"Um… hi," I forced myself to say, my lips practically frozen.

"Hello," he replied, sounding a little amused.

Oh hell, his voice! It was so deep and sexy.

Much better than I'd remembered it to be.

And then if I thought it couldn't get any worse, he ran his hand through his dishevelled hair, making it even messier than before.

Sex hair wasn't even accurate enough of a description.

He grinned. "You're Bella, right?"

If he wanted me to remain sane and lucid, he really needed to stop flashing those swoon-worthy grins.

"Yeah," I breathed, feeling suddenly lightheaded. Some may say it was the champagne, but I would say it was his smile. "We went to the same High School."

"So you do remember me?"

I blushed. "Nobody can forget that hair of yours."

"I guess so." He smiled. "Did you get that publishing job you always wanted?"

What? How the hell did he know that?

The alarm must have been present on my face, as he flushed.

Holy hell, even when he was red in the face, he was still so hot.

"It was in the year book, you know, our high school year book?" he quickly explained.

He must have a photographic memory to remember that!

Then again, I didn't have a photographic memory and I never forgot what he'd had in his, but that was just because I was a tad bit infatuated with him.

Okay, a lot infatuated with him.

I laughed nervously. "Yeah, I'm studying at the University of Seattle. In a year, that degree will be mine."

"That's great," he replied sincerely.

"Did you become a doctor?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Your parents must be proud," I commented.

"They are. They think it's great that I'm following in Dad's footsteps. My girlfriend, Jessica…"

Girlfriend?

The next words that he said hardly registered in my brain, and all I could think of was that one word, the sickness inside of me almost overwhelming in its capacity.

Girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend!

Fuck!

I know you are all ready to kill me right now, but I can promise that there is a happy ending and that Edward is not too happy with his girlfriend anyway. Please review :)
