As they were walking side by side , Edward couldn't believe what he just did he asked Bella to go have a coffee with him , he didn't know where the courage to ask her came from , but the sight of her walking away from did funny things to him. He was still in shock that he asked her to go with him.

Making there way to the little café that was about two blocks from the park, they both walked in silence, every occasionally he would glance over at Bella, he felt extremely nervous.

Bella nocited that he seemed nervous, soon enough they arrived at the little café, opening the door for her Edward stood while she went in, closing the door behind him. As they walked in the smell of roasted coffee beans and warmth hit them.

Going up to the counter t he cashier at the cash perked up and smiled at them.

"Hi how may I help you?"

Clearing his throat Edward looked at Bella.

"What would you like to drink Bella?"

"I would like Just a regular black coffee".

"One black coffee and with sugar and cream and one without any cream or sugar, the cashier smiled at Edward.

"Ok "they waited at the cash for the cashier to get them there coffee's.

"That will be ten dollars "he gave her the money while Bella took the coffee cup, stepping away from the cash register, Bella handed Edward his coffee.

As she handed it to him lightly her fingers touched Edward hand, it was like every other time that same tingling sensation, Bella wondered to herself did Edward feel the same thing as she did when he touched her.

Spotting a table in the corner Edward nodded his head to it; Bella followed him.

Sitting down at the table, Bella took a sip from her coffee while Edward watched her.

"I wonder if it's going to rain "

"I saw on the weather channel they said there was a chance of "Bella took another sip from her coffee.

Edward looked at her funny.

"What. "

"Nothing "As they drank there coffee neither of them said much.

"So where do you work Edward " running a hand through his hair he answered her question.

"I'm currently unemployed "pushing her hair behind her ears Bella looked at him strangely.

"Oh. "

'Yeah. "

Edward put his head down trying to avoid her eye he knew if looked at her he would tell what happened and he was not ready to, he barley knew her. Edward did not want to have to explain to her the reason why he did not have a job and how it was because of that day.

Bella sensed a change in his mood she didn't understand what made him so moody.

"Hey are you ok "

Taking a breath Edward answered, "Yeah I'm fine "

"You sure" Edward gave Bella a sad smirk

"So what did you do before became unemployed? "

"I used to be a cop "Bella ears perked up when she heard he used to be a cop.

"Oh wow. "

Folding his arms he leaned on the table "yes "

"How long were you a cop for "Edward smiled sadly at her?

"About five year's "

"My dad a police chief "Edward eye's widened in surprise and shock he couldn't that her father was a cop as well.

Fragment (consider revising)

"Yes, he been a police chief for about ten years now "Edward nocited that when Bella spoke she had a bit of an accent, he wondered if was really from the Chicago area. What Edward did not know about Bella was that she was originally from Canada, she had moved here a year ago.

They had stopped talking for a minute before Edward asked her another question.

"You're not from Chicago are you? "

Bella shook her head "no I'm not "

Leaning back in his chair he looked at Bella very intensely.

"Where are you from Bella?" Edward was filled curiosity.

"I'm from Canada "Edward was stunned that she was from Canada he wanted know why she was here in Chicago. Bella looked at his face and saw that he had an expression of gold fish.

"You're probably wondering what Im doing here right "Edward nodded his head.

He gave her a smirk "why did you move from Canada to here?"

Bella leaned forward on the table "I moved here because I wanted a change. "

He gave her a sideway's glance Bella saw the expression as she continued to tell him why she had moved here.

"What part of Canada are you from?" Edward asked Bella in a curious voice.

"I'm from Montréal "crossing her legs Bella waited for Edward answer.

"Oh wow "they just both looked at each other.

Bella continued to ramble on "yeah it's in the province of Quebec "

Edward just simply smiled at her but she still did not really answer him why, but he was shocked that she had moved here from Canada to Chicago for a job, he wanted to the reason why she moved there had to be a reason.

He wanted to know more about Bella , her found her very interesting looking at while she talked about how she done her schooling and managed to get a degree in English literature , he and wondered if she had a degree in English why she working as sectary at pulsing company why wasn't she a writer.

"Why don't you teach if you have degree in English "Bella was surprised that he would ask her that?

Clearing her throat "the reason is I find the kid's coming up in today society are so rude to people and I didn't really want to teach"

Edward gently smiled at her "that true. "

They both let out a chuckle.

"So what did you want to be then. "

Crossing her arms over her chest she leaned forward on the table as so did Edward, they were both leaning towards each other .He couldn't help but nocited for the first time how pretty her eye's were they weren't a dark brown more of hazelnut .Bella kept talking Edward as he looked down at her lips, they were a dusty rose color, Edward looked at Bella face and saw that she was very naturally pretty; it was the first time in a long time that he found a women attractive.

Bella nocited that Edward was looking at her strangely feeling the heat rise to her cheeks, he nocited the blush on her cheeks he must have been embarrassing her he moved his eye's around the shop.

He nocited that the shop was not very full Turing his head back to Bella, she looked back at Edward confused.

She was looking at Edward very intently. Seeing as she had been caught looking at him, Bella found that Edward was very handsome. She kept looking at his face while she studied his features, his eye like she nocited from the other were such a bright shade of green, his hair was almost bronze but it was more like a darkish brown color to.

Hearing Edward ask her a question is what broke from her daze she was in; looking at his face Bella blushed.

"Do you miss living in Montréal?"

Letting out a sigh, Bella answered, "Sometimes I do ".

"Do you ever go back sometimes to visit "Bella shook her head at him.

"No, I haven't gone back since I moved here but I was thinking of going this summer or at thanksgiving."

Edward nodded his head.

"So what about you Edward have you always lived in Chicago? " Bella asked with a slightly smirk to her face.

He gave her a small smile "no, I when I was teenager I lived in Washington but my family moved to Chicago, my father was surgeon and they offered him a position here so when I was fifteen we packed up and left. "

Bella nodded her head "oh, ok "

"Do you have any brother or sister Bella?" Bella gave Edward a sad smile.

"No, it was just me. "

"So do you know how to speak French "Bella smiled at Edward?

"Yeah I do it's not the best but I do speak French and Italian."

Edward was surprised to find out that she spoke Italian to.

"How do you know Italian "Bella smiled at him?

"My mother was Italian so she taught it to me "they both smiled at each other.

At the same time the two of them looked around, noticing the place that place was partially empty.

Bella stood up at the same time as Edward, walking over to the garbage where they threw out there cups, walking out of the coffee shop they stood in front of the window.

"Anyways I need to get back home and well thank you for the coffee Edward ."

Giving her a small smirk "your welcome Bella. "

"Goodbye Edward. "

"Goodbye Bella who know I might see you at the park again. "

Not responding to his comment Bella just gave him a smile and walked off towards her apartmen.

Edward watched as she walked away , as soon she left there was that same feeling like the other day , some how he felt empty when she left he didn't understand it; quickly he walked back to his apartment.

On the way there Edward mind thought about Bella , he was amazed and shocked at himself that he had asked to go for coffee with normally he wouldn't have bother it was another girl but for but thinking back to his coffee with her when they were talking.

He did not feel sad or unhappy at the time, Bella made him feel happy and Edward had not felt happy in a long time.

When Edward got home, he checked the time and it was almost nine they had spent two hours just talking. Changing into a pair of grey pyjama pants Edward went to his living room and sat down.

After watching TV for some time and feeling tired Edward decided to call it a night, shutting down the TV he made his way to his bedroom. Laying his head on his pillow, he fell asleep quite quickly that night.

But not long before he start to toss and turn again as dreamed the same dream yet again , it was as if he was reliving it all over again only this time he was there with watching as he lost wife and child in instant.

He saw the there faces, there bodies lying there with blood pooling around them.

With a jolt, Edward sat up in his bed feeling the tears roll down his cheek he sobbed so hard that he couldn't see in front of him for the next fifteen minutes he cried and cried. Slowly he lay back down once he had his sobs under control.

Finally after a little while he went back to sleep.

The next morning when Bella woke up she turned over on to her stomach , gluing at her alarm clock she saw it was almost nine , nuzzling her face into her pillow alike would be over to pick her up soon .

Thinking back to last night Bella felt her lips form into a smile, slowly she got out of her bed , getting up she went into her closet where she grabbed a pair black jeans, a white tank top and yellow cardigan,

Heading to her bathroom Bella turned on the shower and jumped in, soon enough she was done with her shower, quickly getting dressed.

Bella made her way to the kitchen where she grabbed a cup of coffee sitting down at her table sipping her cup of coffee .Bella started to think about last night.

A knock on the door the door broke her from her thought , placing the coffee down she walked up to the door, checking thought the peep hole to see who it was , seeing it was Alice.

She opened the door "hey Alice come in "

Alice walked into Bella apartment.

She waited at the door as Bella went to fetch her coat; throwing on her coat she, grabbed Bella grabbed her purse and keys.

"Ok you ready to go "Alice gave Bella a huge smile

"Yup "they made there way to Alice Carney yellow Porsche, unlocking the door her and Bella got in. The ride mall was not very long , parking the car once they got there Alice ran to Bella side and pulled her out of the car .Bella smiled at her friend and laughing at her all the while as Alice drag to mall.

For the next hour they spent trying on clothes and just having fun , Bella had bought some jeans , a couple of sweaters , later Bella and Alice both sat in the food court eating some lunch , while they talked.

"So what did you last night missy?" Alice asked Bella.

" not much just went for walk then stopped to have some coffee "as Bella was telling Alice about her night and what she did , she left out the part of meeting Edward and having coffee with him in the mean while , Alice noticed that Bella cheek' s had a faint blush to them Alice wondered why Bella was blushing .

Bella was wondering why Alice was starting at her like that.

"Ok, Bella why are blushing like that that and don't tell me it's nothing?"

Answering her back in staggered tone "it's, really nothing Alice"

Smirking back at her Alice giggled, "Bella stop lying to me come on just tell me".

Sighing Bella finally gave in "ok, well you know about the guy that saved me right ."

Alice nodded her head.

She continued to tell Alice what happened "well I met him again "

"Really where did you meet him, how did you find him again.

"while was o my walk I decided to go by the park , I looked and saw him sitting on bench " Bella looked at alike noticing that she a wired expression on he face Bella continued to tell her about how she approached him and they talTalked.

Bella also told her that when she was going to the leave the park he asked to go have a coffee with him; Alice listened as she kept telling her about everything that happened last night. She could not help but feel a little giddy as remembered everything about last night.

Alice asked Bella a question about him "Bella what was his last name again?"

" oh, it's Cullen why " she something in Alice eye as she mentioned his last name , Bella was curious why would Alice have slightly wired expression on her face , it was the same expression she wore when Bella had told everything that happened that when she bumped into him at the coffee shop .

There was minute of awaked silence between the two.

"Alice can I ask you something . "

"Sure "taking a deep breath Bella asked her question.

"Do, you know him Alice?" starting right at Alice Bella did not blink, shad the funny spisition that Alice did in fact know Edward.

Letting out a sigh "yes I do "

She was stunned Bella couldn't believe that Alice knew Edward and she never said anything to her until now and she wondered why Alice didn't say anything to her , while Bella thought 's were running wild in her head.

Alice voice broke her thought process, looking up into the blue eyes of her friend "how do you know him ".

"I know him thought jasper. "

Bella had confused expression on her face Alice took one look at her face and began to explain how she knew Edward; she told her that jasper and Edward are good friends.

"How long have you known him for?"

"

For about two years now, look Bella Im sorry I didn't say anything that I knew him ".

"Nevertheless, how come you didn't say anything that you knew him "Alice gave Bella a sad smile?

"I wanted to make sure it was Edward and not another person named with the same name. " Bella looked at Alice with a confused expression she did not understand what Alice meant by that.

"What do you mean Alice?" Upon looking at Alice face, she gave Bella a sad smile.

" it just that Edward never goes out with anyone or has for a long time any way's " Bella was trying to understand what Alice was talking about , but ultimately she was puzzled by what Alice was telling her.

"Ok, Alice I don't what you're talking about "Alice shook her head at Bella.

"Sorry, Im rambling on here. "

"What did you mean that he doesn't go out? "

"It's a long story Bella, jasper told me that he not the same anymore ever since "Bella listened to alike words and wondered what she meant by that.

Alice looked at Bella and knew she said to much .

"Not the same anymore since what Alice "

"Noting Bella, nothing ."

She found it wired and she wondered what Alice meant, he not the same person that he used to be.

Bella gave Alice a small smile she wanted to know more about him but she wondered if Alice would get mad, there was only one to find out.

"Alice how old is Edward?"

"Oh he's 30"

"Really he look's younger I thought he would have been twenty eight or something "

"I know right "Bella felt the blush rush to cheeks Alice let a small giggle escape her. They both smiled at each other, Bella still wanted to know what happened to Edward and why she said it is a long story.

For the rest of the afternoon they sat at the mall and just talked about everything, but for reason Bella couldn't shake the feeling that Alice knew what happened to Edward , but wouldn't tell her, she wanted to know so baldy.

During the ride home Alice looked over at Bella and found that she was unusual quite, she thought maybe it had something due with what she told her, Alice knew what happened to Edward, it was sad story very tragic, but Alice felt it was not her story to tell and that Bella would have to ask Edward.

"Ok here you are Bella "looking she saw that Alice had stopped in front of the apartment complex that she lived in, grabbing her bags from the bag seat she turned to Alice.

"Bye Alice, "

"Bye Bella call you later "Bella nodded as got out of the car.

walking into her apartment she went straight for her bedroom and put her clothes away , once she was done , Bella walked out into her kitchen where she grabbed herself I glass of orange juice.

Think back to the mall she was amazed to find out that Alice knew Edward, talk about small world after as she thought to her self, looking around the small yellow kitchen that she was in, Bella wanted to know more about him, there was something about Edward that just seemed differen

Letting out of breath she left the kitchen and went into her living room, deciding there was not much on TV, she figured she would watch a movie going to the DVD case Bella pulled out the movie the phantom of the opera.

Settling it in the DVD player, Bella watched the film soon she was caught up in the love story in the movie, But Bella mind drift towards Edward she

Turing her attention back to the movie Bella got up in the movie.

Soon enough the movie was ending as Bella shut off the DVD player, her stomach let out a noise getting up form the brown couch she marched into her kitchen where she made herself dinner.

The rest of the night went by slowly Bella found her self in bed thinking about today , her eyes began to slowly close as soon as feel as sleep she had her first dream of Edward that night.
