Well I just wanted to say special thanks for all the people who reviewed my story because it makes me feel good…but I would like more reviews please….don't make my puppy dog pout loll…ok ill shut up….
BPOV-
Maybe he likes me…then maybe he doesn't…maybe he does…maybe he doesn't. Ugh forget this, it doesn't matter.
But he is so hot, and handsome, and amazing…ahh. Oh shut up Bella, but I got his number and he has mine…will he call me…so many questions….I need some ice cream.
I walked to the fridge and took out some Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and plopped down on the couch.
Edward Masen, I thought. He seems interesting…oh what am I thinking he's amazing.
I wonder if I will ever see him again.
EPOV
I drove home to find Alice's car parked in the garage. Great, I thought what does she want?
I opened the door and was bombarded by Alice. "Soisawyouwiththisgirlatthemallwhowasshetellmeallaboutitwhyarentyoutalking!"
"Alice slow down what the heck did you just say."
"I said I saw you with this girl at the mall, who was she tell me all about it….why aren't you talking….tell mee."
"Calm down Alice, I don't think you should drink anymore coffee in the morning; it's not good for you."
She rolled her eyes, so tell me, she said. I sighed, "That was Bella Swan".
She screamed…"OMG no way she was pretty nice catch Edward, it's about time."
"So did you get her digits?"
"Yes" I said, "I drove her home today."
"OMG yay so when am I going to meet her…oh and what did she say about you being Edward Cullen?"
I ruffled my hair…"I didn't tell her it was me."
Alice just stared at me, mouth opened.
"You didn't tell her?" I shook my head. I couldn't understand why though.
"Alice I don't know how to tell her, I don't know why."
She had a smug smile on her face.
"You can't tell her because you like her a lot and you're afraid that if you tell her that you are Edward Cullen she wouldn't want to spend time with you anymore therefore you are lying to her just like she is laying about you and her dating."
I raised my eyebrows, and pinched the bridge of my nose. That sort of made sense.
I mean the other girls I had dated…which were not many, only liked me for my money and publicity.
"So, Edward you do know that you can't keep it from her forever you know."
I nodded my head, "yes."
"Good so when do I get to meet her; I want to go shopping with her."
"Alice I whined you will not meet her for a while, and plus I don't even know her that well yet."
"I don't even know if she likes me very much."
"Well only time will tell," Alice said.
"Make plans with her."
"Yeah ok Alice."
If only she knew how much I wanted to call Bella right now, but I knew that would be too weird.
BPOV (the next day)
I woke up, had a shower and put on my blue knit skirt and one of my favorite white halter top. (All pics on profile)
I left my hair, since it was behaving today. I decided to grab a muffin at the corner bakery.
I paid for my muffin and walked out. It was another great day, with the sun and a light breeze. I sighed; sometimes I wish I wasn't so alone. I decided to take a walk in the park.
EPOV
It was 11:30 and I had been in the office since 6am. I rubbed my forehead. I needed to get out.
"Hey Bob," I said. "Yes" he replied.
"I'm going to go out for a while, I need a break."
"Yes Sir Mr. Cullen."
I walked out of the building and decided to take a walk around the park. It was a beautiful day, mind as well enjoy it.
I shoved my hands in my pockets and walked through the park. I saw an elderly couple sitting on the bench together.
They looked so happy together; I wondered how long they had been together because from the looks of it, seemed a long time.
I imagined Bella and I like that, and smiled, then frowned. That seemed unlikely to happen.
I just felt this pull toward her, which I just couldn't understand.
I stopped walking; well there she was walking towards me, though I don't think she noticed me, or the uneven ground where she was about to trip.
BPOV
I had been walking for a while, but it felt nice, especially since I hadn't tripped or stumbled.
Just then I tripped, I braced myself for the impact, yet it didn't come. I opened my eyes and found myself looking into all too familiar green orbs.
"Edward," I said breathlessly. He smiled his gorgeous crooked smile, which I loved.
I couldn't find the strength to look away from his eyes. "Nice to see you again Bella," he said.
That finally shook my gaze; I blushed, "yeah nice to see you too."
"Well, what are you doing right now", he asked.
"Oh I was just walking around, I guess."
He grinned, "Well do you mind if I join you." "Of course", I said all too quickly.
He chuckled, "so" he said, "how was your day?"
"Umm it was good, yours?"
"Eventful", he replied, "until now."
He said the last part so quietly that I almost didn't hear it. I looked up at him. I hadn't noticed before but the white button up shirt he had on complicated his muscles well.
"So", he began "you know we never finished our 20 questions."
I smiled, "right." "Tell me about your family", I asked.
"Well, you already know from before that I have a sister named Alice."
"She's"…..I giggled as he struggled for the words.
"She is hyper", he said looking at me. "You do not want to go shopping with her…ever…unless you want to die early."
I smiled, "she can't be that bad", I said. His eyes widened…"you do not want to know", he said.
"Ok", I said "so do you have a brother", I was curious.
"No" he said, "just a psychotic shopaholic sister."
"Then there is my mother Esme and my father Carlisle. They are wonderful and I love them, they took me in when my parents died."
I gasped, so his parents died.
"What is your family like", he asked.
"Well my parents died a couple years ago so I stayed with my friend Emmet, who is like a bog brother to me."
He looked down at me, "I'm very sorry about your parents", he said sincerely.
"It's alright", I said, "I've kind of gotten used to it now, but it still hurts now and then."
He smiled, "I know what you mean, although I didn't know my parents so it doesn't hurt too much."
I stared into his eyes, I didn't feel as lonely as before and I liked talking to him very much.
"So, Edward do you want to grab some lunch maybe", I asked uncertainly.
He smiled his dazzling crooked smile, wow dazzling…did I just think that? Well whatever cause it was true, I bet he could probably dazzle coffee.
"I would love to have some lunch", he said.
"Great then where do you want to go?"
"Hmmm well I know this amazing Italian restaurant, if you want?"
"Sure" I said, "sounds good"
"Great so should we take my car?"
"Yup", I said
We walked out of the park and towards an office building. I noticed Edward tensed next to me…I wondered why.
EPOV-
I was more than glad the Bella seemed relaxed with me and more about the fact that she asked me to have lunch with her.
We were walking towards my car and I realized we walking towards my office building…where I worked….and my car was inside…where people would greet me as Edward…Cullen…and I'm walking with Bella who is supposedly dating Edward Cullen…who is me…oh boy.
This can't be good…"um Bella could you wait here?"
"I'm just going to go get my car"
She looked confused, but said sure.
"K well I'll be right back"
I took off, with a fast walk towards the office building.
When I was inside the grounds Jacob as usual greeted me.
"Hello Mr. Cullen"
"Jacob" I replied quickly in a rush to get my car.
"Is there anything I can do for you", he asked.
"Yes, can you get me my car please"?
"Sure Mr. Cullen, and which car would you like me to get?"
"My Volvo please".
He nodded and walked away.
2 minutes later my Jacob arrived with my Volvo, and stepped out.
"Thank you Jacob"
"No problem, good day Mr. Cullen"
I nodded and climbed into my car and drove out off the building grounds and found Bella waiting on the sidewalk.
I felt bad for leaving her, but she did not need to know the real me…yet at least.
I drove up to her and she climbed in.
BPOV-
After Edward took off I noticed the sign of the building said Cullen Corporation.
So he worked there, I shrugged.
It seemed weird that he wanted me to stay here while he got his car, but I didn't think too much of it.
I noticed a silver Volvo drive up to me and noticed Edward inside and climbed in.
He smiled as I got in and I returned with a smile too.
"So which restaurant are we going to?"
"Well we are going for Italian so you will see, I've been there a couple of times and the food is great."
"Ok", I said.
He turned the radio on and I recognized Clair de Lune playing. I never pegged him for a classical person.
"Clair de Lune", I asked.
"You know Debussy", he asked.
"Yeah, my mother used to play this around the house, but I only know my favorites."
He grinned, "This is my favorite to".
"You know, I never thought you would like the classics", I said.
"Well I could say somewhat the same about you too."
I had a small smile on my lips, "well than I guess we have a lot more to learn about each other."
I was surprised by my own words; they came out so confidently, I blushed.
"You know I love your blush, it suits you very well."
I looked up at him and blushed another 10 different shades of red…again.
He chuckled, then stopped and tensed.
I wondered what had caused his sudden tenseness.
"What's wrong", asked.
He looked at the rearview mirror and sighed. "Nothing, just a complication"
I noticed a couple a nice sleek black Mercedes cars behind us.
"Well we are here", he said.
We pulled up into an Italian restaurant named La Bella Italia.
I looked up at him, and he was smiling.
"You know Bella in Italian means beautiful."
I blushed, "umm yeah", I said.
"Fits you perfectly", he said looking at me in the eyes.
I couldn't say anything, but stare into his emerald eyes.
"Come on, you are probably hungry", he said.
"Uh yeah", we walked into the restaurant and Edward asked the lady at the counter for a table for two.
She ogled at Edward for more time than she needed too but led us to our table.
"Your waitress should be out shortly", she said looking at Edward.
"Thank you", he replied and looked over at me.
The waitress seemed unwilling to leave but did.
"So, Bella tell me, what got you into working in the commercial making business", he said with a smile.
"Oh, well it wasn't something that I ever thought I would do but, things change; I guess you never really do what you plan."
"But I suppose after I came to Los Angeles someone offered me a job and I took it."
"Hmm", he replied, "that's…interesting".
"Well, I'm not that interesting."
"Well I for one think you are very interesting, and I never seem to know what you are going to say."
"Well what do you normally know what most people will say?"
"Most of the time", he said.
Just then the waitress came.
"Hi my name is Nancy, and I'll be your waitress, is there anything I can get or are you ready to order."
Apparently, Edward would be the one to get his food today, because she didn't even look at me.
"I'll have a coke, what about you Bella".
Reluctantly, she turned her head towards me and had a scowl on her face.
"Oh um I'll have a coke to."
She jotted it down on her notepad and turned back to Edward.
"So would you like to order?"
"Bella", Edward said.
I picked the first thing on the menu, "I'll have the mushroom ravioli."
"Ok, and you Sir", she asked flipping her hair.
"You know what, I'll have the same thing" he said and handed her our menus, without giving her a second glance.
She took them and walked away.
"So how long have you lived in Los Angeles?"
"Umm about a year and a half", I replied.
"So why did you decide to move to Los Angeles?"
"I like the not weather, and plus anywhere where it snows just isn't the safest place to live…for me."
He chuckled, "I see", he said.
Yeah, ice and rain don't help the uncoordinated."
He smiled, I decided to ask some questions about him, but the Nancy decided to come at the moment.
She placed our drinks and food on the table, and looked at Edward.
"Well is there anything else you want."
"NO thank you", he said frustrated. She took the hint and walked away.
I looked up at him. "Well you must know the effect you have for girls", I said to him, and instantly regretted it.
He looked at me and smiled his crooked smile. "I affect girls", he said in a cocky tone.
"Well yeah", I said. "More like dazzle them."
I blushed thinking about what I had just said.
I didn't dare to look up at him and dug into my food.
"I dazzle people", he said.
Oh god this guy is going to kill my.
I sighed, swallowed my food and looked up at his smile.
"Yes", I said.
"Do I dazzle you", he asked?
I blushed, again…"frequently."
He seemed puzzled by my answer but didn't press any further, which I was grateful for.
We ate in a comfortable silence.
"So Edward where do you work?"
He stopped chewing, and ruffled his hair. Oh what I would give to run my fingers through his bronze hair.
EPOV-
Lunch was going well and it was interesting to hear Bella say that I dazzle her.
We ate in comfortable silence then she asked… "So Edward, where do you work?"
I ruffled my hair, what to say what to say… "Ahh", she must have already seen me go into the Cullen Corporation and I just remember some of my body guards following me here behind my car.
"I work over at the Cullen Corp.".
"What do you do there?"
"I uh, paper work", I said.
She seemed to buy it.
After we finished eating I payed for lunch with much entreating with Bella. She was very stubborn and it was cute to see her fight over the bill.
I was hesitant to go out incase my security guards where outside, I mean it's not like they need to protect me so much and that too drive around behind me with 3 Mercedes cars…talk about standing out.
That is just ridiculous, I should have mentioned to Jacob to tell them not to come.
We walked out of the restaurant and I didn't see any of their cars and sighed.
Bella looked at me questioningly and I flashed her my crooked smile that I seemed to always do when I was with her.
"Would you like me to drive you back to your house", I asked her realizing I had to get back to work soon.
"Sure" she replied, "that would be great."
We walked over to where I parked my Volvo.
"Ahh Mr. Cullen", I heard someone call loudly behind me.
I froze and looked over to Bella.
She looked up at me…shocked
