This is a short-ish one, sorry guys. I will try to update one more time tonight! Come on leave me some reviews, don't make a girl beg ;)

Disclaimer I do not own any twilight related characters!!

The next morning, I took extra care getting ready, if I was going to be involved in this I wanted to make Alice look good, so I had to look good. I went to my closet and stood, sipping coffee, and surveyed the clothes. In the end I chose a pair of black wide leg dress pants and a dark green tank with a black jacket on top. I put my hair in a bun, which made me feel sort of like a librarian but it served it's purpose keeping my hair out of my face. I took out my rarely used make up kit and stared at it, not wanting to actually use it, for a minute. Then I chose a shade of green, to match my shirt, for my eyes, and an almost undetectable color for my lips. Satisfied with myself in the mirror, I smiled and walked out to meet Alice and get started for the day.

"Oh, Bella, you do look nice," she said, seeming pleasantly surprised.

"Well I had to have learned something from years of you dressing me"I laughed.

"Are we ready to go?" she asked.

"As ready as I'm going to be," I sighed.

Thankfully, the traffic wasn't as bad as it had been the day before and we got there early. Alice decided to give me a tour of the office. It was shared by Edward Senior, Edward Junior and four other lawyers. They seemed to be very good and in high demand.

"This is my Uncle's office,"Alice said pointing, "obviously you have seen inside of it."

We continued walking down the carpeted hallway, she showed me the offices of the other lawyers who worked with the Masens. All the office were the same, a few pictures of families, loved ones, pets, a big wooden desk, books on one side in a dark bookshelf. Nothing really special or out of the ordinary.

Then, we reached the end of the hall and Edward's office.

"This is Edward's office, he likes it the way it is,"Alice wrinkled up her nose as she opened the door, "I tried to get him to let me design a new one but he wouldn't have any of it."

I was impressed to say the least. The desk was a beautiful dark cherry, with simple lines, timeless,you were drawn to it in the center of the large room. He had the typical leather chair, but it was the only typical thing in the room. On one wall was an upright piano, my memories made we walk towards it. I let my fingers graze the top of the polished wood and noticed the hand written sheets of music. He obviously still played, I felt a tug in my chest and marveled at the odd feeling. He had a huge floor to ceiling bookshelf with much more than law books in it.

"Isn't it odd for a high power lawyer to have a piano in his office?" I asked, much to Alice;s amusement.

"Try telling him that, but do it from a distance if you value your hearing," she laughed her high pixie laugh.

I returned to my exploration, he had a wall of framed photographs that I assumed were just family pictures until I looked closer. Two immediately caught my attention, one, a boy holding a toy grenade in one hand, the other in a hook shape and his face twisted up in an almost evil sneer. The second, A woman in a full skirt leaning into a window with her legs spread eagle holding onto a man who was a dwarf. He liked Diane Arbus, my favorite photographer.

I felt another twinge in my chest.

" Good morning Edward!" I heard Alice exclaim from behind me.

" Hello Mary Alice," he said stiffly, belying the warm smile on his face.

"Good Morning, Mr. Masen," I said walking toward them.

"Good Morning Miss Swan," he said tersely.

His shortness took me by surprise, but I didn't let it show, I would play his game.

"Shall we go meet with you Uncle, Alice?" I walked passed him, totally ignoring his presence.

"Yes, maybe next time Edward will show you his Arbus collection more closely, since you are such an avid photographer," she tried to redirect the conversation to include Edward but he just crossed the room to his desk in silence.

We met with her Uncle and I helped her take measurements and keep track of what colors went in what room. Every once in a while Edward would make an appearance, standing across the room with his arms across his chest glaring at me. I cheerfully ignored him. Mr. Masen seemed pleased with the work Alice and I were doing, even though I was just a glorified notebook, I liked him, he seemed so warm and funny. He seemed to like me as well easing the tension in my shoulders until I was totally relaxed despite Edward's attempts to fluster me.

"Bella," Mr. Masen spoke my name, "Alice and I are having dinner at my home this evening, would you care to join us?"

He reached out and placed his arm around my shoulders as he spoke. Did I want to go, would Edward be there, I wasn't sure I could remain unaffected through an entire dinner of his glaring green eyes, no matter how striking they were. I looked to Alice, she was emphatically nodding yes behind Mr. Masens back. I sighed, I would have to endure it.

"I would love to Mr. Masen," I plastered a big smile on face as I saw Edward stalking off in the corner of my vision.

"Excellent, we will see you then," he smiled and strode confidently toward his own office.

"You will love it!" Alice grabbed my arms nearly bouncing up and down as she spoke, " the house is beautiful!"

"I'm sure I will love it," I spoke offhandedly listening to something else drifting from another corner of the building.

Edward was playing his piano, and I could have sworn it was the song from my memory.
