A/N: All Chapters are in BPOV. I don't plan on switching them. Personally I sometimes get confused with too many POV's but I may do an EPOV later on. Thanks again for reading.

Thanks again to Kim Ginsberg for editing :)

Chapter 2

Leaning casually against my door frame is the sexiest man I have ever seen. Dressed in black slacks with a white button down shirt, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and a couple buttons undone showing just a smidgen of chest hair, he's gorgeous. His hair is auburn, just like Alice's, but his eyes...his eyes are a shocking shade of blue/green. Almost a perfect combination of the two colors. Dark eyebrows and lashes that just add to the intensity of his eyes. A straight nose that leads to full pouty red lips. Oh, and lets not forget about his strong, lick-able, jaw. I meet his eyes and realize I've been caught checking him out, if his breathtaking smile is anything to judge by.

Trying to reign in my lust, I introduce myself since Alice ran off to check out the apartment.

"Hi, I'm Bella" I say, sticking out my hand.

He straightens out to his full height, and holy cow he's tall, like a good foot taller than me! He grabs my hand in his much larger one, turns it over to place a small lingering kiss on the back of it. Swoon.

"Hello Bella, its a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edward," he replies in a smooth deep voice, almost like a purr. "I'm sorry about my sister. She's just excited to be moving out of our parents house." He winks. Freaking winks at me! Can you say sexy? Where did this man come from?

"Um...yeah...no problem," I stammer out. It's then, that I realize that I still have a hold of his hand. Completely embarrassed, and blushing worse than ever, I look down letting go of his hand. I could have sworn I heard a disappointed sigh, but when I look back up, he's smirking at me. Maybe I'm hearing things.

"Can I come in?"

Oh shit! I forgot to invite him in. How is it possible for a man to affect me like this. Without looking up, I wave him inside, my blush never leaving my face. As he walks by, I swear I hear him mutter something that sounds like "fucking beautiful", but when I ask him if he said anything, he just shrugs and walks off into the living room. Shutting and locking the door, I stand there a minute to collect myself before joining them. Walking into the living room I see Edward lounging on the chaise with his hands behind his head, and a cocky smirk on his handsome face.

"When can I move in?" Alice asks after I sit next to her.

"Well, if you're sure you like the room, you can move in this weekend," I suggest. "The rent is $500 and we'll split utilities and groceries. Does that work for you?" I ask, just to make absolutely sure she knows what the details are.

Bouncing up and down slightly, she shakes her head 'yes' very enthusiastically. "Thank you so much for letting me move in. Once Edward gave his approval, I knew I wanted to live here without even looking at the room." Alice giggles and I join in. Her jovial attitude is hard to ignore. I can see this arrangement working out perfectly, and maybe I can see Edward every now and then.

Sneaking a glance over at him. I'm just in time to catch him looking me over from head to toe. His eyes linger on my breasts and hips. I can feel my body reacting to his intense gaze. When he meets my stare, a beautiful smile takes over his face and he winks. Again. I swear those damn winks will be the death of me.

I hear a throat clearing and realize it's Alice. Quickly looking away from Edward, I meet her eyes and try to ignore her knowing smile. I don't think I want to what's going on inside her head. Trying to get the attention off of me and...whatever that was with her brother, I start asking questions.

"How old are you?" I ask Alice. I can feel Edward staring at me but I refuse to acknowledge him.

"I'm 19, and Edward is 23. You?"

"Oh...I'm 19 as well. Are you both attending Cornell?" I ask, sneaking another glance at Edward. He's leaning forward, elbows on his knees, an intense look about him.

Alice looks between the two of us before answering. "I'm starting my freshman year, going for my masters in teaching. Edward actually graduated last year with a masters in business." I look over at him, surprise written all over my face. I mean he's young and already has a masters? That's impressive. Alice laughs at my expression. "What are you majoring in, Bella?" she asks, after composing herself.

I look back over at her, a little embarrassed at my reaction. "I want to be a writer, so I'm double majoring in English and literature," I answer, and look down hoping they don't notice my blush. I don't want them to ask about the subject I'm interested in writing about.

"Why are you blushing?" Edward asks. Of course I just blush deeper, earning a chuckle from him. "Am I to assume that the subject matter to which interests you is embarrassing?" I just shrug and keep my head down. "Okay, okay I'll stop. What kind of writer do you want to be?" I can still hear the amusement in his voice.

Gathering up all the courage I have, I look up at him through my lashes with a coy smile. "I want to write romance/erotica books." I answer with a wink, pretty sure I'm still flushed from earlier.

He leans back. A look of surprise, awe and...maybe confusion? His expressions are too hard to figure out. After setting up a time to move Alice in, they leave. Leaning against the door, I think about Edward. He's a gorgeous man and way out of my league. But there's something about him that intrigues me. I'm just not sure if I should try to figure him out, or just leave it alone. One thing I'm certain of is, that this year is going to be interesting!
