Chapter 7:
EPOV:
My alarm went off bright at early at 5:30am. I didn't have to be at work till 9, but I wanted to make sure to try and hit Starbucks so I had enough time to get Bella's phone number. For not getting a whole lot of sleep last night, I was pretty energized. Excited for my first day and my new job, and hopefully getting to talk to the girl of my dreams for the first time. First of many, many, many times. I couldn't help but smile to myself.
I showered, shaved, and did what I could with my hair. It was about 6:15 when I was getting into my Volvo and heading back to the Starbucks that started it all.
BPOV:
"Kiss me.." I whispered to him. I looked up into the beautiful green eyes burrowing down into mine. He was so hot he just dripped sex, and he was here with me. He slowly leaned down and his lips pressed up against mine, my hand grabbed at his hair as my kisses became feverishly passionate.
That's when we were interrupted by the worst beeping sound I'd ever heard. Ah! The fucking alarm!! I blindly reached over to my night table and smacked the button, sending a wave of pain through my fingers. If it's not Jacob coming between us, it's damn reality. After that, I was defiantly not drifting back to sleep so I rolled out of bed and headed for the shower. I was defiantly not a morning person, and my body was still recovering from my indulgence on Saturday night.
After I got out of the shower, threw on a little makeup, and did a little something with my hair I was ready to go. I worked my "real" job, not Starbucks hell for another five days. I grabbed my phone and saw I had two text messages.
The first was from a girl I worked with at Starbucks, we hung out a few times but never became really good friends. She worked there full time and occasionally would work a Saturday morning with me if Mike had requested off. There was just some hot guy in here asking for you!! My heart skipped a beat, maybe bronze hair god DID get the hint after all. Too bad he didn't know I was only there on Saturdays.
I didn't reply, I went to the next message. From that unknown number again, Bella, I can't express how sorry I am for hurting you. Please talk to me. Text or call me. Maybe we can do lunch? Ugh, It was Jake again. I didn't reply to that either, just shut my phone put it in my purse and headed out to my truck.
EPOV:
I walked into the Starbucks at about 6:30. I looked around; my coffee girl was nowhere to be found. Maybe she was in the back, or worked a later shift. I was determined, I walked over to the counter where a petite blonde was working, I read her name badge. "Ashley, can you tell me if Isabella is working? She goes by Bella?" I was glad I got that little tidbit of information. The girl with the nametag of Ashley looked up at me, curiously. "No, sorry. Bella only works here on Saturday mornings."
Damn! I tried to hide the disappointment on my face, "Thanks." I didn't think she would give me her phone number; they probably have some rule about giving out employee phone numbers to crazy stalker looking customers. I ordered a coffee from Ashley and left, I decided I would head into my office early so maybe I could enjoy a normal lunch hour.
BPOV:
As I pulled into the parking lot of work I saw Alice had just pulled in also. She works in the office on the floor above mine; it's really nice we get together for lunch all the time. I waved to her and she ran over so we could walk in together. "Want to meet for lunch?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes. Alice shook her head, "Can't sorry. I have to run errands for the boss lady today." She rolled her eyes. Alice worked as the assistant to one of the CEO's, she had to do all kinds of crazy stuff for her boss all the time, but she got paid extremely well.
The elevator hit my floor and I waved to Alice, "Cya later! Have fun being a slave today." I laughed as she rolled her eyes at me once more before the elevator door closed. I headed down the rows of cubicles to mine which was way at the end, some of my co-workers were staring at me and whispering. Great. Was one of them at Eclipse on Saturday night??
As I approached my desk, I now saw what the buzz was about. So much for keeping a low profile, Bella! There was a glass vase containing a dozen roses sitting on my desk. It must have been delivered before I got there, which meant there had to be a big scene. I could see it now; everyone had to know who got the flowers! I sat my purse down on the left side of my desk, my cheeks were now burning. I tried to forget that there were still several curious people checking out my delivery. I saw the card poking out of the middle of the arrangement, I didn't need to read it I had a pretty good idea. In spite of myself, I snatched it out of its plastic holder.
Bella. I will find a way to get you to forgive me. I'm sorry I messed everything up so bad, I know you are hurt. I could see it in your eyes. I miss you. Love, Jake.
Anger flashed through my system, I quickly threw the card down on my desk and moved the stupid flowers of out my way. I couldn't believe this. Fuck you Jake! He thought he could just make it better by texting me and sending flowers? Why did he have to mess with my mind? However, I quickly gained composure and started my work for the day. I was eager for lunch, and even though I was going to be eating alone I knew exactly where I was going to go. This quaint little café that was a couple blocks away, where I could just sit with my thoughts and maybe try to text Mike or Alice about the flowers and see what two cents they could throw in.
A/N Edward and Bella are finally going to meet in the next chapter! But what will Bella do now that Jake regrets his mistakes?
