Chapter 51

I wasn't a fool, I knew there was a chance that, emotionally, this would probably scar me for life, but, it was a chance that I was willing to take. "Then, don't make me choose. Don't make me choose between my father's dream for me and our friendship. Please," I pleaded before I started to cry.
Reaching in his pocket, he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped my tears away. Giving me one of his dimpled grins, Em leaned in and kissed me on my forehead. "You can't get rid of me that easily, Small Fry. Do what you gotta do; Rosie and I will always be here for ya."
"I love you, Em. And I promise; I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you, or Rose, for that matter." I couldn't help it; I had to remind him how much he meant to me.
"I know, little one, and I love you, too." That being said, Em put in the elevator code and headed up to his office.
As soon as the doors closed, I fell to the floor in a heap. Strong arms pulled me to my feet, and, wrapped in Edward's arms, I was surrounded by his intoxicating scent.
I don't know how long we stood there, before he handed me a business card with both his work and cell phone numbers on it. "Call me in a few days, and, we'll meet for lunch to go over all the details."
Cupping my cheek, his green eyes bore into mine. "Isabella, please take a few days to think about your decision, because, once we sign the contract, there is no going back." With a kiss to the top of my head, he turned on his heel to leave.
Holy fucking shit... what have I gotten myself into?!
