Chapter 1
It was another rainy, overcast day in Forks, Washington. I have been basically stuck in the house since moving here the day after my junior year ended in Phoenix, Arizona. My mother, Renee had just remarried over Christmas break and struggled with wanting to go with Phil and staying home with me. I decided that at the end of the year I would move in with my Dad, Charlie. And so to the ever rainy and cloudy town of Forks I went just two days after the end of my Junior class. I had two more months to go before starting my Senior year and was running out of decent books to read. Forks had a limited library, if it was even worth being called that.
I sighed and started up the second hand computer Charlie had gotten for me. Renee had requested it so she would have a way to leave me emails and I would have a way to do the research that would be needed for school. I ran down stairs changed over the clothes in the washer and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. By the time I made it upstairs the computer was up and running. I found what I was looking for in a short time. The bookstore even included a coffee shop. I wrote down the address and called Charlie at work. He wasn't in so I just left word that I was heading to a bookstore in Seattle and would be back before dinner.
I had browsed the book section for over an hour, finally settling on a biography. "Why not." I thought. I paid for the book and wandered into the coffee shop. I stood in line behind a guy with bronze colored hair and a dark chocolate jacket. From the door I heard a few other people enter the little shop behind me. As I waited I glanced back and noticed it was just a few immature boys acting idiots. The calmed down for few seconds once behind me, but started wrestling again soon after. Then just as the guy with bronze hair turned, the guys behind her bumped her sending her right into the poor guy and his coffee.
Lucky for me the man was able to hold his coffee steady as he also steadied me. "Are you okay, Miss?" asked the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
"Y-yes. I am so sorry. The boys behind me, they were uh goofing off a-and…." I trailed off after I noticed how green his eyes were.
"Please, let me get you a cup of coffee. What would you like?" He asked.
"I couldn't possibly let you buy me coffee, I am the one to bump into you." I laughed as I looked forward at the lady waiting for me to order. I told her to give me the vanilla cream latte and went to reach into my purse for my wallet. When I looked up the bronze haired man was already paying for my coffee. He looked down and smiled at me sheepishly. " Sit with me? Please?" he asked. Well what else could I do. His green eyes pleaded with me and I finally nodded and followed him to one of the corner booths.
He set our coffees down and then reached over taking my chair and pulling it out for me before seating himself. " I am Edward, by the way."
I stared for a moment. Who was this man? "Oh, uh I'm Bella." Oh how lame of me. Here I am sitting with the most gorgeous man to walk the earth and I can't even tell him my name without stuttering. " Are you from around here?" I asked taking in a deep breath. Wow. He smelled so nice.
"No, I just moved a little community a little ways out of Port Angeles. I am hoping to get a teaching position at one of the nearby schools."
"What do you teach?"
"English Literature. What about you? Do you live around here?"
"No I live closer to Port Angeles too. In Forks. Well it's about two hours away. English Lit.? I was thinking that I would major in English." I rambled on. I picked up my coffee not knowing what to say next.
"Hmm, maybe we could meet up then sometime. In Port Angeles. Have coffee again?" He smiled down at me seeming a little amused.
"S-sure." I mumbled before I could think of good excuse. I mean who would willingly want to drink coffee with me. Plain ole Isabella Swan.
We talked for a few minutes until we both had finished our coffees. We exchanged numbers and then I stood up noticing the time. " Thank you for the coffee. It was nice talking and all, but I really need to get back."
"Oh, okay Bella. Drive safely. I will call you later this week and maybe we can meet for coffee again?" Edward said giving me the most dazzling smile yet.
I smiled back feebly and nodded then walked to my truck. Did I really just agree to have coffee with him next week.
