A/N: Thanks for all the reviews once again! I have come to the decision that I am going to write a lemon…that should be up in a few chapters, but I'll keep you posted about that. Just to put some of your minds at ease, it will definitely be a Bella and Edward one. I would never even dream of writing a Bella and Mike lemon, that's just…ugh!
I don't own anything in relation to Twilight, but you all know that!

I got up reluctantly and opened my MacBook Air, slowly. Last night was, well amazing. I hadn't had this much fun on a date for ages, and it wasn't just the fun, it was also the comfort.
I didn't have to pretend to be interested in anything he said, I really was. I didn't feel awkward telling him about myself either.
I quickly typed in my email address and password into Hotmail, tapping my fingers and waiting for the page to load.
1444 unread emails, to say I hardly ever checked my mail would be an understatement.
I was the sort of person who made lots of different accounts everywhere, and ended up forgetting the passwords and address itself to half of them.
I didn't have the time or patience to go through all of them, so I just skimmed through the latest ones.
Half of them were just promotional adds for random crap I had signed up to at some point, and then there was the regular chain mails your friends sent around, threatening that someone would come and kill you at midnight if you didn't forward the message on; they pissed me off the most.
I sighed when I reached an email, from my best friend Alice. Alice and I had been friends for ages, forever as far as I could remember.
She was the sort of friend you would call as soon as something amazing happened, the sort of friends who would talk to for ages, comforting you when you were suffering from a major heartbreak, telling you not to overdo on the ice-cream.
When we had finished college, she had moved to New York, with her parents. Eventually taking up a job as an interior designer.
We still didn't lose contact though, I still told her everything. Everything, except the fact that I had moved to New York; she would be ecstatic.
Alice was another reason why I chose New York; I would finally get to be closer to her again. I quickly opened the email, and scanned through it. I was just about to reply, when I noticed the time. Shit, I had to get to work soon.
I threw myself in the bathroom and speedily brushed my teeth and hair. I decided to go for some light make-up and then proceeded to my clothes.
I chose a chocolate brown knee-length dress, with a waist belt, and some matching wedges. They were a pain to walk in all day, but I would manage. I grabbed some big hoop earrings from my jewelery box, and examined the final effect.
I decided that I had time for a quick coffee, and a bar. With all that done, I grabbed my bag and folders, and made it to work just in time. I walked through the main door, and spotted Edward talking to Emmett and Jasper.
"Bella," Edward said happily, smiling. I smiled back, just as widely.
"Good morning," I said to all of them.
"It sure is," Emmett replied, winking. Edward stared at Emmett, and Emmett shrugged innocently. I laughed whole-heartedly.
"Ummm Bella, we're going to have an important meeting so if you'd like to take care of your things, and then meet me in my office." Edward said to me.
I nodded to signify I understood, and quickly made my way to my office. I dumped my folders and some documents on my desk, and made my way over to Edward's office, with my bag.
They were already seated there, so I knocked before going in. "Come in," Edward's voice announced. "Ah Bella, take a seat," he offered gesturing to one next to Emmett.
I gladly obliged, and crossed my legs gracefully at my knees. Emmett winked at me and I smiled back at him.
"Okay, so Bella we've been thinking of renovating the hotel for quite some time now, and we're deciding to go through with it." Edward informed me. I nodded, understanding.
"So I want you to find to find me some good painters, designers." He said quickly. "We need to re-carpet a few of the rooms, do you understand what I'm saying?" He asked, just making sure.
"Of course," I thought back to earlier on today, to Alice. "In fact I have a friend who's an interior designer. I'll call her and I'm sure she'll be happy to help out."
"Excellent," he said smiling. "I would really appreciate it if you could do that."
"I'll do it now," I said, going through my bag for my iPhone. I searched for Alice's number.

She went through her contacts looking for the right number. I watched as she held the iPhone up to her ear.
She looked unbelievably gorgeous today, and happy. That could only mean one thing, good date last night. I cringed thinking of Tanya; she was incredibly drunk, and a complete mess.
Bella's voice pulled me out of my daze. "Alice," She said excitedly.
"Bellaaaaa," I heard a high-pitched voice squeal from the other end.
"How are you going?" Bella asked her. I couldn't really hear much of the conversation from then on. I assumed Alice had asked Bella where she was because Bella suddenly replied, "I'm in New York."
"YOU'RE IN NEW YORK AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Alice screamed. Bella sighed.
"Alice, relax, breathe." She covered the phone with her hand. "Excuse me for a moment," She said, taking the call outside. As soon as the door closed behind her Emmett exploded.
"She looks nice today," Emmett said to me. Great this is just fantastic.
"Yeah, I guess," I replied trying to sound indifferent.
"You guess, you were practically staring at her," Emmett countered grinning.
"I was not," I said defensively,
"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Emmett shot back shrugging. Damn it Emmett, as long as he let it go. "She looks happy as well," Emmett commented. "Do you think Mike and her had…"
"I seriously doubt they had sex on the fist date," I snapped cutting him of. Emmett shrugged again.
A part inside of me questioned, what if they did. Jealousy flared, no they wouldn't have I tried to convince myself. Jasper was just about to ask me something when the door opened again, and Bella walked through.
"Sorry about that," she apologized. "Alice is very…"
"Lively," Emmett suggested, smirking. Bella nodded chuckling, and then she turned towards me.
"She said, she'd be happy to do the job, and she should be in tomorrow."
"Thanks Bella," I said partially relieved.
'I'll get started on the others right away," She said.
"We'll be closing down the hotel, soon." Emmett added in. I began to feel stressed again, renovating wasn't going to be easy. Bella nodded, and walked towards the door.
"Ummm call me in you need anything else," She said turning back to me.
"Oh he will," Emmett assured. I waited till Bella had closed the door, and then I punched him. It did more damage to me then him. I held up my hand in pain, and Emmett laughed.
