For those who guessed correctly, yes. This is inspired by the movie 'Stranger Than Fiction'. Kudos to those of you who guessed it. Well, here's the first chap. It's basically the preview I gave with just a little more. Hope you like it!

Everyday was the same monotonous thing; Get up for work at 7.15 am. Snooze for another five minutes before getting up and brushing my teeth. Then, at 7.29 am, I would tie my tie. I have many ties but they are all exactly the same; the same mundane shade of maroon.
I then took the elevator down. "See ya, Henry!" I waved to the security guard at the lobby.
"Good day, Mr. Mason," he chuckled.
I left off for work in my silver Volvo, going through the similar processes. When I got there, I, along with many other people working in the building, got into the elevator. Through the thick crowd, I reached over and pressed the number '18'.
Floor after floor, the elevator rose, occasionally stopping after two or three floors each. Slowly, the crowd inside the elevator began to decrease and I could finally breathe again.
When I heard the 'ding', I got out and walked to my cubicle. "Hey Emmett, Jasper," I greeted. They had the booth's beside me and across me.
"Hey, man. Look at you. You need to go out more. Find yourself a woman," Emmett half joked. It was true, and I admit it. I had no social life. Nada. Z-E-R-O.
"Yeah," I grunted distractedly, mussing the hair on the back of my head. I sat down and began doing my work.
It was nearly lunch break when I heard a herd of giggling girls approach.
"Hey, Edward. We were just going out for lunch. Wanna come with?" Lauren asked, winking at me. I nearly barfed.
"No thanks. I've got a lot of work to do," Nice.
"Yeah, okay. Maybe next time," she said, not taking the hint. I have been turning down her and her friend, Jessica for the past two years. Can't they take a hint?!
Ben approached my cubicle holding two folders "Here, you and Emmett decide which one you want," he said, handing the folders to me.
"Thanks, Ben,"
Emmett snatched the folders from my hands and looked through them.
He handed me one. "Here, take this one. You need to socialize with the ladies more."
I took the file and looked through it. The woman in the picture was beautiful. She had brown, flowy hair and depthless brown eyes.
"Dude, you've got a bit of drool coming out the side of your mouth," Emmett said, looking at me weirdly.
I finally snapped out of it and discreetly wiped the bit of drool pooling out. "Uhh, I better get going. Later, Em."
"Dude, we're going to Jasper's for dinner. You'd better be there or i'll be forced to set you up on a date with the Mallory machine." Emmett smirked.
My eyes widened. "Wouldn't miss it," I replied meekly. There was no way, ever, that I was going on a date with Lauren. I'd rather go bald.
I got into my car and headed to Port Angeles. I looked at her file again. It seemed that she owned a small ice-cream shop. I finally arrived at the shop and got out of the car. When I enetered the shop, the bell on top of the door rang with a 'ding'.
When I got in, I saw her.
Her picture didn't do her any justice. She was handing a young boy who was no more than ten his ice-cream, smiling warmly down at him. Her gentle brown waves of hair were tumbling down and her eyes were the most stunning shade of brown, drawing me deeper each second.
The boy and his mom thanked her and left the shop, causing another 'ding' to flow in the air. But then, she turned towards my direction and acknowledged my arrival and her once happy face turned into a scowl.
But what more can you expect when you work as an auditor, one of the most hated people in America?
Yup, that's it! Just a first chapter. I'll be updating this story when I finish up with 'Is This Love?'.
Reivew and tell me what you think.
