Chapter 1 I woke up to the sound of heavy rain and wind. I sighed and looked at the time and saw that it was only 5:30 am. I thought that I have plenty of time to take shower and get ready for the day. I had an appointment at the University of Washington to submit my paper and get everything sorted to start my masters. By the time I got dressed it was 7:00 am already. I decided to leave early and beat the morning traffic and be their on time. I grabbed my coat , wrote a note for my mother and left to get the bus to seattle. By the time I reached seattle it was already in 8:30, even though seattle to tacoma is only about 40 mins it still took me more than an hour to reach.

I was looking around the campus and wasn't actually paying attention where I was going in my excitement. Suddenly I hit what felt like a brick wall and fell on my ass. I looked up and all I could see was green. I had never seen such a green eyes before and I couldn't look away.
I hurt throat clearing and thats when I noticed that I have ran into a guy and he was the most handsome guy I had ever seen.
He was tall, really tall about 6ft 3'' and he was muscular, I guess that would explain the brick wall.

"Are you alright ?" He asked.

And I realised that I have been staring at him for don't know how long.

"ya I am fine , I am totally fine , I am just a Klutz , I just wasn't paying attention where I was going in my excitement. First day and all you know." I started rambling because I was nervous and I felt my self going red. I hated when I would blush in front of a guy.

And all through my rambling he kept smiling at me as if he has never seen anything this funny before in his life.

'' By the way can you please tell me where is admissions ?" I asked him before I could stop myself. Sometime I really don't have a brain to mouth filter. I don't know why I asked him that. I know where it is.

" Oh ya sure , Just go straight down the hall and it will be on right " . He said

I thanked him and ran from there. I couldn't understand why I was acting this way. I am actually a really normal person.
I finally made it to office with 2 mins to spare. " Isabella Swan " I heard some one called me.
'' That would be me '' I said.

" Good you are here , I am Patrick , but you can call me Beach since there are two of us in the office." he said. He was cute in an all American boy kind of way. blonde hair , blue eyes.

He led me to the office and started the process of my enrolment. By the time I got done with getting my self enrolled . I looked and I was 10:00 am . I decided that I am here so I should get the books as well rather than making another trip in few days.

I was coming out of the bookshop and it was raining like there is no tomorrow , and I couldn't see where my feet were going due to the me trying to balance the books and umbrella , I tripped and fall down on my ass again and in a puddle.

" This is so not my day " . I muttered under my breath as I tried to get up.

" Here let me help you" I heard some one say .
I looked up and it was the guy from the morning. I can't believe I made a fool out of my self twice in front of him. He gave me a hand and pulled me up.

" We really need to stop meeting like this " .He chuckled.

" Are you laughing at me ? " I said.

" Sorry, but I couldn't help , Here are your books " . He said handing me my books.

" Thanks"

" So you are a student here ? " He asked.

" Ya , I am just starting my masters in a week , What about you ? " I said.

" I am a researcher" He replied.

We looked at each other awkwardly for few mins in rain, neither of us knowing what to do.

" By the way I am Edward. " He said suddenly.

" Bella "

" So Bella seeing as its raining , and seeing as you are drenched to your bones , why don't we go to Starbucks across the street and get you dried up and get a coffee . " Edward asked.

I hesitated a bit , because I didn't know him .

" You owe me ". Edward said after seeing me talking a very long pause.

" I owe you ?" I asked

"Yes , You do , for morning and just now". Edward said cheekily .

" Really how ? " I asked while giving him a stare down. Which was very hard since I come barely up to his waist.

" we can have this debate inside , can't we ? " Edward said and started dragging me towards Starbucks.

" What are you doing ? " I asked him. I did get scared for a bit since this kind of a hulk was dragging me

" we are going inside , since you are turning blue " Edward said and kept dragging me .

I realised then that I was shivering and was drenched from head to toe , normally I would scream and put up a fight and I would have not be having a conversation with a total stranger.
But for some reason all my rationale thoughts went out of the window when I was around him.

''Cmon , I won't bite Bella . " Edward said opening the door of coffee shop." Unless you ask me to " . He said with a raised eyebrow.

I noticed then that we have indeed reached Starbucks and I didn't noticed because I was lost in my thoughts. I sighed loudly and went inside.

Edward led me to the table in the far corner. He was a complete gentleman and pulled a chair for me.

" So what would you like ? " He asked.

"Its ok , I'll come with you , " I said.

" No no , just tell me and I'll bring it, there is no point for both of us being in a cue" .Edward said.

I felt awkward but I gave in

" I would like a caramel mochiato Venti please," I said handing him a $10 bill.

" What is this for ? Keep it , I am not taking money from you .'' he said.

" Please take , I can't let you pay for me. " I said

" My mother would have my behind if she found out that I took money from you , Plus no self respecting man let a woman pay . " he said.

" I don't like it , I don't like it at all. Besides don't I owe you , and that is according to you. " I said.

" That is true , I did say that. And you are repaying me with you company " . Edward said and with that he was gone.

I was still processing what has happened since morning when he came back with our coffees

' Thank you "

" You are welcome ".

" So tell me about yourself " .Edward asked.

" Well , I just turned 23 , I am an only child. I come from a long line of doctors. I am Italian and Indian. My mom is anaesthesiologist and my dad was cardiologist."

"What about you ?'' I asked.

" I am 32, I am youngest of the three brothers , My dad has his own business , while my mom is a house wife."

We kept talking and getting to know each other for a long time . I learned that Edward is also partners with his brothers , Emmett and Jasper in their real estate business and that he has a PhD in intellectual Property, and that he is extremely passionate about it. That was one of the many things we had in common.I learned that he is an avid reader, likes cold play and he is a huge Seahawks fan . I never once felt that this is the first time I am meeting him. It seemed like we have known each other for ever.

" Wow , look at the time , It's 3:00 already. We been talking for hours." I said after looking at the time mid conversation.

" As they say, time flies while you are having fun." Edward said.

" You live on campus? " Edward asked.

" No I live in Tacoma , and I should get going it is long bus ride." I said.

Edward was a complete gentleman , walking me till the bus.

" Well nice meeting you Edward and thanks for the coffee " I said when I saw bus approaching.

" It was nice meeting you as well , I hope to see you soon " . Edward said.

" I am sure you will see me around campus " . I smiled

" Let me know if you need anything and take care " . Edward said.

I waved him off and got on the bus. On the way back I kept thinking of how Edward made me feel. I had never felt at ease and got butterflied before. " I really hope that I get so see him again soon ". With that thought I put my earphones in and lost myself in the music...
