     “Bella!” Angela peeked her head out from the kitchen. “I’m so glad you made it home before I left. This is the last box.”
           A sound echoed from down the hallway, coming from the bedroom formerly known as Angela’s. I peeked my head around the corner and saw a shadow move across the doorway.
           “He’s here already?” I whispered.
           “Yeah. He didn’t have much…Good thing the living and dining room furniture was mostly yours or you’d have an empty apartment.” She leaned in close and smirked. “I’m not going to lie. He’s really hot.”
           “Really?” I squeaked.
           “I mean I know you’re kinda-sorta dating Paul, but there will be a gorgeous guy sleeping not twenty feet from you. I say you should take advantage of it. I don’t think he has a girlfriend.”
           I peeked my head into the hallway again. Now I was fucking curious as to who this knight in shining armor was. Angela was right, I had been on a few dates with this guy I met at the bookstore. He was nice…but that was about it. Nice. The only guy I’d ever been serious with was my boyfriend from high school and that was a fucking train wreck. He was the only person I ever really loved and it didn’t end well. If I never saw him again it would be too soon. Way too soon.
           “Here let me introduce you.” Angela smiled and skipped down the hallway, pulling me behind her. I popped my sucker into my mouth and took a deep breath as we stepped into the room. “Bella this is your new roommate.” He was turned away from me, shrugging out of his leather jacket. He set it on the bed and ran his fingers through his messy bronze hair and turned towards me. As soon as I saw his face, I inhaled a sharp breath and started choking on my sucker.
           I doubled over and started hacking until it popped out onto the floor and rolled towards his feet. “Shit!” I whispered, not wanting to look him in the eye. This is not happening Bella. You’re hallucinating. The only reason you see his face right now is because you were just thinking about him.
           “I’d know that gag reflex anywhere,” he teased.
           My fists clenched at my sides as I straightened back up. “Fuck,” I mumbled. I wasn’t hallucinating. He was here. Right in front of me. The only boy I’d ever loved and the one I never wanted to see again.
           “This is…” Angela started.
           “Edward fucking Cullen what are you doing in my apartment?!”
