Chapter One:

First impression

Bella's POV

"Alice no, I will not start dating again. I have a 3 year old daughter to take care of and a job to hold" I hated the fact that alice always tried to set me up with dates. She always set me up with losers and I always ended up going home alone.

"Bella please?" she pleaded with her puppy dog eyes and pouted her lips while batting her eye lashes at me. "No! I will not. Now if you aren't here for a tattoo go get Jarianna from Charlie and come back s we can get lunch together" I smiled at her as she frowned at me. I shrugged as she began to pick up her belongings. "Fine Isabella but just you wait. I will find the perfect guy for you and Jarianna" I rolled my eyes and waved her off to the door. "Just make sure you get here on time okay" she nodded and waved goodbye.

"Hey mike! Who's my next customer?" I yelled as I began to set up the equipment for the next people in line to get a tattoo. "Some woman named Tanya and her boyfriend Edward" I looked at the clock and then at mike. "Wait! I can't do both of them. I'm having lunch with my daughter and alice" mike just looked at me and began to laugh. I narrowed my eyes at him and glared at him. This was not a funny situation. "Relax bells. It's only the woman. Her boyfriend is just coming to be here with her. Since it is her first tattoo then she might want some company." I grabbed a wet towel and threw it at his face. "don't do that to me again! I nearly had a heart attack!" he busted out laughing as the towel hit his face. "Bells if I were you I'd run cause now I am going to get you" my eyes got wide as I seen him take a spray bottle from his desk and walked towards me. "Mike..come on. I was kidding!" I turned around and ran to the front of the shop. mike and I ran and laughed as he kept on trying to spray me with water.

I tripped over my own feet and landed on someone. I looked up to see a pair of strong arms holding onto me. I looked up at a pair of beautiful green eyes staring back at me with a amused expression in his face. Before I knew it I felt mike throw water at me which landed on the man in front of me "ha! I got you Bells..oh shit. I'm sorry man I didn't see you" I pushed off the man's arms gently and turned to face mike "mike. My. Fucking. Hair. Is . wet!" I made tiny first with my hands as I walked slowly up to mike. It had taken me a long time to blow dry my hair and keep it nice for work. And now it was ruined. My hard work was going down the drain. "Bells I didn't mean to!" I shook my head at him "mike. Go. Now!" he nodded and walked back to his room and began to set up. I felt someone tap my shoulder as I turned around I was face to face with the man who I had ran into "I'm sorry about this. My assistant is very..childish if I must say" he gave me a crooked grin and shook his head "it's alright actually" I gave him a smile and walked to the back of the desk and took out two towels. I wrapped one around my hair as I took the other one and walked up to the guy. "here let me dry off your hair. It's the least I can do" he nodded as I took the towel and wrapped it around his head. making sure I dried up his hair very well. I couldn't help but inhale deeply as I dried him off. He smelled so good. No man has ever smelled so good like him. I heard the door open and got in my tippy toes "Welcome to Bella's and mikes ink how can I help you?" I watched as the woman looked at me up and down.

"I would love it if she took your hands of my boyfriend" I raised my eye brow at her and looked at the man I was helping to dry off. Immediately I dropped my hands to my side and watched as the guy looked at me with a confused expression. He raised his eyebrow and looked behind him. "Love, she was just helping me dry off" she rolled her eyes and walked up to him giving him a kiss on his lips. I turned around and walked to the desk and looked through the papers. "Excuse me miss. I am looking for Bella. She is suppose to do my tattoo" I looked at her and at the guy and inwardly groaned. "Nice to meet you. I'm Bella" I didn't look at her nor stuck out my hand. I kept my eyes focused on the papers. "I am the owner of this place and so is mike. Now I guess you must be Tanya. So let's get ready"

I put the papers away and walked into the tiny hallway. I could hear her mumbling in the background "Some people just don't have good manner." I stopped and turned around "Well I am sorry. My mother didn't live long to teach me manners. Now take off the shirt and lay down on your stomach and I will be right back" I walked out and went to mike. "So bells how is your customer?" he had a silly grin on his face as he ate his Chinese food. "mike I will kill you one day. She is so rude and nasty. I hope I mess up her tattoo." He chuckled and took another bite of his food. I decided I would steal his chicken lo-mein and walked out with it in my hand while I took a bite. "Bells! That's my dinner!" I waved him off and walked back to the room to find the guy in there alone.

"where is Tanya?" I placed the food in the counter and sat down in the chair "she went for a smoke. She will be back shortly" I nodded and took back the food and began to eat. I looked at him and took a bite. I wondered what his name was and I planned to find out. "My name is Isabella but most people call me bells or Bella" I stuck out my hand for him to shake. He smiled and took my hand in his "Edward Cullen" I nodded as he shook my hand. I pulled away when I felt as if I was being electrocuted with something. We both looked at our hands then back at one another "did you feel that?" he asked as I just stared at him with my mouth hanging open. I shook my head and closed my mouth "yeah..weird" I mumbled as I seen Tanya walk in. "okay I think I am ready now" I nodded and put on some gloves. "it might hurt but please don't move a lot. If anything let me know and I will stop to give you a break" she nodded as I took my things and brought them closer. "but if it hurts why do you have so many around your body?" I chuckled as she asked me. everyone always says the same thing and I find it funny. "I love tattoo's. they don't hurt me. the pain doesn't hurt me at all" she nodded and rested her head in her arms as edward walked to be in front of her. "don't worry love, you will be fine. If it hurts just hold my hand okay?" I rolled my eyes and began to place the tattoo in her lower back as she wanted. "okay I will begin now" I placed my hand on her upper back and began to trace the outline of her tattoo with the needle.

She didn't move a lot for that I was thankful. She did wince at some point but stayed quiet. Edward kept his eyes on me with a smile on his face. I began to wonder if he was trying to cheat on his girlfriend. I shook my head and changed the needles. "I will begging to color it so it might feel different" she propped herself on her elbows and looked at me "okay. But can I get some water?" I nodded as she stood up and walked out the room. I sat there watching edward as he watched me. something about him made me feel..weird. my heart would pick up its pace without him doing anything. He looked up at the door with a perplexed look in his face. I turned around to see alice looking at him with her mouth hanging open with Jarianna beside her.

"mommy!" I stood up as she ran to me. I picked her up and twirled her around. "hi baby! how was your day with grandpa?" she took off her bag and pulled out a drawing "me and grandpa did it!" I smiled as I took the picture and looked at it. she had drew a picture of me and Charlie In front of a house. I kissed her cheek and looked at her as she had the biggest smile on her face "I love it! I'm going to hang it up in my office. You pick a place and I will put it there" she squealed and jumped out of my arms and looked around the room. "Alice. Can you wait with Jarianna for a while? I have to finish someone's tattoo" she closed her mouth and nodded "can I speak to you outside for a moment bells?" I looked at Jarianna who was still focused on looking for a place for her drawing. I nodded and followed her outside. She pressed me against the wall and smiled widely "who is that hunk of a man!" I laughed as she looked back in the room. "that is my clients boyfriend." Her smile dropped and she shrugged "well that sucks: I laughed and walked back in the room

"mommy! I found a place!" she stuck out her hand for me to hold. "where is it baby?" she pointed above Edward's head. she wanted it next to the picture of me and Renee in the hospital after I had given birth. I looked down at her and smiled taking the picture in my hand. I walked over to where edward was and stood next to him. Placing the drawing next to the picture. I couldn't reach so I decided to step on a chair and try. Yes! I said to myself as I got it to stay. I lost my balance and fell backwards into a pair of strong arms. I opened my eyes to find him looking down at me with his beautiful green eyes. His face was only inches away from mines. my heart began to race as I stared at his eyes.

"Are you alright Isabella?" my eyes traveled down to his lips and back up to his eyes. "Yes" I whispered, not trusting my voice to speak louder. He placed his palm on my cheek as he stroke it with his thumb removing a piece of my hair that was in my face. He began to lean in towards me until I hears her yell.

"Edward! What the fuck are you doing?!" both edward and I looked at Tanya who was standing by the door with anger in her eyes.
