I woke up to my alarm clock making a loud, disturbing noise right beside my head. My hand shot out and blindly searched for the aggravating machine, once my hand found it I slammed it to make it shut up.
"BELLA WAKE UP!" Alice screamed from what sounded like the kitchen, Rosalie slamming on my bedroom door shortly after.
"IM UP!" I screamed back, sitting up in my bed. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. I got out of my warm, comfy bed and walked out into the hall way and out into the kitchen where Alice and Rosalie were already dressed and scurrying around the small space.
"Why do you guys get up so early?" I said, rubbing my eyes and slipping into one of the bar stools at the breakfast island in the kitchen.
"It takes time to look this good Bella!" Alice rolled her eyes like it was the most obvious answer ever and I shouldn't have even asked.
She pushed coffee next to me, and I gave her a grateful smile. Sipping my coffee and letting out a sigh of relief as the caffeine entered my body.
"How did your doctors appointment go?" Rosalie piped in, peeking over Alice's shoulders while mixing her coffee.
I froze and began to stare at my coffee like it was the most interesting thing in the planet.
"It was fine, Dr. MacArthur said it was nothing to worry about just stress." I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes and a let out a long breath.
"Well that's good, I was beginning to get worried about your chest pain." Alice said her elbows resting on the kitchen island.
"Yeah, it was no biggie." I added giving her the best smile I could muster up at that point.
"Alice, were going to be late!" Rosalie said, gulping down her coffee and heading to gather her purse and keys.
"Are you going with Jasper or you want to drop me off on the way to the shop?" She said already slipping on her light leather jacket that showed off her perfect body and putting on her black heels.
"Thanks, but Jasper should be here any minute!" She said and began to run around as well getting all her stuff together for her busy day at work.
It made me smile at how accomplished both my friends were, I was definitely jealous. Rosalie owns her own Auto Body Shop & Painting Shop. Alice owns her own partying planning business. They both got what they wanted.
I was working for a publishing company, I worked as an editor. I always wanted to own my own publishing company but it just never worked out my way, now I'm out of time.
Even their relationships, they got everything they have ever dreamed of. They're gorgeous and they have gorgeous boyfriends to match. Jasper is Alice's boyfriend, I've met him a couple times and they are perfect for each other. Rosalie is dating Emmett, he works for her at the garage and he also is a great guy.
"Bella, out of your dream world!" Rosalie interrupted my thoughts as she stood in front of me waving her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention.
"Were leaving alright, you need me just call me?" She said and gave me a hug before her and Alice left the apartment.
I started my day by taking a quick shower and throwing it up into a high messy bun. I pulled on matching black bra and panties even though no one was going to see them. I put on a high waisted skirt and a white tank top with a jean jacket. I slipped on my flats and headed down to my truck.
"Hey Bella, could you run these manuscripts down and photocopy them for me?" Jessica smiled at me and dropped them down on my desk. I was already annoyed with her and I have been at work for only a couple hours.
"Jessica, It's my lunch?" I said checking the clock and it said 12:00 pm.
"Well, I offered to show the new boss around so I can't do it?" She said and rolled her eyes at me and walked away, wearing a very inappropriate outfit for work.
I grabbed the manuscripts she left on my desk and walked down to the photocopy room.
I was standing by the photocopier waiting for it to finish and then head off to lunch, I was suppose to meet Rosalie at the Garage and eat.
"Bella, the new boss wants to meet all the editors so could you come to his office?" Jessica said her smile got bigger, knowing that she was annoying me.
"I'm doing your job at the moment Jessica, and then I'm going to lunch." I said rolling my eyes, sick of her attitude. If I only had 12 months to live, every moment counted even a small time with Rose.
"Well too bad?" She said crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Tell the big boss that I'm fucking entitled to my lunch, and I'm going to take it!" I said, grabbing the photocopies and the original manuscripts and pushing past her. I headed to her desk and dropped them on her desk.
"Finish your own work, by yourself." I said and smiled sweetly before grabbing my jacket and purse and heading out the door. I hopped into my truck and headed downtown to Rose's garage.
"Hey Rose, sorry I'm late." I said walking into her garage trying to talk over the blaring music Emmett was probably listening to.
"No problem Bella, 1 minute!" She yelled from the back and emerged shortly after grabbing her purse and her jacket.
"Do you wanna walk to the diner across the street?" She said as we walked out of the front door.
"Yeah, that sounds fine." I said following her across the street to our regular place.
We sat down on the stools and ordered what we usually ordered, Rose ordered a salad and water and I ordered a sandwich with soup.
"How's Emmett?" I asked while sipping on my much need coffee.
"He's great! I think he could really be the one!" She said practically glowing, as she started on her salad.
"Well that's great Rose, never heard you say that about any guy you went out with." I said as I took a bite out of my cheese and ham sandwich.
"Because he's not like any guy I have ever met." She said, turning to me.
"Bella, what about you?" She said
"Oh please Rose don't start, I've had a bad enough week already." I said as I turned my attention back to my lunch and tried to brace my self for the lecture about finding love from Rose.
"Bella! Your 22 and you have no idea what a good boyfriend is or anything about sex for that matter!" She said while she started to stab her salad and put into her perfectly shaped mouth.
"Rose! It's not like I'm a virgin, I have had sex with guys before!" I replied in a hushed tone trying to avoid peoples stares.
"You have had sex with one guy, and one time!" She retorted back to me rolling her eyes.
"So? One time could have been a good time." I said giving her attitude, I didn't want to talk about this right now.
"It could have been if it wasn't with someone inexperienced and unattractive as Adam." She said and snickered.
I slightly shuddered at his name. I dated him for about a year and at the end of the relationship before I went to college I wanted to lose it and just get it over with. It defiantly wasn't anything remotely what I wanted my first time to be. He barley even looked at me and just got up and walked away after it was over, I haven't gotten the courage to try again.
"Yeah, whatever Rose but not everyone has boyfriends like Alice and you." I said finishing off my lunch and pushing my plate away from me. I gulped down the rest of my coffee and glanced at my watch.
"Shit, Rose I got to go I'm already running late and I have to meet the new boss." I said rushing to pull out a twenty from my wallet and placing it between our two plates. I grabbed my phone and purse and put it over my shoulder.
"Of course, Bella. Go!" She said and waved me off as she placed money for her lunch down to and walked out with me.
I jumped into my truck and headed back to the office. As soon as I entered the publishing room where my office was, my phone started ringing.
"Isabella, Could you meet me in my office?" A man said, his voice was slightly familiar but I couldn't remember where.
I hung up the phone and walked down the line of cubicles and into the big open, all glass corner office.
"Hi, I'm Bella?" I said to the back of the office chair.
"Hello, Bella I'm Edward. Your new boss." He said as he gracefully turned his chair to face me.
I gasped slightly, quiet enough he couldn't hear me. I turned a shade of bright pink. That was the same Edward that helped me the night at the bar. The same Edward that put me in my truck and gave me a blanket that is now on my bed. The same Edward that left me a note that I have been desperately trying to find it's owner. I guess I just did.
"Oh great." I said I ran my hand through my thick long hair it tickling the small of my back. Just something too add to my already horrible week.
