EdwardPOV

My name is Edward Anthony Masen and I am twenty years old. I live with my momma, Elizabeth and my dad, Edward Sr. I have a little ten year old sister, Alice. My life is anything but normal. I know one thing for sure is that I need a job. I will take anything.

One Sunday afternoon I heard that Mr. Charlie Swan needed help on his farm. I grabbed my keys.

"Momma am I going look for a job I'll be back around eight tonight" I yelled. My mother, Elizabeth came from the living room with a towel and apron. She also had my ten year old sister, Alice by her hip.

"No need for shoutin boy, but good luck with the job huntin," she said. I walked out to my truck and revved it up. The Swan's farm is hidden in the woods so I have to pay close attention to where I am going. I spot a dirt road and turn I think this is it. I see a huge barn and a little house by it. By the house was standing the man himself, Charlie Swan. Charlie stays to himself and has one daughter, who nobody around here ever met. Charlie sees my beat up truck from the side of the house. I park the truck in front of the house and get out. I hope he doesn't mind a t-shirt, jeans and Nikes for this interview.

"What you doin here boy?" he asked wiping sweat off of his forehead. I put my hands in my pockets.

"I hear that you need a hand on the farm." I said looking up at his face. He took off his hat and passed his hand on his head then he put his hat back on.

"You heard right boy, but you need a truck, two strong arms, not afraid of dirt and willing to work," he said crossing his arms.

"My name is Edward. I got a truck and I ain't afraid of dirt and I need work. Shoot I'll start now." I said taking my hands out of my pockets. He looked at me then he put out his hand.

"Alright pretty boy you got the job. The fence needs fixin, the peaches need pickin and the cows need bringin' round," he said. We shook hands then I got to work. After spending hours in the sun it had me sweatin like a dog so I followed a path of trees and cooled off in the creek. Then I started workin again. I was haulin hay.

"Shit!" I said as it placed itself in my finger. Six loads of hay and I want to burn it all. That crap stuck me every time. After that I started feeding the hogs.

"Crap!" I said while feeding them they stunk like I don't know what, but they had been rolling in crap all day so that explained it all. I looked back at my list of things to do. Last thing was milking the cows. I run over to the barn and get Lizzie. Lizzie was the only cow to milk well besides Lucy, but she didn't like me that much. I brought her out of the barn and into the shade. Before I got started I pulled at my collar of my shirt and think "Oh hell!" I grab the bottom of the shirt and take it off. I heard an intake of breath come from the barn. I turn around to see the most beautiful girl. We locked eyes and just stared. She had mahogany brown hair, chocolate eyes and a sun kissed tan. It just got hotter.

"Bells!" Charlie yelled from inside the barn. The girl turned and hugged Charlie. I quickly started milking Lizzie, that is in till Charlie and the girl came by.

"Edward! I want you to meet my daughter, Bella. Bella this is Edward, my helping hand." Charlie said to Bella. Bella, her name fits her perfectly. I wipe my hands on my jeans and put my hand out.

"I am Edward Masen. Nice to meet you ma'am," I said. She stared at me then she finally noticed I stopped talking. She blushed. Oh Lord that blush could kill me. She shook my hand. It felt like shocks were going through my hand.

"My name is Bella. It's a pleasure to meet you also," she said. I let go of her hand. Awarkard moment.

"Bells just got back from Panama City." Charlie said breaking the awarkardness.

"Well Edward I can see you are almost done so Bells let's leave he be. Bye boy." Charlie said walking away.

"Bye Charlie!" I yelled back at him. It was just Bella and I. She tripped when she was walking to Lizzie. I quickly caught her. Our eyes locked.

"I am so sorry for that. I was just coming talk to Lizzie while you milked her," she said. I stood her right side up.

"I should apologize. I am all sweaty and shirtless and I know no girl likes being touch by sweat." I mumbled. She blushed more than ever and placed a finger over my lips.

"It's okay" she whispered. Then she slowly backed away.

"Bye Edward. See you tomorrow," she said disappearing from my view.

"Bye Bella." I said, hoping she can hear me. I finish milking with a brown eyed beauty on my mind. I grabbed my shirt and was heading home, but before leaving I caught sight of Bella on the porch waving good-bye to me. I waved back and made my way home. I grabbed my shirt and my keys then I made my way inside. My mom was putting down the plates as I entered.

"Hey Edward. How did the huntin go?" she asked.

"I got a job helping Charlie Swan on his farm." I said stopping in the kitchen by the table.

"Congratulation Edward. Now get cleaned up and then come eat, but be quiet Alice is sleeping," she said. I saluted her with a laugh then I headed up to a shower. The whole time I had Bella on my mind. I quickly finished and ran to the kitchen to see it will only be me and my mom eating dinner tonight. I sat down in a chair.

"Where is dad?" I asked stuffing a meatball in my mouth. She sat down in the chair that was across from mine.

"Work." she said. I ate quickly and cleaned my plate in the sink. I kissed my mom on the cheek.

"I am tired so I am off to bed. Night mom," I said heading to my room.

"Goodnight Edward," I heard her sat when I was almost in my room. I closed my door and stripped to my boxers then I slipped into bed. I can't wait to get back to work. I dreamed of Bella, the farmer's daughter.
