Lucky in Love: Bella Swan's Story

Chapter Three: Do I Scream or do a Happy Dance

Last Time:

"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.

I was stunned. He was beautiful. Perfect pale skin, a body to die for, not to skinning, but not to built, and soft looking hair, that in the light look bronze. I wonder if it was as soft as it looked.

Then I noticed the smirk on his face, and snapped out of my daze. The jackass knows what was going through my head and he was entertained. Jerk.

I got up off the floor while he was still looking at me. So I cleared my throat. He looked like he was brought out of a daze too. So I raised my eyebrows at him. I wasn't going to be the first to break this silence.

"That was a very nice thing you did." He said with the most amazing voice.

I had no clue what he was talking about, and clearly he saw that, because he explained. "Your other chiefs, giving them an early evening." He cocked an eyebrow at me.

I turned away from him so I could talk. I don't know what it is about him, but I can't talk when I look at him. "Those two have been circling eachother for over a year, and this was just a push in the right direction." I continued cleaning. I could feel him eyes in the back of my head.

"So you like to play mach maker?" He sounded amused.

"No, I only like to play when I know it has a positive ending." Which is the way I like life.

"You know, sometimes not everything has a positive ending." He sounded so smug.

"True, not everything has a positive ending, but not everything has a negative ending." I smiled to myself because it was true. What happened four years ago, did have a great start and a horrible ending, but something positive came out of it. Sophie.

The guy didn't say anything so I think I won this round. I turned around and he was staring at me with a thoughtful look.

I really didn't know what to say. " So Mr.…" He just looked at me and smirked. Men.

"It comes to my attention, that you are the head chief, right?" I think he already knew this.

"Yes…" Who is this guy?

"Good, were going to be working a lot together." He look like he was planning something.

This got me mad, because I can tolerate Mike, but for some random guy to just come in here and think that he can scare me into doing anything, he is going to be wrong.

"Listen here buddy, I don't know who you are or what you're doing here, but let's get one thing striate. I do not take crap from anyone." Just then the kitchen door opened and Mike walked in, but I was not done yet. "And don't care who you are, but this is my kitchen and I do not take orders or work with people I do not approve of." Mike looked panicked; the guy just looked amused with his raised eyebrows. "And I don't think that for someone to just walk in here and tell me that I'm going to be working with them is a good idea." I crossed my arms over my chest. And he looked like he was going to laugh, Mike looked pale, and I was pissed.

The guy got under control and finally spook. "Are you finished?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Maybe.." I did not like this guy.

"Uh, Bella?" Mike looked like he was going to throw up. "Meet your new boss, Edward Cullen."

SHIT

"Well," I started "I'm just going to go crawl in a hole, and leave you two alone." I'm so fired.

"Actually Miss, it is Miss right?" I turned around to look at my new boss, and nodded. "Well Miss Swan, I would like you to stay. I do have matters to discuss with you." Fuck me. Can't he just leave me to my misery.

I looked over at Mike and he still looked like he wanted to throw up. This really can't be good.

I turned around so my body would face Mr. Cullen. "Shoot, what is this all about?" Like I already don't know. You're going to throw me out on my ass and say your better them me.

"Well Miss Swan, as you know I just bought this restaurant." I nodded. "And all day I've been trying your food to see if it's the food, or just the building it's self that bring people back." And here we go. "And I have to say that the food is incredible." Now that was unexpected.

"Wh-what?" I think my chin hit the ground.

"Your food Miss. Swan, was delicious."

I was speechless. The Edward Cullen liked my food. I don't know what to think of that. Well until. "But there is always room for improvement." What? Did he think he was my father? It's like he's reading my report card and I brought home a B instead of an A.

"Really?" That's all I could say. If I wanted to keep my job, I couldn't say anything mean, even though I already did.

"Yes, really." He had the nerve to smirked at me. "So we'll have to work on that." All I could do is glare. I am not going to work on my cooking with him. I opened my mouth to tell him off, because no job is worth this, being talk down to, but Mike cut me off.

"Bella, Edward is the owner and he knows what is best for Amore." Okay, Mike did have a point, but I don't like that I have to be nice to him.

"Thank you Mike. So Miss. Swan I can tell that we are going to get along perfectly." Asshole.

"Well Mr. Cullen, I can tell you that I can't wait to work with you." I gave him a big smile at the end. I think he knew I was lying because there was amusement in his eyes.

"I'm sure you can't, and I'm sure that well see a lot of eachother since I'll be taking over here." What?

"What? I thought Mike…"

"I'm relocating. Mike, here, will be moving to Chicago to look over my restaurant there. I will be moving here." I didn't know if I wanted to scream or do a happy dance. The scream is for not wanting to work for the Jackass, the happy dance was for Mike getting out of my hair.

"Well, Welcome to Seattle Mr. Cullen." And with that I left.

…

"Alice, I'm telling you that this is bad." When I got home I had to tell someone and I couldn't get a hold of Rosalie, and that's really odd, but then I called Alice and thank god she picked up, because I know that she really didn't have cell service in that little Texas town.

"Bella it really can't be that bad." She is so lucky she's not here; I might have hit her by now.

"Yes it really is that bad. I already made an ass of myself, and now he wants to work with me. I don't think there is any good in this."

"Bella, I have a feeling that this is going to be a good thing, plus he got rid of Mike for you." She did have a point, Mike is gone. And her feelings are usually right.

"I still don't know.."

"Bella look at it this way. Edward Cullen is not known for keeping the head chiefs at his restaurants, so that means that you are really good at what you do, so he won't fire you." I could tell she was so happy by this. "And if all else fails flirt with him."

"Alice! He is my boss!"

"So, is he ugly?"

"No, not really, he's actually really… hot, but that's not the point. First again he's my boss, second he would never date me. I'm just not his type."

"Bella stop right now. Fist of all your beautiful. And second I never said anything about dating, so does someone have a crush?" I really hate her.

"No, and he's a jackass I would never dream of dating him. I'll just figure something out." I have to.

"I know you will, and as I said before I have a good feeling about this."

"Okay Alice, so how are things in Texas?" I heard her give an angry sigh of the other said of the phone. "That bad?"

"Worse! Okay so the head nurse that I'm staying with is really nice, and we're already friends, but her son has serious issues."

"What did he do?" If I know Alice he did something really bad to get on her bad side.

"Okay when I got here, it was all good. I did figure out quickly that I couldn't were my shoes here, but that was okay. Then Lily, the head nurse, well she son, Jasper, owns a cow farm."

"Cattle ranch." I corrected. Alice is not known for politically correct.

"Whatever, there cows. So I learn that I have to help if I want to stay there, which is fine, but every time I do something, like bail hay, or feed the horses, he's just like 'you're doing it wrong' and it hasn't been a week yet. I don't know if I can stay her without killing him." This guy is in for the ride of his life.

"Well Alice if all else fails flit with him." I just had to say it.

"That's not funny." I couldn't hold my laughter anymore. So when I got under control, I could just picture Alice annoyed and tapping her foot. "Are you done?"

"Yes."

"Okay first of all. I don't think he goes for short girls and spiky hair, and second I just have to make it thought the summer, and I'm home free."

"Alice, do you believe that he wouldn't be attracted to you? Because your wrong. Is he cute?" I have to ask this.

"Maybe.."

"Alice…"

"Alright, he's the hottest guy I have ever seen. There happy?"

"Almost. Why don't you get to know him first, he could like you back." It was true, it could happen.

" I don't think so. Um..he thinks I'm Satan." What did she do?

"What happened?" This is going to be good.

"I might have stabbed him with a fork, but it was an accident. I was mad. You know how I get when I'm mad." At this I was laughing so hard. "Okay where done with this topic."

"Okay." I took a breath, it was just to funny of a picture. "So have you heard from Rose. I tried the call her, but she didn't pick up." It was really wired for Rosalie not to pick up her phone.

"I haven't talked to her since Sunday. But I had this half good half bad feeling about it. So I don't know."

"Okay call me if she calls you. And Sophie misses you two." She was so sad when both of her aunts left her.

"Aww, tell her I miss her too, Oh, I got to go. The General is in the building."

"Ha-ha, I love you Alice. See you soon."

"Love you too. Bye."

After I hung up, I went to take a shower. After that I put on my silk PJ's. This is one thing I picked up from Alice over the years. I called Charlie and talked to Sophie for a little bit. She was having so much fun fishing. Sometimes I thinks she's not my child.

After that I went to lay in my bad and read one of my many romance novels, but I couldn't get my mine off of what happened today. I didn't know what to do. So I turned off my light and tried to get some sleep.

The only thing was that I was dreaming about Edward Cullen.
