Recap: "Well I'm just going to go to my office now. See you there in a few minutes." She said before she turned to leave the room, he watched her walk out of the room and a minute later he got up and locked his door so he didnt have to worry about being interrupted while he took care of the problem that the girl had just unknowingly created.

March 13 2:30 pm
It had been over a week since Edward had seen her in his office and ever since then he has been in a bad mood almost every time she had seen him. Of course those were the times when he had tried and failed to avoid her. At first she had thought he was just genuinely busy and that was why she hadnt been able to talk to him but then she started to notice that every time she walked into a room that he was in he would make up some excuse to leave and then practically run away, several times he had actually left his newly made coffee behind in a rush to get away.
She stopped typing and let out a sigh of frustration. She just couldnt understand what she had done that would make him act that way. They had had a lot of fun together the night that they had gotten chinese food and talked, or at least she had thought that they had.
She got up from her place behind her computer and walked over to stand in front of her floor to cielind window that gave her a great view of the city. She could see the crowded sidewalks that were packed with people rushing from place to place, some of them looking angry or sad and some were chatting away happily on the phone with a friend or a relative. At the thought of friends her mind wandered back to the boy behind the counter at the little coffee bar that she stopped at every morning. She remembered when she finally got him to stop calling her Miss.
Flashback
"Good morning Seth!" She called to the boy behind the counter when she came through the door, he looked up and gave her the same bright smile that he did every morning.
"Good morning Miss. What can I get you?" He asked. She told him just to get her her usual order. He nodded his head and turned to make her order like usual but this time she spoke up again.
"Oh and Seth, it's Bella not Miss." She said sending him an equally bright smile. When he brought her order over he set it down in front of her and said in a playful voice, "Here you go Bella!" Making sure to stress her name.
She left the coffee bar a few minutes later after having a little bit more playful conversation, a huge smile plastered onto her face thinking that she was going to have a great day.
Little did she know that that day was going to turn out to be a day filled with anger and confusion that revolved around her newly acquired boss.
She turned around to see the object of her earlier thoughts standing in the doorway of her office. His shiny gray suit and black tie balanced out the look of his perfectly purposely messed up hair and great features to create the look of a man who could be a Calvin Klein model. He had a look on his face that she couldnt read but that didnt matter because all she could focus on was the anger that sizzled it's way through her.
"Hello Edward what do you need? Please be quick because I dont have time to try to come up with some ridiculous excuse so I can avoid you." She said in a cold voice that she almost didnt recognize as hers. It was like a knife of sharp cold metal shooting out and slicing right into him.
His eyes dropped to the floor and she saw pain flash across his face. "Bella I'm sorry I..." He was cut off.
"Edward you dont have to explain I understand you regret the night last week and your having trouble trying to find a way to tell me that. I get it I mean I'm pretty plain and kind of boring and more than likely nothing like the women that you usually have fawning all over you all the time."
"Bella your right you are nothing like those women." She felt as if she had just been punched in the stomach, that comment had hurt her more than anything anyone had said to her in a long time. She was only half listening when she heard him start to speak again. "Your nothing like them because your beautiful, intellegent, funny, great to be around, and not a gold digger." She stood there frozen in place halfway to her desk, her body was unable to move. With every word he had said he moved closer to her until he was so close to her that she could feel the heat radiating from his body and smell the sweet scent of his cologne. His hands came up to be placed on either side of her face and she was forced to look up onto his eyes.
"Bella I have been trying to ignore you this past week because I didnt think that I should be feeling this way about someone I work with. The way I feel is certainly not professional and would be strongly disapproved of." He paused for a second and his hand moved softly caressing her face. "But no matter how hard I tried I couldnt get you off of my mind, everywhere I went you seemed to be there and every thought that I had somehow came back to you." She couldnt breathe, couldnt find words to form an acceptable sentence. Her shock increased when she felt him move closer and realized that he was moving his mouth closer and closer to her lips. She felt the pressure on her lips and reacted with all the emotions that she had felt that week. It started out slow at first and then grew quicker and more heated, turning into a kiss with different intentions then it had started out with.
She felt herself moving backwards until her she could feel her back press against the window. His hands travelled down her sides and stopped to grab her hips and lift her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and tangled her hands into his hair. The kiss became more intense as time moved on and soon they both were out of breath and stopped to take a breath when they heard someone clear their throat. Standing in the doorway was Emmett with a big smile on his face and with his hand lifted up scratching the back of his head. A few chuckles escaped his mouth as he looked at the two still wrapped around each other, flushed and breathing hard. They quickly untangled themselves and Edward let out a frustrated sigh.
"Well it's nice to see that the two of you are getting along well." He let out a laugh and then locked eyes with his brother, for the next minute or so they looked like they were having a silent conversation. He walked further into the room and sat down with a big smile still on his face. "Well it took you long enough Eddie." He paused for a second. "For a while there I thought your head was going to explode, or shall I say heads."
Edward walked up to his brother and smacked him upside the head. "Your such an asshole."
"Well back to the reason why I interrupted you. Mom, Dad, and Gramps are coming to visit tomorrow and Bella, Alice and Jasper are invited for dinner." A huge smile spread across Edward's face.
"Mom making pie?"
"Abso-fucking-lutely!"
"God I love mom's pies."
"Who doesnt?"
"So true. Well what time do we have to be there by?"
"Six. Oh and Gramps is a little crankier than usual."
"Great."
"Well you guys can get back to what you were doing." He sent her a smile and a little wave before leaving the room. She turned to see Edward staring at her.
"Do you want to go to the bench again tonight? We can get some chinese. Come on you know you want to. Mmmm chinese."
She paused for a second to pretend as if she were actually thinking it over. "Well that does mean free chinese food..." He smiled before pulling her into a hug.
"I'll pick you up at six thirty." A few minutes later she was on her way home thinking of all that had happened and replaying her kiss with Edward over and over in her mind until she arrived home to fall into her bed and fall asleep. She woke up to the doorbell ringing and jumped up to look at the clock,
6:42
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT!
Good thing she had fallen asleep in her clothes, as she ran down the stairs and into the hallway she grabbed her shoes and let her hair down to shake it out and pulled on her coat. She hopped the rest of the way down the hallway putting on her shoes, she passed the living room to see Alice and Jasper sitting on the couch looking at her like she was insane and trying to figure out what she was doing.
"Bye guys! Im going out!" Before they had a chance to respond she was already swinging the door open to reveal Edward standing on her porch.
"Hey. You ready to go?" He asked and she smiled and nodded hoping that she didnt look like a complete train wreck.
