~*~Chapter 2*~
I can remember the first time I laid eyes on Edward Cullen; it was at my work friend Rosalie's wedding to her high school sweetheart Emmett.
Emmett was a fire-fighter with the forks fire department and with the exception of Edward, Rosalie was forever warning me off the infamous guys at the station.
At the time I'd laughed, telling her I wasn't interested in them anyway.
Little did I know how wrong I could have been!
Edward was nothing like I'd imagined him to be and we struck up a firm friendship straight away.
I was usually shy and awkward around guys and meeting new people in general, but Edward put me at ease right away.
Of course it helped that he was utterly gorgeous and oh so nice.
He was my knight in shining armor who stayed besides me all night, and protected me from Mike 'the leech' Newton. In return I was his decoy from the many women who had been enviously sizing him up all evening.
When the end of the night came I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to Edward, but as fate would have it I didn't have to wait long for our next encounter, at you guessed it another friends wedding.
Since then it has become a running joke among our friends about what a funny pair we make.
A few times I thought we had a connection beyond friendship but I quickly gave up on hoping for anything more. For one, Edward was way out of league, and secondly he'd never shown any sign of being interested in anything more than friendship. Morse the pity.
Edward would make someone a wonderful husband and a great father one day. I could just imagine how beautiful his children would be I thought smile slipped when I pictured the kind of woman by his side.
"Penny for your thoughts," Edward broke me from my reverie.
"Its nothing important," I tried to sound casual, but Edward didn't look convinced. In fact I was beginning to think that he saw a lot more than I wanted him too.
So what do we think? It was another short chapter I know but at least updates are more regular that way.
