I was running late, great first impression there. Jamie and I hurried along the sidewalk until we were right in front of the café. But I had to stop and calm down before I took a step inside. I was about to see the man that I had loved with all my heart and has a result, that love had turned my world upside down. The last time I had seen him had been in a court room and now we would meet again in a café in New York. I guess in an odd way it was rather like a soap opera. Well, it was now or never.

I picked up my purse and stood up from my chair. It was over.

I looked across the courtroom to see Edward shaking hands with his lawyer, Jasper Hale. It was no surprise to me that Jasper was Edwards lawyer, after all they had been friend almost all their lives. Angela, my attorney, came over to me then, "So nice work Bells, we didn't really good there and the settlement is just what you wanted," she beamed. I had no desire to take anything more than what was mine, and has a result everything had been split down the middle and Edward had no reason to complain. "So, any ideas on where your heading now?" Angela was more than just my attorney, she was also one of my most trusted friend. It was just an added bonus that she just so happened to be the best lawyer in Seattle.

"I don't know yet, I have some time to get it all sorted before Jamie comes to stay so I will start next weekend." I wanted to talk to Edward before he left. I was most likely not going to see him again for a long time and I would hate it if we left on bad terms, so I was being a little rude to Angela by trying to answer to quickly and escape. "Anyway Ang, I have to get going, sorry. See you later though, ok?" I smiled and then headed straight for Edward. He had finished talking with Jasper and was collecting his things off the table. "Hey?" I said to his back hesitantly.

He slowly stood up straight and turned to me. "Hi. Listen I couldn't bear it if we left on bad terms or not talking, so can we maybe put this whole mess behind us and be friends?" He looked desperate and I couldn't help but laugh. His face to slight shock so I quickly went on to explain and reassure him.

"I was about to ask you the exact same thing. I would hate it if we left this as enemies." We smiled at each other for a moment. This was it and we both knew it. I had to be the stronger one here and break the ties, so I extend my hand out to him. A quick formal shake of the hand, a gaze in the eye and I turned and walked away from Edward Cullen.

Never looking back.

I walked in with Jamie's hand clutching mine. I scanned the café and saw a face I hadn't seen in years staring at me from across the room. His eyes hadn't changed that was for sure. Emerald green sparkles. His hair was still the tussled bronze mess I had once adored. His mouth hung open slightly has he stared at me. I couldn't help ducking my head slightly and blushing, but still my eyes never left his.

I have no idea how long I stood there but after a moment I was aware of where, why and what I was doing. I shook myself out of my daze and kneeled down so I was Jamie's height. "Hey there's your Dad," I pointed out to him. He simply nodded and began to pull me toward Edward.

Edward stood up along with a blonde who had yet to turn and face me. "Edward." I said curtly to him when we reached the table.

"Hi there, Bella." He greeted with his customary crooked smile. There was a purpose filled throat clearing from the blonde girl that had Edward immediately shifting his attention from me. "Oh! Sorry, Bella this is Tanya."

"His fiancée." The Blonde girl inserted immediately. She looked like Malibu Barbie, and she was clearly eager to mark her territory with me. "So you must be Bella." She sneered at me whilst looking at me up and down.

This was not going to go well.

Review please and tell me what you think. Is there still something there between Edward and Bella? How bad is this meeting going to go? Thanks!
