If I Fell

Chapter 2

It's been several months since I'd met Bella and I can't get her out of my mind.

I've stopped by her shop every day on the way to work and buy goodies for my nurses.

She's got a smile for everyone and goes out of her way to help me personally.

I want to be the one, I really do. But I just can't. I can't be the one she wants, the one who consumes her mind all the time, I'm not going to bring her down with me.

"Morning Carlisle." She smiled.

"Morning." I smiled back.

"Morning Bella!" I hear this deep voice and turn around.

"Hi Jake!" she gives him the same big smile, I recognize him from the Rez.

She hands me my coffee and walks down the counter to talk to him. He picks her up and hugs her tightly and pecks her on the cheek.

I turn and leave with my daily pastries in hand, feeling sorry for myself.

"Damn it Carlisle!" Rose snaps at me.

"What!" I pace in my office. I'd called my sister to get the scoop on Bella and her beau.

"You! I can't fucking believe you! She was so excited after meeting you and all you did was blow it! Sure you stop by and see her every chance you get, but that's not asking her out, that's not trying to get her to fall in love with you!" she growled and hit me upside the head.

"Fall in love with me? Really?" I scoffed.

"It's not going to happen overnight dumb ass!" Rose shoved past me shaking her head.

I sat down at my desk and banged my head a few times before doing my rounds.

Jake had impeccable timing. When he walked in the door, a smile broke out on my face.

"Jake! I'm so glad you came!" I kissed his cheek.

"Leah told me I would have my balls chopped off if I didn't get here and get some of your yumminess for the shop." He smiled.

I'd become great friends with Leah and Jake over the past few months, Charlie and Jake were best friends, they grew up together, Jake's dad taking him in when need

"So was that the doctor?" he asked.

"Yeah, I just don't think there's anything there on his end. He is always nice and polite but that's where it ends." I shook my head.

"Hey, it's not lost. We can find you someone Bells." He hugged me again.

"Yeah I know, but he just sparked something in me. I don't know." I shook my head.

"He'll open his eyes once he sees what he's lost." He squeezed me tight before thanking me for the goodies.

The rest of the day was fairly quiet.

I was cleaning the counters getting ready to close up when the bell rang.

Turning around I smiled wide seeing Carlisle standing there, looking nervous as hell.
