Chapter One: Edward Cullen


"Bella! Bella! Bella!" My little brother chanted, his eyes were wide as we stared across the park. I looked at him with a smirk.

"What some cute girl over there or something?"

Brian had the audacity too look at me with disgust. He motioned toward a group of guys playing football, "That's Edward Cullen."

I looked over at the guys and studied the guy he was talking about. His bronze hair bounced off the light, and contrasted well with his green eyes. He was gorgeous. "He's cute!"

Brian looked at me again, with disgust, "Bells!" He whined, "That's the quarterback for the Cowboys! What the hell is he doing in a park!?"

"Well I mean we do live in Dallas Bry," I teased.

"This is serious! He's like my idol! And he's standing fifty feet away! I have to go talk to him. None of the guys will believe me, you have to take my picture with him." He was deadly serious.

"Okay," I nodded with a sigh. "Let me get Lucy." I went to the sandbox and grabbed Lucy out of it, she wasn't too pleased with her uncle at the moment.

Brian hesitantly made his way over, very slowly I may add. When he finally got over the oldest gentleman looked at us with a smile, "Can we help you guys?"

Brian was gawking, literally almost drooling. I nudged him with my elbow and he grunted then forced his eyes to meet Edwards. "I Uh, I you, you're like my idol dude. Um.."

Edward grinned, "Thanks kid. What's your name?"

Brian's face broke out into a grin. "Brian!"

"You play?"

Brian nodded rapidly, "I'm the QB." He said almost shyly.

"Really?" Edward asked surprised. "You look young?"

"He's a freshman, but the quarterback of the varsity team. He's pretty talented." I bragged, with a smile.

"Bells!" Brian hissed, obviously embarrassed.

Edward chuckled, "It's nothing to be embarrassed by buddy," suddenly he looked at me. "And what is your name?"

I blushed slightly and looked away, "I'm bella. And this is my daughter, Lucy."

He smiled. "Well hello Bella, hi Lucy!" He then glanced over at another man. "Should we wait on your husband before taking the picture?" Edward asked seriously.

I smiled, "Nope. No husband. Just Lucy, Brian, and I."

Edward's head rose slightly to meet my eyes, he had a sexy grin that made my knees slightly weak just by a glance. "Hey Josh, take our picture would you?"

The man nodded and took Edwards phone from him then looked at us expectantly. I shifted Lucy to my hip and Edward stood beside me wrapping his arm around my shoulder, with his other hand on Brian's shoulder. "Say cheese!"

"Cheese!" We all chorused.

When he snapped the picture we all moved further away, "Wait, how are we going to get the picture?" I asked confused.

Edward grinned, "Guess you'll just have to give me your number so I can send it to you."

I smiled shyly and looked away, "Guess so."

Edward and I stared at each other a second, his smile slowly grew as he stared into my eyes. I stared back, it was like slow motion, and the earth was bringing us together. "Mama, Who's that?" Lucy suddenly asked, making us break apart.

"Um this is Edward," I chocked out as I looked at my baby girl. Her big brown eyes blinked innocently up at him, while her long hair was slowly falling out of her bun.

"Eddard'."

"Right," he chuckled. "You're too cute!"

"I'm cute?"

"Very." Edward chuckled.

"Um I hate to interrupt and everything but Bella I have football practice, and I'm already 10 minutes late. If I don't get there soon coach will blow a gasket." Brian said awkwardly.

I nodded slightly and held out my hand to Edward, he took it and shook it slightly. "It was very nice too meet all of you. Here's my number," I said quickly, taking out a pen from my purse and writing it on Edwards hand.

Edward smiled, "Nice too meet you too. Bye Lucy, Brian." He paused and grinned at me, "Bye beautiful brown eyes."

I smirked, "You probably use that line on everyone."

Edward shook his head, "I've only called one other woman beautiful," my heart dropped at the aspect of him having a wife or girlfriend I didn't even think of that! "And that's my mother."

"Bellllla!" Brian whined, Lucy started wiggling around in my arms as well.

"Sorry... Duty calls."

Edward nodded and waved us one final goodbye as I reluctantly turned and left with my kiddos. When we got in the car Brian smirked at me, "What?" I asked innocently.

"You so got the hots for him. And he likes you too."

"What?" I asked as I turned to leave the parking lot, I glanced back at Lucy and she was already knocked out. "How do you know he likes me?"

Brian rolled his eyes, "You're so clueless Bella."

I sighed and rolled my eyes, it's true I am very clueless. Then again I haven't dated since before Lucy. Lucy was sort of a mistake, I was broken up with my ex boyfriend and let him trick me into bed. I faced the consequences too when he told me he would rather cut off both his feet then have a child with me. He tried to get me to abort her, but I wouldn't do it. When she was months old I certainly struggled, hell we still struggle.

Getting Brian's football dues paid off every year takes a lot, but he loves it and I won't refuse him something he's so passionate about.

I dropped Bry off and headed home. Our home isn't exactly something special. It's broken down, and old, and looks abandoned from certain angles but it's ours.

Brian has his own room, then I share a room with Lucy. It isn't exactly desired, but on my salary we can't ask for much more. I'm a waitress at a local steak house, and I get more money than a teacher, but it still is very hard to maintain my kids expenses without any help. And I make sure we all have nice clothes, so people don't look down on us.

That may sound petty, but in all honesty that's how I choose to spend my money. So that we never have to be subjected to other people's rudeness, I put money into buying nice clothes.

When we got home I took Lucy inside and laid her in the couch so she could finish napping. Then went to start laundry, my phone buzzed from across the room and I glanced up before finishing my last piece of clothing and going to pick it up.

Here's the pics! I know we don't really know each other very well. And I hate to come out like a stalker or something, but you're special bella. I really want to get to know you more.

-Edward Cullen

I read the message then Re read it once again and grinned wide.

Thanks Edward, and you're special too! I would love to get to know you more as well. Maybe we can just text for now though, unless you recommend something more?

-Bella

I sat my phone down anxiously and went to get Lucy as she stirred, "Mama. I'm hungry."

"I know baby, I'm starting supper soon. Here, eat a graham cracker to hold you over."

My phone buzzed and I nearly knocked Lucy down to grab it off the bar, how about coffee? We could go out for some tomorrow, you can bring Lucy along if you need too! I would say Brian too but I'm sure he has school.

-Edward

Yep! I'll bring Lucy but you're right Brian can't come! He'll be pissed lol!

-Bella

Haha! I'll make it up to Him, can't wait see you soon my beautiful brown eyes! ;)

-Edward

I smirked at the message and gently laid my phone down then went to play dress up with Lucy, when Brian got home later on we ate spaghetti and I broke the news to him. "Can I please skip school!? Please bells!?"

"Absolutely not."

"But bella!" He whined.

"No. Brian, it's only September, school just started. No."

Brian gave me a nasty look before stomping up the stairs. He slammed his plate into the sink on the way up, which caused Lucy to burst into tears.

"Brian Carter!" I screeched up the stairs.

He gently came to the top of the stairs as I stood at the bottom and crossed his arms at me. "What?" He spat.

I frowned. "I understand that you're upset but there was no reason for that. You scared your niece half to death, and broke a plate. If you ever act like that again you'll be grounded for the week. Do you understand me?"

Brian looked guilty then, "Yes." He said sorrowfully then slowly walked down the stairs. "I'm sorry Lucy, I didn't mean to scare you." He mumbled, picking her up and cuddling her to him. I might have just melted a little bit.

"Brian, buddy. If everything goes smoothly with Edward we will see him again, and I promise next time you can go with us." I smiled.

"Really?" Brian grinned.

"Yes," I chuckled.

"Well then, you better not screw it up." He teased.

"Oh I'll try not too," I sighed, nudging him with my hip. And just like that we fell back into a comfortable brother/sister relationship. "Now get upstairs, go to sleep." I mumbled, smacking him on the butt as he went.

"Ow!" He whined.

"Next time don't have an attitude," I ordered in a kidding way, then shooed him off.

I took Lucy into my arms and pulled her hair back from her face. "What do you think cutie? Does mommy have a chance? He's a pretty big deal. I don't know about this." I sighed.

"I like Eddard," she announced.

I giggled, "Yeah baby. I like Edward too."
