"Jeez Alice. For a person who looks like she weighs ninety pounds, you sure can tackle the wind out of someone. Now get off of me so I can finish packing." I wanted to yell at shorty but she was practically sitting on my lungs.

She shook her head. "Oh no no no Bella! I want you to spill the beans on Mr. Copper-Head."

I rolled my eyes. "Well in order for me to tell you booze hounds, you need to get off of me so I can breathe."

Angela and Rose let go of my arms and the little pixie devil did a backwards hand stand. "You know Alice, one of these days you're going to smash into something and spilt your head open and all I'm going to do is laugh and do nothing to help." I smiled as she stuck her tongue at me.

"Well it's a good thing that there are two other nurses to help me. Plus I never lose my balance unlike someone else I know, Miss Swan."

I was about to say something else when Angela, who was usually the quite one in our little group, piped in, "Oh stop stalling Bella and spill!" She pushed her glassed back up her nose and jumped up and down like she was possessed by Alice's energy. I was a little taken back by her aggressiveness. She'd been hanging out with Rose and Alice way too much.

I let out a huge breath and said, "Ladies, nothing happened. Edward came in I gave him his shots and that was it." I was walking towards my room and was able to hear their footsteps following me. Just as I was reaching for my last suitcase to pack the rest of my clothes when I heard Rose say, "Sure Bella, nothing happened if you took half an hour when you should've been done in fifteen."

I had no idea what to say back. "Uh….he….I…..well he didn't like needles so I had to take it extra slow for him." I kept my hands busy with my packing trying not to look back at them but I could feel their eyes on the back of my neck.

I saw Alice pour herself another drink. "Sure and Angela is legal age. Come on Bella, I know something was going on between you two. I saw you two standing really close together and you were beat red."

Damn it! I was hoping she didn't notice but she did. So I decided just to tell them. "Ok. Right after I was done with him, he grabbed my wrist and I felt something some kind of energy that I could only feel when his skin touched mine. When he was getting closer to me I didn't want to pull away. I wanted to get closer. I know he felt it too but little miss sunshine had to come running up like Charlie Chaplin screaming about sailors. Anyway it's not like I'll ever see him again. We're leaving tomorrow. Now can someone please give me a glass of wine." Rose already had the glass in front of me. "You know the soldiers we saw today are also being ship out to Hawaii."

I mentally slapped myself. That's right I thought I completely forgot! I remembered seeing that on his chart before he entered. No wonder he said he'll see me soon. I am not going to get my hopes up. I'll be working and he'll be working and we are getting closer and closer to World War Two.

I slammed shut my suitcase and gulped down my glass of wine. "Oh well, the island is probably big and there is going to be hundreds of pilots, sailors around including nurses. He'll probably meet someone new, someone not as plain as me." I felt something hit my head. "Ow! What the fuck Rose! That hurt."

She gave me a pissed off look. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. You are beautiful Bella. Any man would be lucky to have you. Now, come on girls let's get to bed, we have an exciting day tomorrow." I smiled at Rose and playfully pushed her aside. The girls left my room and I slid underneath the blankets and was out in just a few seconds. That would be the first of many nights of me dreaming about Private Edward Cullen.
