I woke up the next morning at 8 am and just threw the covers back over my head. I knew that I had to work tonight and I was going to have to try to get some sleep this afternoon if I had any hope of making it through the night. Today was Wednesday so I only had two days of work left this week. (I worked Sunday night through Thursday night.) It shouldn't take too long for me to learn the ropes around the laboratory. I was really excited to get started knowing that I would basically be working by myself from now on. I would have some interaction with the nursing staff from the different floors of the hospital and of course I would get called down to the Emergency Room to do patient draws as they were needed. That's when it hit me and hard. Oh man, I will have to go down to the ER to draw patients which meant that I would see him. The gorgeous man that haunted my dreams all night long. And the dreams that I had last night were not exactly PG rated. They were more like X. I had only met this man one day ago and I couldn't stop thinking about him. How is it that he could have this type of hold on me already. I decided right then and there that I would have to stop this nonsense and be a professional. I could do that, right? I would have to do that! There was no way that I could get involved with someone that I work with, let alone a doctor. And besides, what am I saying. He gave me no indication whatsoever yesterday that he would even entertain the idea of being involved with someone like me. So that was it, I would act like the perfect Med Tech and just go in and do my job every night and stop thinking about doing the doctor every night.

I decided that now was as good a time as any to get up and take a very cold shower. I went to the bathroom and peeled myself out of my clothes that I never changed out of last night and looked into the mirror. Boy was that a mistake. I looked at my reflection and saw that my makeup was all smeared and my hair was just a huge rats nest of hair. I attempted to brush out some of the snarls before I stepped into the shower. It didn't take too long for the cold shower to get me out of the mood that had been creeping up on me since my dreams of last night. I decided to go out and do some grocery shopping this morning instead of waiting until I was done with my shift tomorrow morning. I knew that I would be too tired after my first night shift. So I threw on my favorite pair of tight fitting jeans and a curve hugging t-shirt and my favorite pair of sneakers. My hair was still really wet, so I decided that I better towel dry it and quickly run my hair dryer over it. When my hair was dry I threw it up into a ponytail. I decided to skip the makeup this morning because it wasn't like I was going to see anyone I knew. I mean really, here I am in a huge city with thousands and thousands of people that I didn't know. What would be the odds that I could run into someone. As I looked around my apartment before I left I decided that I would also have to go out and do some furniture shopping this weekend. The only furniture I had were the few things that I had brought with me from my room at my dad's house. I also had the couch and kitchen table that my dad had bought me as a house warming present. I just remember being so touched by his gesture. He also told me a story about how on my mom's side of the family it was always a tradition for the parents to buy their children their first kitchen table. He told me that it is one of the most important pieces of furniture that you can own. It's where you have all of your family meals and all of your heart to heart conversations. I smiled at this memory and wished that my mom could have told it to me herself.

My dad and I had gotten closer after my mom had passed away but he was not as open as I wished that he would be. After I had left Mike ,the afternoon I had found him with Jessica spread eagle on my bed, I had basically told him to 'Fuck off' and I left everything except for my personal items. I didn't want anything that would remind me of him. Lord only knows where they had sex and I sure as hell didn't want the table that we had purchased together not knowing if they may or may not have had sex on it. I left my apartment with my keys and purse in hand in search of a grocery store. I decided to walk since my apartment was in the downtown area and I figured that there would have to be some sort of mom and pop grocery store somewhere around. Besides, I wanted to make sure there was one close by for when I had to make a late night Ben & Jerry's run. Whenever I got upset or sad I would always need some Ben & Jerry's to get me feeling better. I was shocked that I didn't weigh 200 pounds by now with how much Ben & Jerry's I have been eating over the last 2 years. God how depressing is that. I'm really going to have to join a gym or start running again before my hips explode and then there's no way to stop it.

I had just rounded the corner about a block from my apartment and found a small grocery store that I thought would do perfectly. I stepped inside and found the few items that I needed in no time at all and for such a small store, they had quite a selection. I purchased the items I needed to make shrimp scampi which was one of my favorites and I knew that I could eat the rest as leftovers since I always made too much for one person. I also made sure to grab my Ben & Jerry's and a few other essential items. I paid for my groceries and headed out of the door. As I made my way around the corner I must have misjudged the step off the curb so that I could cross the road back to my apartment and I went stumbling into the road. All of a sudden I heard the loud screeching of tires and I saw my life, as short and pathetic as it was, flash before my eyes. Then I felt like I ran into a brick wall and was thrown backwards. I waited for the inevitable crash that I knew my head would make with the concrete sidewalk but it never came. When I finally opened my eyes all I saw was green. More specifically two green eyes that felt like they were staring into my sole.

"You. Saved. Me." was all I was able to choke out and then everything went black.

E.P.O.V.

I just couldn't sleep this morning. I had worked last night and gotten home around 6 am to my empty apartment. Oh how I hated my life. I'm sure that I wouldn't have to come home to an empty bed but I just didn't do that type of thing. Ever since I started at Seattle General Hospital I have had more nurses throwing themselves at me it's ridiculous. I don't think that they can take the hint. And the worst of all of them were Jessica and Lauren. I unfortunately had to work with both of them in the ER. Luckily they both worked the day shift yesterday so I didn't have to deal with them last night. Especially after I had just met one of the most beautiful women I have ever come in contact with. And boy did my mind think of ways it could be in contact with her. Oh, this was going to be a really long day. I decided to go for a run to try to work out my little, or not to toot my own horn, big problem that was growing in my pants. I changed from my scrubs into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and grabbed my I-pod and headed out the door. My apartment was probably not what you would expect a doctor to be living in, but I was not into all that fancy stuff. It was a nice 2 bedroom that I have been living in for a year now. After I got out of med school and finished my residency I was offered a job at Seattle General. I was tempted to work at Port Angeles but because my father is Chief of Staff there I really didn't want anyone to think I was getting special treatment. So Seattle it was.

I stepped out of my building and started out with a light jog to get my self warmed up. I ran about 3 miles and was heading back toward my building. I had just gotten to the front of my apartment building and was going to stretch just a little before heading inside when I noticed the beautiful brown haired girl across the street. She was struggling with her grocery bags and I thought of being a gentleman and running across to help her when I noticed that she was going to walk right out into traffic and didn't even realize it. I saw a car coming straight for her as she stumbled off of the sidewalk. I made it across the street faster that what should be considered humanly possible and knocked the woman back towards the sidewalk. As I did this my arms automatically wrapped around her small body to keep her from crashing to the ground.

I stood there for a minute just holding her when she looked up at me with these big, beautiful brown eyes that were almost full of tears. The she spoke "You. Saved. Me." and that was it. She had passed out. It was then that I realized I was holding my Bella in my arms. Did I just think that? My Bella? Where did I get off. I just met this girl.

"Bella? Bella? Wake up honey." Did I just call her honey? Oh I'm such a sap. I lifted her over my shoulder hoping that I hadn't hurt her when I knocked her out of the way and then I grabbed her groceries with my other hand and made my way back across the street. I did the first thing I could think of and took her back to my apartment so I could try to revive her there. I raced up the stairs to the third floor and rushed into my apartment. I set her bags down on the kitchen counter and made my way into my room. I laid her down on the bed and went into doctor mode. I looked her over, spending a little to much time looking. I didn't touch though because I was not a perve. I went into my bathroom and got a cold wash cloth to wipe her face to see if this would help to bring her around. I also grabbed a glass of water for her for when she woke up. I sat next to her on the bed and started to gently wipe her face with the wet cloth. She started to stir and then she opened her eyes. The look on her face was sweet as she looked up at me and then went into one of shock. She took in her surroundings and I admit that it must look pretty bad. Here she was laying on my bed with me sitting next to her and she hardly even knew me.

"What happened?" were the first words out of her beautiful mouth. I just looked at her and said "You were almost hit by a car when you were juggling your groceries and walking out into traffic."

"Oh my god. Dr Cullen? I can't believe I am so clumsy. Wait a minute. I didn't get hit by a car? Where am I?" she looked around the room again and I could see that trademark blush creep up on her cheeks.

"Well, first of all Bella, we are not at work and I told you when we are not at work you can call me Edward. Secondly, no you did not get hit by a car, but you did get hit by me when I was running across the street to push you out of the way. And third, you are in my apartment." I said with a little smirk on my face. I really like saying that last part. Yes Bella, you are in my apartment on my bed! "Here take this." I said while handing her the glass of water. She drank it all down right away.

"Not that I'm not thankful, but why am I in your apartment?" she softly asked looking down at the bed instead of at me.

I lightly touched her chin and lifted her face to look at me. "Well, you are in my apartment because it was the first place I could think of and it was close."

"What do you mean by close?"

"Well, my apartment was right across the street from where you were going to cross the road." I said looking at her confused face.

B.P.O.V.

Oh boy, can today get any worse, or better depending on how you look at it. Was this greek god with the sex hair and eyes that made my panties wet trying to tell me that we lived in the same apartment building. I admit that I haven't really seen much other than the inside of my apartment yet, but how could I not know that I lived in the same building as him.

He must have noticed that I was starting to act a little weird because the next thing I know he was checking for a head wound again and muttering about getting me to the hospital. "I'm okay Dr. Cu…., I mean Edward. I didn't hit my head." I don't think! "I was just realizing something. What is your address?"

He looked at me a little confused and said "Um, 515 Mariners Drive. Why?"

I looked at him and grinned "What is your apartment number?"

"Uh, 310. What's going on Bella?"

"I, um, well, my address is 515 Mariners Drive, Apartment 210." Holy shit I live directly under this man. Now is when my mind headed straight for the gutter again, thinking of all the things I could do under this man.

He looked shocked "You live where?"

"Yeah, I live directly under you!" Oh that came out wrong. "I mean my apartment is right down below us."

He gave me this crooked little smile that I decided then and there was my new favorite thing about Edward, next to his eyes of course, and his sex hair.

"Well that's interesting! How are you feeling by the way? Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

"No, I definitely do not want to do that. I have spent enough time there as a patient already. I'd prefer the next time I step in there to be going to work." I said with a smile. "Besides, it looks like I have my own personal physician tending to me these days." I wasn't sure if I should have said that out loud or not, but suddenly I was feeling really courageous.

"Well, looking after you looks like it might be a full time job." he said jokingly.

"Oh crap, my ice cream." I realized that I had left all of my groceries down on the sidewalk and my ice cream was probably melting all over.

"Your groceries are sitting in on my counter in the kitchen, don't worry."

I started to get up off of Edward's bed when he put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me back down. "Where do you think you are going young lady?"

"Well, I'm sure you worked last night and you have to get some sleep and I have to make my way downstairs and put my groceries away before I have Cherry Garcia melted all over my fixings for Shrimp Scampi."

"Oh, don't worry about me. I can go on little to no sleep and be okay at work tonight. Besides if it is slow I can always go take a nap in the Doctor's room." He looked at me like he actually wanted me to stay right where I was. Oh this was not good, not good at all. I felt myself falling for this man and falling very, very hard. How could I feel anything for him when I hadn't even known him 24 hours yet. I have heard of love at first sight, hell it happened for my mom and dad but has it really happened to me. I just sat and looked at him for what felt like an eternity. Yep, that's what it is. I'm in love.

"Well, I feel like I should pay you back for all of the free doctoring that you have given me over the last few days."

"Who said it's free? I believe that I heard you mention something about Shrimp Scampi. You know it's my favorite. Maybe you could make me dinner as payment?" He said looking hopeful and then cracking that cocky smile of his.

Yep that was the panty soaker. "Oh, yeah would you like to come over for dinner tonight? Oh shit that's not such a good idea."

E.P.O.V.

Why was she doing this to me? She invites me over for dinner and then backs out in the same breath. "Why isn't it a good idea?" I asked almost looking annoyed.

"I hate to admit this, but I really don't have much furniture in my place yet. It's pretty empty. All I have is a table, couch, tv and my bed." She said looking embarrassed.

Now all I could think of was taking her on her table, her couch and especially her bed. Keep it down big boy! I could tell she was uncomfortable with me coming over to her place until she had done a little more decorating so I thought of the next logical thing.

"Oh, well would you like to cook here?" I asked looking embarrassingly like I was begging.

"Are you sure it wouldn't be too much trouble?"

"No. Not at all. The kitchen hasn't been used much lately with all of the hours that I've been working. What time would you like to have dinner?"

"Well, I was hoping to get a nap in before work so how about and early dinner. Say 5 pm?"

"Sounds great!"

I helped Bella up and off of my bed suddenly making me a little sad that she was leaving. I showed her the way out picking up her groceries as we made our way to the door. She walked out telling me thank you again for saving her life and telling me that she would be back at 5 o'clock to start dinner. We said goodbye and I watched her walk down the hall to the stairwell before I finally made myself go back inside. I shut the door and then leaned up against it. I still couldn't believe it. I walked back into my bedroom feeling like sleep was going to overtake me at any second. I flopped down on my bed and realized that Bella's sent was all over my pillow. I also realized that right at this moment she was right below me in her apartment. Yeah, I wasn't so tired anymore. The more I thought about her in her apartment and then her in my bed I decided that I better go take a shower and relieve myself of my incredible hard on that had formed since she had been in my apartment. It didn't take long to rid myself of my problem until I got back into bed again and smelled her shampoo again. Man I was going to be really clean if I have to go and keep jacking off in the shower. I did make one decision though. There was no way in hell I was ever going to wash this pillow again. I curled myself around it and fell asleep dreaming that I was holding Bella in my arms instead of this pillow.

Okay, so I hope this didn't suck too bad. If it did, let me know so I can do better next time! Or if you liked it let me know that too. I hope the fact that I updated so soon will help with the reviews. I am hooked on this story and I am just kind of writing it as I go along. I'm hoping to be able to update every couple of days. That is if my husband and kids leave me alone at my computer! Please Review!
