I do not own these characters, I am not really following the book. Edward and Bella are in the mind of Stephenie and I am simply changing them a bit. Edward and Bella Story. ALL HUMAN.

I normally dislike the human stories of Edward and Bella but after a particularly delicious dream a few nights ago, I have developed a craving to write a story for the two of them. No vampires.

Feel free to review and tell me how I am doing or what you would like to see. ;)

Tastefully Mine

Oh my God, where is it?

I'm so dead if I can't find it.

I frantically searched the lines of documents for any sign of my drafts.

Nothing.

What am I going to do?

I've worked on this book for months and just my luck on the day it's due, I go to send it and it's gone.

I tried not to cry.

I was so screwed.

My panic was interrupted by the shrill sound of my phone ringing.

I jumped, surprised at it's sound.

Taking a moment to control my voice I picked up the receiver.

"Hello"? I asked gingerly.

"Bella, baby! Where are my drafts sweet stuff?"

Oh great, just what I needed. My stupid publisher.

"Um, Emmett", I began.

"There is a problem".

The phone went silent.

I took a deep breath and proceeded to explain how my computer has mysteriously eaten months of work and that it was missing.

"Can I have some extra time, I have my notes, I'm sure I can get something together by in a couple of weeks"?

I knew he would say no, I knew we were on a time line but I was still hoping.

"Bella, you know I can't, but I've got a friend that might be able to help, he is a computer whiz, if he can't find it we will go from there. His name is Edward, here is the number".

I grabbed a pen from my desk and jotted down the digits. "Give him a call, meet him today and call me when he finds it". "Thanks Emmett, I owe you one". I hung up the phone, throwing up a quick plea, please let him find my stuff.

I grabbed the paper from my desk with the numbers and slumped down in my chair with the phone.

I quickly dialed the numbers, throwing up another plea that he could find my lost book. I used the sounds of the ringing to calm my nerves. My stomach was in knots.

"Hello"?

"Um, Hello, Edward? My name is Bella, Bella Swan. I got your number from Emmett. I am having some computer problems and and I've lost a very important document. Please tell me you can help me."

I could have jumped for sheer joy when he said he could meet me this morning.

I rattled off my address and hung up feeling a slight flicker of hope.

I looked up at the clock, 9:15, crap, my deliveries.

This was not my day.

I grabbed the phone again.

"Hey, Jake, I need you to handle deliveries this morning. I'm not sure when I will be in, my stupid computer lost my book and of course it's due today".

I could hear him laughing through the phone.

"It's not funny Jake" I replied.

"Bella", he said laughing.

"You have the worst luck of anyone I know". I scowled at him.

"Ok, Ok, Bells, I got it. Don't worry about it. I can unload some trucks without you."

"Fine Jake". I said "I'll be in later".

I would never admit it to him but I was glad he was around. I knew that my deliveries would be safe and put away when I got in and that was a huge relief to my raging nerves.

I paced my office staring at my computer, the root of all of my problems today.

"Stupid computer" I mumbled.

I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the screen and glanced down. I was still in my pajamas.

I rolled my eyes.

Nope, not my day at all, I thought as I padded quickly to my room.

I glanced at the clock again. I should have enough time for a quick shower.

Bzzzzz!! The sound of my doorbell rang through the house.

Freakin' great, I thought, quickly trying to dry the water from my body.

I grabbed my robe and threw it around my body running for the door.

I jerked it open.

Whoa.

Time stopped for a second.

There stood a god, an Adonis standing before me.

My eyes raked over him from his tousled brown hair to his broad shoulders down to his feet. He was gorgeous.

"Bella?" He asked questioning me.

"I'm Edward, here to check out your computer".

"Oh uh, yea" I stuttered bringing me back down to earth.

"Sorry, I didn't know you would get here so soon".

"Obviously" he replied looking at my robe. He looked up and gave me a crooked smile.

Oh, I could melt.

"Can I come in?" he asked.

"Oh, sorry. I said. Of course you can".

I turned quickly and pointed towards my office. It's in there, I said walking towards the open door. My foot caught on the rug beneath me and I stumbled forward. I felt a strong arm reach out and grab me.

"You OK?" he asked concerned.

"Oh, yea, I'm fine". I said smiling.

"If you knew me you would know I'm always doing stuff like that".

He chuckled and pulled his hands through his hair.

Soooo, gorgeous. I thought to myself.

"Anyway, like I was saying. The computer is in here".

I passed through the door and pointed towards laptop on my desk.

"I'm going to go and get ready, let me know if you need anything" I said.

"I'm good, he replied.

"What am I looking for?"

I laughed. "I should probably tell you that".

I opened my notes and pointed towards the document name. "It's my first cookbook and it's due today". I explained.

"Cookbook" he said chuckling. "I love to eat".

I smiled, "You should come down and check out my restaurant then. It's The Carolina down on 2nd street."

"You own The Carolina"? He asked.

"Something like that", I replied.

"My dad actually owns the place but I run it and I'm the chef as well."

"That is pretty awesome, he said. I've heard of the place but I've never been. I'll have to check it out."

I hoped he would.

He looked down to my computer and flipped it open "Now lets get this book". I smiled again and quietly padded out of the room hoping that he could find my work.

Edward POV

Long dark brown hair, large chocolate eyes, and her slim figure. I would have to thank Emmett for giving her my number later.

I thought back to the sight of her disheveled appearance.

I was shocked to see the door open and have someone sobeautiful standing there clad in what appeared to be only a robe, her dark hair soaking and hanging in an array of twist and curls.

I chuckled to myself as I opened the recycle bin and found the document she was looking for.

I was a bit disappointed it wasn't something more extensive.

I could have done this from the phone but I would not have met this beauty so all was well.

I pulled a disc from my pack and saved the file to it.

"Bella'? I called out.

"I found it and saved it on a disc for you".

I heard her squeal from another room. I laughed when she bounded around the corner and threw her arms around my neck. I turned my face to her and breathed in her scent. The smell of strawberries and cream invaded my senses.

"Thank you" she exclaimed pulling back and looking in my face.

I felt my breath catch in my chest. We stood staring at each other for what must have been only a couple of seconds but it felt like hours. I wondered if she felt the electricity between us that I felt running through my body.

She pulled back abruptly.

"Sorry about that" she said nervously. "I'm just so happy you found my work, hold on just one second if you don't mind".

She sat down at the computer and typed for a few moments before getting up again.

"Sorry, I wanted to go ahead and get that to Emmett before it left again".

I laughed still standing where she had left me.

I wasn't sure if I could move.

She smiled at me again brightly.

"I truly can't thank you enough, you are a life saver".

I was just about to tell her it was nothing she could not have done herself when she continued.

"Come to the restaurant tonight. My treat, we close at 10. So if you come around 10:30 I will cook you a special meal to thank you. Unless that is to late of course."

"No, not at all. I replied probably more quickly than I should have.

"I'll be there." I would be there anytime. I had to get to know more about this woman.
