Lucky in Love: Bella Swan's Story

Chapter Two: I'm might get Fired!

I don't own anything!

Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen, the man who open a little café in Chicago out of nothing. The same Café that turned into the biggest five star restaurant in Chicago.

Edward Cullen the man who knows how to make anything, the man the graduated at the top of the Chicago Culinary school, the man who cooked for the President of the United States.

Edward Cullen, the man that made his first Million when his cook book hit the New York Best seller list.

Edward Cullen, the man that owns seven of the best five star restaurants around the country.

Edward Cullen, My new boss.

Shit, I'm so screwed!

Angela must have seen the panic in my face, because she rushed to get me a glass of water. "Bella, it's not going to be that bad. Edward Cullen is known for taking restaurants and turning them into magical places." That's true, but not what I'm worried about.

I took the water that she handed me and took a big gulp. "Angela that's not what I'm worried about. I know that Edward Cullen makes places magical, but he is also known for firing the head chef and taking over himself before finding someone else. Angela I can't lose my job." This is so bad. I'm so fired, and that's only because some jackass thinks that he's better than any other cook.

"Bella calm down, I'm sure that it won't come to that. You've worked too hard to get where you are now, and you have Sophie to worry about, and you're an amazing chief. I'm sure he's not going to fire you." She smiled at me. If only I could believe that.

"Okay, I think I can believe that?" It came out more as a question then a statement. I wish Rose and Alice were here.

"You better believe it. You're the best cook I've ever seen and ate from, so don't panic. Okay?" She smiled again. I love her, she's so wonderful.

"Okay." I turned back to my station to finish preparing for the lunch rush. I heard Angela pull out a stool and sit. I turned back to her, while she reached over and grabbed and apple. I leaned back and folded my arms across my chest. "Angela?"

She looked up at me. "Yeah?"

"When is Mr. Cullen coming in?" Angela looked down and I saw that she really didn't want to answer me. "Angela?"

She sighed. "Don't panic." I nodded "Well, he's kind of already here." She cringed, then rushed to speak first. "If you scream, he'll hear you." Damn. "And don't worry his been in the office with Mike sense he got here, and that was an hour ago." Now I felt sorry for him. He has been in Mike's presents for an hour, and he's most likely ready to kill him. I would. A little smile lit my face, he could suffer. "Now it's almost time to start, so get to cooken lady." She said as he rushed out the door.

I turned around and finish what I started and thought about the poor man in Mike's office. I really did feel sorry for him, because Mike is a little creepy.

Okay did I say a little, I mean he is a lot creepy. He once told me that I could have double my pay if I just had a weekly visit to his office to 'talk'. I almost lost my lunch. I turned him down, but he still tries to get in my pants. That's never going to happen.

I cleared all my thoughts when I heard the first people from the lunch crowed come in. The two other chiefs have shown up and are ready to work.

It's going to be a long day.

Around eleven the day was finally over, and it really wasn't that bad. I did have to spend the day hearing all the things about Mr. Cullen being here from Jessica, and Lauran.

They are the most annoying people I have ever met, and there both sluts. So I had to hear about how rich he was, and which one was going to bang him first. Now if he goes for either of these two I will lose all respect for him, even though I've never met him, or seen him.

See the thing about Edward Cullen no one knows what he looks like. The only time people see him is when he actally works at the restaurants. Other than that, he won't put his picture out. He didn't even put one in his book.

What really made my day was that he never came into the kitchen, and the whole day I didn't panic once. So it was a good day. At my dinner break I called my Dad to make sure him and Sophie got home okay. My Dad was so thrilled to have a whole weekend with Sophie that he's going to take her fishing. I just shook my head. My Dad will take anyone that say's they like fishing, even a five year old.

I looked around at the mess that was the kitchen. That's what I love at the end of the day you see the work you put into something and at the end you see the mess, clean it up, and start again tomorrow. I love it.

Olivia and Tim, my other chiefs, looked tired. "How about you two head out, I can clean up." I smiled at them.

"Are you sure, we can help." Olivia was sweet, and I knew Tim was sweet on her.

"That's okay guys, how about you two go and have some drinks, and a little fun." I winked at Tim. He blushed and looked down. Olivia bit her lip and looked anywhere, but Tim. They were so cute. Both twenty-two, and had major crushes on eachother. It was cute. So I was surprised when Tim stepped up.

"Olivia would you like to go out for drinks?" I could tell he was nervous, but Olivia looked like she was on top of the world. Tim was a good guy, attracted too. With dark brown hair, baby blue eyes and a body that was shaped into hard muscle when he worked on a ranch on the outside of Seattle. Any girl would be all over that, but Tim is very shy, which is cute.

"I would love that Tim." Olivia was what I would call a Valley girl. Long blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and a heart of gold, she and Tim were meant to be together. Were he was shy, she was more bold, when she needed someone, he was there. It was so cute, and they been playing cat and mouse for almost a year, and I'm almost getting ready to strangle them, but this is a good start.

Olivia turned back to me and started, "Bella are you sure-" But I cut her off.

"It okay, you two go and have some fun. I got this." I told them. They both went and got their stuff. I turned and started cleaning up the kitchen.

"Tim, I'll be out in a minute, I just have to tell Bella something." She said. He just nodded and headed out the kitchen door. Then she attacked me. "Thank you so much." She said while hugging me. I hugged her back.

"Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything." I told her.

"Bella, you're a wonderful person, that's why I'm thanking you. Without you I would have never had the courage to say yes. But I do need some advice.." She looked worried now.

"What?" I asked softly.

"Well you know I've never been with a man…in that way, and I don't know if I can do this." She looked so lost and I was trying not to laugh. Olivia always came to me for sex advice even though she never has had sex before. She only came to me because I have a five year old, and her mothers throw her out at seventeen. If only she knew what happened five years ago. I shoved those thoughts to the back of my brain.

Too much pain for right now, it's in the past.

"Olivia." I took her from the shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Tim is not going to force anything on you, and if you want to go for it, do it. Do what you think is right and make sure he has condoms. Got it?" She smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Bella. You're the best." She hugged me again and headed out the door.

I sighed and closed my eyes. It's been a long day, and I just want to go home and have a mug of hot chocolate and read from the new book I bought last week.

I opened my eyes and turned and started cleaning up. I started humming to myself, a song that reminds me of my childhood, before life took a major turn.

"Clair de Lune?" I jumped and turned around so fast that I thought I would give myself wipe flash, and knowing me I slipped on something on the ground and end up on my ass.

I heard a soft chuckling. When I looked up to glare at the person, I stopped dead in my tracks.

Then I got lost in an emerald green gaze.

So what do you think? Review and tell me!
