Chapter 4
Bella's POV
"Alice, could I have a word with you?" I called as I walked through the front door.
She peeked around the corner judging the expression on my face.
"Yes?" She asked hesitantly.
"Oh, I was just wondering if you knew anything about a certain guy with bronze hair, green eyes, that looked oddly familiar and just happened to be in the same coffee shop that I was in this morning? Oh, and why he thought I told him to meet me there?" My voice had risen against my will.
She just smiled at me and said, "Was he as cute in person as he was in his picture?" One of her eyebrows rose at the end of her question.
"That's beside the point," I began as I closed the door and walked into the living room. "Alice, you knowhow I feel about these things. Why would you do this to me?" I dropped my things on the coffee table and sunk into the couch.
"Oh Bella," she sat gracefully beside me, "I know you're mad, but it'll pass." Her face softened, "I just couldn't stand to see you alone anymore. All you do is work and to be honest, it's downing my morale."
I looked over to her and smile a half-hearted smile. "I don't mind being alone, it's really not as big a deal as you make it out to be. And yes, I have been working a lot, but it's only because it's almost summer and that's when all the big stories come out. We need to be prepared and focused. I can't afford any major distractions right now."
"So he iscute." She said with a thoughtful look on her face.
"How do you figure?"
"Well," she got up and sauntered over to the kitchen. I followed. "You called him a 'major distraction' which means A. he had to of caught your eye and B. you would be thinking about him too much. If he wasn't cute, then you would have no trouble keeping him out of your mind, thus, making him not a distraction."
"You are so weird. You can keep twisting my words around and I'm going to go take a shower to try and get the smell of coffee out of my hair." I started down the hall.
"Whatever you say Bella, you'll come around," she called after me, "you always do."
