EPOV

What the hell have I gotten myself into? I'm currently sitting in my car, outside Whole Foods debating on actually going in to meet Bella or just starting my car and going back home.

"Ugh!" I scream hitting my steering wheel for probably the hundredth time in the last half hour. Yes I was that early. What the hell was I thinking? Agreeing to something like this!

That guy, Jacob I think, his words did hurt but it's not like I haven't heard them before. I mean really, with my size and being in a gym where basically everyone looks like they belong in a catalogue, obviously I stood out. With that being said, it was only a matter of time before someone said something either behind my back or in front of me. I just didn't expect to hear it so soon.

What really shocked me is the fact that Bella came after me. I don't know what her story is yet but I'm going to find out. There's never been anyone besides my parents who cared about how I was doing. It was such a small and simple gesture but it spoke worlds of who Bella was as a person.

I'm glad I got her as a trainer verses someone like Jacob. I probably would've been out of there on the first day. I'm pulled from my thoughts as a knock on the window scares the shit out of me. I jumped and looked to my left to be met with gorgeous big brown eyes and a big smile.

This woman was absolutely stunning. There must have been a mistake when I thought I heard insecurity coming from her yesterday. No way someone this beautiful would have anything at all to be insecure about. I couldn't help but smile back at her. I shut my car off and got out.

I looked down at Bella, "Good afternoon." I say while running my hand through my hair. It's a really bad nervous habit I have. As if my hair could actually stay tamed though, running my hands through does no help either.

"I'll say!" she huffs and rolls her eyes then smiles back at me. I can't help but return the smile back to her as well. "Well then, let's get to it huh?" she nods toward the store and I nod in response back.

As I follow her through the parking lot I can't help myself and before I know it, I'm staring at her ass. My eyes go wide and I look away. Shit. If I thought her yoga pants made her ass look great, it's got nothing on her skinny jeans.

"Edward?" she calls. I shake my head.

"Where'd you just go?" she looks at me with a questioning look. I shrug, "Donno." I look behind her and take in my surroundings. I've never been in here before to be honest. It's basically what I thought it would look like.

No processed foods anywhere. Organic this organic that. I can't help but cringe thinking about the diet she's about to put me on.

"Well let's get to it huh? Shouldn't be too much trouble to find everything." I hear Bella say as she moves to get a shopping cart. I can't help but feel like people are staring at me. I turn around a little and look to my right and I see two guys talking amongst themselves while pointing at Bella then looking back at me.

"She can't seriously be with that guy?" one said. "No way dude, he must be related to her or something." the other responded. I felt like running out of the store.

Just as I made up my mind to book it out of there, Bella came back with the cart. "Let's get started huh?" she smiled. God her smile was breathtaking. I gestured with my hand for her to go ahead and I followed.
We headed down the dry foods first. She started putting things in the cart and giving me information about the usefulness of things. Honestly I had no idea what she was talking about. Whole wheat this, organic that, fatty acids this, fresh that. My head was starting to spin with all this new information.

Bella looked back at me and giggled. I looked up at her and gave her a shy smile. "Not lost with all the information are you?" she smiled.

I shrugged, "Sorta, I mean it's a lot to take in. Things I've never tried before, I guess I'll have to get used to it." I pulled my eyebrows in together.

She laughed again. God her laugh was intoxicating. "It's not all that much, don't worry." She covered her mouth with her hand and laughed again.

"Hey gorgeous girl." I turned the same time Bella did. The guy was tall and lean. He looked in shape with sandy blonde hair. I looked down at Bella and her face was expressionless, she had stopped laughing.

If I didn't look down when I did I probably would have missed it but I'm fairly sure I saw recognition in her features.

"Can I help you?" Bella said shyly and smiled. I wonder if she knows him. I looked toward the guy and back at her. He didn't seem to know her but she did him.

He took a few steps toward us and looking at me and nodding then back at Bella. "I'm James, and you are?" he smiled at her again.

I'm Edward Cullen, and I'm invisible again.


A/N: So I decided to write BPOV for next chapter and get her take on the shopping experience then we probably the small time jump. Any guesses on James?

Until Next Time!
