Chapter 2

I woke up to bright rays of sunshine streaming through the windows announcing the new day. The bad feeling in my gut had disappeared during the night, but I still couldn't help but wonder what it was about. I got ready for the day ahead and got prepared to go grocery shopping, since I didn't have work til nine. I lived in a small loft not to far from The Grill, still think that place needs a name change. It has one bedroom, two bathrooms, and a tiny living room and kitchen. It's fairly small, but I think it suits me perfectly. I was walking down the street towards the grocery store when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked back to see absolutely nothing to be worried about. Don't worry Bella they're just ordinary people around you. I don't think that that really reassured my currently fast beating heart. I finally reached the grocery store and got my cart and started shopping for the food and necessities that I needed. After I had finished shopping for everything I needed, I started heading towards check out till when I could feel a pair of eyes on me again. I looked back to see a man with black sunglasses staring at me. Don't freak out his eyes may just be scanning the room, but then again who wears sunglasses inside a building? I quickly checked out and hurried out of the store towards my apartment; I think I was practically running down the street, but how would I know I was too scared to slow down, what I was scared of, who knows. I finally got back to my apartment and lounged inside for the remainder of the time I had left before I had to go to work.

It had been one hour since my shift had started and about fifteen people had walked through that door. Marcell was at the back as usual, doing whatever he always does there. I could hear the bell ring and I got a menu to go take to the customer.

"Well hello to you too Bella." I heard an all too familiar voice. The bad feeling in my gut appeared again telling me to run away from him.

"Hello Edward, how are you doing today?"

"Good, what about you?" He said giving me his crooked smile.

"Good; perfectly fine." I said giving him a fake smile, hoping it would look real and he wouldn't catch on. "What would you like to eat i asked as politely as I could."

"A coffee, just like yesterday, please?" He asked mesmerizing me with his eyes.

"O-okay." Why on earth do I have to stutter like an idiot, I mean it's not like I like him or anything, I just think he's hot, I mean he's an appealing guy. I took his coffee to him and just as I was about to leave he grabbed my wrist. I slowly turned around to meet his green eyes staring back at me.

"I know I freaked you out yesterday and I just wanted to say sorry for that; and I wish I could ask if we could start over again, but I guess it's too late for that; I probably freaked you out too much anyway, didn't I.

"No, not at all and I guess everyone deserves a second chance."

"They do don't they? So let me start over. Hello I am Edward Cullen and you are?" He asked making me laugh.

"I'm Bella Swan and I need to close up." I said to him actually giving him a real smile and enjoying this conversation.

"Well a lady's got to do, what a lady's got do." He said both of us giving each other bright smiles.

"Goodbye Edward."

"Goodbye Bella." He said while standing up to leave. For the first time since I had met him, which was yesterday,I was actually sad to see him go.

I had finally finished closing the shop down, and was on my way home when I felt a pair of eyes boring into my back. I turned around and saw nothing, but I couldn't help but be worried. I hurried my steps making it into my apartment in record time. I kicked my shoes of and checked to see if my door was securely locked. I closed all the windows and curtains and made sure my alarm was on, I had finally calmed down enough to go and take a warm bath. I got my bag of necessities and got into the bathroom. I ran the bath while I got myself undressed. As soon as I got in all my nerves instantly loosened up.

I stayed in the water until it got cold; I probably would've slept in there if I didn't get up in time. I got dressed then dragged myself into bed; as soon as my head hit the pillow I was of to la la land never waking up and never noticing the strange pair of eyes peering at me through my bedroom curtains, on my little bedroom balcony; never knowing that giving that second chance would be the start of everything.

Was it too short? I'll try to make them longer but I can't guarantee that unless I post a lot of chapters. Hopefully all the action will start in the next chapter. Please review I need a dose of self confidence to know if I should continue.

Forever Love by Francesca Battistelli. It's actually a very nice song. I can't get enough of it.
