This is my moment chapter 2 21:24
Dear Diary – yes I'm going to start that each day as I can't decide how else to talk to you I think you'll help me focus and get what I want. Talking of what I want – number one on my list was a new job and guess what I've got it!
Working for Esme Cullen at the new Library, well it's going to be the library. She's moved from New York to here and use to work in one of the larger libraries there. Between the two of us we're going to start the Forks Library. I just can't wait to be with all those books, the smell of a new book as it's opened, the leather, the peace and quiet! Hm well I hope so anyway.
Esme has asked me to start tomorrow, we're going to go over all the orders and designs that she's made for the library. She's also going to introduce me to the rest of the team, mostly they are family by the sounds of it. I wonder what they are like?
Right off to the shops now to fill the cupboards and perhaps to make something to take with me tomorrow. I don't think anyone can resist brownies.
For the beginning of the year it was cold and wet, it's never anything different in Forks or at least it seems that way. Trudging across the car park to the shops from the car park I watched my feet carefully so that I didn't fall over and break anything again. I wish I'd looked up once in a while but most people knew to keep out of my way.
"Ummph!" I felt all the breath leave my body as I hit what felt like a brick wall and then started to fall backwards. This was going to hurt and with a new job tomorrow. I closed my eyes and waited for the cold sidewalk to meet by rear. In the same second I felt large hands grabbing my arms and yanking me back towards the brickwall. As I now fell forward towards this I opened my eyes and was met with the most glorious view ever.
A broad chest covered in a black long jacket, a scarf wrapped around his neck and as I looked up even higher, twinkling green eyes that seemed to laugh and smile. I couldn't see any more for the hat pulled down over his head but what I could see I liked.
'Hi' I said weakly, then clearing my throat. ' Thank you, I would have normally been checking my rear for bruises by now!' My eyes widened as I suddenly realised I word vomited at him. I blushed, cringed and tried to take a step back.
'Oi' a large voice boomed across the car park. 'Put her down Edward, you can't go collecting girls before you've been here at least one day!'
The man in front of me cringed also at the loud voice and smiled at me again.
'I'm sorry are you ok? ' he asked. ' I'm Edward and this loud mouthed monster is my brother Emmett' as he pointed to the man walking across the car park towards us.
'Hi' I repeated and then remembered ' I'm Bella, Bella Swan. Sorry for bumping into you, mostly people round here know to steer clear of me when I'm out and about in case I take them over with me when I fall.'
'I'm Emmett' Edwards brother announced as he appeared next to us and picked me up and swung me around. ' You're just the right size, can we keep her?' I assumed he was talking to his brother but on looking round I noticed a tall willowy blonde lady behind him. She stepped forward and hit him on the head.
' Put her down Em, you can't keep picking people up. I'm Rosalie by the way.' She stuck out her hand and gave Emmett a look as she did so.
I was still slightly taken a back by all the was going on but the way they communicated made me smile. I watched and thought that I'd add this to my wish list in my diary. A family that cared!
'We moved here this morning and are just getting to know the place before starting our new jobs. So far Emmett seems to have scared off most of the people around by picking them up. You're the first person to still be smiling when he's put them down.' Rose said. As she continued to talk, we seemed to all be walking towards the food shops and as we got closer I realised that I would rather be with them, than go home on my own.
' Oh Rose look, it's a sweet shop. Can we go in please? Pretty please, go on please?' Emmett begging was a sight to behold and I laughed as he dragged Rose across the Mall to the window of the sweet shop.
' You have a lovely laugh!'
I turned to look at Edward, still smiling and he seemed to then realise he'd said it out loud and blushed slightly.
'Thank you, I'm hoping to laugh a lot more this year!'
'Why didn't you last year?' he looked at me curiously.
I hesitated and realised that I wanted to tell this man everything – perhaps not a wise choice if I needed to keep him around a bit longer without thinking I'm crazy.
' Yes.. I mean No I realised that I'd got stuck in a rut and I wasn't happy in my job and lots of other things and that I wanted to be, happy that is and laugh more and many other things. So I've set myself a challenge for the year to say yes to more and enjoy life' I trailed off , not knowing what else to say and looked up at Edward, who seemed to be watching me closely.
'So you're going to say yes to more?' he enquired.
'Yes, as much as I can' I said ' as long as it doesn't leave me jobless or homeless!'
'Go out with me? Say Yes? Please!'
