Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Just my alternate Universe that I control –evil smile-

AN: WHOA! I didn't expect so many reviews for the first chap, especially since almost nothing happened! This is still dedicated to Independant Mind! The story will take a few chaps to really get going, so that's why I'm going to try write two chapters by Monday night so just be patient if it takes me a while :) On to the story! –gasp- Bella & Edward's first encounter!

"Huh?" I said as I turned around. Then I gasped. "Oh my God!"

When did he get in here? Before I could verbalize my shock I froze. His gaze caught mine. It wasn't so much as a gaze; it was a full blown glare. His golden eyes burning, as if he could make me catch on fire if he glared hard enough. I just stared back into them, doe eyed. After what felt like an eternity full of curiosity, wonder, and hell, he finally moved his eyes from mine and broke me free from his control.

I took a deep breath, not realizing I had stopped breathing. Whoa, what was that for? After being free from staring into his cold, yet burning eyes, I finally took a look at his face. He had high cheek bones and chiseled features; perfect and smooth in everyway as if cut from the purest, whitest stone in the world. Like an angel. I resisted the urge to put my hand out and see if his cheeks felt as smooth as it looked. Well, he IS supposed to be my 'husband'… I mentally shook those thoughts out my mind. I hardly know the man. I mean, I haven't even read his file yet!

My eyes traveled up from his beautiful face to his hair. It looked as if someone took a brand new, shiny penny and decided to bless this man with that beautiful color in the form of shaggy, but stylish, hair.

Next, I looked at his clothes. He wore a black v-neck sweater that hugged him tightly. I could tell just by looking that he had layers of muscle underneath. He had an expensive looking white jacket on top of that and had on a pair of slightly loose navy jeans. Wow, looks like he's got money. When I looked back up, he was staring at me again with a look that made me physically flinch.

"Bella, Edward. Edward, Bella" my boss introduced lazily.

"Um, nice to meet you" I say. Nice way to start off… He looked like he wanted to kill me before I even said hi.

His response was a slight nod; so slight I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the fact I couldn't stop staring at his angelic face.

The tension in the room just grew thicker as my boss tried to make a joke. "Ha! You guys have been married for 5 minutes and it already seems like I should sign you up for marriage counseling."

"Ha… ha… ha..." I replied weakly, still glancing out the corner of my eyes at Edward. I swear I could feel hate coming off him in waves. I tried to ignore it and pay attention to what Boss said next.

"Edward, here is Bella's file," he said as he gave him a stack of paper. How come his file was only one sheet of paper while mine is a stack? "I've already given her your file." At this I saw his jaw clench and his eyes narrow. He glared daggers at Boss. I can see why Boss didn't want to tell me about his past. This guy has major issues. I wonder what's so big about his past that he gets angry at just the mention of it.

"Well, I would tell you good luck, but that would be jinxing it." We both were handed a little silver cell phone. "I expect a call once a week with an update on your mission. If anything, and I mean anything, goes wrong give me a call and I'll send backup." At that, Boss dismissed us. Before I could even move from my seat, Edward was already out the door.

Once out that damned office, I could finally start breathing again. What the hell was that? That smell! The smell of her blood; it was just too much for me. I've never smelled anything so… delicious… before. She owes me a big thank you. She would be dead right now if it were just a few years earlier…. Maybe if we were in a dark alley… No! I. Will. Not. Think. Of. That.

After I got some control over myself. She walked out the office, head down. I glare at her. It's all her fault. Why did they team me up with such a fragile looking girl? How is she supposed to help me outrun my enemies?

I turn and start walking to the building's exit. I hear her clumsy footsteps following me. Knowing that she's clumsy just makes me resent her more. She clears her throat and I unwillingly turn to face her. The look on her face is shocked. I smile at how she looks like a deer in a headlight; so defenseless in the situation.

"Yes?" I ask coldly.

"Well, since we're supposed to be passing as a married couple, I was… um…just wondering…"

I move closer to her, smolder her with my eyes. "Wondering…?"

She takes a deep breath, avoids my eyes and stares at a lamp instead. "Just wondering if we could go over our files? You know, to get to know each other a little before we start the mission."

I clench my jaw. I don't like the idea of people probing into my past. Into who I was. Into who I still am at times. Dangerous.

"Not here" is all I say as I turn and resume my fast paced walk to the door. Once outside I feel safer. Night time; the only time of day I feel safe. At night I feel like the dark will keep me from being exposed and I feel in control. I sigh as I relax a little.

The feeling of being in control suddenly vanishes and I tense up as soon as Bella walks out the door behind me. Damnitt… I have to have control… I growl in frustration. She stops walking. I can smell her fear.

"We have a hotel room booked. Let's go" I say through clenched teeth. My anger towards her will not help at all unless I can get it under control. The best way to do that is to have the wind whip her scent away from my nose.

I walk at human pace so that she could keep up, but I made sure to keep a distance between us. I haven't succumbed to my desires in years but there's always room for mistakes.

We arrived at the hotel within a half hour. I was just glad for the quiet. Most females would have complained about the walking. The city was asleep so not many thoughts distracted me.

I held the door to the hotel open for her. The floral scent of her blood called to me. I closed my eyes in protest. I then walked into the hotel lobby.

I had all intentions of just ignoring her and going right to the clerk's desk to check in our room. She of course, had other plans. She stopped and faced me. She stared me right in the eyes and said, "Now talk."

AN: So how was it? Please leave some nice reviews –big grin- I tried to stick to the whole "Edward wants to drink Bella's blood" thing. Did I do well with their first interaction? Even if they are OOC at times, I still wanted to try to keep their personalities a little like how they act in the book.

The next chap will be their discussion of their pasts and how they're suppose to act as a 'married couple'
