Previous: I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I was instantly confused because I didn't set it last night. I knew that Alice would be over to wake me up. - Ah! Alice...

Chapter 3

Damn Alice and her bad timing. I groaned as I shut off the alarm. It was only 5:30. I knew if I tried to go back to sleep Alice would kill me. I got up and stumbled into the small kitchen where Alice had breakfast. No she didn't make it; she bought it from some fast food place. Alice can NOT cook. One time she managed to get cheese melted into the toaster… I'm not too sure what she was trying to do, but Alice has been officially banned from cooking, baking, heating, grilling, or toasting anything. But she is allowed to blend; Alice can make a mean smoothie.

"Alice! What the hell! I was just about to kiss Her…" At least I might have. I think.

"What! I'm so sorry Edward, but we have lots to do today. Now hurry up and eat, then go take a shower." I complied with Alice. I ate my sausage biscuit and jumped into the shower. After I got out, I found clothes had been laid out for me to wear. Actually these weren't even mine. Oh wait, there're still tags on them. Typical Alice. She loved shopping more than anything, well except Jasper. But I secretly think it's a close call. I dressed quickly and found Alice in the kitchen sharpening a pencil.

"Finally, let's get started." While Alice opened her sketchbook to a blank page, I saw glimpses of different people's faces.

"What type of face does she have?" Beautiful.

"Beautiful." This time I could feel the goofy smile on my face. She is more than beautiful really. I need to find the right word…

"I meant like heart, oval, or square. Get it?" Oh.

"Uh, heart?" The rest of the sketch went like this - Alice getting more and more aggravated and my smile growing even goofier. I hadn't look at what Alice had drawn. I was a little anxious to what I might see.

"Alright, it's done. How does she look?" Alice was smiling, obviously proud of her work. She turned the sketchpad around; it wasn't Her. This girl had some of the same features, but it was wrong. She wasn't smiling. Her eyes didn't glow. Her hair wasn't right. The light freckles that were supposed to be sprinkled across her cheeks were no where to be found. When I looked at Alice, her smile fell from her face. She was disappointed; she had worked so hard and for so long. What time is it? I looked towards the clock… it was almost eleven! We had been at this for four hours. I felt even worse.

"I'm sorry Alice. It looks like Her but it's just … not Her." Alice's face brightened.

"Edward! You made me think that I was completely off. It doesn't have to be an exact replica of her face!"

"Oh…well how is this gonna help?"

"Are you dumb? We're going to make posters! I need some slogans…like 'If this is you, then congratulations! You're Edward Cullen's soul mate!'"

"No! No Alice! We can't do that! Number 1: I'll just get a bunch of crazy fans. Number 2: It'll scare her. And number 3: it's too embarrassing."

"Embarrassing? Do you even remember last night, Edward? You practically told everyone you were a stalker on television." I groaned at the memory. "Oh, by the way, you have a few messages on your cell. I might have taken the liberty of checking them while you were in the shower this morning."

"How bad are they?" Alice only giggled. This was not good. I grabbed my cell from the charger and pressed the number for my voice mail.

"First Message: Hello Edward. I just got the strangest call from Alice - " Mom. I didn't need to listen to the rest of that message. I already knew what that was about.

"Second Message: Yo Eddie! So I just saw you on Letterman. You're such a – Ow Rose! Oh Edward, that was the sweetest thing I've ever seen! We better get some details about this dream girl…"Emmett and Rosalie. I haven't talked to them in awhile. Emmett was my older brother. Like me he wanted to get away and be on his own for awhile. He started working as a mechanic at a garage. There he met Rosalie (Jasper's cousin) when Jasper brought his car in to get fixed. She was visiting Jasper when his car started smoking. Rose had told him that the radiator must have overheated. She could have easily fixed it, but she wanted to meet the "infamous Emmett Cullen." As the story goes, she impressed him with her own car knowledge; they both fell head over heels, now they're married, running their own shop.

"Third Message: Oh Edward! Why haven't you told me about her before? You just have to find her…" Mom again. I'll have to call her later.

"Fourth Message: Edward! What a great idea! Great publicity for –" My manager. I'm definitely not calling her back. I couldn't listen anymore. I deleted the rest of the messages without listening to them. If there was an important one, whoever it was knows to call my home phone. I looked over to a laughing Alice.

"What am I supposed to do now Alice?"

"I told you I had a plan."

OoOoO

Alice had disappeared after I made lunch for us. I was scared. I had no idea what Alice was up to. I tried calling her several times, but no answer. I called back Mom; we had a very long chat about Her. I got more calls from my manager which I was too busy with listening to music than to answer. As I lounged on my couch, I could feel my eyelids getting heavier by the second.

We were strolling along the shore. It was a bright and sunny day. Her brown hair was pulled back into a pony tail, but thin strands had fallen in her face. I wanted so badly to move them behind her ear. I wanted touch her check, feel her skin, but my hand rested in her hand. Our fingers were laced together, swaying as we walked through the sand. Today she had a small smile on her face, but her eyes were piercing. They were amazing. If you looked long enough into them, different colors start to appear. We stopped walking. My body slowly moved down towards hers, my lips aiming for hers. We were centimeters away. Our lips almost touching… "Edward!"

I jolted forward and fell off the couch. I looked to see an apologetic smile on Jessica's face. "I'm sorry Edward. I hate to take you away from your dream girl, but you got an interview with Leno. We have to be at the studio in two hours for recording." I groaned. If this interview was going to be like last night's, I wanted to fall asleep and never wake up. Hell I wish for that now; an eternity of dreams with Her.

OoOoO

I was standing backstage of 'The Tonight Show,' waiting for my cue. Jessica had assured me that there would be no talk of last night's events, but I had an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach. "My first guest is a young actor, who stars in one of the most talked about films of the year - " I still haven't talked to Alice, I'll have to track her down as soon as I can. "The film opens November 21st - " Or I'm going to take Jasper hostage, until she spills about the plan. "Please welcome, Edward Cullen!" I walked swiftly toward my seat, repeating my small wave to the audience. The response was unexpected. Nearly every person here was a teenage girl, except with the occasional parent or fan boy. I should have checked the news coverage of the interview last night. I greeted Jay and took my seat.

"How are you doing?"

"Good. Thanks."

"You've been extremely busy, haven't you? What other things have you been doing?" Good, easy questions I can answer.

"Well I just did a couple of small films. They haven't been released yet, but I think there's going to be a showing in Texas for one of them. But there's a good chance for larger releases because of the attention I've been getting."

"So you've got your own humongous fan base now right? From your new movie?"

"Yeah well it's more of the book's fan base. All these fans are readers that fell in love with the book."

"Can you tell us the craziest thing that a fan's done?" Thank God. No mention of Her.

"Well a couple of girls visited Kellan in his hotel room. I'm not so sure how they got up there, but they gave him a whole bunch of stuff like candy."

"Now I heard he's a prankster right?"

"Yeah he's a real fun guy. But I know Peter actually got him. It's a long story but it involves a fake spider."

"So are there any new projects you looking at? Or are you planning on doing something else?" Yeah finding Her, if she's real at least.

"Unless something really good comes along, I'm gonna take a small break. I need to spend time with my family.

"Do you have a big family? Tell us about them."

"Not really. My dad is a doctor. Mom's a wedding planner. My older brother and his wife own a car shop. My twin sister's married; some of you may know her – Alice Hale, the fashion designer."

"Alice. I actually got to meet her today." Oh shit. What has she done now?

"You did?" I know pure shock is written across my face now. "What did she do?"

"Yeah, she kind of bribed me. Mavis has wanted an Alice Hale dress for awhile. Sorry." Oh my God Alice. What have you done? "As most of you know, last night Edward here gave an interesting interview on The Late Show last night." There were loud squeals from the audience. "Here's a clip for those who haven't seen it!"

I suddenly appeared on the large screen sitting next to David Letterman. I was watching my facial expressions closely. "Interesting. Well your character finds love onscreen, did you … happen to find romance with any of your costars?" My eyes brightened. "No she's not – I mean we're all just close friends." My eyes had returned to normal but a little wide now. "Oh but there's someone isn't there?! Who is she?" My eyes got wider. "She's no one. I don't even know her." My cheeks started to pink. "Wait a minute. You don't know her?" "It's complicated…." I had paused to take a deep breath. "I've never actually seen her in person." "Oh I see. It's one of those phone - " My face was filled with horror. "God no!" "Online dating?" "No… This is so embarrassing. I can't believe I'm even telling you this and on TV!" My cheeks were red now, my hands running through my hair. "Go on. Don't be embarrassed." "Yeah right… she's in my dreams." "OH! It's one of those dreams." I had never seen my face so red before. I cringed at the sight; this was so embarrassing. "No! It's not trust me. It's strange really. In my dreams, all we do is walk and I hold her hand. There's no sound, I can't even feel her touch or anything." My face had started to return its color, and my eyes were glowing. "What does she look like?" "She's beautiful. She has long brown hair. She has these big brown eyes. Her smile is bright and contagious." The large goofy grin appeared on my face, and my eyes were completely glazed over. "Wow. She sounds like a lot of ladies here."

The audience whistled and squealed at the last comment. "Settle down ladies. Now Alice has provided an actually sketch of Edward's dream girl. Here it is!" Oh shit. I'm going to murder Alice. I looked at the piece of paper in Jay's hands. It was Alice's sketch of Her. "Isn't she lovely? Now if any you know this person please contact this number." Before I could say anything else, Jay shot me an apologetic look. "It was wonderful having you on the show Edward."

"I really hope your wife likes her dress." I didn't even try to act nice; I glared at him.

"Now folks, go see his new film opening November 21st….. Edward Cullen Thank you! We'll be right back with our next guest…." I shook Jay's hand and shot out of my chair. I was going to murder Alice.

I hope you liked it. I'm not sure if I'm doing Bella's POV. Let me know if you want me to...
