Alice and I both turned our heads to find out what this strange noise coming up the road was because it was strange to both of us. Around the corner came a shiny red motorcycle with someone dressed in all black leather and a matching red helmet riding it. I was hypnotized by the roar of the motor and sparkling red paint. Alice and I watched as the motorcycle pulled into the parking lot of my apartment building and stopped a few feet away from us. Alice and I glanced at each other trying to understand who this stranger in our town was. No one I knew owned a motorcycle like this one. This was something special, something someone probably spent thousands of dollars on to make it look so perfect.

Glancing over at Alice, she shrugged her shoulders and gave me a confused look. We watched as the man turned off the engine and put down the kickstand before stepping off and removing his gloves. The helmet still remained on his head and all I wanted this man to do was remove it so I could find out who he was. Another glance over in Alice's direction told me she was thinking the same thing.

Neither of us noticed the moving truck that pulled in right behind the motorcycle until it blocked our view of the man on the motorcycle. We moved our heads to see around the side of the truck but still couldn't get a great look.

"Come on. This looks like someone who is moving in. Why don't we go introduce ourselves?" I suggested. Alice smiled and followed behind me as we walked over to the man in the helmet. He was just beginning to take it off when we reached him and in what seemed like slow motion a mess of bronze locks came spilling out around his face. My heart clenched, realizing who it was.

"Hi there, Alice. Hey, Bella," Carlisle Cullen greeted climbing down from the moving truck.

We looked up at him and smiled. "Hi, Doctor Cullen," we said in almost perfect sync. When we looked back at the man in front of us now holding his helmet in the nook of his arm, we could clearly see it was Doctor Edward Cullen. He jerked his head around when we said hi to Carlisle as if we were saying something to him. The issue with two Doctor Cullen's was going to be irritating.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in kind of a snooty tone.

He smirked and licked his lips before looking directly at me with his bright green eyes. "I'm moving in."
