The bill finally showed up and I went to grab my wallet from my purse. Before I could even look at the total, he had gotten out a credit card and handed it back to the waitress. I regretfully put my wallet back in my purse. He got the bill back, signed and then we were headed back to his car. He opened the door for me, yet again, and I slid inside. He got in his side, started the car, and this time, Muse filled the car, with their song, Starlight. “They're my favorite band,” he said smiling. “I like them, too,” I said, mirroring his smile. We made the rest of the trip back to the bookstore silently, as we raced through downtown Seattle in his shiny Volvo.

We pulled up to the bookstore in no time, unfortunately and it was time to say goodbye. He got out, grabbed the flowers that had stayed in a vase in the cub holder and was at my door. He helped me out and handed me the flowers once more. “I'm so sad to say goodbye, so instead I'll say, I'll see you later, in two weeks when school starts if not sooner,” he said smiling. “Sooner, sounds better, but we'll see how things work out,” I said grinning sheepishly.

Instinctively I started to lean in, my eyes slowly shutting, he leaned in, too, but being the gentleman he was, he leaned to the side of my face, kissed my cheek and whispered, “Not tonight,” tickling my ear and making my body want him even more. I blushed and my cheek felt it was on fire where his lips had touched. Sadly, I nodded my head and walked to Alice's car. I got in and shut the door, watching him walk around to the driver's side. He didn't stop looking at me until he got into his car. I couldn't see through the dark tint of his car to see if he was still looking so I turned on the car and drove home with a huge smile on my face, thinking only of Edward.

I pulled up to the house fifteen minutes later and before I could even put my key in the lock, Alice had yanked the door open and was launching questions about my date at a million miles an hour. I just blushed and made my way inside, not without tripping over the door jamb, of course. Curse my clumsiness.

I put the flowers on my desk in my room and walked over to the front room. I sat on the couch and I filled her in on all the details of my wonderful date. She clapped and jumped up and down at the end screaming something about “My little girl is all grown up,” but I had drowned her out and was replaying the date over and over, especially the part where he kissed my cheek. She got up and went to her room, pleased that she had helped make my date a success.

I walked back to my room and prepared for bed. I looked at the clock that read 11:45 p.m. I hadn't realized how long we had been at the restaurant or how long I'd spent talking to Alice. I slid into a turquoise blue baby-doll nightie (picture in fanfiction profile). that Alice and I had picked up at Victoria's secret, thinking about what Edward's comment earlier about me being in blue and wondered what he would think of it on me.

I slid into bed and imagined how it would feel to have Edward lying beside me, the electricity coursing through my veins at every touch, every embrace, the heat from every kiss. I smiled to myself and was about to fall asleep, until I saw a shadow outside my blind-covered window. The moonlight was shining directly on someone standing outside my window. They hesitated, and then moved out of view. I was scared, but I knew that if anyone did try to break in, Emmett would be the first to attack and the home security company would call immediately.

I tried to fall asleep.

A/N:Well, there you have it. It's a little later than I was hoping for, but it's 9 pages long on word, so you guys forgive me right? I try to make them long so the wait is more worth it. I love seeing all you amazing reviewers and hope you enjoyed the chapter. Wonder who's hiding in the shadows? Anyways, sorry if I kinda suck at the whole sexual tension thing.
