DISCLAIMER: I don't own TWILIGHT or any of its characters.

I went back and fixed some things, I apologize my mind works faster then my fingers!!

My life was on track, I had everything where I wanted it, my career as a Personal Chef and Cater was flourishing, events planned 6 months to a year in advance. The only thing that I didn't have in my life was a man, although it didn't bother me, my best friend Rosalie seemed to think that it was a tragedy.

"Bella, When are you going to find Mr. Right, or for that sake Mr. Right Now?", she said as we were having lunch at our favorite Café.

"I just don't have time right now for a Mr. Right Now", I grumbled, she shook her head and laughed.

"Look over there, see those two guys, they have been staring at us for the past 15 minutes", she gestures with her fork.

"No, they are staring at you, as usual." Rosalie is absolutely gorgeous; she is a tall statuesque blonde with a rising modeling career, and a sick affection for cars that seems to drive the men wild.

"You never see yourself Bella, we are going to have to buy you a mirror, so what do you have going on this weekend?"

"I have the Cullen Corporation event this weekend, it is going to be a very large event," I said with a little smirk, Cullen Corp is one of the largest Medical Research/Pharmaceutical Companies in the world, and the fact that I was catering their annual party was something that I was so happy about I couldn't stop talking about it.

"Oh yeah, the Cullen event how could I forget, I don't think that you've mentioned it," she laughed.

"Sorry Rose, I know I have been a little over zealous about it but this is a very big deal for Bella Notte."

"I know it is, and I am beyond excited for you, she smiled, and don't forget that I am going to be there, so the food better be superb."

"Has it ever not been?" I shrieked and smacked her on the arm. "I am glad that you are going to be there, it will be nice knowing that your there, even if it is with Royce," I made a gagging motion and rolled my eyes.

"Royce, yeah I know," she rolled her eyes, "he does have his charms, just as long as he keeps his hands off of me and remembers that we are just friends; he will leave with all his bones in one piece."

"So tell me about the Cullen's," I asked while digging into my Tiramisu, my favorite dessert.

"Hmmm, well besides the fact that they are sinfully handsome, Emmett is the oldest he graduated from Yale, Jasper Graduated from Dartmouth, and Edward graduated from Harvard, they all work for Cullen Corp, Jasper has been Dating Alice Brandon since High School, and her new line was a hit at Fashion Week, Emmett is the player, always seen with a new girl on his arm, and Edward is newly single from what I hear he just broke up with his girlfriend of 2 years, and it wasn't a pretty break-up."

"Leave it to you Rose, your better the US Weekly to knowing all the hot news." We shopped after lunch Rose wanted to get a new dress for the party, after a couple of stores she bought a beautiful light blue dress with a fitted empire waist decorated with rhinestones (link on profile), it fit her like second skin, and she looked stunning in it.

The rest of the week flew by, with the all prep for the event, my staff was working long hours, I was putting some finishing touches on the Amuse-bouche, when my assistant Angela came bouncing up.

"Hey Ang"

"Hey Bella," she beamed; I had insisted my staff call me Bella.

"Ang, you look radiant, this doesn't have anything to do with a certain boyfriend, does it," Angela and her boyfriend Ben were getting more and more serious as the months went on, they had just decided to buy an apartment together.

"We found a place," she sung

"Wow, that was quick, so tell me about it."

"OMG, it is super cute, 2 bedrooms, lots of space, a huge kitchen, it is so cute, the perfect love nest."

"I can't wait to see it," I grinned, watching Angela and Ben made me wish sometimes that I did have someone special in my life, my last few relationships weren't the greatest, most of the men I dated couldn't handle my rising career, and after Tyler decided to cheat on me with his co-worker, I decided that I was going to take a break from men, and focus on my career, a year later, and I am still focused and it has paid off.

"Is there anything that you need me to do for the party before I leave," Angela asked while reaching in her purse for her ringing Blackberry.

"Bella Notte, Angela speaking," she answered, while shooting me a perplexed look. I washed my hands and turned back to face her.

"Hello, Mr. Cullen, yes sir everything is coming together quite nicely, I think you will be amazed at what Bella has put together for you, a meeting, tonight?"

I was starting to get worried, listening to Angela's side of the conversation, one of the Cullen's and I didn't even know which one was calling the day before the party, and requesting a meeting, what is the deal, I was starting to internally freak out, when I saw Angela waving at me.

"Can you meet with Mr. Cullen tonight, he has some questions about tomorrow?"

"Y-yes I stammered out, not really sure what to say, C-can he come here?" I wasn't done with everything and didn't want to have to leave to meet him.

"Yes, Mr. Cullen Bella is available, could you come over to our Kitchen, sure that time will workout just fine, Goodbye sir."

"Angela, what is going on, why does he want to meet the day before the party, Oh gosh he isn't going to make any menu changes, Holy Crow, what if he is cancelling," I was talking a million miles a minute.

"Bella, calm down, maybe he just wants to talk about the service, he didn't sound like he was cancelling," she said trying to calm me. "He is going to be here at 7, that gives you 2 hours to prepare, do you want me to stay," she asked.

"No, go home to Ben, you have to get packed and ready to start the big move, I can handle Mr. Cullen," my worry turning to a bit of anger at the last minute meeting.

After Angela left, I went over all my event notes and plans, Mrs. Cullen or Esme as she had insisted on being called, and I had spent hours planning the menu and I wanted to be sure that nothing was left out.

7 pm, on the dot the door opened and in walked a god, he was gorgeous, tall, muscular, but not overly, with bronze hair, and eyes the colors of emeralds.

"Hello," he said eyeing me with a look of surprise, as he held his hand out, "I am Edward Cullen."

"Bella," I said as I took his hand, electricity pulsed through my hand and I didn't want to let go, "Hello, Edward, its nice to meet you."

He broke our gazing, and removed his hand from mine, "I am sure you are wondering what I am doing here," he said in a voice that measured his beauty.

"The thought had crossed my mind," I said smiling, and wondering why I was flirting with him, I didn't flirt.

" yourself together Bella, just because a handsome man walks in your door, don't fall to pieces, he is so out of your league, he plays pro, your still in the pony leagues."

"I am sorry to come over so last minute, but Esme asked me to stop by and make sure that you didn't need anything else from us for tomorrow," he said staring me in the eyes again.

"N-no, I think that we are all squared away for tomorrow," great I was stuttering, great way to make a first impression.

"So what is on the menu for tomorrow," he asked looking around.

Entering into my comfort zone, "We will start the evening off with Cocktail hour and pass around trays of Roasted pepper and pesto sauce crostini, Prosciutto wrapped shrimp with basil, Pancetta wrapped fig stuffed with gorgonzola, Miniature buffalo burger with caramelized red onions and melted white cheddar on a sesame bun. Dinner will be sit-down with options of Beef - grilled and served on caramelized onions and blue cheese crème fraiche on the side, Chicken - seasoned chicken breasts, oven roasted and finished with confetti squashes & peppers and a champagne vin blanc, and a Swordfish served with a charred tomato and olive tapenade."

"It sounds amazing Bella," the way he said my name, made my knees go weak. "Where did you learn to cook?"

"I graduated from the CIA, the Culinary Institute of America, cooking has always been my passion in life," I couldn't believe we were having a conversation, and the way he was looking at me, part of me wanted to jump over the table and kiss those amazing lips, and run my fingers through his hair. I was pulled out of my day dream, by my growling stomach.

"Oh," I said embarrassed feeling my cheeks begin to redden

"I am keeping you from your evening," he said looking away, "Did you have dinner plans," he asked

"No, I was just going to go home and whip something up."

"Well please, don't let me keep you," he said, taking me hand again.

Doing a double take at that action, my heart rate quickened, "I know that this is silly, and that you being you, probably have better things to do, but would you like to join me for dinner," I rambled off.

"I would love to, where would you like to go," he asked as we were walking towards the door.

"Let me cook for you," wow where did this brazen Bella come from.

"Sounds great, let me meet you at your place, and I will stop and grab a bottle of wine," he was gazing at me again.

I wrote down my address and got into my car and headed home.

"Breathe Bella, just breathe"

EPOV

Here I am on a Friday night, making a last minute stop at the caterers, for Esme, I would do anything for her, but this was just not what I had planned for tonight, Emmett has been pestering me to go to a club with him, and it had started to sound like a good idea, after the stressful day at the office I had, the newest research project was turning out to be a bigger pain that I had hoped it would be. My work at Cullen Corporation, was rewarding, after graduating from Harvard with an MBA, Carlisle had a place for me in the family business, the business he had started after his successful career as a doctor. Carlisle and Esme had adopted me and my brothers when we were infants, and our lives growing up with them as our parents had been the best.

As I opened that door to the catering company, I saw her, sitting at a table bent over some paper work, she was stunning, pale skinned, with long brown hair that pulled back into a ponytail, as she looked up at me, her eyes were chocolate brown, with a heart shaped face and lips that were so plump, I wanted to kiss her right there and then. She felt me staring at her, and looked shocked.

"Dude, get a grip, talk to her, and don't just stare at her, its going to make her think that you are creepy."

"Hello," I said extending my hand, "I am Edward Cullen."

She looked up at me, with those wide chocolate eyes, and took my hand, something passed between us, "Bella," she had a beautiful voice, "Hello, Edward, its nice to meet you," she said, I wanted her to say my name again, and again

I unwillingly let go f her hand, thinking it would be the best, and stated my reason for being there, her response caught me off guard, she was flirting with me, could this angel possibly be interested in me, I thought as I was staring at her again, it was so hard not to.

Making small talk, I asked about the menu for the party tomorrow, and as she described each course, I could tell that this was her passion, the way she talked about the food, I found it erotic, this woman was talking about food, and I was turned on.

I didn't want her to ever stop talking, I asked her about her schooling, and was amazed.

I heard her stomach growl, and felt bad for keeping her she had obviously had a long day.

"I am keeping you from your evening," I said looking away, "Did you have dinner plans," I asked, hopefully.

"No, I was just going to go home and whip something up," gazing back at me over the table.

"Well please, don't let me keep you," I said, taking her hand again. I don't know what came over me but I wanted to touch her soft skin again.

I felt her pulse quicken, and she started to talk faster then before; "I know that this is silly, and that you being you, probably have better things to do, but would you like to join me for dinner."

She was asking me to dinner, this was amazing, I wanted to scream HELL YES, and whisk her out the door, but composed myself

"I would love to, where would you like to go," I asked as we were walking towards the door.

"Let me cook for you."

"Sounds great, let me meet you at your place, and I will stop and grab a bottle of wine," I had to call Emmett and tell him that I wouldn't be going to the club with him.

She handed me her address, and got into her car, my heart raced watching her drive away, but I reminded myself I would be seeing her again soon.

I dialed Emmett, as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"Hey Bro, he shouted, where are you, I'm at Eclipse, are you coming or what?"

"Change of plans Em, I have a date tonight," I said with a smile, I could call it a date, couldn't I.

"What, where, with whom," he asked, it had gotten quiet he had moved to somewhere more private, wanting all the details, we were close Emmett and I he was 23 and I was 22, we were adopted at the same time, so we were were close as twins, Jasper my other brother was 22 also, and we were also close, but he came to be with our family a couple years later.

"Her name is Bella," I could say her name a million times and never get tired of saying it, "She is the caterer for the party tomorrow," I told him.

"Well, then alright, but I expect details tomorrow, wait until I tell Jasper, he and Alice are here also."

"Bye Em," I said hanging up as I walked into the Wine and Spirits store. I didn't know what she was cooking, so to be safe, I bought Bottles of Red, White, and a bottle of Champagne.

Pulling up to her building, I was impressed; it was a nice part of town, I knocked on her door, and she opened it, her long hair was now flowing down over her shoulders, and she had changed into a dark blue sweater, and jeans, and she was breath taking.

"Please come in Edward," she said, smiling.

"I wasn't sure what you were going to cook, so I brought a bit of everything," I said as I set the bag down.

"I decided on Brushetta Chicken Pasta, she said as she was tossing some pasta into a bowl, it smelled heavenly, so the red wine would be excellent," she handed me to wine glasses, and gestured to the table.

"Bella, that was amazing," I said as we were finishing up dinner.

"Thank you, she blushed, do you have room for dessert, I brought home some Crème Brulee."

"You sure know the way to a man's heart," I said as she blushed again, even redder this time, it was quite cute when she did it.

Watching her melt the sugar with a torch, I opened the bottle of Champagne, as she heard the pop, she looked up her eyes a fire.

"Are you trying to get me tipsy Edward," she joked.

"Well I hate to see this bottle go to waste, when we are celebrating," I flirted back at her.

"Oh, really she said sauntering over to me, what was we celebrating," she purred.

"This fantastic meal, and the beautiful woman who cooked it." That did it, she blushed the reddest she had yet.

Dessert was heavenly, and matched with the champagne, I had nerves of steel, as she was standing at the sink, I walked up behind, and moved the hair away from her neck, she shivered as I leaned in and kissed her neck.

Turning around, I pressed my lips to her plump red lips and kissed her, like I had wanted to since the minute I had met her. Breaking the kiss, I kissed down her chin and neck, she moaned into my ear, which only made me want her more.

"Bella," I moaned, as she kissed my neck.

"Edward, I want you," she whispered, that was enough for me, I picked her up and carried her to her bedroom. Standing her up once we had reached her bed, I took her sweater off, as she unbuttoned my shirt, she was so beautiful, I kissed my way down her neck, I cupped her breast in my hand, and kissed my way down to it, as my mouth found it she moaned, and started to unbutton my pants, I laid her down on the bed, making my way down her body, removing her pants.

"Edward, she said, I don't do this normally," she met my mouth with her, kissing me hungrily.

"Do you want this Bella, are you sure?" Yes, she moaned as she nibbled on my ear, and that was the last straw, I moved my leg between hers and spread her legs, she smelled sweet, and I could feel her wetness.

She removed my boxers, and kissed her amazing lips as I worked my way inside of her, it was pure heaven, she was wet and tight, and she moaned my name, and as I started to move, she brought her hips up and moved with me, and it was perfect, we were perfect, the feeling of her climax, pushed me to mine, and as we collapsed together, her breathing was heavy, I rolled on my back, and she moved over top of me, kissing my neck.

"Edward, she purred, that was amazing, you were amazing," she moved up my neck and as she whispered in my ear, I was ready for her again, she felt my hardness press into and climbed on top of me, seating herself on me, it was a vision, her full, round breasts, moved as she rocked back and forth, her head turned up, I leaned up and sucked her nipple, causing her to rock faster, she was amazing.

"Edward, she moaned," I leaned back down, pressing my hips up into her entering her deeper, pushed her and I felt her come around me, milking every last drop out of me.

She kissed me and rolled off of me and we both fell asleep.

Waking up to her lying there, she looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake her, gathering my stuff, I wrote her a quick note, and left, I would see her again later tonight.

Until then I had some things that I needed to figure out.

BPOV

Rolling over I reached my arm out to caress him, and felt nothing, I jolted up, my head a stir from the wine, last night had been the most passionate night of my life, I had never planned on having sex with him, but wow was it fantastic.

Getting up I knew I needed to shower and get going today was a busy day, I noticed his clothes were gone.

"Stupid Bella, of course he made his escape, that is what men do, your foolish to think that it was anything more then a one-night stand."

After my shower, I dressed quickly and headed to leave when I saw a note on the counter.

Bella,

Thank you for a wonderful night.

Xo, Edward

His number was at the bottom, well I guess that seals the deal, One Night Bella, nothing more, the note didn't say, I will see you later at the party or anything, that sounded remotely similar to another date.

I busied myself with getting everything set up for the event, Angela was waiting at the banquet facility when I pulled.

"So, how was your meeting?" She asked

"It was fine, he just wanted to make sure we didn't need anything else," I said, not wanting to go any further, I was embarrassed that I slept with a man I barely knew.

The party began and I was super busy, making sure all the food went out, I removed my chef jacket, and went out to check on the flow of the party, as I usually did to make sure that the service was correct.

I was wearing a blue flowy cocktail dress, and as I was making my rounds, I spotted Rose, looking stunning, talking to a handsome man, with dark curly hair. She turned to me and smiled,

"Bella, everything is fabulous, you really outdid your self this time. Emmett, she said smiling, this is my friend Bella, she is the brains behind the delicious meal tonight."

"Nice to meet you Bella", he said taking my hand and kissing it, his eyes beaming at me, like he knew a secret.

"Oh my I wonder if Edward told him about me."

"Pleasure to meet to you, Emmett," I said, looking at Rose who was glowing.

"I need to speak to Bella, will you excuse me" she said to Emmett, he nodded, and we walked a bit away.

"Oh my god Bella, he is amazing, isn't he gorgeous," she was hooked I could tell.

"Yes, he is Rose, I smiled. But what happened to Royce"

"He got called away on business. Such a shame" she smiled

Just then a beautiful girl with black short hair that jutted out everywhere, bounced up to Rose, she was wearing a sea green, short cress that had gold through it, and bunched up on the sides.

"Oh Bella, this is Alice Brandon, and her boyfriend Jasper Cullen," Rose pointed to a tall, honey blonde male, with the bluest eyes I have ever seen, he smiled as he nodded in my direction. Alice shrieked and wrapped her arms around me.

"Hi Bella, the little pixie said, I have heard so much about you from Rose, and I can't wait to get to know you better I think that we are going to be best friends, I hear you got to me meet Edward last night," she smiled.

Rose looked at me, I shot her one of our patented looks we could communicate without words sometimes, she raised one eyebrow knowingly.

I smiled at her and made my apologies, knowing I needed to get back into the kitchen to get dinner service started.

Before I could walking away, I heard his voice, my heart leaped, and I turned around to see him, looking even more handsome in a tuxedo, I turned do that at I could see him better, as he approached the group, I noticed that he was with a beautiful brunette, with curly hair, she had her arm around his waist. My heart dropped into stomach, what the hell, did he have a girlfriend?

Rose, turned at me, mirroring my expression, I shook my head at her, and he hadn't noticed me standing there.

"Edward, Emmett boomed, grasping his brother's hand, I don't think you've met some people here, this is the beautiful Rosalie," and he gestured to Rosalie.

"Hello Rosalie, he said with a smile."

"And this Emmett continued looking at me, is her friend Bella, Edward turned, slightly stunned to see me."

Before he could say anything, the brunette, smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Jessica, Edwards Fiancée'."
