-One Week Later-

Its been one week since he had last seen her. He been coming to this same coffee shop to no avail. He hasn't seen her. It didn't surprise him much, who would want to bump into a complete idiot like him? Who blurts out would I see you again? He shaking his head as he walked up to the counter. He places his order and leans against the counter. The only bright side to his day has been some news on blue rose. His boys have found some information on some cases about a thief that used to leave a black rose at the crime scene. The only thing the case has never been solve nor where there in one central location. The crimes seem to take place all over the country. There was no exact pattern to follow, the same thing was happening with blue rose. She had no exact pattern but her last two crimes had been in New York so it be easier to narrow her down.

He sighed as he pick up his steaming cup and walked where he first saw her. He sat down heavily on the couch and took a careful sip of his coffee. He let out a yawn as he ran his hand through his hair. He felt drain from all the work he was putting into the office. He look at his watch, he had about 3 more hours before he could actually go crash. He stretched his body and looked at the scene around him. He could see some college student bend over their laptops, others where talking to each other. The occasional lovebirds holding hands. He shook his head as he remember his college years. He had been so focused on going to the academy that didn't have time for anything that wasn't studying. He let out a tired sighed and closed his eyes. Just as his mind was beginning to relax, a vibration woke him up. He peek at his blasted pager and sighed. There had to be reason why he choose to this career for a living? Maybe he should have become a doctor like his father? He got up pick up his cup and headed for the door. When he step outside he shiver a little against the cold. He looked down at his pager again when suddenly he hit something…he looked up quickly only see a bunch of brown curls flying backwards. He reached out to catch the person…only to have his emerald eyes lock with her beautiful chocolate brown.

She was looking at a sketch of a jewelry store. They had some gems on lockdown for "special clients", but those clients will never hold those gems. She giggled to herself as she study the paper. The jewelry store had two sections, the ground floor for regular viewing and then the private viewing rooms. She needed to find a way into one of those private viewing rooms and sneak into the vault. Engross with the sketch that she didn't realize she bump into something hard that sent her flying backwards. The paper slip out of her hands onto the ground as she felt the wind rush past her. She try to grab something when arms wrapped around her waist. She looked up and meet those emerald eyes…oh!

His arms were around her delicate waist, and her strawberry scent assault his senses. He couldn't help himself as he breath it in. He looked at her wide chocolate eyes as he lifted her up to her feet but did not remove his arms.

"Hello again, Miss Swan"

A blush enter her rosy cheeks as she giggled lightly and said.

"Now Officer Cullen you didn't need to knock me down just to say hello"

He laughed at her and his intense emerald eyes burned at her.

"Oh I know, my wicked good looks is what made you walk right into me"

She threw her head back in laughter before shaking her head at him. He thought he was smooth and funny. She had news for him, that this was all a game. She wanted information from him. She had to constantly remind herself that Edward was her worst enemy. She looked at how his arms where around her waist. The electric current was leaving goose bumps along her skin. She removed herself from his arms quickly while saying

"Thank you Edward, for saving me"

She looked up at him as he ran his fingers through his bronze color locks. He let out a breathe before asking.

"How about I make it up to you?"

"Um…what do you have in mind?"

"To say sorry I take you do dinner"

She bit her lip but her mind was reeling. He was falling right into her hands. A smile came to her face as her eyes twinkled. Blue rose was going to have some fun. She nodded her head and said

"I love that Edward"

"You would?"

"Yes of course, when?"

"Um…tomorrow night"

"Yes that fine with me"

"Well give me your number, and I can call you with the details"

She pulled out a pen from her pocket took his hand and wrote her number. She looked up at him and winked. A fluster look came to his face as she said

"Call me anytime"

As she turned she saw the her sketch laying by Edward. Her eyes open wide as she went to reach for it. Edward beat her to it.

He turned it over and looked at it, it was only a sketch of a floor plan. He handled it to her and smiled

"Nice drawing"

"Thanks"

"What is it for?"

"Oh, um Alice thinking about expanding her business and she asked me to look around. This building seem to have what she looking for. Since she couldn't come I decided to stretch it out for her"

"That nice…what…" he began to say, when a vibration was heard

His damn pager was going off again. Damn whoever it was! As he watched her place the paper in her pocket and smiled at him. He could be late to the office right? Wrong because the pager went off again. Oh! Someone was going to pay big time for this. As he looked up and said

"I have to run…I'm sorry. I'll call you"

She saluted him before saying

"I'm been waiting Officer"

She turned on her heels and walked into the coffee shop. He watched how her body sway from side to side. She was going to be the death of him. As he shook his head and walked back to the office. Whoever was beeping him better have a damn good reason in doing so.

She watched him walked away and a smirk enter her face. That was a close call but she managed to clear it up quickly. She smiled like those gems where going to be hers so will Edward Cullen…she always got what she wanted, even if she was only going to use him.
