Edward Pov:

Today we were leaving for a weekend trip to Portland, Oregon. Carlisle had to travel there on business and thought why not make it a family trip instead. It was perfect because it's the perfect setting for a first date, and I heard the city is beautiful. Anything to get out of Forks. Bella and I are boyfriend/girlfriend but we haven't been on an actual date yet and I just could not wait any longer to ask her. It has been a year since we got together and we were 14 now. I know I waited an entire year to ask her on an actual date, but I was just too nervous, and she didn't seem to mind that I waited so long, because she said yes, then asked me what we were going to do, and when. I said nope, it is a surprise. Knowing just how much she hated surprises. She then proceeded to glare at me. I knew she couldn't stay mad me at for long. And she didn't, we made up 15 minutes later.

Bella's parents let her come with us. They couldn't come themselves because Charlie had to stay and work and Renee wanted to stay with him. Which was more than fine with me, I would miss them for sure, they were like second parents to me, but bringing another set of parents on a trip where you're going to go out on dates with their daughter is too awkward. I was just glad Carlisle would be too busy with business, and Esme would be watching and doing activities with Alice and Emmett, to notice just Bella and I doing our own thing. I had asked her before hand and she said that it was fine, just to be careful, keep Bella with me at all times, and to bring both of your guises cell phones.

Right now I was packing my stuff and Bella was at her place packing her stuff as well. I had just about finished when I felt two hands wrap around my waist. They then proceeded to moved up, slowly, and cover my eyes. I felt her lips at my ear and then she said,

"Guess Who."

"Well, I could never forget such a voice, Emmett?"

As she smacked me, I turned around and came face to face with my own personal angel, Bella.

"Shut up and kiss me." she laughed.

And I did just that. After a while I deepened the kiss and soon we were on my bed and she was straddling my waist. But all good things must come to an end, when we heard a high, soprano voice yell,

"My eyes! My eyes! Please no sex while I am in the room! I am too young to see it, and you're too young to do it!"

"Alice we weren't going to have sex, we know we are not ready, and I would appreciate it if you would stop interrupting us."

"No I won't stop, because it is all too fun annoying you. You should just wait until your married like I am. If my man really loves me then he'll wait until we are married. That is the ultimate test of faith."

"Alice aren't you a little too young to be thinking about this kind of stuff?" Bella asked.

"Yes, but I already know what is going to happen in my love life. Aren't you a little too young to be doing this kind of stuff?" She said.

"Yes, that is why we are not doing anything. And what do you mean you already know?"

" Just that, I already know. I just have this feeling, that I'm going to meet a southern gentlemen, your guises age, and he is going to wait for me, faithfully, until we get married. Ahh, I can't wait!" Alice squealed.

Usually Alice got these 'feelings' and we have just learned to trust her. She has yet to be proven wrong.

"Okay, then if this is going to happen, then when are you going to meet him?"

"How am I supposed to know, it is just a feeling, concrete feeling, but just a feeling. It's not like I get the whole picture or anything." She snorted. But then continued saying,

"Ooh, but what if I did? I would be unstoppable!" She got lost in thought. Then immediately just walked away. Such an odd one.

We left my room then went down stairs, put our things in the car, then went back inside and waited for mom, dad, Alice, and Emmett to be done with their stuff. Eventually at one point they all came down. There were going to be six of us so we were going to be taking two cars. Carlisle, Bella and I in one car, and Esme, Emmett, and Alice in the other. It was going to take us 4 and half hours to get there, and then we would be checking into the Hilton hotel. We would be getting there at about 7, so instead of going out, we will be just staying in, and going to bed after the long car ride.

We all got into our respective cars and left the house. Bella and I held hands and she rested her head on my shoulder. Carlisle was the first to break the silence.

"So what are you guys going to do when we get there?"

"Explore the city, see a movie, and see the sights. You know the usual." I answered.

"Good, well there is a reason why I wanted you two in my car, there is something important we need to discuss."

"Okay, shoot."

"Well I know you guys are at a certain age, and you will be having these feelings you don't really understand. I just wanted you two to know that if you have any questions at all that all you need to do is ask me. I may be a father but I am also a doctor. I know a lot about STDs, unprotected sex, unplanned pregnancy-" I stopped him there.

"Dad, don't worry, we know all this stuff and we both know we are not ready yet. We kind of already had this conversation with Alice anyway. You trained her well."

"Yes, and if we do have any questions we will be sure to ask." Bella added.

"Good, good, then you all understand?"

We both nodded.

"Thank goodness, because that was just too uncomfortable. Next time it's you mother's turn." He trailed off, now just paying attention to the road.

The rest of the drive was quiet. I read while Bella slept on my shoulder. After a couple of hours she woke up and I got tired of my book, so Bella and I just cuddled. We couldn't really talk about much, we already knew almost everything about our lives, plus we weren't those kinds of people to fill the silence with useless chatter and small talk. All in all it was nice.

We arrived at the hotel at 7:30, and were all exhausted. We checked in, and went up to

our rooms, then all went to sleep. The next morning we woke up rather early and dad had left for some medical meeting. I got up and ready for Bella and I's breakfast date. It was surprisingly sunny and really warm, which is good since Portland is known for its rainy/cloudy weather, not as bad as Forks, but still pretty constant. Bella came out and said she was ready, and ready she was. She was wearing white shorts, a white blouse tank thing, white crochet wedges, aviator sunglasses, a white backpack (probably to hold our stuff), jewelry to match, light make up but it made her already long lashes that much longer and standout, and her hair was curly and slightly wild, and to finish it all off her lips were ruby red. She as always, looked like a knockout. And I still can't believe that she's mine.

"You look, unbelievable." I said while kissing her.

"Thank you, so do you. Are you ready to go?" She said when I pulled away.

"Yeah, let's go."

We left together and arrived at a place called Voodoo Donuts, a couple minutes later. It looked really strange but I guess that's just a city thing. Portland seemed too weird for words. But I didn't mind, it made it a lot more interesting. On the way here we saw a guy dressed up as dearth Vader pass us and was playing the bagpipes while riding a unicycle. Oh and a couple of times we saw hula hoops locked up to bike racks. After getting out donuts we went to pioneer square, sat on the steps and started eating our donuts, that had very weird names like, the gay bar donut, the old dirty bastard donut, cock-n-balls donut (whose shape left little to the imagination), Miami vice donut, and they even had a 'no name donut', and a lot more. We just got one of each and split each one. Even though the names were weird, they tasted amazing! And Bella and I heard that every year they have a naked bike ride parade thing. I didn't really know what to say to that. But everything was an experience.

After breakfast we visited different places, and saw many different things. We saw the smallest park ever recorded, and we walked along the Willamette River in the park next to it. Eventually we headed back for the hotel and had dinner then went to sleep. Tomorrow was our last day and we were leaving the next morning. Our date was at dinner tomorrow night. I was taking her to The Melting Pot, a fondue place that was underground. I had made reservations at 8. Our last day was nice, we all went as a family to the Oregon Zoo, and the animals there were just amazing, I loved the lions, but Bella loved the lambs. After that we went to Pioneer Square and saw a movie in the square. By the time the movie was over Alice and Emmett were tired, so Esme and Carlisle took them back to the room, while we went and changed for dinner. The place we were going was an upscale place so we had to dress nice. Plus us being a couple of 14 year olds, I didn't want them getting the wrong impression.

Bella came out and I swore my heart stopped. she was wearing a blood red halter dress that came up to just above her knee, red peep toe heels that had a black bow on the front, a red clutch, ruby and diamond heart necklace, rings, and her beautiful mahogany brown hair, that was enhanced by the color of the dress, was in big, loose, wavy curls, that framed her face in the most beautiful way, her eye makeup was set gold tones, and her eyelashes were long and curled, and her full lips were blood red. I couldn't breathe; she was the most stunning creature that has ever been. I never thought it was physically capable to be that gorgeous, but of course Bella was the one to prove me wrong. Bella's whole outfit made her look more mature than her actual age, but didn't look like she was trying too hard, like most girls our age. Her dress hugged her curves in the most delicious way, and showed her c-cup cleavage in a way that was tasteful but noticeable for sure. I kind of didn't want her to go out, just thinking of all the looks she would most defiantly get. She looked like a woman.

"Bella you look...I don't think there is a word that could compensate for your beauty. Stunning, heartbreakingly beautiful, gorgeous...I am stunned." I said in awe. Of course she blushed hearing this, and said,

"I'm not t-that great looking, its n-nothing really." She stuttered, probably floored by my intense stare.

"Trust me, you look delectable." I said while leaning down to kiss her milky white neck.

"Mhmm, E-edward st-top were going to miss our reservations." She moaned out, not really sounding like she wanted me to stop.

"Then tell me you trust me, and that you look hot." I said against her neck.

"I trust you." She said breathlessly.

"That's not all." I said.

"I look-hot." Bella said after a long pause. I stopped and kissed her quickly and grabbed my jacket and we left.

We arrived at the restaurant a few minutes later and order our food. When it came we ate and conversed. About everything and nothing. The food was delicious and when it came to paying the bill, Bella wanted to pay for her half but I reminded her that this was a date and that I was paying. When we left the restaurant it was quite cold outside and Bella was shivering, since she didn't bring a coat. I gave her mine, and she smiled gratefully at me. We were just about there when these guys came up to us.

"Hey baby, how much for the night." One guy said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"What I wouldn't give to have those lips wrapped around my cock." Another said.

"Hey dude, why don't you leave and let us have our turn."

After hearing all that I was seeing red, I grabbed the guy whose hand was moving down Bella's hips and twisted it around and broke it. His friends tried to help but I took one guys head by his hair and slammed his face into the wall, eventually he passed out, along with his friend, who couldn't handle the pain. The last guy came at me, full frontal, and as he was about to grab me I swiped his feet, and punched him in the face, knocking him out too. They were all passed out and a cop saw the whole thing and came and arrested them. He said since they were harassing us and since he saw the entire thing, and that is was obviously self-defense that he had it all taken care of and that we wouldn't have to come into the station. All he would need was a statement and our number and address for further questions. After giving him all our information we headed back to the hotel with no further problems.

When we told our parents they were shocked and angry, but when we told them of the outcome they were relieved, glad we were alright. Suddenly I was grateful for all those mixed martial arts, and karate classes my dad made me take. I didn't know what would happen if I lost Bella. She is my entire world, and just the thought of her not in my life was unthinkable. I knew I loved her. And when tonight happened I knew I didn't want to go another day without telling her how I really felt. The whole time Bella was quiet, and I knew she was still scared. We packed up all of our stuff since we were leaving early in the morning, and changed for bed. Bella got in the same bed as I and as we were laying, she then started to speak, very softly,

"Did I really look like a whore?"

"Of course not. You looked beautiful. They are just a bunch of lowlife drunks."

"Edward do you promise to protect me forever?"

"I promise I will protect you for the rest of my life."

"Even when you get sick of me and then get rid of me?" She asked in a heartbreaking voice.

"Bella look at me." I grabbed her chin and forced her (not too hard) to look at me. She stared up at me, with a look of utter innocence and vulnerability. It was time to tell her. "I will never get sick of you. I will always be there for you, because, Bella, I love you." I told her honestly and with as much love as I could, looking at her directly in her gorgeous eyes.

"Really? You l-love me?"

"I really do. With all my heart. Madly, Truly, Deeply."

"I love you too." Bella said with nothing but honestly and love in her voice.

"I will never let anything happen to you, you are my life now." We went to sleep, spooning each other. The perfect end of a terrible night.

AN: I hope you like it. In case you didn't know Portland Or is a real place, so is Voodoo Donuts, and Hilton hotel, Pioneer Square, Oregon Zoo, & The Melting Pot, ect. Those donuts ARE real, and those names ARE THE REAL NAMES. I have had them, they are delicious. And the things that happened like darth Vader on the unicycle and the hula-hoop's locked up on bike racks, naked bike parade, ACTALLY DID and DO HAPPEN. Portland is weird but I LOVE it. Portland is beautiful, and a great place to visit.

I keep forgetting to do these:
