This is just one of my few ideas that i loved. as an author you dont always love the things you write and most of those ideas end up in the bottom of a wast basket......So enjoy the idea i loved
As I drove toward work my phone rang an all too frequent ring tone that i had set to warn me that alice was indeed calling. I decided I would le it ring seeing as how it was most likely about something her wonderfull boyfriend had, reminding me of my non-existant love life.
I pulled into my usual spot in front of the book store that I work at. My phone went off again so I decided to answer it this once.
"What do you want Alice I am just about to go into work!" I was mad. It was the forth time this week that she has done this.
" Well Bella if you would answer the phone the first time I call you would not be at work, and we would have had time to talk about your mom comming in from Arizona next week!" she yelled through the phone.
"What are you talking about she is comming this week?" I had already talked to my mom this morning, but aperently I forgot to tell Alice of the change in plans,
" What! Why was i not informed of this?"
" It must have just skipped my mind." I clamed nonchalantly knowing that that was not going to fly but I had to get into work or Elizabeth was going to kill me. " look I have to let you go we can talk when i get home from work but untill then i have a job i ned to be at right now." and with that I hung up and stepped out of my rusty beat up old chevie.
Once inside I got the look from Angela that said I was still good as far as being on time. One minut more and I would have been in the back room staking books all day like I had four other times this week on the count of Alice. No today Lauren was late and I was out of the back room manning the checkout counter. Angela was in-charge of the coffee stand today and the store was paced with all sorts of college kids buying books for school ar getting coffee to stay awake during school.
I myself have been in that position many times this year. As a college student you dont really have time for all those parties that are trown which is why most students come to get coffee in the mornings. Because they stayed to late at a party and the worlds bigest hangovers. I however stay up way to late studying seeing as how I am a pre-med student. I want to be a surgean, it has been my dream since I was young.
Alice, my overly excited friend is the reason for this. Well more like her dad Carlisile is the reason for this. He made me want to do this and all through middle school and high school he game me medical books to read. I was the kid he always dreamed of when he wanted to have kids. one who would follow in his foot steps. Only i was not his chiled and my dad pointed that out to him on a regular basis.
My dad Charlie got alittle mad when i told him what i was gong to school to be. He felt that I was betraying him as a daughter and not following his foot steps and becoming a cop. But I was never one for guns. My brother Emmett joined the Ary straight out of Highschool when he came home he joing the police squad in portland. My dad was so proud of him and so md at me when all I wanted to do was save lives.
But here I sit doing homework at the store where I worked to pacialy pay for school. Carlisile pays half, that all started when dad refused to pay for the tuition of portland state. I insistedIi worked for the other half and Carlisile was okay with it seeing as how I told him that I would respect the education I recived more if I payed for some of it.
Alice never had a problem with me being her dads favorite. She is an only chiled and was spoiled by her mother when she was young and decided fastion was her thing. Since Carlisile had me to look forward to he had no problem with it
When we started school here I got this job out of pure guilty pleasure. I love to read and decided to take one engish class so that one day I could write my one medical book just like Carlisile. I have been working here since and it has been three years.
Elizabeth has never fired knows I'm a good worker and aside frome Angela I am the only sain one who works in this place. The only other people who dont get fired are not college kids, other than that it is some one new every week.
" Bella may I see you i my office for one momment dear?" Elizabet asked in her, this is not a question this is a 'I want you in my office now, not three minuts later' voice that she normaly uses on other people but not normaly on me.
As I stepped into her small office I noticed a young man who looked strangely like her sitting of to the side of the room, waring a crooked grin on his face.
" Have a seat Bella and stop looking like I am going to fire you. If I did I wuld loose Angela to and then I would go insane." we both laughed and sat down.
"Bwlla this is my son Edward, he is going to be working with us for no untill he payes off the damage that hecaused to his dorm when he through his wild little when I say little I dont really mean that it was little or else there would not be so much damage done" Elizabeth Yelled at her son.
" I was wondering if you will babysit him at work so that he does his job right. You know teach him how to stack the books tag the books, run the coffee grinder, and espreso machien." I nodded my head knowing that this was not really a question more like she was telling me what my new job was going to be till he got the hang of it.
"Also, Bella i know this is alot to ask but I know you and Alice Have that three room apartment and I was wondering if starting next week Edward could move in with you two. I know it will be odd and all but His father and i dont have room at our house anymore since we now house studendts and all the rooms are full. He will help pay rent and everything." She looked at me with pleeding eyes.
"Umm I will have to ask Alice about that and if she says yes then it will have to wait because my mother is flying in for the weekend." I stated and with that she sent us out of the office and I was left with a really hot man in front of her office with me.
