I'm still doing teasers for reviews!
Just for the record, Incredible Pizza does exist. It really does. I just looked it up for some reason and there was this one comment about it that made me crack up. It said, "Incredible Pizza is like Chuck E. Cheese on Steroids."

Ch. 5: Incredible Pizza is a Place for Children

I want hot chocolate. I thought as I waved happily to the teacher. She led her class out to the front of the building to where the busses were waiting.
Ten minutes until I would get to leave my post for lunch. Oh, thank you Lord.
My search for the perfect girl hadn't gone well for the past three weeks. Actually, in better words: it sucked. Big time.
"Edward, you don't look so good," Emmett said, smirking.
"I need hot chocolate."
His smile faded. Em knew that hot chocolate was my moping drink. "Edward, I can't let you go. What's wrong?"
"I need a woman," I pined.
"We knew that years ago, buddy." He patted my back, trying to comfort me.
"I know. I'm pathetic!" I buried my face into my hands. "I'm getting hot cocoa. You can't stop me."
"Fine, but when you come back here in a beret, carrying cheesy, girly romance novels don't blame me. I know you man, and you need help," he said, shaking his head.
"You really think so?" He nodded sadly. "Well, I am out. I'll be back, and I won't be wearing a beret."
I left work in search of a Starbucks. I wasn't really hungry so the hot chocolate would do.
I thought back to what Emmett said. I didn't wear berets and I certainly did not read cheesy romance novels when I was upset. Did I? No, I wouldn't do that. I have never done that. Where do you get berets anyway? A craft store?
I found a Starbucks soon after I left work and went inside.
I ordered and looked around for a seat, noticing there weren't any.
"Bella! It's him! Look!" Oh, God, please don't do this to me!
It was the Blonde Bimbo along with Beautiful Bella. I liked Beautiful Bella. Blonde Bimbo…I didn't like her. She was too annoying and too blunt. She scared me.
"Lauren," Beautiful Bella hissed. "He's going to stare!"
"Good, he needs to. I put on extra make-up this morning. I just knew something good was going to happen!" Jesus, maybe I will need a beret. I'll turn into a freaking depressed artist or something. I'll need to if I have to hear that. She was acting like a stalker!
"Shut up! Now he is looking!" I didn't even notice I was looking until Beautiful Bella said that. The Blonde Bimbo waved shyly, putting a sick smile across her face. Beautiful Bella sighed and clenched her eyes shut. I could tell that was embarrassing her. Poor girl.
I waved back, trying to seem nice. I couldn't successfully do that when the Blonde Bimbo was drooling over me like a St. Bernard.
"Let's get him to come over here. There aren't any other seats for him to sit in."
"No," Beautiful Bella squeaked. "He probably thinks we're hormonal teenage girls that are crushing on a popular movie star."
Not you, sweetheart, just the other one. Sweetheart? What the hell?
"Hey, you, come over here and talk to us," Blonde Bimbo ordered.
I wasn't planning on walking over there. Really, I wasn't. My feet just started moving unintentionally!
I sat down in the extra seat between them.
Jesus, what the hell did I just do?

I was literally screaming inside my head. I thought I'd never see Mister Mysterious—I mean Edward—ever again.
If Lauren thought she was excited, then I must have been positively glowing.
I felt bad for him. Lauren was all but throwing herself at him. He looked uncomfortable.
Obviously, I thought that he wouldn't come sit down with us when Lauren told him to. I was surprised when he did, of course, but nervous as hell. The man I had been thinking about for three weeks decides to show up at Starbucks, of all places, and sits down with my best friend and me. Wouldn't you be nervous too?
"So, Mr…" Lauren said, trailing off when she realized she forgot Edward's name. I didn't forget. Take that, Lauren!
"Edward," he answered in that silky smooth, deep voice that made me want to melt like ice cream on a hot summer day.
"Oh, Edward! I like that name. It's so old fashioned!"
"Yeah…"
I was about to punch Lauren. Couldn't she see that he was uncomfortable? I mean, he was picking invisible lint off of his shirt!
I decided to save him from her. It was the least I could do. "What do you do for a living?" I asked, twirling my straw between my fingers.
He looked down at his shirt and I instantly felt stupid. It completely out there in the open!
"I work at Incredible Pizza," he said quietly.
"What do you do there?" Lauren asked, flashing a perfect smile. No matter how pretty she was, she needed to think about things first. She could've stamped the word stupid on her forehead and she would never notice.
"It's like Chuck E. Cheese except more fun, bigger, and it has a lot more stuff there," he said taking a sip of his drink awkwardly.
"That sounds fun. Do kids go there a lot?"
I pinched Lauren's arm in hope to knock some sense into her. Edward raised a perfect eyebrow at her. He could do that all he wanted just as long as it wasn't directed at me.
"Ouch, Bella! What the heck?" She rubbed her arm softly as she glared at me.
"Incredible Pizza is a place for kids, Lauren. Just like Chuck E. Cheese."
"Oh my God! I'm so stupid!" Her hand flew to her mouth, shocked.
Edward smiled crookedly, flashing his pearly whites that made him look even more perfect than usual. How in the world did he do that? You know, he looks all messy, but then he looks so clean and sexy? Maybe it was just me, but I loved it.
"Bella works with kids!" Lauren blurted out randomly.
I smiled shyly. "I'm just a student teacher for a second grade class."
"That's cool, I guess," Edward said, glancing down at his watch and standing up. "I have to get back to work now. I had a good time talking to you two."
He turned to leave but Lauren caught his hand.
"What?" he asked sharply. Nice going, Lauren. He shrugged out of Lauren's grasp and rubbed his hand on his shirt. Now, he obviously wanted to get away from Lauren's evil rays of doom.
"I work at Supercuts. You could come by sometime, and I could cut that luscious hair of yours." Lauren sighed leaning her head on her right hand. Yeah, cut his luscious hair and sleep with it under your pillow?
Why did she have to be such a weirdo sometimes?
He ran a hand through his hair, furrowing his eyebrows. "I think my hair is perfectly fine without your grubby hands trying to run through it. Besides, my sister would kill me if I let somebody cut it."
Oh. My. God. Ha-ha! You tell her!
"Goodbye, Bella. Maybe I'll see you around.
I had a great feeling in the pit of my stomach. He liked me better than Lauren.
I smiled giddily and waved at him as he walked out of the door. He looked through the window and smiled his incredibly attractive crooked smile.
I turned to Lauren; she was glaring with a hard ass mad look on her face.

I officially hate the Blonde Bimbo. She wanted to run her slimy, grubby, nasty fingers through my hair. She grabbed my hand! Ew! Could I file a restraining order on her?
Beautiful Bella… At least she had the dignity to keep her hands to herself. Not that I would've minded if she did.
I shook my head, and got in the car.
I drove to back to work listening to my happy music. That was something i didn't do often.
As I walked through the doors, Emmett looked at me with a weird expression.
"You look happy," he commented.
"I am."
Beautiful Bella was the one. I could feel it!
I made Lauren stupid. I had to be mean to her a little bit. I couldn't help it. You all understand right?
Review!
