It Had To Be You
Saturday
(BPOV)
I'm Bella Swan and I'm a free woman! I recently graduated at the top of my class at Harvard Law. The chapter of my life in College was PERFECT! I had the time of my life. High School on the other hand had a different story…
Flashback
It was in the middle of my freshman year when he came. His name was Edward Cullen, son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. His father was a great lawyer. They moved to Forks because Esme grew tired of the city.
Edward was beyond perfect. He was a Greek God that has blessed us with his presence. He had sexy and messy bronze colored hair, emerald gems for eyes, pale skin. He's tall and toned. His best trait was a crooked smile that could make you melt instantly.
I had a HUGE crush of Edward Cullen.
Flashback
My infatuation for Edward morphed into hatred because of 3 annoying people: Jessica, Mike and Lauren.
Flashback
It was a week after Edward's First day. Edward instantly got along with the popular clique. Big Whoop!
I was walking toward the popular table to ask him about our assignment in Bio. He was my Lab. Partner. Yay!!
When I reached their table, all eyes were on me. I tapped Edward's shoulder twice.
Before I could say anything…
"What do you want LOSER!" he snapped at me.
I was so shocked and hurt that I ran out of the cafeteria to the parking lot. I jumped into my red Chevy truck and started to cry.
I heard a knock on my window and I looked up to see my older brother Emmett, his girlfriend Rosalie, my best friends Alice Brandon & Angela Weber. They were all giving me an apologetic look and I smiled half-heartedly to tell them I'm okay.
Flashback
My college life was fun. I was a happier me. I fully bloomed in college. My face cleared up, my curves were evident. I had boobs and a butt! Alice, Angela and I were closer than ever. Angela entered Harvard with me and Alice entered Parsons School of Design. We had an apartment together.
Two years ago, Alice met Jasper at the coffee shop that was two blocks from our apartment. They're stronger than ever. He just proposed to her during our graduation party since Alice's parents were present and he wanted them to be a part of it. Angela and I casually dated a few guys. Angela met Ben Cheney and they're still together and loving one another. I recently broke up with Jacob Black. He's a friend from the La Push Reservation that I met at Harvard. I broke it off with him. I didn't feel the same way but he didn't seem to see that. He's been calling me but I only ignore his calls. It's driving me and my roommates insane. I already told him that it was over. But NO…
On Monday, Angela and I will start working at C.C. Law Firm and we'll be working with a resident lawyer. When we got the call from the firm, they didn't mention who we'll be working with. I am very excited about our new job and so is Angela.
"Red or Green?" Alice asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. She was holding 2 dresses. A green mini-dress and a red off-shoulder dress.
"The red dress" I replied, pointing at the red dress.
"Perfect!! Thanks!!" Alice said while jumping. That girl has too much caffeine in her system.
Tonight, Emmett invited us (Alice, Jasper, Angela, Ben and I) to Twilight Records, the record company that he works at.
"Bella, go shower up, and then sit on the chair so that I can do your hair and makeup for tonight." Alice ordered.
I have a love-hate opinion about makeovers. It sucks because I have 2 sit on the chair for hours and Alice enjoys playing Barbie Bella. I adore it because of the final results are amazing. I see how beautiful I really am.
After 2 hours of hair and makeup, Alice was finally done. I looked in the mirror and I loved what I saw. My hair was down and very wavy. My bangs were straight but I framed my heart-shaped face. My makeup was equally perfect. Alice chose a very natural look for me. I had very little blush and foundation. On my lips, she placed on some clear lip gloss that made my plump lips plumper. She added some eye liner and some blue eye shadow.
"Thanks Alice" was all I said while hugging her.
"My Pleasure. You should get dressed. You'll be wearing a metallic blue chiffon dress and some strappy black heels." She said with a smile on her face.
"Heels?! You know I can't wear that!" I actually can because Alice forced me to take ballet lessons so that I'll be less clumsy. It worked but I still had my moments and they really hurt my feet.
Sighs. "It's only 2 inches high. Don't worry!" Alice announced to calm me down.
"Fine…" I said in sheer defeat.
"Also wear the pink and black lingerie that I bought for you!" Alice shouted from the other room.
"Okay!" I was okay with wearing lingerie. It helps boost my confidence especially when I'll be dancing with some hot guy. Hehe…
I quickly slid into the said lingerie. It felt good. I felt very sexy. I slipped on the dress over my head and wore on the strappy black heels. Surprisingly, the shoes felt very comfortable. I glanced at the mirror for the last time. I was READY.

New Moon is the club where the Anniversary Party of the record company is held at. Emmett was outside waiting for us with Rosalie. After we paid the cab driver, we directly went to Emmett and Rosalie.
"Hey Em and Rose!" we all greeted them.
"Let's go!!" Em said as we followed him towards the bouncer. "They're with me." He proudly announced to the bouncer.
"Enjoy the party" The bouncer said.
When we entered the club it was really packed and Breaking Dishes by Rihanna was playing. People were really dancing to the beat. We settled into a booth and a waiter took our drink orders.
"Bella! Let's dance!" Alice shouted as she was pulling me to the dance floor. We went to the center of the dance floor and started dancing with each other. The song ended then Butterfly by Jason Mraz came on. I love this song so I really got into dancing. I noticed that Jasper went to us to grab Alice because he felt angry and uncomfortable with the way the other guys were looking at Alice.
I was left alone. Dancing by myself. Acting like a fool. I suddenly felt like someone was dancing with me and I felt his hands firmly placed on my waist guiding to how he was moving. I felt an electric current run through my body. I loved every minute of it.
The song ended. I didn't want it to end.
"Hey" I spun around to see who said it when I was faced with a sparkling pair of emerald eyes and a crooked smile that would make you melt.
"Hi" was all I could come up with. I was also grinning like a madwoman.
"Do you have a name?" asked the mysterious, bronze-haired Greek God.
"Call me Belle" I said, trying the "hard to get" routine. The next thing he did really surprised me.
He took my left hand them kissed it. "Well nice to meet you Belle. You can call me Eddie" he replied, showing me his perfectly white teeth.
My phone vibrated in my left pocket. I took it out then saw that I had a text message from Alice.
It's really late. I'm tired. Meet us outside. Let's go home. XOXO
Alice
"Got to go. Sorry. My friends are really tired and they want to go home. Bye!" I said to him and he really looked hurt.
He suddenly grabbed me then kissed me quite passionately. He smiled then said, "I just a reminder of this night. I WILL find you." And all I did was smile and blushed deep red.
I quickly made my way through the crowd and finally reached Alice and the gang. We all went to Emmett's Hummer and while we were on the road, Emmett asked me a question:
"So Bella…Did you have fun tonight?"
"Oh yeah…" I replied, grinning to myself. Unfortunately, Alice and Angela seemed to notice my new-found happiness.
"Why are you smiling?" Angela asked raising one of her eyebrows curiously.
"Yeah. Why is that?" Alice said, backing up Angela.
"Well…ahh…umm" was all that I could get out of my mouth. They both asked a lot of questions.
"You two stop it. Can you just leave Bella alone for once?" Jasper said backing me up.
"OK" Angela and Alice said at the same time.
