Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
I would just love to have Edward Cullen walk into MY work and notice me ;)

The rest of the day seemed to drag on FOREVER! Finally 2:30 had rolled around and second shift arrived, me and Mike were done with yet another Saturday morning at Starbucks hell. I was so glad I only worked there one day a week; I worked a full time job as a customer service rep for incoming calls for an online store. It wasn't the most exciting job, but it paid the bills. Starbucks paid for me to have fun, which I needed to talk to Mike about.
I turned to face Mike once I was done gathering my things. He was already looking at me, he and I were pretty much in synch. "Rodney's tonight?" He asked, with a grin and a raised eyebrow. I giggled. "Could we?" Mike feigned being annoyed. "Alright, Bella doll. Just for you. I was going to be meeting up with Eric tonight anyways, but it's MY turn to pick the place." I clapped my hands, excitedly. "Great! I'll give Alice a call and maybe she and Jasper could join us as well?" That's when I realized I would be playing the 5th wheel, yet again. Oh well, at least it's for a good cause, I thought to myself.
I gave Mike a quick hug, "What do you say, 9ish?" He asked me as we headed out the back employee entrance door. I nodded, and waved as I walked over to my truck. I knew I would have to get Alice to help me find something decent to wear and give me one of her famous makeovers.
I drove to my house, thoughts flooding my mind the whole way home. What if he was just being nice? What if he has a girlfriend? What if he isn't even interested in all? Could I have misread the signs he was giving to me? I took a deep breath as I pulled my truck into the parking space. I tend to over analyze things too often, and I hope this was just another one of those situation.
As soon as I shut my apartment door behind me I whipped out my cell phone and texted Alice, with 911 Fashion Emergency. I literally ran to my closet and began to throw clothes onto my bed.
EPOV:
What the HELL is that ringing noise? I opened my eyes and as soon as the room came into focus I knew what it was, it was my annoying cell phone. I blindly reached across my night table to grab the source of the utterly annoying noise. I brought it to my eyes, which still were a little blurry. I saw it was my good friend, Emmett McCarty. I flipped it open and brought it to my ear, "Hello?"
"Cullen!!" Came Emmett's booming voice, I had to pull my phone away from my ear he was so loud. "Emmett! How have you been?" I asked, my voice was apparently groggy. "Sleeping? It's Saturday night! We need to go out." I sat up in bed, and looked over at my alarm clock. The red numbers read 7pm. "Yeah. That sounds like a good idea." I rubbed my eyes and ran my hand through my hair.
"Great. Me and Rosalie will come get you. Oh, and my business partner Jacob Black and this girl he just started seeing, Tonya something or other are going to join us." Emmett informed me. "Ok. The more the merrier I guess." Emmett laughed, I'm sure it was at my still disoriented state of mind. "See you around 8:30." I snapped my cell phone shut and headed off to grab a shower and try to wake up.
BPOV:
"Alright, I am done!" Alice twirled the chair around so I could look in the mirror. I was speechless, "Alice, you outdid yourself yet again!" She clapped her hands together and did a little twirl. Alice Brandon was the best and only girlfriend I ever had, I thought of her as the sister I never got to have. Alice was engaged to her boyfriend, Jasper Whitlock, who was waiting.. rather patiently, might I add.. in my living room.
"Ladies!" Came Jasper's voice echoing in my hallway. Ok, scratch the patiently part. "We are going to be late, I hate to be pushy." Alice grabbed me by the arm before either of us could answer and pulled me out of my bedroom, Jasper was leaning up against the door way. "We're ready. Sorry!" Alice said, acting like she was out of breath. Jasper smiled at me as Alice continued to lead me to the front door of my apartment where she proceeded to grab my purse and throw my jacket at me in case I needed it. She didn't stop dragging me by the arm till I was getting into the backseat of their BMW.
Alice cranked up the music and Jasper sped off, we pulled into the parking lot at Rodney's where I saw Mike's car, and right next to it was Eric's. I wondered why they hadn't drove together, I hoped that tomorrow wasn't going to be another day of me and Mike eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream together and watching sappy movies. I sighed as I got out of the car.
