Oh. My. God.
Ohmygod ohmygod.
What am I going to do?
He's walking over to my desk.
Green eyes blazing. Smirk in place.
His hand running absent-mindedly through his bronzed hair.
He's gorgeous.
He's also much younger than me and…not the one I want.
If you had asked me 6 months ago what I would do for a date, no, a glance from the fine human specimen walking my way I would have said I'd do anything.
I would have gladly taken on extra work hours, done your expense reports, but today…things have changed.
I was so wrapped up in my daily work routine and e-mail correspondence that it completely slipped my mind. I had a lunch date with Edward. Me. A date. With Edward.
He'd asked me a few days ago and yes a few days ago I was all for it but that was before I came to the realization that hit me this morning.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I have had a crush on one Edward Masen for the past year (or I should say had a crush. Past tense). Every since he walked into our accounting office and into the fantasies of every female who works here. Minus one Alice Cullen who only has eyes for Jasper Whitlock.
I still remember the way he looked with his black tailored suit, white button up white (sans tie) and that unruly hair.
Carlisle, owner of Cullen Accounting Firm, introduced him to the staff as the newest CPA joining our illustrious team.
As he walked around from desk to desk trailing behind Carlile (who refused to be addressed as Mr. Cullen stating that was his fathers name and it made him feel like a grandfather) he was introduced to each person individually.
The only movement he would offer was a slight tip of the head and faint smile, which for some reason left a wake of swooning girls as he moved on to his next unsuspecting victim.
Not that I followed his path. Not at all.
He was handsome. Yes, anyone with eyes could see that so I didn't understand what all the fuss was about, until he was introduced to me.
Did I mention he was wearing glasses?
Paired that with a set of pearly white teeth and the afore-mentioned outfit and I had joined the ranks of the swoon team. Then he spoke.
Granted all he murmured was a quiet hello but it was enough.
Did I mention he had the best looking teeth I'd ever seen in a man?
Oh, yeah. I knew that because he had graced me with a full-blown smile, not a mere head nod and twitch of his lips. No, no. Edward Masen had smiled at me.
I know, I know, I sound like a lovesick teenager.
Did I mention the new CPA was 25 years old? Or that I am a whopping 30 years old?
Yeah, all I could do was admire from afar because, lets face it, what kind of a creeper would I be to go after a man younger than me.
Especially one that looked like that!
He could have his pick of any young hottie that threw herself at him (and who knows he probably already had a girlfriend).
That's a moot point anyway because he was way out of my league.
I know what you're thinking. Any 30 year old confident woman can seduce a younger man.
Well that's where you have me pegged wrong.
I am nowhere near confident enough (or was back when I met him) to even try to strike up a conversation or flirt with Edward.
No, I was the mousy girl next door who was everyone's friend and confidant. The reliable girl who would help you out of a jam if you needed her at the drop of a hat.
The girl who would sit at the table watching your purse while you got on the dance floor to dance with the guy you'd just met 20 minutes before.
The one that always got passed over in favor of the Rosalie Hales of the world. (Don't get me wrong, I love my roommate but sometimes I wish she would take a break from her rotation. Our apartment looks like a runway with the amount of men parading in and out every other day).
But I digress.
My point is that 6 months ago I would have given anything for Edward Masen to give me the time of day, but not today. Today I would have to sit through a very awkward lunch date and try to let him down gently.
Why the change of heart?
Because I, Isabella Swan, am in love with my sex therapist.

Did I mention I'm still a virgin?
A/N Hello! I am embarking on a new story. I've been trying to get some work done on Burning in the Skies but the inspiration fairy seems to have abandoned me. This plot has been bouncing around in my head for the past week so I figure I'll get it down and hopefully it'll get my brain moving on BITS. I'm going beta-less this time around. Not because I don't love my betas but mostly because the chapters will be short and written as inspiration hits me. Updates may be twice a day or once every few days depending on how busy I am at work. Hope you enjoy this and I would love to see your thoughts so please hit the review button!
