Chapter Two

Bella POV

They were beautiful, and mesmerizing. There was a really big one, with the build of that star quarter back that every guy wished he was, with dark hair, who was the drummer. He had the biggest smile on his face too. He had a mixture of boyish charms and masculinity. To the right of him was a really tall lanky blonde guy a playing bass. He was swaying slightly with the music, and every now and then he would lean towards the microphone in front oh him and sing backup vocals. The other two were cute, in an old world way. One was playing Guitar, and the other was singing.

They were really good, like, exceedingly so. I was surprised that they hadn't been picked up yet. From the look on Alice's and Rose's faces, they agreed with me. My foot was tapping and after one song I was sold; they had to be signed. The music was hypnotic, pulling me in, but still high energy enough for a club.

The guys were all around our age, probably older, but we couldn't be sure sitting this far away. We were going to move but decided it would be better to stay back here, where we could be at a safe distance from them. None of them in particularly stuck with me, but they were worth looking at, I'm not going to lie, even to myself.

After an hour of holding ourselves back, their set ended, and they said they'd be back next week. We smiled at that, looking at each other. Silently saying we'd be here next week, no doubt.

Out of nowhere they appeared at the bar, getting drinks. The biggest one, the drummer, ordered scotch, while the other three ordered Sam Adams. They sat down leaving a seat in between me and them. I thought they left it because they found me repulsive, but I was proven wrong when another guy came up to the bar. I turned away, not looking at the newcomer, and found Rose and Alice staring, completely oblivious to anyone but the guys.

"Bella, he's really cute," I heard. Alice had whispered from next to me. She sighed, and took a sip of her drink. Then she asked the bartender- Jacob, we found out his name when Rose asked for her second scotch- for a shot. That pulled Rosalie out of her trance, and my eyes grew wide.

"Alice, really?" I asked, trying to keep my voice down, but still loud enough to be heard over the music.

"Yeah," Rosalie said. "You normally don't get shots unless you want to get flat our wasted." Alice turned to glare at her, finally ripping her eyes off the fine men behind me.

"I just wanted it to calm my nerves Rose; I'm not going to get wasted. If I did in fact want to get wasted, which I don't, I would have just asked for vodka." Rosalie put her hands up in surrender and took a sip of her drink as Jacob set Alice's shot in front of her. She downed it, and asked for another one instantly. I bit my tongue, not wanting to say anything to set her off, and turned facing forward.

"Not it," I heard Rosalie say.

"Not it," Alice said after her.

"Not it," I said. We all three had our index fingers to our noses. They lowered theirs and I slowly followed in defeat. Damn! I groaned, and they looked at me pointedly. "Please, don't make me," I pleaded, hoping they would show some compassion. They looked at me, their expressions cold. Compassion, from my friends? Yeah right, maybe I was losing it.

I swirled in my seat, and came face to face with the most beautiful person ever to walk the Earth. I had to work hard to keep my mouth closed and I focused on not staring. He had green eyes, and his hair was an interesting shade, like bronze, I had never seen it before, but I loved it. He was well built, and Gawd was he sexy.

"Hi, I'm Bella," I said with all the confidence I could muster.

He smiled. Oh Gawd that smile, it was crooked, and yet perfect in everyway. "Edward," he said. He stuck out his hand and I grabbed it and shook it. I felt like an electric shock ran through me where we touched, but it felt good.

"You with the band?" I asked, motioning towards the group behind him.

"Yeah, I'm their producer and manager," he said.

"Really?" I asked. He nodded his head, obviously proud, as he should be. "Well, that's a good thing because I work for a record label," his jaw dropped, and a look of pure shock came onto his beautiful face. I smiled and continued, "My friends and I here think you have a great shot at making it big," I told him. It was then that I realized he wasn't breathing.

"Edward you okay?" It wasn't me that said it; it was the big guy, the drummer, turning our way. I heard Rosalie mumble 'damn.' Edward shook his head, but then looked up at me. I let out a sigh of relief when he finally took a breath.

"Are you serious?"

"Absolutely," I said. "I would never be mean enough to joke about something like that," I was trying to lighten the mood and it worked, a little.

He let out a small laugh, "Well, that's good."

"What's good?" The blonde turned our way as well. I wasn't sure but I thought I hear Alice gasp from behind me.

"Bella here works for a record label, she says we have great potential," his beautiful alluring eyes never left mine.

"Holy Fuck," the drummer said. I wasn't prepared for what happened next. He jumped out of his seat and picked me up, hugging me. "This is AWESOME!"

"Can't… breathe…" I was able to get out.

He laughed, "Sorry." He stuck out his hand, "I'm Emmett by the way."

I grabbed his hand and shook it. His grip steadied me as I was set down. My balance wasn't the best, "Nice to meet you."

"Hey I'm Garrett," the singer, the old-world-charm guy, came up to me next. "Thank you so much this is amazing."

"No problem," I said. I motioned behind me to Alice and Rose, "It's our job."

Emmett turned to look at the girls and I heard him mumble 'damn' as he walked over to introduce himself. I laughed, knowing who he would attach himself too. Poor Rose.

"I'm Jasper," the tall blonde said. He had a powerful grip, but it was gentle at the same time, which was sweet. "Pleasure to meet you," he said. He had a slight southern drawl.

"You too," I said. "Sweet name by the way, it's really cool."

He was beaming, "Thanks." He walked behind me to introduce himself to the girls.

"Eleazar," the guitar guy said. He didn't bother to shake my hand, but it didn't bother me, he seemed like a guy who stayed to himself more.

"Nice to meet you," I said. "You have a cool name too," he smiled slightly.

"So I've been told," he nodded his head and went around me to talk to the girls.

Edward turned away with an amused expression and took a sip of his beer. "So you really think you can sign us?" he asked.

"Are you kidding?" I asked rhetorically. "My boss says we need someone new and 'fresh.'" He rolled his eyes at that, and I continued. "Don't doubt your abilities, embrace them, and they'll lead you to new heights."

"Where did you hear that?" his eyes pulled me in, they were like gorgeous glowing green orbs. There was a faint smile on his lips.

"I came up with it," I said. "I majored in music, but my minor was literature, it's kind of a gift I have, to come up with that kind of stuff on the spot." I took a sip of my coke and I felt his eyes on me.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you drinking coke in a bar?" he asked me incredulously. His eyebrows were arched into perfect curves, his eyes looking amused.

"Yep," I said. I wasn't going to bring my ring into this. I had enough looks of shock already for one night. Plus, it was good to keep him on the edge of his seat, wanting more. Too bad that's all he was getting.

"Okay," he said and took a sip of his beer. "So why are you here, in Seattle I mean?"

"My boss, who is too lazy to do this himself, wants us to travel the country in search for the next greatest thing," I said with fake enthusiasm. "We stay in each place for like six months, this is our third stop. Obviously we started in LA because we lived there, and worked our way through New York and Chicago. We just got settled in two weeks ago so we're here for just over five months."

"You don't sound too happy about that," he noted the slightly harsh tone in my voice.

"I wasn't," I sighed, then looked at him. "Until recently," he raised his eyebrows.

"So did you find any good bands?" he asked. There was a smile on his face, and glint in his beautiful eyes.

"Yeah we found this one band," I said, teasing. "They were really good and they had some experience playing a local club," I smiled.

"Really?" he asked. I nodded, "That sounds like good news. So did this band get signed?" Oh, my gosh, the smile on his face had me melting and I had to fight hard to find words, then even harder to get them to make sense.

"They were planning on it, and so far it looks really good for them," I focused on my smile, trying not to over-do it. I didn't want to look crazy, but I couldn't think straight around him.

"Awesome," he said.

"Bella, we have to go," Alice said from behind me.

"Um I have to go, but here's my card, if you need to or you have any questions at all, call," I pulled my business card and pulled a pen out of my bag. I wrote my home number on the back. He looked at me questioningly. "Our home number," I said. "Since it's always changing I opted to not have it on the card." I handed it over to him, and his smile spread, still crookedly, across his face.

"I won't hesitate," he said. I walked over to where Alice and Rosalie were standing close to the door, "Be Safe." His voice was a whisper and I wasn't sure I was meant to hear it, so I kept my back to him, and walked out with the girls.

* * *

"What are we going to do?" Alice sighed as she plopped down on the couch. Rosalie was in her room getting a DVD for us and I was getting the ice cream.

"I have no freaking idea," Rose put the movie in. Then sitting on the couch she glanced back at me, "So you and Edward hit it off pretty well. I saw you slip him your card before you left"

I rolled my eyes, "He's the manager Rose, and it's for if he has questions for us." I walked in with the ice cream and Alice hit play on the movie.

"What about you and Emmett then? I heard your 'flirty giggle.' Hell, I would have heard it across the room," I sat down in between them. I looked at Alice, "Which one did you attach yourself to?"

"Jasper," she blushed when she said his name. "He's really tall, but he's really sweet and gentle," she was gushing. "Plus when we left he said he hoped we'd come back next week, they had a surprise."

"What?!" Rose and I shouted at the same time.

"That's all he said," Alice crosser her heart. "I didn't think to ask what he meant." Then she was looking at me, her arms raised dramatically. "I mean you know how I'm a sucker for a cute southern accent!" I rolled my eyes at her, smiling at how smitten she was in one night. Then I noticed what movie Rosalie had picked.

"Really Rose 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?'"

Alice glanced at the screen then too, and squealed, "Oh you know how I love Bad Pitt." Rose and I rolled our eyes and began stuffing our faces with ice cream.

About halfway through the movie I heard my phone ring. I set the ice cream down and ran to my room to get it, picking it up mid ring.

"Hello?"

"Bella?"

"Edward? Hi what's up?"
