First things first….as always….

Disclaimer: I do not own "Twilight" or "Funny Face." I however, would love to own Emmett. He warms the cockles of my heart *sigh.*

What is this? Another chapter? Four chapters in four days? Yep! I know I told ya'll not to get used to updates coming around so frequently and here I am posting every day. Well, I meant it.

Thank you to all of you who have reviewed. It means so much to me that ya'll are enjoying my little story here. Thanks again to Charley, she keeps me inspired with her witty reviews and all around greatness!! Also, special shout out to munch14, who has seen "Funny Face" and seems to love it as much as I do. That rocks! Enough from the peanut gallery….

"Why are you showing me a picture of myself?"

They turned to each other and smiled before Alice replied to me.

"We have a proposition for you my dear."

Oh God, what have I gotten myself into now?

BPOV

"Proposition?"

I was confused and a bit scared. What could they possibly want with me?

"Oh, Bella," Alice said, "don't look so frightened. We said it was nothing bad and, well it isn't; at least we don't think so."

"Alice, just tell her already before she passes out or something."

"Fine, we have been racking our brains for a long time now trying to find a way to give our magazine an edge over the competition, a way to revive it. Our profit has fallen and we are slipping in popularity polls. We need a change. That's where you come in."

"I don't understand. What do I have to do with any of this?"

"You have everything to do with this. Now, Edward brought your photo to our attention."

"Edward? Your photographer guy? Why?" I had no idea he had even taken a photo of me or why he would even bother showing it to them.

"He saw something in you that Rose and I completely missed. We were so wrapped up in our problems and all the chaos yesterday that we basically had a one track mind that was solely focused on getting that shoot done and getting the magazine to print in time. When Edward showed us the picture, I immediately knew exactly what was needed. We need to appeal to a broader number of women. We want them to feel like they can relate to our magazine, to our model."

"And you think they would relate to me?"

"Yes, definitely. You are the complete opposite of women like Tanya. You have a natural beauty that is refreshing. You're intelligent, witty and down to earth."

I let out a very unladylike snort.

"Yeah, sure. Now I'm convinced that you ladies are either completely delusional or you been taking some really good drugs. Which is it?"

Rosalie rolled her eyes and Alice sighed.

"Bella," Alice took my hand, "we are not high or delusional. We have been in this business long enough to know what works and what doesn't. Trust us when we say that you are perfect for our magazine. You are exactly what we need."

Rosalie finally broke in.

"She's right. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant at first but now I'm convinced you are the breath of fresh air we need to revive this magazine."

"I just….I um, don't get it. I mean look at the two of you. Why not pose for your own magazine? I look like a mousy, frumpy loser compared to you two."

"Oh hush," Alice said as she swatted my knee.

"Really, Bella, where did you get such a low self-esteem? I won't pretend I'm not flattered that you think Alice and I are so beautiful, but you are too. Your beauty is just a bit hidden is all. It needs to be accentuated a bit."

"Yep, she is absolutely right. We just need to give you a very small makeover."

"Makeover?! Whoa, no way! I don't do makeovers!"

"Oh, come on Bella! Please? It won't be so bad. Just a haircut, a little eyebrow plucking and a bit of makeup."

"What happened to all of that garbage about me having natural beauty? Now you tell me I need a makeover? That makes everything you said before really convincing."

"Bella, you have to be the most stubborn and defensive person we've dealt with. Wouldn't you agree Rose?"

"Definitely."

"Well, how else do you expect me to respond to that?"

"I suppose I could have worded it differently."

"You'll have to excuse Alice. She gets excited and plus she has no filter."

"Hey, you could have been more help, then maybe she wouldn't be so upset with me."

"Help? How was I supposed to really get a word in with your motor mouth on autopilot?"

Alice jumped up and moved over to where Rosalie was standing.

"Motor mouth?! Nice Rose!"

Alice and Rosalie started bickering back and forth and were soon distracted into a heated argument. I decided to use that to my advantage and escape. I bolted for the door and ran out of the office. I knew I would never make it if I waited for the elevator, so I took off down the hallway and prayed I would find a stairwell. I knew I shouldn't have come here. I should have faked a black-out episode or something so Sue would let me out of this delivery. I turned down another hallway, after nearly tripping on my own feet, and finally found my salvation in the door marked Stairwell. Just as I opened the door I heard my name being yelled.

"Bella! Come back!"

But I didn't go back. I took off down the stairs and prayed I wouldn't tumble to my death or break anything. Floor after floor passed before I finally heard the clicking of heels coming down the stairs behind me. They were getting closer and closer and I knew I needed to get out of the stairwell. I opened the door for the fifth floor, ran into the hallway and barged into the first door I found. I slammed it shut and pressed my ear to it listening for the click clack of the high heels of my pursuers. I breathed a sigh of relief when I was greeted with utter silence. Then, I heard someone clear their throat and I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"So, do you always just barge in on people like this? Or am I just lucky?"

I turned around and gasped as I saw who was occupying the room with me. It was Edward, leaning back against a table with a mischievous, crooked and devilishly sexy grin plastered on his face. My brain froze and I lost all ability to move or speak as I drank in his long, toned body, that beautifully messy head of bronze hair and enchanting green eyes. The only problem was, I knew he would more than likely take me back to be tortured by Alice and Rosalie since this was basically all his idea.

I am so screwed, although that isn't such a bad idea if Edward's involved. Mind out of the gutter Swan. Get a grip!

EPOV

I let myself admire her again as she stared at me. I knew I should say something else to break us out of our eye exploration but I was enjoying the way she was looking at me too much. The more I saw her, the more she appealed to me, the more I wanted to get to know her. I took in the vision of her while I had the opportunity before me. I filed away each curve and line in my memory to keep with me always. I had never desired a woman so ardently before and the gentleman in me was putting up one hell of a fight with the rogue who wanted to just shove her against the door and take her right there. I couldn't do that to her. I wanted more than that. I wanted to adore her, to keep her and protect her. I allowed myself one last, lingering glance before I decided to bring us back to reality. We couldn't stand here staring at each other all day, no matter how much I may have wanted that.

"Well, love, what can I do for you?"

I saw her face flush a bright red at my question and I wished I knew what she was thinking to bring on such a reaction.

"Oh, well I'm so sorry to barge in here like this. It wasn't intentional really, I swear. I was trying to escape from Alice and Rosalie."

"I'm not upset Bella, calm down. Now, why are you trying to escape Alice and Rosalie? Did they do something to upset you?"

So help me, if they had upset her I would not be fun to deal with later.

"Well, they have this insane notion, which is really your fault anyway, that I should be their new model. They tried to convince me that I was perfect for it and then told me that I needed a makeover."

Oh Alice, I should have known she would scare the poor girl off. She got so excited that she didn't really think before she spoke and things had a tendency to come out in a way that often offended or upset people. She didn't mean anything by it, it was just the way she is.

"Why is that notion so insane? You obviously don't see how incredibly beautiful and wonderful you are."

"Beautiful? Hardly, I'm average and I'm okay with that. I don't feel the need to parade that around for millions to see and laugh at. Wonderful? You don't even know me, so how can you…."

I cut her off with another kiss. I saw her eyes go wide before we both closed our eyes and she threw herself into the kiss. Her arms wound around my neck and her fingers tangled in my hair. I grabbed her waist with one arm, bringing her closer to me as I caressed her face with my free hand. This kiss was more passionate than our previous kiss. I swept my tongue across her bottom lip hoping to take the kiss just a bit farther and I was pleasantly surprised when she opened her mouth to me. Both of us moaned as our tongues danced together and the kiss intensified even more. All too soon, we had to break apart for air but I wasn't ready to part from her quite yet. I placed a few soft, quick kisses to her lips before breaking apart from her completely. She raised her eyebrows and blew out a ragged breath.

"Okay, so that's twice now that you've basically attacked me. What's your excuse this time?" She asked as she crossed her arms and gave me a stern look.

Perfect Edward, she's mad now. I am so stupid. I really need to learn to control myself around her.

"Bella….I….God. I'm so…..well, no I'm not really. See, I…."

She bent over at the waist, clutching her stomach as she laughed loudly and I just looked on completely confused.

"Calm down, Edward. I was just kidding around. You are so much fun to mess with. You should have seen your face and, oh my God, you were really doing a great job with your explanation there. Very eloquent."

I grinned as I started walking toward her.

"Now, now that wasn't very nice Bella."

Her laughing ceased as she watched me move closer. She backed away with every step I took closer to her. Soon, she was back against the door. I leaned my right side against the door and placed my body extremely close to hers as I leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"Now, don't you think I deserve and apology….Bella?"

I leaned back a little to look at her face as she nodded her head. Her eyes were wide and I had to fight myself from kissing her again.

"Sorry Edward," she breathed out.

I cupped the left side of her face and leaned down to kiss her other cheek.

"Really, no apologies are necessary, love. I was a bit out of line but I can't help myself around you."

I moved away from her a bit and ran my hand through my hair.

"Plus, I couldn't stand listening to you put yourself down like that. When I first saw you in that bookstore, I was completely mesmerized. I snapped that picture because the expression on your face was too priceless not to document. Then, once I developed it, I was struck by you even more. When I talked to you yesterday, I was completely hooked. You are feisty, but sweet and funny. Never doubt yourself Bella. You are beautiful, breathtakingly so, and you are just what this magazine needs. We won't force you into anything you don't want to do but know that I believe in you. I think you are extraordinary and, if you'll say yes to this, I promise it will all be fine, even the makeover won't be bad. I made Alice and Rosalie promise they wouldn't go overboard and ruin your already gorgeous face. I'll make sure they stick to that because you are perfect the way you are and no one should ever change that."

Bella's face was wet with tears by the end of my little speech but she smiled up at me in pure joy.

"Thank you, Edward."

Then, I was the one being attacked this time as she threw her arms around my neck and crashed her lips to mine in another passionate kiss.

Okay, I hope that chapter was worth the read. I wasn't completely sure about the kiss or whether it was quite good enough, but I decided to leave it as it is. Let me know what you think. Review, pretty please?!?! Until the next chapter……OH, Happy 2009!!
