My second attempt at writing..
This fan fiction is just a fast paced little love story. Warning does feather Older Edward and younger Bella. So if you don't like those sort of stories, then this wont be for you. Rated M for later Chapters.
Story line
Bella is a 23 year old that works with her best friend Alice in Alice's interior decorating company. Having been the subject of too many of Alice's blind date disasters Bella takes the advice of another friend and delves into the world of online dating. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to find her other half. Youngella Olderward M for future chapters
Chapter 1
I want a relationship with a man who actually loves me for who I am, and who I can love for who they are. Ok so I'm still a little sceptical that nice guys exist given my last experience even if it was a few months ago. It doesn't mean that I have given up all together on the male species but lets just say that guys my age just don't seem to run on the same wave length as me.
Sitting in bed with my laptop, I skull down the rest of my glass of wine before loading up the dating site Rose recommended to me.
What type of man would I like to meet. If I put that I'm 23 in search for a man of 30 or over I'm sure it will attract the wrong kind of man. What if I lie and say I'm 30 looking for a man that's 30 or over that should weasel out the duds that are just looking for a young easy girl. I let out a giggle at the irony that I'm wanting to meet someone faithful yet I'm already lying about my age. I guess at least I'm younger than what I'm saying.
Ok so here goes nothing.
Name: Bella
Sex: Female
Age: 30
I can help but giggle typing that in.. The wine must be well and truly working me into my tipsy stage now.
Profession: Personal Assistant
State: Seattle
Likes: Cooking, Travelling, Art, Music, Reading, Walking
Dislikes: Turkish Delight, chic flicks, Salad (on its own)
Describe yourself: I'm an only child, I'm clumsy and I blush far too easily. I work with my best friend and I draw and paint in my spare time. I can't stand shopping I'm more of the walk in, get what I want and walk out, kind of shopper. I would rather spend that time searching for amazing cafés and restaurants that no one knows about.
Looking for: I honestly don't know. I don't want to make a list of must haves and mustn't haves.
Photo(s):
Crap, that's right I have to attach a photo. But won't it be obvious that I'm not 30? Oh I know. Alice took a photo of me a few months ago when we went to La Push, I'm wearing a light blue sun-dress and my hair is down in beachy waves and I'm trying to hide my face from Alice's happy snaps, I think it makes me seem a little older.
Ok.. Here goes. I press save to my profile and go and pour myself another glass of wine to ease my nerves.
"Wake me up, before you go go!"
Urgh.. Whose calling me so early?!
"Hello?" I mutter into my phone.
"Bbbeelllllaaaaahhh! Don't tell me I woke your lazy butt up!?" Alice says with a little giggle.
"Far out Alice.. It's way to early and before you ask no I'm not going shopping with you" I grumble rolling over and shielding my eyes from the sun.
"It's 10.30am Bella hardly 5am in the morning" she laughs. "Come on Bella I need your advice on some clothes!" She sulks. I know if I could see her I would be looking at her tell-tale pout.
"Nope. Sorry I'm dubbing this day 'National Bella stays in bed day' " I laugh snuggling into my blankets. "Besides, you and I both know you don't need my advice, you just want me to be your excuse for Jasper when he asks why you've bought more clothes" I giggle.
"Bella, he doesn't give me that look when I say I had to get you some new clothes for a date" she grumbles.
"Yeah because he feels bad about the blind dates you keep setting up with his friends or co-workers.." I reply forcing my body to sit up on the bed as I rub my head.
"Bella... Pretty please...?" She begs.
"Nope, your on your own Alice" I laugh as I hear her stomp her foot.
"Your no fun, I'm gonna have to start interviewing for a new Best friend" she taunts.
"Alright I might even find a few applicants to fill my place for you" I say back trying to hold in my laughs.
"That's not nice Bella" she sooks.
"Alright well I'm going to get off the phone so you can pester Rose" I reply.
"Ok, have a boring day in bed!" She taunts hanging up. I can't help but love that little ball of energy. We couldn't be more different but she's the first person I would call if I needed someone.
I stagger out of bed stopping to stretch out and regain my balance. Going into my kitchen I get myself a tall glass of water and some pain relief to rid me of my slight hangover.
Swallowing the last drop of water I put my glass on the sink and look at my wine glass and the 2 empty bottles of wine on my bench. I don't remember drinking that much last night. I gasp as the memories start flooding back.
"Shit!" I mutter to myself rushing back to my bedroom. My laptop battery dead so I quickly plug it in to charge as I pace around my room. Holy shit, I actually did it.. Has anyone shown interest. Oh my god. I should take it down, I'm an idiot. I should just meet people out and about like a normal person but I'm not the type of person that hangs out at clubs and bars. My laptop shrills to life and I close my eyes and take a deep breath before I hop on my bed and put it on my lap. I quickly load the site and log in and I'm shocked to see I have 26 messages.
Wow! I open the first message and it's so terrible it makes me laugh
'Hey baby, looking for a good time? You've found your man!'
I stop reading to laugh, once I can finally get my laughter under control I quickly delete the oh so tempting offer and look through the other messages. A lot are similar to the first, I even get a request from a couple that want to bring another woman into their sex life. Wtf? No thanks. I'm just about to go get some breakfast when a bell-like chime signals I have a new message. Ok, just one more and then I'm getting something to eat. I click open and read.
'Hi Bella,
I really don't know what I'm meant to say without it sounding creepy but I'd like to get to know you a little better, maybe have a chat sometime?
Kind Regards
Edward'
Edward huh.. You don't hear that name often. I click on the link to his profile & immediately start choking on air. Oh my god! He is gorgeous! Wow! Surely that can't be what he really looks like, I mean I'm sure some lucky woman would have snatched him up already. He is sitting at what looks to be a bar, white long sleeve shirt rolled up at the sleeve and leaving the top two buttons open. His hair a dishevelled masterpiece as it sticks out in all directions and manages to look delectable enough to run your hands through it. But that's not what grabbed me first. His emerald eyes staring right at me, piercing my soul. If anything he seems a little sad in this picture, a small smile plays on his lips hinting at his forced pose for the photo.. Ok let's see.. I scroll down and read his stats.
