Chapter 2 - Opportunities

Edward POV

I was unpacked in half an hour; however it took me 2 hours to help Alice unpack.

After we had ufinnished we decided to go out for dinner. Alice got all dressed up in a fancy dress and high heels and I just chucked on a nice black button up shirt and my 'going out' jeans.

We got on a bus called a cat, It was a free bus that took you all over Perth, Handy. We found a nice looking restaurant and decided to stop there. There was a bit of a wait to get seated and there were quite a few people there, so it must be nice.

"Perth's really nice." I said as I checked out the menu.

"I know, right? Aren't you glad that you decided to finally move out of mum and dad's house and come with me?" She asked.

"Well I'm only 22? What do you expect of me, two degree's a PHD and company of my own?" I asked sarcastically.

"No. But you really haven't done anything since you finished high school. I'm only 20 and I've moved half way across the world to become an assistant editor of a big city fashion mag'" Alice said, matter-of-factly.

"Yes, I know. And I'm very proud of you for that, Sis," I told her. I was, I was very proud of my little sister already making it in the big world. "...and I plan on getting a job while I'm here, I don't plan on living off you." I added.

"That's good. Know what you want to eat?" She asked. I nodded and she signalled for the waiter to come over. "What kind of job?" She asked.

I hadn't really thought about that too much yet. I haven't studied anything since I left school and I'm not really sure what I wanted to get into.

"I don't really know. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life." I stated.

The waiter came over and we placed our orders. We then spent most of the rest of the evening talking about what I could be and all about her new job.

The food was exquisite and desert was truly amazing, I was very pleased with our restaurant choice. We headed back to the apartment where Alice found there was wireless internet and spent the rest of the night chatting to her friends from back home and clothes shopping online. I decided to watch 'foxtell', ended up watching Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama for the rest of the night.

I was starting to drift off to sleep, noticing it was 12:30 in the morning, I decided to go to bed.

Alice's door was open and I could see a light shining through, so I popped my head inside and saw her sound asleep with her mobile still in her hand. I snuck over to her side placing her mobile on the bedside table and switching her lamp off after placing a kiss to her forehead whispering "goodnight".

I decided to shower in the morning as Alice was already asleep. So I stripped down then chucked on my boxers and pyjama pants. I slipped myself in to the incredibly comfortable bed. I had a few quick thoughts flash through my mind as to what was in store for me in this new life, I drifted off to sleep shortly after, excited about the possibilities.

It's a short chapter, but there's plenty of excitement in store for you.

We're meeting Bella in the next chapter!
