"She's absolutely beautiful." I breathed, pushing the last meatball around my plate

"Yes, yes, you've said that much already." My father laughed

"I can't help it, if it's true." I sighed, smiling as I lifted my glass of water to my lips

"So, you said she plays Belle at the park?"

"Yes." I chuckled, "Huge, golden dress and all."

"I would imagine that dress doesn't help her clumsiness at all." My mother frowned

"No, it doesn't. But if it weren't for that damned dress, she wouldn't have tripped and needed me to pick her up."

"Man, you're whipped already." My brother laughed

"Shut up, Em."

"Emmett, be nice to your brother, he looks up to you."

"Damn, mom, we're not in middle school anymore. I can pick on Eddy, here, and he can take it like a man. And he does not look up to me."

"Well, I think it's sweet that Edward has a crush." Rosalie smiled, putting her two cents in

Rosalie was Emmett's fiancée. She was a model who grew up in Colorado and moved to Florida to work at a Hooters with the hope of being noticed. Sure enough, she'd been chosen to represent her city at the Hooter's fashion show, she won, and was taken under some washed out model's wing that threw her into all these fashion shows and commercials. So, besides the fact that she barely ate anything, and actually liked my goof of a brother, I really liked her, and in a way she was like the sister I'd always wanted.

"Thank you, Rosalie."

"You're quite welcome. So, when do we meet her?"

"M-meet her?" I repeated

"Bella." She spoke, thinking I'd just lost track of the subject of the conversation

"Well, the thing is, we talked, and I walked her back to her post, but I didn't ask her out or anything."

"You didn't?" Emmett laughed, "And that's where, maybe if you did look up to me, you wouldn't have screwed up, little buddy."

Alright, maybe he did have a valid point this time.

"But I can definitely fix that, right? I mean, I have to be at work at 7 am tomorrow, and she'll be there too. I'll just talk to James and make sure we're working the same shift, and have at least one shared location."

"Stalking her is not the way to get her attention." My father pointed out

"Is that not what you did to me?" My mother giggled

Rosalie put her hand under her chin, and leaned in towards the table, obviously amused.

"Carlisle was quite the stalker. You see, I used to work at this little coffee shop. So one day he comes up and orders a coffee, and tossed me some witty pickup line that I laughed at. He proceeds to tell me that his little piece of cardboard that goes around the coffee cup is too thin or something so he asks for a new one, scribble his number on the old one, and hands it back to me, before winking and leaving.

Purposely, I don't call him, wondering what he'll do. So next morning he comes back and goes through this entire ordeal again. It went on for about a week, and soon enough, I know his routine, and I have his coffee setup laid aside waiting for his arrival. A month later, I actually call him and accept his offer." She laughed, "So yes, dear. I believe that stalking a girl will eventually cause her to cave in."

"A month?" I floundered

No. I couldn't wait a month for her to go out on a date with me. Those chocolate brown eyes were the epitome of my dreams. Her peculiar strawberry scent followed me everywhere that I went.

I excused myself from the table and went to my room, waiting for beautiful, merciful, Bella filled sleep to come.

"Hey, man." Seth called from his tram, grinning in his tacky white and yellow polo shirt and white cargo shorts

"Hey, Seth. You out on a test run?"

"Yeah, why? You want a ride in? Which park are you in today?"

"A ride would be great." I grinned, hopping onto the front cart and sitting beside him, "Magic Kingdom today, per usual."

"You ever get tired of walking around in those tights, man?"

"Leggings." I corrected him, "And yes, always, but I'll stick around. It's good pay, and I have connections all over the place."

"How are things around Tanya?"

Ah, Tanya. She was very pushy, to say the least. She had thrown herself at me, and at one time I'd found this somewhat appealing, but quite frankly, now, she disgusted me, and I did my best to make this clear."

"Tanya's, well, Tanya."

He laughed.

"I hear you, loud and clear. Tried to throw herself at Jasper earlier this week, but he only has eyes for this new girl from Washington."

Crap. A new girl? Of course, Jasper had to be my best friend and he was ahead of me in the race to get to Bella.

"He likes a new girl?"

"Yeah. From some small town. Think she was working in the magic kingdom like two days ago. Anyway, he spent like two days with her here, and then took her out on a date last night. Already an item, said it's like they were made for each other. What'd he call it? Oh yeah, soul mates. He'd been worried that things were going too fast, but then she admits to him that she's going nuts over him to and knows that they were just meant to be."

This might have been the first time in my life that I wanted to kill Jasper Whitlock and his southern charm.

I wrapped up the conversation, and headed into work, clocking in, and then heading to the men's locker room.

"I cannot believe you." I laughed darkly, after spotting him

"Cannot believe I, what?" he asked, tucking his pant leg into his boot

"You took her on a date last night, and you're like, together, now?"

"It's great, isn't it?" he smiled, grabbing his cowboy hat from the bench in front of him, "I'd thought I was speeding ahead, and rushing things through, but apparently she felt exactly the same way."

"Had it occurred to you, that I liked her to, after our "heart-felt" phone call the other night?"

"What, about Bella?"

"Yes, about Bella." I spat

He started laughing.

"You're a sick guy, Whitlock."

I wanted to take his head and bash it into one of the lockers.

"Cullen, just throw on your tights and lets head on out."

That was the last straw.

I ran towards him and threw him against the locker, squishing his damn hat in the process. I hadn't pushed him as far as I'd hoped, though. The metal didn't protest, and he didn't cry out in pain.

I only got a, "The hell, man?"

So I punched him once.

"I can't help it, if I'm in love with her."

And then I punched him again.
