Chapter Three Brown Eyed Bodacious Beauty

Edward's pov

A great start to the morning; my mother calling early, toast is burnt, and now I have to wait at least an hour for a family bakery to open up. As it says on the local newspaper "Swan's Bakery" opens on Monday at five in the morning.

More time to seethe the past and reopen new wounds.

Flashback

Talking to my family to find out what I was supposed to do, I got a lot of different responses.

Alice and Emmett agreed with me of course. They didn't believe that Tanya could be pregnant with my child. This of course was probably because they had been around the Denali family as long as I was, even longer actually. Kate and Irina the two older Denali sisters always made fun of my twin sister Alice. Tanya tried sinking her claws into Emmett my older brother, years before she harassed me.

I often wish that my will power was as strong as Emmett's was, unfortunately mine wasn't. So when she harassed me I gave in. It was apparent to me at the time that she really wanted to be with somebody in the Cullen family. Heck, I think had I turned her down enough times she would've moved on to Alice. Looking back it was more of a way of her getting part of the fortune. If it meant never having to see her again, I would give up the money.

And that is where the problem was. My parents believed Tanya and pretty much do the honest thing.

"Oh Edward, this is so great. Finally the Cullen and Denali families will be linked by marriage and a little bundle of joy." Her smile was so wide it almost looked fake. My mother, like most rich people fell into the aristocratic way of thinking and being. Her smiles were no longer beautiful, they were rehearsed. Her beautiful womanly curves were worked off in the gym and by eating poultry and broccoli religiously. Most of all though, her easy going, first to laugh at anything nature was gone; replaced by this shell of a human being that high society will make of you. I came to accept the fact that my mother was a changed woman.

"Yes mom, whatever you say." My head was screaming no so loud, I didn't even catch the rest of that conversation..

I quickly became accustomed to the fact that I would have to marry Tanya. And at 19 the sound of having a child became very new and exciting. Even though I didn't like the person I was inevitably stuck with, I figured I could make it work for the baby.

End flashback

Looking up at he clock, I see that I've successfully wasted a half hour. Ok, it should be an okay time to go now. I gather all my essentials, my briefcase, wallet, and cell phone.

Driving to Swan's doesn't take long at all. At the early time and no traffic, I get there in about fifteen minutes. I should have about an hour before I have to be at work.

Stepping out of my car, I see that I'm the first customer or at least the only one at this time. I quickly grab my wallet and head into the small bakery. I open the door swiftly and walk into a very brightly colored room. Looking around I see the walls done in lines of vibrant colors, all in the order of the rainbow. One whole side of the bakery has tables and chairs done in a very café like manner. On the other side there is a long row of display cases, one is facing me, the other is joined in an L shape that spans the rest of the place.

Looking in the cases facing me, I see all kinds of breakfast items; muffins, breads, brioche, croissants, biscuits, bagels, and waffle looking things. I read the sign that says all of Swan's bakery items are freshly made everyday with the freshest ingredients. All I can think is wow, just wow.

At the far left corner there is a table with a bunch of different creams, coffees, teas, marmalades, compotes, jellies, jams, preserves, and butter. I've never seen so many different things in one place.

Turning I go down the other display case. I see that this one is filled with all kinds of different pastries, cakes, cupcakes, pies, tortes, crumbles, and numerous other baked goods. I do believe I just hit a sugar junkies wet dream. Staring at all the baked goods, I can't believe that everything is homemade. For the first time in a long time, I feel a smile spread across my whole face.

"Hello sir, may I interest you in one of our special breakfasts. It includes Cheese Danish twist, coffee, and a chocolate frosted donut?" Asked a very feminine, sexy voice. I was so strung out by all the baked goods, I failed to notice the woman standing behind the counter. I quickly look up to see one of the prettiest things in my whole life.

Standing there behind the display, stood the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. She was about 5 foot 4 in., with deep brown eyes. The kind of eyes that you could stare into for hours on end, and always find something that hypnotizes and mesmerizes you. Her cheeks have a pretty pink tint to them, my blushing bride. Wait where did that thought come from, hold it together man. I quickly and discreetly do a once over of her body. Small neck and collarbones, definitely too small to support those things on her chest. Mmmm, perfectly round and about a little bit more than a handful. If I had to guess I'd say about a 38 d cup. Too creepy you just guessed her bra size. What's next are you gonna guess what style panties she has on. Oh, I bet she wears boy shorts, she definitely has the hips to rock them nicely. Not liking my train of thought, I quickly scowl and look away from her.

However turning away does not help, I imagine her beautiful womanly hips. I instantly harden and feel my face flush. Hoping she doesn't notice my rather big problem I reply, "yes." It comes out curt, and I regret my rudeness. Oh man, it's gonna be a long day.
