My fairytale in New York

Bella a single Mom to Tyler, Tyler is 4 and Bella's just left her marriage. She's lived in New York all her life.

"Tyler it's time to get up come on, school" I soothed his back as he continued to fidget.

"I'm not going to ask again, come on up you have school and I have work" I pulled back the bed sheet and Tyler's eyes shot open giving me evils.

"Hey enough of that" I said as I walked back out into my bedroom. After half an hour of moaning, crying and a tantrum or two we were in the car. New York Traffic seemed to catch up with me halfway down 565 fifth avenue. Great.

"Mom we're going to be late" Tyler moaned, I could see his facial expression which I had to fight back a giggle.

"Urrm, who was last up?" I fought back half serious half playing. I saw his face change from a smirk into a grin.

"Not me!" He shouted, nearly causing me to let go of the wheel and cover my ears.

"Hey I'm driving" I said as I pulled into the car lot.

"Grab your bag please" I said as I unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Tommy!" Tyler yelled as he ran across the playground. By mom. I walked over to Tyler and Tommy and handed Tyler his backpack.

"You might need this son, Pick you up at 3:30 okay?" I said and bent town to kiss his forehead.

"Be good"

"Bye mommy" Tyler said as he entered his class room with Tommy. I jumped back into the car and sped off out of the car lot, the traffic had calmed down a bit so it would be easier to get to work this morning. The car lot at work was full as usual, I spent about 10 minutes trying to find a car slot, Fucking hell! I was behind a complete dumbass that couldn't work out how to turn his wheel all the way around. I pressed the horn loudly causing the bloke to send me the finger. I sped off after he grasped the turning the wheel fully motion and harshly skidded into a tight parking space. If my Land Rover got scratched there would be trouble. I picked up my bag and hurried off towards the big glass building. I walked into the crowded office and found my desk.

"Hi My Names Edward Cullen and I'm your new manager/boss best friend" He winked at Tanya who blew him a kiss back. Wo am I missing something?

Alice my best friend since I don't know when, was giving me the eye rolling and I just couldn't help the giggle that escaped.

"Excuse me can I help you ladies" the new boss said has he wavered through the desks.

"Uh no sorry do carry on" I said tartly.

"As I was saying I'm your new manager, and things will be changing Jane's regimes, rules and ways of working are no good me, you or the business so all important members and staff will be attending the 11:00 oclock meeting today to discuss future plans to set in stone, I look forward to working with you and getting to know you all, working and providing an exceptional business like view" He waved and walked into his office closing the door behind him. Up your own arse much? I thought.

"Who pushed his button?" Alice said rolling her chair over to my desk. I giggled and pulled out my iPhone placing it on the table.

"I have no idea, and if he keeps acting that way we will not get on, I'm sure you want to see a good cat-fight don't cha Alice?" I giggled.

"Hell Yea, with Tanya all the more better" I grinned at Alice's remark. Tanya the office bitch thought she was god's gift like everyone should be bowing down to her. Sorry but no.

"How was your weekend then, any urrm details with Jasper" I smirked and soon enough Alice was on the same page.

"Well he took me to this really romantic restaurant, brought me jewellery" Alice said lifting her hair behind her ears.

"So he pushed the boat out then?" I smiled.

"Yup sure did, we didn't get to the marriage part yet though, I'm still working on that bit" Alice giggled her cheeks flushed.

"Well I'm pretty sure if he keeps up what he's doing you will be walking down the aisle in no time" Alice had the biggest grin on her face. A few things you should know about her, first ever need to shop she's your girl, second, know where there's going to be a bitch fight she'll have your back and be holding your earrings third she's one of the best people you will ever meet.

"So do you think Mr Hot pants will be in your 'pants' any-time soon?" Alice said pointing to Mr Cullen's office.

"I'm pretty sure Tanya has him covered, Hey they've probably met, done it got the condom packet!" I exclaimed. Alice fell into a fit of giggles, thing with Alice was she didn't need Red bull for energy it was already built into her system.

Alice wheeled back to her desk and began typing. Great an 11oclock meeting just what I needed and what's more I'm sure Tanya would be up Edward's arse, 'literally'. I carried on typing up my report, luckily Tanya didn't have an office because if she did There would have been a fight out in that car lot along time ago. We were practically head to head in the same boat competing to be deputy manager to Jane who is now Edward. So I could either play nice and hope that pushes me into his good books or lick his arse like Tanya has done so. I decided to try and be nice first off.

"If you could come into the conference room" Edward said to the whole office, but we knew who he meant. I stalked off and entered before Tanya. I sat in the chair nearest to the head table, knowing It would spike Tanya. I grinned and let my hair fall around my face as I did it. Edward stood at the front of the room near a SMART board.

"Right first off, nice to finally have a meeting set in place looks as thought the last one was about 5 months ago which is completely pathetic what was that woman doing I will never know, but now I'm here we will have a meeting every other Monday morning no excuses". Wow what a dick.

"Now the corporation hasn't bee doing bad, but it isn't exactly high either and This is what I want to focus on, we need everyone on game doing there jobs meeting deadlines and always paying attention we have a business to provide and our customers are the critics here" The meeting went on for roughly 2 hours I managed to stay alive and awake thank god for the espresso.

"Right so that's settled then, we'll focus purely on our own tasks, the competition is high and we have about 3 other big well know offices in our league so stick to it, any questions?" He asked was I the only one who found his attitude appealing and sensual. Snap out of it Swan! . We all shook our heads.

"Right then, that is all" We all piled out of the conference room except Tanya. Shit she was in first.

I walked over to Alice who was typing so much I was surprised there was no smoke escaping the keyboard.

"Hey" She smiled and pointed to my computer. Email. I waited for my inbox to update.

I have no idea, I don't think talking over Email though is the smartest

thing we'll have lunch at Little Italy's :)

I carried on with my work until 1 oclock. Alice walked over and nudged me.

"Ready? I'm starving" Alice said impatiently.

"Sure am let's go"I picked up my bag and followed Alice. We sat down at a t able for two, the soft music flowing through the room freely. We ordered two panini's a two cherry Coke's although I could have murdered a cocktail or something along the lines of Alcohol.

"So how was the meeting" Alice said as she sipped at her coke.

"Well Tanya was there so that was one reason why it was shit, another was Edward seems to think all these plans are going to work just because he says so, he wants everyone on game doing there jobs meeting deadlines and always paying attention" I quoted Edward.

"Ahh Sounds like... fun" Alice said her expression disgusted.

"I don't know who the hell she thinks she is but I will win that position as deputy manager, what does Tanya do but sit and file her nails for crying out loud!" Alice exclaimed banging the table. Luckily we were on late lunch so not many people were in the cafe.

"Calm down Alice" I joked.

"Gah I'm sorry she just get's on my fricken nerves" I sympathised with Alice I really did.

"Agreed"

We had a very talkative lunch, then started making out way back to the office.

"Your late ladies" Edward was stood by the coffee machine tapping at his watch.

"Well you know girls they will gossip Mr Cullen" Alice said stifling a laugh.

"Oh anything in particular?" Edward smirked looking straight at me.

"Nope nothing to worry your pretty little head about Cullen" I said and we made our way to our desks. I wasn't here long before I had to go, looks as though Tanya never came back from lunch, skinny little rat.

"I'm off now Edward, Back in tomorrow" I nodded.

"Okay, Goodbye Bella" Edward said and waved as I was out.

"Alice you coming over tonight so we can go to the gym or we can do it tomorrow?" I shrugged.

"Lemme just check" She pulled out her iPhone and checked her calendar.

"Tomorrow's great" I smiled.

"Tomorrow's biatch"I waved and made my way down stairs. I made it to Tyler's school just in time

"Hey sweetheart" I said as he ran up to me and cuddled my waste.

"Mommy, look at my picture that I painted for you" He said shaking the paper in my view.

"N'aw it's so good, I think this one deserves a place on the fridge what'd ya think?" I said picking Tyler up and walking to the car.

"Yes Yes Yes!" I sped home through the quiet roads of New York, best thing about living here your whole life.

When we set foot through the door Tyler was sat on the breakfast bar demanding food and snacks.

"Right you have a choice, pop tarts, crackers or some fruit?" I knew his answer .. pop tarts all the way.

"POP TARTS!" this kid didn't need any sugar what the hell was I thinking giving him pop tarts?. I smiled.

"Pop tarts it is" I prepared them and set them down in front of Tyler. I sat with Tyler while he completed his homework, and then we had a change of clothes. I loved Tyler with everything I owned, he was my life, my biggest reason, but I couldn't sit down with him and have a conversation. The evening went pretty much like every other evening, bath, story time and bed, and then replay the day again tomorrow, except I would see Tyler at 5 - he was with his dad Jacob, my ex husband , he was like my god when I first met, we were childhood friends, but he became controlling, ignorant and violent, as soon as he learned I was pregnant he blamed everything on me, I divorced him before the month was up. Nice story I reckon.

"Tyler it's bed time, I've read you a story and I said I'd lay here until you fell asleep" I said as I tucked him in and turned his bedside lamp on. I stroked his soft hair that fell onto his forehead, his eyes kept closed but he was fighting it. I carried on and about half an hour later he was conked out. I padded out of the room and into my own. I was too tired to check my Facebook so I set my alarm clock and fell into a deep sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. The next day followed an exact repeat I dropped Tyler off at school luckily he hadn't played up this morning it's just going to be one of them days I could feel it. I arrived at the office, and found out that the prick yesterday who couldn't drive.. was in-fact Edward, let's hope he didn't see my face. I took my seat at the desk and carried on with my report from yesterday. Alice didn't start until 10:00 so I was covering her phone. I sipped on my Red Bull, on days like this I lived for the stuff. Edward was sat in his office slamming the keys on the keyboard, he sounded stressed. Oh well his business his shit. Alice arrived with too coffee's from Starbucks. Lifesaver!

"Morning sleepy head" Alice said putting the coffee down my table with some force.

"Hey" I said my voice hoarse from where I hadn't spoken.

"So I can do the gym tonight at about 8:00 how's that?" Alice asked bobbing up and down on her chair.

"Yeah that's.. that's fine Jacob's got Tyler so that's helpful, I just feel like I need to clean my body and refresh!" I felt like screaming it but I didn't.

"I see Tanya's tarted herself up for the boss, she's probably had him on that desk.. in the toilet's heck she's probably done it on his car bonnet!" Alice said in a hushed tone.

"Wow so not using the toilet's again" I joked.

"Hey Alice, I don't think I'm gunna have this report finished until about seven so, I'll just grab a bite to eat and meet you at the gym" Alice nodded and wondered over to her desk. She snooped around and looked in her draws, one of her many rituals. Alice hated people looking through her draws and I can guarantee if you don't get here early you would lose the contents of your draw.

"Bella could you come to my office" Edward said standing to the left of his office.

"Of course" if Looks could kill I would be dead, Tanya looked bitter, and angry and almost evil.

"Hi Bella" Edward said.

"Hello" I waved.

"Okay so I have a very important business meeting tonight and I'll need you to stay till about 7:00 would that be okay?"

"Oh sure that's fine, I was planning staying late anyway to finish my report" I nodded.

"Lifesaver" I finished the conversation and walked back out onto the main floor.

A couple of hours later Alice started packing up her bag, it was 6 and I think I must have looked like the dead. I yawned and carried on sipping at my espresso. I typed away until Alice tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey 7:00 no later, the Gym okay and make sure you eat something hon" Alice said waving to me as she walked down to the elevator. I tapped furiously at the keyboard, no matter how hard I tried my report didn't seem to be getting any longer. At half six I walked over to the coffee machine for what would be my 4th coffee in the space of 3 hours. Shocking I'd probably be on some mental high when I went to bed. I walked back and noticed Edward's office light was flickering, I put my hot coffee down on my desk and grabbed my iPhone. I peeped around the corner but it I didn't really see what I expected.

There it is like it or loave it, review if you love
