Author's note: I am so sorry I know I said I would update day's ago but my little girl has been ill and because my fiancé isn't here I went to stay with my mother, who is a complete technophobe and doesn't own a computer. I got back on the 29th but FF wouldn't let me upload this chapter. Sorry again ladies.

My 23rd Birthday had come and gone. I had graduated college first in my class. I have an amazing job I love. A hot boyfriend who worships me. Yet I still wasn't happy. The truth was I hadn't been happy for three years. I hadn't been happy since the night that Edward Cullen shattered my heart. I had tried to fill the void with meaningless sex and while it is satisfying it only lasts a moment before I felt empty again. So there I was Monday morning on my way to work thinking about the past and what could have been. As I arrived at work I wiped the depressing look off my face before my boss sees it. He knew that look all too well and refused to let me think of him. OK so you may be confused as to why my boss would care, well my boss is also my best friend. I am an assistant to Mike Newtown, editor at Eclipse Publishing house. Yes my boss and best friend happen to be the gay guy I picked up in a bar to fuck Edward. We met again a year ago . . .
I couldn't believe I was so nervous. It was just a job interview. OK it was a dream job and to even be asked for an interview when I was straight out of college was an honour but still, it was just a job. I had spent two hours that morning picking out a professional yet friendly outfit to wear and generally getting ready. I asked myself mock questions and answered them. I practiced my smile. I did everything I could to make sure I was as prepared as possible. Of course all that went flying out the fucking window as soon as I entered the building. I filled in the paperwork the secretary gave me and waited for my name to be called. I was waiting an hour and a half before it was finally my turn. When I walked into the office of my potential boss I nearly fainted. There sitting behind the desk looking straight at me with a look of recognition was Mike. As in Mike from the bar that saw mw rat-assed. As in Mike that had to help me home. As in Mike that I tried to pimp out to my ex. Well that's me fucked. "Bella?" he asked.
"Yea Mike. It's me"
"What are you doing in Phoenix last time I saw you, you were in New Hampshire getting over a gay boyfriend,"
"Well I couldn't handle being around him and my mother lives here so I transferred to finish college and now well here I am." There was an awkward silence; I had never been one for awkward silences so I blurted out "It's OK if you don't want to hire me after the last time saw me. I know I was shit-faced." To my surprise he started laughing.
"Oh that just wants to make me hire you even more. We had fun and I need that if we are going to work closely otherwise I would have to kill myself and we wouldn't want the world to be devoid of me now would we?" I couldn't help laughing at his response, it was so unexpected. "So here's the deal Bella, here's the job. I need someone I can have a laugh with. That's you. I need someone who is qualified. That's you. I need someone who is committed. That's who. I need someone who is passionate about literature. That's you. Any questions?" All I could do was shake my head in shock. "Well then welcome to the company"
That was that I became his assistant that day and had been ever since. I would have liked to eventually become an editor but I would work up to that and learn the ways of the publishing world. "Baby girl, how was the weekend?" Mike asked as he caught sight of me.
"Shouldn't I ask you that question? Last thing I saw of you Friday night was your hand on some hot guys cock" I said with a smirk.
"Well Tyler did have a glorious cock I couldn't help myself. It is so big and thick and pretty and I am going to marry it" he said dreamily.
"Riiiiight okie-dokie. Well while you carry on dreaming about cock I am going to get us some coffee."
