." She said with a smile.

I smiled back at her and nodded. I was still nervous, but she was right I had to take the risk. Edward seemed like a really nice and sweet guy, maybe I could trust him…

"Okay enough of the heavy…let's eat breakfast!" She said smiling.

Anne and Vivian came in as they heard that and sat down smiling at us.

"So… what time is he picking you up and where are you guys going?" Victoria asked.

"At ten and I don't know where we are going, but I was thinking of chilling here for a while and then we can go from there." I said.

"I think the rest of us should go somewhere so Bella and Edward can be confortable and get to know each other." Vivian said.

Anne nodded and said "Great idea! We should go to the mall and buy some cute clothes!"

"Yeah that's a great idea! We could buy something cute for Bella for her next date with Edward!" Victoria said excitedly.

"I haven't even gone on this date yet and don't know how it will go and you guys are already planning our next date? You guys are incredible!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Don't be so pessimistic Bella, everything will turn out great! You'll see." Vivian said.

We ate breakfast and they left to the mall. I was so nervous; I kept pacing back and forth checking my phone for the time and any message from him saying he rethought it and didn't want to go out anymore. I needed to breathe and calm down. I sat down and tried calming myself. Breathe in. Breathe out. I commanded myself. I heard a knock at the door and my heart started thumping fast again. I ran to the door and opened it. Edward stood there looking like a Greek God. My heart started beating faster at his gorgeousness. He wore a light grey shirt with a dark jean jacket and matching jeans with black converse.

"Good morning Bella, you look beautiful." He said making me blush.

"Good morning Edward. You look pretty handsome yourself." I said blushing. Why did I just say that?

He chuckled and said, "Thanks."

"Um… do you want to come in?" I asked

"Sure." He said smiling.

I led him into the living room and sat on the couch.

"So…what are we doing today?" I asked.

"Well we have a change of plans. I was going to take you hiking, but thought it was too soon for that since we are just meeting. What would you like to do?"

I stared at him in shock. Did he really want to take this slow as much as I did? Was he scared too? This was the best news yet!

"Bella are you okay? You seem like you're in shock?" Edward asked worriedly.

I shook my head, "Sorry, I'm just glad you want to take this slow as much as I do. I don't know I was thinking we could stay here and talk. Watch a movie maybe for a while then we could go out somewhere for a walk or something…" I kept rambling.

"I think that sounds fine, maybe we can go walk around Forks. Have you been there?"

"I've been there like once or twice. I don't have any reason to go up there…"

"Well then we definitely need to go there! We can stay here and talk for a while. What would you like to talk about?"

"Um okay…and I don't know…tell me about yourself I guess." I had to distract him while I thought about what I would tell him.

"Well I just moved into town last week, I moved from Alaska…"

"Alaska? That's so cool! Is it super cold like they say it is?" I said interrupting him. "Sorry didn't mean to interrupt you!"

He chuckled, "Its fine and I guess, but I really didn't like living there. Well I wasn't comfortable there let's put it that way."

"Why not?" I was actually interested to know more about him. Weird…

"Well… it's just some people just can't take a hint…" He said.

I laughed, "Oh I definitely know what you're talking about!"

He looked into my eyes and smiled. I didn't look away and neither did him. We stared at each other for a few minutes. I think I stopped breathing, but too soon he closed his eyes and looked away. He looked pained and I didn't like that one bit.

"Where were we?" He asked.

"Um…you were telling me about yourself." I said biting my lip.

"Oh yes…well I'm adopted, my parents died a long time ago…my aunt Esme decided to take me in. Carlisle and Esme have been my parents since…" He said staring out the window.

"I'm so sorry…" I felt really bad. Edward was adopted just like I was in a way. It was weird that we had stuff in common.

"It's okay, I don't remember my parents anyways…Esme can't have kids so she adopted the rest of my siblings too."

"Oh…How many siblings do you have beside Emmett and Jasper?"

He turned to look at me again, "Just two more. My sisters Alice and Rosalie… Jasper and Rosalie are actually brothers…"

"Oh…Well Esme sounds very lovely and nice for adopting you guys." I said sincerely.

He gave me this crooked smile that almost made my heart stop. "Yes she is… I don't know what we would be without her."

"Do you go to school?" I asked.

"Yes I go to Forks High School; I'm a junior."

"Really? You look older, I would of thought you were a senior." I said. He really did look older. Maybe he failed, but I didn't think so he looked like he was really smart.

He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Yeah I get that a lot… Well enough about me tell me about yourself." He said excitedly.

I sighed heavily. What would I tell him? I couldn't let him in that easily. I was going to have to lie to him. Tell him the lie I told his adoptive father at the hospital.

"What do you want to know?"

"Who do you live with?"

"With my sisters: Victoria, Anne, and Vivian…Victoria has been taking care of us ever since our parents died…" Hopefully he believed me, I was sometimes a bad liar. He looked deep in thought.

"Hmmm…But don't you think it's kind of wrong that she would make you girls work as… strippers?" Of course he would say something about that. What was I going to tell him?

"Well she didn't make us…she gave us the choice." I said defending Victoria. "I could of easily gone to work at Anne's restaurant next door, but I decided to be a stripper instead." He looked surprised by that. I was lying to him though. At 15 and still now at 17 my only choice was the stripper club because I am too young to work at the restaurant. I can easily go and work with Anne once I turn 18, but I didn't know if I was going to change jobs.

"Why would you want to work at a strip club though?" He asked curiously.

Man why did he keep asking the wrong questions? The one's I couldn't answer.

"I guess I liked the idea of being a rebel and being different… I don't know…" I was such a liar. If I were Pinocchio my nose would have been huge by now.

He looked at my face trying to read it. He smirked, he knew I was lying. He could see right through me, I could tell. He just shook his head though and let it go. Thank god for that.

"So do you go to school?"

Crap! "Um...yeah why wouldn't I?"

I looked over at him and he looked amused, "I don't know. What school do you go to?"

I was screwed! "Um…actually I'm home schooled." Yeah nice save Bella, you deserve a pat on the back.

He raised his eyebrow "Really? Who home schools you?"

"Anne does… She's super smart." Now that I think about it I wasn't lying. Anne has always been teaching Vivian and me things.

"That's good, so…" He paused he looked super nervous about what he was going to say next, like he was deciding whether or not to ask.

"Do you have a boyfriend I should know about?" Oh man he has to be kidding me! I blushed and looked down. After a while I still didn't answer and he took my silence as a yes.

"I get if you do… I mean you're very beautiful…He's very lucky…" I looked at him and he looked so sad. I wanted to reach out and touch his cheek and comfort him.

I laughed through my nose and looked down at my hands, "No I don't have a boyfriend…"

I looked up at him and he was smiling so hugely. "That's good to know…"

I blushed and looked away again.

"So are you going to take me to Forks or was that all talk?" I asked smiling up at him.

He chuckled and said excitedly, "Let's go then!" He put his hand out to help me up and we went outside to his Volvo and headed to Forks…

"So you know how you said that people can't take a hint? It was a girl right? That's why you moved here because she became a creeper?" I said as we walked around Forks.

He looked over surprised at me. "How did you know?"

"Well it's not that hard. I mean c'mon look at yourself!" I said waving my hand in front of him. "Any girl would want to be all over you, trust me." I said winking at him and chuckling remembering what Vivian had said that she would so tap that.

He raised his eyebrow, "Really? So you would be all over me? I mean you already have since you gave me a lap dance." He said teasing me, which made me blush and made him laugh out loud.

"Whatever!" I said rolling my eyes at him. "…so it was a girl though right?"

He looked over at me like he was debating on what to say and took a deep breathe. "Yeah it was, I told her many times I wasn't interested, but she just didn't get it I guess."

"Was she ugly or something?" I had to ask.

"No. She was very beautiful, just not my type I guess. I prefer brunettes though…" He said looking over at me. I blushed and looked away. He must be joking with me, no guy would ever want to date me; especially a guy as gorgeous as Edward.

"Oh what is she blonde or something?" I asked my eyes looking down at the pavement.

"She's strawberry blonde actually. Not my type at all." He said chuckling.

"Oh figures." I said smiling up at him. Which wasn't a good idea because I almost fell over staring at his gorgeous face, but he grabbed me before I fell.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks…" I said embarrassed. He didn't look convinced, but let it go.

"So what do you think about Forks?" He asked.

"It's beautiful, although it's so small." I said making a face which made us both laugh.

"Indeed it is, but it's pretty peaceful and a nice place to live in." Another deep voice that I didn't recognize said.

We both looked up to where the voice came from and it was this man in a police uniform. He was kind of tall, skinny, had short hair and a mustache. He smiled at as we walked past his house.

"Hello Chief Swan, how are you?" Edward asked politely.

"Good thank you. How about you? Not speeding again hopefully?" Chief Swan asked.

"I'm good too and nope, I've been a good boy." He said smiling at Chief Swan.

"Well that's good. Who's this lovely young lady you have here? I've never seen her before, so you must be new here."

I blushed at him calling me for calling me a lovely young lady, if he only knew what I did for a living he would probably arrest me and if he found out I ran away from home he would probably send me back to Renee.

"Actually no I live in Port Angeles. I'm Bella nice to meet you Chief Swan" I said sticking my hand out to shake his.

"Nice to meet you too Bella. You know you look kind of familiar now that I think about it…"

Dun dun dun! Bella met Charlie! :O what will happen? haha thanks for reading guys! please comment and tell me what u think! :)
