A Hot Summers Day

I had been feeling really upset lately, I don't know why, I was just so stressed!!! I got up from my desk and walked to the very large window in my office. It had a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. You see, I was the owner of one of the best spas in the world. It was called La' Bella. I know it sounds Italian, but hey, I'm not very creative when it comes to names. My spa was in Wyoming, and my co-workers were better than anyone I could ever ask for.

There was Rosalie, the beautiful blonde masseuse that was an expert at her occupation. There was Alice the energetic, pixie-like registrar, who was a very nice girl but she could sure kick ass if she needed to, and last but not least there was Emmett, the bodybuilder who helped men here at the spa get into better shape. He was very health conscious too. Don't get me wrong, I had plenty more employees but these were my top three.

I had lived in Wyoming for the past 5 years, starting my business and earning as much of a living as I could. I kept in contact daily with my family from Forks, and my mom from Jacksonville. I loved my parents, and Jake, but I needed a break from them so my reason for moving. My spa has flourished and I get to watch it everyday. Even in the literal sense. My house was not very far from the spa, in fact, it was just a few miles across the mountain. My house was like a modern looking villa. It was big, with many rooms, and I don't even know how many acres I owned along with it. I thought about how great my life was and how my spa was making such progress. Unfortunately, I was pulled from them when Alice entered.

"Bella?" Alice's voice was a beautiful soprano.

"Yes, Alice?" I loved her to death, but she needed to get to the point quicker.

"Sorry to bother you but a family has just checked in for a whole week of the ultimate spa treatment". Her face glowed with excitement. We didn't get these kind of family stays often.

"Very good Alice. Be sure to e-mail the info." It was important to know how long they were staying, what kind of family they were, and what classes they would be taking, and so on.

Alice nodded and closed the door. I sat back down at my desk mentally preparing myself to meet the family. It was custom at La' Bella to show the family to their suite. I turned on my computer and an e-mail link popped up. I clicked on it and viewed the profile for the family.

Family name: Cullen

Members: Mother Esme, Father Carlisle, Son Edward, and Son Jasper. Age: 31, 33, 17, 17

Suite: The Master Ultra Exp. Suite.

Cost: 10,000

Wow. They were a wealthy family. I nodded in approval and stood up walking to the door. I walked down the hall to the elevator passing Emmett along the way.

"Better watch out for that Edward boy Bells, he's a real smoother". Emmett said with full authority in his voice. Emmett was very protective of me ever since an earlier client a few years back tried to rape me. I haven't been very stable since. I was still very afraid of men. Well, everyone except for my family and Emmett.

When I got into the elevator I pressed the 1 button and then pressed the "door close" button. I straightened out my black skirt and brushed off the lunch on my white, frilly blouse. I looked in the mirrors that surrounded the elevator and made sure my face and hair looked good to. I heard the elevator ding and straightened my position. When the doors opened, I walked to greet the family and was shocked at what I saw. I saw what must have been Carlisle, one of the most gorgeous blonde men I have ever seen. I also caught a glimpse of another blonde boy with blue eyes. He smiled and I immediately knew he was southern. I looked at Esme and she smiled at me and reached out her hand for me to shake.

"Hi, were the Cullen's. I'm Esme, this is my lovely husband Carlisle, my dear son Jasper, and my other son Edward." Her voice was lovely and had had a nice firm handshake for a woman. I looked at Edward and had a sharp intake of breath. He was a human version of Adonis. He had bronze messy hair, that I found extremely sexy, and deep, yet piercing emerald green eyes. He caught me ogling and gave me a crooked smile. I swore my knees went to jelly when he did that.

"L….Let me show you to your rooms," I stuttered. God Bella your such and idiot!!! Pull yourself together. They smiled at me and followed me into the elevator.

When we reached their floor I lead them down the hall to their rooms and gave them a small tour.

"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay at La' Bella." I smiled sweetly and left the room. When I reached the elevator I felt someone pull on my arm causing me to turn around and find no one other than Edward Cullen. I stared at him shocked and scared.

"Sorry to bother you miss but I noticed you looking at me downstairs and I was wondering if I could buy you a drink sometime?" His voice was os velvety and smooth but I was still scared out of my mind. I had made this a rule to all employees, NEVER TOUCH ME UNLESS I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO!!! And he was holding onto me like he was afraid I would fall if he didn't let go. Did I mention the electricity that was flowing threw my arm???

"I'm sorry but I make it a point not to go out with clients." My voice broke a few times and I know he knew.

"Sorry to bother but I think your really beautiful and I really would like to buy you a drink." His hand loosened a little but he still didn't let go. God I wanted to get away so bad.

"I think she made it quite clear she doesn't want to Mr. Cullen." said a very rough, intimidating voice coming from the elevator. I looked over and saw Emmett standing there, arms crossed and glaring at Edward so hard, If looks could kill, Edward would be into millions of tiny pieces by now. THANK GOD HE WAS HERE!!!
