The last two months of my life has been wonderful, perfect, beautiful, and any of those other positive words that came to mind. Two months ago to the day, I married my best friend, lover, and my boss. Yeah I know you're not supposed to fall in love with your boss but I did anyway. I guess you can call me a rule breaker or a slut. Either one is fine with me.

Getting back to the subject at hand, I fell in love. My husband is a bar owner in downtown Chicago, Illinois. I remember being fresh out of a small town and trying to get my way through school. I was 22 and running to a big city, trying to get away from my problems. I was looking for a job to try to get back on my feet.

Some people believe that if it storms the day you are hoping for something, it won't turn out good. I don't believe that because, for me, it was the best day of my life. The day I got a job working for my husband, it was storming and I was running out of luck. Every job that I applied for turned me down. The last thing on my list was a bar. I didn't want to work at a bar. I knew what happened at some bars and I didn't want to get involved with that but when you don't have anything, you cannot be picky. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

The rain was coming down hard as I was walking down 21st Woodland Avenue. The grey hoodie I was wearing was doing little to keep the water off me. Every so often, I looked down at the directions I had on my phone to make sure I was going the right way. Ten minutes later, I saw a sign saying Cullen's. I looked at the times at the door and saw that it was about fifteen minutes until closing time. I was cutting it close.

I walked in and saw a good looking blond man wiping off the counter. I could see all the tattoos he had on his arms. I was sure that he had others under his clothes. As I was walking over to him, he looked up and smiled.

"Hey little lady, what can I get ya?"He asked. He didn't seem at all bothered that it was almost closing time.

"Um," I said as looked around. I saw that we were the only two in there. "Actually, I was wondering if the manager was here. I would like to talk to him about a possible job."

"Sure little miss. I'll go tell him but while you're waiting here's a drink on the house," he said as he sat a Bud Light on the counter and walked off to the side door that said 'Employee's Only'. I took a couple of sips of my drink as I waited.

The blond man was only gone for a few minutes before he returned. "Alright little miss. The big boss man is ready to see ya. Just head through that door and head to the end of the hall. You won't miss it." I nodded my head and headed for the door that he just came out of. I did just like he told me. When I got there, I knocked on the only door that said Boss.

I only waited for a second before I heard an attractive male voice telling me to come in. I walked in slowly, taking everything in. The walls were painted a dark blue and there was a small white sofa that looked very comfortable. I also notice that there was a large bookshelf that had hundreds of books on them. I ache to pick up one of those and sit on the sofa with a cup of tea.

"Curious little thing, aren't you?"

I was interrupted by the man sitting behind the desk. The man was the most beautiful man I have ever seen. His hair was a unique color. It reminded me of a brand new penny. His eyes, though I couldn't tell the color, I could see that it was dark. The man features were that of a serious and well respected man. It made me little scared but mostly curious. I wanted to know everything there is to know about this man.

"Yes, I guess I am. It's one of my best qualities. I take it you're the big boss man?" I asked as I took a seat in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

He chuckled and replied "Yes, I guess I am. I hear your looking for a job?"

I nodded "I am. I'll take anything. I just need something."

He smiled "Well, how good are you at waitressing?"

I quickly answered "I use to work as a waitress at a small diner in my home town. I am very good at it. I also am a fast learner."

His smile widen "Well Miss…"

"Swan," I informed him.

"Well Miss Swan, your hired," He said.

I was so excited that I jumped up from my chair "Oh thank you Mr…"

"Masen," he informed me.

"Masen," I replied "You have no idea how much this means to me. I promise not to let you down."

"I don't think it's possible for you to let me down, Miss Swan. One last thing though, call me Edward. Mr. Masen was my father and that's the last person I want to be," He told me.

I nodded "Very well. I will call you Edward as long as you call me Bella."

He smiled "Well, love. Welcome to Cullen's."

That was three years ago. Since then I had been working at Cullen's. Everyone was great to work with. I became great friends with the bartender that was working the night I first stepped into Cullen's. His name was Jasper. He told me how he and Edward had been friends for so long that they considered themselves as brothers. He told me all the things they did when they were younger. I don't think I ever laughed so hard in my life.

I was also great friends with another waitress who worked there. Her name was Alice. She is what I call a bunny on steroids. She is so hyper all the time. Her doctor had to ban her from drinking any caffeine. Of course she doesn't listen and drinks it anyway.

I also got to know Edward more. I learned early on that his eyes were a dark green, that he was a great reader, and that he could play the piano. After closing some nights, he would play on the piano that they had for music nights. I loved to hear him play. It was the first thing that made me love him. He would be so serious when he played that you would think he was heading off to battle or something. It was so memorizing.

Edward also learned things about me. He learned that I came from a small town called Forks and that I also was a great reader. We would spend hour just talking about books. Sometimes on my breaks or really slow days, I would go to his office and sit on his sofa with a book while he worked on whatever he was working on at the time. I knew there was something to his job that I didn't know about. To this day, I don't even know but what I do know is that he loved me then and he loves me now.

I knew I loved him during the first month I worked there. For him it was even shorter, or so he tells me. He told me that he fell in love with me when I first walked through his office door. I'm not sure that I believe him.

"Bella," Edward sighed, breaking me from my thoughts. I smiled from where I laid, which was bedside him. I love watching Edward sleep. Sounds stalkerish, I know but in my defense, he does it too.

As I stared at his beautiful face, I started to get lost again. This time it was the day that he told me he loved me. It was about two years after I started to work at Cullen's. It was storming again and it was a slow night at the bar. Edward had let everyone off early but I offered to help him and Jasper close. After an hour of cleaning, we were done. Jasper waved good night and had left for the night. I had my bag in hand and was almost out the door. I had stopped walking when I heard music. I smiled because I knew that it was Edward playing the piano. It was late but I knew I couldn't pass the opportunity to listen to him play.

The way he played was beautiful. It was truly memorizing. Once he had finished, he just set there with his eyes closed and a slight smiled on his face. I don't know how long he set there or how long I watched him.

After a while, he spoke "Curious little thing, aren't you?"

I smiled, recalling the first words he spoke to me. "It's one of my best qualities," I replied as I walked to where he was. Edward patted the empty spot that was beside him, silently telling me to join him on the bench. I did what he wanted. I would always do what he wanted. "Your playing is beautiful," I told him.

He smiled "My mother taught me how. She explained to me that music was an emotion and that it would be a crime not to feel it."

"Your mother sounds like a smart woman," I said.

"She was. She died when I was 10. I promised her that I would always play even when I didn't want to. For a while, I couldn't play passed the first note but I kept trying because I made her a promise."

"I wish I could have met her," I replied sadly.

"She would have loved you," he told me.

We were quiet for a moment before I spoke "If she was here, what would she tell you?" I wondered.

He laughed "She would tell me to grow a pair and tell the woman I love how I feel."

I felt my heart break. He was in love with a woman that wasn't me. It hurt so much. In that second I imagine what she would look like. Beautiful, had the body like a super model, blond hair. She would be the perfect woman. At the time, I didn't realize that he was looking at me when he spoke.

"What is she like?" I asked.

He smiled "She perfect, at least, for me. She's kind, beautiful, hard-working, and creative. I can me myself spending the rest of my life with her."

"Why haven't you told her how you felt? I can't imagine her turning you down. You're like the perfect man," I asked.

He through his head back and laughed "Oh Bella, I am far from perfect. Love, there is a lot of things that you don't know about me. I didn't tell her how I felt because I'm afraid of rejection. Not to sound cocky but I'm pretty sure I know how she feels about me. The reason that I haven't told her is because I am a dangerous man. I may not seem like it but I am. But Bella, I am a selfish man and I can't keep my feeling in any long."

At this point, I was confused and I made my confusion known "Edward, what are you trying to say?"

He sighed "Bella, stand up," he ordered. I did what he said and he soon followed. "Bella, I love you. I am in love with you." I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand in shock. I never would imagine that he loved me. I must be dreaming. "The day you walked into my office was the day my life changed forever. I thought I was complete with my life but clearly I was wrong. Please Bella, please tell me that you love me too."

I was crying at that point "Oh Edward, how could not love you. You make me so happy. I love you so much." He pulled me up into his arms and kissed me with so much passion that I nearly fainted. It was the greatest kiss I have ever experienced in my 25 years of life. I knew that this was the man I would die loving. I could already see our kids running around. I wanted this future so much that I could taste it.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of my husband's voice "Love, you're thinking too loud. It's keeping me from sleeping," he told me with his eyes still closed.

I laughed softly "Sorry dear, I'll try to keep it down."

Edward rolled over so that he could face me "Morning, my beautiful wife," he whispered.

"Good morning, my wonderful husband," I whispered back to him. He put his hand to my cheek and leaned in to kiss me. It started out softly but it quickly turned to something more. He pulled me on top of him so that he could have better access to me. His lip moved from my lip to my neck. I was breathing heavy at this point and I could tell that he was also.

"Baby," he gasped out between kisses "Let me love you." I had no complaints. His lips moved back to mine and kissed me slowly but passionate. As his hand started to roam my body, there was loud banging on our door. We groaned in disappointment and pulled away from each other.

"Damn it. Why now?" Edward said as he pulled the pillow over his face. I laughed and got out of the bed. I quickly put on my blue silk robe and went to answer the door.

When I opened the door, I saw the last person I wanted see. Well, second to last. "Hello, Bella," said the person at the door.

"What the hell are you doing here, Rosalie?" I asked angrily. "I thought I made it quite clear the last time we saw each other that I never wanted to see your face again."

Rosalie looked down at her feet "You did but, Bella, I need your help," she said.

I was seconds from closing the door in her face "Why in the world would I help you? Whatever trouble you're in, I'm sure you deserve it."

She sighed "You're probably right, as usually but there is one person that doesn't deserve this."

"Who?" I asked impatiently. I just wanted her gone.

Rosalie sighed and said "Bella, I'm pregnant."

My eyes widen in shock and shook my head. "Alright," I said, after the shock faded "Come in and we'll talk."
