I looked up to see him blushing, too.

“Oh, well, um, I think about that, too, some-sometimes.” he said trying to avert eye contact.

He seemed to be trying to slow his breathing. I took hold of his hand and pulled his chin to face me.

“We both aren't ready for that…yet. But when we are, we'll know.” I said seriously, then smiled at him.
He nodded, “But do you think, maybe, we could test what we are ready for? Push some boundaries?”
“Testing seems good to me.” I said blushing and smiling down at our intertwined hands.
“Just remember, if you don't like something, tell me, and I'll stop immediately.” he said looking at me with his smoldering emeralds.

I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder, as he called for the waiter.

He ordered us some drinks just as the lights went out for the opening act, The Like.

The songs they played were upbeat and fun despite their somewhat gloomy lyrics. I asked Edward if we could buy their CD during the intermission. He grinned at me, but I just felt confused. Did I miss something?

“I already got the CD. I knew you'd like them. It's waiting to be picked up out there.” he said close to my ear.

I shivered. Oh, he knew me so well.

After they played about six or seven songs, it was six o'clock which meant it was time for the two-hour intermission. One hour was set aside for people to buy merchandise and meet the band, the other hour was set aside for dinner.

We walked into the main room, hand-in-hand, over to a small table with a bodyguard holding a clipboard and some type of list.

“Cullen.” Edward said to the man.

He looked up with a grin and pulled open a door behind him. The door led to a hallway of dressing rooms.

The names “The Like,” and “Muse” were found printed and taped to two of the doors. The bodyguard knocked on the door to “The Like” and called to them “Your guests are here.”

The door opened and the three pretty girls from the stage stood smiling at the door.
