I walked in and shut the door with a sigh. I wanted nothing more than to run out and grab Edward, declaring my love for him. Of course, then he would sweep me into his arms telling me how much he loved me. Yep, that pretty much settles it. If there is one thing I'm absolutely sure of: I'm so in love with Edward Masen.

Xx-P-A-G-E-B-R-E-A-K-Xx

True to his word Edward called. And I am not ashamed to admit that I started jumping up and down in excitement before answering.

"Hello?" I inquired with a smile in my voice.

"Hey, this is Edward."

"Ah, I know, the wonders of caller-ID, huh?" I responded teasingly.

"Just making sure, better safe than sorry I always say."

"Oh, ok, then. So what have you been doing these past few hours?"

"Missing you." He responded at once. At these words I blushed deeply. Over the phone Edward sighed.

"I wish I could see the blush on your face." By now I was sure my face would still be stained with color by the next time I saw him. He was already so attuned to my mannerisms. Maybe he did return my feelings.

"Yeah, yeah." I grumbled.

"Don't worry; I really enjoy your blush among the many other things." Just when I thought my face was going back to normal.

"Keep it up and my face will still be red the next time I see you, that is, if Alice doesn't get to you first for turning me into a tomato."

"Ah, but a very beautiful tomato."

"Gah! Stop it!" I exclaimed, pressing my free hand to my burning cheek.

"Alright." I could hear the amusement lace throughout his voice. "I really did miss you though." And I believed him. How could I not? The tone of his voice was nothing but sincere.

"I missed you too." I said back.

"Good, we're both in the same boat then." I could hear the smile in his voice. Now I wanted even more badly just to see him again.

Yep, definitely over my head.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" He inquired.

"Probably just working at the bookstore. What about you?"

"Well, I go back to work tomorrow."

"Oh, that's good." I didn't really know what else to say. But I can say that I was disappointed I wouldn't get to see him if we were both working.

"What time do you get off of work?"

"Um, sometime around eight. Why?"

"Oh, no reason." There was that 'innocent' voice of his. Now I knew something was up.

"What are you planning?"

"Planning? Who said anything about planning?" I was positive that he was planning something now. What could it be?

Nevertheless, I shrugged it off. Maybe I was just over-thinking things again.

"Okay. . ." I let my answer trail off. I took a strand of hair and twisted it around my finger while I waited for him to say something.

"Well, I guess I better let you go. It's getting kind of late and you probably have to get up early." I glanced up at the clock; we had been on the phone for over two hours!

"Wow, I guess time flies and all that, huh?"

"I guess so…"

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye Bella." He sounded just as reluctant as I felt.

"Bye Edward." I hung up the phone. Suddenly I yawned. I'm glad he had reminded me about the time, I would've most likely talked to him all night.

Xx-P-A-G-E-B-R-E-A-K-Xx

I arrived at the bookstore expecting a long day ahead. I was so pathetic missing a guy I had only met three days ago. I didn't believe in love at first sight, but there was no denying the spark of attraction between us. I felt like I had known him all my life. He was just so comfortable to be around. And I missed him so badly. Stop it, I mentally chastised myself. Get a grip; you can talk to him later. After donning my apron I headed to the cash register. Mrs. Barker was there already wiping down the counter and fixing the display making sure everything looked alright for the customers. I greeted her and then took my place on the stool behind the counter.
"So how was your weekend?" Mrs. Barker asked with a twinkle in her eye and a knowing smile on her face.

"It was fantastic!" I replied with a goofy smile on my face.

"And I don't suppose a handsome young man had anything to do with that?" She asked smiling.

"That may have been part." I said as nonchalant as I could. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Okay!" I gushed, "Most of it!" She laughed.

"It sounds like somebody's in love!" She said in a singsong voice.

"Oh somebody's most definitely in love." I answered with a smile. Just then the bell rang signaling a customer ending our conversation. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the rest of the day.

Xx-P-A-G-E-B-R-E-A-K-xX

I sighed as the last customer left. Monday's are always one of the busier days in the book store. I started toward the back to put up my apron. Suddenly the bell rang. I turned, confused. The store is supposed to be closed, who's coming in now? As I started back toward the front, I was met with the sight of my favorite green eyes.

"Edward!" I cried, launching myself at him. He staggered back at the impact of me hitting him with my hug. Just then I realized what I had done. I blushed furiously as I backed up and started to make my apology.

"I'm starting too really like these greetings of yours. Do you do that to everyone or just me?" He teased with a wide smile.

"Just you!" I told him brightly. My mood had changed drastically with the appearance of Edward. He reached up and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I'm sure he could have probably felt the heat of my face on his hand.

"How was your day?" He asked.

"It was really long and busy." I sighed again. "I'm glad it's over."

"So you're free to leave?"

"Yep!" I replied. "I'm allowed to leave after closing time, unless I want to stay for whatever reason."

"Well, would you be interested in joining me for dinner? We can come back and pick up your truck, or you could leave it here and I'll drop you off at your apartment. Personally, I like the second choice better."

"But what would I do in the morning for lunch?" I questioned.

"I would pick you up and drop you off obviously." He looked at me with pleading eyes. How could I resist that face?

I rolled my eyes before answering, "Alright, you can pick me up and drop me off." I was awarded with the heart-stopping crooked smile of his. If this dinner would be like yesterday's lunch we were in for an interesting night to say the least.

Okay so I hope you all liked this chapter! So as of right now both Edward POV is leading by one (over Bella's POV) and 'maybe' and 'I don't care' are tied with one…what does that mean? VOTE!!! So will you please vote or just leave me your opinion in a review?

The question is whether you want Edward's point of view to be in the story.

Just tell me yay or nay.

We hit 35 reviews! Yay!!!! =)

And guys, I have 27 of you on my alerts but I only got FIVE reviews for this chapter (I think we can do better!)…could I get maybe half of you to review; it would be GREATLY appreciated. (I'm only FIVE away from FORTY!!! EEP!!!)

Thanks for reading=)
