Bella Swan works as a secretary for a big time label company. She meets one of their clients, Edward Masen, and begins to fall for him. What will happen? Is it just a crush, or is it more? All human, cannon couples. :]]
I reached down into my pocket, pulling out the piece of paper that I have already memorized. Edward Masen Appt. 49 Cedar St. I didn't live in this town, so when my boss wrote this address down I had suspected that I would have to call him up to ask the name of the apartment complex, he was never very good at writing details down. But when I got to the street, getting out of my car I saw that there was no need. It was the only apartment complex on the whole street. The apartments looked nice, clean and modern. I cursed my job. I was a secretary, who did more things than a secretary was supposed to do. Like drive two hundred miles just to personally tell one of our clients that he had an appointment next week.
My boss specialized in music labels. I usually went to gigs with teens talking about their hearts being ripped apart, and how they bled on the inside and the outside. But this guy, Edward, he was a pianist, with a voice that made girls scream. He was already famous, but refused to move to an actual city and lived in a tiny town called Forks. My dad worked here when I was young, but I rarely visited. My mom left, taking me with her to Phoenix. I found myself moving north, and ended up in Seattle, Washington. Which was the last place I ever thought I would be.
I looked down at my paper once more, before making sure I was at the right door. The door was a gray color, with the numbers 49 in metal painted gold placed on the door. I felt my palms sweat, thinking about how I was not paid enough for this, before knocking on the door. I wasn't a people person, and I didn't really understand the hype about Edward Masen. The door opened, revealing a man a few years older than me without his shirt on, showing off his muscles.
"Yes?" His velvet voice asked, not at all nervous about being half naked.
"I'm Bella Swan, Mr. Deveraux's secretary." I smiled, sticking out my hand. He took it, wrapping his warm hand around mine as he shook it.
"Edward." He answered simply. I looked down at the gray carpeting after he let go. "What can I help you with?" I pulled my eyes up to his, looking in his deep green eyes.
"Mr. Deveraux wants me to inform you that you have an appointment next week on Monday for two o'clock." This wasn't my first time going to the clients personally to tell them of their appointment. I had practice. Most of them were rude, and spoiled.
"You came here all the way for that?" That was what most of them said.
"Mr. Deveraux likes to treat his favorite clients special." I couldn't help my voice from being bored.
"He could've called." He mumbled.
"Don't I know it." I said, before I could think. I slapped my hand over my mouth, blushing deeply. "I'm sorry that was rude." I said through my hand. Edward smirked, and began to chuckle.
"I take it you don't like your boss." He said, making my blush deeper.
"I love working for my boss." I did, he was nice enough.
"I'm sure." Edward gave a crooked smile, making my heart jump.
"Would you like me to speak to your agent, so he can remind you of this appointment?" Boring.
"Okay." That's what most of the musicians did too. They were to busy to remember their own appointments.
"Can I have the name?" Edward was a private man, even I didn't know his agent.
"Don't you want to write it down?" He asked.
"Good memory." I answered him, getting impatient. I was hungry and I wanted to hurry up and hit a McDonald's before driving back home.
"Alright." He sighed, "Edward Masen." He answered.
"No really." I mentally rolled my eyes. Famous people.
"I'm serious." He laughed.
"You're joking." I looked at him skeptically.
"I'm not." He smiled the crooked smile that made me realize why so many woman fell for him.
"Alright, if that's all." I said breaking the silence. I was staring in his eyes and I felt like a crazed fan girl. "Goodbye Mr. Masen." I smiled once more before turning around.
"Edward." He called down the hall. I smiled and turned around,
"Goodbye Edward." I answered before leaving the building. I couldn't get his green eyes out of my head as I drove to the McDonald's. I passed it three times before finally pulling in the parking lot. I contemplated going through the drive-thru but I decided I was dangerous driving right now. I parked, and got out, blushing as I thought of his smile when I walked in. The floor was slippery from wet shoes and I quickly lost my footing.
"Whoa there." A familiar voice said, catching me from falling flat on my butt. "Hello Miss Swan."
"Hello Mr. Masen." I looked down on at the floor, setting my feet straight.
"Edward." He corrected. I huffed, my stomach was burning with his touch, feeling him through my shirt.
"Bella." I corrected him. He noticed where his hands were, and let go.
"Do you always fall down?" He joked, walking back to the line.
"Do you always catch random girls?" I asked, annoyed that he was making fun of me. He just laughed and began to order.
"A number one, large." He ordered, "And whatever she wants." He pointed behind me.
"Sure thing Edward." She cooed. I rolled my eyes.
"I'll have a large chocolate shake and a large fries." I wasn't extremely hungry anymore.
"That's it?" He asked, as he payed and walked over to a table.
"I prefer to cook." I answered. I did enjoy cooking, I even went to school for it, but I was too big of a klutz and was a hazard in a kitchen. Too many sharp objects and hot things.
"You like to cook?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Sure." I rested my cheek on my hand.
"I never would have guessed." He mumbled."Too clumsy."
I blushed, "Just because I fell once doesn't mean anything."
"Something tells me you've fallen more than once." He smirked, and ran his hands through his bronze hair. I didn't answer, the girl at the counter called our number and I stood up to go get it."No, I don't want you to drop anything." Edward was already two steps ahead of me laughing. I sat down, staring out the window. It was so gray here, I had forgotten how rainy it was. Edward came back faster than I had expected. He placed my milkshake and my fries in front of me before grabbing his hamburger.
I took a sip of the chocolate shake before taking the lid off, and dipping my fries in it. Edward snuck one of his fries in, and taking a bite.
"I used to love that." He smiled my favorite smile.
"I still love it." I took another fry, repeating the process. We sat in the McDonald's for a while. Ordering two more shakes, and three more large fries. It was easy being around Edward. I realized quickly that he was nothing like the man I thought he was. He was very humble, not letting the stardom get to his head. He said he was a foster child, brought up with four adoptive siblings. I told him about growing up with my mother Renee. I told him about how I had to talk my mother out of sky diving just a few days ago. She has a fear of heights and didn't remember until she was about to get on the plane. I couldn't put it off anymore, I had to be back home soon to check in with my boss, and finish the paper work I have been putting off.
"It was nice meeting you Edward." I said, walking to the door.
"I'll walk you out." Edward opened the door for me. My car was right at the door, and I wished that I had parked farther away. I didn't want to go, but I knew Edward was just being nice to me, and that I was just some other girl. Had it been Jessica, the girl who worked for the other partner at the label, he would've acted the same. We got to my car, and I turned around to tell Edward goodbye when I froze because of his proximity."I really enjoyed meeting you." His breath spread over my face, causing my heart to sputter. He placed his hands by my head, leaning against my car. He lowered his face down, and kissed me lightly on my nose.
"Goodbye Bella." He smiled, and walked away to his car. The way he said my name made me forget to breathe. I inhaled deeply, before getting in the car. I hit my head on the steering wheel, groaning. "Way to go Bella. Fall for the star like every other girl." I yelled at myself. I turned on my car, and drove off. It was going to be a long week.
I wasn't planning on writting this. I was really bored, and began to write, and the story just kinda happened. I'm pretty sure I'm going to continue it, but if I get some reviews I'll be updating this pretty soon. :) Tell me what ya think about it. The good, the bad, and the ugly. :]]
