I woke up on Sunday morning ready to go. It didn't take me long to shower and get myself together. I knew what needed to be done and I wanted to make sure that it was done right. I would put them through some torture in the process, but my friends would thank me later. I was still missing one thing...an accomplice. There was no way in hell I would be able to pull this off without help from the other side, and I knew just who to turn to.
Edward.
It was inappropriate though. The way I felt about him, what I saw in him would not help me at all. I needed to make sure to keep my distance from him and keep myself distracted. I wasn't sure if he liked me at all or not, but I thought I felt an instant connection. Surely he did too. Regardless, it didn't matter...he was off limits and I would keep this relationship platonic...even if it kills me.
I walked into the living room to grab my purse. I had contemplated how to do this for a while now and I thought I had come up with a plan. Now, it was time to put it into action. I found Alice and Rosalie sitting there, watching TV.
"Morning, Bella. Somebody decided to sleep in today." Rose looked my way and smiled.
I smiled back and said, "Yes, it felt good to sleep in today. Especially since I've got no place special to be."
"Your not seeing Jasper today, Bella?" Alice asked me.
I turned to her, acting normal. "Oh, I'm not sure yet. I've thought about asking all three of them to come over, but I don't know..."
Just as I thought, the two of them jumped to the bait.
"That would be a great idea Bella!" said Alice as she jumped up from the sofa. "I think it would be fun to have a day where we could all hang out. I'm going to run into my room and get myself ready for company."
"You do mean Emmett, right Alice?" I called after her. I turned toward Rosalie as she made a face. She saw me looking at her and quickly smoothed out her face into a smile.
"Umm...yeah, of course Bella." Alice quickly locked herself into her room.
Rose stood up as well and said, "Well, I'm not going to stay in these clothes if there are people coming over today. I think I'm going to head on over and change as well."
Success!
Then, I put my plan into action. I really needed to speak to Edward, first and foremost. I didn't have his cell number and I couldn't very well call Jasper and ask to speak to Edward...that would ruin everything.
I did the only thing I could think of. I called Angela.
Angela Webber was the company's secretary, a very good one at that. It was her job to have everybody's contact number that worked for TeaseMe Entertainment. I knew she had Edward's number and so I hoped that she would hand it over to me. We got along very well, maybe that would add to my favor.
I dialed her cell and waited for her to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Angela?"
"Yes, is this Bella?"
"Yeah, hey Ang, how are you today?"
"I'm doing great Bella. How about yourself?"
"Oh, I'm doing good. Listen, I called to ask for a huge favor from you."
"Okay, I'll help if I can."
"Umm...well, it's like this...I need Edward Cullen's number. Do you have it?"
"Yeeeessss...but you know I can't just give out somebody's number like that Bella. I could get into a lot of trouble."
"I know Angela, but I've really got to get a hold of him...I went out with him last night, and I didn't get a chance to get his number."
"You went out with him? I thought he had a girlfriend."
"No, not like a date. It was a group gathering and he was there. I just need to speak to him."
I heard her hesitating on the other end of the phone. I knew she wanted to do this as a favor for me, but she didn't want to get fired over this either. I was putting her into a tight bind.
Finally, I heard her speak.
"Listen Bella, this is what I can do. I can call Edward for you and give him your cell number, with your permission, and have him call you. I'll let him know you need to speak with him."
"Oh Angela! Thank you so much! Please let him know it's Bella Swan, Rosalie Hale's friend from last night. Also, let him know it's urgent, but not an emergency. I don't want him freaking out."
"Got it Bella."
"Oh, oh, oh Angela, wait! You still there?"
"Yep."
"Please tell him to call me back in private. I don't want his roommates to hear him."
After a moments hesitation she asked, "Bella, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm just trying to play match-maker."
She giggled at that. "Yeah, you were always really good at things like that Bella."
I smiled as I recalled when I first introduced Angela to Ben Cheney. They had just hired him to work on the set, as a lighting technician, when he told me about his infatuation with Angela. Of course, Angela felt the same about him, so it was just a matter of a few phone calls before it was official. Now, they were going on almost two years and they just got engaged. I was so proud.
I told her good-bye and walked into my room and waited for Edward to call me. I really hoped he would remember me and call me back. I could feel myself getting excited waiting for his call. It would be nice to hear his silky smooth voice again...

"Emmett, get the hell off of me!" Emmett was feeling particularly frisky this morning. Jasper wasn't in the mood to wrestle, so he pounced on me when I wasn't looking. We landed on the floor, rolling around. He had me pinned underneath him with his legs, but he still couldn't get my arms pinned. Emmett was strong, but I was faster. I had a chance of winning him as long as I kept moving. If he had me pinned all over, there was no way in hell I could win.
"Guys! Get a room!" Jasper yelled toward us.
"Fuck off Whitlock!" I yelled, trying to throw Emmett off. I managed to move from underneath him and now I was on top, which wasn't particularly good. I was a lot lighter than Emmett too, meaning he could easily toss me, which he did.
At that point, my phone rang. "Truce! Truce! That's my phone!" I attempted to leave Emmett, but he pulled me back. I landed hard on my back again as I tried to kick him off. Jasper just watched on with a smirk on his face. Damn Jasper.
My phone rang again and this time, I quickly jumped off of him while he was trying to pin me again. Like I said, I was faster. I got to my phone and realized it was Angela Weber, the agency's secretary.
What could she want?
"Hello?"
"Yes, hi, is this Edward Cullen?"
"Yes it is."
"Oh, this is Angela from TeaseMe Entertainment. Do you think I could speak to you alone in private? Away from your roommates? It's pretty important."
"Sure, give me one second."
I made my way toward my room, getting a quick glance from Jasper. Emmett took that as his opportunity to attack him. I could hear Jasper curse Emmett as they both landed on the floor with a thud.
I shut the door to my room and continued my conversation.
"Angela? Okay, I'm alone now...how did you know I had roommates?"
"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I got a call a while ago from a Bella Swan. She said to remind you that she was a friend of Rosalie Hale's. She wasn't sure if you'd remember her."
Was she shitting me? Of course I would remember my dark-haired beauty...
"Yes, I know who you're talking about...what about her?"
"She asked if you could please call her on her cell. She said it's not an emergency, but it is urgent, if you could call her as soon as possible. She did ask for your cell number, but it's against company policy for me to give those out...so I told her I'd call you and give you her number, with her permission."
All I could think about was what could Bella want with me? I wrote the number down that she gave me.
"No, I understand the company policy. Don't worry Angela, I'll call her right back."
"Oh and before I forget, she said not to let your roommates know anything. She would explain when you called her."
Even more puzzling.
"Alright, I'll call right now then. Thanks Angela."
"Your welcome Edward. Bye."
"Bye."
What is going on? What on earth could Bella want from me? I didn't care. I was just excited to hear her voice again. I called her back and braced myself to hear her again. What is wrong with me?

I got everything set and ready for the day. I told Edward my plan and he readily agreed. I kept my voice straight and even, though I wanted to shout from the rooftops that I was talking to Edward Cullen on the phone. I put that thought aside and concentrated on my plan for today. I was going to succeed, I just knew it!
I put the next part of my plan into action. I called Jasper.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jasper, this is Bella. Are you busy?"
"No, actually I'm not. What's up?"
"Well, I was wondering if you and your friends would like to come over to our apartment today. The girls and I thought it would be nice to just hang out at our place. I mean, that's if you guys don't have anything planned for tonight."
"Oh, I don't think we do. Let me check though, hold on."
I could here their conversation in the background. Apparently, Jasper didn't know how to use the mute button.
Hey guys, it's Bella. She wants to know if we'd like to go over to their apartment to go hang out today. What do you guys think?
I could hear Emmett next. I'm up to it, how about you Edward?
Oh, sure. I think it's a great idea. Hey Jasper, tell Bella we said hello.
Jasper came back on the phone then.
"Hey Bella? Sure, we'll be over. What time would be good?"
"Oh, well, it's almost 1, so what about you guys pick up some Chinese food and bring it over?"
"Sure thing. We'll be over in a few."
"Hey Jasper? I just remembered something."
"What's up?"
"Well, today is the day that our videos should be out. I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind stopping by and picking up our copies for us?"
"No problem Bella. We've got to pick up ours as well. We'll stop by there first to grab the copies, then head out for Chinese and then make our way to your apartment. How does that sound?"
"Perfect. Thanks so much Jasper. Please tell Edward and Emmett that I said hello."
"They send their greetings back. I'll see you in a few."
Yes...my plan was underway.
AN: Review beautiful people!!
