Author's Note: As some of you may know, I have decided that since I'm going to have a lot of free time this summer, I have decided to have two stories up at once. I had a poll up for two weeks for my readers to vote on which one of the four stories I have in the process of writing. Out of the four, The Storm and this story were tied at the end of the two weeks, so I made an author's decision and decided that I shall post this one first, before another poll is created for any story I may start in the future. However, this doesn't mean I won't forget about Angel Of Death. I will be able to update both stories at the same time…I hope.

Anyway, I hope you like this story…I actually really love where this is going and I think it's going to be really good. :)

Edward's Point Of View

I sat at my parents' dining room table, talking quietly to my mother, Esme, about my roommate problems.

My old roommate was Jasper Hale, but he moved in with my sister about a week ago. He loved her so much; I knew it was only a matter of time before they were married. But now I was alone in my big apartment.

Not that I didn't mind being alone. It was just too…quiet sometimes. I needed to find someone to live with and soon, otherwise I might lose my mind. Sure, I had put an ad in the newspaper and people had responded. Yet, most of them were girls with no brains whatsoever. I defiantly didn't want to live with someone like that.

I heard a car door slam and watched as my sister, Alice, came bouncing into the room with a grin plastered on her face. Jasper, on the other hand, was trailing behind her shaking his head. Not a good sign.

"Edward!" Alice called brightly as she approached me, "guesswhat, guesswhat, guesswhat," she rushed, merging her words together. I groaned at her excitement.

"What?" I asked, a little hesitant.

"I said guess," she pouted.

"They're closing all the malls in the world forever," I guessed, knowing it would upset her. It did. She gasped in horror.

"Don't even joke about something like that, Edward," she scolded before grinning again, "Anyway," she continued, "I found you an amazing new roommate," she said proudly. Jasper sat down at the table across from me.

"I tried to talk her out of it…" he defended quietly.

"Oh, hush," she hit him playfully. "Edward I know you're going to absolutely love her." She grinned. I groaned because I knew she meant that literally. I looked up at her, I knew she was excited about this and she was just trying to be a helpful sister, I decided it wouldn't hurt to at least meet the girl.

"Alright, Alice, just to make you happy," I began, "When do I meet this girl?" The grin left her face and she immediately began fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

Oh shit…

"Well…ya see…I already gave her Jasper's old key and she had a friend of hers help her move in…" I stood up quickly and reached for my car keys.

"What the fuck, Alice!" I yelled. I didn't want someone I didn't know living in my apartment.

"Edward, don't worry. I know for a fact she's not there destroying the place or anything. Bella wouldn't do that." As if that was supposed to make me feel any better.

"It doesn't...Ugh…" I was halfway to the door now, "I don't…shit…Alice, we're not done with this conversation!" I hollered before slamming the door behind me. "Stupid Alice, always trying to play matchmaker." I muttered to myself as I unlocked the front door to my apartment. I walked in hesitantly, calling out to see if anyone was there, but I didn't get an answer. I took slow, careful steps as I made my living room where, on the couch, was one of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

She was sprawled out on the couch, asleep. Her face was heart shaped and pale, with high cheekbones and pink, full lips. Her long brown hair was spread out around her and her lips formed a small smile. Her small hands covered an old tattered book and, as I got closer, I saw that it was Wuthering Heights. A fan of the classics?

"Bella?" I asked quietly, remembering the name Alice had used. I knelt down beside the couch and shook her lightly, watching her stir. "Bella?" I asked again, a little louder this time. She scrunched her nose and then her eyelids fluttered open, revealing two big brown eyes. I stood up as she pushed the blanket off of her and set her book down beside her. She blinked and looked around before her eyes met mine.

"Hello," she whispered, looking at me cautiously, as if I would flip out on her any second. Of course, she was probably aware of what Alice had done and was probably waiting for me to kick her out. I smiled at her and she seemed to relax a bit. "Are you my Alice's brother?" I nodded.

"Edward Cullen," I introduced myself, holding out my hand to her.

"Bella Swan," she smiled, shaking my hand. There was a bit of silence before I realized how hungry I was. I looked down at my watch to see it was 6:00. I smiled a little and looked back at her.

"Are you hungry?" I asked. She raised an eyebrow but nodded anyway. "Well, I believe it's dinner time and I was wondering, since we're going to be living together now and everything, would you like to go out to dinner with me? Since all I know about you is your name." She smiled.

"I would love to." She said, standing up and walking towards the kitchen. I assumed that she would have change and stuff if we were going to go out to dinner, so I sat down on the couch and turned on the news before she walked back into the room, with her shoes on and her purse hanging on her shoulder. "Aren't we leaving?" she asked. I stood up quickly and turned the TV off.

"Yes, of course. I just thought you would take an hour to change your clothes and stuff before we could leave." I explained, instantly kicking myself for assuming. Thankfully, she laughed as we exited the apartment and I locked the door behind us.

"I'm not like Alice." She said with a reassuring smile.

"That's a relief," I said, "I mean I love my sister and all but sometimes she can be a little…" I trailed off, trying to think of a word to describe her.

"Controlling? Straight forward?" Bella offered. I nodded. "I know what you mean. She has this obsession with playing Bella Barbie with me?" I raised an eyebrow and she sighed. "She likes to dress me up in these ridiculous outfits that I would never wear and then does my hair and make-up. I have to sit there for hours most of the time and half the time I'm not even going somewhere special!" She threw her arms up in the air as we walked out of the elevator and I couldn't help but laugh. "And she made me move all my stuff into your apartment…" she paused for a second and then looked over at me, "Sorry about that, by the way," I held up a hand to say it was alright, so she continued. "I tried to tell her it was a bad idea but did she listen? Of course not. For someone so small she sure is scary." She shuddered a little.

"At least I'm not the only one who thinks that," I mused, unlocking the Volvo. She laughed softly and climbed in. As soon I turned the car on, a cd of my music started playing. Quickly, I went to change it, but Bella stopped me.

"Wait, I don't recognize this composer." She said, looking over at me.

"Uh, that's because it's a CD I made…" I kept my eyes on the road.

"Really?" I nodded. "That's cool. I play the piano to, although I'm nowhere near as good as this. I remember when my mother tried to teach me to play and I ended up like breaking the piano basically because I got really mad that I couldn't play Row, Row, Row Your Boat. It was so bad and…." She trailed of for a moment. I looked over at her just in time to see a small blush creep to her cheeks. "And I'm rambling. Sorry, I do that when I get nervous." I chuckled.

"It's fine." I assured, "Much better than having to make conversation." She laughed and I couldn't help but look over at her. She caught my gaze and blushed again before she looked out the window.

I'm pretty sure I might have to thank Alice later.

"So I'm curious…" Edward began. I looked up at him and waited for him to continue. "How did Alice force you to move into the apartment?" I sighed.
