Well chapter two :)
All things Twilight belong to STEPHENIE MEYER
I could not look away these amazing green eyes held me captive until, "I'm hungry!" Then all of a sudden it felt like I was coming out of a fog.
I looked around and saw two other men behind Mr. Green Eyes. The first one had blond hair and was a little shorter than Mr. Green eyes, about 6 "2 maybe. He seemed like the calm type of guy. Then I looked at the guy next to him and I could not stop staring at his huge muscles, he seriously looked like a bodybuilder. The bodybuilder man had muscles as big as my thigh, he really made me want to run out of the room and never come out! I looked at his face and just smiled, he had the cuties dimples I have ever seen.
"You're the group that sits at table nine, right?" I said to them finally looking away from dimples. I looked back at Mr. Green and I stood frozen in my spot just looking him over, he was wearing a business suite. He also had the craziest bronze hair, I just wanted to run my fingers through it. I looked towards his face and he had a strong chiseled jaw that made him look so manly. Just by looking at this man my body started tingling all over.
"Yes ma'am," Mr. Green said looking at up and me with the weirdest expression. I saw his eyes travel down looking over at my pathetic outfit my boss makes us all wear, a short black mini skirt with a plain white top. It made us look like we were all in high school still.
"Okay follow me please." I sat them at table nine, which was a huge table that was by the window. It was the only table that was separated from the others.
"What can I get you fella's to drink today?"
"Where's Rosie?" The bodybuilder asked looking around the room. I contemplated whether I should tell this man or not, but rose did serve them every day so I decided it should be fine and it's not like their killers or something.
"Um, uh well, she had to go pick her son up from school…So about those drinks?" I asked trying to get away from the talk about Rose.
"Wait is Bobby ok?" Bodybuilder asked looking like he was about to run from the room. How the hell did he know Rose's son's name? I wondered.
"He got sick at school, I'm sure he'll be fine um…."
"Excuse his manners. I'm Edward and these are my brothers Emmett and Jasper." Mr. Green eyes said.
I glanced up at Green eyes and he was staring at me so intensely I just had to get out of there. "So can I take your drink orders?" They told me what the wanted and I quickly ran to the back of the dinner to fill their orders.
"Are those hooligans treating you well?" Murphy whispered in my ear, making me jump. Murphy has owned the dinner for about 20yrs and he's like an uncle to me and the other waitresses that work here. He's been a real help to me since I first started at the dinner.
"Murphy you don't need to be worrying about me I'm a big girl." He looked at me like I better tell him what he wanted to know. Knowing murphy if I didn't tell him he would storm out there and ask them himself. "Of course Murphy they are being like any normal customer that I have ever had. What makes these guys so different?"
He looked at me like I was stupid, "Bells just stay as far away from those men as you can, they're not the type of people a young girl like you needs to be hanging out with." He said with a stern look on his face.
"Murphy I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." I told him, I might have sounded a little harsher than I should have because Murphy had a hurt look on his face. "I better get these drinks out to them."
When I was half way to the table I got the feeling of being watched so I looked up. I saw Green eyes looking right at me, he looked like he was about to bolt out of his seat. "Is everything all right?" I said staring at Green eyes.
"A lady like you should not have to carry a heavy tray like that." I felt my face start to turn pink from my embarrassment.
"Thanks, but I know how to handle myself." He turned to look at me and murmured under his breath "Not if I have anything to say about it." His eyes got real big after he said it looking at me trying to see if I heard him.
I just looked away pretending that I heard nothing. "So, what would you guys like to eat?" I said looking at my writing pad, afraid to look at Green eyes.
After they told me their order I gave the slip to Murphy and stepped out the back door for a breather, I needed to digest everything that happened since Rose left.
I'm not usually a smoker I only smoked when I needed to clear my mind. I pulled one out of the pack I had in my apron, but realized I forgot my lighter. So I walked to the front of the diner to get to my car and I saw Mr. Green eyes leaning on the wall by the open sign smoking a cigarette. "Lucky me," I thought. I just stared for a minute looking at the scene in front of me. He looked so carefree I just wanted to know everything about this man.
He suddenly looked right at me. With a smug grin on his face he took a few steps toward me and I realized I was also walking towards him. He was about a foot away from me when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a lighter "Here ya need this?" He asked handing me the lighter.
I took the lighter from him and lit my cigarette. "I don't usually smoke." After I said it my faced turned pink, why the hell am I telling him this, like he cares! I thought, looking down at my feet.
He moved a step closer to me and touched my cheek. I felt a tingling sensation surge through my body and I gasped. My face turned even pinker and I heard him chuckle. He moved his finger down my cheek to the bottom of my chin and lifted my face up so I was staring at those beautiful green eyes.
"I love your blush." He said with that smug grin again. I couldn't help not smiling back at him. He moved his finger from my face and I almost pulled it back to me. I think I was already addicted to his touch and that smug grin.
I looked down at my cigarette and lost my smile. Not because it was almost gone, but because I would have to go back into the diner soon and wouldn't get to talk to this amazing man anymore. He realized I was looking down and looked also.
"What's wrong beautiful?" He asked me throwing his cigarette on the ground.
"Just have to get back to work soon. Your brothers are probably pissed they haven't gotten their food yet." I told him. He instantly lost his smirk and looked back at the diner. He looked back at me and said, "Beautiful what are you doing after your shift?"
I was stunned, why would he want to know? Is he going to ask me out? As I thought this I snorted out loud. His mouth went from its signature smirk to a frown, his eyes also changed from the beautiful green to a deep blue-green color. I didn't like this at all I wanted my Mr. Green back!
I confidently looked at his face and said, "I have no plans at all Mr. Gr-Edward."
"Mr. Edward? It's just Edward from you beautiful." He searched my eyes for something and he must have found it by the smirk that lit his face up. "Beautiful, would you give me the pleasure of going out to dinner with me tonight?"
Like I even needed to think about it! "I don't think I can tonight Edward, American idol is on and I really can't miss it." I told him trying to mess around. He looked devastated, and I couldn't stand it. "But I think I can make an exception for you." I said with my own smirk.
"Beautiful were you trying to mess with me?" he asked, I looked up to his eyes again and my Mr. Green eyes was back. "I'll pick you up at eight." He said giving me a wink.
"But I have nothing to wear." I said looking nervous.
"I'll bring you something. You don't need to worry about anything tonight, I'm going to take care of you." He said looking very serious. I really didn't know how I felt about this. I never really had anyone take care of me besides my father.
I looked down and saw my cigarette burnt down to the filter and flung it in the grass. "Edward you don't need to do that, ill just go home real quick, change and" He put a finger up to my mouth to silence me.
"Beautiful I'm bringing you something and that's the end of it." He said with a little edge to his voice.
"BELLA!" We heard someone shouting. Edward's hand flew to the inside of his suite jacket and looked in all directions looking for the source of the voice screaming my name.
"What are you doing? It's just Murphy in the kitchen." I said looking bewildered at him.
He gave me that smirk saying, "Of course." Then he removed his hand from the inside of his suite jacket. "Remember eight." He said with a wink going back into the diner. I stood there for a minute breathing deeply to calm my nerves.
"BELLA!" I ran to the back to where murphy was standing in the doorway. "Where the hell were you? This food has been done for five minutes, you're not going to get a very good tip bells." He said looking sad for me.
"Oh I got a tip alright." I said under my breath.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, better get that food out before I get fired." I got the food and walk out to the table. I looked up about half way through getting it to them when Mr. Green eyes got up from the table and took two plates out of my hand. "Edward I got it, sit!" I tried to sound intimidating but he just laughed.
"Edward this is my job, I've been doing it for a long time." I said looking mad. He was still smirking and I didn't understand why.
"Beautiful, you're not alone now." He said looking very happy. I was stunned, this man wanted to be there for me. I looked at his brothers and they also looked stunned, staring at their brother with open mouths.
