1Just a very quick author's note: I have had two stories in the past that 1) I have become bored with or 2) have ended with me not knowing what will happen next. I need some advice for this story and I'll need a beta too 1) because I type fast and I usually don't go through any of the mistakes and 2) I really want to go far with this story I think it's a really good idea and I will probably enjoy writing.
So any ways tell me what you think of this story. Your feedback is what keeps me going=]

Bella's POV
I had known exactly what kind of love I wanted and with what kind of man since I was a little girl and during the time period when I was obsessed with story book princesses. I always looked for my prince charming and he had to be exactly it, no if's, and's, or but's about him. Of course, finding my prince charming took a lot of work and a lot of effort. This guy needed to be committed like Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, he had to be as sweet as the beast in Beauty and the Beast, and of course he had to be as charming as Prince Charming in Cinderella.
The only drawbacks to what my man had to be like were: 1) I had no idea where to find this man 2) I had no time to date what with my job at a publishing company and number 3) I was a plain jane so even if I found that wonderful man he would never stay with me.
The only men in my life consisted of my dad, Charlie, my best friend, Jake who is just my best friend tried that out once it never worked out, and Emmet, my loving big brother type person brother of one of my best friends, Alice, and boyfriend of my other best friend Rosalie. Of course both Alice and Rose were gorgeous. Always getting numbers off of guys, getting free drinks, and of course getting the most outrageous kinds of flirting ever thought of to the male species. They both were taken, Rose of course with Emmet, and Alice with her history loving, shy, and still handsome Jasper.
All of these people deciding that one night they were going to set me up on a date like they knew everything I wanted, well yes they kind of did since I never shut up about my fairytale man, and also sick and tired of my mopping. So tonight I was being forced to go on a date. Well of course after being forced into an overly expensive dress and being forced to play Bella Barbie with Alice and Rose for hours on end.
"Oh my gosh, Bella you look amazing" Esme, mother of loving Alice exclaimed after my not so amazing decent down the stairs.
"Of course she is, mom, Rose and I worked on her make-up all day! How could she not look amazing?"Alice wailed.
"Uh thanks I guess, though it would help to know who I am dressed up for and where I am going" I said
"Bella, patience is a virtue and you know that curiosity killed the cat." Rose said while descending the stairs looking like a super model.
"Yea? Will Patience can kiss my ass and satisfaction brought that dumb cat back, Rose" I shot at her.
"Hey! Do you wanna see this gorgeous man I hooked you up with or do you wanna act like a 5 year old some more?"Rose said while giving me a daring look.
"Fine where is this 'gorgeous' man you 'hooked me up with' at?"I asked
"He's right here" A velvety voice said from behind me.
Turning around and finding this new voice I gasped. There right in front of me was my Prince Charming and I couldn't even find the voice to introduce myself to him.

Edward's POV
"Alright son, now next time think before you act. You're becoming an usual." Chief Charlie told me for the sixth time this month.
"I'll make sure to remember that next time sir. But, you have to admit you like having me here."I said while collecting my things.
"Hey! I never said I didn't like having you boy. You just need to figure out the right from the wrong. I guess it will come in time. Right?" Charlie responded.
I snorted "Right cause all the other times you've booked and jailed me haven't taught me a single think old man." I shot at him
"Who you calling old man? Pup? You haven't experienced anything outside these cells. Go out tonight with a pretty lady and take her someplace nice. Oh and don't forget to say she looks pretty and open the door for her too, That usually softens them right up and they'll like you no matter what by the time you drop her off at her house." He told me.
"That actually sounds like a good idea Chief Swan." I said "See an overnight and some free advice this just might be my lucky day!"
Chief Swan just laughed and waved me goodbye mumbling something about much of a drunk I am and how I should seek some help. Well Chief Swan you don't know how much I need. The only reason I get in trouble so much is cause of that shady ex-girlfriend of mine, Tanya. Ha! Love what a joke. She didn't even know the meaning of love. Of course she knew how to make it, just didn't know how to be in it.
After the death of my loving parents, Tanya was always there for me. Staying late at work to comfort me and say how much they loved me and how proud they were of me. Never thought she would just do me to get a better job. Well now looking back I can see why she would sleep with the boss. Stories to tell her friends, the corner office her enemy wanted, oh and the enjoyment of telling me she was only in it for work and not for love. What a load of bull.
But, what Chief Swan didn't know was that I did have a date tonight and with a pretty lady nevertheless, well pretty was an insult the words beautiful, gorgeous, amazing wouldn't even do her justice. For I Edward Anthony Masen Jr. had a date with the Bella Swan. The same Bella Swan who was a workaholic, thought she wasn't even pretty, and was the police chief's daughter. Oh boy! I hope to god Charlie doesn't mind his daughter dating a "drunk". After Rose pointing her out to me I decided I would go on a date with her and I would let her see the poor and depressing side of me in time. Cause I knew from just standing outside of a restaurant and looking at her, that she was someone I could see myself with even thought I had a broken heart was too messed up to begin to even fix. That I would make sure she knew every morning she woke up how special was and how beautiful she was. And I would fight any man for this woman and hurt any man that ever hurt her. I was falling in love just thinking about her and I hadn't even met her yet and she didn't even knew I existed.
Driving to Bella's friend's house, where we were to meet, I felt my hands turn sweaty and my throat begin to close. Come on Edward! I told myself You're 23 years old now not 13. After pulling up to the house and giving myself such an amazing pep-talk, ha yea right, I got out of my car, took a few breaths, walked up the steps and knocked on the door. You can do this. Give her what she deserves! Let her see the true you! Hey that was better!
"Oh my god." Some pixie looking woman exclaimed after opening the door. "You must be Edward. Wow you are Bella's Prince Charming. Ha! Wow Rose was right."
Prince Charming? Shit! I'm everything but charming.
"Oh! I'm sorry I'm Alice a friend of Bella's and of Rose."The pixie- I mean Alice exclaimed. Wow hyper much?
"Uh yea I'm Edward Masen. Pleasure to meet you. Is Bella ready by any chance?" I asked
"Oh yea she is you should see her she looks gorgeous!"When didn't she look gorgeous?
I walked into the house only to be face to face with what looked like a boulder.
"Hey man! You must be Edward. I'm Emmet."The rock-Opps Emmet said. "Yea so cutting to the chase now; you hurt Bella at all and I will make sure you never get to have the pleasure of sex again. Go it?" Emmet asked
"Yea man, I mean I would never hurt her. So you won't have to worry about uh the second part there." I said nervously. God how old am I? 13 or 23?
"Good! Cause I like you and you and Bella man! You should see her!" Emmet said
"Yea yea yea. She looks gorgeous. Did you give him the you hurt her I'll depleasurize you speech?" Another man asked. God what is up with these men and wanting to make sure I can never have sex?
"Oh yea and of course he gave me the I would never hurt her wimpy speech. What is wrong with men these days Jazz?" Emmet asked the man named Jazz
"Ha! Women happened to the men Em. I'm Jasper by the way and I'll help Emmet here if you ever hurt Bella. Go it?"Jasper asked
"Yea I got it. Is she ready?"I asked yet again.
"Fine where is this 'gorgeous' man you 'hooked me up with' at?" I heard an angle, my angle, ask. Being bold I decided to introduce myself at last.
"He's right here" I said to Bella's back
As soon as Bella Swan turned around I knew right then in there I was in heaven and I never wanted to go back to hell.
