I was woken up by the coldness at my back. I turned around and saw Edward sleeping. He seemed so peaceful. His lips curved upward. I was wondering what dream he had. I glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand. The red digits said it was ten thirty in the morning.

'Edward.' I whispered.

'Mmmm…' he stirred a little, which I found it was cute.

'Edward, it's already ten thirty in the morning. Get up.' I unlocked his hands at my waist and headed to the bathroom.

I saw my suit sat on the bathroom counter. There was a piece of paper on the clothes.

Bella, it said, I am sorry about last night. I will make it up for you later. Hope you enjoy Edward's company. Alice.

I sighed and steeped into the shower. I let the hot water ran thorough my body and my muscles relaxed immediately. I replayed the things happened last night. I wasn't sure how I felt about Edward. Yes, he was an arrogant jerk. But on the other hand, he was sweet and caring, not to mention how good looking he was.

'Edward.' an angelic voice whispered. I knew it was Bella's voice. I smiled.

'Mmmm…' I didn't get enough sleep last night, thanked to Bella's nightmare and the return of her roommates. I still wanted to sleep some more.

'Edward, it's already ten thirty in the morning. Get up.' Bella unlocked my hands at her waist and got off the bed. I turned around and the red digits on the clock on the nightstand said it was ten thirty now. Shit, I had to be at the department in half an hour. I quickly got up and headed out. before I left Bella's apartment, I found a piece of paper and wrote her a note. I quietly shut the door and went back to my apartment.

As I went into the apartment, I saw Jasper and Emmett were sitting on the sofa and watching ESPN. They were so absorbed into the game that they didn't even notice me. I tiptoed to my room. I picked out my outfit and headed to the bathroom and had a quick shower. I left for the department as fast as I could. I ran to my Volvo and drove slightly above the speed limit. I wasn't good at obeying speed laws, even I was a cop.

I stepped into my office right on time. Everyone was working silently. I walked to Green.

'Hey Green. Are there any cases coming in?'

'No boss. It seems it's a quiet day today. But Walkers wants you to give his all the paperwork you own him before you go on your vacation. He said, I quote, 'he better finish all the paperwork before he leaves, or I will have his ass back and glue him on the chair.'' I groaned. I had forgotten I still had tones of paperwork to do. So I sighed heavily and started finishing my paperwork.

I heard Edward left the apartment when I was in the bathroom. I stepped out of the bathroom and saw the digital clock on my nightstand. I said it was ten forty-five. Shit, I got to be in the office in less than fifteen minutes, or boss will have my ass. So I quickened my pace.

I got into my office on ten fifty-nine. Thank god and thanks to the maniac cabbie driver, I made to my office in less than fifteen minutes and Mr. Banner isn't here yet. I settled down at my desk. I knew I had tons to do.

'Hey, George. Is there any case coming in?' I asked one of my teammates, George Sands.

'Nope, it seems it is a quiet day today.' I smiled at his words. That meant I could have my vacation without and delay. I buried myself into the paperwork.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was interrupted by my cell. It said it was Alice calling.

'Hey, Alice. Are you excited about the vacation?' I smiled, but she didn't answer me right away. I knew something was wrong.

'Hey, Bella. Look, I know we had plans to stick with, but it has to be delayed.'

'Why, Alice? What happened?'

'My boss offers me a job.' I could hear the guilt behind her voice.

'Alice, I thought you told your boss you are not going to take any jobs this week.' Alice was fashion designer. Out last 'vacation' was ruined by a sudden job offer. She said it was a great opportunity, so I didn't complain and spend my vacation at home with Rose, having Friends marathon.

'Well, Bella. I couldn't help there is a job offered to me. Bella, please. This time, I was asked specifically to finish the designs. I am really hoped that you can understand.'

I sighed. 'It seems that I don't' have a choice, but to delay our plan. You go and do your job.' I said with a harsher voice than necessary.

'I am so sorry Bella. I promise it wouldn't happen next time.'

'You made the same promise last time, Al.' I replied coldly and snapped the phone shut without waiting for her answer. At least I still had Rose. I didn't feel like I would work for any longer, so I decided to go to the café nearby.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Here you go, a cup of plain black.' Leah said with a cheerful voice.

'Thanks, Leah.' I whispered.

'Bella, what happened? You seem upset.' Leah sat on the chair across me.

'It's just disappointed in someone. I did a very hard work to gain me this week off, but my best friend ruin it with her job. It wasn't the first time she did this. she promised me that it won't happen again. But she didn't keep it.'

'That's why you are upset?' I nodded. I couldn't speak anymore. 'Bella, don't be upset. She didn't want it either.'

'Thanks very much, Leah. I think you should get back to work. I am sorry I kept you too long.'

'It is okay, Bella.' then, she headed back to the counter. I took a small sip of my coffee. I tried to calm myself down. After being as a negotiator, I was able to control my emotion in a very short. I was no longer very emotional. I found coffee was one of the most effective ways, thought I had very low tolerance to caffeine. Leah was right. I was just put my anger on Alice for something she couldn't control. It was her dream to become a famous fashion designer. So I guessed this was a big step to her dream. I felt bad that I shouted at her like that. I reached to my pocket for my cell, but my cell wasn't there. I panicked. Where did I put it? Did I lose it on the way here?

'Hey, Bella. are you looking for something?'

I looked up. It was Edward. 'Hey, Edward. I was looking for my cell. I couldn't find it. I am not sure if I left it in the office or if I lost it.' My voice was full of panic. I still looking around my seat, hoping it appeared somewhere in the café. Edward put a hand on my shoulder and knelt in front of me.

'Bella, calm down. As you have said before, you could've left it in your office…'

'Bella.' Another voice called out. It was George.

'George, what are you doing here?'

'You left you cell in the office. Someone called you. It seems it is quite urgent. I saw you left the office in haste and you looked upset, so I guess you went here. Here's your cell.' He took my cell out of his pocket and handed it to me.

'Thanks, George. Would you like a coffee? It's my treat, to thank you for helping me.'

'Nah. Maybe next time. Thanks, anyway.' Then he walked out of the café. I looked at my cell and there were a dozen of missed call from Rose and a message.

'Hi, Bella. It's me, Rose. Listen, I couldn't stick with our plan. I am sorry. I got a very great job in LA. It was a great chance. I have to take it. I am so sorry Bella. I will make it up for you. Hope you will have fun with Alice. I will talk to you later. I am so sorry.' Apparently, Rose still didn't know about Alice's great job opportunity. I felt anger again. I knew they couldn't control it, but I couldn't help myself. I felt my tears rolled down my cheek. Edward reached over and cupped my face. He wiped off the tears with his thumb.

'What happened, Bella?' he asked softly.

'My friends, we were supposed to go to Miami. But now, they all have works to do.' My voice broke. He gently pulled me closer to him. I let my tears soaked his shirt.

'Bella, I am wondering if you want to spend your vacation with me, if you like.' Edward whispered into my ear.


Would Bella say yes to Edward? Review, so that you would know that.
