When Dawn Breaks Chapter 19

"You look incredible darling." Rosalie told Bella as she made her way down the stairs of the Cullen house after getting ready for their date with Alice. Bella was dressed in high waisted crimson slacks, a black turtle neck sweater and black heels. Her hair was done up in a tight bun. After kissing Bella on the cheek,Rosalie elbowed Jasper who was standing next to her when Alice walked down the stairs right after Bella.

"Oooof." Jasper grunted. "You look beautiful Alice. I got these for you."

Alice took the bouquet of roses and smiled brightly. "Thank you Jazz."

"What no flowers for me?" Bella asked Rosalie.

"No flowers for you my love. I'm sorry." Rosalie apologized "If I got you flowers the kittens might try to eat them and I don't want them to get sick."

Bella slipped her arms through the sleeves of her pea coat that Rosalie was holding out for her. "You are lucky I find it cute that you worry about the kittens or I would be insulted not receiving flowers when Alice got some."

"Come on guys lets get going." Alice said as she put her light blue gloves on. She was dressed in a pink dress that came to mid thigh, with a light blue belt that matched the color of her jacket, pill hat and gloves. She grabbed Jasper's hand and pulled him out the door before he got a chance to put his coat on over his classic black suit.

Bella chuckled as they followed after them to Rosalie's car. "We're taking the Studebaker?"

"Why do you not want to?" Rosalie asked as she fixed her leather jacket. She was dressed in black slacks, a blue button up shirt that stretched over her chest, a black tie and black heels.

Bella shook her head. "No just surprised."

"Well since this is an official date and we all dressed up I thought we would go in style." Rosalie said as she held the door open for Bella to slide in the passenger side.

Alice bounced in the back seat causing Rosalie to glare at her in the rear view mirror. "If you break my car I will kill you."

"I'm sorry I'm just excited. This is my first surprise date ever. It's monumental Rosalie. Do you understand how amazing this is?" Alice asked. "In over 100 yrs I have never been on a date that I didn't know how the whole evening was going to play out."

Rosalie's glare morphed into a small smile. "I know Alice and I'm just as excited for you, but can we refrain from breaking my car."

"Can I at least know where we are going?" Alice asked.

"That's up to Jasper." Rosalie said.

Jasper cleared his throat uncomfortable with attention now on him. "We are starting in Port Angeles."

"Starting?" Alice asked." Does this mean we are doing more than just going to a restaurant?"

Jasper smiled at his wife's enthusiasm."Yes, we are doing more than getting dinner but you are going to have to wait until we get there to find out exactly what."

Alice huffed but didn't push the subject. She may be impatient to know what was going on but more than a small part of her was happy with the mystery. It was a new feeling and normally she would be nervous not knowing what was going to happen but the fact that she was with Jasper, Rosalie and Bella she knew they could take care of anything that came their way. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. It would be a perfect evening she knew it. Jasper had already started it with flowers so it would only get better from here.

The rest of the ride Alice held back any questions of where they were going until Rosalie pulled into the parking lot for Port Angeles Whale Watch."We're going whale watching?"

"Yes, Jasper booked a private tour for us" Rosalie told her as they got out of the car.

Jasper gave Rosalie a grateful look when Alice flung her arms around Jasper's neck and hugged him. They both knew it was actually Rosalie that planned the date and made the reservations but he was happy to take the credit."This is incredible! I've never been whale watching before."

"Neither have I." Bella said. "What a wonderful idea Jasper."

A man in a captain's uniform met them at the docks. He held out his hand for Jasper. "Mr. Whitlock I presume."

Jasper shook the man's hand with his own gloved one. "Yes, and this is my wife Alice and our friends Rosalie and Bella."

"I'm Dean and I'll be the captain of the boat today. We have about an hour and a half left of daylight before we have to come back but I've already had some sightings today so I'm sure we will see some whales out there." The group followed Dean onto the boat where they noticed other people in uniform walking around. "Those are my crew members. It's a small boat but it takes more than me to run it. So why don't you go out to the front deck and we will set off."

Rosalie held her hand out to help Bella step onto the boat."Have you ever gone boating before?"

"When I was younger I went on a friend of my grandparent's yacht." Bella told her as they made their way to the front of the boat. "I was to young to really appreciate it. I think I would like to try sailing. How about you?"

"No the only ships I've been on are ferries." Rosalie told her."I never really had the interest or opportunity to try out my sea legs but sailing could be fun."

Bella looked over to Jasper and Alice who were standing on the other side of the boat. Alice looked excited and Jasper looked awkward standing with his hands in his pockets. "Go over there and give poor Jasper some pointers. He looks miserable."

Rosalie looked over at him and chuckled. "Who would have thought that I would be the Casanova in this family?"

Bella gave her a soft shove. "You wish you were Casanova. Now go save your brother."

Bella watched as Rosalie walked over to Jasper and whispered in his ear. As Rosalie turned and walked away, Bella saw him take a deep breath, stand up straighter and encircled his arms around Alice's back as she held the railing of the boat looking for whales. Bella was relieved when Alice's face lit up in a brilliant smile and she leaned back into Jasper. Even Jasper looked happy with the results.

"That was a smooth move you taught him." Bella told Rosalie. "Did you learn that from a book or a movie?"

Rosalie smirked as she put her arms around Bella and leaned against Bella's chest. "Why would I need to learn it from somewhere, how do you know I didn't invent the move myself?"

Bella pulled back and raised an eyebrow."Oh really and who did you first try that move on?"

"Wellll." Rosalie drawled. "I may not have used it on anyone but as you have seen many poor souls come to me for inspiration on how to whoo women and that just happens to be one of the things I cover in the course."

Bella laughed. "I want to say you are lying but in the time I have known you many have come to you for help in the romance department."

Rosalie turned in Bella's arms and looked over the railing. "Just because I don't have experience with romantic relationships doesn't mean I haven't had dreams of the things I wanted to do with my mate."

"Oh yeah,what type of things?" Bella asked. "Or can you not tell me in public?"

Rosalie swatted Bella's hand that was holding her around the middle. "Don't be perverted. We are on a double date Bella."

"You're right we are on a double date and we are supposed to be looking for whales. I will try to keep my thoughts clean and my hands in respectable places." Bella promised.

Bella squirmed away from Rosalie when she felt Rosalie's hand under her shirt. Giving Rosalie a questioning look Rosalie said with a smirk. "I didn't make you any promises."

Bella sighed as she pulled Rosalie close to her body."It's going to be a long night."
