Bella's POV
"Ouch!" I exclaimed falling back on my ass.
"Shit. Sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I heard a deep, smooth, masculine voice say.
"It's okay. I'm just a natural klutz" I said standing back up and dusting myself off.
"No, that was my fault. Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'm perfectly fine" I said.
"Well, I'm Dimitri" He said sticking out his hand for me to shake.
"I'm Bella" I said shaking his hand and looking up at him for the first time. He was very attractive, there was no doubt about that. He had deep emerald green eyes and soft-looking brown hair that barely fell into his eyes. He had a confident smirk that was bordering conceited, but wasn't quite there yet.
"Excuse me for being so forward, but you're gorgeous. He said to me and I could feel all the blood rise to my face."
"Oh um, thanks." I said.
"Do you want to go out sometime for coffee? My treat. A more formal apology for running into you?" He suggested.
"You don't have to do that. I'm perfectly fine." I replied.
"Please I insist. Look how about I give you my number and you can decide whether or not to call me." He offered.
"Okay." I said, getting my phone out and handing it to him so he could put his number in it.
"It was nice running into you, Bella" He said, handing my phone back to me.
"Same to you"
"I hope to get a call from you in the near future" He said winking at me and then walking away. I can honestly say, that's the most interesting trip to the grocery store I have ever taken.
~TA~
"I don't know if I should call him, Ang! I mean he was a total stranger. What if he's a rapist or murderer?! Or worst... Both!" I exclaimed to my best friend Angela after telling her about the grocery store scene.
"First off, Bella, stop pacing! You're making me nervous. Second, did he look like a murderer or rapist?" I stopped pacing and looked over at Angela.
"Did he look like a murderer or rapist?! What kind of question is that?! You don't look like a murderer or rapist. There is no type! You just are!"
"I meant did he seem creepy in any way, shape, or form." Angela said rolling her eyes at my outburst.
"Well he did seem a tad bit too confident and kind of dominant." I said
"That doesn't mean he's dangerous, Bells. It just means that he'll be one hell of a lover in the bedroom."
I looked at her incredulously. "What does that even mean?!"
"It means, Isa, that he's gonna rock your world." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"And you know that how?"
"Because he's dominant. Everyone knows that dominant people are amazing in bed. Just take Paul for example"
"Paul Lahote?"
"Have you slept with any other Paul?"
"No."
"Then yes. Paul Lahote."
"What about him?" I asked confused.
"Ugh sometimes you really frustrate me, Bella. You can tell Paul is a naturally dominant person and from what you told me after you guys slept together he was and I quote, 'The most amazing lover. The things that man can do with his hands and mouth' end quote."
"So? What does that prove? That Paul is a good lover?"
"No, it proves that you need to shut up, stop worrying and call that guy! Who knows he may rock your world just as much as Paul!"
~TA~
"Bella! I'm so glad you could make it." Dimitri said with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah. Me too." I said
"Why don't we go ahead inside and order something?" He said.
"Sounds good to me!" We went inside of Starbucks and went to the counter to order.
"Hello! Welcome to Starbucks. What can I get you today?"
"Um, I'll take a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Frappe"
"And I'll just have a black coffee" She gave us our price. I reached in my purse to grab money for my share, but Dimitri stopped me. "Remember, my treat." He said winking at me and handing the cashier the money.
"Oh yeah. Thank you."
"No problem" He said grabbing our drinks and leading me toward a secluded table in the back of the store. I could feel my heart beat start to race as all the scenarios of what could happen ran through my head. Was this the last drink I would ever have? Was he already planning my death in his head. Oh god I'm going to-
"Are you alright?" He asked interrupting my mind ramble.
"Uh yeah. Just nervous. I don't normally do this..."
"Do what? Drink coffee?"
I laughed nervously, "No. Go out to drink.. With a stranger."
"Well, I don't have to be a stranger" He said giving me a big smile, teeth and all.
"No. I guess you don't." I said smiling right back at him.
~TA~
"So tell me everything." Angela said as soon as she picked up her phone.
"I don't know. There's not much to tell. We went to Starbucks and got a coffee and just talked. He was really sweet and nice. We're planning to go out Friday after school."
"Did you find out anything about him?"
"Yeah he's 18. Graduated and working at his dad's law firm as an assistant for now. He wants to go to school to be an attorney eventually."
"Wow, a man with a plan. I like him already!"
"Yeah. So do I. He was so sweet. I'm glad you talked me into going, Ang."
"What are best friends for?"
"That's what you are? I was wondering why you were always bothering me!"
"Shut up!" Angela said, giggling.
"But in all serious. I may have just met The One"
"Do you really think so?"
"I really do" I said with a soft smile on my face.
A/N: And that's a wrap! I know its kind of short. I wanted it to be longer but that seemed like a good place to end it. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of the rewrite of The Arrangement. I plan to update again soon, but finals are coming up so it may be awhile. Once again if you have any question don't be afraid to ask me in a review or PM and I'll clarify as soon as possible. I hope everyone has a good day/night. And don't forget to review!
