"So after dinner I was thinking we could catch a movie?"

"I only agreed to dinner Jake, lets just see how it goes"

"Can't blame a guy for trying"

Jake took me to an Italian restaurant a few blocks from the bar so we were able to walk and get to know each other before dinner. It turned out that he was from La Push near Forks and that his dad and my dad used to fish together.

"I can't believe I didn't catch the connection sooner. I should have recognised your dad that day of the party but to be honest, my focus was elsewhere. You make quite the entrance"

I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks and was a little uncomfortable with the attention. I didn't know what to say and so I just shrugged and apologised again for my clumsiness that day.

"It wasn't your clumsiness that got my attention Bella. In fact it was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going. I was too busy looking at you" he stopped us in our tracks as he finished speaking and took me by the hand but I was quick to pull it back.

"Please don't say things like that to me Jake"

"Why not Bella? It's true you are so pretty and you light up any room you enter" His face broke out in a beautiful smile that was so genuine.

I had to nip this in the bud and quick. I didn't want to hurt Jake's feelings but it would be wrong to lead him on when I knew I had no romantic feelings for him.

"Jake, I really like spending time with you but" before I could say anything else Jake let out a humorless laugh.

"I knew it, it's him isn't it? You like that guy"

"What guy?"

"Boss man back at the bar, That was him you were talking to wasn't it?"

"Yes, I mean no... I mean yes it was Mr Cullen but no I don't like him, well yes I do like him but not like that."

"Geez Bella, make up your mind. God I am so stupid I should have made my move on Wednesday before you met the guy. Then at least I would have had a shot"

"That's not strictly true, see I kind of met him a while back. Look Jake I do want you as a friend I mean it"

"Yeah, yeah. Well why don't we go grab dinner then friend but we are so going dutch"

With all the awkwardness out of the way, dinner went really well. I told Jake about how my marriage ended and how I shut down rather than dealing with it until I met Edward. I also told him that I did have feelings for Edward but they all went out the window when I met his other half "Mr Cullen".

Jake told me about growing up on the "Res" as he called it and his family. He had 2 older sisters, Rebecca and Emily, and a little brother Seth. Billy, his dad, raised them after his mum was killed by a drunk driver 12 years ago, apparently Billy fell out with Charlie because they didn't catch the guy.

"So Seth is coming up next weekend to visit, he is a pain in the ass but I love him"

"What age is he?"

"14, but he thinks he is so mature and likes to act like he's the shit if you know what I mean"

I laughed at that last comment, I could just imagine a mini Jake.

"So he takes after his brother"

"Ouch, that hurt Bella. So what are you gonna do about dinner on Sunday"

"Well we agreed to start out as Employer and Employee and take it from there but is it normal to have dinner at your boss' house?"

"Why don't you treat him as Edward on Sunday and then as Mr Cullen again on Monday"

"That won't work, I like Edward and I don't want to complicate things with Mr Cullen"

"Then why not just go with the flow and don't over think it"

Jake was right, why over think, I mean why worry when I don't have to.

"Now you try Hannah"

It was Saturday morning and I was giving Hannah her first piano lesson, she was a natural even with one hand and had already picked up Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

"Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are." She stopped playing and turned to me on the piano bench.

"Can I play dis for Bella tomorrow daddy?"

"Sure chicken but only if you practice some more"

"I will daddy I pinky pwomise"

I finished up with the lesson an hour later and went to find mom in the kitchen. She was baking the pies for tomorrows dessert.

"Nannie can I help?"

"Sure pumpkin, Edward get her apron from the drawer and the little stool from the cupboard"

In the few weeks she had been here, Hannah had come to love helping my mom in the kitchen and so mom had gotten her a step so she could reach the counter, her own apron that read 'Daddy's Little Cook', which I loved, and all her own baking utensils.

I got Hannah set up with my mom and stood back and watched as she helped by lining the pie dishes with her good hand. I spent the afternoon helping my mom and Hannah, baking and ended up covered in flour and in bad need of a shower.

"Mom, can you keep an eye on Hannah while I get cleaned up"

"Sure thing baby boy"

"Ha ha you called daddy a baby nannie"

"That's because he is my baby, no matter how big he gets and you will always be your daddy's little girl"

I left my mom and Hannah in the kitchen and went up to my room to get cleaned up. I was nervous about tomorrow, I know that Bella and I had agreed to start afresh but I wanted to be more than her boss. I planned to try and become her friend and spending time outside of the office would let her see me as Edward again and not Mr Cullen.

I let the hot water of the shower wash away the tension in my muscles and relax me. I thought back to the night I first met Bella and how broken she seemed and then thought of the strong confident woman who called me an 'Ungrateful Prick' a few days ago, god she was sexy when she was angry, I wonder what she looks like wearing nothing but that scowl. Before I could let my mind go further into the gutter I heard a knock at the door.

"Daddy hurry up I wanna pwactice more"

After getting dried and dressed I spent the rest of the evening at the piano with Hannah, which helped keep my mind off of tomorrow.

"Everyone is arriving at 1pm and we can have dinner about 2pm so we have time for drinks before"

My mom was in full planning mode while Jazz, Dad and me sat watching Peter Pan with Hannah. She had insisted in watching the film before everyone arrived because it reminded her of Bella, why I don't know. Dad was engrossed in it though while Hannah sat on his knee giving him the full in movie commentary.

"So is Alice joining us?"

"Yep and I can't wait for mom and dad to meet her properly, I know they are going to love her."

"Did she say anything about Bella's date with this Jake guy?"

"No go bro, she is loyal to Bella. If you want to know about it then you will have to ask her yourself."

"Come on Jazz, give me something"

"You really like her don't you Ed?"

"Yeah and I don't know how to handle it. What do I say to her, how do I act?"

"Just be yourself Edward, didn't you say that her ex was a lying sac of shit that pretended to be something he wasn't?"

"You're right Jazz, honesty is the best policy" The door bell went just then.

"You can start by getting the door bro."

I jumped up off the couch and hurried to the door. Mom had beaten me to it though and was standing frozen with the door open and just as I made my way to see who was there, I heard a voice that chilled me to the bone.

"WHERE IS MY BABY GIRL?"

So sorry for leaving it here and the short chap but if I continued we would be here all night. I promise to make up for it and try and update during the week.

Please review and let me know what you think.
