Chapter 3 Thin Wire
(BPOV)
It had been a week and only a handful of guys had messaged me. Of those none that I took a liking to, so I went 'hunting' between the pictures and profile only two jumped out at me. First was James Kingston, he was blond had piercing blue eyes and looked like a cocky son of a gun. On his profile it said that he had a girlfriend but was looking for something on the side. Somehow it did not sit right with me to help him cheat on his girlfriend even if it was just for pretend. I decided to save his info and have him as a back up, I then went to look at the other guy his name is Edward Cullen and he is gorgeous his hair was a wild tangled mess of brown, bronze, and very little blond he was wearing a tux and smiling at the camera his smile was a cocky crooked grin (perfect!). On this profile it said "I loves me some women!" that was funny and it meant that he was a player and that was what I was looking for.
The reason I want a player is because I want someone with experience someone who's been around the block a time or two, so that they don't get caught up in the 'glory' of a first kiss this was just business after all. So I Typed him out a message and crossed my fingers hoping that he would not think I was a freak. I left for my shift at Newton's.
The whole time I was at work I could not stand still Mike had seen me pacing and asked if everything was ok "You ok Swan? Your acting like someone is in the hospital."
"Fine" I croaked out "I'm fine just waiting for some news at home is all" I managed to say with a shaky smile.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity my shift ended and I raced home staying under the speed limit of course last thing I need was word getting back to Charlie that I had gotten a ticket. I pulled in to our drive way. I rushed passed Seth and the girls without a glance in their direction, and powered up my laptop. My leg was shaking as the sign on page came on, after typing in my username and password I looked to the message section it said 2 messages. I clicked on the envelope one from James and one from a guy with the username volvodrvr I felt a bit weary over the message from James so I opened up his message first.

Isabella I saw that you had been on my profile and so I went to check yours out. Although you're not much to look at I like some variety in my life my girlfriend is a red head, I'm also currently seeing a blonde I feel like I need a little brown in my life. Message me. James K (smokinluver)
What an asinine person Ugh yuck and so much more I was defiantly not going to message him. I had not given him permission to use my first name and if any moron looked at my profile it said that I preferred Bella. It was with a bit of caution that I opened the other message. .It simply read this
From: volvodrvr
To: sandstorm
Miss Swan first I guess you need to know that I am the one formally known as medicalhands I think that my new username suits me more. As for your proposition you have left me completely intrigued. Not to mention your profile. It seems we both like music, all music. So yes I would like to know more about this proposition of yours. Mr. Cullen
Oh my gosh he wrote back um what should I do I never really expected him to write back 'Ok Bella breath calm down you're an adult act like one' I thought to myself. I wanted to be up front and honest with him tell him my story and see where the chips might fall. Then my computer beeped at me it said volvodrvr has sent you an instant message I clicked on it.
volvodrvr: Hey I saw that you were on line and decided to message you
sandstorm: HI! I just read your message and was trying to decide what to write back to you.
volvodrvr: lol well you know what they say great minds think alike so have you decided what to write back?
sandstorm: yes what would you say to meeting not tonight of course but maybe tomorrow I'm off from work.
volvodrvr: sure that sounds like a plan where would you like to meet?
sandstorm: do you know the coffee shop that is at the Ridgeview shopping center in Phoenix?
volvodrvr: yeah say around one in the afternoon I'm busy till then
sandstorm: that would totally work for me! Ok I'll see you then. Good night
volvodrvr: Good night until tomorrow Miss Swan.
sandstorm: oh Bella is fine with me
volvodrvr has signed out
Oh well I'll let him know tomorrow. Oh my gosh I have a kind of date with a guy tomorrow I'm going to scream!
"Bella Dinner" my mom called and I went down stairs with a cheesy grin on my face not that anyone would notice Renee was always distracted and Charlie was not due till later.

After typing out a message I noticed a package on the coffee table. I got up and went to look at it "Emmett why in creation did you not tell me that I had gotten this I have been waiting for it." I said,
"Oh yeah I forgot. Eddie you got something in the Mail" he said with a grin, but I was passed hearing my mind was on the new textbook.
I spent the rest of the day reading, reviewing and taking notes from the textbook, with Emmett's screams and grunts from playing on the X box in the background. I wasn't until there was a knock on the door did I realize that he had stopped playing and had ordered a pizza. I looked up to the laptop and noticed that I had not sighed off from the dating site and that Miss Swan was on line so I desided to message her.
After I had signed off I still did not know anything about what she was proposing, but I was going to meet her for coffee tomorrow afternoon. I had asked that we meet in the afternoon because in the morning Emmett and I had Mass it's funny no matter how far we went in life what our parents had taught us stuck with us, and one of those was Mass on Sundays.
The Next Day
(BPOV)
I was so nervous I scarcely slept a wink and yet I awoke feeling energized and ready for the day. I knew exactly what I was going to wear a gray skirt and a blue blouse minimal makeup and my flats this was a business meeting after all. Thanks to my Musketeers I was dressing more femininely and knew how to put an outfit together.
I left with plenty of time but of course there was an accident after saying a quick prayer for the people involved, I concentrated on driving and hoped that he would not get fed up with waiting. I made it fifteen minutes late and with a deep breath I opened the door to the coffee shop, and walked in to meet my destiny
(EPOV)
I did not tell Emmett about my meeting with Miss Swan I just told him that I was going out. I left for the coffee shop early I wanted to be there by the time she got there I don't know why I just did. One O clock came and went and she has not yet shown up. Regardless of why she wanted to meet I did not want to miss the opportunity to know this girl. Every time the door opened I took in a breath and held it. Something was going to change everything for me I could feel it.
