Love at Kinkos
"Alice!!"
"What??"
"I'm leaving, they need me to come in early today" I glanced at the clock it was already nearing 7:15 and I had to be in at 7:30.
"Alright but what time are you coming home?"
"Umm I get off at 4…why?" I was scared to know the answer.
There was a pause.
"Do you work tomorrow?" oh great what is she getting at.
"….no…."
" YAY" I heard her squeal in glee, "Cause we're going out tonight!!
Well good going Bella you just walked right into that one and now you can't make up an excuse.
"Gah, fine whatever Alice I'm talk you later" I grabbed my purse and coat since it was, surprise, raining in Seattle.
"Bye, I'll have your clothes picked out when you get back" Was the answering reply I got.
Oh goody now I have something really exciting to look forward to all day, please, note the heavy sarcasm. I locked the door and made my way towards my lovely electric blue ford focus. I used to have a truck but it died, sadly. I still miss it sometimes...I got lost in my thoughts as I drove to work.
I arrived at work with 5 minutes to spare. I clocked in when what do you know my own personal stalker decides to make his grand-freakin-entrance.
"Hey Bella" I think that was supposed to sound seductive…
"Good morning Mike" I really hoped he noticed the cold tone to my voice
"So...Bella...I was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner and a movie tonight."
How could I do this without sounding rude? But you would think after the 25th turn down he would get the message. thank you Alice for the excuse!
"Well you see Mike I'm going out with my friend tonight so..."
"Oh," he looked so dejected I started to feel bad.
His face got happy all of a sudden as he said "Maybe some time next week!" before I could object he turned and walked away. Well there goes my sympathy.
"Bella!" I spun around me and before me was none other than my boss Christine.
"Yes, Christine?"
"I need you to get these documents to Kinko's so they can be made into brochures for the presentation on Thursday."
Great right around 8 too so the traffic should be fantastic…god I need coffee for this.
"Ok!" Note to self don't try enthusiastic about your stupid errand without caffeine again.
"Thank you oh so much!" She turned in her designer shoes and walked away.
I grabbed the papers and walked back out to my car, threw the stuff on the passenger seat. On my way I stopped at one of the gazillion Starbucks on the way to pick up a grande white chocolate mocha.
After being stuck in morning traffic I finally arrived at Kinko's! Hallelujah!
I walked in and the little bell jingled over the door causing everyone to look my way. I looked down and blushed as I made my way over to the counter. Why do stores have those annoying bells anyway?
The lady at the counter looked about as awake as me as she said, "Hello welcome to Kinko's how can I help you?"
"Umm…I need these to be turned into about 200 brochures."
"Ok those will be ready for you by tomorrow" She said with that some odd looking forced smile.
I mumbled quick thanks and turned around but I guess I wasn't really looking because all of a sudden I ended up on the floor.
"Ow…"I looked up and holy crap the man had huge muscles and looked like he was trying to contain his laughter.
He offered me a hand, "I'm really sorry about that" I took his hand and hoisted myself up.
"No really it's fine I should've been watching where I was going."
All of a sudden a very smooth and velvety voice spoke, "You know Emmett, it's not nice to knock people over" Oh my goodness the guy was gorgeous and I mean cover of a magazine, model type gorgeous. The look I only thought was possible by air brushing.
"Hey I said I was sorry, didn't I? Umm…." I realized he didn't know my name.
"Bella" I said
"Thanks. Didn't I apologize Bella?" He looked pleadingly at me
"Yes"
"See Edward, told you so." So that was the velvety voices name.
The man I now know was named Edward turned to look at me.
"You don't have to cover for him."
I blushed and it took me a minute to recover as I said, "No he really did though." I gathered the courage to look up at him and wished I hadn't as he looked at me with the brightest pair of green eyes and the sexiest crooked smile I have ever seen.
Emmett's voice broke me from my trance "Sheesh Edward, talk about having no faith in me."
Edward turned to look at Emmett once more. "Your right, I do have no faith in you."
Emmett pouted like a 5 year old which made me crack a smile and Edward chuckle. Wow even his laugh was amazing.
"Emmett for once in your life, act your age." He turned to me, "We haven't been formally introduced I'm Edward and that crazy person is my brother Emmett." He stuck out his hand.
I grabbed it softly and shook. "Bella."
He shot me one of those smiles again.
"Well it was nice meeting you Bella but me and that big oaf of a brother must be going."
Emmett had finally stood up and was gathering his stuff that he had set down.
"It was nice meeting you too."
They turned to walk out the door when Emmett yelled, "Nice meeting you Bella!" and Edward smiled at me.
I looked after them in a daze until the bell jingled again waking me out of my trance. I walked out and made my way back to my car.
Well at least now I have something interesting to tell Alice tonight.
