I have now realized that it is rather stupid to post the first chapter to anything just before exams. You tend to end up writing instead of revising, so if I have to retake them I am totally blaming you guys. Jokes...kinda?

But yes I have had exams and coursework and gigs and all sorts of crazy stuff so this got pushed to the back a bit. But I shall be good from now on I promise! *Crosses fingers* I hope.

People actually read this *panics* D: Thanks to you guys who reviewed, you honestly have no idea how glad I was when I opened them and instead of saying "what the fudge is this?" they said "I love it!" Well I love you guys! You rock *high fives*

This one is for Abbey and the Frew for being awesome and telling me to keep writing...or there would be consequences O.O

Tess for being my Gig Buddy and queuing for over seven hours with me in the rain to see MCR! And who's first comments after reading the first chapter was "Lol at Edward Cullen saying bad times."

And Crystal for having such an awesome name...

Nuff' said!

They say that coffee can be the cure for any problem. Of course I did not miss the irony of the fact that I worked in a coffee shop but could not stand the taste of it. However, although it tasted like tar it smelt like heaven in my opinion and so I could happily spend a whole day in here preparing coffee and not need a mug of the offending stuff.

Although I could drink a mocha as the chocolate blocked out the taste of the coffee, or a latte as it was so milky you could hardly taste anything else.

Of course this was probably the most stupid to be thinking when sitting across the booth from me was Edward Cullen drinking a cup of coffee. But if I didn't think about how much I hated coffee I would think of the feel of his lips on mine and then how his hands held me and I would not be able to have a civilized conversation after that happened.

Not that we were really having a civilized conversation. In fact neither one of us had said a word in nearly fifteen minutes.

After we finally separated ourselves Edward silently sat down in a booth whilst I went to refill his coffee and made myself a caramel cream. Pfft screw it, I needed something with coffee in right now so I joined him in a latte and joined him at the booth. This is how we had stayed for the past ten minutes, both lost in our own thoughts.

At some point one of us had to start this 'talk' and I knew for a fact it wasn't going to be me. What would I say anyway?

Edward started to shift around on the bench; obviously he was finding this as awkward as I was. I avoided looking at him and instead stared at the wall behind and suddenly noticed the time. It was almost half twelve and I could hear my bed whispering to me from my flat, reminding me that I had several feather pillows to sink into and a large duvet to snuggle under. Hmmm, snuggling, me and Edward snuggling...NO! Sleep first then snuggle. I may have just made out with a superstar but that didn't mean I wasn't tired. At least I still had my priorities in order and sleep was the first thing on my list of things to do. I was so lost in my own world that when Edward did start to speak I jumped a little and spilt my latte all down myself. Of course I was past caring at this point, an elephant could come crashing through the shop and I probably wouldn't even blink. I attempted to rub it off before remembering that Edward had said something. I gave up trying to remove the stain and looked over at him.

"I'm sorry what?" He chuckled over at me and tweaked my nose.

"I said, come my show tomorrow" He checked his watch "Well it's technically today, but you should come."

"It's sold out" He chuckled again.

"I think I could manage to get you in" He looked over at me, his eyes still laughing. Of course he could get me a ticket it was his show. Damn word vomit! How I hate you.

"Um, okay" He was still looking over at me. I shifted nervously before looking at him again. "So are we gonna talk about what just happened?"

He smiled knowingly over at me "What you agreeing to come to my show" Oh darn him, he was going to make me say it wasn't he!

"Well you know, we...and then...and stuff?"I felt my cheeks burn, so what if I couldn't say it out loud. I was too much of a wuss, but he knew what I meant. He laughed over at me, a full head thrown back laugh and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I closed my eyes, the image of him burnt there forever.

"So there is the girl from the phone. I wondered where she was hiding." He face fell and he sighed. "But yes I know what you are talking about, and I honestly don't know" He sighed again and ran his hands through his hair causing it to stick up in all directions. It was adorable and I couldn't help myself when I reached across to flick a stray bit back that had fallen onto his forehead. I went to pull my hand away but he grabbed it and held it in his two, drawing circles on the back of my hand. "I..." another sigh "I like you Bella, and I know, I know it sounds stupid when you consider I have only known you for an hour. But you fascinate me. I feel at home around you, like I can be just Edward, not Edward Cullen the singer. And I want to spend more time with you. I want to be around you. But..."

"But you're in the middle of a massive tour and where would you find the time to visit a little waitress." He started to protest but I cut him off. "Look, I like you too Edward. Heck I thought I liked you before we even meet. But you're even more amazing in person. You're funny and kind and so down to earth. You aren't arrogant or judgemental you're, well, you're just you!" He was looking over at me with the biggest smile on his face.

"You are something else, truly. Look you have to come tonight. In fact scratch that! You are coming early"

"Coming early? What?"

"You're coming to the rehearsal; I can show you around the place and we can spend more time together before the show!" He looked so excited, how could I say no! I nodded unable to speak. His smile grew in size and I smiled back. He put my hands down and continued to drink his coffee the smile never leaving his face. At that moment he reminded me of a small child so easily amused by the idea of me coming to his rehearsal. I yawned the time finally catching up with me I really needed my bed! Edward noticing my yawn laughed a little and stood up pulling his jacket on. I stood as well placing our mugs in the sink for whoever opened tomorrow. I ran to the back room and grabbed my coat and purse. Edward waited for me and walked me to the door, he was even a gentleman! Was there a single flaw to this man! I turned out the lights and locked the door behind us nervous about what would come next.

I turned from the door to see his face inches from mine. I squealed a little in shock and jumped back into the door. I placed my hand over my heart to check it hadn't escaped my chest in shock. "What are you doing?" I gasped out.

His eyebrows furrowed in concentration "trying to figure you out" He stood up straight and looked at me.

"Well you defiantly need sleep if you think that all the answers are written on the back of my head." He gave a small chuckle and stepped back. "I wish it was that easy, but I do need to sleep, big day and all you know. Promise me you will come"

I walked over to him as we started to leave the parking lot and grabbed his arm.

"I promised I will be there. Scouts honour and everything!" We stopped at the corner of the street and turned to each other as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone handing it to me. "Be there say around four?" I placed my number in his phone and handed it back.

"Four it is, big looking building right?" I smiled up at him as he ruffled my hair, strangely it didn't anger me when he did this unlike when Emmett did. He leaned down and placed a small innocent kiss on my lips my eyes closing instantly trying to make the kiss last a little longer. He sighed against my lips and stepped back walking down the street backwards "Tomorrow, promise?" He called as he walked.

"Promise!" I shouted back. He smiled and turned walking around the corner. I stood there still in a daze until I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I jumped and started to walk in the direction of my apartment. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and read as I walked.

By the way, if you don't show up tomorrow I will be forced to make another embarrassing phone call again and we both know how you hate those don't we. E xx

I smiled to myself as I walked and replied.

To. Edward C

From. Bella S

Well if I don't go and happen to get a phone call I will simply ignore it thus saving myself the embarrassment. B xxx

I let myself into the building and started the dreaded hike up to my apartment on the sixth floor. I felt his reply on the third set of stairs.

To. Bella S

From. Edward C

You wouldn't dare! E xx

I let myself into the apartment throwing my keys on the side and kicking off my shoes and I made my way to my room.

To. Edward C

From. Bella S

I wouldn't dare what? Not turn up or answer the phone? B xxx

I threw on my pyjamas and trudged into the kitchen to get a glass of water to take to bed. I crawled into my cocoon of warmth and grabbed my phone from the side.

From. Edward C

To. Bella S

Both. You at home yet? E xx

I felt those damn butterflies attack my stomach like I was a teenager again. But man I felt alive!

To. Edward C

From. Bella S

Yep all snuggled up in my cocoon of warmth :D You? B xxx

Was it stupid that I was nervous about his reply? I had never really done this kind of thing as a teenager so I had no idea whether what I was sending was the right reply or the wrong reply. My phone signalled his reply and I was almost too afraid to open it, I closed my eyes and hit the read message button then peeked out of one eye and finally read the message.

To. Bella S

From. Edward C

I'm at the hotel, but my manager sent me a message saying there would have to be some set and song changes before tomorrow so I have to stay up for a little longer to sort that out. I have feeling it will involve moving the barriers so I can't grab random fans phones...oh well , no rest for the wicked as they say. E xxx

I was infatuated with the man yes, but I still panicked for a second that he may want to keep talking until he went to bed and that could be hours from now. I had worked a stupidly long shift and I needed sleep damnit!

To. Edward C

From. Bella S

You poor baby! See! That's what you get for stealing someone's phone. I feel the word Karma could come into play here :p Don't stay up too late you need to be alive to entertain me tomorrow! Remember! B xxx

From. Edward C

Don't worry I will be the perfect host tomorrow. And don't be cheeky missy! I will have you know I am a real boy now mummy, I don't need sleep! I laugh in the face of sleep! However I feel you do so I shall leave you to your cocoon of warmth. Goodnight Coffee Girl. Sweet dreams. E xxx

I honestly think my heart just burst, I was on such I high I even ignored the fact he had called me Coffee Girl, a thing I knew I would later regret.

I switched my phone of and placed it on the side knowing that otherwise I would end up replying to him again. I snuggled down further into my den of pillows and closed my eyes, that stupid grin still on my face.

The last thing I thought before sleep caught me was surprisingly how much I loved that damn coffee shop.

The first thing I noticed was that the light coming into my room was far too bright for it too have been morning. I dug my way out of my pillows until I could see my alarm clock next to the bed. 11:32. Well crap! It was nearly midday! At least I had slept for nearly ten hours, usually I was lucky to get seven. I grabbed my phone wondering why Alice hadn't burst into my room hours ago demanding I get up. I watched the phone power up in a daze. I really wasn't a morning person. I needed tea before I could function properly, that and a rather large bowl of Lucky Charms. My phone finally decided to work but then it suddenly went crazy. I threw it onto the bed like it had turned into a wild animal, which I was starting to fear it had. After a minute of two it finally calmed down and I picked it up gingerly, scared what I might find.

7 missed calls: Alice B, Jasper H.

Five new messages: Alice B, Edward C.

I crawled out of bed and into the kitchen I really needed tea. What the Fudge happened last night.

I opened the messages first. Three proclaimed that I had voicemail one was from Alice saying that if I did not phone her soon she would come and beat my sorry ass up. The last was from Edward C and sent at Half four in the morning.

To. Bella S

From. Edward C

I know your asleep but thought I would let you know that I am finally going to bed so no need to panic, I shall have my beauty sleep (not that I need it) E xxx

Everything that happened last night came back in a flash, the phone call, then the shop and the texting and the kiss. Oh Gosh the Kiss! Then the date! I heard my phone hit the floor my mind going into mental breakdown at the reminder of what was to happen today. The sound of the kettle whistling brought me back to reality and I grabbed my phone from the floor listening to the voicemail as I made my tea. Who knew Alice had such colourful language when she was mad? Well me of course but these were a new level. I decided to phone her back before she put one of her many threats into action. Unfortunately she answered on the second ring,

"Well, look who finally graced us with her presence" I groaned and rubbed my eyes.

"Morning to you too Alice" I could feel her anger through the phone. "Good morning? GOOD MORNING! YOU WON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD MORNING BY THE TIME I'M THROUGH WITH YOU! JUST WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LAST NIGHT HUH? JASPER TOLD ME THAT YOU ASKED HIM TO HAVE ME! WHAT THE FUDGE BELLA!"

"That is what I was going to tell you about actually, but since you've taken that tone you can forget it!" Oh how I loved playing with her. Her tone changed instantly.

"Wait something big happened didn't it! You have to tell me! Bella please!"

"Actually I need your help with something"

"What?"

"Look comes round and I can explain everything to you... after I strangle you of course"

"Give me five, no Ten!" She hung up and I ran to the bathroom to begin preparations for the day.

I had never seen Alice speechless in the entire time I had known her, and that had been a long time. She had entered the flat to find me sat in my room my entire wardrobes contents on the floor around me, she of course panicked thinking I was having a breakdown because apparently me taking an interest in my appearance meant a breakdown. Thanks Alice.

I calmed her down by telling her what happened yesterday and why I needed to look good, I was spending the day with Edward Cullen...

She hadn't said anything since. She was still sat on the end of my bed just staring at me, mouth wide open and everything. I reached out to close her mouth, when my phone vibrated on the side. I reached for it.

C

To. Bella S

Morning Coffee Girl. I have my morning coffee, not as good as yours but still and I am off to the arena. You better be there at four! E xxx

I smiled and showed the message to her. She gasped and jumped up and down on the bed before leaping at me. "Bella! You're going on a date with THE Edward Cullen! I am soooo proud of you!"

"Well it's not a date" I mumbled "We're just gonna hang out and stuff"

"If you say so...Come on I have to make you presentable and I only have so long!" I shoved her off me "Hey!"

I had to admit that Alice was a life saver and miracle worker. She had teamed some faded grey skinny jeans with a fitted band tee that read "Killjoys make some noise" and my red converse. She had given me smoky eyes and a red lip stain. I kept biting my lips watching them bring out the colour in the mirror. It was coming up to half three and I was nervous now. What if he realized I was in fact a total nerd and klutz and never wanted to see me again! I turned to Alice about to claim that I couldn't go when she shoved my jacket and bag into my arms and shoved me out the door telling me to 'Go get my man'. Well great.

The ride there was eventful, I tapped my leg nervously on the bus which made the man next to me throw constant angry glances at me then as I left the bus my bag caught on the door and I nearly got dragged off again. By the time I arrived I was a mess. I was glad that I had refused Alice's invitation for a quick lunch as I felt ready to be sick. There was already a long queue next to building of squealing girls, some carrying signs that said things like 'MARRY ME EDWARD' and a rather strange one that said 'OUR BABIES WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL WE WERE MADE TO REPRODUCE TOGETHER.' I ran up the stairs and up to the desk where two girls were currently talking to the receptionist. There was a low murmur of a guitar being played coming from a large set of double doors guarded by two large men. I turned back to the desk.

"I swear on my life that Edward Cullen and I are like related by like blood and stuff and he told me to meet him today so that we could like reconnect!" I looked at the girl. She was blonde and towered over the other girl who was small with short mousy brown hair. Neither of them looked in anyway related to Edward. The receptionist obviously realized this too and very calmly placed her hands on the desk in front of her.

"Yes, you and five other girls today have claimed to be related to Mr. Cullen. Strange don't you think?" She raised her eyebrows at them a small smirk on her face. "If you can give me your names I will have them given to Mr. Cullen along with his other supposed relatives and if you are in fact his long lost whatever then indeed feel free to go see him. Until then however I suggest you go and stand in the queue." One of the girls turned to go but the other grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Fine my name is Crystal and this here is Tess, and just you wait! When Edward runs out here and demands to know who refused us entry we both know who will be blamed." The receptionist merely raised her eyebrows higher and replied "Of course dear." The girl stormed off dragging her poor friend with her. I mentally high fived the receptionist, man was she awesome. I approached her desk where she was busily typing away.

"Um, hi, I'm here to see Edward" She didn't look up.

"Of course dear, and what are you his long lost sister?" I took it back, I hated this woman. "No, just a friend actually." She finally looked up and me. "Well that's a first. Just a friend. I must commend you dear on your originality it's usually his long lost sister of his secret girlfriend. But still the answer is no." I sighed, what was wrong with this woman! Fine! Two can play that game!

"No really I am here to see him. I will phone him if you like?" Take That!

"Go right ahead dear" Damn she still didn't believe me. Well watch this she devil! I pulled out my phone and scrolled till I got to Edward number and pressed call. The quiet guitar playing instantly stopped and I raised my eyebrows at her. Point one to me! Edward finally answered the phone.

"Heya Bella. Where are you?" I turned away from the desk a smile growing on my face. Man his voice was beautiful.

"I'm outside"

"Well why aren't you coming in?" I could hear loud banging noises echoing through the phone.

"We are having a few security problems, apparently although the whole I'm a friend excuse is new it still won't get me in."

"Crap, yeah I forgot to give Dorothy the heads up that you were coming today. Give me a sec." He hung up and I turned towards the receptionist. The she devil was called Dorothy, how could such a sweet name be given to such an evil person. I smiled over at her. "He's sorting it now"

"I bet he is love, I bet he is." Right at that moment Edward came through the doors and into the reception. I turned to him and took a moment to admire the God in front of me. He was wearing another dark t-shirt with a pair of slouch jeans and no shoes. Wait, no shoes? Why was he not wearing shoes or socks? Of course being me I vocalized this too him as he walked over.

"Why are you barefoot?" He grabbed me in a hug. "Hi Bella, It's good to see you too. I have had a lovely day, thank you for asking." I felt myself blush against his chest. "Hello Edward" He laughed and stepped away from me, his arm still around my shoulders. "I have no idea why I rehearse barefoot, I just always have and always will" He winked at me and turned to Dorothy "Dorothy my dear, this here is Bella and she is our special guest for the day!" Dorothy blushed over at me and mumbled out what I assume was 'Hello Bella' but I didn't care because Edward had started pulling me towards the large double doors.

The arena was massive, and I'm talking thousands and thousands of empty seats, which was actually quite freaky. We walked through the sea of seats towards a massive stage. I had never been here before. Sure I had heard of all the gigs that were being played but I had always been at home or at work. I really needed to get out more. We turned down one of the aisles towards a large black box. I found out that the box was actually a small platform covered in equipment. Two men were sat in large black chairs; they were both wearing massive headphones with microphones attached. Edward turned towards me. "This is Laurent and James; they do the lighting and mics for the show I need to do a few more checks so I need you to stay here with them for a bit" He grabbed a set of headphones and placed them on my head. "Now the mic on here will feed straight into my earpiece here" He pointed to a small earpiece "and then I will reply through the stage mic which will feed into here" He tapped the side of the headphones and it vibrates through my head. He smiled down at me and stroked my cheek with the back of his hands "Thank you for coming today. I didn't think you would"

"I promised didn't I" I smiled up at him. He stroked my cheek once more and turned towards the stage.

Up until this moment I had argued on whether I preferred the sound of his laughter or his singing but nothing truly compared to the sound of his voice spoken directly into my ear. It didn't matter that he was in fact stood on the stage, the headphones made it sound like he was stood directly beside me. I was so lost in the sensation of his voice that I wasn't focusing on what he was saying so I decided to concentrate. But then he chuckled and I was lost again.

I became aware again when I realised that he was calling my name. Knowing I couldn't respond without making a fool of myself I waved towards the stage instead.

"Bella I said I needed to check my earpiece. Can you say something?" Great now I didn't even have to open my mouth to look an idiot. I sighed, loudly. I saw Edward flinch on the stage.

"Yep, it works...words would have better though" I cringed,

"Sorry" He spent a few minutes moving the stool and guitar around until he seemed comfortable and then started to strum a few cords whilst James and Laurent seemed to play with the dials next to me. James turned to the stage."Okay Edward we want you to go from where we left off" Edward nodded and soon the strumming turned into notes. Notes I recognized instantly. This had been one of the first songs of his that I had listened too. It was beautiful and a favourite of mine. I felt the tears fall instantly. I had never cried this much in my whole life as I had in the past two days.

I turned to see both James and Laurent staring at me. "Are you crying?"

"No! I just have something in my eye okay!" I rubbed my hands under my eyes to wipe away any evidence, they were still staring. Laurent turned towards James. "Dude, she's gone already. She is smitten with him like the rest of them!"

"He always gets the good ones" Laurent gave him a pat on the back and I turned back towards the stage. I had to get through this without crying.

I did in fact manage to get through the first half of rehearsals, although there were more tears and a dribbly nose ever once in a while. Thankfully Edward didn't see it as he was on stage. Unfortunately he heard it. The first thing Edward did when he got of stage was to ask if I had a cold. I just mumbled a yes and hoped he would let it go. However this ended in my favour when Edward decided I had to wear his hoodie to keep myself warm. I might have a cold more often.

I watched the second half sat in a chair at the back with a hot chocolate snuggled in the scent of Edward and it was truly the best afternoon of my life, even though the fun had yet to begin. Edward came back to where I was sat and fell into the chair next to me. "I have to go and change and get my hair done. They should start letting people in soon and the support act will play. You can stay in the booth with James and Laurent if you like or you can be in the standing crowd or you can have a seat. It's really up to you" He turned towards me and handed me a pass. "This will get you backstage if you want." I twisted in my seat so that I was facing him.

"Are you nervous?" He chuckled a little and took my hand tracing it with his fingers. "I'm always a little nervous before a show but that's a good thing. I like to think the nerves make me perform better." He smiled shyly at me and I wanted so badly to kiss him again. I had spent the past two hours watching him on stage and now all I wanted to do was pull him towards me and start where we left of last night. But in the end I just pulled him towards me for a hug however he must have been feeling the same because as I went to pull away but he pulled me towards him again and claimed my lips as his. I once again revelled in the taste of him. He pulled away and smiled at my pout. "I've been wanting to do that all day." My pout turned into a smile quickly. "Really?"

"Really. You have no idea how sexy you are in my clothing" I pulled him towards me again but we were interrupted by security. I glared towards them. "Mr. Cullen you have to get backstage soon, they are going to start letting people in." Edward sighed and after a quick kiss stood and faced the security. "Thank you, I'll go now" They turned and left us.

He smiled down at me. "Showtime!"

"I'll see you on the other side"

"You'll wait for me?"

"Of course! I think I'll need a coffee after this anyway"

"Well I do love a coffee after the show" He came towards me and started to pull me out of the chair I swatted him away laughing. "Go! Before the fan girls get in here!"

"You'd protect me from them wouldn't you?"

"There are only so many girls I can fight off at once!"

"Well I better get going then before we get attacked!"

"Go!" He kissed me once more and jogged off behind the stage. I made my way towards James and Laurent who once again were staring at me, this time with mouths open. I jokingly shoved both their shoulders. "What are you staring at?" They both turned around in the seats and started fiddling with the dials. "Nothing." I laughed and turned when screaming girls started to run in as the doors were opened.

Let the show begin.

There we have it! Part two!

Review and let me know what you think :3

And yes people really do cry at gigs, I have witnessed it. Maybe even taken part .
