Getting to know you

Edward POV

"Why couldn't you just invite her here for breakfast?"

Heidi asked me as I slid my arms into my white crisp shirt. I started to button it up as I looked at her through my mirror. "Heidi you know I don't bring women here." I tell her and she rolls her eyes, at me as I watch her start to make my bed.

"You will clog your arteries eating at that disgusting diner."

She told me and I smiled, "I'm happy you care so much." I tell her and I see her smile my way. I walk to my closet in search of a tie and decided on a grey one with a grey vest.

"Dressing rather dashingly today Edward."

"I have an important meeting today."

I tell her putting on my tie and she smiles at me, "Uh huh, so you tell me." She says and I ignore her. I proceed at getting dressed and then grab my watch and cufflinks. Once I'm fully dressed I hear the front door open and I know that it is Emmett. Sometimes it was helpful that he lived in the condo below me but usually he just pissed me off. I put my suit jacket on and walk out of my room towards the living room.

"So are you ready for your hot date Sire."

Emmett says and I put my middle finger up at him, "It's not a date Emmett, we're just having breakfast as friends." I tell him and he laughs,

"I'm your friend and you don't dress this nice for me."

"You never ask,"

I joke back and we both laugh just as Heidi comes out into the living room. "Is she having breakfast with both of you? Because if she is I hope she can handle it." Heidi says and I laugh just as I feel my cell phone vibrate in my pocket.

"Isabella is a tough woman, I'm sure she can handle it."

I reply as I look down at my phone, I see that it is my schedule from Jessica and I look it over and groan seeing that I have a meeting with a few department heads. We both tell Heidi that we'll see her later and we leave to meet Seth outside at the car. As always the paparazzi were outside waiting for me. The questions flew out and Emmett got me into the car in record time. I tell Seth that we are going to the diner. For some reason I was actually worried that Isabella wouldn't show up so I pulled out my phone and texted her,

Hope you don't plan to stand me up ~E

I thought about it ~B

She texted back and I smiled, "Your texting again." Emmett said from next to me. "Screw you." I tell him and he laughs. When we arrive at the dinner I see the same red Volkswagen convertible I saw outside the first time I ran in to Isabella here and assumed it must have been her car. It was confirmed I was right when the door opened and she climbed out. She was wearing tights and a white t-shirt again and a pair of sandals. It was simple and yet it left my throat dry and I had to wipe the corners of my mouth hoping I wasn't drooling.

"Are you just going to sit in the car and look at her?"

Emmett asked me and I glared at him. He ignored me then proceeded to climbing out of the car. I followed and she looked over at us just as I climbed out and smiled,

"I almost thought I was going to have breakfast alone."

She said, "I always keep my word." I tell her with a grin, "I'll be sure to hold you to that." Came her reply. I hadn't noticed Emmett walked to the diner's entrance and was holding the door open for us already until we walked side by side to the door. We both walked inside and the guy behind the counter had a surprised look on his face.

"Hey Embry."

Isabella says with a smile and he greets her, "Can you give me my usual, as well as some French Toast and scrambled eggs." She told him and he nodded his head then looked at me. "I want the pancakes with bacon and eggs." I tell him and he nods his head at me then turn to Emmett,

"Oh nothing for me, I just came to keep an eye on the two of them. You know someone might have to play referee."

Emmett says and glare at him, and he laughs. "On second thought I can't do this job without eating so give me your Thursday special." He said and Isabella looked surprised by his order.

"You can eat all of that?"

She asked Emmett and he laughed, "That's nothing compared to what Heidi makes me at Eddies house." He answers and Isabella looks at me.

"Heidi? New girlfriend?"

She asked with a smirk but I saw something else in her eyes, Jealousy maybe? "No, she's my housekeeper." I tell her and she blushes as if embarrassed. I wave my hand to one of the booths for us to sit down and she slides into a seat and I sit across from her. We sit quietly as we continued to look at one another.

"Are you going to just look at me?"

"It's not a bad idea."

I reply and she blushes again, "Tell me something about Edward Cullen the world doesn't know." She says and I sit back against the booth and unbutton my suit jacket.

"Like what?"

I ask her and she shrugs her shoulders, "Something you would tell a friend." She replies and I honestly can't think of anything to tell her.

"I'm not sure what you want me to tell you. My only real friend is Emmett and he knows everything about me without me having to tell him."

I reply and she nods her head, "What's your favorite color?" She ask and I prepare to tell her I don't have one then I remember how much I liked her in the turquoise dress, then the black dress, Mmm and the red one, Definitely the red one.

"Red."

I finally answer and she smiles, "What's yours?" I ask and she blushes then looks down at her hands, "Green" she answers hardly above a whisper. The man she called Embry came over to the table and gave us our cups of coffee.

"I have to say Bella I'm surprised to see you in here with him after last time."

He says and my nose flares with irritation, "He's not all bad." Isabella replies then smiles at me. I give her a crooked grin and that blush appears on her cheeks again. I definitely liked making her do that.

"So this is like a date then?"

He asked and I can't help but think this idiot has some set of balls. Emmett looked over at me from the bar stool he was sitting on probably thinking the same thing I was thinking. Isabella looked at me as if waiting for me to answer, but I wasn't going to because I knew the question wasn't directed at me. She pulls her eyes away from me then looks up at him.

"No just breakfast with a friend."

She answers and looked a little sad when she said it, "Oh good. I mean…" he trails off and runs his fingers through his hair. "…I just wanted you to know if you changed your mind about dating I'm still very interested." He says and she smiles at him and blushes. I grip my cup tightly trying to control the emotion I was feeling it was new, it was jealousy.

"I haven't changed my mind but if I do I'll keep that in mind."

"Ok good, maybe we could hang out anyway…I mean just as friends."

He says and by now I heard enough. I slam my cup down making both of them look at me, "Do the two of you need some privacy?" I ask and she looks at me surprised by the tone in my voice. Hell I was surprised by the tone in my voice. Isabella slowly puts her cup down,

"No, are we bothering you…"

She asked in an irritated tone, "Honestly yes, I don't need to sit here and watch the man drool over you while my food is probably burning in the kitchen." I reply and I see Embry's face turn red, and Emmett chuckle behind him.

"Edward?"

"What? I came here to eat not witness the crash and burn of him asking you out."

I say and Isabella glares at me now. Embry excuses his self and mumbles something about going to check on our food.

"Do you always have to be an Ass?"

Isabella asked me and I picked my coffee cup back up and drunk from it but never taking my eyes off of her, "I'll take that as a yes." She said picking up her cup and eyeing me as if to challenge me.

"You're the one sitting here flirting with a man that isn't worthy of you…"

"What difference does it make to you who I flirt with?"

"It doesn't I just assumed you had better taste then a diner cook."

"What the hell is wrong with a diner cook?"

She asked me and my nose flared because it sounded as if she was actually interested in him. We sat quietly again and I watched her eyes dart at the door as if debating if she was going to leave. I was surprised it was taking her this long to decide. She went to stand up and I quickly grabbed her wrist instantly feeling that jolt of electricity again.

"Don't leave I'm sorry."

I say admitting to myself that I didn't want her to leave. She looks down at where my hand was holding her wrist and I slowly release her from my grasp.

"Why should I stay?"

She ask putting me on the spot, I wasn't about to tell her I was wrong because I wasn't. She was capable of getting any man she wanted and could do a hell of a lot better than Embry the diner cook. I looked into her russet eyes and decided the truth was best,

"Because I want you to stay."

I answer and she takes in a deep breath. We both sit back and Emmett walks over to the table. "I'm going to go outside and make a call. Can you two survive without me?" He asked and she smiled, "I can, I don't know about your boss." She replies and I give her a crooked grin.

"Try not to eat him alive, I mean he does sign my checks."

Emmett says and I laugh, "Is that all I mean to you Emmett is a paycheck?" I joke and he laughs at me, "I guess you're not a bad guy to hang around when you're not being an ass." He says with a smirk,

"He has moments when he's not an ass, I'm shocked!"

Isabella said and we all laugh, "I like you more and more Isabella." Emmett says, "Just Bella." She tells him with a smile and he nods his head. I start to wonder if she would I rather call her Bella also seeing that she put her number in my phone as Bella. Emmett taps my shoulder and tells me he will be right outside.

"Go ahead Emmett."

I tell him and he nods his head and exits the diner. "How long has Emmett worked for you?" She asked me and I shrug my shoulders.

"I honestly don't know, we've been friends for years. His father worked my grandfather's protection detail, so we became close when I would visit my grandfather doing the summer at the lake house. He kind of just fell into being my body guard and stayed there."

I explain and she nods her head, "I thought the two of you seemed rather close to be boss and employee." She replied and I smiled,

"I never actually considered Emmett my employee. I pay him but I would still give him money even if he wasn't my body guard because he is more like my brother and I take care of all of my family."

I answer and she looks slightly surprised, "Is your family large?" She asked and this time I looked surprised. "You're the journalist and you don't already know?" I ask and she blushes at me,

"Some journalist uh?"

"Honestly you just peeked my interest even more. I have two sisters, Emily and Bree. You met Emily that night at Eclipse; Bree is away at school in New York."

I tell her and she nods her head drinking from her cup. Embry comes over to our table and places our plates down in front of us. He doesn't give me eye contact but he looks at Isabella.

"I gave you extra eggs because I know how much you like them."

He says and I roll my eyes and clear my throat. Isabella gives me a warning look and Embry walks away mumbling under his breath. "You know he probably spit in your food." She tells me and I look at my plate and push it away from me making her laugh and I suddenly had this stir inside at the sweet sound.

"You think that's funny?"

"It's a little funny."

She says still laughing, and then she takes her fork and digs into my plate. "What are you doing?" I asked her and she smiled,

"He wouldn't spit in it."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I know him."

She says then she looks over at Embry who is watching us and places the fork full of pancakes into her mouth. I couldn't resist watching as she licked the syrup off her lips. She then picked up another fork full of pancakes and placed it in front of my mouth. It surprised me because it was rather personal to feed me. Our eyes locked as I ate the pancakes off of the fork that was in her mouth only a moment ago. As I chewed on the pancake we continued to look at each other and she bit down on her bottom lip. The diner door opened I knew it was Emmett so I didn't take my eyes off of her. She looked to the door then back at me.

"So do you have any other family other than your sisters?"

Isabella asked obviously trying to go back to the conversation we were having, "Yes. Of course you know about my parents, then there is my aunt Elizabeth my mother's sister. My Uncle Garrett, my father's brother and his two daughters Tanya and Irina. Actually you met Tanya." I say remembering what happened at the Black and White ball.

"I did?"

"Yes, she's the woman you mistook as my date at the Mayor's black and white ball."

I tell her and once again her cheeks flushes that shade of pink again, "Oh my god really?" She asked and I smile at her "Yes, now your turn." I say and she takes a fork full of eggs and I watch her eat. Once she swallows she looks at me,

"Um my grandmother Marie, my mother and father Charlie and Renee, there's my sister Angela. She owns Eclipse."

"Is she the chef?"

"No her husband Ben is the chef."

She answers, "I love eating there. The food is great and the service is sensational." I tell her honestly and she smiles, "I'll be sure to let them know that." She replies and I pick up my cup,

"Any brothers?"

"Something like that. The guy I was dancing with at Eclipse is like my brother. His name is Jacob."

She tells me and I wanted to say that he wasn't holding her like a brother, but then again I was noticing I didn't like the way any man touched her if it wasn't me. She's not yours Edward, my enter monologue reminded me and I tried not to growl at that little fact.

"So he's your best friend?"

"Yes, but really like a brother. My parents pretty much raised him."

She says and I see a sad look in her eyes. I don't like seeing her this way so I changed the subject, "Have you always wanted to be host of a television show?" I ask her and she laughs nervously.

"God no, believe it or not I'm shy."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, the producer Rosalie is my best friend and a year ago she begged me to guest host. I couldn't tell her no so I agreed and as you know I've been hosting the show ever since."

She replies and I smile thinking about how many nights I watched her show thanks to my DVR, "You are good at it, wouldn't know you were shy at all." I tell her and she blushes as she continues to eat.

"What college did you go to?"

"University of Washington, that's where I'm from."

"Really, far away from home aren't you?"

I ask and she shrugs her shoulders, "Rosalie got a job out here and I agreed to move with her, after that it seemed we all ended up here other then my parents." She tells me and I nod my head, "You and Rosalie been friends for a long time?" I ask her and she nods her head,

"Since middle school, she somehow talked me into helping her teepee the girl's bathroom with toilet paper. Most things I've done that I normally wouldn't do has been because of her."

She says with a smile on her face and I can't help but smile and think Rosalie sounded like someone that should date Emmett. I knew he had gotten her number and I could see why she would interest him.

"So once you and Rosalie became friends you became a trouble maker?"

"Uh something like that I guess."

Isabella says with a blush, "Isabella can I ask you a question?" She smiles and nods her head as she drinks from her cup. "Would you prefer I called you Bella or Isabella? I mean I've heard other people call you Bella and you just told Emmett to call you Bella. You also put your name in my phone as Bella." I say feeling like I was rambling which honestly was a first for me,

"Um which ever you feel comfortable with."

"What do you feel comfortable with?"

I ask her and she bits her lip and I can tell she's thinking about how to answer my question, "Uh I actually like it when you call me Isabella." She answers and I grin at her making her blush again. Embry comes over and refills our cups.

"Are you and sister close?"

Isabella asked me and I tried to think of a way to answer this, "Bree and I are very close, I can't say the same for Emily and I. How about you are you and your sister close?" I ask her and she smiles again,

"Inseparable, mom and dad says that's the real reason she dragged Ben here to open their restaurant instead of closer to home."

We talk a few more minutes and I found out that her middle name is Marie after her grandmother that her parents had been married for thirty years that her father was chief of police and her mother a teacher. I saw Emmett walking over to us out the corner of my eye, "Sorry to interrupt guys, but Edward we should get going your meeting starts in twenty minutes." He said and I quickly look at my watch trying to figure out where the hour went. Isabella asked Embry for a carry out case and we pack our food away. I pay for our food against her wishes then walk her to her car.

"Breakfast was nice Edward thank you."

She says unlocking her car door, I quickly open it and she blushes again, "Think we should do it again, but maybe not here. Embry might actually spit in my food next time." I tell her, truth being I didn't like the way he looked at her, she laughs,

"Then where? We don't have many options; honestly I'm surprised the paparazzi never figured out you come here."

"Yeah no one ever said the paparazzi were smart, but how about my place. I mean Heidi has better cooking and coffee."

I tell her surprised I actually just offered that and then I hear Emmett choke behind me obviously surprised also, "Emmett are you alright?" She asked him and he nodded his head then pointed to the car and walked away.

"So your place?"

"Why not? Unless you have a better idea."

I say hoping she doesn't, she bits on her lip. "It's safer than any public place so I guess so, but wouldn't me driving to your place every day tip them off?" she ask and before I could think about it I say,

"I'll send a car for you…"

"Edward really that's a bit much just to have breakfast I mean…"

I stepped closer to her and she stopped talking, "…not to have breakfast with you it isn't. If you don't want to go through all the trouble honestly I'll understand." I tell her then before I can stop myself I push a strain of hair behind her ear. She blushes and looks up at me,

"I don't mind. I mean it would make sense your building is closer to the station then the diner and my loft so, um yeah that's alright."

She says nervously, "You know where I live?" I tease; there honestly wasn't a person in Chicago that didn't know I lived in the penthouse of the Masen Hotel. She giggles getting that I was only teasing her,

"I'll see you later Edward."

"Have a nice day Isabella."

I tell her and she smiles then climbs into her car. I close the door and wait for her to pull off. Once she's gone I turn to walk to my car and see Emmett wearing a huge grin on his face.

"Shut up Emmett."

I tell him climbing into the car and he laughs as he climbs in behind me. "I thought you were going to be just friends with her." He says and I look at him,

"You eat breakfast at my house all the time and you're a friend. At least for the time being."

I say and he laughs again, "You tell yourself whatever you want, but you're not acting like a man that only wants her friendship." He tells me and I inhale and ignore him ordering Seth to take us to the office. When I arrived at my office Jessica and Samantha were waiting for me and from the looks on their faces I knew they had a lot to tell me.

"Mr. Cullen the department heads are already in the conference room waiting for you."

Jessica said as I walked into my office, "I prepared the room prior to them arriving and ordered a breakfast buffet for them while they wait." Samantha said looking nervous. I knew she still feared I would fire her.

"Oh and Mr. Cullen don't forget you have the video meeting with Mr. Shoe about you flying out to China next week."

Jessica reminds me and I groan realizing that meant I would be out of town for two weeks and only in Chicago for a week before I had to fly out to New York then Seattle. I realized that I was going to be too busy to meet with Isabella again anytime soon and that pissed me off. There was a knock at my door and I looked up to see Veronica from sales enter standing at the door.

"What is it Veronica?"

"I have the spread sheets you asked for yesterday."

She says and I wave for her to come in and bring them to me. I take them from her and look at the sheets; everything seemed good until I got to the last page,

"What is this?"

"We had a little drop and…"

"…this is more than a little fucking drop Veronica. This is almost a million dollars!"

I bark at her and all three women in the room flinched. "Mr. Cullen I swear I didn't notice until yesterday. I mean everything looked great with sales all month and then…" I put my hand up to cease her from saying anything further.

"Was there anyone else using your computer?"

"Um no, I mean I lock it whenever I leave the room."

She answers, "So how did this go unnoticed all damn month Veronica!" I yell and she flinches again obviously not having an answer.

"Get out Veronica."

"Mr. Cullen, please don't fire me I swear I don't know how that happen…"

"I didn't say I was firing you, I said get out of my office."

I tell her and she quickly leaves, "Samantha go inform the board that I'll be there in ten minutes." I say turning to Samantha.

"Yes Mr. Cullen."

She says then quickly exits the room, "Jessica call Aro and tell him about this. If Veronica didn't see this all month until yesterday it means someone is tampering with company files." I tell her, "I'll get right on Mr. Cullen." She says leaving the room now. I run my fingers through my hair and tell myself that I need to focus on my company before whoever is trying to ruin me succeeds.

Bella POV

Edward Cullen had been on my mind nonstop sense breakfast and it was driving me insane. I knew that I didn't need to get involved with him for many different reasons; even this friendship was pushing it. At breakfast I wanted to fuck him on the table as well as slap him for being a jerk about Embry. It was frustrating because one second I would think he meant more in his words then I would think he only meant it as a friend.

Then it bothered me that I had checked my phone nonstop for text messages to see if he had texted me at all. I was never this anxious to get a text from Rose or Jacob. But what really pissed me off was that I hadn't heard anything from him since this morning, you could text him first. My subconscious pointed out and I debated with that idea but I couldn't decided on what to say other then you make me wet or I want to do naughty things to you.

"Bella!"

I hear Angela yell at me and I quickly look up to see her handing me the dice to the monopoly board. Tonight was our game night. It always consisted of Angela, Ben, Rose, Jasper, Alice, and me. Also Jacob was playing tonight since he was still in town.

"She's been out of it like this all day."

Alice says and I look at her with a warning look but she only laughs "Don't look at me like that. You have been out of it." Alice says shrugging her shoulders and I roll my eyes.

"Everything alright Bells? I mean I don't have to find James and go kick his ass do I?"

Jacob asked and I see Jasper and Ben looking at me and I knew they were just waiting for the order. Then before I could answer Rosalie says,

"Oh trust me that is not the man that has been on her mind all day."

"Rose!"

I yell at her and she smiles and shrugs her shoulders, "What, we are all family. Who in here is going to run to the press and tell them Edward Cullen has the hots for the KBC's morning host Isabella Swan." She says and my cheeks felt like they were on fire now,

"You're talking about Mr. Billionaire right?"

Jacob asks with a grin and I drop my face in my hands, "Oh my god Bella are you dating Edward Cullen?" Angela ask and I groan,

"Wow that explains the shit attack he looked like he was having that day in his office when I mentioned your name."

Jasper says and now my head pops up, "I am not dating Edward Cullen, we are just friends, and he does not have the hots for me Rose." I say and they all give me the 'whatever you say' look.

"That's not what Emmett said."

Rosalie added and I glared at her again, "Wait who is Emmett?" Angela asked and I couldn't believe they were sitting here discussing this as if I wasn't here. Then again when I really thought about it, I wasn't that surprised.

"Emmett is his body guard."

Jasper answers, "Oh that big guy that took him out the back entrance that night at Eclipse. He's a big guy." Ben says and I shake my head.

"Guys really can we drop it?"

I ask, "No way this is more interesting then monopoly, I'm winning anyway." Angela says and I roll my eyes at her.

"So Bells a billionaire way to tell James fuck you."

Jacob says laughing and I slap his shoulder not that it affected him any. "Edward is just a friend, that's it." I say again though it was obvious they were not listening to me.

"But you guys had a date this morning."

"Alice it wasn't a date."

"Did he pay?"

Ben asked and I groaned, "Did he open doors for you?" Angela asked and I rolled my eyes again and blew out an irritated breath.

"He invited her to his house for breakfast next time."

Rosalie added and I knew I growled this time. Rosalie was pouring gasoline on an already roaring flame feeding them more information. "This is juicy!" Alice says and I inhale deeply,

"Bella I'm your friend and I have never looked at you the way he has."

Jasper says, "Jasper when did you see him look at me?" I ask him and then regretted it when he answered. "The show everyone saw that, then that night at Eclipse, I saw the way he was watching you before he came over to ask you to dance. If Jacob didn't hand you over I was more than certain he would have picked a fight. Or at least got Emmett to rough Jacob up." Jasper said and everyone laughed while I slapped my hands over my face again.

"Yeah Bella and when the two of you were dancing, it was…hot."

Alice added and I shook my head, I did not need to hear this. Edward was my friend and they were looking into this way too much.

"Oh my god guys we are only FRIENDS!"

I yell and they all look at me then laugh as if I told a joke, "So that kiss was a friendly kiss?" Rosalie ask and I quickly grab a throw pillow and toss it at her,

"Oh he kissed you!"

Alice yelled and I rolled my eyes, "How was it?" Angela asked me with a smile, "I do not want to hear this." Jacob says with a disgusted look on his face, "But I will say I have to agree with Jasper, Bells he looked like he was ready to devour you that night." He says and I roll my eyes. "Wait didn't James sue him?" Ben asked and then everyone stops laughing.

"Oh shit he did, didn't he?"

Jacob said and now they were all looking at me, "Yes I am aware that I should tell Edward before any of you say anything. But I don't know how to just come out and say, oh that idiot that sued you was my ex husband and when we divorced I got half of that settlement you paid." I said and they all looked uneasy now,

"Bells it wasn't like you sued him I mean it was James…"

"Yeah, but I still took half of the settlement when I honestly could have told the judge I didn't want it. To someone who doesn't know me it would look like I planned it with James and made certain I got my half."

I reply and no one says anything for a minute, "Bella you took it to help mom and dad pay off their mortgage…" Jacob tells me and I nod my head, "…and you got Grandma Marie a nursing aid so she wouldn't have to move out the big house into a nursing home." Angela added and I shrugged my shoulders,

"It doesn't matter; Edward and I are only friends. So if he doesn't understand then oh well. But I will tell him when I think the time is right. Not any sooner."

I say looking directly at Jasper, Alice and Rose. They put their hands up in surrender. "We won't say a word." They all say and I nod my head and ask,

"Can we please continue the game now?"

"Yeah so I can kick all of your asses in twister next."

Jasper replies and we all start to laugh as we continue to play. By the end of the night we played three more games. Everyone left my place and I cleaned up then took a shower and got ready for bed. I climbed in between my sheets just as my cell phone rung and it was playing the tone I had for private calls so I knew it had to be Angela,

"What is it Angela?"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but my names isn't Angela."

That velvet voice said coming through my phone and quickly sit up in bed. "Edward?" I ask to be certain that was who was on my phone.

"Yes, last I checked that was my name."

He said and I laughed, "I'm sorry it's just you called from a private number and usually the only person to call me from a private number is my sister." I explain fixing my hair as if he could see me through the phone.

"Ah I always forget the penthouse line is blocked."

He says and for some reason I smile at the thought of him calling me from his home. "I'm honestly surprised you're calling." I tell him and he chuckles into the phone,

"I know I've only had one real friend my entire life but friends do call each other to find out how their day went don't they?"

He asked and I laughed into the phone, "I guess they do, so how was your day?" I ask him sitting back against my pillows.

"Oh no I called so I get to ask first Ms. Swan. So how was your day?"

He asked and I smile, "It was alright, nothing special. Oh I did have a game night with my sister and our friends." I tell him honestly not sure why because I really didn't see a billionaire like Edward Cullen caring about game night.

"Game night?"

"Um yeah, we get together every couple weeks and play board games, and trivia games."

"Sounds like fun, hope one night I get an invite."

He says and I smile surprised by his response, "So how was your day? Where you nice to people today?" I ask and he laughs into the phone.

"You already know the answer to that second question and to answer your first question the best part about my day was breakfast."

"Oh please you are only saying that because I'm on the phone, you probably get off on screaming at your employee's"

I joke and again he laughs into the phone, "We can discuss what gets me off at another time, but the best part of my day was breakfast. I had to deal with some trouble at the office, had me there all night." He says and I can hear the stress in his voice,

"What time did you get home?"

"Five minutes ago."

He says and I can't help but think if he called me the minute he walked inside, "Wow, do you want to talk about it. Off the record of course, I wouldn't tell a soul." I tell him and with a smile in his voice he says,

"For some reason I believe you, but I don't want to worry you with my troubles. Tell me more about this game night."

He answers so I began to tell him about the games we played at game night and how I lost miserably at all of them. "Do you always host game night?" He asked me and I could hear some movement in the background.

"No, we usually take turns tonight was just my turn."

I reply and then I think about him playing football in that picture I saw of him on the internet, and the one I had saved to my desktop "What do you do for fun?" I ask him and he laughs as if I told some joke,

"I would have to find the free time to even do anything fun."

"Ok so if you had the free time, what do you like to do for fun?"

I ask him honestly curious, "Before my grandfather got sick and I had to step in, I use to go jet skiing, play football on the beach and play pool." He answered and I smiled because he sounded like he use to be a fun guy to be around.

"So you haven't done any of those things since you became CEO?"

"I don't have the time, but what I miss most is playing the piano."

He says and I try not to gasp but I knew he heard me, "You play the piano?" I ask Duh stupid that's what he just said, my wonderful subconscious says to me.

"I use to play all the time, but once my grandfather died, I just didn't have it in me anymore."

"I'm sorry."

I say honestly not sure what I'm apologizing for but felt like it needed to be said, "So what else do you do for fun other then game night?" He asked smoothly changing the subject.

"First let me say I am horrible at all sports, but I do enjoy watching football."

"Really?"

"Yes, my sister and I watched it all the time with my father and Jake."

"The guy that's like your brother?"

"Yes, that's Jake."

I reply wondering if I was really hearing jealousy in his voice, "So only watching football and playing games at game night?" He asked and I bit down on my lip trying to think. I seemed pretty boring compared to him.

"I love to read, and write. Also I know how to make a mean apple pie."

I say and he laughs, "Maybe I'll request you make me one someday." He says and I smile again, I realize that I've been doing that a lot since I've been on the phone with him. We went back and forth on the phone asking each other questions and I found out his favorite book was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and he preferred classical rock versus hard rock. I also found out that Mr. Cullen had a soft spot for Broadway plays to say I was surprised was an understatement. We talked for what felt like hours then I involuntarily yawned into the phone,

"I guess I should let you sleep."

"No no I'm fine."

I say yawning again and he laughs, "No get some rest. I'll try to call you tomorrow." He says and I'm happy he wasn't in front of me because I was actually pouting.

"Ok, and breakfast when you return from China?"

I ask to be certain that was the plan we made, "Yes unless you decide to stand me up." He says and I laugh, "I can't stand you up if you are sending a car to my place can I Mr. Cullen." I reply and he laughs,

"I guess not, I'll just order Emmett to toss you over his shoulder anyway."

He said and I laugh, "Good night Isabella." He says and I feel goose bumps when he says my name that time, it seemed so much more seductive then the others. I take in a deep breath then finally say,

"Good night Edward."
