Bella's point of view:
I had just gotten home to see Jasper and Alice not there. I walked into the kitchen after putting my keys away, and setting down my bag. To see a note on the refrigerator addressed to me.
Bella,
Jasper decided to take me to dinner be home around eleven
don't stay up late and I hope my brother wasn't to rough on
your first day.
Love Alice XOXO
P.S sorry for not making dinner but we did order
you Chinese food should be there around seven
forty-five.
When I finish reading Alice's note I walked into the living room and sat on the coach only to have the door bell ring. I opened the door to see Tyler there handing me my Chinese food. He usually was the one that delivered.
"Hi Bella your total is twenty-five fifty," I know right the Chinese delivery boy knows me by name pretty sad.
"Hay Tyler hows the girlfriend," I was digging through my purse for my money. When it suddenly hit me. Alice Cullen I was working for Alice's brother. Wow...
"Ummm Bella the food."
"Oh sorry here's the money, have a nice night Tyler."
I grabbed the food from Tyler and shut the door only to keep thinking about Edward being Alice's brother. I wonder how that could, be. Alice is way cooler than Edward. While eating my food I tried to figure out how I could forget that Alice's last name was Cullen. I have even heard her mention her brothers before.
I had just finished eating, so I began to clean up. I blew off the fact that Edward's sister was my roommate Alice. It was barely eight thirty and I knew that I should get to bed since I had to be at work at five. As I began to do my nightly routine and get ready for bed I couldn't help but notice that Alice had already set out my work clothes, and my pj's. ( Picture on file along with there loft and Bella's outfit for her first day of work.) I had to admit that Alice did have a good choice in clothing, but I still thought I didn't look good. Alice always told me that I was beautiful but next to her I was just a rag doll that had been kept for years, never being washed.
As I changed into the black Victoria Secrets pajamas I couldn't help, but like them they were cute. They even had a little bit of pink on the side that said Victoria. The bottoms were a pair of boy shorts. He top was a low cut v neck tank top with a heart on the side.
I had put my clothes away, and then began to dig through the bag. Alice always was the one to go overboard in shopping. I began to take everything out of the bag to see that Alice had bought me a dress that went about two inches above the knees, and a pair of four inch heals. I was about to say no when I saw a note on the bottom of the shoe box addressed to me.
Isabella Swan
you will wear these shoes. And if you
dare say that you will fall no you wont,
and I will be awake before you leave,
so just to let you know I will be watching
you leave the house in those shoes. GOT IT!!
XOXO Alice.
Just reading the note sent a shiver down my back. As I put the clothes away and set my alarm clock for three thirty I was thank full that I was getting to bed early. For tomorrow was going to be a hard day.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I was never a morning a person, but I knew I had to take a shower, and get ready for work. I had just gotten out of bed when I heard the soft little knock on my door.
"Bella, are you out of bed." of course Alice would be up this early in the morning.
"Yeah Alice I'll be out in a minute." I put my white robe on and walked to the door to see Alice with a hair dryer and a curling iron which was never good.
"Okay Bella, get in the shower, then put on your bath robe, so I can do your hair and makeup."
I willingly got in know that if I didn't she would make me get in. when I got out of the shower outside the door was Alice waiting with a bag of makeup. The minute that she was me she pushed me down into the chair and started to blow dry my hair.
"Okay Bella I want you to go get dressed, and you don't have to put the shoes on yet."
As I went across the hall to my room I noticed jasper in the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Hay Jasper." I was playing my best friendly voice because everybody knew I was not a morning person.
"What do you want Bella." Ahh he knew me so well.
"I really want a cup of coffee and if I don't get dressed any minute now your girlfriend is going to murder me.
"It will be in the bathroom when your done getting dressed."
"Bella you better be in her in five minutes."
"Thank you so much Jasper."
As I ran into my room to get dressed, it was no surprised that I tripped over my own foot. As I got dressed I couldn't help, but like the dress it was really cute, and looked professional. As I walked back into the bathroom Alice was sitting on the counter tapping her little foot. That didn't matter thought what really mattered was that there was a cup of coffee next to her.
As Alice did my hair a sipped my coffee it was around four twenty when she finished it. I had to say it was very beautiful. I had very loose curls cascading down my back and a beautiful hair band with a bow on the side. Alice had also done my makeup which was very simple, just a little bit of eyeliner, and some mascara. God knows I didn't need blush.
As I got my keys and my purse. Alice played a perfect mother and gave me a kiss before I left.
(Right now I was sitting on my foot and now my entire right leg is asleep it hurts to move)
I had just gotten into the office with Edwards coffee, and surprisingly I hadn't tripped in my shoes. As I passed Lauren she gave me that look again like she was better than me and I was dirt. I wonder what this girls problem is.
I had just walked into my office and headed towards Edwards door. I knocked and wait for somebody to answer, and only walked in when I heard Edward say I could.
"Hello Edward, how are you doing this morning." Remember we were playing nice today.
"I'm fine Bella. How are you?" Wow he wanted to know how I was. How was I? How come whenever I talked to Edward I justed couldn't say anything?
"I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking. Is there anything else I can do for you."
"You are welcome. And you can also put the files into you computer."
As I took the files from Edward, our finger barely brushed making electricity flow through my arm. I pulled my arm back so fast that I was surprised it didn't brake off. Had he felt it to? Or was it just me?
Edward then began to give the files to me, but this time being very careful not to touch me.
As I was walking out of the office I knew something was going to happen, but the bad part was that it was me tripping over the office rug. I had dropped the files and put my hands in front of my body, waiting for the fall. The thing was though that it never came, about a foot away from the floor I felt a pair of arms circle around my waist, and the same electricity course through my body.
I knew who it was I just didn't want to admit it. I had turned around in the Edwards arms as he lifted me up. The first thing I saw was the pair of amazing green eyes, but what caught my eye was that we were leaning forward our lips about four inches apart.
Me and Edward were about two inches away from kissing, when Edwards door burst open.
"Dude you are not going to" Emmett then spotted Edward and I. "Never mind it looks like you two are busy. Or have you two just finished?" Emmett's laughter boomed through the room as I scrambled away from Edwards arms. Though the minute that Edwards arms left my waist I could barely feel the electricity that had been going through my body.
Emmett please stop this is non since. Bella, just fell and I caught her."
"Yeah dude and Rosalie married me for my brains."
"Emmett we weren't doing anything. Stop being absurd." I was collecting all the folders on the floor when Edward came down to help me.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah this usually happens all the time. It just doesn't make it better that I am in a dress and my roommate put me in the hells from hell."
"I have seen the light"
"What are you talking about Emmett."
"Sorry I just wanted to be in the conversation. What are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing Emmett."
I had just picked up all the folders when my phone rang.
I want to touch your body
You got to have faith oh
you got to have faith, da
faith the faith.
"Thats your ring tone Bella," Emmett boomed.
"No people put what song they want, but it is a good song."
"Are you gonna get that Bella?" Edward asked
"No, he's getting on my nerves."
"Who's getting on your nerves?"
"My boyfriend Jacob."
from the corner of my eye, I saw Edwards face twist into a picture of pain and then he composed himself just as fast.
"So you have a boyfriend huh Bella. Are you guys in loovee?"
I couldn't help the laugh that went through my lips. "No, we are definitely not in love Emmett. He's just there to pass the time."
I was leaving the room when I caught Edwards eye. There was something in his eyes I didn't know what it was, but I'm sure it looked something like hope.
It had been about seven hours, and I just couldn't get Edward out of my mind. I just kept thinking about how close we were to kissing, and I was also wondering how the kiss would feel on my lips. If just a touch made me jump out of my skin what would a kiss do.
"Hey Bella me and Edward are going to go out to lunch, do you want to come with us."
"Umm I don't know Emmett, I wouldn't want to intrude."
I looked over to Edwards door to see him standing there like the Adonis god he was.
"Come on Bella, Edward will pay for you."
"Umm I guess I'll come, but Edward doesn't have to pay I can.
"Don't be absurd Bella, Edward wouldn't mind paying for you"
"Yes, Bella let me pay for you I wouldn't be a gentlemen if I didn't."
"Umm I would feel really uncomfortable if I let you pay Edward."
"How about this, Edward pay for your lunch and you pay for lunch next time."
"I'm good just let me put these last two files away." As I was putting the files away Edward and Emmett went and got ready.
"Okay who is ready to go cause I am hungry."
"Shut up Emmett and lets go, are you ready Bella."
"Yes, lets go you guys."
Edward, Emmett, and I spent about an hour and a half in the restaurant that we went to just getting to know each other. Emmett was the funny one out of the family, and Edward was the motivated one in the family. I also learned a little more thing about Alice that I didn't know and didn't need to know. The thing was I never told them that I was there sisters roommate. I think its better if they figure out later and it would be funnier.
When we got back to work I had missed twenty one calls. Jacob has been really getting on my nerves for the last few days, and I was ignoring him before I broke up with him.
When we got back to the office we all went from fun to getting the job done.
It had know been five and a half hours and I still was thinking about Edward and me. Did he feel it to? I mean it wasn't just me was it? You know Edward is a jerk, well he was a jerk yesterday. Today he was actually sweet. What if I was falling for him and he was one of those guys? The one's that use the girls then throw them out.
Edward had just came out of his office and walked toward me and sat a stack of files on my desk.
"Bella I need these files put away and I wanted to tell you that don't have to come into work till seven tomorrow okay."
"Really that so cool." I was so doing a happy dance in my head instead of embarrassing my self in front of my boss. "Thank you Edward."
"Your welcome Bella, and Emmett said don't leave until you say goodbye to him."
"Good bye Edward." But the thing that was that as I got up to leave after saying goodbye to Edward I went to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. While I gave him a hug I felt the electricity go from my head to my toes. I then let go and headed to say goodbye to Emmett.
I had justed walked into my loft after my surprisingly good day at work. To see Jasper and Alice cuddling on the love seat.
"Hay Bella Bear."
"Hello Alice Palace."
"So how was work?"
"It was actually pretty good. Oh yeah Alice why the heck didn't you tell me that your brother's were Edward and Emmett."
"Well Bella, I thought that you knew you know. My name is Alice Cullen."
"Well Alice you should know that I am stupid, and forget everything."
"That just means that you cant blame it on me, because you forgot."
"Your an evil, short, pixie. Do you know that? Eviiiillll."(Just imagine the dude from Sponge Bob Square Pants saying that.)
"If I apologize will you forgive me Bella?"
"I don't know, it depends on how much you beg, which means on your hands and knees."
The surprising thing was she got on her hands and knees, and began to beg.
"Oh please Bella, oh please will you forgive me. I so didn't mean not to tell you. I just thought that you knew."
"Get off the floor Alice, and what do you want because you never beg, I know you all to well."
"What to you mean my dearest Bella?" Alice faking shock was a bad thing. Which meant two things. She wants to go shopping, or she bought me clothes.
"What did you do Alice? Wait? You know I don't want to know, lets just keep it quite maybe I wont figure out."
"Oh shut up Bella, I actually just wanted to ask you something."
"Oh okay Alice, shoot."
"Okay well you know my mom, right?"
"Actually Alice, I don't."
"You are so totally right. So would like to meet my mom?"
"Where is this going Alice?"
"My mom wants to meet you, and so I was wondering if you wanted to go to my house Friday night for dinner, and meet my family?"
"You mean the Gilmore Girls dinner right?"
"What are you talking about, Gilmore Girls dinner."
"Nothing office joke."
"Umm I guess, it would be fun. Emmett wanted me to meet Rosalie anyways, this is the best chance right."
I want to touch your body
You got to have faith oh
Oh you got to have faith
oh you got to have faith
the faith the faith.
"Oh my god, he really needs to stop calling its not a turn on."
"What Jacob keeps calling. Well you know you could just break up with him. Duh Bella its not hard, just be like. Sorry Jacob, but this isn't going to work, you can pay for the bill right."
"Well thats nice Alice just brake the poor kids heart. He seems to really like Bella."
"Oh come on Jasper if you were Bella what would you do."
"Well I wouldn't say that, and at least pay for your own meal."
"So when should I break up with him? I mean come on hes been my friend for years. Maybe, I could do it on Thursday, we were going to have dinner anyways."
"Yeah thats good, and you should probably get to sleep and there is leftovers in the fridge."
"Thank you so much Jasper you know you are the only one that can cook for me, and Alice is the only one that can dress me."
"Don't you ever forget that either Bella."
"I am going to shower, and then go to sleep okay."
"Yeah Edward gets you up pretty early huh?"
"Actually he is letting me come into the office at seven for now on. Cool right?"
"What hes already giving you a break, man he must really like you. I wonder when he is going to fire you?"
"Why would he fire me?"
"Emmett, said that he doesn't keep a secretary longer than a week."
"Well maybe I'm different you know."
"You know I think I'm going to start talking to Jasper, about my work like. Because apparently you are waiting for me to get fired."
"I am not waiting for you to get fired. I just know my brother, and he is very picky. Did you know hes only had two girlfriends. Sad right?"
"Well maybe he thinks that he rather would be in love that a relationship going nowhere."
"Or he is just so crazy that he thinks that the girl of his dreams will just prance into his life. What a weirdo."
When you look me in the eyes
and tell me that you love me
everything all right
when you're right here by my side
when you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
when you look me in the eyes
"Who's that calling you huh." Alice teased
"I don't know Alice I have never heard that ring tone before." I was walking over to my purse to get my phone when I tripped. "You know I think I like being caught instead of falling on my face."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing, nothing at all."
"Oh my gosh, it's Edward calling what do I do."
"Well I don't know Bella, maybe pick up the phone."
"Well thank you Jasper, for stating the obvious."
"Well here I go, answering my phone."
"Hello..."
"Oh hay Edward I didn't know you put your number in my phone..."
I had rejoined Alice and Jasper in the living room and was sitting on the sofa.
"Yeah its okay. I also like the song, its good..."
"Yeah well not a lot of people have good taste in music..."
"Oh no you weren't interrupting anything its okay..."
"No, I was just talking to my roommate. Then I heard the phone call, so I went to pick it up and fell flat on my face. You know I might get use to you catching me fall Edward..."
"Well I promise not to fall unless you are there okay..."
"Any ways was there a specific reason you were calling..."
"Umm yeah sure, are you asking this or is Emmett..."
"Yeah Emmett seems more of the donut type..."
"Well I'll bring them tomorrow, bye Edward..."
I had just gotten off the phone with Edward and saw Alice and Jasper staring at me.
"What are you guys looking at?"
"You were just totally flirting with my brother."
"What, no I wasn't, I wasn't flirting with him, I would know If I was flirting with him trust me."
"You were so flirting with him Bella, oh my god you have the hots for my brother."
"Oh shut up Alice I don't have the hots for your brother. Now I am going to go take a shower and head for bed."
I had gotten to my Apartment and was desperately craving Bella's voice. Emmett told me to call her, and just make an excuse to talk to her. Though that idea seemed rather easy wouldn't it be easier just to not call her and make a fool out of my self. I was getting really frustrated now. I have never felt this way about anyone before, and than Bella comes, and its just like... BAM!
Maybe I could make up an excuse. I had picked up my phone and found Bella's number and the pressed call. I don't think that I have ever been this nerves before. Nope never this nerves I could just feel it creeping up on me.
Crap she picked up the phone. What do I say?
"Hay Bella..."
Oh yeah she didn't know that I gave her my number.
"Yeah, I gave it to you while were all at lunch. I hope thats okay?"
"I know they are a little teenage group, but they do have some good songs."
"Are you okay you sound kind of weird, was I interrupting something?"
"You know Bella maybe you shouldn't fall until I am there to catch you?"
"Actually yes, I was wondering if you could pick up some donuts before you came to the office."
"How did you guess it was Emmett?"
"He does doesn't he?"
"Bye Bella."
You know something Edward that wasn't so hard. It actually was kind of easy. Oh god I'm going crazy, I can't believe that I am talking to myself.
Today was Thursday and everything was going pretty good. I had a breakup date with Jacob, and I was actually excited to get it over with. Emmett and I had gotten pretty close. I also was going crazy with Edward one minute he was totally nice the other he was a total jerk.
Everyday the three of us all went out to lunch, and me and Edward would take turns paying.. I hadn't told the boys that I was Alice's roommate and I was sure it was going to be fun if I waited till Friday.
"Yo Betty Lip Lock."
"What are you talking about Emmett." I had put all of the files away and was know heading back to me desk to look at Edwards meetings for the day.
"Me and Rose saw a play yesterday and it said that in it."
"Was the your favorite part Emmett."I was acting really crabby today and I knew that I was being sarcastic.
"Well yes Bella, yes it was." Apparently Emmett didn't know. "Hay so I'm not going to lunch with you and Edward today, sorry to leave you guys alone."
"Oh, well its okay I guess. So what are you doing for lunch instead."
"I have a meeting to go to with one of my clients, but I'm sure you two wont miss me maybe you will fall again."
"Shut up Emmett, that was an accident and you know it."
"Sure it was, thats what they all say."
Me and Emmett were throwing back comments left and right that we didn't even see Edward walk through the door.
"Hay are you guys ready for lunch or are you guys going to start fighting like real girls."
"Actually Edward I have a meeting so it will just be you and Bella. So you two love birds go out and have a good time."
"Shut up Emmett, its just getting old now." It really was, Edward just doesn't like me, how could he I was just Bella plain old Jane.
"Well are you coming Bella or are you just going to stand there and think it over."
"Shut up and lets go lover boy."
Edward was picking where we were eating today and I was paying I think.
"Hay Bella, I was actually wondering if I could pay today? Its a really expensive restaurant and I would feel better if I could pay." He was looking into my eyes and I was getting woozy just looking at them.
"Ummm, sure why not. You can pay if you would like to. Ummm yeah, okay." My goodness I was stuttering that only could be bad.
"Well thank you Bella, I would of thought you would of put up a bigger fight." Ahh he was being nice I loved nice Edward, he was way cooler then the other Edward.
"Oh ha ha Edward. So what are we going to be eating?"
"Well we are going to go to this amazing Italian Restaurant. If thats okay with you I mean?" Why was he acting nervous. I think I like a nervous Edward.
"No, its okay we can go get Italian I love it."
"Oh, well okay, we should be there any minute now."
He was right about the not taking so long. We were at the Restaurant in no time and from the outside it looked very expensive. Edward had gotten out of the car and was heading to my door when he did the most unexpected thing. He opened my door, he actually ran around the car and opened my door.
"This should be really good, I've eaten here a few times and I've loved it." Ahh he was so sweet getting my door, and helping me out of the car, and paying for lunch it was like we were on a date. I wonder what it would be like to date Edward. WHAT! I did not just think about dating my boss. Wow Alice was right I do have it bad.
"Well lets go then?"
When we had walked into the restaurant it was the most classiest place I had ever seen. Edward and I had walked up to the hostess who couldn't keep her eyes off of Edward and I just wanted to hit her.
"Hello how many are in your party."She was totally flirting with him what was I going to do. I looked over at Edward to see that he was looking very uncomfortable. So I did the only thing I thought I could do.
My nerves were up and I was ready. I wrapped my hands around Edwards waist and pulled him very tight to me."Oh all we need is two thank you." The girl was mad she was looking at me like she was about to jump me.
"Yes, its just me and my girlfriend today thank you though."AHHHH he called me his girlfriend. I think I'm going to have a heart attack.
We were walking down the rows of tables and I didn't even notice that I was still holding onto Edward like there was no tomorrow until he coughed to get my attention.
"You can let go now Bella shes gone."
"Oh I'm sorry I was just thinking I totally forgot that I was holding on. Sorry."
I think that we sat there talking forever and the waitress that came was totally unprofessional. I Had gotten the mushroom ravioli and Edward got the shrimp Alfredo. The whole time that we were talking we were in are own little world that I didn't even see the next person walk up and try to get my attention.
"Bella. Bella. BELLA!!"
"What?"
Oh no it was Jacob, and I was out with Edward. Yikes this is going to be bad.
"Bella can I talk to you?" He sounded mad I wonder why. Oh wait maybe it was the fact that me and Edward were about 6 inches away from one another. Yep that was probably it.
"Umm sure I'll be back in a minute okay Edward."
"Yeah okay Bella how about I'll pay the bill and meet you at the car." Thanks Edward make it seem like we are on a date. Thanks a freaking lot.
"What are you doing Bella?"
"I was just out for lunch Jacob it was just me and Edward."
"No see what I saw was you and a guy like practically falling over each other."
"Thats not true we were not. He just took me out to lunch. Its usually three of us, but today it was just us two." I was getting angry now how could he think that I wouldn't cheat on him. Yeah sure I was breaking up with him, but I would never cheat.
"You know what Bella, I don't know what your problem is. I have been calling and calling you and you don't pick up. Then when you do pick up you sound really weird, and now you are out on a date with some guy." He looked really angry, but so was I.
"I am not out on a date Jacob, and if you think that I would cheat on you then you have got another thing coming. The reason that I have not been picking up your calls is that I am breaking up with you." Oh my gosh did I just say that. "I didn't mean that, I mean I did, but I wasn't going to do it like this Jacob. I'm so sorry its just think that it would be better if we just stayed friends."
"Are you breaking up with me because of the guy in the restaurant?"
"Oh Jacob, no, no I wasn't it just I need space it not you its all me. I know what your thinking yeah right, but it is I don't deserve you. I'm sorry Jake. Please understand?"
"Its okay Bella, I get it so we're over?"
"Yeah I guess so." You now what I kind of felt bad for him now.
"Well you Bells, I have to go. So see you around okay." He looked hurt, this totally sucked I was not excited anymore.
"Yeah bye Jake." And with that he was gone.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter
