As soon as Christopher departed I followed. I tried to stop him but as always he ignored me. As I got out I saw him take a hold of Gabriella's arm I was about to go and stop him when I heard her voice.

"Let go of my arm, or you'll regret it"

Christopher didn't respond but I couldn't see his face.

"Let go of my arm!" she persisted. Then he responded.

"What if I don't?" I could hear the smirk in his voice. Was he flirting with her? Then I heard him whimper in pain. I chuckled she had hit bellow the belt. Literally. She then walked further away he caught up with her again. Still whimpering.

"You know it's a shame that someone so pretty, has a temper and attitude like yours" Yep, he was definitely flirting. Yet she didn't show the slight bit of attention.

"You know what's a real shame? That I have to work with someone as arrogant as you. Now if you excuse me a have a lunch to go to."

She left leaving a very perplexed Christopher behind. Then I heard a musical laugh behind me. I turned and there stood my own personal angel. She had warm, brown hair, and deep brown eyes. I was mesmerized. She looked at me and smiled.

"You must be Edward Masen," she extended he right arm forward, "I'm Isabella Swan, nice to met you."

"Nice to meet you too." I took her hand.

I was smitten never in my life had I met someone so beautiful. I had always had a preference for brunets but I think I wouldn't have cared if she was blond… ok maybe I would but that's not he point. Then out of the blue the pixie- like girl named Alice called her.

"Bella, we have to go Gabriella is waiting for us in the car. Let's go!" she smiled apologetic and said good-bye. She then followed Alice.

"Well," we turned to Carlisle, "I guess the meeting is postponed then."

Esme smiled warmly.

"Can you guys come back tomorrow?"

Just then Chris came into the room.

"Will Gabriella come?" he said in a pained voice. I tried to hide a smile and didn't succeed

"Of course she will!" said Esme sounding offended by the very question. Suddenly Christopher grinned.

"Then count me in"
