Chapter 5

"Bella, Frank and I have discussed everything regarding your hiring and fees. I really think you would do well here. What do you think?" Linda said.

Hell yes I want it…I just left the side of Edward…fucking…Cullen. Oh, forgive my language I said to myself.

"Uh I think I would like to work for you Frank. I just need to secure living quarters that will suit my needs." I said.

"Well Linda was telling me of your "needs" and I just happen to have a house on the lake not too far from here. It has five bedrooms each with their own bath and plenty of room to do whatever. My kids and family aren't really "camping" people so tomorrow we can go see it if you like?"

I sat there and kept waiting for me to wake up from this dream.

"Frank are you sure? It sounds perfect because honestly I am not really a stay in a trailer or hotel room type of person either. Just take the rent and utilities out of my check. I am sure it will be a great place to stay." I said.

"Great, I will have Kevin take you guys back to the hotel shall I come for you around 11am and we can go see the house and I will take everybody out to lunch. How does that sound?"
"Who is everybody?" I asked.

"I thought you would like sometime with the cast. Linda tells me you are a top-notch PA and would like to get to know her "future" patients." I gave Linda "the look".

"Oh stop it Bella, you know you have to do your medical thing…I am sure you are already planning out some type of medical form to fill out on them. Am I right?" She said smugly.

"Yes you are correct." I said meekly.

"Frank I do want to see what kind of medical equipment will be available to me on set or location, sorry not sure of the movie lingo. Will I be there while you are filming each scene?"

"Bella I know that having you there with us will make all of us feel better. We do some pretty crazy stunts, and unfortunately, Edward and your brother are quite the practical jokers. Therefore, some minor injuries have occurred. It will be great having a medical person there to keep them from killing each other." He said as he laughed. But I could tell he was serious.

"Yes we can't have your show-dogs getting injured; I guess they don't realize that they aren't really vampires, huh?"

"No I say they really get into their characters once make-up is on. Edward is the most impressive when it comes to slipping into character. You will be amazed how easy it is to go from the British accent to Edward accent. Not sure how he does it."

I nodded my head while the image of "Edwards" danced in my head. The hours have taken their toll on me. I yawned and then shivered. I forgot I still had wet clothes on.

"I'm sorry I guess I am really tired. Do you mind if I go on to the hotel, tomorrow sounds like a busy day." I asked and yawned again.

"Of course Bella. Let me see if Kevin can take a few of you on to the hotel. You people are all staying on the same floor at the hotel. I will call when I leave the house in the morning Bella." He stood up and extended his hand to me.

"It will be a pleasure to work with you Bella. Thank you for joining our little family of misfits." He said.

"I can't tell you how excited I am; you may regret this but I hope not." I said.

"Oh and Bella, I haven't forgot about your talent for picking out details. I look forward to your opinion."

I walked outside to say goodnight to Jasper and the rest.

"So who all is ready to go back to the hotel, Bella is headed back now. Seems this Texas girl has passed her bedtime and is in need of her beauty sleep." Frank said as he turned to me and smiled. I am sure I turned 12 shades of red as another yawn slipped out.

"Ya I think I could head back too." Edward said as he looked at me and smiled.

"Me too." Jasper said as he pulled Alice to his side.

It ended up that me, Linda, Edward, Jasper and Alice, Emmett and Rosalie all piled into the limo. I was the last in and all the seats were taken so I looked around.

"Uh where do you guys think I am going to sit?"

"Come here Bella we are both damp still, so no harm no foul." Edward opened his arms for me to sit on his lap. He smiled and blushed at me.

"Are you sure? I might be heavy…" I said.

"Bella what do you weigh, 90-95 pounds soaking wet? Come here love I think I can handle it." Edward said in that beautiful accent that he has.

I gulped and thought to myself…I am going to die. The girls back home are not going to believe that I am fixing to sit on Edward Cullen.

"Okay if you are sure, don't come crying to me tomorrow when your legs are crampy." He laughed and pulled me into his lap.

Once we were all seated Kevin shut the door and off we were to the hotel. Sitting in Edward's lap was amazing. I think that exhaustion finally took over and I laid my head on his shoulder not even thinking what I was doing. His arms tucked me into him. I felt Edward kiss my forehead. I really must have died and gone to Edward-heaven.

Soon we had arrived at the hotel. "Bella." I heard Edward whisper. "Huh." I said. "We are here can you walk?"

"Oh ya, I'm sorry I guess I am more tired than I thought. I am terribly..." I started to say as he placed his index finger over my lips to hush me.

"Shhh…Bella, I really didn't mind. Snuggling with a beautiful sleeping woman is my kind of evening." He said.

"Here let me help you." He stepped out of the door that Kevin held open and assisted my tired ass out of the limo.

"Goodnight Kevin, I guess I will see you in the morning." I said.

"Goodnight Miss Bella, it will be a pleasure driving you while you are here." He said.

"Thanks." I started to walk away and stumbled over my own two feet. I felt arms catch me before I fell all the way.

"Whoa Bella, I think you are still sleepy." Edward said as he picked me up bridal style. I let out a scream. "I got you Bella. We need our "doc" healthy and not on crutches." He said.

"Kevin, what room is Bella in?"

"She is in 1404; here is her key. So you are taking her up then?" Kevin asked.

"Sure, we are all on the same floor. Where are her things?"

I just watched their conversation as if they forgot I was actually in their presence. Kevin handed me the card to the room.

"Edward this really isn't necessary, I am awake now." I said as I looked into the eyes of the most handsome man on the planet.
"What if I want to carry you up?" He said as he winked.

"Okay then get me to bed." That was out of my mouth before I knew it. He looked at me with raised eyebrows and laughed.

"I won't even touch that Bella." He said.

"Uhhh….you know what I mean." I ducked my head in embarrassment. He laughed at me.

As we walked through the lobby, people turned and stared. I am so thankful that it is late enough where the "fan girls" of Edwards aren't stalking him. How rude are people like that? I may have hoarded pictures of him but I would never interfere in his personal life or time. There really should be a law regarding those greedy photographers and fans.

Some people cheered. Do they think he was really taking me to bed? Oh my goodness…

"Really Edward you can put me down, I am fine." I said as the elevator doors closed. He slipped a card into a slot and pushed floor 14. I looked at him curiously.

"We are on the top floor Bella, it's secured so when you come back here; just slip it in the slot and that unlocks the number of the floor, okay?" I nodded. Oh shit, I thought to myself. I get to live as if I am one of them.

Soon the doors opened up to this beautiful marbled entryway.

"Wow, this is beautiful. Where is my room?" I asked. He grabbed my hand and led me out of the elevator. "Your room is next to mine. Isn't that convenient?" He said stopping in front of what I assumed was my room.

"Uh yes it is." I have no idea why I said that. Why is it convenient?

"Bella, will you have breakfast with me in the morning?" He asked. Where did this shy person come from?

"Are you sure? I..I..(why am I stuttering), uh ya, I guess." I said.

"Bella, you don't have to if you don't want to." He said with a disappointed tone in his voice.

"Oh sorry Edward, of course I would thank you for asking. Where do I meet you?"

"Give me your cell number and I will call you when it's ready." I exchanged numbers with him. (Holy cow, I have Edward Cullen in my contact list.

"Okay, so we will eat where exactly?" Still not sure where he was leading me.

"In my room, I will have it delivered. Any requests?" He asked.

I thought to myself. Well if I get up and run my 3 miles, I could afford to splurge on some calories.

"I would really love some blueberry pancakes and coffee." I said as I rubbed my stomach, did I eat tonight, I don't remember.

"Are you hungry Bella?" He asked.

"You know, I don't remember eating tonight. But it's really late, and I have to get up and run before I eat those blueberry pancakes."

"Here come look in your room let's see if we can feed this Texas girl." He said as he took the keycard from my hand and led me into my room. Of course, I followed him in my room. And yes I stole a look at those low rising jeans; and yes of course I looked at the elastic band of his what I assumed were boxer briefs. Yummy!

"Wow, this is nice." I said to myself.

"Ya it's nice here but hotel living isn't really for me. But it's part of the job." He said as he walked over to a table.

"Bella there is some fruit, would you like that?"

Another embarrassing yawn took over. "I am so sorry Edward; I didn't realize how tired I am. I didn't get a wink of sleep last night."

"Ya I should let you go and get your rest. Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything." He said as he walked over to me and handed me an orange.

"Goodnight Bella, sleep well." He said as he kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight Edward and you too, thank you for everything. I had fun." I said. He stepped back away from me and sort of bowed. Oh good lord, this man is perfect. I smiled at him and waved as he turned to leave. Oh the butt again. He is going to catch me staring at him I just know it.

"See you in the morning "my Bella"." He said as he closed the door.

I turned to walk to the shower. Then stopped in my tracks. "My Bella" I said aloud. He is just being nice stupid "fan girl" Edward Cullen does not date stupid, nurses from Texas. Let alone girls like me. He needs to date girls that are beautiful like Tanya. Beautiful man deserves beautiful woman. I wonder if they are hooked up. Where was she tonight I thought to myself?

After my shower I put on a t-shirt and walked over to my bedroom, Linda I guess was already asleep in her room. Yes, this suite had two separate bedrooms. I could live this lifestyle. I know I can afford to do it but I really want a house and a yard with kids and a husband that looked like Edward Cullen. I climbed into my bed; plugged in my phone to charge. I closed my eyes and the most beautiful piano music came through the walls. I got up and walked out into the living area; a TV or radio must be on.

"Huh, nothing out here is on." So I walked to my bedroom. The melody was beautiful. I recognized it; the piece was one I had to dance to when my mom had me in cotillion. I slid down into the bed and pulled the covers up. I listened for a while and I guess sleep took over.

"What the crap is that vibrating sound?" I thought to myself. Oh earth to Bella, wake-up…it is your phone sleeping beauty.

"Hello."

"Good morning beautiful" Edward said in his beautiful accent.

"Oh…good morning, I'm sorry I didn't hear the phone."

"Were you sleeping, oh Bella I am so sorry. Go back to sleep; call me when you are ready for your blueberry pancakes. Did you not sleep well last night?" He asked. Why does he care? I thought to myself.

"I did, but it took a while. Somebody was playing the piano…it was so beautiful I didn't want to miss it. I don't know if it was real or if somebody was listening to a recording. I cannot place the song. I racked my brain for a while, and then I guess the music lulled me to sleep. It really was beautiful. I was always jealous of those that could play like that."

"Uh…Bella again I apologize. I just wasn't ready to sleep so I thought if I played for a while it would relax me enough to sleep."

Silence….

"Bella? Are you there or did you fall asleep on me?" How I wish…I thought to myself.

"Uh…no I didn't fall asleep on you." I giggled.

"Ya that didn't come out very gentlemanly, did it? But yes that was me playing again so sorry for the noise." Really? He is apologizing…for the noise.

"Edward Cullen…that song was…" He interrupted me.

"It's Claire de Lune." He said answering the question that bugged me all night.

"That's it…thank you. And really, you are apologizing? You're playing was beautiful. I should be thanking you. I really felt keyed up and you relaxed me." Again with the dirty images in my head.

Bad Bella, Bad Bella…he is totally out of your reach. Besides, doesn't "Tanya" act as his girlfriend?

"Well I can play for you later if you want."

"Wow, I would be honored to listen to you play. Why are all of you people so damn talented? Ya'll could have shared the talent. It is not fair that you people are beautiful to look at; you act…now you can play the piano as well. I guess next you will tell me you can dance and sing."

Silence….

"Really? I am feeling so inadequate right now. Because my brother is talented as well." I said.

"Bella, get dressed and come on over for breakfast I would love to learn about Bella and I am sure she has talents that none of us have."

"Okay one more question. Do you speak any foreign languages?" I asked. Please say no so I do not feel like such a hillbilly from the south.

"Buena mattina, la mia Bella." He spouted off beautifully.

"No way Edward, was that Italian? I am going back to Texas after breakfast." I said with a sigh.

"Please don't, and yes that was Italian. Would you like it in Portuguese?" He asked.

"Yep back to Texas, you are truly disgusting and I am not worthy to be in the same room as you."

"On the contrary, it is I that am out classed by you. This is my job to know different languages before I acting I only knew the "Queen's English" as you American's call it. I am just a regular bloke that has to study a lot for his job."

"So Bella please say you will have breakfast with me. I promise not to show off anymore."

"Is that what you were doing? Showing off?" I asked.

"Well….yes. I wanted to impress you."

"Why Edward?" I asked. Not sure, I wanted to hear the answer.

"I like you. And I am hoping we get a chance to get to know each other. Unless you don't want to mix business with pleas….I mean friendship or whatever." Interesting I thought. Was he going to say pleasure? No Bella don't read into what he said, he is just being nice to Jasper's little sister. I bet he told him to be nice to me since I had this huge crush on him.

"Okay, let me get ready and I will be there in, let's say 20 minutes or so. But let me warn you, my makeup is not coming on this early so beware. Just have coffee ready, okay?"

"I am sure you don't need makeup and yes the coffee will be waiting for you."

"Okay thanks."

"Bye my Bella."
