Ok, so i've had this idea and I'm going to put this into play. I've done a story with the vampires and now I'm going to just have some plain old human interaction. I hope you're ready for this!

Chapter One : Bella Swan
o0o
And here we go again. I got myself into the same shit old routine each darn day. I get up, shower, get dressed, eat a pop tart, catch the train to work, work, catch the train home and sit in front of the tv watching some saps falling in love; whilst eating a tub on Ben and Jerry's. Oh I left out the part where the only interaction I get is from my 2 year old cat, Maurice.
I miss the days of living with my father, yes – he was at work a lot but at least I had an excuse to cook dinner for someone other than myself.
And it was that time of the night where I sat my ass down on the couch, got the only two men I loved, Mr Ben and Mr Jerry and indulged into watching shit. I wore my grey sweat pants and hideously patterned tank top and let my mind wonder and carbs let loose on my body.
It didn't take long for me to get interrupted which was strange as I never have visitors at this time of the night. I thought about running and getting changed, but the effort was too much and I really couldn't give a shit who saw me like this.
I slowly dragged my body off of the couch and made my way too the door; unlocking the locks once I got there. I opened the door to a familiar face that lit up with excitement. Well, until her eyes wondered down my body and a little frown took over.
"Oh Bella" Alice sighed as she took in my fashion sense. Alice was my best friend. No, my only friend and she was the best only friend I could ask for. It was also strong that she was very fashion orientated and always wanted me to be wearing the high street trends and in all honesty – that wasn't me.
"Alice! What are you doing here?" I asked as I stood aside and let my little pixie inside my apartment. I watched her as she noted the blanket and pot of ice cream left on my sofa. She cocked and eyebrow and started laughing.
Alice was wearing a perfect fitting, black cocktail dress with matching shoes and clutch. It looked like someone was going out clubbing.
Oh shit.
"Well Bridget Jones" she laughed some more, I rolled my eyes " We're going clubbing"
Tsk. I, Bella Swan does not go clubbing and when I have it's only cause this girl here has pulled me out of my apartment limb by limb.
"Alice, it's a Thursday – who goes clubbing on a Thursday?" I asked – it was a reasonable question. Thursday's are for wishing it was the weekend but not actually doing any weekend activities.
Alice rolled her eyes, " Bella... Pur-leaseeeee! We need fun and I know a club" she came up and grabbed my arm " There might be some hot guys too" And she was doing them puppy dog eyes and I knew I couldn't win.
"Urgh" I let out and she started dancing around my little living room.
"Let's go find you an outfit, Bridget" and she pulled me to my bedroom.
My closet was not big and it wasn't fancy – of course there were a few dresses and they were only there fore special occasions.
"Hmm. Try this one on" Alice ordered me and she handed me a navy blue dress that I had got for going to my friend, Jacobs graduation. I walked into my bathroom and flung on the dress. I admit I liked this dress, it clung to all the right areas and definitely showed off my curves. My face was pale and it definitely needed some work before I left my humble abode.
I walked into my bedroom and Alice started clapping excitedly.
"Yes, yes yes! And she chucked some black shoes at me " Okay put them on then sit down. I need to work my magic on you, Miss Swan" and I sat on my bed and let her weave her magic.
After what seemed like forever, Alice has completely transformed me and now I looked passable to leave my apartment. My face was glowing with make up; but not a tone of it- Alice applied it so I still looked natural. My hair was hung to my lower back in tight knitted curls with a few strands around my face. I'm not going to lie, Alice can definitely make me look hot.
"Let's go find us some men" Alice chimed and we walked out of my apartment; leaving Maurice asleep on the sofa I was planning to spend my evening on.
The club was a twenty minute walk away and being as clumsy as I am, I think I nearly fell over 6 times in my high heels. Eventually Alice just gripped my arm the whole way and we laughed in hysterics over that.
The club Alice had recommended was called, "Love Bites" - the sign was lit up in red neon lights on a black background. Immediately this felt like a weird assed club and I wanted to run back into the arms or Mr Ben and Mr Jerry but I could feel Alice's hand on my back pushing me through the entrance.
The club was dark and as expected it was hardly full on a Thursday. There were a few people but it wasn't crowded. Alice and I made our way to the bar and she ordered us a Vodka and coke each. I started to take in the club and wondered if Alice had brought me to some weird Gothic cult. The club was black with red lights everywhere. On the ceiling hung small plastic bats which I thought was funny. The music was of today's hits but that didn't really go with the vibe. I saw a dj desk but no dj. I just seemed like a low rented club and I was probably right.
We sat at the bar for a few minutes but then Rihanna's "shine bright like a Diamond" came on the sound system and my hand got pulled out it's socket on the way to the dance floor. Other people obviously enjoyed this song and made their way to the floor. Alice was dancing excitedly, swishing around and sway her hands in the air. I couldn't help but laugh and just joined in with her. I admit, this was too much fun and I'm glad she took me here. The song ended but we stayed on the dance floor a little longer.
"Oh can we go sit? I feel like my feet are dying" I shouted to Alice over the music and she nodded. We found a table in the corner of the club, with our drinks in hand we sat down and started gossiping about how much fun we were having.
A tall guy with blonde hair walked over to us, he was clearly a bar tender as his shirt read, "Love Bites" in red writing over the chest.
"Hello ladies, I have this drink for you" and he looked at me and placed the drink on the table.
"Oh" I replied
Alice was practically bouncing out of her seat. " who from?" Alice chimed enjoying the awkwardness that now radiated through my body.
"The man situated at the bar – in the grey shirt" and the bartender walked away.
I immediately turned my head to see the man in question looking in my direction. Oy, I wasn't expecting him to look so... hot. He had bronze hair which quiffed at the front. Even with the bad lighting I could see a slight tint of green in is eyes. His smile was dazzling, his dress sense was on board. And why was he buying me, average Bella Swan a drink? I picked up the glass and took a sip. I looked in his direction and mouthed thank you, with an added eyelash batter and stared back at Alice.
"Oh my god, Bella" and I knew she was about to explode. I felt this smile spread across my face, Me, Bridget Jones – I mean Bella Swan, has just pulled a god like looking man. And I was smug. Real smug.
"i know" I laughed in reply.
"Maybe you should go talk to him" Alice insisted. And I shook my head. He may be attracted to me physically but no way in hell would he like me in any other way.
"No, I'm too shy"
"Well, okay, I'm just going to run to the bathroom, will you be okay for 4 minutes?"
"Yeah" I replied. It's not like I was going to get murdered... though this club did look dodgy...
After a minute Alice had left I was looking for my phone in my bag when an angelic voice spoke to me.
"May I sit?" and it was that god like man again. Taking advantage of me being alone. Do I talk to him? Do I dare let this heavenly looking man talk to me whilst my alliance is busy making herself look even more gorgeous in the bathroom?
"Sure" I suggested and he sat in the space Alice left a few minutes ago.
And he was more beautiful up close and his eyes, them sparkly green eyes could grab me and take me away.
I was staring, I know but I couldn't help but think why this beautiful man was talking to me.
"I'm Edward" he started and I wanted to cry with how perfect his name was. I have always loved the name Edward, it's so old fashioned and romantic. Is this strange to think this? He was a stranger after all.
"Bella" I replied and his smile was perfect and I knew that this was probably the best decision I'd made tonight.
