Chapter 2

BPOV:

Wow, so that god-like Greek's name was Edward… Is it just a coincidence that he lives just upstairs, or it is fate? I snorted at that thought. I can't wait to tell Lucinda what I've encountered… She will be damn impressed. Lucinda has always been a sucker for fairytales. Whenever she meets a cute guy, she thinks that it's fate. Yeah right… She would list out a few factors that would prove that the guy is PERFECT for her. Yeah, I know that's a little bit kuku, but I still love her.

So Lucinda's "Perfect Guy" list includes:

He must not be arrogant to say he loves her.

He must not be too cheap to spend money on gifts for her.

He must remember her birthday and their anniversaries.

He must respect her parents and not find them a burden.

He must not be so controlling, as to question where she is or who she is with.

Did you know that she actually writes them down? Ok, I've got to stop thinking about this, back to my run. I took out my I Pod and scrolled to Backstreet Boys and played As Long As You Love Me. I started jogging and listened to every single sentence and thought about if they could happen in real life. That would be just awesome. To have a guy to love you for being you are and not who's your grandfather. I snapped out of thought and stopped just right in front of the water fountain where I met David…

Flashback:

BPOV:

Today's my 18th birthday, and I'm meeting Lucinda at the park near my house so we can go get me a present. Yay! Yeah right, I absolutely hate shopping… I cannot imagine how much Lucinda's going to make me buy. So here I am sitting in my comfy yellow talk-top, black straight-cut jeans, a pair of bright red pumps and purple DKNY bag waiting for my fashionably late friend, again.

I took out my I Pod and started playing music, I scrolled down to Westlife and played Bop Bop Baby. I started bopping my head to the music and looked up. In front of me was a guy with dark hair that reached till his shoulders and he had the nicest blue eyes ever. He looked down at me with the most breathtaking smile. He mouthed something and I removed my ear-piece and replied "Uh..Sorry what did you say?"

He smiled and continued "Um, Lucinda sent me to bring you to buy your presents or something."

I said stupidly "Ok, who are you?"

He smiled sheepishly and replied "Sorry, I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lucinda's cousin. I'll be staying with them for the next 2 years. I guess Lucinda didn't mention me huh?"

I nodded and added "Yeah. But why can't Lucinda come?"

He took a seat beside me and said "I'd better sit down. It's a very long story. Well, about 3 days ago, Aunt Emma and Uncle James caught Lucinda making-out with one of her dad's younger employees at the company's charity event. So they grounded her for 2 weeks."

I couldn't help but laugh. Once I had gotten my breath back, I added "Ok, so what now?"

David smiled and added "Well, we could start by introducing ourselves." He held out his hand and said "I'm David Jones." I shook his hand as added "I'm Bella Swan."

He stood up and said "So now we got this settled, why don't we go ahead and buy your presents?"

I groaned and asked "Do we have to?"

He looked surprised and smiled. "I thought girls love to shop?"

I shrugged and added "I guess I'm not a girl. Can't we just pretend that we bought the stuff and go out and have fun?"

David shook his head and added "Nope, Lucinda gave me a list of what to buy for you and she wants me to show her the receipts when I get home. If I defy her orders, she's going to skin me alive."

I sighed and smiled. "Okay, for the sake your ass, I'll go shopping."

David laughed "Let's go!"

End of flashback

So that was how I met David. But it didn't turn out as well as I had expected it. David was the very first boyfriend I had that I thought he liked me for who I am. But I was wrong, he used me to get his family into the upper side of society. I found out from one of my girlfriends who said they saw David out multiple times with this girl. I myself couldn't believe he would do that to me.

Unfortunately, I had to have the hard way of finding out. Remember I told you my grandfather allowed me to move out of his house and into my own? Well, I was 20 that year so I decided to allow David to move in with me. He had been staying with me for nearly 6 months.

So one night, I had a girls night out with Lucinda. But at the last minute, Lucinda's boyfriend; Nicholas, had invited her to have dinner with his parents. So she ditched me, how nice of her right? So I knew that David was probably at my home studying.

I went home and when I opened the front door, I found something on the floor, a black bra. Curious, I went and picked it up. That was so not mine, I would never wear something so slutty. I dropped it back onto the floor and walked towards my bedroom. The door was not closed fully, I prayed silently that it would not be a scene where I catch David in MY bed having sex with another girl. I tip-toed, saw that my prediction was true and also heard something else.

The girl had long blonde hair that was fake. She was lying on top of David and she said "David, when are you going to break up with that Isabella girl? You promised me last week."

David started doing something unmentionable and answered "Tanya, sweetheart, I promise you that when my dad has gotten what he wants which is General Manager of her company, I'll break up with her. Ok?"

I really wasn't surprised, I mean that wasn't the first time it happened. I should be used to it by now.

So I broke-up with him. End of story. Since then, I've never had a boyfriend.
