"Yes sir. What can I help you with?" I turned to see a pair of dashing green eyes staring back at me.

His eyes drew me in like gravity to an elephant. So strong and powerful. They were so beautiful I just couldn't look away.
"Well I'm looking for something for my sister. It's her birthday soon and I have no idea what to get her, could you please help me?" His velvet voice was so perfect, I could have listened to this man speak for hours.
I realised I was staring at him far too long than necessary and shook my head to clear it.
"Dr. Cullen… Is that you?" I asked as I recognised the man standing before me. His wet, tussled bronze, bed hair, wind blown from the weather outside - I didn't realise how much the rain and wind had picked up outside.
"Oh, um… Isabella Swan right?" He presumed.
"Yes. Please call me Bella." I replied, my voice surely showing some sign of adoration. I just couldn't' keep my eyes from his. They were green to the extreme, with just a hint of gold topaz in them. They were so stunning, he was…dazzling me.
"Yes, Bella. Well, um, would you please be able to help me out. You know its very hard to shop for a girl. Especially when she's in new clothes everyday." He asked as I composed myself enough to help him out.
I could hear Jessica laughing and Jacob silently cursing at Dr. Cullen.
"Um… Well, is she punky, funky or chirpy?" I asked, it was usually easier to tell what a customer wanted when you knew their type.
"Definitely chirpy," he said as he chuckled to himself.
"Well, then your in the wrong area of the store then." I laughed jokingly with him. As I took him to the brighter area of the store. "This is something your sister would probably like," I said as I showed him a cute little top. I held in front of myself a small white top with a purple and red butterfly embroidered on it. It also had small red and purple lace shoulder cuffs with beautiful flower designs on them.
I handed it to him and started back towards the counter to ring up his purchase for him, but he grabbed my arm. I turned to him just as he asked "Will you try it on for me? Just so I can see how it looks. You look about her size," he stood then, waiting for my answer.
"Um… Yeh, sure, why not?" and I grabbed the shirt off him once again and lead him over to the changing rooms.
"I don't usually wear this type of thing, so don't blame me it doesn't look any good!" I yelled over the changing room door.
"I'm sure you'll look just wonderful." He retaliated.
"Yeh, right…" I whispered only loud enough for myself to hear. Then as I stepped out of the changing room I realised that I'd gained a little audience. Three pairs of eyes were staring at me instead of just one. Standing before me were, Dr. Cullen, who I'd expected, then Jacob and Jessica had wandered over quietly enough that I couldn't hear.
They just stood there, wide eyed and smiling at me until finally Dr. Cullen spoke just one word, "wow", it was all he had to say, then I blushed a dark crimson. The blood flooding to my face as I turned my head away biting my bottom lip so hard I thought I would break right through it.

As I stood waiting for Bella Swan to come out of the dressing room I wondered if she would realise that I was only here for her company. I only had one sister, and she was quite petite. Though Bella didn't even know my name so I don't think she would realise that over the next few weeks I would be stopping by her shop to buy for many 'girls', just to have the pleasure of her company.
As the door creaked open, the other woman working in the store wandered over to check out Bella. Along with the young man who was with her at the hospital just yesterday.
Then Bella stepped out of the changing room looking even more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. The lovely white top she had just tried on for me looked so beautiful on her, I was glad then that I got up the courage to ask her to try it on for me. I couldn't' stop the first words that came out of my mouth "Wow…" I said just before she blushed an attractive crimson.
"Bella, you look so hot right now," the young man said as he pulled her into a loving embrace.
Of course she had a boyfriend. How could I not have know? At that moment I felt a sudden urge of jealousy, that man was so lucky to have a woman like that.
"Thanks Jake." she replied as she gave him a small kiss. A kiss that started a new wave of jealousy.
"Well, um… thank-you Bella. I think she will really love it." I told her as I headed back to the display rack to grab a smaller size whilst she was getting undressed, just so she wouldn't notice. The girl called Jessica rang up my purchase and I was just about to walk out the door when I walked into the young man who had kissed Bella only moments ago.
"If you ever try to hit on Bella again I will knock your lights out. Go it Cullen?" He practically screamed 'I'm jealous!' when he said that to me and I felt a little better about that. I small smile made itself present on my lips just as Bella came out of the changing room and Jacob had already pulled her into a hug.
"Thank-you Bella. Have a nice day." I said to her as I walked out the door.
"Bye Dr. Cullen," she called after me.
