Bella…

I met Alice Cullen (Twinkles) and her boyfriend Jasper Hale (Jazz) after one of my gigs at La Tua Cantante a local piano bar. We became instant friends. To say that Alice's personality is enthusiastic is like say that the Sahara was little dry. She couldn't have been more opposite than me. At 4' 10' tall, short spiky hair, perfect porcelain skin, a tiny ballerinas body and the most beautiful hazel eyes. Jasper is the yin to her yang as Alice would say. You always feel at ease with him around. At 6' 3" honey blond hair and Abercrombie model body for sure - simply delicious. They are an odd pair. But very much devoted and in love with each other. They bring out the best in each other and thankfully in me.

Meeting someone like Alice has been nothing but a blessing. She has been so much more than a friend. She is the sister I never knew I wanted or needed. Without her my college years would have been more of the same as my high school years were…LONELY. Hard to feel lonely around Alice and her family. They have become an important part of my life. Let's not forget the fact that she has been my personal Tim Gunn. Unfortunately, I just can't afford to keep up with Alice's power shopping. Although she is beyond generous with her gift giving. I stopped complaining about it. She is just too hard to say no to. So why try.

Alice coming from a wealthy family was putting it mildly. Her parents are what is considered 'old money'. On top of that her father Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Pops) is a very prominent and successful plastic surgeon who specializes in pediatric surgery. Her mother Esme (Big E) owns a successful Interior Design business.

Alice has two older brothers; Emmett (Bear) is very much the big brother in every sense of the word. 6' 5", dark curly hair, smoldering dark eyes, and full of muscle. Full of good humor and smiles with the most charming dimples. Rosalie (Malibu Barbie) is Emmett's fiancé. Swimsuit model looks tall, blond, and beautiful beyond comprehension. She and Emmett own Black Dagger Customs a very successful custom car and bike shop. They make a beautiful couple and are expected to marry next year.

Then there is her other brother is Edward. He just graduated from Julliard a year ago and lives in New York. I have never met the elusive Cullen sibling. He dashes in and out between the coasts. I just miss him on the dashes in. Go figure.

I've seen him in plenty of pictures scattered around the house. It seemed that Edward isn't as obvious in his musculature as Bear. He is leaner it seems. Just a bit shorter at 6' 2" or so I'm told. Wow, the most killer green eyes, messy dark copper colored hair and a beautiful crooked smile. I often joked with the family that he didn't really exist. Earning the nickname "Vampire".

I asked Esme "How do you get him to appear in pictures?" earning me a heartfelt laugh.

I'm almost done with school here and will be going to Paris for my last semester. I can't wait. I can say that my college experience has been an… experience. I managed to keep myself pretty busy. School, occasional gigs and working at the restaurant. My social life has suffered a bit for it but there isn't much going on in that department anyway. Alice keeps telling me someone is gonna come along for me. I'm not holding my breath.
