"So, Bella. Tell me a little bit about yourself." Emse siped on her coffee from the paper cup while I dipped my teabag in and out of the steaming water infront of me.

We had wondered down to the cafateria while Carlisle and Edward has Mason, letting him see all the "cool doctor stuff". I guess it paid to be a doctor.

"Well, I guess I could start with saying I'm 22 years old. I graduated from Forks High School at 16 and went into school right after that Christmas. I was raising a son with the help of my older brother Emmett and my father Chairle who passed away when Mason was only 2. My mother was never around, I had no aunts and uncles-It was just me and Emmett.

"Mason's father died in a drunk driving collision-he was not the drunken driver- a week before Mason was born. I work at the same hospital as Edward. I'm one of his nurses along with my two of my three best 老友记 Angela and Alice." I sighed when I finally finished my rant and took a sip of my tea. Esme was smiling from behind her cup.

"Adn how did 你 and my son meet?" She asked.

I smiled at the memory. "I was running late to work because Mason didn't want to wear the 衬衫 I picked out for him. I was running up the stairs and ran straight into him. We had lunch and he so happened to meet Mason that same 日 because Mason always eats with me on Wednesdays. He showed up on my doorstep in the pooring rain, soaking wet and crying. He told me all about Sarah and my 心 just went out to him."

"SO this relation shipjust..happened?"

"I liked Edward. HE was just easy to be around. He needed a friend "to tell him it was okay to cry, and to forge". So that's what I became."

"So how did 你 realationship start?" She was leaning onto the table, head proped up on her hands, eyes wide. I felt like I was back in high school eating lunch with Jessica.

"I was repainting Mason's room. He's really into sailboats right now. He want's a real one for his Birthday 下一个 month. Anyway, we were repainting his room, playing 20 questions, I asked mhim who his hero was and when he 说 it was me...I knew I loved him. He'
s so good with Mason and Mason just loves Edward. He makes me happy and I just hope I'm doing the same for him. I sort of feeling like I'm pushing him into this. I don't want him to think I'm just looking for someone for Mason to call 'Dad'."

"Oh, Honey." She scoffed and waved her hand. "Edward loves the boy. I can see it when he talks about him. His face just lights up. With 你 too. I have never seen him this happy. He calls me at the end of the 日 now just to tell me about how seeing 你 went." She laughed. "He's smitten."

I blushed and thanked her but she waved me off.

"Bella?" Edward's voice sounded behind me. I tunred around to see him holding a dead to the wrold Mason on his shoulder.

I laughed and stood. "I guess we better get going back to the hotel." I smiled.

"Oh, Bella." Esme took one last drink of her coffee before making a face and thrwoing it away. "Yuck. Carlisle, Edward and I are going out to 晚餐 tonight. Come along, and bring Mason."

"Oh, I couldn't intrude." I shook my head.

"Oh, hush yourself. Edward will be 由 to pick 你 and your sweet boy up at 7. 晚餐 is at seven-thirty. I will see 你 both later. Bye now." She smiled and waved.

"Ladies and gentelmen...my mother." Edward chuckled. "I hope she wasn't too bad."

"You're mother is lovely." I smiled up at him and nuged him with my shoulder. "She seems like she loves gossip."

"Oh she does. Her and her 老友记 get together on Sunday Mornings after church at the local coffee 商店 and sit for hours talking about people." He goffed and rolled his eyes. "They usually talk about eachother."

I could help but giggle at the vision of Esme sitting cackling at the lastest gossip.

Edward put Mason into this boosterseat and strapped him in, closing the door quietly.

"What hotel are 你 staying at?" He leaned up against the car, his hands in his pockets.

"Four Seasons." I smiled at him and uopened my door.

"Then I will see 你 in the lobby of the Four Seasons at seven." He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine sweetly. "See 你 soon." He whsipered.

I nodded and clibmed into the car and started the engine. He closed the door and gave me one last week beofre walking to his car and getting in.

I smiled and shook my head, backing out of the parking space.

Edward POV

I smiled the whole way to my hotel and up to the desk. I'm sure I looked like a foll but screw anyone who care what I looked like. I was happy.

"Excuse me, can 你 tell me what room BElla 天鹅 is in?"

The girl looked up from her computer screen and swalled when she met my eyes. "I- I'm sorry, Sir. I'm not allowed to give out any information on our guests."

"Please. I'm surprinsing her. I'm her...brother and I just got into town from Africa. I haen't seen her 或者 my nephew in eight months. Please?"
So, a little white lie wouldn't hurt anyone. She wouldn't have let me up if she had known Bella was my girlfriend.

She scaned the room quickly and sighed. "You better not tell anytone where 你 got her room number." She scolded me in a hushed tone.

"What room number?" I asked giving her a small smile.

"Room 2113. It's on the seventh floor." She whispered. SAme floor. I smiled to myself.

"Thank you." I winked at her and made my way up the elevatore. I chekced my watch to see that I only had two hours to 淋浴 and get ready.

I quicjly made it out of the elevatore and into my room. I had showered, shven, dressed, and givien my self a once over and was ready to go.

I looked at the room numbers as I passed them counting 2116, 2115, 2114, 2113. I stopped and knocked three times.

"Just a second." I heard Bella's voice carry as she told Mason to pu ton his shoes and he scolded him when he complaind.

She opened the door and my mouth dropped.

She was wearing a deep purple-the same as my tie- cicktail dress that showed just enough cleavege that It was classy. It hit right at the knees of her long legs and black shiny heels. Oh, God. Black pumps.

Our mouths opened and we spoke at the smae time. "Wow."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know, kind of un eventful, but the mother talk had to happen simetime. 晚餐 with the parents...this 下一个 chapter I;m going to have some fun with. It might take me awhile, so bare whith me.

Just to make sure everyone knows, Bella is there because she proismed to be Edward's friend first. Their realtionship isn't going fast where as Mason and Edward's has. It's really easy to 爱情 a little kid and it's really easy for them to 爱情 你 so that's why their's has.

Hope 你 like!! As always, your s=cmments mean alot to me so if 你 read, PLEASE comment!!! :)
