Especially James' Lily Flower and jaxon22 for your very kind words and encouragement! I hope that I can earn a few more reviews from everyone after this chapter. It's a little boring but I wanted to get Bella through her first night at work! So here goes!

B.P.O.V.

We got to the hospital in record time. I couldn't believe how fast Edward drove. We continued to talk along the way like we had at dinner. It was easy to talk to Edward. We never had to force a conversation and even when we were not talking the silence was just nice. It didn't feel awkward. I could see myself just lounging on the couch on a Sunday afternoon with Edward's head on my lap. Me stroking his hair while we talked about work or our families. I kept telling myself not to fall for this guy. Every man I knew just hurt me in the end, so why was I letting Edward into my little world? I knew why but I wasn't sure if I was ready to admit it to myself.

I decided to just play things out and see what happened. I wasn't even sure if Edward liked me. I mean really, who would want to spend their free time with someone like plain boring old me.

After Edward parked his car I went to get out of the passenger side when I noticed that he had raced around to my side of the car and was opening my door for me. Did that really just happen? In all of the years that I had dated Mike, he had never once opened my door for me. He didn't even hold open doors at restaurants when we would go out to dinner.

"Thank you." I said with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you looking at me so weird?" Edward asked me.

"Well, honestly, I'm not used to being around a gentleman I guess." I answered him truthfully.

He smirked at me with my favorite crooked smile and said "Well, I guess you better get used to it."

Did he just really say that. If I had better 'get used to it', that must mean he was planning on doing stuff like that again. My heart started to do summersaults and I suddenly was concentrating very hard on where my feet were walking. I couldn't look back up at him yet because he would definitely see that damn blush of mine.

We stepped into the hospital and walked towards the employee lounge so that we could get ready for work. I walked into the lounge and went straight to my locker. I had already changed into my new scrubs before I went to work, so all I had to do was put on my white tennis shoes and my name tag and I would head to the lab to start my new job. When I was all done I noticed that Edward was standing next to me.

"I just wanted to tell you to have a good first night. I get done at 7am just like you so I will meet you back here." he told me.

"Good. See you in the morning then. Oh yeah, are we still on for breakfast?" I asked sounding hopeful.

"I'm game if you are. Why don't we see how your first night goes though. You may be so dead on your feet by the time morning comes that you might not be able to stay awake through breakfast."

Just as I was getting up to leave a snotty looking blonde with way too much makeup to wear at work came busting through the lounge door.

"Oh, good evening Dr. Cullen. I didn't know you were working tonight." said the slut from hell.

"Hi Lauren. Yes I work every night during the week just like always." Edward said with an edge to his tone.

"So who is this?" she asked.

"Hi, my name is Bella Swan. I am the new night shift Lab Tech. I'm just starting tonight." I said proudly.

"Oh, yeah, nice to meet you Bertha." she said. Oh she did not just call me Bertha.

"Yeah, it's Bella." I wasn't sure if I would have to spell it out for her. But I made sure that there was a little harshness to my tone.

"Whatever. Dr Cullen, I believe that you are needed in the ER." Lauren smirked.

"Okay. I will see you later Bella. Do you need help finding your way to the lab from here." he asked sounding concerned.

"No, I think I've got it." I said trying to sound assured.

I left after that hoping beyond hope that my night would go well and just dreaming about breakfast the next morning.

E.P.O.V.

The night was pretty uneventful. There was an abdominal pain that ended up being a perforated appendix and was sent down to surgery. I had a few broken bones, a couple of flu like symptoms, ever since the Swine Flu came out everyone thinks that they have it, and my favorite of the night was a nausea, vomiting, headache patient. This normally would not have made my day, but this one patient in particular managed to vomit all over Lauren when she was taking vitals. It was classic and it took every ounce of control that I had not to burst out into laughter. Lauren walked out of the room looking like she was going to vomit herself. I guess that she went to change because I didn't see her again for a while.

I did however see Bella a few times when she came over to the ER to draw a few of the patients that we had seen. The first time she came down it was with Kathy, the night shift Lab Tech that was retiring at the end of the week. She wanted to show Bella the ropes and make sure that she was comfortable with drawing blood. Bella of course had no problems whatsoever so she came down by herself after that. Every time I saw her I could feel butterflies in my stomach.

How could one girl do this to me? I knew that I couldn't keep thinking about her all night or I would go insane. My patient's needed me so I would have to snap out of it and soon. The only time I had a difficulty was when Bella had come down to draw the patient with the perforated appendix. She needed to get blood cultures and a complete blood count along with a metabolic panel. She had come to the desk to ask a question about which room the patient was in and when she walked passed me she accidentally brushed up against me with her breasts. As soon as it had happened my erection nearly leapt out of my pants. I swore up and down that I was going to have to switch to wearing jeans at work because there was no way that the scrub pants left anything to the imagination when Bella aroused me. I just thanked the heavens that I was wearing a lab coat that went down past my thighs. At least it covered my embarrassment.

The night seemed to drag on as I kept looking at the clock and wishing that I could fast forward time to 7am. I wanted to be back with Bella so badly! I was really hoping that she would not be too tired for breakfast in the morning. I just had to get to know more about her. After the story she told me about her asshole of an ex-boyfriend I could sense that she didn't really trust people as easy as she may have before. I was going to do my best to make sure that she could trust me. Even if that meant we had to be friends first. At least I hoped she wanted to at least be my friend. God, please let her want to be more. She was my angel that I have been waiting for all of my life. I had to prove to her that I couldn't or make that wouldn't let her down.

I was definitely glad at this moment that I had recruited my sister, Alice, into helping me win Bella's heart. And I'm sure that Alice would be getting Jasper involved too. Alice and Jasper had been married for 2 years now and still acted as if they were on their honeymoon. It was disgustingly sweet to be around them. Alice had Jasper wrapped around her pretty little finger and he would do anything she asked of him. This is how I knew that Jasper would end up helping as much as he may disagree with her cupid like ways.

I was then pulled from my dreams when an ambulance came barreling into the garage with a patient having a heart attack.

B.P.O.V.

Well my first night was going really well as far as I was concerned. I had came into the lab and introduced myself to the night shift tech Kathy that was retiring after tomorrow night. She was a sweet old lady that seemed like the grandmotherly type. After a little get to know you session she started to show me around the laboratory. I was familiar with all of the instrumentation already because it was the same instruments that were used at the hospital where I had done my clinical rotation. So basically she just had to show me where things were and what exactly my duties would be. She told me that it was the responsibility of the night shift tech to take all of the temperatures, do all of the daily and weekly maintenance on the instrumentation and perform the quality control for the day. She said that basically they needed to have someone here to be able to draw blood and run the tests if someone came in to the ER during the night. She told me that she was very surprised to see someone so young that actually wanted to work the graveyard shift.

I just smiled at her and told her that I didn't have much of a social life so it didn't bother me to be here at night and not out with my friends. Not that I had many of those. In all actuality I really only had one good friend. His name was Jacob and he still lived in Port Angeles. I told Kathy about him as we chatted about our family and friends. I learned that she had 3 children named Aro, Caius and Marcus and that they were all married and had children of their own. She told me that now that she was retiring she was going to spend some more time with her grandchildren and travel the world. She said that she had plans this winter to take all of her boys and their spouses to Italy. This sounded wonderful and I wished that I still had my grandparents around to spend time with.

She went down to the ER with me for my first draw of the night and I was very thankful. That mean nurse Lauren just kept staring at me like she was waiting for me to do something wrong. I mean gees! What did I ever do to her. I just met her a few hours ago when Edward and I had gotten here. Then I started to think about it. I knew the green eyed monster called jealousy myself pretty well and it hit me then. Maybe Lauren was trying to tell me that I was invading her territory. Maybe her and Edward had a thing going. I had a feeling I was going to have to watch out for her.

After the first trip to the ER, Kathy thought I could handle it fine on my own. I had to go back down a few more times to do some lab draws and I managed to catch a glimpse of Edward a time or two. I even brushed passed him one time and I saw him tense up. When I looked at him he had this smoldering look in his eyes like he could attack someone right then and there. I wasn't sure exactly what this look was but I definitely liked it! I mean who wouldn't mind being ravaged by this gorgeous man.

I was down in the lab when we got a phone call from the ER unit clerk saying that they had a patient having a heart attack and they needed stat labs. I grabbed a tray and rushed down to the room that they had told me on the phone. As I walked into the room I saw a male patient in his 50's laying on the table. He had IV's in both arms and they were doing chest compressions on him. He had someone giving him oxygen after every few compressions. My heart stopped for just a moment and then started when I realized I had a job to do. I couldn't think about the fact that this was someone's father, son and/or husband lying here dying. I quickly grabbed my stuff and went to work at once drawing blood from the man's hand because I knew I couldn't draw from above the IV site. Edward was in Dr. Cullen mode now. He was calling out orders like crazy but seemed to have everything running smoothly. He called out for the chest compressions to stop so he could check the monitor and feel for a pulse.

"We've got a pulse here guys. Great job!" he said with a smile playing on his lips. He knew that he had just saved this man's life.

"Bella can you get an arterial blood gas on this guy so we can see what his oxygen level looks like."

"Yes, Dr. Cullen" I said making sure not to call him Edward at work.

After that patient, the night seemed to fly by. Before I knew it I was looking at the clock and saw that it was 7:03. Yeah! I get to go home. Oh wait, I get to go out to breakfast. I had made sure that I drank lots of Mt. Dew all night so that I could stay awake and not have to take a rain check on breakfast with Edward.

I said goodbye to Kathy and told her that I would see her tonight. She waved at me and told me the same. I made my way over to the employee lounge and was surprised that Edward was already there waiting for me.

"I'm sorry! Was I keeping you long?" I squeaked out.

He just smiled at me and said, "No I just got here a minute ago. Are you still up for breakfast or did the night shift get the best of you?"

"Oh, I'm definitely ready for a nice big breakfast. Something has to soak up all of that Mt. Dew that I've been drinking all night. I can't believe I drank all of those. I really need to cut back on those if I intend to get any sleep tonight. Do you have to drink Mt. Dew to help you stay awake?" I said as my voice was going a mile a minute.

"Yeah, it's time to cut you off now." he said smiling and grabbing my hand to lead me out of the locker room.

We started to head outside but then I noticed that we were not heading towards his car.

"Where are we headed to?" I asked a little confused.

"We are headed towards the diner across the street. It is really nice and it's quiet too! It's not even a block away so I figured we could both use the fresh air. It'll be the perfect place for us to spill our little secrets to each other." he looked at me for a second and panic seemed to my his face. "I'm just kidding of course Bella!"

"Oh yeah, I know." I said. Did I really? He already knew what my biggest secret was, which was about Mike. I hadn't talked about Mike to anyone except for Jacob. But that was a special circumstance. I'm not sure how many of my secrets I was willing to share but something told me that I should trust this man. So I had a feeling we would definitely be getting to know one another this morning.

Okay, so I know it was short but I wanted to get a Chapter out this morning. I was up late writing and I finally had to go to bed before things started to not make sense. I am going to start the next Chapter today though and am hoping to have it out either tonight or tomorrow morning! So please make sure to hit that review button at the end! Things are going to progress over breakfast and I can't wait until Jasper and Alice's this weekend! I hope you like it and review!!
