A/N: Ok, so I've decided to keep going with Dust Between the Pages and I think it was a good choice. I just thought I would tell my readers that I don't exactly have a set posting schedule and I'm just going to post new chapters whenever inspiration strikes. This might be 2 days or maybe 2 weeks. I don't work well with deadlines. And one last thing; I want to dedicate this chapter to my very first reviewer, Sidne! Thanks for the review, and I hope you keep doing it!

I turned around, completely willing to postpone my lunch just to hear a bit more of that wonderful sound, and froze in place. If I thought the sound of his voice was attractive, his face may have been too much for me to handle.

Ok. This was completely unfair. The guy with the incredible voice had the most incredible face. Actually, in all honesty, I don't think there was enough hyperbole in the world to describe what he looked like. But I'll try to do it.

Well, to start, it was impossible to ignore his eyes. They were a beautiful piercing green; almost like emeralds with the way they practically glowed. He had good eyes. And his LIPS! They were perfectly shaped and slightly pouty. I barely contained myself from leapfrogging over the counter and permanently attaching my lips to his.

Contain yourself, Bella. Do you want him to think you're crazy? Although my puffy and red, tear-stained cheeks might have already done that job for me….

His cheekbones. If Michelangelo had been alive in the present, there would be a sculpture of this guy in no time. He could have graced the cover of any fashion magazine and sold out every copy.

"Is that okay?" I heard him ask. Huh? Oh, yes. He wanted to know if he could just get his book. Well, did he really expect to just walk in here and I would stay coherent? How could I keep up with an entire conversation and mentally violate him? Oh, I should probably answer him.

But all that comes out is, "Uhhhhhh". Oh, my gosh! Hasn't my life had enough embarrassment in the past seventeen years?!

"I really can come back later", he replies. But by the sound of it, he wasn't coming back to this store if a loon like me worked here. Well what did you expect? You look like you're crazy, with first the crying and now the stuttering. In fact, you're lucky he doesn't call the police, with you ogling him like a piece of finely cooked meat!

Wait, no. He can't leave!

"NO!" I burst out.

"Ok……". Oh, he was probably so freaked out by now.

"I mean, there's no need to do that. If you told me the book you need I could get it for you. From the stockroom. We just got…..restocked. So I can do that. If you want". I was just rambling at this point.

"Are you sure? It's no problem for me."

"Absolutely!" Calm down Bella, don't yell at the poor guy! "Just tell me the name of the book. It'll be somewhere under your name. Umm, which is….?" To be honest, I was happy that I could know his name (not in a stalkerish way, or anything ).

"It's Cullen. My name is Edward Cullen". Edward Cullen. Even his name had a sort of classic, noble quality about it.

"Well….. Edward, what's the name of the book you needed?"

"Um, I think it's called…….oh, I forgot. I'll just come back next time, really." And without another word, he walked out of the store at a brisk pace.

In less than ten minutes, three people ran away from me. This really cannot be good for my weak self esteem.

A/N: Ok, so did you like the chapter? I know it's really short but remember I'm in high school! I'm lucky I finished my homework In time to even update this! So, please review and give me criticism. I can't get better if you don't! Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this, it means so much.
