I don't own Twilight. SM does...I just like to play with her characters!

It's a hot day in July in Arizona and after a stressful day while working at the Garden, I want nothing to do but hang out and relax with my boyfriend James .Unfortunately for me James isn't answering his phone which is no surprise to me. I can only think that he is off with one of his "buddy's wife" as he likes to tell me. I met James from my co-worker Lauren who used to be my Best Friend. At the time that I started talking to him, he was doing a tour in Iraq. He was also dating Lauren but seeing it that Lauren didn't know how to keep her legs close, she ended up getting pregnant by one of the cooks from work before James got back state side. To say what happened between Lauren and me, I have no clue. One day she was talking to me and asking for her help…next thing I know she puts a lovely large blade behind my back and spreads rumors at work.

I drive by James apartment in my old Chevy to see if he is at home but as I pull up his fancy mustang is nowhere to be seen. Since I don't want to go home, I send Jake a text to see if he has any plans. Jake is another co-worker of mine but we're more like friends with benefits. At first we didn't intend to have this type of relationship but our weekly lunch dates turned to one thing and another. I'm not dumb when it comes to what James is doing. I just came to a point where if you're going to fool around then I might as well. Jake is also a soldier like James but because his ex wife is draining him of child support, he is working at the Garden for extra money. As Jakes texts me back saying to come over, I already know I'm going to be able to release some stress even if it comes from the hands of a man who is 10 years older than me.

September 2008

Things with James haven't gotten any better. I haven't been over to his place in over a week and as much as I hate to say it, I think we are done. We hardly communicate and when I do get a text message from him, it's usually a drunken text saying I Love You. As I sit here in my bedroom wondering why I didn't go out with friends, I open up my laptop and get onto Facebook to see what is going on in the social media world. I'm about to play a game when I notice that I have a friend request. I know for sure that I don't know an Edward Mason but what automatically wins me over to accept his friend request is that he is a man in uniform. As much as I hate admitting it, I sure do love me a man in uniform.

After I hit accept, I take a look on his profile. He states that he just separated from his wife and has a 5 month old son. I try to see if he has more pictures but unfortunately he only has one which is his profile picture and he is dressed in full battle rattle so it's hard to see his face. I notice he is on so I decide to send him a message and find out more about this Edward Mason. He replies immediately and from there we get to knowing each other more. We chat for about 2 hours and right as I'm about to get off my laptop and go to bed, he sends me a message.

Edward: So when do you think we can meet in person?

Hi everyone, so I decided to give it a try and see if I could write a story. I will try to add the next chapter ASAP!
