Chapter 38

Edward's POV

I was sitting at Starbucks waiting for my Bella when I caught her walking towards me, I could not help but smile she looked so beautiful. I could tell my sister had taken her shopping the suit she was dressed in was so Alice. It was a deep blue and just accented her figure so nicely. I wanted to run up, to her and take her into my arms, but I told myself to be good. She smiled at me this was a good sign. As she got closer to me, I stood to great her.

"Ms Bella, good morning" I said to her not knowing how she would react if I called her just Bella.

"Edward, good morning are you ready to grab a cup of coffee and start our day." She said with a smile on her face. I could not believe she called me just Edward this was truly going to be a good day.

"I am ready if you are and may I call you Bella?" I asked as we started off towards the door to enter the store.

"Yes you my call me Bella if that makes you happy." She told me in a teasing tone to her voice that I have never heard before.

We ordered our coffees, and went and sat at the same table I had been waiting for her at. We talked a bit, but I was a little on the anxious side to get to the office. I wanted to see her face when she saw her desk. I also wanted to give her a detail description of her new job. We finished with our coffees, and started for the office. We were walking so close that at times are arms would touch. I wanted so much to hold her hand and show her that I was hers.

When we got to the office, I introduced her to Jess and explained that from time to time they would have to work together on projects. Then I lead her into our office. The look on her face when she saw her desk was just the look I wanted to see. Her already big chocolate eyes light up with pure delight. She turned and smiled at me, which just made me smile more then I already was. I motioned for her to sit at her desk.

"Bella first off I want to go over what your new job in tells and if you have any questions please don't haste to ask me." I stated trying to sound friendly.

"Ok, I hope that I can do this job as well as I did my last one." She said almost with a laugh as I could see that she was really getting nervous now.

"You are now in charge of keeping my schedule, day to day, making sure that all materials needing for meetings are in my hand the day before said meeting. You will also check over the materials to make sure there are not errors and if you find errors please make sure that the material is corrected before handing it to me." I stated all this before taking a break, as I just loved to look on her face as she listened to me talk.

I continued to explain all her duties and she kept just looking at me with those chocolate eyes. She did a lot of smiling and did not seem to have any questions to ask me. I wish she would have had questions, but I could tell she was still very nervous and I did not want to push her to much.

"Bella if you would like to take a break you are more then welcomed to take one, I do believe that you know where the break room is." I stated trying to lighten the mood a bit.

"Yes I know where the break room is, but I would rather not have a break right now I will wait until lunch if you don't mind." I think that was the most she has said all morning and she said this while looking directly at me.

"Ok then lets continue talking about what else you will be responsible for." I added.

"Sure one thing first," She said

"Shut I will answer any and all questions you have already told you that." I said trying to hide the fact that she was starting to make me nervous, by the way, she had been so quiet up until this point.

"Why did you take out the couch and add this desk in here and not put it in the empty office across the hall." She asked with a puzzling look on her face.

"Bella as my personal assistant I need you closer then across the hall so it made perfect sense to me to have your desk put in here and this office really don't need a couch in it now does it." I ended my explanation with a question for her.

"I guess not." She stated looking down at her desk instead of me, I could tell that she was blushing a bit.

We talked a little bit long, Bella even started asking me questions about how will she know if a report had errors. I told her if she ever had any questions on that, she could always ask me if I felt something was an error or not. I looked at the clock and it was almost noon as I asked if she would join me for lunch.

"Yes I think that would be nice." She said with a big smile on her face.

I took her to the little café down the street that sits right next to the Starbucks we had met at that morning. While we eat, she asked me a question.

"Edward, why do you need a personal assistant when you have Jess, who seems to be quit efficient as a secretary?" She asked me this with a grin on her face the kind that most people get when they already know the answer to the question.

"Bella, at times I need things done and Jess is busy with other things." I told her trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh" was her only answer back.

After lunch we went back up to the office, where I showed her how to use the companies computer system as it had some very tight security on it, if you don't understand how to access them you can lock the whole system up. It would take hours sometimes days and my IT guys would be pissed at me. I even took her down to meet the IT guys.

"Hey guys I would like to introduce to you my new personal assistant. Bella I would like you to meet Elton, Mike and Matt. If you ever have any question about the computer system or have any other computer need these are the dudes to see and please never call them geeks or nerds they just want to be called the computer guys.

"Hi Bella yes he's right we are the computer guys and nothing more." Elton said with a huge smile. I guess he could tell that I liked this young lady.

After meeting the computer guys it was time to go home. I told Bella I would see her in the morning.

"Edward, we are still on for coffee in the morning right." She added as she was walking out the door of the office.

"Yes if you are still buying, I will be there." I said trying to get her to smile for me again and it worked.

I left a few minutes after her thinking that I will have to ask her out on another date real soon or I was going to lose my sanity all together.
