"I would just like a Chocolate crème Frappuccino," I said back. I always have the same one. My favourite. Just the chocolate fix I need at the moment.

"With cream?" he asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"Make that two." I stiffened. Damn... I would be able to tell distinguish that velvet voice anywhere. Even in a crowded shopping mall.

Does someone up their hate me or something? Or maybe someone up their loves me? I mean what are the odds of running into the exceedingly hot green eyed God twice in one day? Apparently the odds were pretty high.

After half a minute I worked up the courage to turn around. As soon as I did I wished I hadn't. Those blinding green eyes seemingly pierced into my brown ones and that dazzling smile was lopsided on his perfect million dollar face.

I opened my mouth to speak but Edward bet me too it. "So we meet again Bella."

My face betrayed me as I blushed. "It appears so, Edward," I replied.

Edward smiled and ran his fingers through his unruly hair. "What brings you here?"

What does he think I'm doing here? I stopped myself from bursting with laughter. "What do you think I'm here for? I needed a chocolate fix."

"Two chocolate crème frappuccinos with cream," we heard one of the Starbucks employees call as she placed them onto the counter.

I smiled and turned away from Edward to retrieve my drink and made my way over to where Alice was sitting by the window, sipping her drink.

"Brilliant work there Bella. You always leave then men wanting more," Alice congratulated me as soon as I sat down opposite her.

I shot back quickly, "Edward doesn't want more."

Alice took a long, dragged out mouthful of her drink leaving me in suspense for more of her 'oh so wise knowledge'.

"You know how Jasper and I met right?" Alice questioned me.

"Ah yeah. You were out shopping and decided to have lunch at a cafe where Jasper coincidently happened to be working at when some rude old man bumped into you, making you drop all of your TEN shopping bags. Jasper came jogging up to you to help you and then the next thing you know, you have a date with him for the following Friday then you quickly left the cafe without turning back." Everyone in our group knows that story.

"Well, see. I left Jasper wanting more," Alice stated, "That's the moral of the story Bella."

I started laughing which resulted in almost spilling my drink all over myself, "Alice it sounds like you just read me some children's book with a moral like in Little Red Riding Hood. Don't talk to strangers."

"Oh bite me!" Alice retorted.

"I'd rather not. You have Jasper for that," I retaliated.

"Pfft. You know what I mean Bella. Live a little."

I thought about this for a minute, "I am living. I just opened my restaurant."

Alice stared right in my eyes and said, "Look where that's getting you. You met Edward because of it." I couldn't deny her there.

"I-I don't know," I stuttered.

"If you don't march over there and give Edward your number then I certainly will. Then I will make fun of you about it at your wedding, TO EDWARD!" Alice said. Until my what to Edward?

"Don't have that confused look on your face Bella. I know it's totally going to happen."

I was stumped, "Oh and how do you 'totally know it's going to happen'?" Alice smirked and replied.

"This is coming from the person who believed that you will open your own restaurant."

"Point taken."

"Now get over there and give Edward your number. I DARE you," Alice said. I gulped and breathed in. I can never not do a dare Alice gives me.

"Alice why must you be so mean?" I whined as Alice wrote down my number and a few other things that I couldn't see onto a serviette.

"Cause I'm Alice," she summed up. That's all she needed to say.

"What are you writing?" I asked.

"Oh just your home number, mobile/cell phone number, address, work number, and even my number in case you won't answer yours."

"WHAT THE HELL Alice?" I half yelled.

"Shhhh... Edward keeps glancing over at you. Oh puppy love!" Alice said gleefully. Stupid pixie and giving up my personal contact details. I huffed.

Alice passed me the serviette, "Here you go."

I finished off my drink and went to stand up but stopped.

"You better watch your back pixie," I said doing the V sign with my fingers at my eyes then hers then fled over to the other side of Starbucks where Edward and his friend were.

I sat quietly in my chair as I listened to Jacob talk about his day and then we got onto the subject of Bella. Jacob thinks that Bella has undeniable attraction towards me just as I have to her. I don't believe him one hundred percent though.

But I do admit that we have possible chemistry. I need to get to know Bella Swan more personally.

While Jacob was talking I kept on stealing glances across the room at Bella and her friend, Alice. They seemed to be talking about something that did not have Bella looking too impressed.

"Edward my man. Are you listening to me?" Jacob said as he waved his hand in front of my face.

"Ah... cat's are great for snuggling up to in winter?" I asked.

"What the hell man? I'm talking about how to ask Bella out. What's this mumbo jumbo about snuggling with cats? At least it's not female dogs. Cough Tanya Cough."

Oh he was true on the last bit. But maybe I should get a cat. A fluffy orange one. "Ah right. What did you say about that then?"

"Well you need to be subtle but then again not too subtle, perfect amount of subtle. Just like the way the letter 'b' is subtle in the word sub-"

I had to interrupt him there. "Jake, stop using the word 'subtle'. I'm getting a little freaked out and confused with the same word. It even sounds weird right now."

"Oh sorry. Don't look now but hot Bella at two o clock," Jacob said. I started to turn around but stopped myself.

"Hey Edward," Bella started the conversation. Her voice sounds like honey; sweet and addictive.

I took a breath in. "Hey Bella."

"How did your day go?" she small talked.

I had to pretend like Jacob wasn't here.

"Amazing," I replied. Jacob coughed his acknowledgement.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry. How are you? I'm Bella," Bella addressed Jacob and went to shake his hand.

"I'm very well. Hey I'm Jacob. Edward's best buddy for eternity," Jacob went on to punch me in the shoulder.

"Well I have something to give to you," Bella said while holding out a serviette to me. I noticed there was writing on it, "It contains ALL of my contact information courtesy of Alice truly," she said. Her phone numbers. Brilliant.

Note to self: Do not lose this sacred Starbuck serviette.

"Courtesy of Alice?" Jacob asked.

"Oh Alice is one of my best friends. She wrote all of this down and told me to come and give it to Edward or she will tell everyone of this story at Edward's and mine wedding," Bella addressed Jacob but then closed her mouth. Our wedding? I like the sound of that.

Jacob began to laugh. "Oh crap. Come one. Twice in one day I say something like that," Bella said as she put her face in her hands to hide her blush.

"It's alright," I said. No it's not alright. I WANT BELLA! Stop whining Edward, I told myself. Well stop talking to yourself, I answered back to my thoughts.

I shook my head clearing it of my weird thoughts.

"Well I must be off now. Have to get back to Alice," Bella recovered.

"Oh shoot and I have to go and get ready for dinner with my parents," I said.

"Well goodbye," Bella said and began to turn around.

I smiled in reply. "Goodbye Bella."

I walked back over to Alice who was smiling mischievously.

"What Alice?"

"Oh I got your whole 'slip-up' recorded on my phone!" she shouted then bolted out of Starbucks before I could kill her.

I groaned and then followed suit.
