Hello!

I had this idea in my mind for a while and I thought,what the heck,write it down and see what happens. It's my first attempt so be a little patient with me :)

Big thanks to my best friend and beta shinyunicorn for actually having the patience to read whatever I send her and pushing me to upload this.

Chapter 1

He saw her out of the corner of his eye.

She was sitting at the bar, sipping on her drink. Red wine from what he could see.

He felt like he knew her, but then again, he was certain he didn't. Wouldn't he remember meeting a creature like her after all?

She looked radiant in a pale mauve dress that flawed gently at her hips while she was sitting.

He couldn't avert his gaze. It was like he was caught in a spell.

As if she had sensed his stare, she turned hesitantly to his direction and their eyes met. She blushed. And he, he was even more mesmerized.

He uncertainly got out of his seat and approached her.

"Hello" he said. "I'm Edward. May I sit?" he gestured to the bar stool next to hers.

"Um, hi. Sure. My name is Bella."

"Bella. Beautiful."

"Very original." she laughed. "Every single guy who talks to me says the same thing."

"I doubt they mean it as much as I do."

"They all say that, too. But it's ok. I won't hold it against you."

"Thanks" he chuckled, "now I can sleep soundly."

"Yes. So…What brings you here Edward?"

"In the bar? I had a very tiring day at work so I thought I'd drink something to relax me. What about you?"

"Well, I got stood up by my best friend. She was supposed to come meet me but she obviously found something better to do..."

Edward was so focused on her lips as she spoke that he spaced out and she had to snap her fingers in his face to reclaim his attention.

"Hey, are you drunk? Maybe you need to go home and rest and not keep drinking .You seem out of it."

"No, no, sorry. I'm ok .Are you from around here?"

"No, I moved here a couple of years ago for work. You?"

"Oh, where are your roots then? I grew up here in The Big Apple."

"Well, my roots are not in a certain place. I grew up with divorced parents and moved around a lot. But I finished High School in Forks, Washington, so that's what I'd call home. I'm still getting used to New York. It's a chaos compared to quiet Forks." she giggled.

"Yeah, I suppose it takes some time."

He noticed that she had started fidgeting and looking at her watch every few seconds. "Hey, do you have to leave? Don't let me keep you. I'd feel bad about it."

"Actually, I do. I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I have already stayed more than I should have. It was really nice meeting you, Edward. Goodnight." she said, hurrying to get up.

"Wait! Will you come here again?"

"Maybe…See you around."

And like that he was left there looking at her retreating form and thinking how stupid he must have seemed. He didn't even think of getting her number.

So he'd just have to wait-and hope-that she would show up again one night.

He was sure he would not be able to sleep that night, though. She would dominate his every thought and keep him awake.

He was confused .He didn't even know the woman and she evoked feelings in him he had not felt in a long time. Feelings that he had tried very hard to suppress and forget after…

No. He couldn't think about that. Meeting Bella was something he didn't want to darken with his memories…Memories he really longed to forget.

But they couldn't help but affect him. There was a very high chance that her angelic looks were deceiving, as it happens very often. He wanted to pursue her. But he was scared. What if Bella hurt him like she had? Would he manage to survive it?

He didn't have an answer to that. But he knew he was very willing to try.

Because sometimes it's worth it.

I know it's quite short but it's a prologue of shorts,although not really.

I hope you liked it.

Please review :) It will really help me.

Thank you lots :)
