Friday March 4 7:30 am
Her hand shot out from underneath her soft warm blanket that she had cacooned her self in the night before, a few seconds later the loud incessant beeping ceased and she rolled over and shoved her head under the pillow. She new that in just a few moments her friend would be upstairs to force her out of bed to get ready for work. A short time later her thoughts were confirmed by the loud clicking of heels on the hardwood floor of their upstairs hallway.
"Rise and shine!" Her friends loud voice assaulted her ears, she was entirely too happy for first thing in the morning but knowing her friend she'd probably been up since four downing latte after latte. She just groaned and rolled over desperately attempting to annoy the pixie girl that was trying to force her out of bed, this was their usual routine and just like every other time it was not going to work for her and she knew it.
"Sorry Bella but it's your first day of work. I think it's fair to say that it would be a good idea to show up on time." The paused and then leaned over her and yanked her blanket off, giving her a disapproving look when she saw that the girl had fallen asleep in her dinner dress. "I laid your outfit out in the bathroom, and before you even try to say anything your wearing it and thats final, so get the hell up!" With that she walked out of the room and headed downstairs to get breakfast ready for the grouchy girl laying in the bed.
With a sigh she got up from the comfortable warmth of her bed to trudge her way to the bathroom to take a shower to wash away the dried up makeup that was left on her face face.
But when she entered the bathroom she stopped dead in her tracks. She cant be serious! She thought as she looked at the grey dress that was laid out on the counter for her to wear. It seemed like it wouldnt even go past mid thigh on her without the massive heels that were placed next to it, she turned on her heel and went to go raid her closet for some new shoes, desperately hoping that her friend had replaced her shoe collection.
No such luck.
She opened her closet door to find her entire closet empty. No shoes. No clothes. Just a large closet of emptiness. She stomped her way into the hallway to yell down the stairs to her friend.
"Alice where the hell are all my clothes?"
"Dropped them off at good will yesterday while you were at your interview."
"You did what?"
"Bella be reasonable you've had some of those clothes since high school, it was time for a change." She couldnt wrap her mind around the fact that her friend had done that.
"What the hell am I supposed to wear now?" With all of her clothes she had no casual clothes, nothing to lounge around the house in when she was feeling lazy.
"I kept some of the clothes that I knew you wouldnt want to part with, like band t-shirts and sweatpants. They are all in your bottom drawer and as for your work clothes, there will be a new outfit for you laying out everyday and dont worry you wont be wearing heels and dresses everyday."
She realized that there was no point arguing with her friend, she wouldnt win anyway. For as long as they'd known each other she had never really one an arguement unless it was something that was really important and she just wouldnt relent. So she just turned and walked back to her bathroom to get ready. About an hour later she was dressed and ready. The grey dress was a short sleeved sweater dress that was made with an extremely soft fabric that clung to her body showing off her curves in a tasteful way. Suprisingly the matching grey ankle boots were actually comfortable and easy to walk around in.
When she entered the kitchen the first thing she smalled was bacon. She lifted her nose to the smell and inhaled loudly.
"My dear Ali did you make bacon?" She said in a chipper tone that was vastly different from her bitchy morning voice an hour ago.
"Why yes I did would you look at that, theres a nice big plate of crispy bacon sitting on the counter." She said while turning around and smiling at her friend. By the time she finished her plate of bacon it was time to head out, she had just enough time to stop and grab a cofee on the way.
Ten minutes later she was standing in line at a cute little coffee bar just down the street from her new job. The guy behind the counter worked smoothely and quickly so she reached the front of the line in no time. He was around her age with a mop of black hair on his head and a bright smile that few people in the place wore given the time of day.
"What would you like miss?" He asked as her eyes searched the menu above his head, she glanced down at him and gave him a smile.
"I would like a caramel macchiato and a raisin bagel with cream cheese please."
"Álrighty then." He smiled and then turned to fix her order. About two minutes later she had a warm cup of coffee in her hand an brown paper bag that held the second half of her breakfast. Good thing she had a great metabolism, she could never pass up a good warm baked good.
"Thank you...Seth." She said looking down at his name tag. He gave her another smile.
"That will be $4.84." She paid for her order, gave Seth another quick smile and set off to her first day at her new job.
The sound of clicking heels resonated through the large open room as she made her way to the elevator. As she approached she called to the man in the elevator, "Sir, can you hold the elevator please!" as she increased her pace, now half jogging. When she got in he asked what floor she was going to.
"Elevemth." An odd look crossed the man's face.
"Are you sure?" She nodded.
"Good luck then." He said and gave her a look of pity before the elevator doors opened to let on another passenger, this time a tall dark man with a playful demeanor.
"Who's this?" He asked eyeing her from head to toe and back again.
"Oh this is..." He paused realizing that he had never caught her name.
"I'm Isabella. But just call me Bella please."
The first man spoke up, "Bella is working on the eleventh floor." A look was shared between the two men.
"What's so bad about working on the eleventh floor?" She asked the two men, looking back and forth netween them both.
"Edward Cullen." They said in unison. She didnt have time to ask anymore questions because the elevator stopped again and this time it was her time to get off.
"Good luck Bella I hope everything goes well for you." The second man said as the elevator doors closed again, taking away her view of the two men that had stirred up so many questions.
She saw the same woman from yesterday sitting at the same desk, typing away at her computer. She glanced up and gave her a sweet smile, she seemed so kind.
"Hello sweetheart let me show you to your new office." She said as she stood up and gestured for her to follow her down the hallway. She stopped in front of a large wooden door with large glass windows on either side. She opened the door and led her into a large open room with windows covering two walls. There was a long L-shaped table in the center with an expensive looking desk chair sitting behind it. On the desk sat what looked to be a brand new computer and two lamps. The walls that werent covered with windows were covered with floor to cieling bookshelves. She stood in awe of the expensively furnished room, she gave the woman standing next to her a questioning look and then asked, "This cant really be my office can it?" She nodded and smiled wider.
"Welcome to the company Ms. Swan. Mr. Cullen will be in in a few minutes to go over everything you need to know." And with that she walked out and left the girl to wander around her office. When she finished inspecting everything she sat at her desk and took out her bagel, ripping off a piece and placing it in her mouth. The warm bagel and cream cheese hit her taste buds and sent them into a frenzy. She closed her eyes and let out a loud moan at the taste. Her moment of intense pleasure was interrupted by a loud cough and she opened her eyes to see Edward and Emmett standing in the door wearing almost matching suits. Edward had a look that she couldnt figure out and Emmett had a huge smile on his face.
"Well that was a wonderfful way to start the first day!" Emmett said loudly giving Edward a big thump on the bad and a look was passed between the two of them. She just sat there looking as confused as she felt, a slight blush touching her cheeks from having them walk in while she was shoving food in her mouth.
After clearing his throat and shaking his head as if to clear his thoughts, Edward walked over to the desk that she was sitting at and leaned back against it.
"Ok lets get started."

A few hours later they had finished going over everthing that they needed to fill her in on, such as, what she was going to be doing, her hours, who she'll be working with and so on. There was never a dull moment during the whole conversation since Emmett was there and would intervene every time the conversation seemed to be heading towad dull. They had even had to stop for a snack break a few times.
Once they were done and she was told that she could head home for the day, she hopped back on the elevator and headed down to get a cab. When she got home she kicked her shoes off at the door and kicked collapsed on the couch even though she wasnt even the slightest bit tired. After watching a few episodes of The Jersey Shore she got a phone call from Alice.
"Hello?" She answered after diving over her opened bagof Doritos and landing roughly on the hard arm of the couch.
"Be ready in twenty minutes. We are going with Rosalie to shop for her dress and then heading to the mall to get some shoes." She inwardly groaned at that. Shopping with Alice wasnt like shopping with normal people, she had an unlimited credit card and no sense of time. One time she had dragged her to the mall with the promise of only being there for forty-five minutes, they were there for five and a half hours, they went to every store and sometimes even multiple times.
"Ok Alice I will." Fifteen minutes later Alice walked through the door carrying her new designs for her summer line. She was already ready, since she had only had to reapply her little bit of make up and put her shoes on.
"We're meeting Rose at a boutique and the hitting the mall." She grabbed her arm and dragged her out the door.
They met Rose in front of a large three story building with two elaborate wedding gowns in the front window. When they went in they were immediately taken to one of the back rooms for Rose to talk to one of the women to help her find the perfect dress. It would be easy enough since Rose was sure to be pretty enough to pull off every dress they had in the store. After the first five dresses her and Alice had begun to get slightly bored when Rose came out in a dress that left them breathless. She looked absolutely amazing. The gown had a tight lace bodice with a flower right below her bust, it was tight until it reached her hps and then it puffed out into a long cathedral skirt. At the top of the skirt was some more lace detailing that went down the left side.
"Do you like it?" She asked twirling around with a smile.
"Rosalie you look gorgeous!"
"Ok. So this one definately?" She asked looking at herself in the mirror.
"Yes!"
"Ok I'm going to go change and then I'm going to get them to hold it for awhile."
After a few hours of shopping around from store to store they went to the food court to grab something to eat before they split up and went home. They had just gotten their food and sat down at the table when Rose's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" A pause. "Yeah. Why?" Another pause. "Really?" A look in my direction. "Ok will do." Another pause and a big smile. "Love you too baby."
A few minutes passed with a lot of laughing and idle conversation and she was really having a lot of fun.
"Hey bella can you do me a favor?" Rosalie turned and asked her before taking another bite of her salad.
"Yeah sure Rose what do you need?"
"Can you go over to that coffee place down there and get one of those yummy little blueberry muffins for Emmett since our done eating?" She asked flashing her a smile.
"Sure." She handed her the money and she walked down there to place her order. While she was standing at the register she looked around at all the people, there werent that many people considering how the rest of the mall was packed. Then her eye spotted something familiar off in the corner. There sitting at one of the booths sipping a coffee was a familiar head of bronze hair that couldnt be anyone other than her boss. At that moment he looked over and caught her staring and smiled lifting his hand to gesture her to come over.
"Hello Edward what are you up to?"
"Actually I'm organizing the books that you'll be editing to get them ready for you this week."
"But why are you at the mall of all places?" She asked with a little chuckle.
"Oh Emmett ditched me to go see Rose or something."
"You mean Emmett was here? Did he get one of those blueberry muffins?" He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"No Emmett hate muffins."
Those little scheming bitches.
"Why?" He asked a second later.
"Oh no reason they just seemed really yummy." A puase. "And we both know how Emmett loves to eat." She said remembering all the snack breaks they had taken that day.
He let out a laugh. "Yeah that he does. So what brings you to the mall today Bella?"
"I was dragged against my will by the evil little pixie I call Alice."
"Oh well count yourself lucky at least she didnt give you the sex talk in the middle of the Calvin Klien store." He cringed probably remembering the event.
"No but however she did make me have to run naked through Victoria Secret one time." He looked up from his computer with his mouth hanging open.
"Why?"
"She was attempting to force me to buy new lingerie and I was refusing so she stole my clothes. Then I chased her to get them back not remembering where I was." I paused for a second and the added, "Suprisingly the girl behind the counter said that it wasnt the first time that had happened.:"
"Wow it sounds like I need to go hang out at the store for awhile." I watched as it registered what he just said. "Sorry that was a really guyish thing to say." He shot me an apologetic look.
Just then Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice walked in. I gave Alice and Rosalie the 'I'm onto you' look and then turned back to Edward with a smile.
"It's perfectly ok. I found it funny, let that side out more often it may make our jobs that much more amusing." She said with a laugh.
Once they reached the parking lot they split up to get into a cab or a car. When she reached her house she said goodnight to Alice and headed upstairs to get a shower and go to sleep.
Once she was in her room though the world had other plans. She heard a knock on the front door and Alice yelled for her to get it. She opened the door to see Edward standing on her front steps.
"Would you like to come have a quick dinner with me, I have something I would like to ask you about." With a sigh she slipped on her shoes for the third time that day and headed out the door.
