Thanks for the great reviews! I'll now be sure to continue writing this story! =]
Chapter Two
After a wild fifteen minute drive, I got to work. I hopped in the elevator, pressing buttons like crazy until finally, it moved up. Twelve floors later, I arrived at my office. And of course, Alice was standing there waiting for me.
"Oooh! You wore it, you wore it!" she squeeled as I stepped out of the elevator.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I mumbled, stumbling over to our cubicle, flinging my bag on to the floor, sitting down on my chair and tugging off my coat.
Alice and I shared a cublicle at work. We were always chatting, and then getting shouted at for doing so.
"Is the devil in yet?" I asked Alice; Devil meaning our boss: Jessica Stanley.
I remembered the first time that I met Ms. Stanley. One of the worst days of my life. I walked over to her, thinking she was, maybe, a nice person – which, frankly, she wasn't – and said, 'Hello, Jessica.' I then realized that she did not like to be called by her first name. Well, after that event, she shouted at me, and I had to beg her to hire me. Bad times...
She chuckled, "No." she replied.
Then Alice sat down in her chair, and we got to chatting... And some sort of working.
"So," she began. settling her fingers to begin typing, "You excited about tonight."
She wagged her eyebrows at me as a villian might do so in an old film.
"Ugh, no. You and Rosalie are going to have all the fun with your men. I'll be left alone, sitting at the bar..." I trailed off, not even wanting to continue: it'd be too awkward, despite that it was awkward enough as it was.
"You won't be alone, silly!" she trilled. "Your precious man is gonna be there." She winked at me then, and began typing.
"And who might that be?" I asked, as I too, began typing.
"Guess who?!" she whisper-yelled. When I still didn't understand, she decided to butt in.
"Well... You're basically in love with him! How do you not know who I mean?!" she asked, obviouslt frustrated.
"Oh."
"Edward!" she shrieked. No one in the office turned their heads; they knew what Alice was like.
Just then, Ms. Stanley walked over.
"Alice Cullen, would you mind telling me why you are shrieking?" she asked, annoyed.
"Oh! Sorry Ms. Stanley. Bella here, just has a very special evening tonight."
Since when do I have a special evening tonight? All that's special about tonight, is the fact that Edward might be there. I thought.
"And what might be so special about tonight for Ms. Swan?" Ms. Stanley enquired.
"Well, my brother, who Bella has had an enormous crush on for years, has asked her out on a date." Alice smiled.
Edward. Cullen. Was. Asking. Me. On. A. Date?
Edward Cullen was asking me out?
I gasped, audibly, Alice chuckled.
"Oh. Well, then. Have a nice time this evening then, Bella." Jessica said, just before walking away to her office.
"What?" I whispered to Alice when Ms. Stanley's door had closed.
"I was getting to the point." she smiled. "I was just about to tell you when the Devil showed up!"
She beamed at me, then got back to work. I just gawked at her.
"Edward?" I asked, "You mean... Your brother Edward, who I've been crushing on for ages?"
She turned her head towards me slightly, squeeled, then said, "Yeah."
I gasped.
"Shit!" I breathed, whilst returning to my work, "Thanks for getting me this outfit, Al."
"No problem, I know Edward likes those kinda clothes."
I stared, wide-eyed at my computer, hoping, wishing, anything that what Alice just said was true.
After work, 9:30pm.
"I... I can't believe he asked me out." I breathed, as Alice drove along the highway, on the way to the night club. "You didn't tell him to... Right?"
"Why the hell would I do that?" Alice asked, angry of my accusation.
"Well... I guess I don't know. I'm just very excited." I smiled a big, ear-to-ear smile at Alice, even though her eyes were locked on the road – all the Cullens were great drivers.
"Thank you so much Alice! I love you!" I reached over to hug Alice quickly whilst she was driving. She hugged me back with her hand – which had been on the gear shift – quickly, swirving out of the way of another driver.
"Yeah, yeah, ok! Get off of me! We're nearly there!" she chuckled, pushing me off her.
I just sat in my seat, beaming, for the rest of the drive.
The. Best. Night. Of. My. Life.
I don't personally think that this chapter was as good as the last one, but you readers are the judges of that! Review, please =]
