Chapter 1:Date Night
BPOV
Edward called me into his office today asking me to order a dozen roses for his wife, and make reservations for him, for his anniversary. I'm screwed. Why do all the good-looking guys, (who aren't complete and total jerks), taken?
I swear to God, I could just explode. I need a break. I walked into the break room, where fresh coffee was sitting the pot, just waiting for me. I got my coffee and sipped letting the warmth fill my throat. I sighed.
"Am I interrupting anything?" Jacob (Edward's business partner) said.
"No, just enjoying some coffee."
"The coffee is good isn't it?" I nodded. Okay, this room seriously just fort awkward.
"Bella, I've have been meaning to ask you this for a long time, but never got the courage to do it,"he said. I stared at him nervously.
"What is it?"
"Would you...like to...go out on a date...with me?" Okay the awkward in this room just got 10 times worse. I really wanna say no because he's technically my boss, but I also wanna say yes because he seems like a really nice guy. I'm gonna tell him no, "Yes." Damn my mouth.
"Great, I'll pick you up at seven on Friday." He walked out more confident.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm freaking out. Jake is gonna pick me up at seven to take me out on a date. This feels wrong. He's my boss. Technically.
It wouldn't feel wrong if Edward was asking you out.
Oh shut up! Great, now I'm arguing with myself. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear a knocking at the door. Wow, time really flies when you're arguing with yourself. I went to go answer the door. I open the door to find that Jake in a black tux with a beautiful bouquet of red roses.
"Hello Bella, these are for you," he hands me e flowers and steps inside my apartment.
"Thank you." I go put them in a vase. After I go put the flowers in a vase, Jake holds out his hand. I reluctantly take it.
"Ready to go?"
"Sure." I swallow thickly.
As we were walking to the car I asked Jake where we're going for dinner.
"We'll be going to that new italian place. It's called Bella Italia. Oh my f-ing Jesus. Of all the freakin' restaurant in New York, he had to pick that new restaurant that everybody wants to go to all the sudden. Yeah, but Edward is going to be there. Dammit.
author's note: I messed up on this chapter so I had to make some adjustments. To all those people who have read this chapter, read it one more time. Maybe the story will make more sense.
