Into You

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Twilight characters or anything Twilight related.

So Edward and Bella finally confessed their feelings and shared a kiss or two. ;)

I wonder what's gonna happen now going from there. Let's go ahead and find out. Enjoy!

Chapter 8 – Night Changes

We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

~ One Direction

Edward's POV

"I think we should head on back." I said after a moment of silence from one of the best, blissful moments of my life.

"I guess you're right." Bella sighed, my hands still resting on her face. Though I can never read her like I read others, I could tell she doesn't want this night to end, but it was getting late, and I'm sure Bella and Charlie have a long ride back to their place.

Bella's eyes were closed still from kissing. God, that kiss. Never have I ever felt something so… amazing is the first word that pops into my mind. Bella's lips on mine was pure heaven. I never thought I'd kiss Bella but somehow, I did. To hear Bella admit that she has feelings for me was unexpected music to my ears. This is just… damn.

But what does this mean exactly? Are we now boyfriend and girlfriend? Does that make us a couple? How are we gonna do this exactly? My past experience on dating are different to where I am now. Does Bella really want this?

"What is it?" Bella asked, snapping me out of my thoughts as I saw that her eyes are now opened.

"I, um," I cleared my throat, letting go of her face, before I was able to say it. "I don't wanna scare you or anything, but I feel like I should let you know that I um… I don't want to be like this with anyone else." I said, my voice was shaky halfway through.

"Edward, are you saying that you'd like to be my boyfriend?" Bella asked, smiling causing me to gulp when my eyes met hers.

"Well, I know it seems too soon. We've only known each other since last week. And conventionally, though I'm not sure how you would count our dinner tonight, I'm supposed to take you out on a few dates and be sure that I'm serious about you before committing. But I know that I'm serious about you and I want… this." I rambled, looking away from Bella. Great, I sound like a pathetic fool.

I heard Bella gave out a little laugh before I felt her hands on my face turning me to look at Bella. "I don't think our situation is conventional." She smiled, causing me to be relieved. "I do want this. Very so." She smiled even bigger.

I just sat there and just stared at Bella. Was she serious? I couldn't tell if she was acting or not, she's good at it. I blinked a couple of times before I spoke.

"Um, sorry, can you say that again?" I asked after shaking my head out of my thoughts. Bella just laughed at my reaction and then wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me towards her until our foreheads touched.

"Edward," She began. "I'd like to be your girlfriend."

I was baffled, my mouth was opened, then closed, before I started to smile. "Really?" I asked, sounding unsure, which I am. "I don't wanna force it on you or anything –" Wait, no, god dammit! I thought, shaking my head. That's when Bella chose to cut in.

"I mean it, Edward." She said. "I never thought to be with someone like you, and I don't think that's gonna change any time soon." She said, biting her lip just as her cheeks turned red causing me to chuckle.

I took her waist and pulled her close to me where I was an inch away from having her lips touch mine. "Good," I said. "Glad we cleared that up." And that's when I've done enough stalling and kissed her again.

Bella didn't seem to complain when she returned the feeling as she pulled me closer to her when her fingers went to my hair. I nearly died when I did something bold, my tongue touched the bottom of her lips. She didn't freeze, or freak out. This feeling… is incredible.

I've kissed a few girls before, but none of them come even close to how I feel when it comes to kissing Bella. I'd never imagine the thought of myself kissing America's Princess. I'd never even imagine the idea of having Bella as my girlfriend. Hell, I didn't even think I would become her boyfriend. And yet, here I am, kissing this girl right now, as she accepts to be my girlfriend. Out of all the wins I had as a quarterback, the time I got to be with Bella on stage, the day she came over to celebrate my sister's birthday and I was invited to hers, this is the best moment of my life.

Just as I was about to open my mouth for more of the kiss, she pulled back.

"Um, Edward," Bella giggled. "I believe you said we should head back."

"Oh, right, sorry." I said in embarrassment.

"Don't be," Bella said when she let go of my head and took both of my hands in hers. "I wasn't complaining, but know that we just became boyfriend and girlfriend less than an hour ago and we should slow things down."

"I get it. I guess everything was all so sudden that I forgot what I should be doing first." I said as we both got up and head to my car. As soon as we got in and I started driving, Bella was looking through my CDs for music to listen to. When she saw her CD in it, I would assume she would want to hear it, but instead went to one of my favorite classics, Debussy. I didn't know Bella was a fan of the classics. Some fan I am. Well, now her boyfriend.

Boyfriend. Damn. I can't believe I'm her boyfriend. This is unfucking believable! I mean, what were the odds of me being the boyfriend of Bella Swan? Very, very, slim, if I was using Ben's calculation. I wonder now what I should be doing? I mean, I know how the whole boyfriend and girlfriend thing works but how does it work for Bella? We both come from different worlds so I don't know how to play it out. Well, I do know one thing I should do.

"Bella," I asked as we came to a stoplight before heading into the neighborhood. "I know that you said that you will be my girlfriend, but I feel like I should do something first, and that's asking you… to hang out… I mean something for the two of us…" God dammit. I thought. Just say it. I took a deep breath and turned my head to look at Bella who was being patient when I said, "I want to ask you out on a… date."

Bella's lips slowly smiled. "Like a real date?"

"Y-Yeah. Not that I wouldn't count the dinner tonight was one, it was a good night though, but I want to have dinner with you… as my girlfriend. What do you say?" I asked, nervously.

Bella leaned over and kissed my cheek. Her face was beaming. "I'd love that." She said causing me to smile big just as the light turned green. "When?" She asked. That's when an idea hit me.

"I do know a good place to have our first date tomorrow?" I said.

"Where?"

I just let out a laugh. "I'm not gonna tell you." I said.

"Edward, I don't like surprises." Bella said.

"Sorry you feel that way, but I'm taking you out and that means I'm gonna surprise you." I smirked. "But I will tell you that you should wear something really nice." I said.

"Fine." Bella sighed in defeat.

"Are you really gonna fight me on this," I looked at time on the dashboard and turned to her. "Forty-five minutes since we started dating?" I teased seeing Bella with her arms crossed. I gotta admit, Bella looks cute when she pouts.

Bella sighed. "No. Just saying that I'm no fan of surprises. No matter how many times Renee, or even Alice has been told numerous of times." She said.

"Well trust me Bella, you'll love this surprise." I said with a smile. She turned to see me and then sighed giving a small smile.

"If you say so." She said just as we pulled up on my driveway. I quickly turned off the engine and got out fast to come over to Bella's side and opened the door for her. I smirked as she giggled taking my hand as she got out of the car. We went inside the house to see my parents with Charlie now in the kitchen.

"You know what else I like about you?" Charlie asked Carlisle as they were both sitting with glasses of mimosas in their hands. "You got the looks and the brains that would qualify you to star in Grey's Anatomy or The Good Doctor!" He said, sounding a little too high as Carlisle slapped the table.

"Thank you for noticing!" Carlisle exclaimed as he and Charlie took a sip of their drinks.

"I'm serious, I'm telling you, I see Emmy Awards and Oscars with your name on it!" Charlie said raising a glass up before taking another sip.

"Well you know what I like about you?" Carlisle asked Charlie. "You make people laugh without even trying!"

"See that's the thing, you don't need to be funny to be funny." Charlie said as he placed a hand on Carlisle's shoulder as those two laugh their asses off. The fuck?

Bella and I looked at each other having confused, weird looks and then turned to Esme who was standing by the sink, watching as she was drying one of the dishes with a towel.

"Let's just say the only thing those two were able to put away were those." She sighed with a small smile as she pointed out the mimosas.

"Oh dear god." Bella groaned as she took off her wig. My thoughts exactly. Have you seen my dad get drunk? Mom is worst.

"Um, where's Nessie?" I asked.

"She and Fluff tuckered themselves out." Esme pointed out to the living room where we see Nessie on the couch with Fluff lying on her back, both asleep.

"Good thing I was driving." Bella said and then went over to Charlie. "Okay old man, I think you had enough for tonight and it's time I get you and Fluff home."

"Oh calm down." Charlie said to Bella like it was no big deal. "I only had like seven of these tonight and some of that woman's dynamite cooking!" He said pointing at Esme, raising a glass.

Bella rolled her eyes and then placed a hand on her hip. "If you don't get up this instant, I'm gonna have to drag you out." She said, hissing that last part. "I don't wanna deal with Renee any more than what we had dealt with earlier tonight. Do you?"

Charlie muttered something and said, "Fine." He said as he got up. I wonder what happened between them and Renee. I'm sure it has something to do with me, but what exactly. "Carlisle, Esme, it was pleasure meeting you both. We should do this again sometime." He said as my father got up and both of them gave each other a big man hug. Charlie soon went over to hug Esme causing to blush furiously. Oh dear god! I thought, thinking I'm gonna sick as Bella went over to pick up a sleeping Fluff and stroke Renesmee's face before coming over to us.

"Well, we should be going. Thanks for tonight Edward. I had fun." She smiled as I walked her out of the house to her car.

"Ditto." I said giving her a quick kiss. "I'll let you know about our date."

"Can't wait." Bella beamed as Charlie came out saying goodbye to my parents.

"Have a good night son!" Charlie said, slapping my back and I can see he's a little tipsy causing me to help him get into the car. Once he was settled in with Bella and Fluff, Bella wished me goodnight and pulled out of the driveway, and drove off.

I went inside to see my dad went upstairs with Nessie still asleep, taking her to her room. I was about to follow when my mom called me.

"Edward, sweetheart, how was your evening with Bella?" She asked.

I stopped when I placed a hand on the rail, turning pink remembering how my night with Bella went.

"It was nice." I said, not even looking and starting walking, only taking three steps.

"HALT!" She commanded causing me to freeze in place. Dammit! Women and their intuition. "What happened?" She sounded very excited, which was what I was afraid of.

I slowly turned around and looked at my mom nervously as she looks like she can't hold it any longer. "Um… Bella and I… confessed that… we like each other, and became… boyfriend and girlfriend?" I explained with that last part sounding more like a question.

And that's when she lost it with excitement as she rushed over to hug me. "Oh sweetheart, that's wonderful!" She exclaimed.

"Hold your excitement there, mom," I said getting her to let go and calm her down. "Bella and I just started becoming a couple, and we haven't even gone out on a date yet. Plus, this relationship is new to the both of us, so please don't get high hopes about us. We don't even know how it'll turn out."

"I get it, but I believe that you two are meant to be. I knew it when I saw how you two interacted at your sister's party and just had this feeling that you two will one day end up together, and I was right." Esme smiled brightly. Are you kidding me?!

"Man, does everyone know about me and Bella?" I asked.

"No, not the part of you dating now, I'm talking about the connection you two shared, your closeness." Esme smiled. "Anyway, things will work out sweetheart. A mother knows it. Just have faith in your relationship if she means that much to you."

"Thanks mom." I smiled. Okay, call me a mama's boy because of how much I love her and can rely on her, sue me. Her love for me and my sister is something that makes her a great mother. Not just to us, but to my friends and others who Esme considers as her own children. She was born to love passionately with her maternal instincts, always opening her heart so easily.

"So where are you taking her?" Esme asked excitedly. I let her come over to me as I told her of my plans for tomorrow. "Oh that is just perfect! She'll love it!"

"I hope so." I said. "I'm going to bed. Night mom." I went upstairs heading to my room. As soon as I closed the door, I flop onto my bed, still can't get over about tonight's events.

This is still unbelievable. I mean, how often do you see someone, a fan like me, ended up dating a celebrity like Bella? I don't know but I'm sure it's very slim and yet I boosted those chances there. Too bad, no one other than my family and possibly Charlie, if Bella told him, knows about us. I'm sure she'll tell her friends but mine, I'm not sure I should. There I go again keeping a secret but I think this time is different because our relationship is something big. The more people know about it, the more people are gonna talk, and since I live in the smallest city in the state, everyone will be talking nonstop than the country all together. Besides, I don't know how far my relationship with Bella will go, but I'm hoping for a long time.

I pulled out my phone and texted Bella.

Hey, Bella. Just wanna say again, that I had a great time with you. Have a great night. :) – Edward

Knowing Bella is still driving, I let it be as I changed out of my clothes and brushed my teeth. I came back from the bathroom and just came up to my bed when I saw that my phone just got a text message and I smiled at who it's from.

You made my night special. Thank you again, Edward. Have a good night. :) – Bella

I felt the butterflies in my stomach when I saw her heart emoji before I sat it down and got into bed and just laid there staring at the ceiling, reeling in the events that has happened.

I, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, star quarterback and future NFL player, am dating Bella Swan.

I smiled at that as I turned to my side before I closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep.

Saturday flew by when the time came for my official first date with Bella, and I have everything ready for tonight. I've made dinner reservations and made the arrangements for after. Bella said she was gonna meet up at my place with Charlie and Fluff since Charlie and my dad had gotten along so well. The same with her dog and my sister. Have to say, it was nice to see how they interact. Being polite, I asked Bella if her mother would like to come over, but Bella told me that Renee had some meetings she needs to attend for a photo shoot along with reprising her role as Maleficent in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil table read. Nothing personal to Bella's mother, but I think the shoe fits for Renee since she's a bitch, no offense. Whatever.

So here I am, in my room, wearing my black pants and navy-blue dress shirt as I put on my silver tie, after like twenty tries to get this thing on. I was gonna do my hair, but let it be since it has a mind of its own. I had just put on one sock when the doorbell rang where I heard Nessie squealed.

"Edward, they're here!" Esme called.

"Fuck!" I cried as I jumped out onto my feet only to have slipped and fell on my ass due to wearing only one sock. "Ow." I groaned.

"Edward, one dollar!" Nessie sang. God dammit. I thought as I got up slowly, groaning. I wasn't expecting Bella to be here already. Oh well, at least I'm ready. After I got the other sock on, and making sure I'm all set, with a hint of cologne, I left my room and went downstairs where I saw my parents at the doorsteps talking to Charlie with Nessie picking up Fluff. And then, I saw her.

The minute I saw her, I froze midway when I saw what she is wearing. Her dress was a dark silver color where the length met her knees and the straps were thin and her long brown hair had curls in the end. Just everything I see fits Bella perfectly; like pieces of a puzzle connected. I didn't know what to say… or how to react, except that my mouth was opened, then closed, then opened again.

I was able to gather my thoughts before speaking. "You… you look beautiful." I said to Bella when I arrived at the bottom of the stairs.

Bella bit her lips until she spoke. "You don't clean up too bad yourself." She smiled causing me to grin at her words.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yup." Bella grinned. "You sure you're okay staying here?" She asked Charlie.

"Don't worry about me, Bells." Charlie said. "Besides, I've been wanting to try out the media room and golf with Carlisle. My one time I get to do something in a way that is approved by Renee."

"Alright," Bella then got down, turning to Nessie. "You take care of Fluff. She needs to be played with a lot. Can I count on you?"

"I promise Bella!" Nessie said with Fluff in her arms as if she was giving an important job as she nodded her head.

"And you be a good dog." Bella said to Fluff as she rubbed her dog's head before she got up, putting her wig on (Bella wanted our date to be private, which I understand. We don't want people ruining our night if they recognized Bella in public) as we said goodbye to everyone and left. Once stepped outside, I took her hand and bent forward for a quick peck on her lips. And god, I miss kissing those lips, even if it had been only less than twenty-four hours ago.

"Missed me?" Bella teased.

"More than I'd care to admit." I said. After all, with me dating a celebrity, she's going to be busy with her music, acting, interviews and photo shoots that involves traveling and going to places, which means I wouldn't be there with her due to the fact I'm still in school, stuck in Forks since I'm not like Bella. Not now at least, but who knows where my future leads me to in the NFL. So until then, I'm going to make the most of it.

I led Bella to the passenger side of my car, opening it for her, making sure she was in and seated safely before shutting it. Hey, I'm that much of a gentleman. Don't judge me. Once I got into my seat, I started the engine.

The drive to where I'm about to take her was filled with nothing but my conversation with Bella as we talked about how our day has been while listening to music. I could listen to Bella talk all day. Who knew that having a conversation with celebrity wouldn't be so awkward. It's like how you have a daily conversation with your friends, even with people you hardly know. Just talk about things that would make you laugh or something that you two can agree on.

It was about half an hour later when we arrived at our destination.

"Whoa!" Bella exclaimed seeing the plaza with all the museums, games, centers and the Space Needle inside as I smiled. "Are we going up and look around or are we eating there?"

"You'll see. Time for us to have some fun." I said as we got out of the car. We enter the gift shop, hand in hand and walk towards where we check in for the elevator ride. A woman takes my name and leads us onto the elevator. We rise over the city to the top, and head for the hostess stand.

"Welcome to SkyCity, name?" she asks, as she gives me a smile, batting her eyes.

"Cullen, for two." I pulled Bella into my arms and kiss her cheek. The hostess pouted as she led us to a table. We sat down at a table next to the windows.

"What kind of drinks you'll be having?" The hostess asked, only looking at me. I looked across Bella.

"What would you like to drink, sweetheart?" I asked her.

"I think I'll have a coke." Bella replied.

I turned to the hostess. "We would like two cokes, and I am ready to order our food if my girlfriend is too."

"I am ready too," Bella said.

"Ladies first." I said.

"I'd like the RR Ranch Prime Beef Tenderloin, please." Bella said reading off her menu.

"How would you like that cooked?" The hostess asked as she wrote it down in her notepad, not even looking at Bella.

"Medium, please."

"And for you, sir?" The hostess looks at me with a smile.

"I'll have the RR Ranch Prime New York Strip, please. Medium as well." I said, as my eyes were only on Bella.

"I'll put in your orders and be back with your drinks." The hostess said as I turned to see she gave me a wink before she walked away. That's when I heard a noise and I turned to see where I was surprised at who was making that noise as I saw Bella glaring at the hostess.

"What?" Bella growled when she saw me staring at her.

"Did you just growled at the hostess?" I asked in amusement.

"No." Bella immediately answered.

"You sounded like it. Not to mentioned you looked like you wanted to run after her for undressing me with her eyes." I said.

Bella was silent. "Okay maybe I did."

"Bella, you should know I have no interest in her." I said.

"I know, it's just… it's hard for me to believe someone like me is with a guy like you. It's no wonder girls seem to throw themselves at you." Bella sighed, causing me to be surprised by this statement.

"You find it hard to believe? I'm the one who should find it hard to believe how I got to be your boyfriend." I said.

"Edward, you are the star quarterback of your school. And by the looks of it, you seem pretty popular. You must have dated a lot of girls." Bella said sadly as she looked down. Seeing this caused my heart to twist to see her having self doubt. I never thought I see this part of Bella.

"Well, honestly, I've only dated like four girls, but we never really… felt it, so I never had a girlfriend before. What about you?" I asked.

"Well I wouldn't call being someone's girlfriend on TV would count as dating. I… never really dated in real life." Bella said.

"Never?" I said in shock. No way. Bella Swan, America's princess, never had a boyfriend?! How?! What kind of idiot would be stupid enough to not ask her out? Not that I'm complaining about it, but this is Bella Swan we're talking about.

"No, there have been a number of boys who tried to ask me out, but I turned them down. I just didn't see them as more than a friend." Bella explained.

"I should be relieved then, to be your first boyfriend." I smiled causing her to do the same.

"Then I guess I should feel the same to be your official first girlfriend." She said as the hostess came back with our drinks. I didn't pay attention to what she was doing as I continue my conversation with Bella."

"So you never dated before in real life?" I asked as the hostess walked away.

"Like I said, I didn't see them as more. They weren't exactly my type." Bella shrugged as we took our drinks.

"And what is your type if I may asked?"

"Well, certainly not someone who's self-centered, narcissistic with a complex of Zeus." Bella said causing me to chuckle.

"I think you described Demetri." I said causing both of us to laugh. Bella then turned her head towards the window of this beautiful night.

"This is such a nice view." Bella said as she took out her phone. "Do you mind if I take pictures?"

"As long as I'm in them where we're close together on our first date." I smirked.

"Aw, you're such a sap, Edward." Bella smiled

"Yep. Is that OK?" I teased.

"Sounds fine to me." She said started taking pictures of the view from many different angles.

Just seeing her enjoying our night together is something. Bella is here in public and no one recognizes her. They just see her as they would see random people. No need to give out awkward hellos and such. I wonder how people would react to seeing Bella here. Would they treat her and myself differently? Would they give us the special treatment? I sure hope not. I don't wanna go over the top for Bella. Even if she has made more money than me, I wanna be the best boyfriend to her in my ability. Life isn't about fame or money. It's just part of life. How you do it, is how you make your own life.

I was pointing out to Bella of where she was taking a picture and explained to her of the spot when,

"Bella?" I jumped, as did Bella showing a panicked look on her face as I knew why when we turned to see it was some guy at our table. Not just any guy, a guy with dirty blonde hair with a square face shape and a body figure that looks muscular but lean as he was wearing jeans and leather jacket that rivals him to Justin Bieber, the same guy who fans treated like Justin Bieber, the guy who worked on the same show Bella and her friends star in, the guy who played Bella's love interest before he was kicked off due to harassing her,

Rider Daniels.

"Rider? I mean uh, who are you?" Bella stuttered. Wow, for an actress, Bella sucks at pretending even if it was sudden.

"What are you doing here, Bella?" Rider asked, being clueless as he came to our table closer.

"SHH!" Bella and I hissed as I looked around to be sure no one heard him call out Bella's name.

"Seriously, I don't know who you are!" Bella hissed as I saw her eyes moving as a way to tell Rider to get the hint.

"What are you talking about? And what up with the disguise?" Rider asked as he reached forward, to no doubt, for Bella's wig to take off. Oh for the love of god! I thought in annoyance when in an instant flash, I intercepted Rider's hand and yanked him down to sit next to me.

"Listen pal, in case you don't get it in that thick head of yours, we were telling you to be quiet because the reason why Isabella is in disguise is so that people won't recognized her so that they don't interrupt her date!" I hissed angrily at him when I let go of his hand.

"Date? With who?" Rider asked in confusion. Seriously?! He's dumber than I thought.

"You're looking at him." I said.

"And who the fuck are you?" Rider asked looking at me up and down that looks as if he's saying "Yeah right."

"Doesn't matter who the fuck I am!" I snapped. "I don't even give shit about who you are even if I know who you are by name." But Rider ignored me as he turned to Bella.

"Bella, if you really finally wanted to date me, all you had to do was asked me out instead of using this guy here to get my attention." Rider smiled. Are you fucking kidding me?!

"Rider, how many times do I have to say this? I do not have any feelings for you at all! Not even as a friend considering how you behaved, especially how you crashed my party." Bella said in annoyance.

"You invited me." Rider pointed out.

"No, Renee invited you. She thought I was talking about you which was why she put your name on the list." Bella said.

"You were talking about me?" Rider asked looking pleased to hear as I gave out a silent frustration while, thankfully Rider was too distracted on Bella, I held out my hands pretending to grab Rider's head squeezing it like a football before I can rip it off and throw it hard out the window.

"Of course not!" Bella said in frustration.

"Come on, why don't we talk more about me outside?" Rider smiled as he reached out for her hand, only to, once again, stopped by me.

"Are you ever gonna fucking listen? You're worse than one of my teammates who I do not like just as I don't like you!" I snapped as I pulled him out of where he was sitting.

"Bella, you can't be seriously be dating this guy, right? I mean, what's so great about him? Does your parents even know?" Rider asked her.

"What my parents know is none of your fucking business." Bella said got up and leaned a bit forward so that only Rider and I could listen when she said this, "And you better not mention about this to anyone, and that includes the paparazzi, because if you ruin my night, my father will not hesitate to make things worse to you than what happened at the party."

"What is going on here?" We turned to see a man coming over to us and judging by his uniform, he's the manager.

"This guy here was not only interrupting my date with my girlfriend, but had the nerve to harass her!" I said to them angrily. "I want him out of here!"

"Understood." The manager said as he called security and soon two more men came in and took my place of holding Rider.

"You can't do this to me! Do you even know who I am?" Rider said in disbelief.

"Yes, I know who you are, and I don't give a rat's farts if you're a celebrity or not! I won't let you treat my guests this way unless you want everyone to know about this!" The manager said to Rider angrily as security lifted Rider up and escorted him out of the building.

"You'll hear from my lawyers!" Rider yelled out.

"My deepest apologies, sir." The manager said when he came over to us.

"It's alright. No one got hurt and that's what matters." I said. "Mr. …."

"Barker."

"Mr. Barker, I don't know if that guy is serious, or he'll forget about it the next day, but if you need help protecting your restaurant, I can give you my uncle's number. He's a lawyer and a skilled defense attorney." I said.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Thank you. For that, dessert's on me. I will have something special made for you and your girlfriend." Mr. Barker said.

"Thank you." I said as Mr. Barker left allowing myself to sit down.

"I'm so sorry." We both said at the same time causing us both to laugh.

"Okay, you first; what are you sorry for?" I chuckled.

"I'm sorry about Rider interrupting our night and almost causing a scene. For god sakes, no means no! I swear that boy doesn't understand English." Bella said, shaking her head and then giggled. "Now what are you sorry for?"

I sighed. "I'm sorry for how our date was nearly ruined because of him. One more slip up, and soon everyone will be having a date with you." I said. After all, I didn't want our first date to go down so quickly. You know what they say about first impressions, one bad move and you're toast.

"Edward, you didn't do anything wrong. I appreciate for what you've done. Really, especially how you were looking out for me." Bella smiled as she took my hand.

"Bella, I feel as if I don't deserve you." I said. Just then, Bella lean in and pecked me on the lips.

"Try saying that again after that." Bella smirked.

"I forgot what I was gonna say." I chuckled.

"At least the manager was kind enough to not make a big deal out of Rider. Can you imagine how he would react seeing who I really am?" Bella asked.

"I don't have to, I know." I said causing us both to laugh.

A few minutes later, our food came. Throughout the hour, we eat, chat, and Bella takes pictures of the surrounding view. Once we were done, one of the waiters came and handed me the bill, thus making me pull out my credit card. Bella offered to pay, but I didn't let her, even if it's half of it. Despite that I don't have as much money as Bella, it would be rude of me to let her pay for it.

After the bill was paid, I take Bella's hand and help her out of her seat, then head back for the elevator. On the way, we saw a family talking to the hostess. There, a little girl wearing a purple and white dress with a blue ribbon in her hair was holding a stuff rabbit. Bella stepped away from me and got down on the little girl's level when she came over to her.

"Hi, what's your name?" Bella asked.

"Eva." The little girl said, shyly.

"And who's this?" Bella asked, pointing at Eva's rabbit.

"Bun-Bun." Eva answered as her parents watched them, smiling.

"Well, I think Bun-Bun looks very cute with this bow on." Bella smiled as she examines the gold bow on the stuff rabbit. "You have a good eye."

"Thank you." Eva smiled as the hostess called her family over that their table is ready. I just couldn't help but be amazed at Bella for how she interacted with the little girl. It makes me love her even more.

"It was very nice to meet you." Bella said and got up coming over to me and took my hand as we walked into the elevator.

"Bella, do you have any idea how amazing you are?" I said when the elevator closed.

"The little girl was so adorable. I just couldn't resist. Like how I was with your sister." Bella sighed happily.

"And my sister loves you a lot." I smiled causing Bella to blush.

"Thank you, Edward." Bella said as we walked out of the elevator.

"For what?" I asked.

"For the most perfect first date, ever," She whispers.

"It's not over yet." I whispered back as I pulled her close to me and walked with me passed the parking lot. She snuggles back into my chest and sighs at the contact.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"To the most beautiful place for our night." I said as I led her to Kerry Franklin Park.

"Wow." Bella said, admiring the colorful lights that are decorated on the trees, filled with blue, green and white lights, along with the beautiful walkway leading the big fountain in the middle where the lanterns are lit. "This is beautiful."

"You're beautiful." I said causing Bella to blush.

We continue our stroll in the park as Bella explores the scenery while taking pictures. We ask people we come across to take our picture every place we go, and I'll tell you, every single one was perfect.

"This place is amazing." Bella said in awe.

"That's not even the best part." I said as I led her to another pathway and five minutes later, we arrived at a gazebo where only big white lights were hung around it.

"Edward," Bella said as we stepped in and she step away from me to look around. "I don't know what to say."

I placed my phone down on the ledge as I played one of my songs I played on the piano. Bella turned around to see me offering my hand. "Dance with me." I said.

"I… I-I-I… I don't… know how to… dance." Bella said shyly.

"You danced with someone in Rainbow Garden." I said with a raised eyebrow. "And you danced for your music videos and concerts."

"That's different; I rehearsed to know how to dance with someone. Dancing with someone out of the blue, I don't know what to do, worry that I might… step on your toes." Bella said nervously.

I chuckled. "My toes are pretty much made of steel. So I wouldn't worry about that. Besides, you don't need to practice, just… let loose." I smiled.

Bella gave me a small one as she slowly came forward and took my hand as I slowly put my other hand on her waist. She then placed her other hand on my shoulder. Without even knowing what we're doing, Bella and I danced to the music as we looked into each other's eyes. She started to blush and looked down. Letting go of her waist, I lifted her chin to look at me.

"Don't be nervous. You're doing just fine." I said softly as we continue slow dancing to the dong. "See, no problem."

"I guess I have a good teacher." Bella giggled. As the next song played, I spun Bella slowly like a top which she responded really well, despite that she was surprised by it judging from her gasp. "A little warning would be helpful though." She said causing me to smirk. She shook her head as she chuckled.

"Edward, this has truly been the best night of my life." Bella said and then paused before she said. "Next to last night that is."

I smiled at the fact. "I would have to agree, Bella." I said. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm happy to be with you, here, on this beautiful night. So, thank you, for being here with me."

Next thing I know was that my lips met hers while we were still dancing, feeling that familiar sensation when I first kissed her. When we pulled her back, I stared into her beautiful brown eyes.

I think I covered this, but this time, it's official. I am falling for Bella. Faster, and deeper than I could possibly imagine.

Hey guys, I hope the wait was worth to see the date Edward and Bella had. And I hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe. This year has been crazy for us all and I hope things will be better in the future but until then, I will entertain you all with my stories. Hopefully not a long delay like this. Thank you.

Also, I have put up a new poll for you guys to vote what story I should write next with these new ideas that popped into my head. The poll is in my bio. And also, I have been thinking about opening up an Instagram account for my Fanfiction so that you guys can be up to date on when I will update and such. Plus showing you all of some images from my After Breaking Dawn Saga. What do you think? Speaking of After Breaking Dawn Saga, I know what I will do to show my appreciation to you all for your support of my five-year anniversary of writing. Stay tune. Please review.
