Chapter One pt. One

BPOV

"Alice, why do you insist on torturing me like this?"

"You know Bella, you really shouldn't complain. This is the first makeover that you have had in more than a week. Now quit your complaining and sit still unless you want to burned or poked in the eye on purpose," Rose threatened.

"Fine. But you guys know my regulations." A chorus of 'yeah, yeah's rang through the room.

1 hour later

We were finally dresses and ready to leave. Alice was wearing a lime green button-up blouse and gray pencil skirt with lime green kitten heels. Her short, black hair was done in waves and her make-up was very low key for Alice. Rosalie was wearing a light pink three-quarter sleeve wrap top with a cream colored camisole underneath, dark gray gauchos, and light pink peep toe pumps. I was wearing a baby blue long sleeve peasant top with flowy, bell-like sleeves, dark wash jeans, and light brown, ankle high, suede boots. My hair was half done up in curls and my make-up was light blue.

"Alright, let's go girls! I made reservations for six o'clock and it's already five-fifteen!"

"Hold on Alice, let me get our purses and I'll meet you guys at the car" Rose said and then left to go get our purses. In less than a minute she was sliding into the drivers seat of her red BMW M3 convertible and starting it. She began to drive out of the parking garage when Alice turned around and handed me my light brown suede purse.

"So Alice, what restaurant are we going to tonight anyway?" I questioned. She turned around in her seat to answer me when I saw that famous Cullen mischievous glint in her eyes.

"You'll find out soon enough," she taunted and with that she turned back around in her seat.

"Ugh! If Alice won't tell me Rose surely will, won't she?"

"Sorry Bella, no can do. This was all Alice's doing. Even though I can't tell you where we are going you should be glad that I told her no blindfold. Yes Alice I am telling her this because you didn't get to blindfold her" Rose remarked.

"What?! Alice do you remember the last time that you blindfolded me? I ended up with a broken wrist, broken elbow, dislocated shoulder, and breaking your brother's piano. I would rather not go through that again thank you very much! I still don't think that Edward has forgiven me for that and it happened fourteen years ago!" I exclaimed.

"Oh I'm sure he'll forgive you sooner than you think there missy" Alice said.

"What do you mean by-"

"We're here!" sang Rose.

"Where exactly is here?"

"Get out of the car and you'll see where here is Bells" Rose replied.

"Fine," as soon as I stepped out of the car and saw the sign I almost fainted. Right there on Fifth Avenue was the restaurant that Alice's parents, Carlisle and Esme, had dreamed about opening up since I can remember. The name was BeJaRe, all of their "kids" initials. "Omigod! Alice, why didn't you tell me that Mom and Dad finally opened up their restaurant?"

"Surprise!!!!!" shouted Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, and a few other that I didn't recognize.

"Wow, a pleasant surprise for once" I made sure to put the emphasis on 'pleasant' all the while glaring at Alice.

"Alright Bella, we have one more surprise for you tonight. Let's go in so you can see it" said Esme. She took my hand and led me into the restaurant. It was absolutely breath taking. It looked like a Victorian era restaurant with a Modern twist. Someone cleared their throat behind me and I turned around to see who it was.

There stood a living Greek god. He had to be around six feet tall, had what seemed like a very toned body, extremely messy bronze hair, and the most captivating green eyes I have ever seen. "Recognize me?" the Adonis asked.

"Hold on a minute," the only person that I knew with hair and eyes like that was my best friend that I haven't seen in forever. I still had to ask; even though there was no way that this person could be my childhood best friend. "Eddie-boy?"

"Well I'm no Eddie-boy, but my name is Edward." As soon as he said that I tried to run and give him a gigantic hug, keyword there is tried. I almost got to him and I tripped over air again and was about to greet the floor for the umpteenth time that day when someone's arms found their way around my waist. When that set of very toned arms grabbed my waist, I felt as if a lightening bolt had shocked me. I looked up to see who had grabbed me and was met by two brilliant green eyes. "Still having balance issues Bella?"

"Did you really think that I wouldn't?" I asked back. I blushed and was probably fire engine red my now. I noticed that Edward hadn't let go of my waist so I gave him a hug.

"You haven't changed much have you Izzie-girl?" Edward asked. I groaned at the mention of my old nickname. "I'll take that as a no."

"So how long have you been in New York?" I asked while pulling away.

"About a month-"

"You have been in New York for a month and didn't bother call me or anything?"

"Alice wouldn't let me! She wanted to make tonight one big surprise for you. So don't go blaming the pianist, blame the pixie" he said fairly calmly.

"Sorry Edward, I'm just kinda mad that Ali and Rose decided to make me into a Barbie doll again. Not to mention that they put me in heels that I am bound to kill myself in and have annoyed the hell out of me this past week. But here's the real kicker, remember when Ali would try to get me to go out with all these different guys when we were younger?" he nodded so I continued. "Well she hasn't even attempted to set me up with anyone for three weeks and didn't really think about it for two weeks before that" I vented.

"I thought that you didn't like that."

"I don't, but something is up with her. No matter what I will figure it out. So, how's life been treating you lately?"

"Pretty good, but better now."

"Why did you decide to leave Chicago? I thought that you loved the Windy City" I questioned.

"I did, but I wasn't as happy there as I once was. So I decided to pack up my bags and move back to the Big Apple where all my family and friends are" he answered.

"What happened?" I asked already suspicious.

"What are you talking about? Nothing happened" he answered smoothly.

"Edward, I may not have seen you in twelve years, but I still know you well enough to tell that something happened. Now, tell me or I will have to force it out of you" I stated calmly.

"Okay, fine! The truth is…"

I will try not to make this author's note too long.

This is my first fanfic, so please review and tell me what you think. Be harsh in the reviews please, thank you! And I am also looking for a Beta reader if you know anyone or if you would like to Beta for me, let me know.

Songs for this chapter are:

One of my reviewers pointed out a confusion in this chapter. When Bella and Edward are talking in the restaurant the other people are there, but they aren't paying attention to them, they are having their own private side conversations. I just wanted to clear that up.
