I woke up to my alarm going off for the first time. I hit it and sighed. I didn't want to get up and I really didn't want to even think about going to work. Wait! I sat bolt upright. I was starting my exchange program today, at my new office and with my new collogues. Oh sweet Jesus! I jumped out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had been worrying last night about it and had found it hard to full asleep. So I did the one thing I knew that would help me sleep I called Edward. Ever since the night we'd spent at his parents I hadn't been able to stop myself from seeing him everyday. I knew he was going back to work today as well which meant we'd see less of each other. When I had rang him last night he just sat and talked with me for ages and soon I was falling asleep on the phone to him so he wished me goodnight and said he'd see me in the morning. He'd offered a few days ago to get the tube with me to work so I wouldn't have to worry about how to get there. Even though I knew exactly where I was going it was nice not to have to worry about the fact I might miss my stop.

I jumped into the shower and let the hot water calm my nerves and it worked I was completely relaxed. Until I got out the shower that was, as soon as I stepped out I could feel myself start to worry again. I walked back into my room and picked up the clothes I had sorted out last night to wear. I was wearing a simple pair of black work trousers and a blue top with a blazer over the top. I looked at myself in the mirror once I had done my bit of make up and hair. I looked decent enough and smiled at the glow that seemed to be coming off me. I suddenly felt excited to start this new job. I was in a new country, with my best friend, I'd made amazing friends since I arrived, I had even got a boyfriend in the three weeks I'd been here. Starting a job this was going to be the easy part. I smiled and nodded to myself. I was feeling more confident as I walked out into the living room. Alice was in the kitchen making coffee and I could have kissed her for it. I mean even though Edward had helped me to sleep it wasn't till late. Alice smiled at me and handed me a cup of coffee as I walked into the kitchen. She was all dressed and ready to start the day. We made two bowls of cereal and talked about everything and anything. There was a knock on the door at 8 and Alice grinned at me knowing exactly who it was by my smile on my face.

"I'll let him in I've got to leave anyway I promised I'd meet Jazz on the way to work" Alice told me as she grabbed her coat "Good luck today not that you'll need it. I love you B!" She shouted on her way out

"Love you too Ally!" I shouted back.

Edward walked up the hallway where Alice had disappeared down. I almost chocked on my coffee when I saw him. In the three weeks I'd been here I'd only seen Edward in jeans and t-shirts but today he was in a suite and god did he look good! He smiled at me and gave me a kiss as a hello. I looked him over his hair was still in its messy style but I liked it. He looked so good in that suite and I half wished I'd seen him in it earlier. I finished my bowl up and Alice's that she'd left and washed them up at the sink. I then turned to Edward smiled at him, he'd been watching my every move. I think he was expecting me to be nervous and jumpy. But my prep talk earlier still seemed to be working. I knew as soon as I saw the building I was working at though that would change. I walked back over to Edward who turned and opened his arms to me I walked right into them. I always felt better when he hugged me. Leaned back from the hug and gave him a sweet kiss as a thank you.

"You know you'll be fine. Your just doing exactly what you were doing back home but here" Edward reassured me as I run my fingers through his hair messing it up more than it already was.

"I know that. It's just what if I don't get on with my co workers or something. Or my bosses hate me" I said releasing my insecurities.

"That's not possible Bella. Your to nice of a person for anyone to hate" Edward smiled at me. He was always so sure of himself.

"You're biased" I stated smiling at him. In truth he'd made me feel better but I wasn't going to let him know.

"True but there's a reason for that" Edward smirked "Come on we better get going"

"Yeah I guess" I sighed and walked over to grab my bag.

We walked out of my building and headed just down the street to the underground. Edward kept hold of my hand the whole time making sure I didn't lose him. Once we were on the tube there was chance of conversation as it was way to packed. I was pushed up against Edward with some man standing to close to me for my liking but it was extremely cramped. Edward didn't even seem bothered at all by any of it. I guess he had grown up with it so he was use to it. When it got to the station I needed Edward helped us get through the crowd and got off the train. Once we were safely on the platform we headed back up to the ground walked the 5 minute walk to my office building. We stopped across the road and I looked up at the place that was to be my new work place where I would probably spend most of my time at.

"How you feeling?" Edward asked me

"I'm terrified that I'm going to completely muck this up and end up losing my job here and back home but other than that I can't wait" I told him

"You worry way to much. You will be amazing and do an amazing job!" Edward smiled at me. "If you need me I'm a phone call away I work like 2 minutes down the road anyway. If your lunch is before 1:30 call me and we'll meet for lunch if you want"

"Thank you Edward. You're an amazing guy and I don't think I could do this without you or Alice. I'll call you later and tell you how it goes" I smiled at him

"I'll be at yours later anyway Alice invited all of us over for dinner to celebrate you starting your new job" Edward grinned at me

"Okay good. I'll call you." With that said I kissed him on the cheek and crossed the street.

Once I walked into the building I walked up to the 7th floor where I knew my offices where. Once I got there I walked up to the reception desk and told the women, Mrs. Cope, who I was. She smiled at me warmly and told me to take a seat and someone would be here in a minute to show me around. I sat down and not even two minutes later a girl with dark brown hair and wearing a outfit similar to mine walked over to me.

"Hi Isabella, My names Angela." The girl spoke to me and shook my hand

"Please call me Bella" I smiled back

"Well Bella I'm here to help you settle in but I think your be fine it basically like back home" She grinned at me. It wasn't till then that I realized that she wasn't English. She too was American.

"Thanks, when do you move over to England if you don't mind me asking?" I questioned I was starting to feel better about the fact my accent wouldn't be out of place.

"I moved here last year actually. On the same program you're on. There were 3 of us and well after a year of working here I got offered a job for good here and well there were other things that drew me to my decision to stay in England for good" She explained to me leading me down through a row of desks and cubicles. As we walked she pointed out things I'd need to know. "And this is my cubicle right next to yours"

"Really? Well it will be nice to at least know one person here" I smiled at her

"We've got time before the meeting so how has your first 3 weeks in England been?" She asked me

"It's actually been amazing. I moved in with my best friend from college and met her twin brother for the first time and now were dating. Believe me when I say I do not normally start going out with a guy till I know him really well but we click. Does that sound weird?" I told her

"Nope not at all. 4 weeks into my time here I met this guy at a café called Ben and we sort of clicked. So everyday at lunch we'd meet at this café and talk. Then I'd been here about 2 months and he asked me out. I was so happy and I'm still with him since. He was part of the reason I didn't want to leave England and when they offered me a job here I couldn't say no." Angela smiled

"Aww that's so sweet. What happened to the other two that came with you?" I asked

"Well they both went back to America to work I guess but they didn't get offered a job. I have no clue why I did but they apparently just thought I fit in here well" She explained

"Am I the only new one here?" I questioned looking around at all the other cubicles.

"No there 2 more like last time but everyone has someone different to help them settle in" Angela replied

"Oh right. I'm actually so glad I got you" I smiled at her

"Me too Bella. Believe me I was expecting some stuck up person but I'm glad that we have something in common" Angela grinned back at me.

We sat and talked about things a bit more. I learned that Angela was from Washington not far from where I use to live. Soon we were called into a conference room. In the room was me, Angela and 4 other people. In front of us stood a man in a suite lucky for me he was smiling and very welcoming. He welcomed all of us and I learned that the other two people's names were Bree and Riley. It was a very relaxed meeting and our boss whose name was Mr. Banner was actually really nice. He joked with us but at the same time got his point across. We were told we'd each get an article to write and it was up to us to decide how we wrote it or researched it. He through folders at each of us and sent us on our way. I followed Angela back to her cubical and didn't open the folder till I got back. Once I knew my topic me and Angela helped me to get sorted out. I pulled out my laptop and started looking for the information I needed. Angela told me I was free to go to lunch whenever I wanted. We were allowed to leave the office as soon as our morning meetings were over.

In the folder I was given along with my topic for the article this week was a schedule and a list of numbers that could be helpful to get information. There were a list of numbers that I needed to put in my phone so I could call in to let them know if I was going to be in or if I was off site working. This is one of the reasons I'd become a journalist the freedom. I could go off and find things and then write my article when I had the time. I stayed in the office talking and working with Angela for the next couple of hours. I texted Edward and told him I'd meet him for lunch at 12. He replied telling me to meet him at a café that according to Angela was the same café she went to where she was meeting Ben her boyfriend. So we both headed down together when we were done. Once out the building we walked down the street five minutes later a little café came into view and just outside Edward was waiting for me. He smiled when he saw me coming down the street and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Hey" I smiled when we reached him

"Hey" He grinned hugging me

"This is Angela she's like my mentor from the office" I explained "Angela this is my boyfriend…"

"Edward Cullen" She said before I could

"You know each other?" I asked confused

"Bella everyone knows Edward Cullen. He's the guy that put James Smith away one of the worst murders in London for 10 years!" Angela explained

"Really? Did he now?" I turned to look at Edward completely surprised he left this bit of information out

"Not everyone knows me. Just a lot and it was nothing really I mean the police did all the work I just put across the evidence" Edward shrugged playing with the back of his hair. It was something he did went he was nervous.

"Oh no way! I wrote the article on it! There was barley any evidence but you put it across in such a way that you got him sent down for life. You were amazing! You were named the best upcoming prosecutor that England has" Angela gushed

Edward didn't know what to say to that he just looked at me unsure how I was taking this news "Okay well now that you know each other shall we eat" I smiled "Do you want to join us Angela?" I asked getting the topic away from Edwards job

"Oh no not today I promised Ben I'd meet him here before we go somewhere for lunch but you have my number Bella I should be back in the office by 1:30. I'll see you then. It was nice to meet you Edward" Angela smiled and waved as she headed down the road a bit.

With that me and Edward headed into the café and found a table. Once we'd ordered our drinks I turned to Edward and gave him the look that told him if he didn't start explaining I wasn't going to be happy.

"James Smith was a regular guy. He worked as a mechanic and had a girlfriend and friends completely normal guy on the outside. But then one night he goes out and takes a woman on her way home from work. Anne Solomon. He then kept her for 24 hours and tortured her till she died. Then he dumped her in a river. But before he went back home he went and found Kerry Peterson who was out for her regular jog. He took her and did the same thing. It continued on like this for over 2 months. Sometimes he would take one a week depending on how long he tortured them. It was all over the papers and the whole of London were getting more and more scared to leave there house. Finally he messed up. He left DNA because this girl scratched him. He was already in the database from petty crimes when he was younger. So they brought him in but he denied it all and said that he had met her before and they'd got into a fight where she'd scratched him. Then he had alibis for the whole time the girl was missing as he was with his girlfriend. So we had nothing. With that the case was going down and we had no other evidence. Then he attacked a girl but she was able to get away from him and get out into the street. Her name was Maria. She was taken to hospital and then she described James as the guy that had attacked her. She picked him out of a line up and we finally had a strong case. So we got a warrant to go search his home for evidence but got nothing. Then we realized he was a mechanic who had his own garage. Which is where we checked next and down in the basement was where they found he tortured these poor girls. So in the next month we collected all the evidence before the trail. It was my first big case and I couldn't wait to put this man behind bars for what he'd done to these poor women. It must have been halfway through the court case when everything was going well when I first received any threats from the man. He threatened to hurt my family if I didn't drop the case but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. So I carried on and he got sent down for all 16 counts of murder. This was about 3 weeks before you got here and my firm believed I needed the time off to recover after such a big case. So that's it" Edward explained, by this point our food had come.

I starred at him for a moment taking in all the information he had just told me. Edward had put away a man that tortured and killed women "Did you ever find out why he did it?" I asked him

"Yeah. He said he found it fun to belittle women to make suffer like he had at there hand" Edward explained "His mother use to beat him when he was younger and he was taken away from her by his father who remarried this women who turned out to in the end kill him. It messed him up. So on the anniversary of his father's murder was when he started to torture these women. It was the worst case I've ever had to work on but I'm glad to know I helped but such a monster away"

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" I asked him

To my surprise Edward laughed "Yeah Bella how would I of brought it up? 'Oh by the way I put one of the most sadist murders away in jail a few weeks ago. Do you want to go out to lunch?"

"Okay good point. Oh well it's over now right?" I smiled at him

"Yep he's away and won't ever be out on the streets ever again" Edward told me

For the rest of lunch we talked about a lot of less heavy topics. Most was about my job and how it was going. I told him about my boss and Angela. After we finished at the Café we walked around to a park that wasn't to far from either of our work. Edward had a meeting at 2 so we just walked and talked about random things. At 1:45 I left Edward to head back to work and so he could head to his meeting. When I got back to the office Angela was sitting at her desk but as soon as she saw me she jumped up and followed me into my cubicle. When I was sat down I turned to her she was sitting on a chair that was opposite me.

"I can't believe your dating the Edward Cullen." Angela exclaimed

"I didn't even know that he was so well known" I explained

"I guess its not one of them things that he would tell his girlfriend. I guess most people know about it in this country" Angela shrugged "He's cuter in person"

I laughed at that "So how was lunch with Ben?" I asked her

"It was good. He almost freaked out when I told him who I'd met. You've got yourself an amazing guy there. I mean not many people would continue to prosecute when a guy threatens there family." Angela sighed

"Yeah I guess not" I said thinking "Hey Angela do you still have the articles you wrote for the murders?"

"Yeah there all on my computer I can email them to you if you want" Angela told me

"Could you please?" I smiled at her.

"Sure" She said walking back to her station to send them to me.

I thanked her and we both got back to work. At about 5 most people were heading home but I wanted to finish off this bit of work I was doing. Angela said goodbye to me and I told her I'd see her tomorrow. I almost jumped out my seat when someone appeared in the corner of my eye. I turned to see it was only Alice.

"Jesus Alice you almost gave me a heart attack! What are you doing here?" I asked trying to get my heart to slow down.

"I came to pick you up its 6 and the guys are coming over at 7:30 for dinner. So I thought I'd come get you that way we can both get back and cook our famous Ally-Bella bolognaise with chocolate fudge cake for desert like back in College" Alice grinned

"Wow! I must of lost track of time. Thanks Alice. Just let me pack up and we can go" I smiled at her.

Once my laptop and papers were safely away in my bag we left. Once outside Alice jumped into her car and I jumped into the other side. In less that 15minutes Alice had pulled into our buildings car park and we were on our way up to the flat. I through my stuff onto my bed and quickly changed into more comfortable clothes. Alice had started dinner while I had changed. We worked around each other like we use to when we were students. It felt weird to be doing all this again like we'd gone back in time. With the radio playing and me and Alice dancing around the kitchen singing along to it we finished up making the meal. The cake was safely in the oven and Alice was melting chocolate and fudge together so it would all go together. At seven thirty there was a knock on the door. I went to get it considering Alice was trying to melt chocolate without getting it on her. I opened the door to find Jasper and Edward on the other side. I smiled at them and lead them back into the living room. I went back to the kitchen and pulled out the glasses and wine. About 5 minutes after Jasper and Edward had arrived there was another knock on the door. Both me and Alice had our hands full with the dinner so Edward jumped up and went and answered it for us. Emmett joined Edward and Jasper in the living room while Rose came and helped me and Alice finish serving dinner.

"Dinner is served!" Alice smiled and everyone came and sat around the table we had in the far corner of the room.

As we ate we talked about everything that had happened since we'd last seen each other. I was soon coming to realize that I was falling in love with my life in England. I had an amazing job, I got to live with my best friend and I had an amazing boyfriend who I was falling for more and more each day. Meeting Angela today had made me think about what I wanted from my life. She'd been such an amazing help today and I knew we'd become good friends the more time I spent with her. Being at this table with my friends made me feel like I'd been here all along not just 3 weeks. It felt like I belonged here. I had at least another 11 months of this and I couldn't wait for it.

Wow! Two chapters in 3 days on a roll! *Happy Dance*.

Anyway if your lucky I shall start typing the next chapter today and hopefully have it up in the next two days but I am not making any promises! Anyway press that button at the bottom the one that starts with an R and ends with eview!
