A/N 2: Hey, just to let you know the story line is Bella is working with Alice in the fashion industry. Alice is Bella's best friend but she hasn't meet Edward yet until Alice holds a New Year's party and invites her brother and introduces him to Bella. Sort of love at first sight but different, but who will Bella choose, Edward or Jacob. Don't know how story will finish up but I'll try to make it happy. Enjoy! Now let's get on with the story!

Chapter 1: The Party

"Bella have you organised the photo shot for Suzanne Lite?" Alice asked me.

"Yeah, I'm doing it now and I'm going to send her an email to notify her of all details needed to be known."

"Oh, good job Bella. I didn't even think of the email. Hey listen I'm having my usual New Year's party. Are you coming?"

"I don't know."

"Aw, come one. Please pretty please with a cherry on top. Not many people can get Alice Cullen to beg, so please come to the party." She had the puppy dog look on her face and I couldn't say no to that face.

"Okay fine then." I said giving in. She started jumping up and down and came to hug me and kiss me on the cheek.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said while running over to her office before she shut the door she turned around and she said. "By the way, you can wear what you want but if it's not up to my standards we're going back to my place and changing your clothes. No arguments." Before I could argue she shut the door and put music on. Damn you Alice- my thoughts were interrupted by someone standing in front of my desk. "Yes, what do you want?" I asked while lifting my head up. I saw a cute guy looking at me. He was young and had brown hair. He was tall and pale but, above all he was cute.

"Well, I just wanted to know if Alice is in."

"Yeh, she's . . . ah . . . in her office. Do you know the way?"

"Yeh, thank you." He turned away and walked in the direction of Alice's office. He was quiet and sort of had a grace to the way he walked. He opened the door and closed it after him. Who the hell was that? How does he know Alice? What does he want from her? Bella, stop. I told myself. It's not like cute guys haven't walked in here before, it is a modelling and fashion company. But he was something different; he wasn't like the others there was something about him that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

What the hell am I going to wear? No matter what I wear I know that Alice will criticise. I decided on a dark blue dress that complemented my eyes and hair. I got a silver clutch out of my wardrobe and put my phone, makeup, tissues and some aspirin in the clutch. I knew that I would have a headache not just from Alice's complaining but I also knew that Alice likes to have music loud and all her preferences of music seem to have so much bass. I got into my car and went to party hall that Alice hired every year. I gave the valet person my keys and he took my car. I stood outside and I was about to go up the stairs and into the hall when Alice came running out.

"Bella, you look dashing. Is that the dress I got you for your birthday?" She made me twirl around and then took me inside. It looked wonderful. She had silver and gold ribbons hanging from the ceiling and the tables had purple cloths and the chairs had blur ribbons attached to them. There was a DJ table out the front. There was a TV behind the DJ table which showed visualisations that went with the beat of the music and when there was 60 seconds left before midnight the countdown would show on the TV. The same as every year, but the decorations were beautiful. I think this is the best they've ever been.

"Alice, it looks beautiful. Wow, I can't believe you did this all on your own."

"Not really, you remember Jasper my long time boyfriend he helped too."

"You actually let someone help you." I was shocked Alice never let anyone help. "You must really love him." I saw him walk through the door. "Hey Jasper, how's it going?" I asked.

"Good but, going up and down a ladder to hang up ribbons is hard work." Alice started laughing and I joined in. People started to come in and it was getting packed quickly. I hated New Year parties because I never had anyone to kiss at midnight. By the time I looked around there were people everywhere. Some were dancing others were at the refreshment table and some were standing and talking. Wow Alice invited more than 150 people this year. I wonder if Jasper had anything to do with the invitations. Alice came over to me with that boy from this morning.

"Bella, I want you to meet my brother." Oh it was her brother. "Edward, Bella, Bella Edward." She said gesturing to each of us as she said our names. "Bella, I was thinking that maybe since you didn't bring anyone you might want to just hang with my brother." I just nodded. Was she setting me up with her brother?

"So, Edward what do you do for a living?" I asked while we we're walking out to the balcony.

"Well, I compose my own music."

"Wow, what instrument do you play?"

"Piano." Wow, I love any man that can play an instrument. He was everything I ever wanted but, he was Alice's brother. Wouldn't it be weird? I turned to face him the counted had already started.

"3, 2, 1. Happy New Year!" You could hear from inside. He looked at me than at my lips. He leaned in and first brushed my lips with his and then he kissed me. I was surprised but eager. He pulled away looked me in the eyes and then took a step back.
