Chapter 1

I got out of work and went to my truck still fuming about that stupid boss of mine. Geez, why does she have to embarrass me all the time? Yeah, just because I'm an easy blusher doesn't mean she can have fun with that. Oh mine and it's raining outside such an uncommon occurrence in this town. And of course I forgot my damn umbrella at home. Lovely. Just lovely.

I love my place of work and what I do but to put up with someone so self centered and bossy and just boring like my boss Jessica is asking too much of any normal human being. But more obnoxious than the bitch herself is the moron she calls her boyfriend. That guy has the nerve to ask me out every single time we're alone. And, of course, I say no each and every time which apparently isn't enough for that small brain of his to understand. Anyway, the moron, aka Mike Newton works on the coffee shop next to the library where his girlfriend bosses me around. I think she's aware of his intentions otherwise she wouldn't be so rude and bitchy with me.

I'm having trouble to find the keys to my truck but hey that's just my daily routine, they always seem to get stuck inside my handbag. The drizzle didn't stop of course and it has been like this (and even worse) all day so the water creates little pools that always seem to find my feet.

It's almost 5 in the afternoon and since we are in the middle of November the sun is almost gone completely. Usually I'm the one who closes the library everyday at 8 p.m. but today Jessica let me leave earlier because I was meeting my best friend Rosalie Hale who was choosing her wedding dress.

'Oh, there you are' I muttered as I found my keys and opened my truck. I was relieved for finally getting inside something dry and at least a few degrees warmer than outside. I was late as it was already and I didn't want to get on Rosalie's nerves.

I pulled out of the parking lot which was across the street from the library and Newton's coffee shop and whether it was that my mind was filled with thoughts of Rosalie stupidity at going ahead with that crazy wedding or that I looked at the passenger seat and saw something from my ex,I didn't see the van that was in that moment parking right by my side and much less the silhouette of a person right in front of my truck. I gasped as I stomped harder than I ever did on my brake, so much that I felt a sting on my foot. But I could think about that later at the police office when I went there for getting arrested for running over someone… Well, I didn't feel I had hit something but the person wasn't there anymore so I opened the door of the truck as fast as I could thinking 'Please don't be dead, please don't be dead…' in a continuous loop inside my head. But the door hit something and I hear an "Ouch" sound coming from it. Nice, Bella! So, you killed someone AND hit someone else with the door. I saw a man standing there half crouched over himself but I couldn't pay attention to him now. I was about to come face to face with a person sprawled out all over the floor with blood gushing from the head like I often see at Grey's Anatomy or Dr. House and I was already beginning to feel nauseated only with the thought of so much blood. But as I reached the front side of my Chevy truck I saw no one lying there. I bent over and looked below my rusty car but no one was there either. I was beginning to get a little confused because I was positive I saw someone in front of the truck some seconds ago…

"Sorry I scared you." – I heard someone behind me say. I turned around and saw a stranger man holding his right hand with his left one. His hand looked hurt but the man was clearly preoccupied with my state of distress because he was looking at me like I was a bomb about to explode.

"What happened to your hand?" I heard myself ask.

"Well"- he started cautiously, knitting his eyebrows together- " you kind of hit me with the door of your truck" – he finished with a small smile.

"Oh my god… I'm so sorry" – I was mortified and blushed a little but I was glad that was almost completely dark and the man hardly could see my red cheeks. "I presume you are my non dead victim?" I asked him as my heart rate began to slow down.

"I beg your pardon?"- He replied confused.

I let out a breath of relief and explained myself. "Well, I saw someone in front of my truck so I hit the brake but the person was gone and I thought I had runned over him and killed him and when I got out of the truck I didn't see anyone sprawled on the floor gushing blood but I hit you with my door so you are a victim of mine after all but thankfully you are not dead and I was so preoccupied I was going to be arrested and I couldn't do that to Charlie so I…"

"Hey"- he said in a sweet calming voice as he took a step toward me. "It's ok, really. You didn't kill me, I'm fine. My hand doesn't even hurt. Just take a deep breath, you're very nervous. "

He took another step in my direction and I could see more clearly that he was a very handsome man. And that fact wasn't helping my breath going back to its normal rate. His body was muscular but not overly so. He was taller than me; I noticed he had a strong jaw line. Besides, his features were very beautiful and to top it off the guy had clear eyes which I couldn't determine the color because of the lack of light and a messy hair that looked almost… bronze? The guy looked like a model. Or a greek god. So much that I began to feel self conscious.

"Hey, what happened? "Called a booming voice from behind us. I saw another man, well more like a giant, coming out of the van and walking, almost running, toward us.

"Nothing Emmett."- Adonis replied. "I came across this lady's truck that's all."

"Hey, little person" – giant Emmett said to me, smiling broadly. "Edward's already made a move on you?"

"w-what?" – I stumbled. So his name was Edward. I looked at him and I could see his face was slightly flushed (I'm sure not as much as mine), but he was throwing a very scary glare at this Emmett guy.

"Emmett, please. Don't start. " He said. "I'm so sorry." – he turned to me. " My brother here doesn't quite know how to behave himself"

The giant only laughed harder and said. " Oh, come on. Don't get all upset on me, bro"

"No, it's ok." – I said. " I should be the one apologizing for nearly running over you with my truck. Sorry, really. Do you need me to drive you to the hospital?"

"Oh, it's fine really." – he said with a smile. God, his smile was kind of heavenly. "It doesn't hurt so much and my father's a doctor so he can have a look at it"

"Well, ok. If you're sure you don't need anything?"- as I said this Emmett began snickering like a girl.

"I'm ok, really. Are you?"

"Oh, god"- the giant muttered slightly amused.

"Yes, I'm fine." – I replied.

"Well, I'm Emmett Cullen" – giant said. " And this dork here is my brother Edward."

"I'm Bella Swan"

"Nice to meet you, Bella"- Edward said.

"You too, Edward. I'm sorry I almost killed you." – I said half kidding and half serious.

"Don't worry. I'm still one piece." – He threw a crooked grin in my direction that sent me into a coma…

'And what fine piece you are' – I thought and immediately blushed.

"Hey, Bella you're from here?" – Emmet asked and waking me up from my trance.

"Yes, all my life. I work at the library down there."- I said as I pointed to the old building across the street.

"Oh so you're into books? Eddie here is very smart and he…"

"Emmett, stop!"- Edward chastised his brother.

"Whatever, man." – Emmett replied even more amused. "Anyways, we're new here, just moved. Edward is opening a music store right by the side of the library. So I guess we would see you often neighbor."

I smiled at Emmett, he seemed very nice… I used to fantasize about having a big brother and Emmett is the kind of person you could easily imagine to play such a part. But I couldn't keep my eyes of Edward.

"So, you like music?" – I asked him but of course he seemed too much for me to handle so I blushed and immediately felt stupid. What the hell, Bella? He's opening a MUSIC store…

"Yes, I wanted to have a place of mine where I could share my passion about music. We are actually bringing some construction materials so the workers have everything ready when they come." – he was so serious. While he talked about music he had this dreamy expression on his face but then he went all business like.

"So, Bellie" – Emmett said- "Do you want to grab a cup of coffee from that coffee shop there? We can unload everything later."

"Oh, sorry. I can´t. I promised my friend I would help her choosing her wedding dress. I even got out of work earlier to do so."

"Well, I'm sure we can do it some other time?" – Edward said but it sounded like a question. Oh god, kill me now. Even is voice is sexy as hell. Shut up inner Bella and say something to the gorgeous man in front of you.

"Of course. And if you need anything, you know where I work"- I said with a smile.

His returning smile was so bright… I bet he could light up the day with that crooked smile. Or raise some dead women from their graves. Oh, god Bella, how morbid is that?

"Non sense!" – exclaimed giant Emmett. " I'm sure choosing a wedding dress won't take all night long, right Bella?"

"Hum… " – I stuttered. " I guess not."

"Excellent! See my brother and I" – he looked at Edward- " will unload all this material at the dump right there and then you could meet us for dinner. We were planning on touring the town this night anyways"

Edward threw him a quizzical look. He obviously wasn't aware of his brother's plan.

"I don't know… I was supposed to have dinner with Rosalie and Angela…"

"Bring them along! The more the merrier!"- Emmett almost shouted.

"Ok… I guess…If they want."

"We would like that" – Edward said to me as he unleashed the force of his look upon me combined with that gorgeous smile. Oh my freaking god…

"So we can meet in three hours at that coffee shop?" – the giant bear called Emmett asked. "If you decide to come that is" – He added with a smile.

"Oh… I think that's ok"- I said and even though I tried to hide my reluctance it didn't escape Edward's notice.

"What's the problem?"- he asked.

"No. Nothing at all. It's just that… I didn't say this but that guy that works there is so annoying…"

"We can go another place, if you like" – Edward said.

Oh, he is so attentive.

"No. It's fine. I already learnt how to deal with him. Kind of."

"Ok, and if he annoys you too much we will be there to protect you" – Emmett replied with a dimpled grin.

"Thanks. So see you later"

"See ya, Bellie"

"Drive carefully" – Edward added with a little smile and I just had to smile back.
