COOK WANTED
Thursday
With the morning rush of breakfast out of the way and Jessica arriving soon, I quickly tidied the kitchen and noted in the diary my thoughts for the evening meal. Edward was due to be at work for nine o'clock this evening. He would be working until late Saturday morning.
I heard the front door open and a cheerful voice greet me. "Good morning, Bella." Charlie stood at the kitchen doorway brandishing a manila envelope and a concertina file in his hand.
"Alice sent me over with these for you. She said that you needed to have these now as one of the potential clients rang today with an emergency. Apparently all the details are in the file. Alice said that she was sure you could salvage the situation." He looked at me apologetically.
I smiled at him. "Don't worry, Charlie, I won't shoot the messenger!" I assured him.
Charlie handed me the enveloped and the file and I set them to one side on the breakfast bar. "Do you have time for a coffee, Charlie?" I asked getting out a cup for him anyway.
"Oh, yes please I have about half an hour before I have to go across town to collect some supplies for Mrs Cullen." He said sitting down and making himself comfortable.
"So, how are things going for you, Bella? It looks like you're going to be kept busy." He commented, tapping the envelope and file.
"That may be an understatement Charlie. I've volunteered to help Alice as much as I possibly can. I'll try and do my best and not let her down. It'll take getting used to dealing with people face to face rather than worrying about cooking all day." I handed him his coffee and gestured toward to cream and sugar.
Charlie nodded thoughtfully in agreement. "You'll be just fine, Bella. I doubt that Alice would've taken you on if she didn't think you could handle the job." He said sincerely.
"Yep, I suppose you're right. All I need to do is convince myself." I stated, sitting down and perused the piece of paper I'd taken out of the envelope.
The list consisted of five people, with details of their requirements. These were typed up so were obviously pending. The name and details of the sixth client were hastily written down in pen. The only details for this client, was a surname and contact number. I pushed the piece of paper to one side and decided to wait until Charlie had gone before I acted on it.
Edward joined us in the kitchen, saying a friendly hello to Charlie and planting a chaste kiss on my forehead as he reached for the coffee pot and filled a cup for himself. We had become so comfortable with displays of affection in front of the family that Edward just acted on impulse and really didn't think about the fact that Charlie was in the same room. Charlie of course said nothing. He was a man who understood what the word discretion meant and lived by it everyday. This was probably why he had been such a loyal employee of the Cullens for such a long time.
Charlie shot me a slight look of surprise and then in the same breath, a small smile came to his lips. I'm sure he sensed how happy and relaxed Edward was.
Charlie finished his coffee and wished us well, saying that he would see us again on Sunday. I sat for a moment trying to work out what was special about this coming Sunday. Mother's Day idiot! I'd have to organise some flowers to be delivered to my mother in good time before they made the trip to visit my grandmother.
"What's up, Bella?" Edward asked as I stared into my coffee cup trying to think of a florist shop close by to contact.
"It's Mother's Day this Sunday. I haven't arranged anything to send to my mom. Does Alice know of any good florists? Stupid question!" I reached for the file and scanned through it. "There should be something in this file." He looked at me and smiled knowingly.
"Ah here we are!" I said in triumph.
Edward pointed to the name. "I can recommend them. That's where I ordered your flowers from. Here let me." He said, taking out his phone from his jeans pocket and punching in the number.
"What are you doing Ed…" I began but he cut me off by putting his index finger against my lips.
"Hello? Yes, I'd like to place an order for a mixed…" (he raised his eyebrows at me as an unspoken question) I nodded. "Bunch please. My name is Edward Cullen. Please charge it to the Cullen account. I'll pass you over to Miss Swan who will give you the details. Thank you." He handed the phone to me. I looked at him for a moment wanting to object to this arrangement but realised that it would just be futile.
I gave the address and message to accompany the flowers to the Florist, who told me that the flowers would be sent out first thing Friday morning, from a florist shop in Phoenix. Perfect, as mom and dad would be on the road by Friday evening. I shut the phone and handed it back to Edward. He sat there with a grin on his face.
"See problem solved. Now you can relax. Right what else needs to be done this morning?" He reached forward from where he was sitting and took my hands in his and kissed my palms just at the moment when Jessica walked into the kitchen.
Edward didn't let go of my hands. I tried to act calm and cool. "Hi, Jessica. Would you like a coffee before you start?" I could feel my cheeks blush as she looked at my hands in his.
She seemed more embarrassed than I was. Edward just turned his head slightly towards her and gave a nod in her direction, "Morning Jessica." He said simply and immediately turned his focus back to me.
"Oh, Hi, Bella. Edward. Um, no thanks. I'll have one later on my lunch break. I'll go and make a start." She gave me an awkward smile, not looking at Edward and headed for the cupboard under the stairs. There's nothing I can do about it now. The secret's out!
I reached for the house phone to take my mind off Jessica and concentrate on more important matters. With Alice's list in front of me I dialled the number. "Good morning. Thompson residence." A man's voice answered at the other end.
"Good morning. My name is Miss Swan. I'm speaking on behalf of Mrs Whitlock. I'd like to speak to Mrs Thompson please.
"Yes, certainly, one moment please." There was silence for a minute.
"Hello, this is Mrs Thompson." Her voice was steady and business like.
"Hello, Mrs Thompson. My name is Miss Swan. Mrs Whitlock gave me your number. I understand you have a problem that you need help with?"
There was a deep intake of breath at the other end of the phone. Her voice changed from one that was in control to one of panic. "Oh, yes. Thank goodness you've called today! My daughter is getting married in four weeks time. The wedding cake is a complete disaster. My daughter hasn't stopped crying about for the last two days. Mrs Whitlock assured me that she would be able to get someone to save the day. I take it you are that person?"
"Yes, indeed, Mrs Thompson. What needs to be done?" I answered calmly.
"Well, we really need to get together and sort out what can be done in the time we have. Are you available tomorrow?" She seemed to find her business like tone again.
"Um, yes. I can be with you anytime after nine o'clock." I replied.
"Great! Nine o'clock it is." She proceeded to give me the address. I wrote it down putting a question mark next to the address. I showed Edward. He smiled and took the piece of paper and wrote. 'Charlie' in large letters underneath the question mark. I smiled.
"Right, I'll see you in the morning Mrs Thompson." And put the phone down.
I turned to Edward and flung my arms around his neck. "What would I do without you?"
"Oh, I think you would manage! You seemed to handle that well enough. Alice is going to be very impressed with you, my love." He replied, chuckling to himself.
He quickly wrote down Charlie's number and I rang it immediately. I arranged with Charlie for him to collect me and recited the details of the address. Apparently it was the other side of the city. He was only too happy to do this.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I turned my attention to tonight's meal. I was going to roast some chicken portions that I had already taken out of the freezer first thing in the morning and cook roasted vegetables as an accompaniment. The dessert was easy enough, mixed fruit parcels and for the starter, Asparagus drenched in tarragon butter.
"I need to get a few things for the meal. Would you like to accompany me to the shop?" I asked Edward, writing down a quick list.
"Indeed I would. I could do with getting some fresh air. How about we go and grab some lunch while we're out?" He asked, fetching our jackets from the hallway.
"Great idea! I'll leave Jessica a note for her to help herself to something from the fridge." I scribbled down a note and left it by the coffee pot.
Within minutes we were out of the door and walking toward the store. I chose the items I needed and chatted for a few minutes to the store owner. I made sure to thank him for his close attention to the quality of the orders I made and the speed at which they were delivered. It helps to maintain a good relationship with those you rely on!
With the shopping done, Edward took me to a small café a few blocks further down the road and we stopped and had a light lunch and shared a small bottle of wine.
About an hour later we made our way back to the house as it was time to prepare the evening meal. Jessica had left a note for me by the coffee pot.
'Bella, I just wanted to wish you all the best. You both look very happy. I'm spending the weekend with James again! Hope we can catch up on Tuesday. Jess.'
I smiled at the note. She may the city's biggest gossip but she seems to have got over the shock. Maybe she won't tell anyone just yet!
I set Edward to work by getting him to peel the vegetables and part boiling them ready for roasting. We chatted as we worked. He shared with me some of the funnier things that happened at work recently. It seemed to me that a lot of their spare time was devoted to playing jokes on each other, presumably to help ease the tension after the more demanding times of the job.
I placed the chicken in the oven to start cooking and prepared another roasting tin for the vegetables. I also took out the necessary ingredients to make a bread sauce. This I could make a little later. I made the pastry for the dessert and placed it in the fridge to keep cool and pealed and chopped the fruit and gently cooked it adding a little brown sugar and cinnamon for flavour. I then put the almost cooked fruit into a bowl to cool down.
We took a short break from cooking and Edward made two cups of tea and we sat down at the breakfast bar.
"Bella have you told your parents about us yet?" He asked, his eyes locked on mine, waiting for the answer.
"Yes I have." I replied. I will have to chose my words carefully now.
"And?" He asked looking more anxious.
"Well, my mom got a little panicked about the idea of me dating you. She thinks it's going to make life complicated for me." I told him the truth. That was the only thing I could do.
"How so?" His look was more puzzled than annoyed.
"Well, I work for you. Her argument is that if things go wrong with us, then I would have to leave and look for a new job." I answered.
"What would go wrong with us?" He asked with a look of shock on his face.
"She is a realist, Edward. Things do go wrong in relationships, don't they?" His face seemed to relax at my words.
"Well, yes. But surely when you really love a person then any problems can be sorted out." He answered.
"She just thinks it's all a bit sudden, Edward. I'm their only child, remember. I'm still her little girl in her mind. I don't suppose she'll think I'm a grown up until I reach at least fifty and have brought up children of my own!" I chuckled.
"I can just imagine you with children, Bella. You'd make a wonderful mother." He said quietly and leaned forward kissing my mouth. I lost my train of thought for a moment as his scent swirled around my head. I shut my eyes and automatically held his face to mine to make the kiss last a little longer.
"When is it you're going to see your parents next?" He asked as he pulled away from me smiling.
"Um. Oh, next weekend." I replied, giving my head a little shake to bring me back to earth.
"That's a pity. I would have come with you but I have to work that weekend. I'll still ring you though." He said.
"You had better, mister. I can't stay away from you and not hear you voice at least once a day. I'll make it up to you when I get back, I promise." I answered looking up at him from beneath my lashes. Oh, you are so naughty, Bella!
"Umm, I like the sound of that. I just wish I didn't have to go to work tonight." He answered, taking my hand and kissing the palm gently. It made my spine tingle. I wish you didn't have to go to work as well!
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Edward. I'm already looking forward to Saturday." I noticed the time on his watch. I stood up and moved over to him and whispered in his ear. "In the meantime I need to get the dinner finished. Everyone will be home I one hour." He let out a long sigh and reluctantly let me go.
I washed and prepared the Asparagus and left them in the colander to drain and made the tarragon butter. I then checked on the chicken and vegetables. Both were cooking very well. It was time to make the bread sauce and the gravy. Edward stayed at the breakfast bar, watching me work. A sensible choice as I didn't need any distractions just at the moment.
I then carefully rolled out the pastry and cut a dozen squares and laid them out on two greased baking trays. As I was washing my hands, Alice and Jasper arrived home. They stood at the kitchen doorway, not saying a word. I looked over to Edward, wondering what to do next. He seemed a little lost as well. I quickly took my apron off and went over to Alice and gave her a hug.
"Is everything, okay, Alice? Jasper? One of you please say something!" I tried to keep my voice steady but was not having much success.
Edward by this time was standing behind me with his arms on my shoulders. "Come on, you two. How was the doctor's appointment?" He looked at Alice and then over to Jasper. They seemed to be in shock.
"Alice, please tell me. Is everything alright?" I asked anxiously, holding Alice's hands in mine.
She finally focused her eyes on mine and then over to Edward. "Yes, everything is fine." She replied in a monotone voice. "We're all okay." She added.
"Then, why the silence, Alice?" Edward sounded anxious by this time too.
"Well, it's… we're going to…" Alice suddenly stopped.
"Have twins!" Jasper finished Alice's sentence and turned to smile at us.
"Twins!" Edward and I exclaimed together.
Finally, Jasper and Alice smiled at each other. "Yes, twins." Alice repeated. "We're going to be having twins! It's going to be a boy and a girl. We just had to find out now!" She added. Jasper pulled Alice into his arms and tears of joy began to spill from his eyes.
I flung my arms around them both. "Congratulations! This is just wonderful! Come and sit down Alice." I said dragging them both to the couch. "I'll go and make you both a cup of tea." I couldn't imagine how shocked they felt. I knew that my own head was spinning from the news. I quickly made the tea, checking on the food before I took the cups out to them. Edward sat opposite them in a chair and pulled me onto his lap after I put the cups on the coffee table.
We all sat for a time just looking at each other and smiling. I heard the front door open and close and then deciphered that it was Esme and Carlisle that had arrived home. I quickly got up from Edward's lap and made my way to the hallway.
"Hi, Esme, Carlisle. You're needed in the lounge. Alice and Jasper are back from the Doctor's appointment. They have something to tell you." I instructed them. They headed for the lounge without any hesitation.
I went back to the kitchen to put a pot of coffee on and put the Asparagus under the grill to cook while I laid the table.
The lounge was still silent even though Esme and Carlisle had been given the news. It seemed that they were also in shock. I quickly told everyone that the starter would be ready in a few minutes. In silence they made their way to the table. Finally Rosalie and Emmett arrived home. I greeted them and gestured to the dinner table. They looked at me a little bemused but went and sat down.
As I finished plating up the starter and poured the tarragon butter into a dish, Alice announced the news to the family as a whole. This time it was just Rosalie and Emmett who were speechless. Everyone else had now had time to process the news and chatted animatedly about everything to do with the new additions to the family.
I placed the starter on the table and Esme began to serve each person. I took my plate away to indicate that I needed to be in the kitchen for a little while. I turned my attention to the dessert after placing all the roasted vegetables and chicken in serving dishes and placing them under the heat lamps along with the gravy and bread sauce, until everyone had finished their starters.
I quickly filled each square of puff pastry with the mixed fruit filling and brought together each corner of the pastry to make parcels. I brushed each parcel with a little milk and egg mixture and sprinkled a little sugar over them and let them rest while I cleared the dinning table. I took out the main course and left Esme to serve while I put the fruit parcels into oven. I had about twenty minutes before I needed to take the dessert out of the oven.
I returned to the table to eat with the family. Emmett and Rosalie had by this time recovered from the news. Every so often Emmett looked over to Alice and shook his head in disbelief. Finally I was able to tell Alice that I'd rung Mrs Thompson and arranged a meeting with her in the morning. She was happy that I had contacted her so promptly and wished me well with the meeting.
I took out some empty plates with me when I went to take out the dessert from the oven. I placed a scoop of ice cream and a fruit parcel in dish and took them out to the table, returning with the rest of the dirty plates and cutlery. The evening meal had now come to an end. I cleared the table and Edward put on a fresh pot of coffee before going upstairs to change and get ready to go to work. He had a quick cup of coffee and wished everyone a good night, giving Alice an extra kiss on the cheek.
I walked him to the door to say goodbye.
"I'll see you Saturday, Bella. I'll ring you tomorrow lunch time to see how the meeting went. I love you." We kissed and held each other tightly.
"I love you too, Edward. Take care." I said as he walked to his car and drove away.
Friday
The excitement of the news was still palpable in the house. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Nothing was going to spoil anyone's mood today. Alice reminded me to wear something 'suitable' for the meeting with Mrs Thompson and wished me well as she went to head off to the Boutique. We would all be staying at the city house this weekend as we were going out to eat at a Seattle restaurant for Mother's Day.
I made my way upstairs once the kitchen was tidy. I showered and picked out the clothes for the meeting. A navy pencil skirt that hugged my figure in all the right places, a crisp white blouse, not too low at the front and a pair of black shoes that I would definitely have to take care walking in. I dried my hair and platted it at the back and got dressed.
Charlie was already waiting for me in the kitchen when I made my way downstairs to collect the file and a note book and pen.
He smiled at me and gave me a nod of approval. "Are you ready, Bella? You're looking very business like. You'll be just fine today." He reassured me and led me to the car.
We arrived at the house just a little before nine o'clock. Charlie opened the passenger door for me. The front door opened as I walked up the steps and I was greeted by the maid. She ushered me into the lounge and went to announce my arrival to Mrs Thompson. I set the file on the coffee table and walked toward the French doors at the other end of the room. The garden was immaculate and very colourful. No doubt it had been used for many parties and gatherings over the years.
Mrs Thompson entered the room. "Ah, Miss Swan!" She walked over to me and shook my hand vigorously. "You don't know how relieved I am that you're here. You were highly recommend to me by Mrs Whitlock. She assured me that you would be able to save the day!" She gestured for me to sit on the couch.
She wore a beautiful Chanel suit in black and white, with Chanel earrings and necklace. Her hair was styled in the latest bob cut and a lovely soft honey colour. I had trouble imagining her in a kitchen up to her elbows in flour. Everything about her shouted 'business woman' right down to her sharp blue eyes as they scanned over my outfit.
She began to talk about the disastrous wedding cake that would now be 'destined for the city dump'. I wrote down notes of what the requirements were.
"I trust this will not be a problem for you, Miss Swan?" She asked as if it were a challenge. She handed over a picture of the cake that was required.
I looked at the picture. No problem. This will be so easy. "No, not at all. I'll contact the bakery this morning and place the order for a new cake. As it's a sponge cake, it will certainly be ready for you two days before the wedding. Would you like me arrange the delivery or will your wedding planner be collecting it?" I asked and waited for the answer.
Mrs Thompson seemed to hesitate. "I'll have to get back to you about that. The previous wedding planner is no longer doing the job for us. I'm waiting for the new wedding planner to contact me this morning so that we can meet up to finalise things." She answered, smiling at me. "Well, thank you so much for contacting me so quickly. You really have put my mind at ease about the cake." She added, reaching out her hand for me to shake. The meeting was over.
Once the front door was closed behind me I took in a deep breath. Charlie opened the car door for me and I sat for a moment wondering what would be the next best move.
I rang the bakery and Mr Newton answered. "Hello, it's Miss Swan speaking. I wondered if it would be okay for me drop by, if you're not too busy. I have an order for a wedding cake and would like to discuss the details with you."
"That's absolutely fine. I'll see you shortly." He answered.
"Charlie, would you take me over to the Newton Bakery? I don't think I'll be very long. Are you able to wait for me?" I asked hoping the answer would be yes.
"I'm all yours today, Bella, so to speak. You take as long as you like." He answered setting the car in motion. We arrived at the bakery some twenty minutes later. Mr Newton greeted me as the car pulled up in the car park. He opened the car door for me and led me to his office.
"It's good to see you, Miss Swan. Now how can I help?" He gestured for me to take a seat as he sat behind his desk. I gave him the details of the cake and showed him the picture. "No problem, I'll get David onto this first thing Monday morning. How long do you think it will take for you to decorate?" he added.
"I can make a start on the flowers in my own kitchen, so I suppose I'll need, say two days maybe three, to add them to the cake and do the finishing touches. If the cake is already iced, oh, fondant icing please, that will save me a lot of time." I looked up from my notes and waited for a reply.
Mr Newton seemed to be staring at me. I looked at him. "Mr Newton?" I asked breaking him out of his revere.
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss Swan" He gave me a small smile. "Yes. The cake will be ready for you to finish in three and a half weeks time. "If you need to use any facilities here in the meantime please don't hesitate to ask. I'll keep in contact, Miss Swan. It's a pleasure doing business with you." He stood up and made his way around his desk, holding out his hand to shake mine.
"Thank you Mr Newton." I said, as I shook his hand.
"Please, call me Mike. It looks like we'll be working together on a few more projects from what I can tell about your capabilities. I'm sure at lot of orders are going to come your way when Mrs Thompson let's her circle of friends know how talented you are." He smiled, putting me at ease. I hadn't noticed before but he actually had a very warm smile. His blue eyes sparkled as he spoke. I noticed that he raked his fingers through his short blonde hair a few times when he spoke to me. I suspected that he might be a little nervous in my company but was not sure why.
"Okay, Mike. Please call me Bella." I replied. "I'd better go now and let Mrs Whitlock know about the arrangements, just to keep her up-to-date." I added.
"Yes, of course, Bella. I'll speak to you soon." He finally released my hand. I collected up my file and note pad and Mike showed me to the entrance door. He stood and watched as Charlie held the car door for me. Mike gave me a small wave as I settled myself in the back seat and he made his way back into the building.
"Would you take me to the Boutique please, Charlie? I need to let Alice know about the meetings this morning." I asked.
"Of course, Bella! She'll be very pleased to see you, I'm sure." He replied and set the car in motion. Some time later we arrived at the Boutique. Charlie helped me out of the car and I made my way in to see Alice. She was busy helping a customer decided on a dress. By the look on Alice's face she had had enough. She quickly looked over to me and smiled. She nodded to Heidi in some secret unspoken code and Heidi immediately brought over a cup of coffee for me and motioned for me to sit down.
Five minutes later and my coffee finished, Alice was finally handing the chosen dress to Terri for her to wrap up.
Alice walked over to me and sat down on the chair next to me. "I'm so glad to see you Bella. It's been such a long day so far. No-one seems to know what they want and they won't take my advice. Can you imagine how frustrating that is for me, Bella?" She looked at me and sighed.
"Yes, Alice I think I can. You don't have to work in the shop all day today do you? Don't forget you're going out tonight." I stated.
"You're right! I don't have to be here. The girls are quite capable of handling things on their own this afternoon and locking up later. I'll go and tell them that I'm taking the rest of the day off. You can help me to get ready for this meal tonight. It'll be good to spend some time together." She said and went to talk to Terri and Heidi and then collected her purse and jacket from the back room. She walked back over to me and linked her arm in mine as we walked out to the car. Charlie was holding open the back door. "Hi, Charlie! Can you please take us home?" Charlie nodded.
Not half an hour later we were home and sitting at the breakfast bar. I made us a cup of tea and a couple of sandwiches. I told Alice about the meetings in the morning and she congratulated me on the way I handled things. "I just knew you were the right person for this job. Mrs Thompson has quite a large social circle. I know mom has worked on her country house a couple of times. She has good connections. Your cakes will be famous in no time in Seattle, Bella." She said confidently, patting my knee.
I helped Alice decided on the outfit for the evening, not that I actually thought she needed my help. I think she was trying to teach me how to dress for different occasions.
"What are you going to wear on Sunday, Bella?" She asked. "You know that either dress would be perfect for the occasion, don't you?" She added with a knowing smile.
"Don't worry Alice, I can't go wrong. You chose both of them for me, remember?" I chuckled.
With her outfit chosen, she disappeared to the bathroom for some 'Alice pampering time'.
My phone rang. I kicked my shoes off and ran down to the kitchen. I picked it up just in time. It was Edward. "Hi, how did things go this morning? A success I take it?"
"Hi, Edward, yes, a complete success. Everyone is happy and apparently it may mean that I will have more work in the future. So, how are things with you?" I asked.
"It's quiet. The ICU is full but under control. I miss you, Bella." He said in almost a whisper.
"Oh, Edward, I miss you too. You'll be home tomorrow and I'll be waiting for you." I sighed down the phone.
"Umm. I'd better go now before I embarrass myself. Sleep well tonight, Bella. I love you." He said in his sexy voice.
"'Bye, Edward. I hope you get some sleep today. I love you too." I replied. I shut my phone placing it back on the counter top.
I walked over to the lounge and got comfortable on the couch and watched a little television until Alice came downstairs looking absolutely radiant. She joined me on the couch and we chatted easily until Jasper arrived home, followed by the rest of the family. Soon Jasper was ready and he and Alice left to go to dinner.
Esme and Carlisle insisted on taking me with them to dinner at their usual restaurant. I wasn't able to put up much of an argument when they said that they had already booked an extra seat. We all made our way to our respective bedrooms to get changed for the evening.
I took advantage of the fact that I had two very pretty dresses that needed to be worn. I picked out the purple, ditsy print dress and took my hair out of the plait, brushing through it to let it fall in large waves. I put on a little makeup and put on the shoes that I had worn today. They seemed to go quite well with the dress and were actually becoming quite comfortable. I made my way downstairs carefully. Carlisle kindly said how pretty I looked and that Edward had made a very good choice. I blushed furiously for the first time in days. Just when I thought I had it under control! Everyone seemed to be highly amused.
We went to the restaurant in Carlisle's car with the ladies seated on the back seat.
I was slightly in awe of the amount of people I was introduced to. The restaurant seemed to be much more of a social networking club than a place to eat. The food was really good, as I had expected. I asked the waiter a couple of questions about one of the dishes and discovered that the vegetables had been ordered from the same grocery shop that I got my supplies from.
Three hours later we were back home and making our way up to bed. I undressed and spread myself out in Edward's bed imagining him lying next to me. There was less than twenty four hours left before he would be home again.
