So for those of you who don't know me, I'm not a new writer, but I have been away for a while and I'm sorry for those who've not heard from me in a while!

Anyway, this is a new story, obviously, and I hope you guys like it. All characters are human but I hope you'll like it!

All rights to Stephanie Meyer, she made these beautiful characters, I just toy with them for yours and my entertainment.

I walked into the bar nervously, my 'ID' burning a hole in my pocket. The bar was a small place that smelt of beer and the overwhelming smell of guys' aftershave. It had a cabin like feel to it with its wood panelling and it dark lighting. This place was a local haunt but hopefully the locals didn't know me enough to call me out.

I've just moved to Forks to live with my dad as my mom wanted to go on tour with her husband. Don't get excited, it's with minor league baseball, but I don't always let people know that. This was my first night and I thought that having a few drinks to calm my nerves before I see my dad, would be a good idea.

I sat myself on a bar stool and tried to look confident. Back at home I wouldn't have this problem, I was used to the bars there, but it felt weird here. I mentally shook myself and smiled at the bartender. He smiled slowly and walked to my side of the bar.

"What'll it be, cupcake?"

"A beer would be great." I flashed a small smile at him before he walked away. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and looked at my company for the next few hours. The usual lumberjack types, typically found around Forks sat on the few bar stools looking into their beer bottles. A couple of men were playing pool and a few more sat in the booths shouting about the latest sport scores. Two women walked around carrying empty beer bottles and trays of food, bantered with the men. All in all it seemed like a nice place. The bartender placed my beer in front of me and leaned across the bar to talk to me.

"So I haven't seen your face around here before, where'd you come from?"

"Somewhere sunny, unlike this place." I'm trying to keep it quiet where I came from, people were sure to know about the chief of polices daughter's homecoming. The man chuckled.

"I'm sure you'll get used to it," he didn't go further into the subject, "I'm Paul by the way. I live up on the rez." He held out his hand and I could see his muscles flexing under his t-shirt.

"Bella," I mentally kicked myself. His expression looked curious but he didn't pursue it.

"Well it's nice to meet you Bella." We talked for another hour or so, in between him serving and I was finding it nice in his company. Maybe it wouldn't be totally horrendous staying here.

I was on my third beer when the door opened and someone else came. I looked out of the corner of my eye and did a double take. Coming through was the most beautiful guy in the world. And trust me I lived in a full town of pretty people, he just swiped them off of the table. He had a lean and sculpted body and a surprisingly good fashion sense for a place that seemed so backwards in its modern ways. His copper hair looked like he had just rolled out of bed after a phenomenal sex session and his eyes were so green that they made me want to look at them all day. He caught me looking at him and I could feel a hot heat spread across my face. I looked back to the bar top and took a large swig of my beer.

He threw his body on the stool that was not next to me but the one after. Paul greeted him warmly and got a beer without asking him what he wanted. They made a few comments to each other but then Paul left him alone and came to talk to me again.

"Who's that?" I whispered. Paul smirked at me and looked at the guy. He leaned closer to me so he could keep his voice quiet.

"That would be Edward Cullen. Moved here about three months ago with his family and is currently working somewhere in the community, but I'm not too sure where. He is single and has dated nobody in town yet, but he has all the ladies gagging for him."

"Is he, you know…gay?" I prayed for the answer to be no.

"Nope, he's definitely straight. I thought he might be but, no." I smiled to myself and Paul pulled back and winked at me. I took another swig, only to find the bottle empty. I took to just looking at the bar top instead and listened to the music. I recognised the Adele song playing quietly and swayed a little in time to the music.

"Do you like Adele, or have you drunk that much?" A velvet voice spoke from next to me and I turned. Damn, he was sexier close up. He had a smirk on his face and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Adele is really great." I managed to splutter out and I blushed deeply.

"No doubt. So what's your name?" he turned to fully face me and I mirrored his actions.

"Bella."

"Bella." He tested out my name. All I could think of is how his mouth shaped around the word.

"And you are?" I better play it cool and act like I hadn't just found out pretty much his life story.

"Edward, but I'm sure you already knew that." He smirked again and I was starting to think that my blush would be a permanent fixture on my face.

"So what brings you to a dreary little town like Forks?"

"Just this and that." I was trying to play it cool and seem mysterious.

"Yeah, I heard this and that can be quite hard work." He chuckled and leaned closer. Well as close as he could with a bar stool in between us both.

"Something like that."

We talked about small things for a while, but instead of finding it uncomfortable, I found myself relaxing and laughing along with the banter he threw at me. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and I asked Paul for another drink.

"So how's it going?"

"Good I think." I smiled at Paul. I had the feeling that we would become good friends. Edward came back but instead of sitting in his place he sat next to me. Paul raised his eyebrow and put my drink down in front of me. I took a sip and looked at Edward. He gazed up and down my body and pretended to ignore it.

"So I was just about to leave, are you staying or are would you like me to walk you home?" his eyes twinkled as if he dared me to say no. I looked at my barely touched beer and up at Paul close by. He nodded towards the door and winked.

"I would love that." I got up and put some money down for the drinks. I went to get my coat that I had taken off a while ago. Edward reached to help me and his hand brushed mine. It was like a sharp electric shot going through me and I pulled my hand away, scolding myself for it afterwards. Edwards just smiled and walked to the door.

"Good luck." Paul said pretty loudly and got a few chuckles out of the others sat at the bar. I shot him daggers but smiled so he knew I didn't mean it.

The air was cold outside and it bit through me and I shivered. Edward slung his arm around me and I blushed at the contact, I was glad that it was dark. We started to walk to the house district of the town and it was a pleasant silence.

"So would you like to come to mine for a coffee or something?" His voice cracked and he cleared his throat which I found adorable.

"I'd like that." We walked for ten more minutes before we came to a grand house that I know only the really rich can afford in this part of town. "Woah." Edward laughed. He walked forward and unlocked the door and let us in. It was dark in the house so I couldn't tell how grand it was. Before I could speak I felt his breath fan across my face and before I knew it we were locked in a passionate embrace, that neither broke from. He hitched my legs around his waist and I moaned. He practically ran to his bedroom.

Ooh ooh, so do you guys like? Pretty standard but it needs to be done to set up their relationship. Please review if you love or hate it!
