I hope you are all enjoying this. I know I am repeating myself but hey working with kids my brain tends to go mushy sometimes. Ok the disclaimer I don't own this just borrowing them. I forgot to do it the last few chapters but I mean it. There are no songs for this. I simple could not find one that I liked.

She had a smile on her face when she told me the story of what happened. I was happy for her. I saw what her parents had, what my parents had and what Rose and Emmett had. It was kismet….all destined to happen. They were each others half and no one else would have completed them like the other did.

Alice gave me a hug as she got off my bed. She mumbled something about the computer and him helping her sort swatches and whatnot tomorrow afternoon. I yelled to her goodnight and she it back to me too. She also said something about there is someone out there for me and that I just had not found him yet.

I was so tired but was not tired. I got this way during finals my last semester at culinary school. I walked over to my desk and grabbed my computer. I sat down in the window seat and made myself comfortable with all the pillows and the comforter I had grabbed. I reminded myself to thank Esme Cullen later cause the pillows I was leaning on were heavenly. I checked my email and made a mental note to make one up for the business along with a web page.

I skimmed the news pages and the want ads just like I normally did. This time on one of my favorite pages I noticed a button for a singles group. It just mentioned it was for the 21 and over crowd. I clicked on it and started reading the rules. Basically there were no rules other than being safe etc. Alice and I got that lecture when we both turned 16. We also got the sex talk too along with the condom on the banana bit. Alice still cant eat a banana to this day and I just blush at them.

I decided it would not hurt to make some new friends or at least have someone to talk to. I know cyber sex was out of the question. I had enough stress in my life and would rather not deal with if I am pleasing a man on top of that too. I pondered a handle when I looked at the clock it was way past midnight. Sleep was not going to happen much tonight and I was going to pay for it tomorrow. At least we had a good cappuccino machine here and for the business.

I logged in as umbrella princess. Dad used to call me that when I was little. I never was without my bright blue umbrella when it rained. There was no one on but then I got a ding for a private conversation. I thought here we go with the cybersex requests. Poor guy is going to get a huge let down and need his five fingered friend when I am done with him.

I giggled when I noticed his handle said king of the grouchies. This guy was going to be looking for cyber with a handle like that. I snorted and thought ok mister grouchie let me show you what I got. I entered the private chat and it started just as I thought.

Edward: " I've just moved you to the top of my 'to do' list. Wanna cyber?"

I saw his words type across the screen and thought that is a new one I have not heard yet. I need to type back a snappy come back but at the moment my mind was blank. For once I had nothing to say and I knew better to wake Alice. She was the one with the shit mouth and left the guys with the tongues on the floor. I typed back to this jerk…

Bella: " That is the first time I have heard that line and as for cyber keep looking buddy."

Edward: "What no smart ass come back. I thought all girls would swoon at a line like that."

Bella: "I am not your average women asshat! So find someone else to but the shit of."

Edward: " I am sorry please accept my apology. I am not asshat as you put me so gently LOL"

Bella: "You could have fooled me. I logon for the first time and some guy wants to get into my pants out in cyber land. Like I said I am not that girl and go fine someone else to bug. If that does not work you can use your five fingered friend. I am sure he would be more than happy to help you with your problem."

This guy was pissing me off. I logged on to find someone to talk to. Alice was asleep or at least I thought she was. I heard giggling coming from her room. I love her dearly but she still has her parents and can no one understand what it is like to lose something.

Edward: "Can we call a truce? I will be a nice guy and we can just talk ok. I was told by friends that this was the way to enjoy things without the nuisance of a relationship. I will be the gentleman my mother brought me up to be." J

Bella: "Fine truce but cross the line and you are gone buddy!"

Edward: "So I guess I will start first with the questions. Can you tell me about yourself? Just the basics I don't need a whole life history."

Bella: "I don't mine. I am 23, single and not looking for anyone right now. I am not from Portland but love living here. Is that what you wanted?"

Edward: " That will do. I am 26, single and not looking and from Portland. LOL"

Bella: "So what do you do for a living? Don't tell me with your pick up lines you work in a bar."

Edward: "No lol I work in construction. Blue collar work for my family all the way. My grandfather and father were the original business. I decided to follow in their footsteps. What do you do if you don't mind me asking?"

There was no way in hell I was telling that I was Cullen Construction along with the rest of the family. I was not ready to divulge that part of myself yet. Most women I meet see money signs in their eyes after I tell them. For once I was not going to be what Rosalie called me…an pompous ass and try to be my old self.

Bella: "I work in a bakery. I decorate cakes, cookies, make pies and basically do the normal bakery stuff. I am still have a lot to learn but the owner seems to see something in me."

Edward: "I know it is late but do you want to play a game of 20 questions?

Bella: "Ok I am game. Is there anything off limits?"

Edward: "None that I know of but if you hit something I will plead the 5th LOL"

Bella: "Do you have a favorite color?"

Edward: "No favorite color. I never really had a color that I picked out of the bunch. I guess you would say I like them all. What is yours?"

Bella: "My favorite color is blue. It is the color of the sky, the ocean and the color of some things dear to my heart. At least you are not prejudice. LOL Do you have a favorite food and drink? I know that is two but they go together."

Edward: "Feeling hungry are we? LOL Anything my mom makes is good to me. I love comfort food. As for drink a normal beer is my taste of liquid. What are yours? With you around all that food you have to have something that you love."

Bella: "I don't have a favorite though there are some things I wont eat like sushi or anchovies. I am sorry but fish that is going to look back at me needs to be back in the ocean where it belongs. I love hot chocolate and an occasional Cosmo. No I am not hungry I fixed a great dinner tonight that some friends seemed to enjoy. Do you have a favorite music genre you listen to?"

Edward: "I love music but I don't get a chance to listen or play anymore. To much things to do at work and not enough time to do them in. You?"

Did she have to bring up music? That is one thing that I wont discuss about my past but here I felt that I had to. I was never going to meet her nor would she ever know about my past. I felt that it was one thing I could finally talk about with a complete stranger. This night could get interesting.

Bella: " I don't play a musical instrument. My mom always wanted me to play the piano but gave up after my instructor said I was to clumsy to hit the keys right. Personally I think I made him deaf LOL. I listen to pretty much anything. What is your is your favorite weather? Do you like it rainy or not? I know weird being we both live here. The weather changes at the drop of a hat all the time."

Edward: "I really don't mind the rain. It makes it harder to work in and get deadlines accomplished but rain is comforting to me for some reason. Though there is nothing like feeling the sun on your face. What about you? You told me you are not from here so what weather do you like?"

Bella: "Where I am from we get more rain that Portland. I am used to is and as for the sun I cant be out in it. I burn ever single time therefore I am paler than pale. My best friend tells me she swears I glow in the dark LOL. You told me you were single but when you do date, what is the perfect date for you? If that is to personal you can take the 5th. You can tell me what your best date was if that is better."

Edward: "I will plead the 5th LOL As for best date it was years ago. We went out for dinner, went dancing and then a walk in the moonlight. Yours?"

I was not going to tell her that I rented out the restaurant for the night. I hired the best chef and best orchestra I could find. It was for the love of my life and she was so beautiful in her green dress that night. I loved to spoil her every minute I got. The night ended on the beach in the moonlight with me down on one knee proposing.

Bella: "I have not had a best date yet. I really don't know what I would like or not like. It is hard to tell with no one in my life right now. My best friend just found her soul mate and to tell you the truth I am jealous. Oh sorry about that pity part for one. My next question is what is your favorite holiday?"

I could not tell this stranger that my heart was empty. I so wanted someone in my life but right now I needed to concentrate on the business. I was happy for Alice. Jasper and her just seemed to fit like pieces of a puzzle that were missing. They each completed each other. I was not going to stand in the way of her happiness but I was not going to celebrate it either. I was just going to be content for her for now.

Edward: "My favorite holiday was when I was growing up. My grandparents were still alive and we all rented a house on the beach. It was so simple and had no amenities but running water. I learned that summer about fishing, swimming and so many others. Do you have a favorite holiday?"

I remember that holiday just like it was yesterday. We owned that beach house now but she did not need to know that. It was the same just like it was all those years ago. Simple but so complex in so many ways. Mom added a piano for me though I don't play anymore. Emmett, Jasper and I still have competitions though they are more adult like now. Back then it was who could build the biggest sand castle or find the biggest shell. Now it was who could swim the farthest, who could dive the farthest and who caught the biggest fish. Emmett always had a tall fish tale and Rosalie always played dumb just to keep him happy.

Bella: "Wow I never had a memory like that. I just have Christmas morning when I would sneak down and see what Santa brought me. I always waited for my parents to awake as I was up before the day broke. Most of the time I fell back to sleep waiting for them. Mom always took a picture of me in that years pajamas curled up asleep on the couch. Ok mister grouchy but it is way past 3am and I need some sleep. Can we resume this later? Sorry to be a party pooper. Do you mind if I add you to my list so we can talk again?"

Ok that took some guts I told myself. Normally I was not so forward but it was nice to talk to someone that did not know my past. It was nice to just talk and discuss things but not dwelve into it. I actually looked forward to talking to him again. It might have to wait I was leaving in a few days and had lots of work ahead of me to do. I noticed that he had already added me to his private list. Hmmm he assumed way to much but it was still nice to see.

Edward: "I did not realize it was so late and I am sorry I kept you up. I already added you to mine if that is ok. So that automatically puts me on yours. Night and have sweet dreams. LOL ok I had to say that with you working in a bakery. "

Bella: "Very funny grouch master. Goodnight and sweet dreams to you LOL that is if men have them which I am sure they do but I am sure they are different then women's. Ok I am looney now I need sleep night."

I saw him send a laugh to me and log off. I logged off to and shut my computer down. I was not sure to leave it on or not. Knowing my luck we would have a power outage and I would trip on the cord or something. I shut the light off and headed to bed. Sleep would come easy but it was going to be a short night.

I logged off, shut my laptop off and turned off the light. I flipped the blankets over and crawled into bed. Sleep was hard for me. The memories of her haunted my dreams. I could still smell, see and taste her. Her smile was comforting but at the same time made me sob. The thought of her still being gone after all these years and still missing her broke my heart all over again. Tonight was the first time I had a conversation with a women other than my family. It was nice to have and I missed getting the opposing sex's view point on things. The other side of me kept saying it was wrong and I had one true love. My heart beat with pain in my chest as I tried to sleep. My parents were adamant that I went to get help after spending months holed up in my room. It took both Emmett and Jasper to pull me out and drive me there. They kept telling me that they loved me but I needed more help. They wanted their brother back. I fought it at first but after a few weeks I felt like I could explain everything without exploding. My family loved me but they had not lost someone like I did. As I looked at my ceiling I kept remembering what the therapist said in our sessions. I was not going to heal over night and that it might take years to be fully back to where I was. He also told me that I would find love again but this time it would be different. It would not be a childhood sweetheart and that it would just happen. I called him my magic glass ball that could see and tell all. My family saw a change in me even though I was still heart broken. I stopped going to therapy after a year. The door was always open to go back if I needed him. He told me that he was here even if I needed to talk business or if I needed to talk about everyday life. He also said that one day I would come back. I would tell him that my heart was healed and I had found love just like he said I would. My eyes slowly closed and sleep had over taken my body.
