Shiver
Chapter 1
I was glad to be back in Seattle.
Living in Miami for the past five years was nice, but I missed home.
I was ready for my new position with Volturi Publishing. I was asked to be their TOP editor. To say I was surprised was an understatement. I'd worked my ass off at the Miami Herald since college and had been sending out my resumes for the past two years and finally a bite, a HUGE bite.
They were paying for my entire relocation, which was pretty easy. The place I rented in Miami was furnished, so I just had my clothes and a few personal items to move.
They'd also gotten me a condo and furnished it, everything I'd picked out. They did this all in two weeks. To say I was impressed, that was an understatement. And the salary they offered me, I was set.
My parents were glad I was moving back, even though I was four hours away, I wasn't on the total opposite side of America.
My best friend since diapers lived in Seattle with her husband, and my ex-boyfriends brother.
Rose and Emmett had been dating since middle school, they were the real deal. If I ever found Mr. Perfect, I hoped we ended up like that.
They owned several car dealerships in the area and told me they'd hook me up when I got back in town.
I'd talked to Rose and she had been going to the condo and checking on things for me, my parents were picking me up at the airport, I hadn't seen them in almost a year.
"Bella! Oh my goodness. Could you have gotten any more beautiful!" my mom shouted.
I blushed.
"Thanks mom. But, I don't think there are any single, rich men with in ear shot." I joked as always with her.
"Your mom's right Bella. You've gotten more beautiful since we last seen you." My dad smiled.
I just laughed as we walked out to the car.
"So, Esme and Carlisle will be in town, maybe we can all get together for dinner." My mom smiled at me.
"Mom, I haven't seen them since my junior year of college. That was five years ago. That's why I moved so far away." I sighed.
"Not HIM Bells, just them. Esme wants to see you so bad. And you'll be spending time with Rose and Emmett, you're bound to see Ed…" my mom was saying.
"Stop, please. They've reassured me that they don't see him a lot. His job doesn't allow it. And I'm sure SHE doesn't either." I spat.
"Bella…" my dad was starting to protest.
"No, really dad. I'm fine. I dated a few guys, no one serious. I just want to focus on work. Promise." I smiled and he dropped it.
As we pulled up to the condo, my jaw dropped. I had no idea it was in such a wonderful building.
And walking inside shocked me more. All of my request had been met, all I had to do was put away my few personal belongings. And the books my parents had brought from my room at home.
We ate dinner and chatted about my job and what they'd been up to.
They settled into the guest room and me into my new room and had a bubble bath in my jetted tub, before falling to sleep like a baby.
AN:
Yes, yes… Another one!
They were screaming at me today!
Read and Review… But mostly ENJOY!
