Thank you all for your reviews your are great! Here is another chapter, I hope you like it.

I woke up at the sound of my alarm clock, I hadn't slept a lot but I felt rested, I stretch and yawned and got my phone that was still under my pillow. I reread all the text's Edward had sent me the night before, especially that last one. I couldn't contain myself with happiness, I wanted to opened my window and shout so that everyone could hear: «He loves me!»… Edward had told me he loved me…I felt I was floating, I felt I could take the world and accomplish the impossible…how amazing was the feeling of love and being loved. Especially when the person in question was a god like Edward, I was still in awe due to the fact that a man like that could possibly love me. Me?

If anybody found out they would definitely understand why I loved him that would be obvious, but I was sure that no one would understand why he felt the same for me.

I laid there and remembered all that had happened the day before; I almost died when Edward showed at the restaurant where I was with my mom and Phil, and the way he introduced himself…my mom was delighted…and when he took me to that room…God! I thought my body would literally burst into flames, because every inch of me burned with the desire I felt for him. The way he touched me…his hands on my bare skin…his body against mine…I wanted him…it was insane.

It was wonderful to see the way he reacted to me…on that room he was as hungry for me as I was for him. The sound of his groan made body react in a way that made me forget everything. But I knew that from now on, things would change… he felt that he was taking advantage of me because he was older and my teacher.

I understood his point of view, and I had promised I would behave, but he just made it so easy for me to tease him…it was so funny and when he acted all responsible and adult it made me want to tease him even more. Last night after I got home we kind of agreed to make this little game to get to know each other better. And that's how we ended up saying «I love you». I missed him so much it was like a part of me was missing.

I couldn't imagine my life without him, but I knew that all odds were against us, his family had taken the news about me very well, but I knew that mine would react in a very different way. It scared me when I thought about the consequences that our relationship could bring to Edward's life, the last thing I wanted was to cause him any kind of trouble. But today I was not going to dwell on those thoughts, I was happy.

I got up, showered, did my hair and was in the middle of deciding what to wear when Renée knocked on my door.

"Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?"

"Hey, mom. Yes I did."

"Not sure what to wear for your first day?"

"Yeah…I really don't know what to wear."- Ok, it was a little lie, so I was not worried about my new job…I was more concerned about looking beautiful for the man I loved. I don't see a problem with that.

"Well, I think I know just the thing…"- She walked out and returned with this beautiful smocked, off the shoulders top, it was dark blue with white floral print and it was smocked at the neckline, bottom hem and cuffs that were elbow length.-"I bought this the other day and I was just waiting for the right time to give it to you. I think today is the perfect time."

"Oh, mom it is beautiful, thank you."- We hugged and got all emotional, and then started to laugh at how silly we looked.

"I'm so proud of you, Bella. I can't believe you are going to be working with people like Alice and Rosalie."

"Alice and Rosalie? You sound like you are talking about two friends?"- My mom had not only met Edward but also Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmet. It was all part of Edward's plan. My mom was captivated by all of them. On our way back home from the restaurant she kept talking and talking about all of them filled with enthusiasm.

"Well, they are so nice. I had such a wonderful time talking with them; you wouldn't say they were two of the most renowned fashion designers. And their fiancés, my God, they were both so gorgeous, and your teacher, my God, he is like a god. Did you see all the women eyeing him at the restaurant? I can't believe he is a teacher, he should on the cover of some magazine…he is just perfect, everything about him is just breath taking. How can you concentrate in class?"

"It takes a lot effort. But it helps that he has an amazing teaching method."

"If I had a teacher like that I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all, or I would concentrate only on him."- It was kind of weird to listen to my mom talk about Edward like that; I had to admit I felt very possessive about him.-"I bet all the girls in school have a crush on him."

"You have no idea; at the end of each class they all just surround him with questions just to be close to him."

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Do you have a crush on him?"- What was a right answer for that?

"No."- Well, it wasn't a lie what I felt for Edward wasn't a crush, it was much more intense than that.

"Good, focus on your studying."- I felt that this was a good opportunity to plant a little seed on Renée's mind.

"Well, I do finding him very interesting; he is so much more than just a good looking man. I had the chance to get to know him better because I interviewed him for the school's paper. Do you know he is a kind of genius? He graduated college at eighteen; it is amazing to talk to him."

"Really?"

"Yeah…It is just so easy to talk to him, and we actually have a lot in common…"- The seed was now on the ground, and it need a little water to start growing.-"You know since you started dating Phil, I kind of started thinking about how that actually made sense, because you are so full of life and young minded. And that made me think about my lousy dating life, do you think it is possible that I don't date because deep down I'm so much older than the boys my age?"- My mom thought about what I said for awhile, I knew that this was enough to have her consider the idea of me dating older guys.

"I never really thought about that."- And she hugged me tightly.-"Bella, you might have a point, that is very possible. I can image why that a seventeen year old boy is not able to keep you interested. Hum…"

"Maybe I should ask Mr. Cullen out on a date? We could double date… me with my older man and you with your younger one."- My mom looked at me in surprised and then she laughed and I laughed with her.

"I thought you didn't have a crush on him?"

"I don't but I do have eyes, and he is definitely the most handsome man I ever met."

"You got that right. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"I don't really know."

"Get dressed and come down to the kitchen for breakfast."

My mom left and I got dressed, with my new top and jeans, and I prayed that my conversation with my mom would help her to open her mind to new possibilities.

We had breakfast and ended up talking more about Edward and his family, and about my new job. She was very happy and proud about that.

I drove to school admiring another sunny day, and wondering if my secret admirer would have left me another present. I parked and walked to the building and Jessica and Angela were waiting for me at the door.

"Hi, Bella."

"Hi, how are you today?"

"Oh my God, that top is so beautiful. You look great."-Jessica said.

"Thanks, it was a gift from my mom."

"Come, your admirer left you another gift."- Angela said.

"Really? I wonder who he is."- I knew exactly who it was, but it was kind of funny to see my friend's reaction.

We walked inside and taped to my locker there was a package, and I carefully unwrapped it, inside there was a novel from one of my favorite authors. It was Anthony Masen's new novel, I had being dying to read it, but didn't had a chance to buy it.

"A book? What kind of gift is that?"- Jessica asked.

"The kind I love, Jessica."- Edward knew how I love to read, I wondered how he knew I liked this author, I didn't remember tell him that.

"So that means this is someone who knows what you like."- Angela said.

"Well, that's not very hard to know, Bella is always carrying books around."

"You're right Jessica, anyone would know that. I can't believe we haven't found out who it is."

The bell rang and we went to class, I sat next to Jacob but we didn't talk or looked at each other. I hated this, he had been my friend since forever, and I did not want to lose that. All throughout the morning we acted like that, I had no idea what to do, to get my friend back.

At lunch time we all sat on our usual table, I got my food and sat down and got my new book, I was anxious to start reading it. When I was in the middle of the first chapter I phone biped with a text, it was from Edward.

"Stop reading and eat! By the way…you look beautiful in that top."- How could he know that I was reading, I looked around but did not see him anywhere.

"Where are you?"

"Your shoulders look very appetizing."

"Really?"

"Don't bite your lip like that, is very sexy."- He was watching me, but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Where are you? Are you stalking me?"

"Yes. I told last night, I can be very possessive.

"Just tell me where you are."

"I'll tell you later…now keep watching the door. I'll there in 20 seconds, start counting."- I looked at the door and counted, and he came in the door exactly when I got to twenty. He came in with Emmet and coach Uley. He looked gorgeous; he was wearing black jeans and a tight fitting shirt that hugged his great physique, showing off his muscles, he carried a laptop on his hand. He looked hot.

"Oh, my God."- Jessica said looking his way.-"That man is so hot…"

"He looks gorgeous, don't you think Bella?"

"Yes he does, so does his brother Emmet."- I said to try not to focus just on Edward. Jacob looked at me with sadness in his eyes and got up and left.

"You're right, look at those muscles."- Jessica said and with that all of the guys rolled their eyes and left. I decided it was a perfect time to tease Edward just a little bit, I hid my phone under the table and discreetly texted him.

"My friends think you look hot."- He smiled as he read, but didn't look my way.

"Just eat, now!"

"What if don't?"

"In that case I'm going to have to punish you somehow."

"That sounds good…"

"Bella, stop. You promised."

"Sorry, you just look so mouth watering."

"You're impossible. What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me…a lot."

"I already do. I have to go now, see you in 10 minutes."- I smiled and put the book down and when I was about to get my food I realized my friends were looking at me in surprise.

"What?"

"Why are you smiling?"- Jessica asked.

"I'm just happy today."

"Does your secret admirer have anything to do with that?"- Angela said.

"Maybe…"

"I'm going to find Mike, he hates when I look at other man, but what can I do? Edward is so hot."- We laughed and Jessica left, Angela came closer to me.

"I've been trying to get you alone all morning. Please tell me how did the interview go?"

"It was great, I start today."

"That's so great. Is the store open already?"

"No, but I will not be working at the store."

"What do you mean?"

"You have to keep this a secret."

"Of course I will."

"I'll be working as the designer's assistant. Isn't that awesome?"

"Bella, that is wonderful. I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you Angela."

We kept talking about my job until the bell rang and we walked to the classroom, when we got there Jacob was leaning against the wall next to the door.

"Bella, can we talk?"

"Now?"

"It is really quick."

"Ok, I don't want to be late."

"Bella, I want to apologize again. I've been acting like a jerk, I'm sorry."

"You said that yesterday."

"I know, but I miss you. Please forgive me, I promise I'll never talk to you like that again. I just want us to be friend again."

"Just friends?"

"Yes, I won't pressure you anymore; I'll just be your friend. I promise."- And he gave me that shinning smile of his and put his hand over his heart.

"Ok, you are forgiven, friend."

"Thank you."- And he hugged me tightly and I hugged him back, I really missed him.

"Are you two going to join us or do you like to go somewhere more private?"- Edward asked. We were right in front of the door and all the class was looking at us. I looked at Edward but he went back inside, we followed him.

"I'm sorry, we were late."- I said as I took my seat, but he never looked at me, not then nor during the entire class. He had told me that he would be doing this here at school, but somehow I felt there was something more.

When class was over, I gather my things slowly to see if I could get a moment alone with Edward, but the girls were all around him again. I got up and Connor was standing right next to me.

"Hi, Bella."

"Hi, Connor."

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Is it because of the paper?"

"No…I…wanted…You know the Spring dance is coming and…I…wanted to ask…would you like to be my date?"- I was shocked; he was asking me to the dance! Why?

"Sorry, Connor, but I don't think it is a good idea. We are in the school paper together and I think that might complicate things. Sorry."

"It' ok, I just had to try."- He turned and left, I looked at Edward and he was trying not to laugh, he excused himself and took his things to leave but two of the girls just waited for him, ruining the my chance to talk to him.

I walked outside and Eric was there waiting for me.

"Hi Bella."

"Hi Eric."

"I was wondering if you…"- Oh, no. This was not happening.-"Would you like to come to the dance with me?"

"I don't think that a good idea, we are in the paper's team, I don't like to mix things. Sorry."

"Well, just think about it."

"No, Eric, thank you. But is just the way I am."

"Ok."- He left and I heard Edward laughing, he had his back to me and was closing the door, he shook his head, laughed and left.

Was he laughing at me? I walked to my next class mad. Why would suddenly, these boys would ask me to go to the dance? I was still the same Bella, maybe I dressed a bit different the last two days but I didn't think I looked that much different.

I had no idea what my teacher talked about in my next class, I had my mind filled with question and I was also excited to start my new job. As soon as I heard the bell I got up and left.

"Bella, wait up."- Jacob said as he walked to me.- "Would you like to do something together this afternoon?

"I would love to Jacob, but I have to work, I'll be starting my new job."

"At that fashion store?"

"Yes, how did you know that?"

"I heard you talking to your mom the other day, remember?"

"Hello."- Emmet interrupted us.

"Hi coach."

"Hi, Emmet."

"Could you excuse us for a minute Jacob? I need to have a word with Bella."- Jacob tensed and reluctantly moved away.

"Is everything ok, Emmet?"- He smiled widely.

"Yes. I just wanted to give you this, to take to Rosalie."

"Oh. Another present?"

"Yes."- He handed me an envelope.

" She will be very happy; you should've seen her face, yesterday."

"I know. She told me; in fact she showed me how happy she was later that night."

"Wow, too much information, Emmet."

"Sorry. So are you nervous to start working?"

"No, more excited than nervous."

"Great. I need to go, I'll see you later."

"Bye Emmet."- He left and Jacob came closer.

"What is that?"- He said looking at the envelope.

"I'll tell you about it later, I need to leave now, because I don't want to be late on my first day."

"Ok, can I call you tonight?"

"Sure."

I got to my car and drove to downtown Phoenix, I parked and walked to the store and like I had done yesterday I ran the door bell but this time it was Rosalie that opened the door for me.

"Hi, Bella. Did you bring something for me?"- She looked like a little girl.

"Yes, I did."- I handed her the envelope and she opened. It was some kind of tickets."

"Come, let's go upstairs."- She said smiling.-"He gave me tickets to this play I was dying to see."-We went upstairs and walked into the office.

"Bella!"- Alice said and she got up and hugged me.-"I'm so happy you are finally here. We should make things official first."- She handed me my work contract to read.-"Take your time and read it."- I did and everything was just like we had discussed.

"Where do I sign?"

"Right here and you should take it home for your mother to read and sign as well."

"Ok."- I signed the contract and I was officially Alice and Rosalie's assistant.

"Now that it is official, come, I want to talk to you about something."- We set down on the couch, the same one where I had kissed Edward for the first time.-"Bella? Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, sorry."

"Thinking about my brother?"- She asked smiling and I blushed.

"Sorry."

"It's ok. You have no idea how happy I am about you two. He deserves someone special like you."

"Thank you."

"I feel that we will be great friends, Bella."

"I hope so."

"Ok, let's get back to business now. Since we met, something you said bothered me. It was very sad for me to learn that even though you loved our clothes that you didn't wear them because you could not afford it. And that really sucks, so I thought about creating a new line, one that would be affordable. What do you think?"

"That's a great idea. Most of the girls in my school love your clothes but like me they can't afford it."

"Really?"- Rosalie said as she joined us.-"At first I thought that Alice's idea would somehow diminish our image, but hearing you say that, I think this might be an opportunity to expand AliRose to a whole different market. Of course we will still continue with our more expensive line."

"We will launch it at the opening."- Alice said.

"You know, if instead of models you used real students, normal girls to advertise it, it could have a great impact. It would be AliRose's glamour for normal average girls."- They looked at me in surprise and then looked at each other.

"That is a great idea. I knew you would be great."- Alice said smiling.

"Thanks, you could make it like a contest to become AliRose's new face, we could talk to schools and have auditions or whatever you call it, or have it on-line, and girls from all over Phoenix could participate."

"Oh. That is so great, I love it."- Alice said.

We kept talking about their idea, and they showed me some of the designs they were already working on. They also showed me my desk which was the one right in front of their office door, my new laptop, they had established a mail account for me and they showed me the contacts, and explain me who was who inside their company and who were the people that I would be most in contact with. I took note of everything so I would forget.

They gave me a box with office supplies and left me alone so I could organize my desk in the way I felt more comfortable and that would be more efficient. I set behind the desk and looked around. It was hard to believe that I was actually here and that I was somehow a part of this.

I hoped you liked it, I'm almost finished with the next chapter, I hope i can post it later on today. Please don't forget to review.
