Thank you for the few reviews i got, i do appreciate them. So here's your next chapter, let me know what you think.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Damn phone!" I said as I woke up to my ringing phone.
"Hello?" I answered trying to sound as awake as possible.
"Hey Bella, it's Ang, don't worry about coming in today or tomorrow, I don't have an assignment for you yet, so just be ready for the meeting Monday morning," she said.
"Alright, thanks for letting me know," I said.
"No problem, bye," she said and hung up.
I put the phone back on my nightstand and turned off my alarm clock, rolled over and went back to bed.
"Get up, get up, get up," Alice said as Caesar and her jumped up onto my bed.
"What do you want?" I groaned.
"You, I've always secretly wanted you," Alice said.
"Ha ha, you're funny, seriously though," I said.
"Nothing really, I just wanted to hang out today," she said lying down next to me.
"Well, I have to take Caesar for his walk so you can come with us," I offered.
"Alright then, get your cute little ass out of bed, and in some clothes than," she said getting up and pulling the covers away.
"I ask myself, why did I give you a key?" I muttered.
"Because I'm your best friend and you love me," she said, obviously hearing my last remark.
I got up and pulled on a pair of jeans and a cute Victoria's Secret sweatshirt.
I put on a pair of socks and my black converse. I went out to the kitchen where Alice was waiting with two to-go cups with coffee.
"Thank you," I said as I took one from her hand.
"Your welcome now lets get this show on the road," she said heading towards the door where Caesar was already patiently waiting.
I snagged his leash off the table and went to the elevator. Once we got in the elevator I hooked him to his leash. We rode done to the lobby and left the building.
"So I found out what this guys name is that is coming with Emmett, Rosalie's boyfriend, his name is Edward," she told me.
Edward. Wait could it be him? No. What would be the odds? Its not possible, but what I wouldn't give to see those eyes again. Whoa, snap out of it.
"Yeah, that's cool. Alice be honest with me, are you trying to set me up with this guy?" I asked her as we turned a corner.
"No, I assure you, I am not trying to set you up with this guy," she said putting her hand over her heart.
"Alright just making sure," I said.
Alice was about to say something when Caesar took off running.
"Caesar!" I yelled running after him. I saw him start to turn towards the street and I ran faster hoping to catch him before he could cross. He darted across the street, thankfully without getting hit by a car. He took off to the park that we went to yesterday.
I paused at the curb and when it was all clear, I took off across the road with Alice in tow.
"Caesar!" I called for him once I got to the park, not knowing which way he went. I started to panic, when I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
"I think this big guy belongs to you," he said. I turned around and was met with those familiar green eyes. I looked down and sure enough Caesar was sitting next to his feet.
"Oh thank god!" I said couching down to see my dog. He licked my face.
"He sat down next to me again at the same tree as yesterday," Edward said handing me his leash.
"I don't know how to thank you," I said taking the leash.
"Don't worry about it," he said with a wave of his hand.
"Ahem," I heard someone clear there voice from beside me, I looked over and Alice was standing next to me with eyebrows raised.
"Oh I'm so sorry, this is Alice, Alice this is Edward," I said introducing them.
"A pleasure to meet you Alice," Edward said shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet you too," she said as he dropped her hand.
"Well, it was nice to meet you Alice and it was nice to see you and Caesar again Bella but I really must be going now," he said and with that he turned around and left.
Caesar started to howl as Edward walked away.
"Shhh," I hushed him. He stopped and I turned and faced Alice with her arms crossed in front of her and her eyebrows raised.
"You, missy, have some explaining to do," she said.
With that we headed back to my apartment as I told her the whole story from the stoplight to yesterday in the park. As we entered my apartment I finished my story.
"So, yeah, that's about it," I said as I said down on the couch.
"Wow," was all she said.
"Yeah," I sighed.
"Its fate," she said as she looked at me.
"What do mean?" I asked her.
"Well look, first you saw him while you were on your bike and then you take Caesar for a walk and Caesar runs to him and then once again Caesar runs to him and you guys get to see each other, I'm sorry but it's fate," she said matter-of-factly.
"I'll believe that if I end up seeing him again, but seriously what are the odds that I'll see him again?" I questioned.
"I don't know but that's the thing about fate, you never know what's going to happen," she said.

Friday night rolled around and I was getting ready. I put on a simple pair of jeans, with a dark blue top. I lightly curled my hair to give it a little body, I stuck with neutral make-up.
I looked in my full body mirror and did a once over and I didn't look half bad. I grabbed a pair of my heeled black boots and put them on. I grabbed my leather jacket and keys, with my wallet. I went over to Caesar who was lying on the couch and gave him a kiss on the head.
"Be a good boy," I told him.
I grabbed my helmet off the bench and went down to the lobby. When I exited the elevator I was greeted by Alistair.
"Good evening Miss Swan, you look mighty fine this evening," he said with a tip of his hat.
"Thank you, have a good night Alistair," I said and headed out to my bike. I put on my jacket, and helmet. Once everything was on I hopped on my bike and took off.
I got to Rise in 20 minutes and parked next to Jasper's car. I hopped off and took my helmet off, and stuck it under my arm. I made sure that I had everything and headed inside.
Once I got inside I immediately found them in the back corner. I made my way over to them when Alice saw me.
"Bella!" she said and got up to greet me with a hug.
"Hey Alice," I said and sat down in the chair next to her. I sat down and noticed that one person was missing, because there was an empty seat open next to me.
"Bella, you remember Rosalie and Emmett," Alice said as she pointed them out. Rosalie was tall, blonde and beautiful. Emmett was huge; he's like a big teddy bear.
"Hey guys," I said with a little wave.
"Is somebody missing or do we just have an extra chair?" I asked Alice quietly.
"He's in the restroom," she said.
"Oh, okay," I shrugged.
"Edward, what took you so long?" Emmett hollered, with a chuckle.
"Shut up," He said, and I immediately recognized that voice. My eyes went wide and I looked at Alice who was just smiling, she nodded.
"Edward this is Bella," Jasper introduced us.
I put on a smile and turned around to see that it was in fact the beautiful man with piercing green eyes that has held my dreams captive.
He looked at me and just started laughing. I couldn't help but join in, because the situation was pretty funny.
We finally calmed down and looked at everybody else. Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, were looking at us like we were nuts. Alice was just smiling away.
"Would you like to fill us in?" Emmett asked.
"We already met three days ago when Caesar decided to go for a run," I said.
"Oh," Jasper said.
"Who's Caesar?" Emmett asked.
"He's my dog," I told him.
"You have a dog!?" He all but shouted. I giggled.
"Yeah, I have a dog," I said.
"Can I meet him sometime?" he asked like a kid on Christmas morning.
"Yeah sure," I said with a shrug, "He loves everybody."
"Awesome," he said.
After our dog discussion we ordered our drinks, and I looked over at jasper and gave him a reassuring wink and smile. I in return got a very, very weak smile.
The waiter came back with our drinks and gave Alice hers last. I couldn't help but smile as she took a drink and the ring made a tink sound against the glass. Her brow furrowed and she looked in the glass and her eyes went wide as she spotted the ring. Jasper took the glass from her and took out the ring and got down on one knee in front of her, as he took hold of her hand.
"Mary Alice Brandon, these past six years have been the best years of my life, ever since I met you, you added the missing spark in my life. I'm asking you to continue to be the spark in my life. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked, I never expected all of that from Jasper, but I knew he would pull out all of the stops for Alice.
As he finished his little shpeel Alice was in tears. Jasper started looking nervous as she still didn't say anything. She put her hand against his cheek.
"Did you even have to ask?" She said with a teary smile.
"Is that a yes?" he asked.
"YES!" she yelled and threw her arms around him and kissed him. The whole place roared with applause and congratulations. He slipped the ring on her finger and they both sat back down with there hands entwined.
"Good job," I said to Jasper and Alice looked at me with eyes wide.
"You knew?" she asked.
"But of course, we had to make sure that for once you actually were surprised," I told her.
"Well you got me, I had no idea that was coming, but I'm glad it did," she said and kissed Jasper.
The rest of dinner was very uneventful. We kept up the conversation about pretty much anything and everything.
It was around ten o'clock when we decided to call it a night. We all filed out of the restaurant. I put my jacket on and grabbed out my keys. We were all parked next to each other so we followed in a line. I stepped out of line and stopped at my bike. I zipped up my jacket.
"Whoa, whoa ,whoa! You mean to tell me that this is your bike?" Emmett asked. I looked over at him and Emmett, Rosalie and Edward were staring with eyes wide.
"Yeah," I said like it was no big deal.
"Take me with you," Rosalie said as she came to inspect my bike.
"Do you want a ride?" I asked her.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah, do you have a jacket?" I asked.
"Yeah in the jeep," she stated.
"Go get it and I have a spare helmet, I'll give you a ride home," I said as I pulled my spare helmet off the backseat, which is usually strapped down. I handed her the helmet and she squealed in excitement. She ran to their jeep and pulled on her jacket and came back over to me.
"Emmett is it okay if I follow you?" I asked him. He just nodded eyes still wide.
"Alright, you ready?" I asked Rosalie and she just nodded her head enthusiastically.
I put my helmet on and flipped up the face mask. I got on and started it up. I nodded at her to get on, and she grabbed onto my jacket pockets. I backed up slowly after Emmett pulled out and followed him out into the streets. I flipped on my intercom that connects to both helmets so I could talk to Rose.
"You know where to go right?" I asked her.
"Yeah," she said.
"Shall we take a detour so we can get going?" I asked.
"Hellz yeah!" she yelled. I laughed, and took off past them in the other lane and made my way to the faster streets in town.
We took at least a 30 minute ride until we headed to Rose and Emmett's apartment. We got there to see that Emmett was already back with a silver car parked next to it. I parked and Rose got off. I turned off the bike and hopped off. We took off our helmets and I strapped hers back to the seat. I tucked mine under my arm and unzipped my jacket.
"That was awesome!" she said as she pulled me into a hug.
"I'm glad you had fun," I said as she stepped away from me.
"Can we do it again some other time?" she asked hopeful.
"Yeah, sure," I told her.
"Awesome, do you want to come up?" she asked.
"Sure," I said with a shrug, and I followed her up to their apartment.
When we walked in the door both Emmett and Edward look deep in conversation but broke when we entered.
"Hey, did you have fun?" Emmett asked Rose as he got up and gave her a hug.
"Sure did, and she promised to take me on another ride sometime!" she clapped her hands excitedly.
"Yeah, she was a good rider," I told them.
"Thank you," she said.
"No problem, and Emmett if you ever want a ride too, next time I see you we'll have to go for a ride," I told him as he started jumping up and down like Alice when I agree to go shopping.
"I LOVE YOU!" he said and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.
"Can't…. Breathe" I gasped. And he released me.
"Awesome, well I got to get going, so I'll see you guys when I see you," I said as I started to the doors.
"Hey, I'll walk out with you," Edward said as we headed out the door.
We walked into the elevator and hit the lobby button.
"You know if you ever want a ride too, I'd be happy to give you one," I told him to avoid silence.
"I'll keep you to that," he said and we got out of the elevator. We headed outside and started our separate ways.
"Hey Bella?" he called. I turned around and saw him walking towards me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Could I call you sometime?" he asked hesitantly. I smiled.
"Yeah sure," I said and wrote down my number on piece of paper that I had in my pocket, probably a receipt.
"Thank you, and it was nice to see you again," he said and turned around. I sighed and put my helmet on, zipped up my jacket and started home, to where once again my dreams were captured by Edward.
By the way i do have pictures on my profile of her bike, dog, apartment and helmets. What'd you think?
