Chapter 1 The Meeting

I was walking through the airport in Chicago to catch my connecting flight to Seattle when all of the sudden a man ran into me almost knocking me over. He was quite a bit taller than my 5'4" frame. He must have been Close to 6'4" tall and slender but you could tell he worked out by the look of his chest muscles though the tight light grey turtle neck shirt he was wearing. That was almost all I could see of him as he still had not stepped away from me.

"Excuse me. I am so sorry. I was distracted by my blackberry and was not paying attention." He said as he stepped back from me.

"Oh that's ok it happens to me all the time being so short. I forgive you. I have a tendency to be invisible to people." I responded back still not looking up at him

"You invisible? I find that hard to believe." He responded with a half grin that lit his entire face up. " By the way my name is Edward. I hope I did not hurt you"

I finally looked up to his face to see he most amazing emerald green eyes I had ever seen. "I think I am ok." I said back never taking my eyes off him. "My na…. name is Bella. It is nice to meet you"

"What a most appropriate name for the most beautiful of women" he smiled again his crucked smile at me. "Are you in a rush to your plane or would you do me the honor of taking you for at leas a coffee to make up for almost running you over."

"No I am not in a rush my office made sure I had plenty of time to get between flights as they know I am a magnet for the ground. But you really do not need to take me for a coffee. I would not want to put you out. I m sure you are busy and must have your own plane to catch, Edward" I smiled back to him.

He looked a bit disappointed when I said it but then his eyes lit up as if he had a thought and what came said next changed my life forever: "Please, I feel I must do something for you. I am not in a hurry my flight to Seattle is a while from now and it really would not be a bother in fact it would be a pleasure, Bella."

"SEATTLE, I am going to Seattle." I responded in delight that maybe I would see this man again.

"Ok then. It is set. I get you a coffee or whatever you would like. And we sit and chat until we have to board out flight." Edward said as his eyes fell on my face and he smiled like he had won the lottery.

And with that we were off to a café side by side. I was thinking to myself that I was going to sit and talk to a man I knew nothing about but is name in an airport but that the man was also someone I felt an instant connection to. Little did I know was that connection was something stronger than anything or anyone and that the man at my right hand side would alter my life forever before this day was even done.
