Chapter 5: Lunch Time Torture

EPOV

I couldn't help but over hear them as he was handing her the notebooks. I knew those notebooks backwards and forwards. I chuckled under my breath thinking about how long it would take her to read them.

"These are the notebooks for controlled substance procedures, and the new insurance procedures," he said.

"Is it ok if I go to the cafeteria and read through them," I heard her ask. I was hoping that he would say yes, so that I get myself under control

"Why go to the cafeteria," he said. I already knew that she was getting her own office. "Why not go to your own office."

"My own office," she replied.

"Charlie said that since you turned down many job offers to come back home you at least deserved your own office," he finished saying.

Why couldn't she have taken one of the other fancy job offers and left the job to me. It was too late to worry about, because of the fact she was already here.

"Ok, where is it," she asked.

"It's the first door to the left when you leave the pharmacy," he said. "Oh, Bella you might need these." He tossed her the keys.

"Thanks Mr. Webber," she said when she caught the keys. She headed out the door as fast as she could. Good I thought to myself, hopefully to get away from me.

"I hoped that she likes what Charlie did with all of those items he brought in," all of this was going through Mr. Webber's thoughts. What did Charlie bring here that he wanted to know about.

I remember him bringing a box of items last week that contained photo frames, but now I wanted to know what they were. Of course, it could have been her degrees that he wanted to hang. Then again, I could be completely wrong and they might mean something else, to her they could have meant something.

"Edward is everything ok," Mr. Webber said as soon as Bella left. "I thought that you could've handled that a lot better."

I bring in a girl who is not only pretty, but who also has a brain. What do you do when I bring her to meet you. You don't do anything but stare at her. Get a grip and get over it. There are maybe other reasons why I gave her the job and not you. I listened in on his thoughts.

"I'm sorry Mr. Webber," I said. "Something happened when I was on the phone."

"Well is everything okay," he said worried.

"Yes," I said coming up with another excuse. "It was just a misunderstanding at home. It won't happen again."

"Okay," he said with a smile. "For some news for you."

I hope that this can somewhat make up for not giving you the job. I couldn't help but to listen.

"I want you to have my desk," he said as he started to clean it off.

"Thanks, Mr. Webber," I said. This was at least a start to making up for the job.

I couldn't help but to overhear Debussy playing somewhere. I listened closer and realized that it was coming from Bella's office. I might not be able to hear her thoughts but she did have a good choice in music.

I continued to listen to her music as the morning progressed, it was rather a slow day for it to be a Monday. There was nothing to complicated to do just the usually antibiotics, class drugs, and the occasional compounding. Why did I enjoy compounding so much? Was it the fact that all my science background was able to come out or the fact that it was hands on. I could sit here all day and do nothing else but compound.

I hope that Bella is ready for lunch there is so much to catch up on. I knew it. It had to be Jessica, but at least she was alone.

***Knock, Knock***

"Mr. Webber," she asked poking her head around the door. "Is it okay, if I steal Bella away for lunch."

Please don't say yes, Mr. Webber I thought. You have no idea how much torture you are putting Bella in.

"I don't see a problem with that she's in her office," he said. "Jessica one hour only."

"Yes Mr. Webber," she said grinning. At least I could hear what was being said between them.

"Bella, Mr. Webber said that it's okay for you to take an hour lunch," Jessica told her. I'm glad that she is back, we could be friends again. Why did I ever think that she was trying to steal Mike away from me. I don't care that was the past.

"Okay, just give me a minute," Bella told her. "I just need to give these back to Mr. Webber."

Could it be possible that she finished reading both notebooks in a little over two hours. I heard the door open again and once again her scent hit me. I continued looking at my computer ignoring her when she came in. She looked over smiling but I didn't pay attention to her. She went over to Mr. Webber and gave him the books.

"I'll be back in about an hour," she told him. "If I'm not back send the search party out looking for me." I laughed when I heard that. I knew that Jessica got on a lot of people's nerves but it couldn't have been that bad.

"I'm sorry, Bella," Mr. Webber said as she left.

I finished the last order and looked up towards Mr. Webber.

What did I do? I can't believe that I sent her to lunch with Jessica. I hope that everything goes alright.

"Mr. Webber," I said. "Would it be okay if I went onto lunch, since all the orders are caught up."

"That's fine Edward," he said.

I logged out of the system and headed out the door towards the cafeteria. I was either going to win the battle with my inner demon or Bella would be dead in the next hour.

While Debussy was playing I managed to read both notebooks in a little over two hours. That had to be some of sort record especially for me. I guessed that when I listened to music I was able to tone out the world around me. I was almost finished when Jessica came into my office.

"Bella, Mr. Webber said that it's okay for you to take an hour lunch," Jessica told me.

"Okay, just give me a minute," I told her. "I just need to give these back to Mr. Webber."

When I walked into the pharmacy I noticed that Edward was staring at his computer again. I looked over smiling at him but he didn't pay attention to me. So I went over to Mr. Webber and gave him the books.

"I'll be back in about an hour," I told him. "If I'm not back send the search party out looking for me." I heard him, Edward laughing when I told Mr. Webber this. Why would he think this is funny? It was torture for me, and funny to him.

"I'm sorry, Bella," Mr. Webber said as I left. Yeah, I bet he was sorry. I really didn't want to spend the next hour listening to Jessica talk about Mike and herself.

As I made it back into the hallway, I noticed that Mike was with Jessica now. I felt like crawling into a hole and dieing. Lunch with Jessica was bad enough, but throwing Mike into the mix was down right suicide.

"You don't mind if Mike joins us do you," Jessica said.

"No it's fine," I told her lying through my teeth.

On the walk down to the cafeteria, Jessica told me all about how Mike proposed to her. The wedding and how she was sorry that I never received my invitation. I shrugged it off to the fact that the mail carrier probably lost it in transit. The truth was that I receive the invite, I just threw it in the trash. Finally we made it to the cafeteria, and I felt like I was in high school all over again. The cafeteria was separated into clicks, everyone sat in there own department and it blew my mind. I mean we are grown adults not teenagers. As we went through the line I just opted for a bottle of water and some fruit.

"So Bella, what have you been up to," Jessica asked as we sat down.

"Working and studying," I told her. "Just the usual when you good to grad school."

Mike wasn't at the table yet, one of the orderly's bet him twenty bucks in an arm wrestling match. Jessica had leaned across the table as if she had a secret to tell. "Did you meet any cute guys."

"Jessica I really didn't have any time for guys," I told her.

"Come on Bella," she was insisting. "There had to be some eye candy."

To be hearing this from a married woman shocked me. Well, considering that she is married to Mike I wouldn't put it past her. So I had to come up with some kind of an answer. Right before I could say anything, Edward walked into the cafeteria. He walked over to a table that only one other guy was at. He also looked as if he could a model , a model for a fitness magazine as a matter of fact. He was tall, had short dark hair, and was very muscular. Apparently he and Edward knew each other well, by the way they were talking. I must have been staring because he shot a glare at me and we made eye contact. His eyes were haunting, but they also looked as if there was a mystery behind them.

"Hello, earth to Bella," Jessica said snapping her fingers at me. "Eye candy did you see any."

"To tell you the truth," I was trying to think up something to tell her. "I never looked I was always busy." I told her, I still had Edward's face in my mind.

"So your telling me that all you did in Tennessee was work and go to class," she looked dumbfounded.

"That's right," I told her.

"Haven't you heard the term window shopping," she went on. I heard this all the time from her in high school. "You can look but you can't touch."

"Jessica, I have," I was getting annoyed by this time. Thankfully I could see Mike making his way back over. Apparently he won because he waving the twenty dollar bill in the air.

"Bella goes all the way to Tennessee just to go to work and to class," she was telling this to Mike. "Did you ever go out with a guy?"

"No Jessica, I didn't have time to go out with any guys," I told her laughing.

"See honey, I told you that it was the same old boring Bella," Mike was joking when he said this. I hoped that he was joking, if not I would have decked the shit out of him. "Nothing has changed. Just that she is a doctor."

I looked at my watch and noticed that it was almost time to go back to the pharmacy. Thank goodness that this hour went by as fast as it did, I just hoped that this would be the only time she wanted to get lunch together.

"Listen I have to get back," I told her. "I'll talk to you later."

I got up from the table and started towards the door.

"See you later, Bella," I heard her say.

I looked back as I hit the door and saw her a Mike doing some serious PDA. That was flat out gross, and not everyone in the hospital needed to see that. As I made it into the hallway I leaned up against the wall, closed my eyes and took a couple of deep breaths. I had managed to survive lunch and I just needed to survive the next three hours. I opened my eyes when the I heard the door open. I glanced out the corner of my eye and saw that it was Edward. I didn't even look at him, I just walked on down the hall to the pharmacy.

I waited a minutes before heading down to the cafeteria to spy on Bella. As I went by her office, I turned the door knob to find it unlocked. There was no one around, so I went in just to see what Charlie brought. I started to look around and noticed that they were pictures of Bella with friends and family. I picked up one of the pictures and took a look at it. I could tell it was from her high school graduation, not many schools had that color yellow for their robes as Forks High School does. Believe me, I would know about graduation robes after having my share of them. There was one frame that I found that was unique, he had framed her acceptance letter. I'm sure that this would be special for her and Charlie. I had been accepted to so many schools, that I didn't know how that felt.

I put the frame back where she had and went on down to the cafeteria. I kept reminding myself about Carlisle and how he would handle the situation. I took a deep breath and headed into the cafeteria, I noticed Emmett right off the bat. He was my brother and like Carlisle and myself worked here but as an x-ray tech. As I sat with Emmett I saw Bella on the other side sitting with Jessica.

"So how's the chief's daughter," he asked.

I can't believe him. He is going to lie and tell me that he hasn't had the time to talk to her. Thank goodness Rose called and told me what Alice saw.

"Good I guess," I told him. "She's been in her office the most of the morning. Why are we talking about Bella. Have you and Rose destroyed the new house yet. "

I had to change the subject I said laughing. I should lay you flat on your back for that comment. There's no use you already know what I'm thinking. I couldn't help but to laugh at him even more. At least this time he laughed along with me.

I caught her staring at me and shot a glare at her and we made eye contact. Her eyes were melting, and there was story behind them. I decided to listen in on Jessica to see what see said.

"Hello, earth to Bella," Jessica said snapping her fingers at her. "Eye candy did you see any." Why is she staring at Cullen? There is nothing to stare at, besides the fact that he is so gorgeous. Jessica was annoying know that I heard her.

"To tell you the truth," she said. "I never looked I was always busy."

"So your telling me that all you did in Tennessee was work and go to class," she looked dumbfounded. I could never do that, I would have to have me a new guy each night.

"That's right," she told her.

"Hello earth to Edward," Emmett was trying to get my attention.

"Yeah, we'll go hunting when I get off," I said looking in the opposite direction.

"Haven't you heard the term window shopping," she went on. I may be married, but who cares as long as I don't touch. "You can look but you can't touch."

"Jessica, I have," She was getting annoyed by this time. I could tell by the tone in her voice. By this time Mike had joined them waving twenty dollars in the air.

"Bella goes all the way to Tennessee just to go to work and to class," she was telling this to Mike. "Did you ever go out with a guy?"

"No Jessica, I didn't have time to go out with any guys," she told her laughing.

She is one of those girls who believed in going to work and to class. I just wished that her scent wouldn't set me off into killer mode. I couldn't help but laugh at Jessica. How many times did Bella have to say that she went to class and to work, before it sipped into Jessica's brain.

"See honey, I told you that it was the same old boring Bella," Mike was joking when he said this. "Nothing has changed. Just that she is a doctor."

She was looking at her watch and noticed that it was almost time to go back to the pharmacy.

"Listen I have to get back," she told her. "I'll talk to you later."

She got up from the table and started towards the door.

"See you later, Bella," I heard her say.

"See you at home, Edward," Emmett said.

He needs to go hunting tonight, or it's going to be unbearable to work with him for the chief's daughter sake.

"Emmett, meet me in the parking lot in two hours," I said as we walked in different directions.

I opened the door and noticed that Bella was leaning up against the wall. She glanced out the corner of her eye and saw that it was me. She didn't even look at me, she just walked on down the hall to the pharmacy. I had handled the past hour just fine, I just had to finish the day.
