BPOV
It had been three days since the whole falling and passing out resulting in completely embarrassing myself episode. Honestly it would just have to happen to me wouldn't it?
When I came too I found Emmett, Alice, Edward and Jasper leaning over me with expressions ranging from confusion to amusement on their faces.
I will give you two guesses who was amused, but I don't think you will need more than one. Emmett
"Is she going to be okay?" I heard that stupid velvet voice ask.
I screwed my eyes shut and simply prayed to all that was holy that it was just a dream and that when I reopened my eyes I would be in my nice comfy bed.
I wasn't that lucky and after realising I was still laying with them over me I groaned and rolled onto my side facing away from everyone. Alice kicked the guys out telling them to go to the game without me so luckily I didn't have to face Edward, well for a while anyway.
It was now Tuesday and work was getting weird.
I was planning on asking Edward what his deal was this morning after yesterday, but he never showed up for work today.
Yesterday has started about as best as I thought it would after my boss not only being in my home but also seeing me pass out after hearing his voice could go. I have never been so embarrassed in all my life.
When I first got to work I found Edward already in his office working on a report Edward Senior had given him last week. He looked shocked to see me standing in his doorway watching him, but I couldn't help it. I know he is such a man-whore but man he was just nice to look at.
At first he kept asking me if I was alright, apparently Alice told him that I hadn't gotten enough sugar in my system and that's why I blacked out.
I was starting to think things had taken a good turn and maybe I would be able to start enjoying my job. However I obviously wasn't that lucky because after having a meeting with some of the creeps in accounting he turned back to his old self and was completely ignoring me. When he did decided to acknowledge me it was only to just barked commands. Of course that was before he did his disappearing act after lunch that afternoon, just like when he first started.
So here I sat at 11.45am Tuesday morning and there was still no sign of him, anywhere. I was this close to searching this building from top to bottom to see if he was hiding out. I soon gave up the idea, I mean have you seen the size of this place? It would of taken me literally a year to do.
Angela was downtown with Edward Senior at some shares meeting and Jessica was to preoccupied with what must have been a riveting game of solitaire on her computer to even acknowledge me. Not that she did often and I preferred it that way, it was better than the glares and snooty comments which I regularly received.
As soon as the clock struck twelve I put the office phone straight to voicemail, grabbed my lunch and went down to see Emmett.
I found him sat at what used to be my old desk twirling a paper clip on the tip of his nose with two fingers. I cleared my throat to get his attention causing him to flinch and end up in a heap on the floor.
"Jesus Bells way to give a guy a heart attack" he held his right hand over his heart as he knelt on the floor catching his breath while a few of the employees in the office snickered.
"Well I think I might have something to make up for it" I shook my handbag the was on my arm and gave him a big cheesey grin.
His eyes widened so much I thought for a slight second they might actually popped out of his head. That was not something I wanted to see when I was about to eat, at all.
"What is it?" he shouted.
I simply kept my mouth shut and walked through his office door which was wide open and made myself comfortable on his sofa.
Emmett soon followed behind me like a begging dog and plonked himself next to me causing me to bounce slightly.
"Well? Come on I am waitingggggggg" he sang the last word while holding his hands out in front of him like a five year old would do.
I rummaged through my handbag and produced the two Tupperware boxes that Jake had left in the fridge for me last night.
"Ohhhhh Peanut pasta!" Emmett exclaimed "This stuff is the bomb!"
I had to agree Jakes Peanut pasta was delicious, some people think it was a weird combination but I swear as soon as you take one bite the stuff melts in your mouth and you are forever hooked.
We spoke for a little bit about the weekend before Emmett started laughing, at my expense of course over me blacking out.
"Oh man you should of seen yourself Bella it was just classic you" I groaned and buried my head in my hands "best part of my weekend for sure especially after Edward moaned and was a grouch for the rest of the afternoon" he shovelled more pasta into his mouth before adding "That Jasper dude is cool though"
"You do know I should kick your butt after the whole Yankees shirt thing don't you. You better hope I don't tell Phil about that" I threatened but Emmett just rolled his eyes and ate the rest of his food.
I went back to my floor not long after and found a post-it note stuck on my computer monitor in some of the most elegant writing I had ever seen.
Bella
Would you please type up the notes I have left on my desk.
Edward
When had he been here? I was starting to think that maybe he was avoiding me. Had I done something wrong?
I groaned and balled the note up throwing it into the trash can on my way to get these notes he wanted me to type up. It took me nearly two hours but I think that was mainly down to the fact I spent a large amount of time staring at his perfect script. I didn't see Edward for the rest of the week. Instead every morning there was just a post-it note on my desk.
Saturday morning I left Alice at the house to wait for a plumber to arrive as we had been having problems with the drains and I had to met up with Angela.
Her boyfriend, Ben had gone to visit his parents for the weekend so she asked me if I would go out with her.
We spent most of the day looking around vintage book and music stores in Soho.
Even though Angela was quiet at work she seemed to come alive as soon as the work clothes came off. Alice gave me the evil eye when she saw me leaving the house this morning in my jeans, t-shirt and converses. She shouted something about fashion and embarrassing myself but when Angela turned up she was also dressed in jeans and simple flat ballet pumps.
We arranged to go to dinner on Friday night before the big work party. Mason publishing was holding a launch party for the new issue of Blossom which had Angelina Jolie on the front cover. We didn't speak about work after that, but I could tell that she was wondering why Edward seemed to be M.I.A this past week, she wasn't the only one.
When I arrived back at the house I found myself faced with Jake on the sofa with his head lowered as he sat on the sofa while Alice stood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed in front of her tapping her foot. She was annoyed and agitated, this will not end well.
I didn't have a good feeling about this and started to think about anything I could of done. I was coming up a blank.
Alice didn't say a word, simply pointed to the empty space next to Jake and I quickly complied.
"So the plumber came, said something about finding condoms, feathers and glitter in the pipes, care to explain that one?" she was definitely angry "Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was? You better hope know one finds out about this mister" she was angrily shaking her pointer finger at Jake.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled with a pout on his lips. I rolled my eyes and held in a snicker as he turned beet red from embarrassment and Alice did from simply being angry.
There was one thing I was wondering though, and that was why did she wait to confront Jake about that before I came home.
I was about to ask when she turned to me "And youuuuuu!" Oh boy "He found a foot long of tangled hair. I've told you before Bella it just takes two minutes to clean the plug hole after each use" after she finished scolding the two of us like school children Jake made us dinner and we settled in Jakes room watching some bad chick flicks.
The next week passed just the same as the previous and it was soon the night of Blossoms launch party. Alice was dressing me for tonight, I didn't put up a fight. I knew Edward was going to be there and I just, I just wanted to look nice.
Alice nearly had a heart attack when I went down to see her at lunch and asked her to help me get ready, she usually has to hold me down. As soon as the words left my lips she started rushing around the wardrobe for possible outfits.
She had picked me out a stunning Alexandra McQueen praying mantis bustier dress which she paired with a suede pair of baby pink heels and a matching clutch. She used frosted pink colours on my eyes and lips with a slight bronze on my cheeks that really made me glow. My hair was all scrapped back onto a bun and secured with a lot of hairspray and pins. Alice had truly out done herself this time, I really looked kind of beautiful.
Alice herself was dressed a very Lady GaGa type dress, with shoulder pads and everything. She flattened her hair and had very dark and dramatic makeup.
The party was being held at one of New York's high end clubs, Voyage. It had one main dance floor with balcony seating for its V.I.P guest which it often had. Including Edward Cullen, Jasper Whitlock and their band of merry men and of course the whores that always follow.
As soon as we arrived and got through the photographers who where waiting out the front ready to get pictures of their favourite celebrities we quickly grabbed a booth and ordered some drinks.
"Ladies" Felix said smiling as he joined me and Alice "You both look gorgeous as always"
I rolled my eyes and took a big gulp of my wine while him and Alice started to talk fashion. I completely tuned them out at that point and turned my attention to the dance floor below us. I spotted lots of people from Blossom including Jessica who looked trashed already and was currently grinding with Tyler and I couldn't help but laugh at that.
However my attention didn't stay on those two for too long as Edward walked through entrance door with Tanya Denali clutching his arm.
"I'm going to get another drink" I told Alice and Felix before leaving the both and heading towards the bar.
After getting a fresh glass of wine I closed my eyes and took one of the largest sips of wine I could before going back to the fashion booth.
"You know wine was meant to be sipped not downed" and there was that damned velvet voice.
My eyes popped open and sure enough right next to me he stood, thankfully free of his whore.
"And you know the office is where your meant to work, not your bedroom" I replied taking another mouthful of wine.
"Touché" he replied before ordering himself a beer. As soon as his attention was on the bar tender I made my escape. However when I returned to the booth both Alice and Felix had gone, probably to the dance floor. I rolled my eyes and took a seat sipping my wine as I watched the people around me smooze and sweet talk others who they wanted something from.
"Mind if I sit"
I looked up to see Edward making himself comfortable opposite me.
"Looks like you already have" I replied.
"Touche"
"You know you say that a lot"
"Yes, I have been told" he smirked as he looked out at the people all around us "So how come your sat here, alone while your friend is downstairs dancing?"
I flushed as he turned back to face me with those damn green eyes of his "I umm… don't dance" I replied.
"You Don't dance?" he asked looking mildly confused.
"Nope" I simply replied as I run my finger around the top of my wine glass.
"So you can dance and don't or you just can't?" He asked as his eyes watched my finger.
"Why the interest?" I asked leaning forwards on the table between us. He looked up and quirked an eyebrow, he simply starred at me awaiting my answer.
"I can barely walk straight let alone dance in heels okay so I just don't dance" he didn't need to know silly little things like Alice would make me dance when we went out. Nope definitely not.
He looked at me for what felt like the longest minute in history before standing up and holding his hand out to me. I gave him a 'what the hell' look and he simply beckoned me with his hand once again.
"Come on Bella, don't make me beg"
"Beg?" I questioned as my body filled with dread as I realised what he wanted me to do.
"Come on I'm taking you down to the dance floor and your going to dance" he paused for a moment before adding "With me"
I think me heart just burst from shock…...
