I started to wonder when Alice would be back, I'm sure any minute now but yet, I wanted to stay and talk with this attractive stranger.
"I guess your friend will be back soon. It was nice meeting you Bella" Edward said with his dazzling smile
"You too" I replied.
" see you around" he spoke and winked at me, he rose from his seat and walked out towards the exit.

My heart was beating too fast. Would I see him again? Hell would I. Seattle is such a big place, it's stupid to think I'd bump into that gorgeous man again. Should I have given him my number?
Oh Bella. Don't be silly, you don't do things like that.
Alice strolled back to me with a smile on her face.
"You okay?" She asked and I knew she only asked this cause of the Cheshire cat grin plastered across my blushing cheeks.
"Yep. Mr Gorgeous came to say hello" I laughed and Alice's eyes near enough popped out of her head.
"Oh Bella! You have to tell me everything!" she demanded. I rolled my eyes.
"His name is Edward and that's all I got." I explained.
She frowned slightly, " did you get his number? Or did you give him yours?"
"um.. no" I admitted and I kinda wish I did now.
"Aw Bella" Alice spoke and I now really regretted it.
"It's okay. He said see you around, so you never know" I pushed that at her.
Her eyes lit up " oh! That means he's planning on seeing you again. Good news" and she was clapping with glee again.

After many more dance moves and drinks I decided to stumble home, Alice got a taxi cause she couldn't stay at mine as someone has work tomorrow. Oh work, this would be hell. Alice tried to stay with me but I pushed her into the taxi, it was only a twenty minute walk – I'm sure I could make that, right?

The night time air was cold and it gripped me at every force. I took my deadly heals off and stumbled bare foot back to my apartment. I was walking down the darkest street of Seattle I swear when I heard some voices behind me. I'm not stupid to know to beware of people at night, especially when you've been out drinking too. I tried to focus on walking straight and not falling over. The voices were getting louder which meant the men were getting closer and at that moment I wanted to full pelt, run home but I know, being me – i'd fall and injure myself severely.
"Hey" one of the guys shouted. His voice was low and I could tell just from that, I bet he was a big built lad. I ignored him and kept walking. Only two more streets to walk and I'd be home, safe in the arms of my bed.
"Helloooo, " he shouted again and I swear he was right up behind me. My heart started to beat really fast as adrenaline spiked into my system. I was shitting myself really fucking badly.
"Stop, we just want to say hello" the voice spoke and he was slurring so it was clear he was drunk too. I started to pick up the pace a bit but that was the worst idea cause I tripped over my own feet and landed flat on my face. I heard laugher from 4 deep voices and I knew they were now towering over me.
Two strong hands helped me up but didn't let me go. 4 faces stared at me and I wanted to spit at each of them.
"Well, well, well, you are pretty" one of the men said and I felt the sickness started to grow in my stomach.
"Let me go" I slurred out and tried to pull my arm free but alas they were so much stronger than me.

"hey, we just want to help you up and talk a bit" one of the men laughed. It was so dark I couldn't really see their faces. I wondered if I should scream and maybe one of the people in these houses would come out and save me. But who would go outside to danger at 3am? I bet half these people were dead to the world.
Their hands were gripping tighter but they didn't have hold of my legs so I flung my leg up and hit the guy in front of me straight in the goodies.
"Bitch" he screamed and bent down to the ground.
"Fuck, Alex you okay?" I felt a slight release from my arms and I pulled myself free from the men and started to run down the street.
"Hey you little bitch" and I heard some heavy footsteps run after me. I didn't know if I could out run them but I had to keep going. I was so close to home right now. I turned to look behind me to see if I could see the on coming men when I crashed into someone. I was going to scream but he put his finger to his lips and pulled me into the little ally down the side of the house. I saw the group of men run past the ally and I felt a sigh of relief. I started to breath really heavily and my body went into shock.
"Are you okay?" a voice asked and I recognised it from the bar. It was him. That god like creature. He saved me.
Shit. I couldn't speak. I leant against the wall and then slide down until my butt hit the cold hard ground. He followed me down but with much more grace.
"Thanks" I let out after my breathing calmed down. I examined myself a little and saw the beautiful graze on my arm.
"No problem. Are you sure you're okay?" He was so caring it made my heart swell.
"Yeah. I'm just in shock I think".
"It's very hard for me not to go after them... dicks and kill them" he let out and it was kind of scary cause he sounded like he meant it. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt safe and not scared. I felt protected. Oh this stranger, he was my knight in shining armer.
"I'd rather you just stay with me" I admitted. He placed his hand on mine for some comfort.
"here, lets get you home" and he helped me up and walked me down the street. I directed him to my apartment. I insisted he let me go up myself but he had none of it and said what if you fell up the stairs? And I laughed cause that is something I would do.
We reached my apartment but, he took the keys from my hand helped me inside. I looked around and saw my blanket and ice cream still sat where I left them. He placed me on my sofa and picked the said blanket and wrapped it over my legs.
"oh Bella, your head" he exclaimed and I placed my fingers to my forehead where I could feel the warm liquid oozing. Darn it.
"Oh" I let out and couldn't recall feeling any pain.
"Where's your kitchen?" he asked and I pointed behind me where the god walked to. He came back with a damp paper towel and placed it against my head. It felt heavenly.
"Sorry" I mumbled. " I bet you didn't think you'd be nursing a stupid girl you met in a bar for 5 minutes tonight".
He laughed at me and I was wondering did I say a joke or something?
"Please. Bar them hideous men. I think playing super man" he winked " to a very beautiful girl was an okay end to my evening – though I am sorry you got hurt" and he generally looked like he meant every word of what he said. I felt the heat run to my cheeks at his compliment
"Thank you for saving me" I replied and I meant that too. If it weren't for him, it would've been really bad.
"what were you doing down the ally anyway?" I asked and wondered if he was going to reply with, just killing a girl or something.
"It's a short cut to my house, I live behind you – sort of. I was walking down there when I heard shouting. I walked back to the end and saw you running". He explained and thank god he was there.

"well, it's good you were there I guess" I replied. And he smiled.

He stood up from my sofa and ran his hands through his gorgeous bronze hair.
"I better get going. Will you be okay?" he asked. How could this man be so perfect, he's so caring and so wonderful. I have no idea who this man is, other than his name – but I wanted to know more. I was infatuated.

"yes thanks, I'll be fine. Thank you" and I walked him to the front door. He stared into my eyes and I did into his green and I swear I got lost a little.
"See you around then" and he winked again then turned around and walked down the hallway. I couldn't help but peek my head around the door and look at his perfect butt.

Bella Swan, what have you got yourself into? You're the new Louis Lane.
