She was beautiful. No, not beautiful, there weren't words enough to describe her allure. She had the most beautiful hair I had ever seen: dark umber brown with a red sheen and faint coffee streaks that flowed down to the small of her back, and those eyes, oh, those eyes. She had huge, chocolate brown eyes that I could just drown in. And her name. The way it rolled off my tongue, it just felt right. Bella, I thought.

She had two girls flanking her sides. Both were beautiful, and I knew they would be perfect for my brothers, Jasper and Emmett. The blonde for Emmett, the black for Jasper. Yes, they were beautiful, but neither could compare to my Bella. Shut UP, Edward! You don't even know the girl! She is NOT yours. You're lucky her companions mentioned her name, in the least! I scolded myself. I had to talk to her. I wanted her, but not in the way I wanted other girls. They were my version of a girls' 'boy-toy'. But this, this Bella, I wanted her in a different way. I felt this special, connection, to her, but I just couldn't even begin to understand, let alone explain, it. I watched as she and her friends sat down in seats near to me. I heard them talk, and then her two companions stood and walked to the Tim Horton's on the other side of the mall food court. She took a phone out of her pocket to read a text and giggled, looking at her two retreating friends. I figured, Darn it, she's probably taken. She's beautiful and obviously reading a text from her lover. Well, I'm screwed.

Then, the beautiful girl looked at me with those eyes. She stared into mine, and I swear she could see my soul. That's when her friends approached her table with their food and she blushed and looked at the table, hiding her face with a veil of deep auburn hair. That blush, she's absolutely amazing. She looked up at them as I heard her friends laughing happily, a tinkling one from the short sprite-like one, and a sweet giggly one from the tall blonde. They said there was a really hot guy that was staring at her, and she should go talk to him, and she just blushed deeper and looked down again.

'That's okay, I think I found somebody,' I heard her mumble.

I caught her glancing at me from the corner of her eye through her hair as she said this, and I quickly looked away. Why did she look at me that way? I sipped my french vanilla mochaccino, trying to pretend I wasn't glancing at her every three seconds.

'Where?!' I heard her friends ask excitedly, but I didn't dare look their way.

'Uh....' I heard from Bella.

'Bella, come ON. You can't keep it from us forever. You know we'll find out.' I heard the sprite say.

'Alice, please. He's over... there.' Bella said.

Ah, so the pixie one is Alice. Interesting. I figured she probably moved her head or pointed at me, because suddenly, out of my peripheral vision, I saw Alice and the blonde girl look my way. I mentally cheered as I realized she meant me.

'Oh-em-gee!! That's the guy that was staring at you, Bella. Oh-em-gee. You just have to go talk to him.' The blonde said loudly.

'Not so loud, Rose! He'll hear you!' Alice hissed.

'I know that he was staring at me, I didn't think that he was who you guys meant!' Bella hissed under her breath.

And so we have Rose. Bella, Alice, and Rose. Hmm, well if Bella seems to like me, maybe I should go talk to her? I glanced over at Bella and her friends to see her staring at me. Her eyes locked on mine and I couldn't look away. She had me trapped in her eyes, and I didn't want to look away.

'Not so loud, Rose! He'll hear you!' Alice hissed at Rosalie. I spun to look at the beautiful bronze-haired boy, to find him turning to look at me again.

Omg. Does he like, like me or something? Please say he does. He has the most amazing eyes. Emerald green, my favorite color in a guy's eyes. Wait, why would he like a plain-Jane like me? He couldn't. The smile fell from my face and I blushed and turned away.

EPOV

No, wait! I wanted to say it, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. Why did she just look away? Did I do something? Dang it, Edward! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Well, what can go worse? Might as well leave, or go talk to her. I forced myself to look away and walk toward the trash bin to my left. I dropped my empty cup into the bin, shoved my hands into my pockets, and started to the doors, then pushed myself to turn around and walk toward the girls. I took my hands out of my pockets, as to make a good impression. Slumping and hands in the pockets did not make a very good first impression. I looked up and saw the girls looking at me, astonished that I would even approach them. Why are the so surprised I'm approaching them?

'Hello ladies. I could help but hear you talking. My name is Edward. Edward Cullen. You must be Bella.'

I couldn't believe I just talked to Bella. I think I might hyperventilate. Keep your cool, Cullen. Calm down. I managed to keep a straight face, instead of getting all bug eyed as she replied to me, blushing all the while.

'Yea, I'm Bella, but how did you know my name? Oh, and this is Alice and Rosalie,' she motioned toward the other two girls.

'Oh, I already know who you all are. These two spoke loud enough for me to hear everything, and I overheard all your names.'

'Oh,' Bella said, and looked down at the table.

'Bella, I was wondering, would you and your delightful friends like to go to dinner with my two brothers and myself? I know my brother Emmett would fall for Rosalie quickly, as would Jasper for Alice. And I think we all know about myself.' I said quickly, the last part running together.

Bella looked up at me, startled.

'Uh, what do you think, guys? Would you like to go with uh, Edward, and his brothers to dinner?' She asked with wide, brown eyes.

BPOV

My friends snapped out of their state of alternating of staring open-mouthed at Edward and myself long enough to reply to my question.

'What? Oh yea, sure. Whatever Bella,' They said in surprise.

Alice and Rosalie had these huge smiles plastered on their faces, and I couldn't help but smile as well. I looked up at Edward, who was grinning at the girls.

'Well, uh, I guess we will.' I told Edward.

Edward's face lit up. I could tell he was really happy that we were coming. He went to turn to walk away, but I stopped him.

'Uh, Edward?' I loved how his name tasted on my tongue. It was like his name belonged there.

'When, and where?'

'Oh, yea. Right. Uh, well, what's your phone number, we will come pick you ladies up at say, six tonight sound fine?' He asked hopefully.

'Yea, that sounds great! I can't wait. Uh, here's my number, so just call me when you want to pick us up, and I'll give you directions.' I replied, looking around for paper to write my number on. When I didn't find one, he offered his hand.

'Just write it here. it's fine. And this way, I can't lose it,' He winked at me.

I scribbled my number on his hand in my bright blue pen. I capped the pen just as he finished reading the number and started to speak, taking the pen and my hand, writing something on it.

'Well, I guess we will see you lovely ladies then.' He turned to go, then added,

'Oh, and dress up a little, and not too much, Alice. I can tell you're one for fashion.'

With that, he walked away, out the doors and into the parking lot.

APOV

The silence after he left was killing me, so I decided to break it.

'Um, was that all, like, real?' I asked with wide eyes.

'Bella, what did he write on your hand, Bella? What'd he write?!' Rose squealed.

She was starting to sound more and more like me every day.

'"Five five eight, seven six three nine,"' Bella read off.

His number. But we could tell there was more by the look on her face.

'What is it Bells? What did he write?!' I pressed.

'Um, nothing, nothing,' Bella said, looking up from her hand. She fisted her hand as we glared at her.

'OMG! We have to go get ready! It's already four, and it'll take us half and hour to get home!' Rosalie burst.

'Not with me driving. It'll only take twenty minutes with me at the wheel. Lets go!' I jumped up and grabbed my purse and phone and one of their hands, pulling them along with me. We exited the mall to see Edward drive past to leave the mall in a silver Volvo.

EPOV

Yes!! I did it! talked to her! And now, we're going to dinner! Well, with the guys and her friends, but still! I was ecstatic. I had landed a date with the most beautiful girl on Earth. I just sat in the Volvo for a few minutes, replaying the last ten minutes behind closed lids. Then I started the car and pulled out to leave the mall. As I passed the doors I exited, I saw the girls leave and watch as I drove by. I winked at Bella, knowing she had read what was on her hand. I had written my number and then, 'See you then Bella! I can't wait either,' and a little rose beside it. It was simple, but I knew she would appreciate it.
