The rest of the day passed smoothly, putting me on track to finish early so I could meet the girls at the gym for a work out. Well at least it was until I got an unwanted visitor.

"Afternoon Bel-la" Mike drawled as he strolled into my office once again without knocking. Oh joy!

"Mike" I replied putting down my pen and raised my eyebrow. I had learnt that it was best to not say anything else to him when he paid me an unwanted visit. I had made the mistake once by asking how can I help, what do you want and what can I do you for. Each of these questions starts something I never want to witness again, Mike flirting, badly plus a whole new range of pick up lines. Ew.

"So we didn't get much of a chance to talk today before the meeting" he told me with a wink which made me cringe internally.

"Mmm?" I replied, well more like questioned.

"How was ya weekend? I think I saw you at Breaking Dawn over the weekend."

"Oh great, just freaking awesome. "Oh, well I was there. I didn't see you though sorry" I wasn't sure why I was apologizing. I most certainly wasn't sorry I hadn't seen him, I guess I'm just too polite.

"Yeah I was there with Lauren and her friends, I really wanted to come over and say hi. Anyway who were those guys you were with?" he asked a slightly more possessive tone taking over.

"Erm just some friends" I replied feeling uncomfortable.

He winked at me, "soooo I was thinking maybe we could go out for dinner tomorrow night, maybe catch a movie?" he asked.

Oh no, not this conversation again.

"Actually Mike I have a date tomorrow night" I said tidying up the papers on my desk, avoiding looking at him at all costs.

"Oh with who?" he asked looking crestfallen.

"A guy I met in the weekend" I replied, "Shit, I'm sorry Mike I've gotta go, meeting the girls" I add looking at my watch.

"Sa-weet, catch ya tomorrow B" he said winking and strolling out the door.

Watching him walk out the door I shook my head, I wonder if he will ever get the message that I'm not interested.

I gathered up my handbag and rushed out the door to the lift hoping to not run into anybody else that I would need to avoid.

Fifteen minutes later I pulled up at the gym and rushed to the locker rooms to change into yoga pants and a tank top.

I found Alice and Rose on the treadmills and joined them.

"Hey Bells, how was your day?" Alice asked throwing me a grin.

I filled them both in on the events of the day including the meeting about a possible promotion for one of the staff members.

"You'll totally get that promotion Bella" Rose said.

"I dunno Rose, I don't feel like I've been there long enough to deserve one" I replied.

"That doesn't matter" Allie replied, "You work a damn sight harder than anybody else in that office you do deserve it."

I laughed, "Thanks girls."

The next day

I woke up earlier than I normally would on Tuesday morning to get in a run before work. Alice decided to join me, Rose didn't, that did not surprise me!

As we ran we gossiped out random crap until Alice bought up the topic of my date with Riley. I was waiting all morning for her to say something about it.

"So your date is tonight, what are you going to wear?" she asked all of a sudden.

I shrugged, "I haven't really thought about it" I told her wincing.

"Are you serious Bella?" she asked incredulously, "I know your not that enthusiastic about the date but you still have to make a great impression!"

She was right, but I wasn't going to admit it.

"You know I'm right" she told me with a smirk, damn little mind reading pixie. "Want me to pick something out for you?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, "That would be amazing Allie, you're the best" I told her.

"I know" she replied with a grin.

When we got back from our run I showered and dressed quickly for work in a black pencil skirt, a cream colored top with a lace over lay and black peep toe shoes. I pulled my hair half back and pinned a cream colored flower into the side.

Rolling my eyes at my flat mates wolf whistles I headed out the door and downstairs to my car.

I made my way to and into the office building with no mishaps and settled in at my desk to try and finish the terrible draft I had been trying to finish yesterday.

Honestly it had to be the most cringe worthy book I had ever edited, I had already made up my mind that I was definitely not going to let this book be published but I still felt the need to finish looking over it to give it a fair go.

By lunch time I had a stack of emails to sort through, an approved draft to re-edit before it could be published among other things. I decided to dash down to the nearest café to grab some lunch to go.

As I walked down the street to the café I heard someone call my name. Even in a crowded street and from a distance I could recognize that voice, I could never not recognize that voice.

"Bella."

I turned around to see Edward just a few metres away from me.

"Hi" he said when he reached me grinning.

"Hi" I replied breathlessly.

"Lunch break?" he asked.

Holy shit he's sexy I thought, taking in the perfectly tailored suit he was wearing paired with a dark blue shirt. "Ummm yes" I replied, wow Bella brilliant response.

"Same" he told me smiling, he must think I'm a total idiot. "Would you like to join me?" he asked.

"Yes" I blurted out, recovering I added, "I'd like that."
