The Little Coffee Shop
Introduction:
Hi. My name is Isabella Swan, but most people call me Bella. I am 18 and an a senior at Forks High School. I live with my dad Charlie my Step-Mother Sue, and her two children Leah and Seth. I am getting ready to go to collage at Forks community college next year.
Chapter 1:
I woke up at 6am, because I need to go school shopping for my senior year. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. After I got ready I went downstairs to eat breakfast. When I noticed a note from my dad "Bells, Sue and I went to Seattle to visit great aunt Bessie in the hospital. We will be back in two days Leah and Seth are at their dads so you have the house to yourself this weekend, love dad." so then I ate some cereal and made my way to my beat up red truck and went shopping at the local mall. I went from store to store and picked out a few things that I really liked. After I finished shopping for clothes I went to a small coffee shop called "Coffee Beans". When I went inside I saw the most beautiful man I have ever seen. He was tall and had tousled hair that looks like he hasn't combed it this morning but for some reason it looked sexy. He had mesmerizing green eyes and that's when I realized I was staring so I glanced away before he could notice. I walked up to the counter and ordered a medium iced coffee and paid. When I received my iced coffee I went and sat down at a table and was looking through my phone. After a couple minutes the sexy man joined my table and we started talking. "Hello, my name is Edward. I couldn't help but notice the book peeking out of you bag is an American classic." said Edward. I was shocked that he noticed an American classic in my bag. Then I looked at him as I pulled the book out of my bag and said "I'm Bella, Wuthering Heights is one of my favorites." "Mine too. Emily Bronte was talented I admire all of her work." Edward replied. As the minutes passed we continued to talk about literature and then the conversation moved toward our lives. One thing that I learned about Edward was that his last name was Cullen and he is the owner of a large law firm, he admired literature and enjoyed playing the piano. We talked some more and we decided to meet up again next Friday. After my encounter with Edward I went home and put away my new stuff for school. I had at least eight new shirts and several pairs of bottoms as well as two pairs of shoes. I liked to dress simple but I know how to dress up if I have to. As the weekend came to a close I went to bed early on Sunday night as I had school the next day. When morning came I showered and got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast with the family. Sue always thinks of the first day of school to be a special event and always has a wonderful breakfast waiting for us all. When we were all sitting at the table breakfast was served. There were plates full of bacon pancakes and eggs a well as a pitcher of orange and apple juice. One thing that I like about first day of school breakfast's are that everyone is in a good mood, and nobodies arguing or complaining about how late we are going to be. When breakfast ended I got in my truck and drove to school. I am the type to keep to myself all during school but I do have some friends. I usually read and study that's why I have such good grades and I get out at 10:00 everyday for senior release. The rest of the week went by quick and before I knew it, it was Friday. I was sitting in my AP history class getting anxious because I was meeting Edward at the coffee shop at 11. When the bell rang I went to my locker and grabbed some books and headed home to make sure I look okay. When I got home I rushed to the bathroom and let my hair down. One thing that I liked about my hair is that it is naturally wavy. I brushed through it really quick and applied a little bit of make up. After I was ready I grabbed my cell phone and some cash. And I left my house by 10:40 I went to the coffee shop and got another medium iced coffee and sat at the same table we sat at last time and waited about 5 mins later Edward showed up and came over to me and said he would be right back he was going to get a coffee. When he came back we started talking like we were old friends. It was odd, it seemed like we knew each other for years. We had a connection and I don't know how strong that connection may be. "Bella, you are unlike anyone I have ever met. You are intelligent and share a passion of literature with me. I think we will be great friends." Edward admitted. "I agree, we have a lot in common. You know, there is a Wuthering Heights book reading at the Seattle mall this Sunday. It sounds interesting. Would you like to go with me?" I asked. "that sounds fun, I would like to join you." Edward replied. We exchanged numbers and talked more about literature. Before I had a chance to blink Sunday rolled around and Edward texted me that morning and asked me of I would like to go to dinner before. I quickly replied and said yes. We decided to meet at the coffee shop at 4 and we would drive to Seattle together. Edward arrived at the coffee shop earlier than I did and we took his car to a small Italian restaurant named Little Italy. When we went inside we were seated in a secluded part of the restaurant. We ordered our food and started talking but this time it wasn't literature. I starting opening up about myself and telling him about my life. "Well for started you know ilike to read. Although something many people don't know about me Is that I also enjoy trying new experiences and have fun." I said "I see. And what kind of new things do you like to try?" Edward asked. "Hmm, I like trying adventurous things. Actually I have a list of things I want to do before I die. Its corny I know." I said. Edward laughed "Oh Bella, your funny. What kind of things do you plan to do?". he asked "I want to go deep sea fishing to free falling it's a range of adventure for me!" I said and then smiled. Edward smiled back. We ate our meals and talked more about adventure and then we started talking about dating and relationships. "I havent found the one yet." Edward admitted. "Most women either want me for my looks or my money, nobody I have been with shares common interests or hobbies." Edward added. "I can sort of relate to that. You know I'm a senior most people haven't grown up yet and are still stuck in the high school years." I said. "Well I think you have grown up. You are more mature than any other girl I have been with." Edward said. "Thank you. You are a great guy. You will find someone who loves you for you." I said. "Thanks, well its almost time for the signing ill get the check." he said. A few minutes later the check came and I went to grab money but Edward stopped me "No, I'll get it. A lady like you shouldn't have to pay." Edward said kindly. "Thank you. That very nice." I said and smiled, I could feel the blush. After we ate we went to the book reading and we set up a time to meet again but this time it was going to be an actual date. "I had a wonderful time Bella. We need to do this again." Edward said. "Yes we do, and soon I had so much fun." I said. "How would you like to go on a date next Friday?" Edward asked nervously. "That sounds wonderful, text me details later." I said. We smiled at each other and we went our separate ways for now.
