Here's the next chapter. Get to see more of Edward and Bella interaction and get to see a little more about Bella. Her opening up a little. I know what I want to happen in this story, but as for me getting there im not sure how that's going to go. It will probably be a bumpy road. Their relationship will be a fast-moving one though I think. Enough with my rambling on with the story.

Because I forgot with the last chapter. I do not own twilight. I also do not make any money with this as my husband has notified me of.

" Of course Eleazar." I replied to him.

What had I gotten myself into? When I was finished with my paperwork I walked out of the office and over to my chopper. I seen Eleazar and two other men with him. When I walked closer to them I seen that it was a well-known face, Edward Cullen. He was amazingly good looking. He was tall about 6'3, he was muscular but not to the point of being bulky. He had the most unruly hair I had ever seen it was sticking up everywhere. It was also a strange color. It looked closer to a redish brown, but I wouldn't call him a redhead. His eyes were the most beautiful shade of green I had ever seen, almost like emeralds, but a little lighter, they were so bright. He was just all around gorgeous, straight nose, angular jaw, all the way down to his pouty lips. I instantly felt attracted to him. That is not good. I don't do relationships. I don't let other people into my life, and I definitely don't initiate contact. What am I thinking he would never be interested in me anyways. He has no clue who I am. Even if he did, if he knew certain things about me…Why am I even thinking about any of this.

When Eleazar introduced us all the guys looked at me like I had grown a second head. What was that expression on their faces? Was that shock? Why would they be shocked? Unless Eleazar didn't tell them I was a woman, which was a very real possibility. He thought all agents should be treated equally no mater what gender, race, or age. I shook hands with them both but when I touched Edward I felt a tingle of electricity go through my hand and up my arm. I didn't know what that was but it was comforting but I didn't like that at all, so I put it out of my mind for the moment. When Eleazar asked if there was any questions that is when the big one, Emmet decided to piss me off. I hated it to no end when someone underestimated me. So I decided to show him exactly what I could do. To say that he was surprised would be an understatement. I'm sure that he didn't expect to be laying on his back without even touching me, with a gun in his face no less. When I was approved capable for this I led them over to my chopper and threw my bag in. I turned and headed back to Eleazar when Edward was throwing his bag in.

" Ok, a few questions, first what do they know about me? What does he know about the agency? And what do you want him to know?" I asked.

" I didn't tell them anything about you. They didn't even know you were a woman. Edward doesn't know anything about the agency, well nothing about the special divisions at least. I'm sure he knows the things that are public knowledge, but that's it. And as for what I want him to know, I'll leave that up to you. If you want to tell him about what you do then that fine. If you want to tell him about the guardians and the predators then that fine. It's up to you though." he replied.

" I'm not really sure what I'll tell him. I'll worry about that later. What do you think about letting him have some kind of communication? I have another untraceable phone at my house and it's ready to go. I actually finished it before I left. I have one with me and the other one only has its number in the contacts. You can give it to Emmet if you want and I can let Edward use the one I have." I asked. I thought it would make this whole thing a little easier on him if he would be able to talk to someone other than me.

" I think that would be great. I'll go to your house after I leave here and give the phone to Emmet." Eleazar said.

After he said that a thought hit me. " Eleazar, go in and get the phone yourself. Charlie is already there and I can't let him know about.." I started but he cut me off.

" Of course Bella, are you sure it's ok to give the phone to him. How are you going to communicate with them? I know you can't go a whole month maybe more without talking to…" now it was my turn to cut him off.

" I have my own ways of communication, and I have already secured my house phone and Charlie's cell. You don't worry about any of that, just get in, get the phone, and give it to Emmet. Tell him the only number he is allowed to call with it is the one in the contacts. Also, stress to him that no one should know he has the phone and I mean NO ONE, not family, not other employees that work for Edward, no one. I still need to go through his family and employees thoroughly." I told him thinking about all the background checks I was going to have to run through and all the digging I was going to have to do.

" Not a problem, get in, get out. I'll take care of everything. You know I'll have to say 'hi' while I'm in there." he said.

" Of course you will. They will absolutely love that." I told him honestly. It had been too long since they had spent time together.

" Ok Bella, you and Edward really need to get going now. Take care of my family Bella, and get whatever you need." he reminded me.

" Ok and you watch out for mine also." I replied.

" Always." He reminded me just like so long ago.

We turned back to Edward and Emmet and walked over to them.

" Well Edward everything seems ready to go." Eleazar told him.

" Thank you for doing this for me, all of you" he said making eye contact with us all.

" Anytime, but hopefully it won't be necessary again. " he replied. Turning to me he said " Bella he's all your's now and remember what I said."

" Of course Eleazar." I replied. Well I guess it was time to get going. " Mr. Cullen if your ready we need to get going." I told him. He turned and hugged Emmet one last time and mad his way over to Eleazar and hugged him. It looked like Eleazar was talking quietly to him but I couldn't figure out what he was saying I seen him release Edward and pat his arm. Edward walked back over to me and met my eyes. It almost looked like he was searching them. I did not like that at all. I worked hard to keep people away, but it didn't feel right when I was doing this to Edward. Why in the world would I let him in. There was no way I cold let him in.

" We really need to get going, go ahead and get in." I told him while motioning toward the open door of my chopper. " Grab the handle and step on that bar at the bottom and pull yourself up." He did as I instructed and got in. I waved goodbye to Eleazar and Emmet as I was sliding the door shut, and walked around the other side to get in as well. I grabbed the handle and pulled myself up. Looking over at Edward he looked a little confused, I couldn't figure out why. I looked down at what was in his hands and seen that it was the safety harness. " You just buckle yourself like you would a car seat. Take both of them and attach it to the clip between your legs and then the two straps across your chest." He did as I instructed and followed my movements while I did mine. I grabbed the headsets from between us and turned them on and set them on the right channel. Turning towards Edward I handed him his. " Once we get going we wont be able to hear over the blades, if you want to talk you'll need these." He didn't say anything as he took them and put them on. Did I already do something to make him uncomfortable. Shit, why did Eleazar send him with the antisocial agent? I figured I would try to make him a little comfortable by talking to him while flying to our destination. He just looked like he was in deep thought. He would glance at me every so often while I was going through my checklist in my head for getting the chopper ready. When I was finished I called my flight in. " Ok Mr. Cullen were ready to take off." I slowly started to lift us up in the air and turn in the right direction while getting us to proper altitude. By this time he still hadn't said anything, so I decided that I would just let him stew for a little while. We had about four hours maybe four and a half until we got to where we were going.

The silence stayed for about thirty minutes into our flight until I heard Edward take a deep breath. " Well Agent Swan how long are we going to be in this thing going to where ever were going?" he asked.

I looked over at him and he had a small smile on his lips looking at me intently. " It will take up about another four hours maybe a little less and I am taking you to Forks, Washington Mr. Cullen." I had a house there up in the forests that no one but a select few knew about. It had more security measures done to it than the White House, it was for if I ever needed to hide out somewhere if a job went bad.

" Edward. Mr. Cullen makes me feel old. Please call me Edward." he said

" Ok I can do that" I replied to him.

"I would like to get to know you while were here, maybe even come to be friends okay? So can I call you Bella or do I have to call you Agent Swan the whole time were away?" he asked me.

This I had to think about, he wanted to get to know me? Maybe even be friends? I immediately wanted to say no but a quiet " yes " came from my lips. Why would I say yes to him? Something about him just pulled me in. It wasn't anything about him physically either it was something totally different that I didn't understand. Was it that spark that I felt earlier? It made me feel comfortable around him to.

" Well Bella since we have four blissful hours to pass until we get to Forks how about we get to know one another a little better." Edward asked breaking me out of my thoughts.

This was another thing I was not good at. I didn't like talking about myself. I hadn't done that with another adult in some time. No one dared asked about my life at work and my only friend was Angela and she was always around so she didn't need to ask about me. " Um… sure go ahead." I told him.

" How about 20 questions? Is that ok with you?" he asked. I looked back over to him and he looked nervous, like he was afraid of my reaction. I guess it was because the way I was talking to him. Every once and a while he would run his hands through his hair which I knew was a nervous trait. When I only nodded in response he said " Ok if I ask anything that you don't want to answer just say pass and we'll skip it." I only nodded again. He looked like he was in thought again.

" Alright what is your full name?"

" Isabella Marie Swan." I answered him.

" Edward Anthony Cullen" he replied with his answer. " Do you have any questions you want to ask or do you want me to continue?" he asked.

" How about if I think of anything I'll just ask. I'm not really sure." What I wasn't really sure about was if I wanted to open up to him. Whenever he asked my name I didn't even hesitate and blurted out my real name. I never told anyone my real name, even when I wasn't working. I just didn't trust anyone.

" That's fine I have plenty to ask." he chuckled. I looked back over to him and he was looking at me with a look of curiosity. " Next question, how old are you?"

This was the question where he would give me a look of disbelief. No one ever believed I was as young as I was. I didn't look old or anything. Charlie said it was the way I acted and the way I carried myself. I kind of understood after that. I didn't know any twenty-three year olds that acted the way I did. " I'm twenty-three. " I replied. I glanced over at him waiting for the look but it never came. " No comment for that one?" I asked.

" Why would I have a comment about that?" he asked perplexed.

" Usually people don't believe me, they say I don't act like I'm twenty-three." I replied to him.

" You don't act like your that young, but why would someone who acts immaturely work for the F. B. I and be a top agent?" he asked. Wow I definitely didn't expect that answer from him. He was surprising me from the nervousness earlier to his answers now.

" I guess they wouldn't. You didn't answer your question." I said to him.

" I'm twenty-six, almost twenty-seven."

" When is your birthday?" I found myself asking the question before I even thought about it. Who had taken over my mouth and brain? This was so not me.

" It's June 20th. What about you?"

" September 13th I guess all you'll have for your birthday is me this year. Sorry about that by the way." I told him. I always hated celebrating birthdays but at least I had Charlie on my birthdays when I did.

" No it's ok. I quit celebrating birthdays a while ago, but I don't think this year will be all that bad."

My breath caught at his last remark. Why in the world was he saying all those things. Was he trying to say all the things to actually get to know me. From being respectful about my age, then telling me he would enjoy his birthday this year just because I would be there. It was probably all a lie just to get good with me then try to get into my pants. I mean I was the only female he was going to be around for at least the next month. Well pretty boy that isn't going to work with me.

" Mr. Cullen if you are just acting like you respect me and telling me lies like you would actually like to spend time with me just to get into my pants then you might as well stop now. That will not work with me. I'm sorry but you will not be getting any from me so you might as well acquaint yourself with your hand." I told him angrily. I've had guys try to talk to me like that before but I never let them go past the first sentence. I actually followed that tug that I felt toward Edward though and look where it got me.

" No, no that's not what I'm doing at all. I really want to get to know you Bella. I mean I am attracted to you but… shit." he exhaled heavily. Looking over at him I seen looking out the window with his hand running through his hair. He looked conflicted like he was trying to figure out a way to word something. " Alright I'm going to tell you and your going to think I'm either lying about it or nuts. When I first saw you walking over to us I thought you were the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on. I mean I've seen a lot of beautiful women considering what I do but your completely different. Then when you shook my hand I felt…shit ok I felt a spark between us. I have no clue how to explain it but I have never felt something like that for someone ever. I don't know. I just wanted to get to know you. I wanted to try to figure out what that spark meant." he finished. Holy shit he felt that spark to. He also thought I was beautiful. I know I wasn't hideous but I was far from 'the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on.' I didn't know what to think about all he had just said. I must have been thinking to long because Edward broke me out of my thoughts.

" Bella can you please say something?" he asked in a worried voice.

" Sorry, um… sorry I just… No one every tries to get to know me and if they are it's guys acting like their interested in me just to get me in bed. Like I said it's just that no one tries to get to know me. I'm sorry I said that." really who in the hell took over my body? Here I was spilling things and apologizing. I didn't apologize ever.

" No it's ok I understand. But honestly I really do want to get to know you. So… um, can I ask you some more questions." he asked with a smile and a laugh.

I laughed along with him. Maybe he wasn't like all the other guys I had met. Maybe I could actually trust someone else. I didn't want to be closed off from everyone for the rest of my life. Could he be the one that I finally open up to and not hurt me in the process? With that last thought I had my answer.

" Sure, go ahead." I told him.


There it is. Thank you for reading I am about half way through with chapter five. There are probably more questions than answers right now. Eventually everything will be revealed. I definitely will not be dragging everything out. Thanks again and please review and tell me what you think
