Bella's POV.

I smacked the alarm clock off of the desk next to my bed and it fell to the ground with a loud thump. I got out of my bed, and got ready for work.

I got in my truck at 6:45 AM.

My car wouldn't start at first.

"If I'm late for work, I'm going to be very upset." I muttered to myself. The car finally started after 3 more tries.

I walked into Barnes & Noble- Where I work- and put on my apron.

"Hey, Bella." Mary greeted me in her squeaky voice.

"Hi," I paused as this old weird creepy guy, who comes to see Mary everyday at work, caught my eye. "Your admirer is here again, I see." I pointed out.

She hesitated. "Yeah." She said as a gorgeous guy walked our way. "Here comes yours." She said as she went to the register next to mine; to eavesdrop.

"Hello...Bella." He said looking at m name tag, Then up to my face.

"Hi, can I help you?" I asked.

"Well, I was wondering where the poetry section was." He smiled a crooked smile, and I was gazing at him like I was retarded. He chuckled, noticing me staring at him. I came back to earth , redder in the face than ever.

"Poetry section?" He repeated.

I blinked. "Right. Poetry. I pointed to the corner where William Shakespeare's Head was big to fit on a poster. "Right over there."

He winked at me. "Thanks, Bella." I smiled blushing again.

Mary came back over to me as he left.

"Who was that?" She said. "And how does he know your name?"

"I have no idea who that was." I said as I turned to face her."...I have a name tag." I pointed out the obvious. She nodded.

"By the way, why does mine say' Marilyn' and your name tag says 'Bella'?" We discussed this name tag issue for at least forty-five minutes.

Finally it was time for our break. I got a coffee with Mary, then we both sat down in the 'Sit down' area. She started the conversation today.

"How's Charlie doing?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Fine, I guess. Since Billy died, Jacob and I hang out a lot more than we used too. He's really upset. Jacob practically lives with Charlie and I; He sleeps over almost every night. He's lonely in that house. I feel bad for him."

"He is really hot, though. I'd let him sleep at my house any time." I looked at her.

"Its not like that. Jacob isn't looking for anybody. Neither am I." I said.

She turned her head to the poetry section. "Even him?" She asked, pointing at him. He was turned away from us.

I sighed. "Even him."

I could not stop looking at him. Mary noticed, too.

"I think you are looking for someone. Someone like him." She paused to stare at him with me. She smiled, as she got out of her chair. "Im going to go find out 'Mr. Perfects' name , Alright?" She didn't wait for my answer, and she walked over to him.

I reached after her falling to the ground. People were watching me as I got up. I smiled embarrassed. Then I ran to the book shelf next to them to eavesdrop just like she did to me. I pretended to put books on the shelf even though their was no room.

"Hi, I'm Mary." She said as she shot a look at me through the book shelf.

"Edward." He said as he shook her hand.

"So, Edward. Bella's pretty, huh?" She said as she was looking through the books. What was she doing? 'Bella's pretty' I thought to myself.

He turned to my bookshelf smiling. Smiling at what? Oh. Crap. He's smiling at me. I ducked down quick, bringing some books on the shelf with me. He didn't turn away from the shelf.

"Bella's very pretty." He said smiling a crooked smile.

He turned away, and I got up. His cell phone beeped once. He didn't even look at it. He just said,

"I have to go. " He paused to look at my shelf again-smiling."Tell Bella I said I'll see her again, I hope." He said calmly as he walked outside.

"Interesting." Mary mumbled to herself.

"Alright. So his name is Edward. Very formal, I like it."I smiled.

We had the rest of our break, then went back to work. Edward didn't come back to B&N for the rest of the day.

The drive home felt long. I kept thinking about Edward.

"I'll see her again, I hope." I repeated Edward's words to myself.

"See who again?" Jacob said, making me jump three feet off my seat. I put my hand over my chest to stop my heart from falling out. I tried to catch my breath. What was he doing hiding in my back seat?

"Why are you in my back seat?" I asked calming down. Good thing nobody else was driving by me on the road. Oh. My. God. I repeated over and over again in my head.

"I was bored all day. When you take a break come out to your truck. And leave your windows down; It get's really hot in here."He said. He was in here all day?

"Why didn't you just come in?" I asked. "You could of read a book. Had some coffee...Witness a beautiful guy approach me." I added on in the end quietly.

He had a confused look. "A Beautiful guy approached you?" She snorted. "You have a beautiful guy approaching you all the time! Me."

I snorted. "Your right. You are beautiful." I teased. He flashed a cheek-to-cheek smile, as he climbed over everything in my car to get to the front seat to blast the radio. I just got a new car- a massive Hummer- And Jacob's taking advantage of it.

"You know what, I like this beast of a truck you have...Can I drive?" He asked suddenly.

"No way. You crashed my last car. You think im going to let you damage my new one? Your crazy!"

"What? You needed a new car. And Charlies got like a trillion dollars! Famous doctors make that much in one week!"He said.

I nodded my head. "I understand." I don't really care what he says. He crashed my new Porsche. That was an awesome car!

"So. I cant drive it?" He paused to turn the music down."Ever? Your best friend's Father just died...and you cant show a little sympathy?"

"That's real low, Jake."I said smiling. He was doing a puppy face. I sighed and pulled over.I did feel bad about what Jacob's gone through in the past month.

His eyes widened. He smirked. "Really? You trust me?" He paused to cover his mouth."Oh. My. God! Yes!." He got out real quick and so did I and we met up in the front of the car. I was taunting him with the keys in my hand -swinging them back and fourth.

"Rules:" He sighed.

"One- You follow any command I say." He nodded.

"Two-You follow the speed limit." He nodded again.

"And- You don't go Off-Road!" He laughed then nodded.

"The Porsche did great off-road, though." He said remembering how he destroyed my car. I fake laughed.

He swiped the keys out of my hands. Then padded my head.
