A/N: Hey guys, thanks for all the wonderful responses I'm getting. I knew you had it in you; keep up the good work! Like promised the next chapter is here…A lot of you guessed either Tanya or Emmett and it was a toss up between the two. But I think Tanya would be a little more fun, don't you think? A picture of Bella's dress at dinner is on my profile page.

I don't own anything in relation to Twilight but you all know that!

"Edward," a voice I never expected to hear right now said. I looked up from the papers on Bella's desk and saw Tanya standing there. Bella was standing by the door, which Tanya was now blocking, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Tanya," I said a little astonished. "Oh by the way Bella this is Tanya, and Tanya this is Bella…my secretary," I added in. Bella smiled at Tanya, and Tanya did what looked like a half-hearted attempt at trying to smile.

"Ummm, nice to meet you Tanya, I should get going," Bella, said awkwardly after a few minutes of silence.

"Sure, nice to meet you to," Tanya said with maybe a tint of hostility. She quickly moved out of the way.

"I'll see you tomorrow Edward," Bella said turning to me, with a small smile.

"Of course, have a nice night," I said smiling brightly. I swear I saw Tanya frown at this, when I looked back at her, her expression was neutral. Bella nodded and closed the door behind her. After a few minutes of silence, I asked Tanya, "How about we go into my office?"

"Sure, I guess," she replied opening the door and stepping out. I closed the door behind me. We walked silently into my office and I gestured toward one of the chairs. "So, what brings you here?" I asked her curiously.

"Well last night didn't really go so well, so I was wondering if you wanted to…you know…go out for dinner again, or something?" This made me feel guilty, I know Tanya was trying, and last night wasn't just her fault.

"Of course, let's just stop by my house first, I need to drop of some things." I said quickly.

I reached my apartment, and started getting ready for my date. I went over to my wardrobe so I could figure out what to wear. Dinner usually meant formal so I decided to dress accordingly.

I found a jade-blue satin dress with a little belt in the middle and decided it was perfect. It looked formal, now all I needed were shoes. I digged through my growing pile until I found some black heels. They went well with the dress, so I moved onto make-up.

I wanted to go light today so I stuck with some eye shadow and eyeliner. I used an eyelash curler to curl my lashes, so that they looked long but didn't look thick and black. I applied the regular coat of lip-gloss, and examined the final result.

I could never be as beautiful as Tanya but I was close enough. To tell the truth, I was a little scared of her; she was beautiful and intimidating. I heard a knock on my door and I quickly grabbed my bag. I opened the door to find Mike; he was wearing some black formal pants and a white shirt, with a black dinner jacket.

"Wow he said blinking, you look beautiful," He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed red; well I'm glad I didn't wear blusher.

"Thanks…you look great as well," I complimented him.

"Not as good as you," I blushed again at this comment. "So are you ready to go?"

"Umm yep, let me just lock up." I quickly grabbed my coat as well which was hanging on a hook by the door. We both stepped out and I quickly locked the door, throwing the keys into my bag. He led us to his car and opened the passenger door for me. "Thanks," I said sweetly.

"Anything for you," he walked over to his side and got in. "So do you mind where we go?" He asked.

"Well…I mean, since I'm new here I don't really know any good places, so I don't mind," I said quickly.

"Cool," he said starting the car. "I know this really good place called Puttanesca, it's a nice Italian restaurant."

"That sounds good," I said smiling. I hadn't had Italian in a very long time. After about 15 minutes we reached there. In the drive there we ended up talking a lot, and asking each other questions. When he parked the car he got out and opened my door for me. "Always the gentleman," I praised him, he smiled at this.

We walked in together and both stopped dead in our tracks. At the front of the restaurant, Tanya and Edward were siting at a table and talking. They both spotted us and Edward motioned for us to come over. Crap now what? I looked at Mike who was frowning. What a perfect first date, to see your boss there as well. "I guess we should go," I said to him quietly.

"Guess we should," He muttered and started to walk forwards. I followed after him until we were directly in front of their table.

"Hello Bella, Mike…why don't you join us?" Edward asked us smiling, as if nothing could have pleased him more then to see us there. Of course nothing could have pleased me more but that was a different story.

"Yes please do," Tanya added in, smiling although it seemed more like a glare.

"I don't know; we don't want to intrude." I said biting my lip. Mike nodded in agreement.

"Intrude, I wouldn't dream of it," Tanya said, doing that freaky smile again.

"If you insist," I said still biting my lip.

"We insist," Edward added in. After calling for some help we had successfully managed to set up two more chairs at the table. A thought popped into my mind, this was just like a double date.

"So…" Tanya said after a long awkward silence.

"Why don't we order," Edward suggested. God love him.

"Ummm, sure," I agreed. I grabbed one of the four menus and scanned through it quickly. "I'll have the Insalata di Cesare," it was a Classic Caesar salad with garlic bread croutons, Parmesan and anchovies. I wasn't in the mood for a big meal.

"That looks good," Mike commented. One by one, everyone slowly chose something and we placed our order.

"Any drinks?" The waiter asked; his pen poised hesitantly above his notepad.

"Drinks guys?" Edward asked his eyes resting on me.

"I'll have a lemon lime bitters," I stated.

"I'll have a coke," I heard Mike and Tanya announce at the same time.

"Umm, so that's one lemon lime bitters, two cokes and I'll have a chinotto," Edward told the waiter. The waiter finished writing that down, nodded and walked of.

"So Bella, Edward here was telling me it was your first day of work today, how did that go?" Tanya asked me politely. She actually didn't seem that bad, maybe I should just give her a chance.

"Pretty good actually," I replied smiling. After that the conversation flowed naturally. Everyone was talking about work and their jobs, until the food arrived. By then we were pretty hungry, so we all dug in.

When dinner was finished, they decided to play some music. Couples were swaying on the dance floor. "Bella do you want to dance," Mike asked me. Dancing was not really my thing; I mean I wasn't opposed to it; I just got a bit self-conscious. But what the hell, "Sure, why not." I said to Mike, and he led me towards the floor.

Soon more and more couples started to join us and I even saw Edward and Tanya. Random people were going around and asking others to dance. A tall guy, roughly the same age as me approached me and asked me if I wanted to dance. Mike said he didn't mind so I was now dancing with a complete stranger, and you know what…it was actually fun. I felt a hand tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Edward there.

"Miss Swan, may I have this dance?" He asked me courteously, with a bow.
