A/N: I guess it's a yes on the EPOV. In the next couple chapters there will be a small bit of Edward. Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the characters.
I knew he probably wasn't really a killer, but seriously, I've never seen any doctor look like him. Tattoos, perfect body, handsome face, smile to die for, amazing green eyes. The list could go on forever. Where did he come from?
After sitting in a daze while watching him go back and forth from the truck to his apartment, I was suddenly startled by my phone ringing. I jumped and screeched when I heard it. I quickly grabbed it and answered the phone call from Alice.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm currently watching my neighbor unpack his stuff with his shirt off," I answered. She started to giggle at me.
"Bella, just go talk to him and even offer to make him dinner tonight."
"Are you crazy? I can't offer to cook for him. I'd end up burning it and then he'd really think I was a moron."
"Fine, offer to buy dinner and bring it over to his place," she suggested. "I'm sure after unpacking all day he'd appreciate the offer."
"I already picked up Chinese for myself," I explained.
"Share, Bella. You never finish it all anyway."
"I don't know. Maybe I should leave him alone on his first night here. He's probably exhausted and wouldn't want someone hanging around."
I could almost hear Alice's eyes rolling through the phone. She always had so much confidence in me when in reality I had absolutely none. "Just do it. I'd kind of like to know what your neighbor is like also. When I call back later tonight I better get all the juicy details."
"There won't be any juicy details. I'm kind of tired and will probably just go home to relax."
"You are such a..."
"Loser, I know," I interrupted and finished off the sentence.
"That's not what I was going to say."
"Yes but it's what you were thinking."
"No, it's not what I was thinking at all. I was going to say you are such a party pooper. I'm getting just as much entertainment out of this as everyone else watching."
"Everyone else watching?" I repeated. "What are you talking about?"
"I ran into Angela today at the store and she told me after you left yesterday the new Doctor Cullen kept asking everyone questions about you. He wanted to know how often you came in with a new ailment and what you do for living. I guess he even asked if you had any next of kin; as in are you married or not. Everyone is wondering how long it'll take before he makes a move since we all know you won't."
"All those questions could easily just be part of my medical records. He was probably asking all those questions because after looking through all my medical history he thinks I'm going to die very soon and wants to know who to contact."
"Please, Bella. If you haven't died yet I don't think you will. You may be accident prone and unlucky in a lot of ways but luck is always on your side when it comes to cheating death."
"He doesn't know that, though."
"Can you just do me a favor and go knock on his door?" she asked.
"Why are you pushing this so much?" I wondered.
"Because... Well... It's like this..." she stuttered and evaded the question. Something was up with her. "Okay, I made a bet with Angela about who would be the first to make a move. She thinks Edward will but I have confidence in you. I guess she's taken up quite a pool from everyone at the hospital who's been watching."
"You made a bet!" I exclaimed loudly. I was mad and hurt she would make a bet about my love life.
"Don't be mad. It was just for fun. But please go talk to him. I want to win this bet and prove her wrong," she begged.
I huffed and hit the back of my head against the seat. "Fine," I agreed. I hung up the phone roughly and got out of the car. Grabbing the food, I headed towards his apartment mustering up all the confidence I could. I stopped at his door and raised my fist ready to knock.
Thank for reading :)
