Chapter 22- The Flowers

Walking into the office, I had the biggest shit-eating grin you've ever seen in your life. It totally and completely worked. The look on his face when he saw me get out of the pool was priceless.

"What has got you smiling like that Bella?" Emily asked clearly intrigued.

And because I was so happy I told her everything; from kissing Edward in his office to swimming in the pool. She was practically falling over the desk from laughing when I described his face.

"God Bella, you are something." She giggled.

"I know, but I may be getting on, he'll be here soon. If there's any calls be sure to send them through," I said remaining a little bit professional.

"Only if you let me help with your next phase in operation GEB," she bargained.

"Absolutely," I agreed. "Actually there is something..."

It was 7:20 and the phone rang while I was in the middle of my plan.

"Good Morning, Mr Cullen's office. How may I help you?" I asked sweetly.

"Is he there yet?" Alice giggled on the other end.

"No but oh my god, it worked perfectly," I gushed and then told her everything that happened. Just as I finished the phone buzzed again.

"Hold on Alice, Emily's calling." I pressed hold and then number 2 for Emily's line. "Yes?"

"He's here," she whispered.

"Excellent. Make sure to bring them in, in about five minutes," I grinned.

"Sure thing Bells."

I quickly hung up and pressed Alice's line as he walked in the door.

"Oh Matt stop," I giggled into the receiver.

"He's here isn't he?" Alice asked.

"Yeah of course I do," I said semi answering her question.

I looked up to see Edward frozen in front of me.

Just then the door opened and Emily walked in with a huge bunch of freesias.

"Bella, these came for you," she smiled evilly then placed the flowers on my desk and left.

"Matthew, did you send me flowers?" I pretend scolded to the pretend Matt AKA Alice who at the minute was laughing hysterically.

"No...then who are they from?" I asked confused.

I lifted the card out of the flowers. "It says I had a good time last week. Love Jake and it has two kisses and two hugs," I finished the show with a shrug.

"Matt, yeah I went out with Jake, what's it to ya?I told you I wasn't looking for anything serious and I definately said we weren't the sex was great but you know what Jake's far nicer than you ever WERE!" I screamed to Alice. "It's over asshole." I then slammed the phone down and looked up at a very shocked Edward.

"Oh my gosh, I'm soo sorry Edward that you had to hear that. You know the way guys are...I mean you are one," and then I laughed.

"Yes well...uh...I have to get to work." He scurried into his office and slammed the door behind him.

I grinned evilly to myself. Yeah this was working just fine.
