Beepbeepbeepbeepbeep!

I looked at the alarm clock, to see the numbers reading 8:45. "Oh, shit!" I have to be at the office in fifteen minutes. Not good.

My name is Edward Cullen, and I co-own the multi-millionaire company, Cullen intl, with my twin sister Alice's fiancé, Jasper. We make computer programs and software. It started out as something to do in our free time whilst we were in Dartmouth. Yes, creating computer software for fun in our free time. What can I say? We were, and still are, nerds. Anyway, now it's a worldwide business with branches all over the world, earning me over a million pounds a year. Not that I'm bothered by that.

"Eddie, where are you going? You wouldn't leave little old me here on my own in this big, scary bed, would you?" my girlfriend Tanya purred. Fuck, she's so annoying. Tanya was one of those girls that had bleached blond hair with bad, dark roots showing through. She is never without makeup or heeled shoes, and I'm pretty sure her breasts are fake. They feel like they are, anyway.

"Work, Tanya. You know, where people earn a living? And it's Edward, not Eddie." I said bluntly. I know I sounded mean, but sometimes I wonder how I ended up with her.

I grabbed a shirt, praying it was ironed, and put on some black slacks. I didn't even bother with my mess of stupid hair, it was a lost cause. Smart enough for work, I thought. Well, I own the damn company, so I can turn up however the fuck I want, I decided.

"You can leave now, Tanya." I sighed, storming out the house and heading for my baby, my Aston Martin Vanquish, more beautiful than any girl. And much less emotional... I thought, upon hearing Tanya crying crocodile tears.

I looked at the clock again, only to see that it was 9:05. Oh, for crying out loud! Jasper's going to be pissed. Today of all days, we have a meeting with Apple, they want us to make them a new program for their new MacBook, and are offering, well... a hell of a lot of money.

Barging into the reception, without even bothering to say hello to little old Mrs Cope, I ran up the stairs, not being patient enough to wait for the elavator, and stormed into Jasper's office. By now, it was 9:15. I was covered in sweat, and probably stank. Great. I'm sure to make an awesome impression now.

"Where the fuck have you been, man! You're, like... fuck! So late! An Apple associate will be here in like... three minutes!" Jasper ranted.

"Sorry, man." I sighed.

"if I wasn't in love with your sister, why I'd-"

"Um, sorry to interrupt, Mr Whitlock, Mr Cullen, but Mr Jenks is here from Apple Inc." Mrs Cope said politely. She was a nice old woman on the whole, carried some extra weight around her middle, but it suited her.


The meeting went... okay. Jasper thinks we've got it in the bag. I, however, am not sure. Fuck my life. I never thought someone that was a millionaire could be so damn miserable.

"I'll be off, Jasper. Mom wants me to go for dinner, some shit about meeting new neighbours."

"Oh, cool. Tell them I say hi. Oh, and could you remind them not to tell Ali my surprise date night? You know what your dad's like."

"Yeah, sure. Whatever." What am I? A millionaire messenger boy?


"Edward, when are you going to bring home a girlfriend? Emmett's married to Rose, Alice and Jasper are engaged. When will you find someone?" Mom asked. I nearly spat out my drink. Sure, there's Tanya. But she's more of a... fuck buddy, to be blunt. I never have been, and never will be, a one woman guy. Who wants one when you can have the lot?

"Ah, Esme. Leave the poor boy alone."

I shot dad a thankful look. He's the only one I've told about Tanya, only because I want to know how the fuck to get rid of her. I know she only wants my money. If only I could look how I did in Dartmouth, I thought to myself, that'd send her running for the hills. God, I was such a dork. Admittedly, I still am, but what chick digs a fully grown man that wears Star Wars pyjamas?

"I was just wondering, Carlisle, that's all. I want to be young enough to chase after my grandkids!" This time, I really did spit out my drink. Kids?

"Uhh... gee, Mom... that's, um... a bit forward, don't you think?"

"No, not at all! You're twenty-two, Edward. Don't you think you should find a girl? Settle down, and-"

Ding dong!

Ah, great. Saved by the bell.

"Hi!" Mom exclaimed. Why are some people so damn chipper? "I'm Esme, this is my husband Carlisle, and my son, Edward."

"Chief Swan, but you can call me Charlie." He smiled. He had a slightly aged face, the main feature of which was a moustache. His hair line was receding, but he had a very happy look about him.

Over dinner, we learned that Charlie had moved here from Seattle, because he had been offered chief of police here in Forks, and it was an offer he claimed he 'couldn't refuse'. He was divorced many years ago, and since then, has lived on his own with his dog, Jake, I think he said. He said he had a daughter, but I didn't bother to listen to her name. He hadn't seen her since she was 14. All in all, he seemed an alright guy, not that I gave a shit. I'd never speak to him again probably, what with my house being on the other side of town.

"Anyway, I better be off." Charlie announced at 10:30pm. "I have to work an early shift tomorrow, and I gotta make a good impression!"

As soon as my head hit the pillow that night, I drifted off straight away, and had a nightmare about spending the rest of my life with Tanya. I guess it's because the bed still stank of her cheap perfume. My name is Edward Cullen, I'm probably one of the richest men in Washington, and I am still unable to settle down.
