I decided to go to work late today. I needed a morning jog to get my head straight again. Bella was cluttering my brain up, I need to get focused again. I kept going over and over the details in my head from last night. How I wish I would have kissed her. I could have done something to let her know I have feelings for her. Did I miss my opportunity? Now I'm afraid this is how the book ends, nothing but good friends. So ya, needless to say the jog didn't help me at all. I went to lunch with my sister Alice. She was just ecstatic to hear I liked someone. Alice could see through me though, she told me that this is the real thing, don't let it go. Those words keep echoing through the ears, don't let it go. So it's decided I have to make a move, but how?

When I arrived at work a little after twelve she was at her desk, typing away. She walked in my office right behind me. I could feel her eyes on my back.

"Good afternoon Mr. Cullen", she said, can I get you some lunch before your two o'clock meeting? While running her finger down my desk.

"No thank you Isabella", I already ate, I told her

My heart sank a little. She didn't act any different since yesterday, maybe she didn't feel the spark between us. I didn't even remember having a meeting scheduled today. I sat down at my desk, looked at my calendar that Bella had laid out for me. Luckily there wasn't a lot going on this week, maybe I should take some time off. Not seeing her would make this teenage crush disappear. My meeting today said Mr. Browning. I wondered what he wanted, another business proposition. He was always trying to get me give him money for his "projects", they always failed though. I did enjoy his company , he was a nice old man and he told the best stories. He was a ladies man as well. It was nice to hear those stories, but I will never forget the last time when he told me one day it all ends, to find someone special and never let them go. He let "the one" go and says there is never a day that he doesn't regret it.

It was almost two, so I decided to go ahead and make my way down to the conference room. Bella gave me a sexy wink as I walked by. I just nodded my head, instead of doing what my man tool had in mind. Must she torment me everyday? Enough with the peek at her panties and breast everyday. It's driving me insane. Even at dinner last night how she would stir her martini with her finger, then suck on it. I can't take it anymore.

Edward Cullen, focus, how is one women making you so insane.

I walked into the empty conference room, I see two drinks, one empty, the other full and a ticket. Was I late? She said two. I saw a note under the empty glass.

Thanks for the bourbon Edward, I had emergency to attend to. Here is a ticket to tonight's Knick's game.

Charles Browning

He bought luxury box seats for this season, but one ticket? I guess it couldn't hurt to go by myself. I swigged the other glass of bourbon and left.
