Hey guys! Thank you for those who reviewed. I getting excited about this story, I hope you are too!

This chapter is unbetaed; you have been warned.

These characters do not belong to me, however the plot does.

Sunday was like any other for Bella. She spent the day in bed curled up with a book and studying. She had put the whole Saturday night incident behind her and decided to focus her time and energy back on school work. That is until Monday morning.

Bella got up Monday morning, happy to dive back into her everyday normal routine. Her blaring alarm had woken her up at precisely 8:00 A.M. Her class did not start until 9:30 and she knew she had plenty of time to get ready. After staying in bed for an extra 5 minutes, she got out of her cozy bed and paddled her way into the bathroom. She took her time in the warm shower going over things she wanted to get done that day. She knew that after class she had to get to work.

Both Bella and Alice worked at a cute little diner, Sam's Diner, that was about a 5 minute walk from their shared apartment. The girls stumbled upon the job one night when they decided to go out for a late night dinner. The place was completely packed and they were short on service. When the owner Sam, an elderly man, had joked about them working there while taking their order, they immediately accepted. Even though Rosalie was also offered the job, she ended up getting a job at a car garage instead.

Sam's Diner had an old 50's theme complete with red booths and checkered floors. Even though Bella had found the theme absolutely adorable, she was grateful she didn't have to wear the roller-skates. She wasn't crazy about the uniform but didn't think it was that bad. Their uniform included a classic red and white pin-strip dress that flowed down mid-thigh matched with a little white apron and a fitted pink cardigan finished off with a simple pair of white flats.

Getting out of the shower, Bella proceeded to blow dry her hair, letting the loose wave fall past her shoulders. She applied a light coat of mascara and a smudge of eyeliner before finishing off with a swipe of chap-stick. The weather was slightly breezy today so she decided to bundle up. She put on a light gray v-neck paired with a pair of skinny jeans and completed the outfit with a white scarf, red cardigan and her favorite black combat boots.

She then continue her morning routine in the kitchen where she made herself a quick bowl of cereal. She was in the middle of her breakfast when she heard the shower starting, indicating that Alice had woken up. The girls had made sure their classes didn't all start at the same time to prevent early morning bathroom clashes. Bella's classes usually start around 9-ish, Alice didn't start class till nearly 10:30 and Rosalie took her classes in the afternoon. Fortunately, the girls would usually get home around the same time and most of the time are able to eat dinner together.

The clock hanging on the kitchen wall indicated that it was 9:05. Bella quickly finished her cereal and headed back to her room making sure she had everything she needed. Cell phone, check. Book bag, check. Wallet, check.

After gathering everything she needed, she stopped off in front of the bathroom to let Alice know she was leaving.

"Hey, Alice! I'm gonna head off now."

She heard the shower stop for a second then continue running, "Okay see you tonight, Bells!"

Bella arrived to school with 5 minutes to spear. She hurriedly parked her car in the UCLA campus parking lot and made her way to class. Her English class seemed to last forever; her professor drown on and on about the many different types of poetry. Normally, Bella would be completely focused on the lecture and even take notes, but today her mind seemed to wander off. She found herself starting at the clock, watching the second hand make it's way around the clock, over and over again.

When the clock finally read 11, she was first to leave the classroom. Bella had one more class today, her favorite class, History. Her class did not start until 1:30 and it was a bit early for lunch so she headed off to the campus library. On her way there, she stopped at a coffee cart to grab a quick latte. She sat at the comfy chair near the window and completely absorb herself into her book until her cell phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out to realize it was a text message from Alice.

"Hey Bells! Rose and I were thinking about doing lunch at BJ's at around noon. Come with?"

She checked the time on her phone, seeing that it was already 11:45.

"Sure, I'm heading there now." She sent the quick reply to Alice before gathering her things and walked out to her car. Even though the ride to BJ's was a short one, she was the last to arrive.

"Hey guys, how was your morning?" She greeted her two best friends with a smile.

"Eh, Alice woke me up way too early with her stupid singing," Rose grumbled in her seat, taking a sip from her coffee cup. Rosalie hated being woken up in the morning; she was a major night owl and needed her 'beauty sleep'. Rosalie had her hair tied up in a loose messy bun with a light amount of make up on. She wore a pair of blue skinny jeans, a gray blouse and completed the outfit with a pair of knee high boots. She looked effortlessly beautiful.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault you picked the room right next to the bathroom." Alice replied with a smile. Alice was a morning person. . and an afternoon person. . and a night person. Heck Alice was just happy and cheery almost all the time. She had on a fitted light sweater dress and black pumps.

Before Rosalie could come back with a comeback, a cheery waitress came to take their order. She seemed to be much older then the girls.

"Well, Hello there! Welcome to BJ's, my name is Ronnie, I'll be your waitress today, may I start you guys out with a couple drinks?"

And that's how lunch went; a cheery waitress and good food. The girls finished lunch at around 1 o'clock then parting ways to get to class. They made plans to grab dinner together at 7:30 and were on their way.

Bella got back to the campus early and took her time to get to class. Arriving in the classroom, she notice that today's lecture was on World War I. Bella spent the hour and a half completely absorbed in the information her teacher was giving. By the time 3:00 rolled around, Bella quickly put her stuff away and made her way to Sam's. Her shift started at 3:30 and she did not want to be late.

The drive to the diner was a short one and she still had a good 15 minutes to get changed in the employee locker room. She put on her uniform, making sure she had her notepad and pen in the pocket of her apron.

She inwardly groan when she saw that her co-workers Lauren and Jessica were also working today. It wasn't that Bella didn't like them. . wait yeah, it was that she didn't like them. They both had the tendency to wear their dresses extremely low and had even hem their dresses to make them look shorter. The amount of make up they were looked like they were getting ready to go clubbing, not starting a shift at the diner.

Bella finish putting on her uniform before making awkward eye contact with the both of them, then making her way to the main dinning room.

"Hello there, Bella." Sam greeted her with a smile, "I'm gonna need you to cover Alice's section too until she gets here."

"Oh, yeah sure thing." Bella headed to her section with a couple of menus to start grabbing orders.

"Hello there, my name is Bella, I'll be your server today, would you guys like to start off with a few drinks?"

After writing down her order, she headed to the kitchen window to place her order. Everything seemed like it usually was, that is until she heard Jessica and Lauren gushing about something. They were both standing by the front counter starting at the far side of the room.

"Oh my gosh! Did you like see his face? He's like super hot."

Out of curiosity, Bella glanced in the direction of their pointing, seeing two male costumers, one sitting facing her and the other with his back turned. Her initial thought was that he was in her section. She grabbed two menus and began to make her way over to take their orders.

"Hey Bella, you know, like if you want we can totally cover that table for you." Jessica said in her fake overly sweet voice.

"Yeah, you like work too hard anyways." Lauren agreed with the smack of her gum.

Bella rolled her eyes and continued her walk over to the table. As she got closer, she notice that the guy, sitting facing away from her had a familiar head of reddish-brown hair.

She approached the table and reached to grab her notepad and pen before repeating her line, "Hello there, my name is Bella, I'll be your server today, would you guys like to start off with a few drinks?"

Bella looked up to find the familiar striking green eyes she had seen just nights before. She froze.

Oh shit. .

"Bella, it's nice to see you again." Edward replied in a relaxed voice almost like they were friends meeting for lunch.

"Umm. . "

Crap! It's okay Bella, just breath. Act professional. Damn, I knew I should have let Jessica take this table.

"W-would y-ou guys like to start off with some drinks tonight?" Bella kept her eyes cased downward.

Maybe if I ignore it, he'll stop pushing it, Bella hoped.

"I'll have the coke." The other guy at the table ordered. Bella had almost forgot he was there.

He looked to be around Bella's age, maybe a couple years older. He had light brown hair and a boyish smile with perfect pearly whites.

"Just water for me."

Bella stole a glance at her mystery man to see that he was staring directly at her. She could feel the blood rushing up to her face.

"I-I'll be right back with those." She said and scurried away. She had to switch tables with Jessica.

Fortunately, she saw Jessica standing by the kitchen counter and hurried over to her handing her their order. "Look, you can have the table."

Without further questions, Jessica grabbed the orders, pushed up her boobs and fixed her hair. She pranced her way over to the table with a flirty smile on her face.

Gosh, I hope they still have their appetite after that episode.

Bella then went to bring food to a few tables and placed more orders. It wasn't long before she saw Jessica come back with a disappointed and annoyed look on her face. Bella felt a smirk craw upon her face.

"I don't know what you said to him, but like, he wants you to like take his order."

The smirk instantly left Bella's face. "Well tell him, I'm helping other tables."

"I did! But he like wouldn't have it. Gosh, what's your problem anyways?" She said before waiting away.

Bella took a deep breath and made her way back to the table. She glanced at her watch to see that Alice's shift should be starting in 5 minutes. She figured that if she just quickly took the order she could make Alice switch tables with her when she got here.

Bella kept her eyes trained on the notepad in her hands as she approached the table.

Grow up Bella! Put on your big girl panties.

"What could I get you guys today?"

Right then, the other guy's phone rang. "Excuse me." He quietly said and stepped out.

Oh great.

"So, Bella is it? Do you have any plans for tonight?" Edward asked in a smooth voice that went straight to her panties. "How bout I take you out tonight?"

"Excuse me?" Bella was taken by surprise, "I don't even know you."

"Really? I remember knowing you quite well the other night."

Bella felt her face heat up again.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, but Isabella, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about." He said in a low voice. "But if you want, I would be glad to refresh your memory."

Bella was suddenly offended. She took a deep breath and tried to remain professional.

"Sir, if you don't wanna order anything, I help the other costumers."

"I thought you were here to assist me."

"Look, Mister. ." She paused for him to offer her his name.

"Cullen, Edward Cullen." He said flashing his perfectly white smile.

Before Bella could answer, he spoke again.

"Why did you leave yesterday?" A hint of sadness in his voice.

"Look, about Saturday night, that's not something I normally do okay? I would just like to forget about it."

"Okay, look, I'm running out of time before my meeting. I'm very attracted to you and I would like it very much if you agreed to go for a quickie at my place before I get back to work."

Who does this guy think he is?

"Look, Mister Cullen, if you're not planning to order something, I suggest you leave the table for someone who does. If you would like further assistance, I'm sure Jessica can help you out."

Before he could say anything back, she turned to head back to the front of the diner. She was more then glad to see Alice standing by the kitchen window placing an order in.

"So Bells, who was that mighty fine man you were talking to over there? Looked pretty heated to me."

She quickly pulled Alice to the side, "Ali, t-that was the guy. The one from Saturday.."

Alice's eyes widened. "Damn, Bells! I didn't know you had such good taste in men." She sneaked a peak over my shoulder, "What did you say to him? He didn't even order anything."

Bella slowly turned to look back at the table to see it empty, drinks untouched.

"He's a total ass." Bella said with a roll of her eyes. She then proceeded to replay the conversation for Alice.

Well, at least that's over with.

The girls then got back to work. They took orders, brought out the food and then cleared the tables. This process continued till the clock hit 7:00. Bella and Alice finished their last tables and then proceeded to the employee lounge to change back into their clothes.

"I'll text Rose to let her know we're on our way." Alice pulled out her phone as they walked into the parking lot.

Tonight they had decided to eat dinner at a small little Italian cafe not too far from the apartment.

~ . ~ . ~

Bella splash her face with warm water, removing the last bits of make up that remained on her face. The small alarm clock that sat on her bedside table indicated that it was a quarter till 9. Dinner was delicious and it gave the three best friends to talk about their day.

When Bella had told Rosalie what had happen with Edward, Rosalie immediately wanted to go kick his ass. It took a few minutes to calm her down before they could continue with dinner.

"It doesn't matter anyways, cause that was definitely the last time I'm planning to see him." She had said.

Bella was now sitting at her computer table in her pajamas going over today's lesson and completing the assignments. She knew she had a big essay due soon and wanted to get a good smart on it.

Before she knew it, it was already 12:30; she was glad she didn't have class the next day. Tomorrow was her day off from class and she did not have to start work till 3 o'clock the following afternoon. She wandered into the kitchen, looking for a midnight snack. She was surprise to find Rosalie lodging on the sofa, watching infomercials.

"Can't sleep either?" She asked without looking up from the screen.

"No, up studying." Bella reached for the rocky road ice cream from the freezer. "Want any ice cream?"

"Nahh, I'm good."

Bella made herself a bowl of ice cream then plopped down onto the couch next to Rosalie.

"What the heck are you watching anyways?"

"No idea." She said and continued to channel surf.

~ . ~ . ~

Bella woke up on the couch the next morning with a sleeping Rosalie next to her and a nasty taste of bad ice cream in her mouth. She reluctantly got up to rinse the god-awful taste from her mouth with Listerine. As she walked by Alice's room, she notice that she had already gone to class. After cleaning herself up in the shower, she made a stack of blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

After eating her share, she went to go lay around in her room with a book. It wasn't long before she heard Rosalie call for her.

"BELLS!"

She walked into the living room to find Rosalie with a huge bouquet of Pansy flowers in her hands.

"Flower Delivery for you." She said dropping it on the coffee table.

Who would send me flowers? Bella wondered.

She reached for the little white card;

I hope to see you again soon.

-Edward

"Purple Pansies? The guy couldn't spring for something nicer, like roses or something?"

"Don't flowers have a meaning to them or something?" Bella had remember Alice saying something about that before.

She quickly ran to grab her laptop and did a quick search. She clicked the first link that came up;

Pansy, Purple:
You occupy my thoughts.

Okay, I know this chapter wasn't super exciting, but just hang in there, there's more Edward to come next chapter! I hope you liked it and if you have time, a review would be very much appreciated!

Until next time,

Ashlee.
