-Chapter 1-

The First Meeting (Bella's POV)

I was standing in front of the camera as Edward directed me to pose. My long brown hair was curled by Alice, and I was wearing sky-blue halter bra top maxi dress that went until my ankle.

"You can just pose naturally, Bella." He said and chuckled when he saw me posed awkwardly.

I sighed. "Can we take a break? I'm a bit tired."

He nodded and smiled, then went to shoot our surrounding.

I sat on the tree trunk. We're in a meadow, that only our group knew. We found it when Emmett insisted us to go hiking a couple of months ago. I looked to where Edward seemed preoccupied by his camera. I had known the boys for 1 and a half year now. I closed my eyes as I remembered the day we first met.

"Alice, I thought you said you're going to meet Jasper." I said warily.

She nodded her head, "True!"

"But why are we here?" I asked her again. Rosalie, who sat on the passenger sit giggled.

"Because Bella, he's still in meeting. So, I can't meet him." She talked as if I was a 4 years old.

I sighed and leaned my head against the car's window refusing to get down just yet. Alice rent a car here, and said something about it's easier if we're to go anywhere.

We came from New Zealand to Venice for a couple of days, because Alice wanted to meet her boyfriend, Jasper, who's here for some businesses for a month.

Actually it has only been a week since Jasper departed. I couldn't understand what Alice felt, she missed Jasper every second although they had only met half an hour ago. Guess I wouldn't understand that. I never dated. I only had a crush when I was in high school but I never told that guy that I liked him. Even now I'm 21, in college.

I hardly ever met Jasper, although Alice, Rose and me lived in one apartment. Usually Alice was the one who met Jasper in his office. Or else, they would meet outside. I thought about how many times I'd seen Jasper. 3 times, and they had dated for 2 months.

"Let's go!" Alice chirped happily.

I glanced outside the window again and wished we're somewhere else. Alice and boutiques just clicked too well that she could pass hours in them. She had said something about having her own lines and boutique later after she graduated from her fashion designing major.

Anyway, Alice didn't tell Jasper that she would come, she wanted it to be a surprise, she said. So, we checked in the hotel Jasper had stayed. Unfortunately for me, Jasper was in a meeting that resulted in us being here.

I hesitantly came out of the car, and being dragged by Alice and Rose. We spent 4 hours in the boutique, with both of our hands full of bags by then. Luckily, after the 4 hours of shopping, we headed back to the hotel right away.

We called for room service, and ordered something for our lunch. By the time we had finished our lunch Alice called Jasper and asked what he was doing. When he said that he was in his hotel room, Alice quickly said goodbye, and hung up. Poor Jasper must be really confused.

Alice rang the bell of his room, which was only a few rooms from ours. Imagine the look on his face when he saw us in front of the door.

Yeah, his jaw dropped when he opened the door and Alice practically jumped at him.

"What're you doing here?" Jasper asked.

"Visiting you, of course." Alice simply said.

"Well, that… explain everything." He chuckled and asked us to get in.

"Who's that, Jasper?" A voice called from inside the bedroom and then a big guy appeared at the door. He's muscular- but not fat- with curly brown hair.

"Emmett, let me introduce you to Alice Brandon, Isabella Swan and Rosalie Hale." Jasper said, while Emmett eyes landed on each of us. Strange enough, I felt his gaze landed longer on Rose.

"Bella." I corrected Jasper.

"I'm Emmett McCarty." He smiled widely, which showed us his dimples. He walked to the other couch in front of ours and sat there.

"Where's your other friend, Jasper? Didn't you say you're here with your 2 other friends?" Alice asked her boyfriend.

"Oh! He's going for a walk somewhere around." Emmett was the one who answered.

"I will go back to our room first, okay? See you." I said to them after a while.

It's a few minutes past six, so I decided to take a bath. As I got out from the bathroom, Alice and Rose walked through the door and told me that we would have dinner with the boys outside. They took a bath and we went to the lobby to meet them. They had rent black newest Mercedes Benz that could get 5 people inside. We left the hotel and soon enough, we arrived at the restaurant.

"Table for six." Emmett told the waitress. The waitress looked up from where she was doing her job, and her eyes widened as he saw the boys.She quickly composed herself, but failed. She then led us to a table in the corner.

"Six?" I asked Emmett. He sat beside Jasper, who sat beside Alice. Rose and I sat on the other side.

He nodded, "Yes, Edward will be here in a while."

"Edward?" Rose asked this time.

"My other friend." Jasper said.

As if it was the cue, a tall man with deep emerald green eyes and strange bronze colored hair came. He was handsome. Oh no, scratch that. He was gorgeous.

"Hello." He swept his eyes to all of us and smiled.

"Edward!" Emmett boomed.

Edward chuckled and I felt my heart melted a little at his voice.

"Edward, this is Alice Brandon, my girlfriend. Rosalie Hale, and Isabella Swan." Jasper said.

"Bella." I corrected him. Again, which caused Jasper and Emmett to chuckle.

"You've corrected him twice, Bella." Alice said, and Rose giggled.

"It just happens that I prefer Bella." I ignored her. Edward looked at me with amusement in his eyes.

"Edward Cullen" He said and nodded to us. He sat at the only available sit that happened to be beside me.

"Hello, are you ready to order?" The waitress asked, looked around at us, and gasped when she saw Edward.

Well, I guessed all girls would have that reaction to him. We told her our order and she got away, almost reluctantly. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her.

A few minutes of talking and our food came.

"Anythingelse I can help you?" She asked, her eyes on Edward. I felt Edward shifted uncomfortably beside me.

"We're okay for now." I said to her, smiling.

She huffed and went away.

"Thanks." Edward said suddenly.

I looked at him startled. Did he just talk to me? I thought as I blinked my eyes several times.

He chuckled, "For helping me with that waitress."

"No problem, I guess?" I said, but it came out as a question because honestly, I didn't really do anything.

He shook his head in amusement. "What do you do, Bella?"

"I'm in college, as the same as Alice and Rose." I said. "What do you do?"

"I'm a photographer. I don't work for certain company, though. I shoot what I like and I kind of held an exhibition."

I nodded my head, but then I felt all eyes were on us, so I looked at my surrounding.

"Edward is a famous photographer, Bella. He's just moved to New York, but he's well known in almost every country." Emmett said proudly as if he was talking about his son.

"Wow." was my brilliant respond.

"So what do you do, Em?" Rose asked Emmett.

I frowned, 'Em'? Since when did she give him that nickname?

"I worked in the same advertising company with Jasper, since you know, it's our parents'." He said.

"How old are you?" I asked them. I had known Jasper was 24.

"I'm 25. Edward is 24, the same as Jasper." Emmett answered me.

"How do you know each other?" Rose was the one who spoke.

"I met Jasper in the company which was 2 years ago. Half year later, we met Edward when he was in Paris and me and Jasper went there for meeting." It's Emmett again who spoke this time.

I nodded my head and we resumed eating then.

When we had almost finished our meals, the waitress came again and asked the same thing as the last time she came.

This time, I scoffed in front of her and she glared at me. Because honestly, we all knew what she meant when she asked, "Anything else I can help you with?" It's not like she's asking that in a subtle way.

I just smiled sweetly at her and put on my –Rose's words- innocent face and batted my eyelashes at her. I even heard Edward chuckled beside me which made the waitress stomped away from our table.

Rose and Alice high-fived me. Let's just say, she didn't come to our table again after that.

Review is very much appreciated.

There'll be a little differences in every chapter,

and maybe i'll change POVs once in a while.
