Bella's POV
"Mommy, mommy wake up! Wake up!" Tyler shouted bouncing on the big double bed.
"Mommy's awake" I soothed
"Do you think you could give me a little warning before you decide to have a party on bed Ty" I giggled scooping him up in my arms. Tyler was 3 years old and I was a single mother, coping well but there was always a day when I could do with a little more time in bed or a day to myself. I loved Tyler with all my heart he was my biggest accomplishment in my life. My most important accomplishment. His father Jacob Black decided to go screwing around with hooker's. I felt ashamed that Tyler had such a disgrace of a father. He didn't bother with keeping in contact not one birthday or Christmas card I thought it was best that way. Tyler didn't need a dad that would swan in and out of his life when he wanted to.
"Come on toots time to get ready we have some shopping to do" I held out my hand and Tyler grabbed my pinkie finger. We walked to his bedroom so I could help him pick out some clothes, all of a sudden he lifted his arms out as a hug gesture.
"What's up baby?" Tyler's eyes were a little sad.
"I don't like you being sad sometimes, because You have no body to cuddle with when I'm asleep" Tyler cooed softly. I pulled him closely to my neck and cuddled with him for a little while I swayed side to side with him.
"I'm not always sad, because I have such a lovely, cutie pie son called Tyler and He's all I want you keep mommy from being sad" His eyes lit up and he cuddled be tighter.
After changing Tyler and setting him down with some weetabix in front of the TV, I popped in the shower. While I was showering I thought of Tyler and his little moment back in the bedroom. He acts like a 10 year old but he's my little boy and I love him so much, but he is right sometimes when I've put him to bed and I'm up alone or in bed I do wish I had someone to cuddle up with, someone to hold me and protect Tyler. I just haven't found the right man yet and after Jacob my trust issue's where a little difficult. I guess when the right man come's along he would just fit. I defiantly wasn't going to bring a fella into mine and Tyler's life if he wasn't interested, that wouldn't be fair on Tyler not one bit. I walked to the bedroom with a large fluffy towel around me. I tried my hair with my towel and it fell into natural waves, that would soon change once the hairdryer was unleashed. I picked out my skinny jeans, my UGG boots and t-shirt along with a thick hoodie. We lived in Forks the weather was always the same wet cold and miserable.
I dried my hair quickly and bunged it up into a messy bun, the rain and wind would attack it so it was best up and out of the way. I made my bed and quickly walked to Tyler's bedroom and tidied his toys from last night making his bed after. I got a pair of pyjamas out and laid them on his pillow saves the job later. I closed Ty's door and walked towards the living room. Tyler was laid on the sofa.
"Enjoying the cartoons Ty?" I smiled at him.
"Mommy I love you" Tyler replied my eyes drooped. He was the best.
"Well I love you more my little soldier" His eyes lit up. I cleared away his bowl and grabbed a slice of toast for myself. I set up his pushchair and put my bag on the handles I put the rain cover on and grabbed my Blackberry.
"Tyler you gunna hop into your pushchair please" I asked politely. He sat in the pushchair and waited for me to strap him in. I walked over quickly to the TV and turned it off. I pushed the pushchair out the door and onto the hallway landing. I locked the door behind me and walked on towards the lift.
We arrived in the lobby, me and Tyler lived in a lovely set of apartment's on the second floor, lovely neighbours and I really couldn't fault the area. Lovely place especially with young ones. We walked off towards the bus shelter and waited patiently for the bus.
"Tyler you wanna go to the toyshop you have some pocket money from Grandma Renee?"
"YES YES YES please mommy" I pecked him on the cheek. Just then the bus arrived it wasn't packed it never was, the kids are in the school and the parents are at work perfect. I gently tilted the pushchair up and pushed it onto the bus. I paid the bus driver and parked Ty's pushchair in the designated area and sat beside him. It wasn't a long journey to town, I had some food and toiletries to get and also to visit the toy shop witch Tyler desired. The bus arrived at the stop and I walked off with the pushchair. First stop was Americanfood4u we walked in and I picked up a few essentials, bread, milk, butter and pasta. Only cooking for 1 + Ty was easy no mess no fuss. I let Tyler chose some sweets from confectionery section. He was such a well-behaved little boy didn't make a sound, no tantrums and never made a scene.
We visited the drugstore then off to the toyshop. I let Ty out of his pushchair but made him hold my hand, I've never lost him and I don't intend on that either. Tyler was in heaven, there were so many toys, scaletrix, Thomas the tank engines, everything to his heart's desire it was like Christmas. He picked out a lion and a dinosaur of some sort, he loved action figures and often played with them for hours on end he was very placid with his toys. I sat Tyler in his pushchair and walked off towards the cashier. I was stood in the que when somebody bumped me luckily I had the breaks on the pushchair otherwise I would have bumped the person in front of my and hurt my baby.
"Excuse me do you mind" I said sharply.
"I'm so sorry I was miles away" He was stunning, bright green eyes bronzed tousled hair which was a mess but he worked it and he was well built with his pecks peeking through his shirt. He was quite tall too. I was a bit dazzled by him.
"That's okay but you should really watch where your walking" I said more calmly this time. He gazed at me.
"Mommy can we pay now the man's in front of us has moved out of the shop now" He said sweetly. I pushed the pushchair further towards the desk and paid for his toys.
I walked out of the shop after handing Tyler's toys to him.
"Be careful not to drop them Ty" I cooed. I could see his head bobbing up and down to show he was listening. Just as I was about to cross the road the fella from the shop caught my arm.
"Listen I'm so sorry about that in the toyshop I was deciding on the toys to get my sister in laws daughter. Listen can I take you out for a drink or a meal, to properly apologise an all" He said smoothly giving me a crooked smile. I was a little lost for words.
"Urrm... I guess but wait I hardly know you" He smiled at me again.
" Well here's a start my name's Edward and yours is?"
"Isabella but I like to be called Bella and this is Tyler," I said quietly.
He was still holding my arm but he moved his hand down to my wrist.
"Mommy it's starting to wain again can we go to home now please, my lion and t-rex are going to get a bit cold" God I loved him the way he said things so sweetly and effortlessly.
"Of course Ty, look here's my mobile number give me a ring tonight" I smiled sweetly.
"Thankyou again, by little fella" He waved to me and Tyler and watched us as I walked towards the bus shelter.
Well that was a new experience. God he was so good-looking. I caught the bus home with Tyler. It was pouring down heavily and it was also looking a bit foggy. I should be used to this weather by now guess I'm not. I arrived back to the apartments and let myself in. I walked towards the lift slowly and waited for it patiently.
"Ty you wanna make anything when we get upstairs, cake's ? we could do some arts and crafts maybe?" I offered.
"Tyler baby?" I walked around to him and he was fast asleep with his figures side by side in the pushchair, he must be tired how can he be I did all the walking. I kissed his forehead and entered the lift. We arrived on level two and I casually walked to the door. After getting inside I walked over to the thermostat and turned the heating up it was so cold. My fault I smiled. I took the bags off the pushchair and placed them on the sofa. I unstrapped Tyler and carried him to his bed he looked so peacful. I took his little pumps off and his coat and tucked him into his bed and gave him a gentle kiss. I walked out and left the door open ajar once I was in the kitchen I unpacked the food and cleared the bathroom for some of my toiletries.
Once I had done that I walked to the living room and took my UGGS off and placed them by the door. Although I had a three year old I liked things to be organised and tidy I mean I didn't work but that didn't stop me from wanting a clean and presentable house. Before I had Tyler I had worked as a business manager so I had a lot of money in the bank, enough not to work for a little while. Even though Tyler was unplanned I still thought of my future ahead. I had, had him young but he wasn't a mistake and he was the best part of my life. I was defiantly not living of the government funds I was raised better than that. My parents had also made it very clear that if I ever needed help I was to go too them straight away. Renee and Charlie were divorced Charlie had recently met a lovely lady called Claire she was pretty and suited Charlie well and what's more she could cook more than a ready-meals. I hadn't visited him in a while as he lived in Florida. So did Renee just a different part. Renee and Charlie had visited me a couple of months ago to see how I was doing and generally for a visit to see me and Tyler. Renee was married to Phil lovely man, very reserved but so very friendly.
Just as I was about settle down with a coffee and a book my Blackberry buzzed from my bag. I walked over and opened a text message from an un-known number.

So how about that drink or dinner?

My mouth dropped open he thinks I'm beautiful well I wonder if he knows He's a greek god, I'll keep that little piece of information to myself for now I giggled. I went and sat on the sofa placing my book on the coffee table.

"Hey rose how are you?"
"Not bad thanks how are you and little man?"
"We're not too bad ourselves" I grinned down the phone
"Listen I have a favour to ask.. do you and Emmett fancy babysitting Ty tommorow night about 6?"
"Of course no he's my little friend, can I ask why" she said and I could hear the cheesy grin at the end of the phone.
"I have a date!" I grinned like a school girl.
"Isabella Swan get in there !" She shouted down the phone
"Thanks Rose" I said giggling
"No worries so tomorrow at 6 your place?"
"Yep that's brilliant Rose, I'll leave you some money for a pizza or something
