Trip to Remember

BPOV

"Thank You for choosing Alice's Boutique. Come again." I said to a customer who just bought a frilly white dress, that complimented her eyes. I work here at Alice's Boutique in Forks, Washington. It's a really small town and this is the only job I could find. But it's a good job even though I don't like shopping. The manager, Alice Cullen, is super nice. We sell anything a girl could want, which includes, belts, dresses, shirts, skirts, dress pants, you name it we have it.

"Hey Alice, it's 6 o'clock. I'll be heading home." I called to her as I put on my jacket. It was pretty cold outside considering that it's May.

"Okay, Bella! I think I'm going to head home, too. I'm super tired."

"See you tomorrow." I called as I walked out the door.

The breeze felt nice when I pulled up to my apartment, so I decided that I was going to take a jog. I walked through the doors up the elevators to level 4, then walked to my apartment. I unlocked the door, changed my clothes from my dress pants, shirt and high heels, to my favorite t-shirt, sweatpants and tennis shoes. I grabbed my iPod and headed out the door.

I jogged to the park. There was this really nice track that I could walk around. I started at a walk and made my way up to a heavy jog. My favorite song Girls Just Want to Have Fun came on. I wasn't paying any attention to the track, when the next thing I remembered I was flat on my back.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying any attention."

I looked up into the most gorgeous green eyes. I gasped, hoping he didn't notice. But he did. I blushed a bright pink.

"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention either." I said staring at this godlike green eyed gorgeous man.

"How about we just start all over? I'm Edward Cullen." He held out his hand so I could shake it. Oh so that's what this godlike creatures name was. Wait Cullen? As in Alice's last name? But I didn't want to ask him because that would be weird.

"I'm Bella. Bella Swan." I said as I took his hand and shook it. We were still sitting on the ground. And my arm was throbbing.

"Pleasure to meet you, Bella." Edward said as he helped me up. I winced when he pulled on my throbbing arm. "Are you okay?"

"Oh it's nothing. I think I just landed on my arm. This kind of thing happens to me all the time. I mean about my arm." I said looking down at my arm.

He took my arm and looked at it. "Oh I'm sorry. Do you need to go to the hospital?" He asked with sincerity.

I stared at him. I was trying to figure him out. I had just met him and he was being extremely kind to me. "Oh no its fine. Really. It should just go away."

"Would you like to go on a walk with me? To make up for running you over." He asked me.

"Sure." I said. I couldn't say no.

We started our little journey through the park. It was silent so I just blurted out, "Are you related to Alice Cullen?"

"Yes, she's my younger sister. How do you know her?" He asked me.

"Well, I work for her at her shop, Alice's Boutique."

"Oh my sister. She's quite energetic isn't she?"

"Oh yeah. I just have to stay away whenever she has coffee in the morning." I laughed a little giggle.

He chuckled, "Try having to live with her."

"I feel bad for you. No, she's actually really nice! Better than any of my other bosses. Wait how come you don't look anything like her?" I asked. I hope I hope I wasn't getting too personal.

"We were both adopted by my parents Carlisle and Esme. I don't really remember my real parents though, so it's not that's hard." I stared at him as if he just poured his heart out to me.

"Oh. I'm sorry…"

"There's no reason to be." He told me as I watched him stare at me from the corner of my eyes.

"New subject. Where do you work?" I asked curiously.

"At a coffee shop down the street. Jaspers House of Coffee." He told me. I couldn't stop staring at those gorgeous green eyes. I could barely hear him.

"Their coffee is amazing!" I said really excited. I've been there many times. Yet never have seen him in the shop before.

"Yeah I agree, it's really good." Then I realized that it was getting really dark. I looked down at my iPod and it said that it was 9 o'clock.

"I'd better get going. It's getting late." I told him.

"Yeah it is. I hope I see you soon." I was screaming in my head when he said that!

"Bye!" I called over my shoulder as I walked in the opposite direction to my apartment.
