Prologue

"Rose, why am I even here?" I asked in frustration. "You know I have to get back to Katie. This was a mistake."

"No you don't," she stopped me. "Katie is having a fun night with her grandpa. Come on Bella, you have to stop using your daughter as an excuse for everything."

"I don't do that." I agrued again.

"Yes you do," she eyed me. "I can't go to the bar because I have Katie. I can't go shopping because I have Katie. I can't date because I have Katie. Ever since you had her, you've put your own needs on hold, we've talked anout this."

"That's what you do when you have a baby," I protested.

"Yes, but Katie is almost four now," Rose pointed out. "You haven't dated anyone since before you got pregnant with her and you haven't gotten laid since... well that night. So that's why you're here, to get out for one night, and have some fun. Besides, its not like I dragged you out to a bar, it's only our house for crying out loud and you look damn hot. I was right about that dress."

"Ugh, fine, whatever," I huffed. "I need a drink."

"That's my girl."

Two beers and two shots later, I was buzzed, and feeling really good. Rose was right, it had been too long since I let loose and had some fun.

My life was centered around my little girl, and while I loved her with all my heart, I rarely thought about myself anymore. I had a good job teaching third grade and I was able to buy a small house for Katie and I. I was twenty six years old and for the most part, I had my life together, except for one thing.

Love

After having Katie, none of that mattered. I had her, and she was my priority.

Letting out a breath, I stood to my feet, and walked back to over to where the beer was. One more couldn't hurt.

"Hey Bella," I heard Emmett say.

"Hi Emmett."

"Glad you could come out tonight," he said. "How's my little lady doing?"

"She's good, she's with Charlie, ' I replied.

As we were talking, my attention went to a shadow in the kitchen doorway. As I looked up, my eyes locked with his, and I could swear my heart stopped.

His dark green eyes met mine mirroring my shock.

How was he here in Emmett's house?

It had been over four years since I last saw him, since we shared that one night of love.

Oh Snap!

I'll leave you with that to think about for now...

Chapter one to follow.
