"Oh, hey, Eddie!"
I looked away from her chocolate orbs when he looked from my emrald ones.
"Alice, how many times have I told you not to call me that?" I asked, exasperated.
She giggled, and said to the girl, "Oh, Bella, this is Edward, the brother of mine that I wanted you to meet."
I stuck my hand out in front of me. "Nice to meet you," I said as she took my hand in hers.
I'm not going to say that "there was a spark" and all of that crap from the cheesy romance novels, but I WILL tell you that there was something… it's very hard to explain, but there was something, and I automatically felt that pull that had driven me over here to meet her in the first place.
"And Edward, this is Bella Swan."
Bella. That was 'beautiful' in Italian. She was beautiful. Her name suited her.
"Nice to meet you as well," she said, and blushed. I smiled that crooked smile that I was famous for and I watched as her face heated up even more.

STRANGER'S POV
"Isabella should be at this party," my boss said in the phone. "Find her, and-"
I cut him off. "Finish the job, I get it," I snapped.
"Then do it." Then there was a click, telling me that he had hung up. I smirked, knowing that I had gotten on his nerves, and snapped the silver phone shut.
I scanned the room, knowing exactly what I was looking for. My eyes stopped when I found her.
The mahogany hair of hers stood out because it was the only brown hair in this room that wasn't highlighted. Badly, I might add.
Then I noticed who she was with.
"Cullen," I hissed. If anyone would mess up this for me, it would be the mop-headed kid, and I didn't have time for that. Isabella was going to be mine, and I'd be damned if that was changing just because of him.
Well, there was only one way that this was working. I smoothed my hair and made sure that I looked like a respectable person and not an assassin, and walked over to her.

Bella's POV
Edward and I had continued talking about everything and nothing in particular. He told me about his family, as I did. We talked about going to college. We talked about our love life.
Then a song came on that he knew, and he asked me to dance.
Smiling, I took his hand and he led me out onto the dance floor.
He settled for a spot right in the middle of the floor, and put his hands at my waist. I, in turn, put my arms on his shoulders, and we slowly swayed to the song, continuing our earlier conversation.
That was when someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Mind if I step in?"
I looked over Edward's shoulder, to see a tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes. I'd be lying if I told you that he was unattractive.
Edward looked at me for an answer. "I shrugged. Go ahead, this IS your party, after all, I'm sure there're other girls just dying for your attention," I said playfully. "We can finish this up later."
He nodded, letting go of my waist and stepping away for the man to take his place.
I smiled at him, and resumed my position.
"So, what is your name?" I asked, trying to start up a conversation.
"Mike," he replied after a moment. "Mike Newton."
I nodded. "I'm Be-" He stopped me.
"Bella Swan," he finished for me. "I already know." He smirked.
I nodded again, and we continued dancing.
At the end of the song, Edward came back over. Mike was pulling away and I stopped him. "What's your number?" I asked.
He smiled, and bend down, pulling my cell phone from where it was hooked on my strappy high-heel. He typed his number in really quick, and I called him so that he would have mine.
I smiled as he walked away, and continued to dance and talk with Edward.
A few minutes later, my phone buzzed against my ankle. I gave Edward an apologetic smile before bending down to get my cell phone.
Meet me outside after the party
-M
I smiled, and placed the cell back in its place.
"Who was that?" Edward asked.
I smiled. "My… friend."
He smiled, nodded, and spun me around. I giggled.
Eventually, Edward was called away because he had to dance with other girls. For some reason, I felt good being around him, though I had only known him for so long. It was simple being with him, easy. And I liked that.
Same thing goes for his sister.
"So you and Eddie looked like you were getting pretty dang cozy," she said suggestively, raising her eyebrows.
I laughed. "Well, he's a good guy. A good friend," I said.
She nodded. "Yeah, I know. He's cool, I guess."
"I like you, you know," she said out of the blue.
I looked over at her. "Yeah? No kidding?"
She shook her head. "No kidding. I think you might be good for Edward. I haven't seen him laugh like that since…" She stopped her sentence short, and I didn't press any further, knowing it wasn't my place.
