Chapter Four:

Recap: His face moved closer to mine. His hand having already latched onto mine. My heart skipped a beat. His face was just inches from mine. I couldn't breathe.

"Bella…" He breathed. At this point I would have done anything he asked me to do. I was completely lost in his eyes. The electricity that was flowing between us was something I couldn't ignore. Thankfully, we were interrupted by some fellow coworkers walking in the break room. They were too involved in their conversation to notice what was going on. I took the opportunity provided from this distraction to move several feet away from Edward.

"I'm so sorry Edward. I shouldn't have let myself get carried away." I refused to look him in those gorgeous eyes that were slowly becoming the death of me.

"No, Bella. It's I who should be apologizing. I wasn't thinking. I should never have put you in that situation." The sadness in his voice was evident.

"Well, I guess we should be heading back to our desks now. I have a couple things I need to take care of before I start training." We walked out of the break room keeping a professional distance from each other. What was I thinking? I have known this man for all of two hours and I let myself get in this situation? I'm married for goodness sakes. I will not let Edward get to me like that again. This is strictly a professional relationship. Once we reached our desks, I let Edward settle in and put his stuff away. I sat down at my own desk and started following up a few emails that needed to go out immediately. I forced myself to keep my mind on my work and not on Edward. I was not going to go down that path.

"Bella…" I jumped at the sound of my name.

"Yes, Edward?"

"I'm done putting my stuff away, I was just wondering how much longer until we start." I kept my eyes down while he talked, afraid of the connection I would feel if I looked up.

"I'll be done in just a couple minutes Edward." I really needed to compose myself before I started working with him. After a few minutes I was able to get up and walk over to his desk.

"Ok, I'm ready, let me show you what the hell we do here." I was surprised at myself on how smooth my voice was. I was a nervous wreck inside. The day passed without any more problems. I was shutting everything down when I noticed Edward was still at his desk.

"So, how did you enjoy your first day?" I asked Edward while finishing up.

"Oh, it was great. I learned a lot today. I really am going to enjoy working here." His voice was quiet, muted.

"That's wonderful. You are going to be a great asset to this company. I can tell already. I have a great eye for these things."

"Thanks, that means a lot." He muttered something else that sounded a lot like "Coming from you."

"Well, I'm done for the day, so you can go ahead and head out. I'll see you on Monday."

"Oh, alright. You have a good weekend." He got up from his desk and headed toward the exit. I couldn't stop myself from watching him the entire way. I sighed to myself. This was going to be harder than I thought. I really had to keep myself in check. The attraction I felt toward him was too strong to do anyone any good. I would just ignore it and chalk it up to some crazy hormones. I picked up my bag and headed to my car, turning the lights off on my way out. Now… an entire weekend to myself. What was I going to do? I thought about getting a few errands done before heading home but decided against it. I needed to relax. I decided to go grab a drink before heading home. I called one of my girlfriends, Rosalie, and asked her to meet up with me. I always felt weird going to the bar alone. She agreed we would meet in an hour. I hopped in my car and started it up. As I was pulling out of the parking lot I hit a slick spot in the road and drove right into the median. Great, I thought. Just what I needed. I got out of my car and walked about to check the damage. Just my luck, my tire was flat. Great, great, great. I dialed Rosalie again; she was great with cars, but no answer. I didn't know who else to call. I decided to walk back to the office and find a number for a mechanic. Hopefully they could come out right away. I found one that was close, Black's auto service. I dialed the number and a husky voice answered.

"Black's auto service, how can I help you?"

"Hello, my tire has a flat and I was wondering if there was anyway you could come and fix it tonight?"

"I'm sure we can fit you in, but it will be at least three hours before we can make it out there. We are pretty busy tonight." Awesome, what was I going to do for three hours without a ride? I hope I could get a hold of Rosalie soon.

"Ok, thanks. I need it fixed, so I guess I will have to wait." I gave him all the information on how to get here and hung up. I headed back to the car to grab my stuff and lock it up. I sure wasn't going to sit out in it for three hours. I would just find some work to do in the office. As I was walking out I tried Rosalie again, still no answer. Damn. I grabbed my stuff and headed back to the office again. What was I going to work on? I finished most of everything before I left.

"Bella?" I heard a velvet voice call my name. I looked up to see who it was.

"Edward? What are you still doing here? I thought you left a little while ago."

"Oh, well I was sitting in my car listening to some music to wind down from the day. I guess I lost track of time. What about you, why are you heading back in?"

"Oh, my tire went flat. I hit a curb over there." I said pointing to my abandoned car. "I called a mechanic but it's going to be a few hours before they can get here. So I thought I would head back in and do some work while waiting."

"Are you alright?" He asked with concern in his voice. His eyes raking over my body to check for any damage.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just hit a slick spot."

"I'm glad to hear you are ok. Were you not able to get a hold of anybody to come and pick you up?"

"My husband is out of town for the weekend and I've tried my girlfriend, but she's not picking up. Hopefully I'll get a hold of her soon."

"I can give you a ride if you need one. I would be more than happy to help."

"Thank you Edward, but I wouldn't want to ruin your evening as well. I'll be alright."

"It's not a problem. I don't have any plans that you would be ruining anyway. Come on, just tell me where you need to go and I'll take you there." It looked like he was not going to take no for an answer. I sighed in defeat.

"Well, I was planning on meeting my friend at this bar down the street. I guess you can drop me off there and I can wait for her. You really don't have to do this you know."

"Like I said, not a problem." We walked to his car in silence. I noticed how nice of a car he drove.

"Wow, you have a really nice car."

"Thanks, it's my baby. I wouldn't know what to do without it." He opened up the passenger door to allow me to get in. I blushed with embarrassment.

"You don't have to do that."

"What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't?" He said with a smirk. I got in without another word.

"Now, where to?" He asked. I gave him the directions and he sped off. It was only a couple miles down the road, but it seemed like we just left work by the time we were pulling up. He parked the car and I looked at him confused.

"You can just drop me off at the door."

"I'm not going to let you wait inside by yourself. I'll stay with you until your friend arrives." He was opening the passenger side door before I had a chance to take my seatbelt off. He offered his hand to me. I took it while I got out but quickly dropped it once I was on my feet. I was supposed to be coming here to relax, how was I supposed to do that with him sitting next to me?
