When I was finally over my jet lag I started to redecorate the apartment. The apartment was a big apartment that old and had that warm cosy feeling about it. After all day of redecorating I decided that it was time to put the massive, vintage looking claw foot bath tub into use. I lit candles all around the bathroom, put on some easy listening music, poured myself a glass of red wine and got undressed. I started running the bath and put the bubbles in when I remembered that I had a book to read on my bed side table, so I put my towel around me picked up my wine and set off to my bedroom. When I was half way there, there was a knock on the door. I wasn't really thinking much and just went straight to the door and opened it. When I opened the door there was a pixie like girl standing in front of me. "Hi" she said "I'm Alice I heard that you were moving in here and well I thought I'd come and say hello because I think that we are going to be the best of friends" but then she slowed down and looked at me up and down, that's when I realised that I was only wraped in a towel, then she said, "but if I'm interrupting something I can come back later".
"Oh no I said I was just about to have a bath is all, um I'm Bella" I said, giving her a brief wave.
" Oooo I've always liked the name Bella I think it's really beautiful, did you know that it actually means beautiful in Italian?" she asked
"Really?" I said sort of sarcastically, fascinated by how much this women could talk.
"Yer, when I was younger my family spent about almost every summer in Italy and I suppose you could say that I speak pretty good Italian." Alice said all to fast.
I all of a sudden remembered that the bath was still running and interrupted Alice's all to fast talking saying "arr Alice I've just gotta go turn the bath off and I'll get changed and then we can talk?"
"Oh yer of course, sorry I forgot."
"It's ok just come in if you want and make yourself at home I'll just be a sec"
I rushed into the bathroom to find that the bath had nearly overflowed and one of the candles had nearly lighten the curtain's above it. I quickly blew out the candles, turned off the bath and got some clothes on and went out to join Alice. To be honest I was upset that my nice peaceful evening had been disrupted but I had a good feeling about Alice (and my feelings are always right) and I was intrigued by her.
Alice and I talked until 2 o'clock in the morning just telling each other about ourselves and our families. Alice and I became best friends within the first 3 hours and quite frankly I was pleased to have a friend in New York. After Alice and I had said our good bye's I went straight to bed and fell straight asleep.
The next morning I awoke feeling grate and had a feeling that today something really good would happen. I went into the kitchen to cook something for breakfast but only to find that the cupboards were bare. I felt like going for a walk so I decided that I would go for a walk through Central Park then get some breakfast from that café that I liked Liquid Topaz. I got dressed in my purple skinny jeans, my white tank top with my leather jacket, and my converses, got my favourite book, Wuthering Heights, and set off through Central Park. It was autumn and all the trees were multicoloured and beautiful. After and hours long walk through the park I decided it was time for breakfast.
When I walked into the café there were very little people in the and a guy in his late 30's, which I presumed to be the owner showed me to a table and said a waiter would be with me in a few minutes. When I was looking over the menu a male voice said "what can I get for you" the voice was like magic and I had to look up to put the beautiful magical voice to a face. When I looked up I saw an absolutely gorgeous man, he was about six feet tall and had a very nice build (not to mention that he was wearing a black shirt that showed off all his muscles), golden, bronze unkempt hair and the most beautiful emerald green eyes that I had ever seen in my life. I knew that he had asked a question but I couldn't find the words to respond to him so I just kept dazing at him, by this point he probably thought that I was absolutely crazy so I made my self tear my eyes off of him and look at the menu. I look at the first thing I saw and said "um I'll just have the French toast with a glass of orange juice thanks." I looked up to see him scribbling my order down really fast like he had just realised I had said something. I wanted him to speak again; his voice was so beautiful that I just needed to hear it again. My wish came true when he said "yep it wont be too long." and walked off.
I kept looking for him but I couldn't see him. When the man who showed me to my seat came over and asked me if everything was ok I just blushed and said everything was fine. I realised that I was just being silly and decided I had to get my mind off of him so I pulled out my book and started reading. My plan had worked because I had forgotten everything and got lost in the book. I was interrupted at my favourite part by the magical voice again "Wuthering Heights ay? That one of my favourites" he said as he put down my plate in front of me. The words wouldn't come out and all I could come up with to say was "yer?"
"Yer I think its amazing, I'm really into all the classics"
"wow, I really don't mind what I read now, but when I first started reading I was really into romances, I would not read a book if it didn't have a romance theme in it, I suppose some would of called me a hopeless romantic, I'm actually still one now, like my favourite movie would still have to be The Notebook or Love Actually and they've been out for so long now." I stopped realising that I was having a word vomit attack; I always do when I'm nervous. I started blushing and looked up to see the god like man staring at me smiling. I blushed even more and said "well thanks for my breakfast" giving him a smile. He smiled back and walked off into the kitchen. I stared down at my breakfast and said in my head 'stupid, stupid, stupid' mentally hitting my self on the head (I decided against actually doing it because that would probably make me look like an even bigger weirdo.). I started eating and when I was half way through I sware I could see him looking at me, which made me smile even bigger.
When I was done I got up to leave and pay. When I was at the counter the god-like man was already standing there smiling at me, I smiled back.
"That'll be $12.80 thanks" he said. I dug into my bag searching for my wallet only to realise that I had left my wallet at home.
"Shit, I've left my wallet at home, would you like me to wash the dishes or something?" I said looking up to see the god-like man smiling at me.
"No there's no need for that, it's on the house" he said
"no I cant let you do that, please let me pay you back, I really would rather it, unless you think I'm going to flee the country, which I can assure you I'm not going to do"
"ok I can do that, plus it gives you a reason to come back." He said giving me the most breathtaking smile that I nearly fell to my knees right there. I, of coursed blushed and nodded.
"I'm Edward by the way"
"Bella" I said, still smiling and blushing.
"Well then Bella I guess I will see you tomorrow"
"I guess you will"
I walked out of the café with a big goofy grin on my face and it never left the whole day.

I was standing in the kitchen talking to my best mate Jasper while he was cooking me something to eat after the breakfast rush was over. There was no one in the café except for people who were finished or people who were just drinking coffee but in total there were about five people.
"So are you working tonight at the bar?" Jasper asked me. Working at the café was only our day job, at night ne worked at a night club called Lime.
'Yer, why?"
"I've got a shift to and I was just wondering if you wanted me to pick you up on my way."
"Yer that'll be cool thanks Jaz" I said walking over to the window where you could see the café. Just as I looked out there was the most amazingly beautiful girl walking in, She was wearing an outfit that looked amazing on her, her beautiful brown hair was out and flowing down her back.
"Edward can take that lady's order please?" said Aro, my boss
"yep" I replied and walked out to take her order.
When I was waiting for her to answer me I couldn't help but to stare into her beautiful brown eyes I was so lost in her eyes that I almost missed her order, but I think I got it right.
I walked into the kitchen with a smile on my face, gave Jaz the ticket and started eating my pancakes. When her order was ready to go out I took a deep breath and decided to initiate conversation, the only thing I could think of was the book she was reading, which was lucky because I actually really liked reading. When she stared babaling on about romance I started smiling because I thought it was funny that she was talking like this. When she stoped and realised what she was doing and saw me smiling a beautiful shade of red came over her cheeks. I was in awe.
When she realised she didn't have her wallet I was more than happy to pay for her meal but she wouldn't let it happen and insisted she pay me back. When I said that it would give her a reason to come back she started blushing again, which only made my smile bigger. I watched her walk out of the café still smiling. When I walked back into the kitchen Jasper realised I was smiling like a 12 year old boy after getting his first kiss and said to me " It's the brunette that was sitting at table 9 isn't it?"
"Yep, and she's gonna be back tomorrow" I said smiling even bigger if that was even possible.
I know this one is kinda long but please tell me what you think, I would really like feedback. Please review =]
