Chapter 1 –He could be the one.
Smooth talkin'
So rockin'
he's got everything
That a girl's wantin'
Guitar cutie
He plays it groovy
And I can't keep myself
From doing somethin' stupid
Think I'm really falling for his smile
Get butterflies when he says my name

[Chorus:]
He's got something special
He's got something special
And when he's looking at me
I wanna get it all sentimental
He's got something special
He's got something special
I can hardly breathe
Something's telling me
Telling me maybe
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one

He's lightnin'
Sparks are flyin'
Everywhere I go
He's always on my mind and
I'm going crazy
About him lately
And I can't help myself
From how my heart is racin'
Think I'm really diggin' on his vibe

And he's got a way
Of making me feel
Like everything I do is
Perfectly fine
The stars are aligned
When I'm with him
And I'm so into him

He's got something special
He's got something special
And when he's looking at me
I wanna get all sentimental
He's got something special
He's got something special
I can hardly breathe
Something's telling me
Telling me maybe
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one

I was sitting in my car waiting to go up to my interview with Richardson Law Firm. I couldn't find the strength do go up there. I got out of my car and walked up to the building I walked up to the receptionist.
"Hi, my name is Isabella Swan; I am here for the secretary position?"
The lady looked up at me, "ah, Miss Swan, Mr. Cullen will be right with you."

I took a sit waiting to meet the Mr. Cullen. It sounded familiar...
"Miss Swan, please come into my office." His voice sounded so bored and so mean.
I walked into his office and took a seat across from him.
"Miss Swan, was the last place you worked?"
Gee he looked mean too, but he was gorgeous.
"Well, I worked as a receptionist at the local hospital for a while."
"Wait, Bella?"
"Yeah, how did you know that?"
"It's me Edward!"
Edward Cullen, the school jock, he was like the biggest rebel and biggest player in the school.
"Oh hey," I really hated him.
"Oh come on now, I am a changed man."
I stayed silent, not knowing what to say, then he came up to me and kissed me.

I don't know what came over me but I was kissing him back like my life depended on it.
Once we broke apart our foreheads were touching, "Wow." I whispered.
He smiled down at me, "You got that right. Bella, do you want the job?"
I nodded, he smiled at me, and "You can start tomorrow after our dinner date tonight."
I raised an eyebrow, "Really now?"
He kissed me quickly, "Oh yea... here's my number be ready by 8 okay?"
I smiled, "Okay, see you soon baby."
"Baby, I like that."
Wow that was a bit fast well nevertheless ..
I laughed and walked out thinking what just happened? He is like the biggest player in the history of players! But there is something different about him... I guess I will take my chances with him, as I got in my car he called.

"Hello?"
"Baby, hey, listen can you actually start work now?"
"Now?"
"Yes, now do you mind? Today the phone won't stop ringing."
I smiled, "Sure, I'll be right up."
"Oh, do you mind getting me coffee?"
"How do you take it?"
He laughed, "Well, I take it wet and hot." Then I realised he was talking about something other than coffee
I mentally slapped myself, "Can you not? I am really sick of guys like that."
"I'm sorry Bella, get me a cappuccino, two sugars."
"Okay, no worries Edward- I mean Mr Cullen."
He laughed, "We are informal here baby, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
"Bye." I hung up and ran across the road to get his cappuccino as I was walking in a girl tripped and spilt her coffee all over my shirt.
"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry!"

I helped her up, "No worries have a nice day."
Once I got the stupid cappuccino I ran back to his work station give him his coffee.
I walked into his office and he laughed, "What happened to you?"
I slammed his coffee down and raised an eyebrow at him, "You really want to piss me off, after your little comment earlier?"
He looked sympathetic, "Sorry, what happened?"
"A girl tripped and spilt coffee on me."
He pulled me into a hug, "Oh no, here go into my bathroom get cleaned up and I'll get you a new white shirt, what size?"
I must have looked confused, he smiled at me, "We have emergency clothing for the girls and guys."
I nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll be in the bathroom, oh and don't forget to knock."
I sat on the bathroom floor, is he going to be a distraction? I really need this job. Oh man what will my neighbour say? Isn't against policy to have a relationship with your boss? I sighed, it really didn't matter I guess, I did like him, I just hated him to cover up how I felt about him, a knock on the door brought me out of reverie, I quickly went to the door and opened it, "Can I have the shirt now?"

He smiled, "Can I have the shirt now what?"
I groaned, "Can I have the shirt now, please?"
He handed me the shirt, "I'll be waiting out here, I need to show you what to do, and I am swamped today."
I nodded and shut the door, quickly put on the shirt and tucked it into my high waist skirt, I walked out of the bathroom and he whistled.
I giggled, sheesh I'm such a 14 year old, "What?"
"That shirt is better than your beige one." I smiled and mumbled thanks.
He showed me to my desk and gave my work laptop and his appointment book he set up my phone and gave me a mobile work phone so if I don't answer my normal one he can contact me or anyone from the workplace could.
"Okay, now every time you answer this will get annoying, but you need to say it, hi, Edward Cullen's office how may I help you today?"

I tried, "Hi, Edward Cullen's office how may help you today?"
He smiled widely, "You look so cute when you do that."
I looked up at him, I raised an eyebrow, and the look he gave made him remember our yearbook 'Isabella Swan, most likely to be hated to be called cute.'
He coughed, "I mean look sexy when you do that?"
I laughed, "We will work on it."
He walked back into his office to let me get settled.
A girl walked up to my desk, "Can I help you? Do you need to see Edward?"
She laughed, "No, when his busy like right now no one wants to disturb him."
I nodded, "Hey, I'm Isabella, but you can call me Bella."
She smiled, "Hey Bella, I'm Stefania; I am Edward's ex, he is a good guy... I just wasn't the one."
I raised an eyebrow, "Stefania, why would I care?"
She huffed, "His secretaries usually know about his love life, so I thought I would let you know."
I shook my head, man this girl was something, "Thank you, but I really don't need to know about Mr. Cullen's, past, present or future love lives."
She walked away sulking like a five year old.

BRIINGGGGG!!!!
I jumped, that phone is going to shock me heaps.
"Hello, Edward Cullen's office, how may I help you today?"
"Hello, I am confirming an appointment?"
"Of course, may I get your name?"
"Bella, get your ass in my office." Edward laughed.
I giggled, "I should have known. I'll be right there."
I walked into his office, "Can I help you?"
He smiled, "Yeah, let's go."
What? "Go Where?"
"Out. We are done for today."
I frowned, "But I just started!"
He laughed at my expression, "Come on, you can have an all day tomorrow." He pulled on my hand to lead me out of his office.
I stopped, "Let me pack up my things."

I quickly put the laptop in its bag and then in my country road bag (A/N: If you guys dunno what country road is it's a brand here in Australia), and shoved the appointment book in there to make it look better, his writing was a disaster.
We stood in the elevator, he put his arms around me, "Bella, you want to know something?"
I looked up at him, "What?"
All of a sudden the elevator stopped and the lights turned out, I freaked.
"Edward?" I squeaked.
He held me tight to his chest, "Relax, let me call through the emergency phone."
He took it off the hook he sighed in frustration, "The lines out, it must be a city blackout."
I hated blackouts. They were one of the reasons my parents died. I started to sob quietly in Edwards's chest until he realized I was crying he sat me down on the floor. Just holding me, not asking any questions, he knew why I was crying, he was one of the few people who knew how my parents died.
I finally calmed down, "I'm sorry I got your shirt all soaked."
He pushed my hair out of my face, "Don't worry about my shirt, are you okay?"
I sniffed, "I will be can you just hold me?"

He nodded.

He held me tight to him and I ended up on his lap. Why is he so sweet? He never cared about anyone but himself, in high school he was the guy that slept around with any girl that he found 'hot' or a 'hot piece of ass'. I looked up at him, "What were you going to say before?"
He smiled, "I was going to say, the reason the way I was in high school was because I wanted your attention, I really liked you in high school, and I still do. Every time I was with a woman I kept thinking of you..."
"Okay, that's sweet and creepy at the same time," I leaned my head against his chest.
"You know, I could get used to you on my chest like that." He rubbed my arm with his hand as if to calm me.
"Get used to it."
He laughed, "Come on let's try the emergency phone."

BRIINGG BRIING!!
I laughed, "I think it called for us."
He quickly answered, "Yes.... About for 2 hours..... Yes Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan.... 10 hours?! WHAT FOR?? Okay fine. I guess we will sleep on the floor." He hung up angrily he sat back down next to me.
I got behind him and gave him shoulders a massage, "Baby, you have to relax... if you think about it, we are spending more time together..."
He sighed and relaxed his muscles, "Your right babe. If you keep doing that I will be asleep in no time, so please as much as I don't want you to, please stop."
I settled down next to him, "Edward? Do you think your phone will work?"
He handed me his phone, "Yes, do you need to call someone?"
I grabbed it off him, "No, just checking the time," 6pm Great.
He held me closer, "I'm so tired, and can we sleep now?"
All of a sudden I felt uncomfortable, I did like my personal space, but I didn't want to hurt him.

"Bella,"
I looked up at him.
"I will keep my distance if you want babe, I want you to feel comfortable."
I smiled and pecked his lips, "Thank you,"
We both fell asleep wondering if anyone was going to get us out of here before tomorrow morning.

I woke up to the elevator screeching to move, I got up and tried to wake up Edward, "Baby, wake up..." I shook him gently, I gave up on trying and I slapped his shoulder.
"Hey! What was that for?" The elevator had stopped moving.
He sighed, "Let me see if they can get us out now."
For the third time he went to the emergency phone, "Hello, Yes we are still stuck in here Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan... we have been sleeping on the floor, 5 minutes? Thank God! See you soon Officer Hewitt."
He came up to me and hugged me tight, "We are getting out of here sooner than we anticipated."
I laughed, "I know, I heard."

"Bella, can I ask you something?"
I smiled, "You already did. What's up?"
"I want us to act like this all the time... I don't want our relationship not to be known in the workplace."
I looked up at him, "Are you sure? You aren't embarrassed by me?"
He looked me in the eye, "I could never ever be embarrassed by you honey,"
I settled into his chest again, "Good, because I don't think I could keep my hands off you for a full 8 hours."
He laughed resting his head on my hair, "I am so glad I have that effect on you."
I froze, I didn't usually move this fast... I like him a lot but it is so hard for me to open up.... I just can't trust people so quickly.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.
"Yes..... No, I think we need to slow down a bit...." I didn't look at his face I was worried of his reaction; I didn't want him to think I was being an idiot.
He lifted my face up with his finger, "I understand it's okay.... Listen tomorrow.... or today after this is all settled I will take you to dinner. How does that sound?"
I smiled, "It sounds perfect."

"EDWARD? ISABELLA? ARE YOU TWO OKAY?" a voice echoed making me jump.
Edward answered for us, "Yes, is there a way to get us out of here?"
"Isabella how much do you weigh?"
"Yeah, I am around 52 kilograms (which is about 115 pounds) Is that light enough?"
"Perfect! Honey, I need you to climb through the emergency vent there we will get you out and we can send someone down to get Edward out, Edward you might need to help her get up to the vent."
Edward looked at me, "Are you ready?"

I nodded, he lifted me up I opened the vent and saw a rope I held on to it and they pulled me up.
"Isabella, are you okay? You need to go with into the ambulance-"
"No! I will wait for Edward!"
"Miss Swan, with all due respect, it is for your own safety."
"No! You said it wouldn't take long I am going to wait." I crossed my arms over my chest.
The man gave up telling me to sit down.
When I saw Edward come out of the shaft I launched myself into his arms I was scared, scared that he was hurt, scared that something bad happened to him.
"Shhh baby, I am fine, I'm here I am perfectly fine." He continued to soothe me in soft whispers.

The health workers tried to get me off Edward, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed.
Edward held me closer, "Listen we are fine, if we are acting up we will come straight away." He persuaded the doctors.
Edward took me to his car, "Baby, do you want to stay with me for now?"
I nodded, I nearly lost him. No matter how slow I wanted to go, he was so close to dying! It just can't happen again. It just can't!
He got into the driver's side, holding my hand the entire drive to his house, when we got there I realized that I needed him, no matter how much I wanted to go slow, I needed him in my life, if I don't have him who would I have? My thirty year old neighbour? I didn't know how much I needed Edward until right this second. If I didn't have him right now I think I might die.
