A/N: Full Summary:
After getting the job of her dreams, Bella Swan, engaged to the one and only douche Mike Newton, gets thrown into a pretty messy situation. Her new co-worker may be the hottest thing to ever walk the planet. Problem is, they're both in a pretty serious relationship. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan go through a lot together and in 6 months, everything may change. [Pay attention to the dates! That's why they're there!] As she starts to fall with him, she'll learn that working with big cats may not be the only dangerous thing she's doing.
* Although I was born in San Diego, I've lived in GA almost my whole life. And it's been a while since I went back to the zoo. But I do want to be a big cat zookeeper myself [and who knows, may I'll find my own Zooward;) haha] a lot of this story is just me using poetic license. If I'm doing anything wrong, PM me and let me know!*
HERE ARE MY FANFICTION RULES:
1.) Don't be a bitch. You know what I mean. Don't like my story? No one is making you read it! You see that little arrow that's pointing - that way. Yeah, click it. Don't click the review boutten if you're just gunna "yell" at me for my grammer, spelling, plot, characters and whatnot. I can take a little bit of critisim- that shit helps me improve. Be like hey, Monica maybe you should make this character more of a bitch, or nicer, or take them out, or bring them in, or lemme see more of this person and so on. That lets me know how I can keep my readers, reading.
2.) Don't expect me to change everything because of you. If you want me to do something and I COMPLETELY disagree with that, I'll let you know. But I will not change it JUST for you. If others agree with you, I may do something. But my story is being written by ME. Therefore, I'll write it the way I see fit.
3.) My spelling sucks ass, and my laptop doesn't have spellcheck. Don't bitch at me-help me.
4.) If you want that real kinky smutty stuff- this is not the place for you. It IS rated M for a reason, but I can't write stuff like that. Although I AM looking for someone who may want to beta me. I'd email you the chapters before I post them and we can always go back and forth writing things and fixing shit. Someone who can write some smutty stuff- if you're looking to beta, PM me. Thanks!
5.) Although my number ONE rule is ExB will NEVER cheat ON each other, I never said ANYTHING about cheating WITH each other...
6.) Any of my other stories on FF- I know, I know. I suck at this keeping the stories up. I am working hard though, especially since I have like 5 up that have a couple chapters but no end... I will seriously try to alternate between my stories. My two main stories will be this one and To Kiss My Own Angel.
Early Saturday Morning
June 2nd, 2012
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Ali! Calm down! My EAR!" I shouted at my small best friend who was jumping up and down and screaming excitedly.
"How come you're not the one screaming?" She asked me, surprised.
I didn't wanna tell her, but on the inside, I WAS jumping up and down while screaming.
I had just got off the phone with the manager of the San Diego Zoo-who had just told me that I had gotten my dream job.
Ever since I was 9 years old, I decided I was going to be one of those girls with her hair tied back and that ugly brown uniform on. I wanted to work with big cats, no matter the cost-and by cost I mean those really fucking expensive classes I had to take for three years. I thought those gorgeous big cats were the most beautiful things on this planet, and I had to be the one that took care of them. And just 3 minutes ago, I got the best news in the world.
My dream was finally coming true.
And obviously Alice was just as excited as I was-well, maybe a little more.
You see, Alice Brandon has been my friend since kindergarden when she pulled my long hair and I pushed her off the swings to get her back. Ever since that fateful day, we had been insepriable.
Which is why at 24, we were sharing a small, modern loft in San Diego California, hundreds of miles from our rainy hometown, Forks Washington.
And why she was curently yelling in my ear about how happy she was for me.
"Thanks Al, really. I can't believe I actually got it!"
"Well you deserve it 100%! I think you're the only loser that goes and spends hours staring at those evil animals."
I laughed being smacking her arm. Of course it would be MY best friend that thought my favorite animals were evil creaters. I got up from our couch and moved over to the small island in our kitchen and grabbed a beer. Popping the top off, stared at a wall as I thought about the fact that, in two days, I'll be starting the job that I've wanted all my life. A small smile crept up on my face but I quickly hid it as Ali came bouning my way again.
Monday could not come soon enough.

Early Monday Morning
June 4th
I jumped awake from my dream after my alarm clock started beeping loudly.
I swear, one day, I will smash that fucking thing with a hammer.
I rolled over, not even bothering to smack the snooze bottun, and pulled my pillow over my head. 5:30 was WAY to early.
"TURN IT OFF!" I heard Ali screech from her room, down the hall. Laughing I hit my clock pretty hard, turning the damn thing off. I rolled outta bed and padded down to the kitchen.
Only when I heard the quiet dripping noise from the coffee machine did I finally sigh. Pushing my self off from the kitchen table, I headed back to my room to get ready for the day. I could hear Ali snoring from her room and wanted to punch her- it was days like these when I wished I had my own business, like Alice. Then I could get up whenver I damn well pleased.
I had gotten my uniform in the mail yesterday and had been THIS close to trying it on-but Ali stopped me and said it would be more exciting if I wore it for real on my first day. So I had waited. And now I got my chance to put it on.
Sure, the uniform wasn't very cute-ever I crinkled my nose like Alice when we took it out of the box-but it was the ugly brown uniform I had wanted since I was 9. And I was soo proud I got to wear it.
So after slipping it on and tying the belt, I headed into the bathroom to pull my hair up and work on my face a little bit. Finally, around 6 o'clock, I was in the kitchen sipping my warm coffee. I sat down on the couch and watched the news for a while before 6:30 rolled around. When I grabbed my phone, wallet and keys, I heard Ali walk into the room. I turned to see she was all sleepy and rumpled and yet again, I wanted to punch her for being able to sleep in until 9.
"Aw, look at my little girl, all ready for her first day of work!" She said, giving me a cheesy smile. She walked over and gave me a big hug, wishing me luck, before heading into the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee.
Finally, I was out the door with a quick, "I'll be home around 8!" over my shoulder.
Of course, it was a warm sunny morning in beautiful San Diego, when I got inside my car and turned the key.
Today, was the first day of forever.
And it felt pretty damn good.
