The other side of the mirror

Thank you I LOVE EDWARD for the banner (bottom)

Edward and Bella have lived next door to each other all their lives but never had a chance to sit down and get to know each other. The Cullen family owns many business's across the country and a famous french Restaurant. what happens when the most wanted man in America wants Bella and only looks at her through the other side of a giant double sided mirror.

I do not own the twilight characters but do use the characters. lucky stephanie meyer.

Ch. 1 long lived crush

I am Edward Cullen, son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, brother too Jasper and Emmett Cullen, and wanted by the women in Washington. Many people think of me as a player because that’s what the magazines and newspapers write. I love having companies spread over the world and knowing people know who I am but I also hate not being able to go out with a decent girl because no one wants me for me everyone wants me for money. My mom Esme owns a restaurant she calls Le Tapis Rouge it’s a very elegant restaurant named by my great grand parent who lived in France, hence the name being French translated to English it means the red carpet. They started it with hopes of it becoming big and loved by all the important people in the states, Esme did just that by advertising it and now many “important people” like celebrities and authority figures come to eat. My mom was poor when she met my father, Carlisle fell in love with her and both of their parents agreed so here we are.

“Having fun looking at the girl of you dreams” Jasper said strolling in casually.

“Jazz I am hopeless aren’t I?” I asked him. See there was this girl who worked at my restaurant, actually Esme was in love with Bella because she was her late best friend Renee’s daughter. My attraction started when I first saw her at the age of 6 and she was only 5, yeah yeah young love, but she never noticed me. I would see her playing at our school and I remembered sharing crayons with her whenever Em and Jazz weren’t around.

*flashback*
I had just gotten a break from Emmett and Jasper who were currently watching power rangers the movies (that is the best movie ever) and ms. Wonderful told us to do something because she was grading papers for her 6th grade class.

“hi Bella” I said shyly, I went to sit in the green chair while she sat in the blue.

“hi Edward” she looked up “Do you want to draw something?” she was playing with her hands.

“yeah that sounds like a lot of fun” I grinned like I had one a whole batch of cookies. We pulled a piece of paper out and some crayons to start drawing. In the middle of our session I saw her looking for some more colors.

“here Bella” I said passing her the crayon box, “ we can both use the crayons.” I passed her the box and she kindly accepted them.

10 minutes later….

“hey Ederd…can I see what your drawing?”

“yup” she sat closer to me and we exchanged papers.

“wow that’s a pretty sun Ederd” Bella said smiling.”

“really” I grinned cheekily as she nodded.

*end of flashback*

I know who likes someone after they share crayons with her…but as she got older I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I wanted to be with her. And then high school came around and I got pushed up because Emmett was super popular and Bella was left to fend for herself. I was always happy she had Alice and Rosalie to befriend with, Jasper being a year younger than me but still in my grade along with Bella, Alice, and Rosalie because all of them were either to smart or made the age mark to be in the our class. Jasper also had a slight crush on Alice and Emmett had a crush on Rosalie but we never talked to the much because we were in the popular crowd and the weren’t. Bringing me back to the future, Bella liked to look over herself but that wasn’t going to happen with Esme and Sarah being with her. She was currently working for a Publishing company and working part time here. And every day she would clean the large mirror that reflected our guest, but she didn’t know that this was a double sided mirror that we got to look over the people. That was were I got to see her because I didn’t have enough power to go up her and ask her out.

BPOV

“welcome to our restaurant Mr. and Mrs. Banks!, do you have a reservation?” I asked sweetly. I loved working here. Oh I didn’t even get to introduce myself, I am Isabella Swan but I like to be called Bella. I work at two places, full time at a publishing company and part time here taking calls, calculating the expenses, and occasionally cleaning up.

“yes” Mr. Banks answered me. I looked down the list and found their name with the number 4 across it.

“are two more people joining you tonight?” I asked walking them to an empty table.

“yes! My daughter and her husband are coming down to see us! All the way from Italy.” I smiled to them but I didn’t feel it . This happened so many times to them, they would make reservations for 4 and then the other 2 never came.

“that’s nice… well our waiters will be out with your preferable wine” I walked away with hope that their daughter would make it.

“Angela” I called from the podium.

“yes” Angela was my partner here at the restaurant and I don’t know where I would be without her today.

“it’s the Banks!” I smiled knowing that wall I had to say. I was walking through the tables when I heard the usual gossip going around.

“Janice did you know Edward, Jasper, and Emmett are single?” the girl said. Great more people talking about the three famous sons of America.

“Yeah I did Laurice they are like the cutest things on this planet.” one of them leaned toward the mirror and fixed her hair. Wait I hadn’t clean that! Another thing to do.

“well whatever you too they wouldn’t go out with us…we are like only 16” another girl said.

“we can hope” Janice said. What did she know? I have had this huge crush on Edward ever since I was 16 years old because he saved me from falling down the stairs.

*flashback*

I had just gone to go pick up a dress Esme had bought for me from Italy when she had gone their during the summer.

“Bye Esme! I really love the dress but you shouldn’t have!” I said walking toward the stairs.

“Oh Bella nonsense it is going to look spectacular on you” I smiled at her and forgot the stair were close by when I tripped over the banister. Waiting for the stairs to bruise my body two arms came intact with my waist and I was set on the ground. Turning to see my savior I ducked my head and immediately recognized the scent, it was Edward.

“Bella please be careful.” Edward said embracing me.

“Thank you Edward”

“I am walking you down the stairs” Edward said.

“no Edward” but it was too late he was walking with me holding the side of my body. When we finally made it to the door I thanked him and he closed the door muttering something…

*End of flashback*

I knew the brothers because I myself lived at the Brandon’s which was next door to the cullens mansion and were my best friend since forever lived. Esme the owner of this restaurant and Sarah Alices mom took me as their child after Renee my mom died. I was
A wreck because I had already lost Charlie that same year. Edward would at times play with Alice and I or we would see them in high school from time to time. Alice, Rosalie (my other best friend), and I were always made fun of, which I don’t understand because they were beautiful. The Cullens however lived the life of luxury all their lives they
were always considered popular.

Now Alice, Rosalie, and I lived in a lovely flat in New York and we all had two jobs even though we didn’t need them we liked to have the feeling of assurance in our lives. My parents had left me with a lot of money but I only used it for University. Alice has her own line of clothing and Rosalie is a super model but also a car designer. I looked at the clock and saw 3 hours had passed, most of the people were gone, The banks were still awaiting their guests, and I had a mirror to clean.

Edward= 23
Bella =22
Alice=22
Rosalie=23 (had to start in their class because her b-day is in December.)
Jasper=22
Emmett=25

CH.5 A toast to 3 solid hours

“Answer away” she said freely. She was blushing by now, the famous Bella blush, I knew I should have asked her something else but my thoughts slipped.

“Why do you blush so much?” I asked. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP

“Excuse me?”

“I am sorry I just wanted to know its been on my mind ever since elementary school.” now she will definitely know I have loved her for so long. AAHHHHH! I am an idiot.

“its alright Edward I just thought you were joking, I really don’t know…my mom said I am so pale that the color is trying to break its way through me, like I am truly colorful inside. I know its stupid” she blushed looking down, clearly embarrassed. And I myself didn’t exactly feel happy either, here I am trying to get the girl of my dreams to love me and I make her uncomfortable.

“Bella you are the most Colorful person I know” I looked at her trying to send a message through my eyes.

“prove it” she said quietly.

“I don’t have to” she was about to say something else when the Banks walked through the door.

“Hello Mrs. Banks how are you?” I asked, she was my mothers good friend and her son and I hung out whenever we saw each other.

“I am as fresh as a daisy, glad to see you to here. Feels good not to be stood up.”

“now now” Bella interrupted. “we will try not to reminisce on the past. We are all here and we can finally get ready for a lovely dinner, right Mr. Banks?” she smiled. God she was amazing.

“of course. No one could say it better dear. And Please we have known each other far to long to get all fancy, call me Henry.”

“and do call me Rosetta” I smiled and held Bella’s seat as she sat down. As did Henry, but not before giving me a sly wink.

“so what sounds good” I said smiling. “I was thinking Pate de campagne maison for starters?”
“sounds delicious. What do you think honey?” Henry said.

“I think that sounds delicious” they gave each other glances and held hands.

“Bella?” she was staring at the couple, her eyebrows pulled together in a concentrated look.

“oh? Ummm.. Yes sounds good” I questioned her with my eyes and she just gave me as stiff nod and smile.

“Okay well here is the waiter, just in time”

“hello I am Dean, I will be your waiter for tonight what can I get you?” he looked at Bella most of the time.

I cleared my throat. “ I would like some white wine preferably Piat de D’or. Bella what would you like?” I said a little possessive.

She gave me a hard look. “the same” she smiled kindly and that left a dead look on my face.

“I will have the Alsace, and I believe Rosetta will have the same.” he questioned.

“yes, thank you, we will also have Pate de campagne maison” he wrote it down.

“is that all you need? Or are you ready to get the main course?”

“that is all right for now.” I really wanted him to go, he was making me uncomfortable.

“ok, be right back” GREAT!

“Bella when did he start?” Rosetta asked.

“oh well I am not sure, I don’t know him”

“well he is absolutely adorable, isn’t he Henry?” I growled a little to loudly.

“Edward is much more adorable, but yes he is okay” he gave me a look that said “you owe me”

“Oh Henry!” Rosetta said leaving the last conversation behind. “James called us last night, he needs about 300 dollars and I said I will talk to you.” I was upset.

“NO! I will not give him any more of my money, ever since he got out of high school he has done nothing but take my money and gamble it off.” James was always a ladies man and he never talked to me because I wasn’t “cool” enough. Hence smoking or drinking.

“I am behind Henry 100%, Rosetta, James has taken the liberty to stand you up with Victoria numerous amounts of time and I will not let that happen again. Please don’t let James take over.” I was practically begging at the end.

“well I guess we are going to have to discuss that a little later on honey. Its upsetting he is deserting us but we have no choice but to carry on with our lives. I find it hard to believe why a son and daughter in law can’t find the time to come visit there parents but always have time to gamble.” Rosetta just stared at her food, we all knew she was broken up by this. Her eyes told her story and to an outsider like Bella it wouldn’t be hard to notice the pain that engulfed them.

“You know I really thought this dinner would be refreshing but all its making me think about is my son. I do not want to leave you two here abandoned but as you can see” he paused and looked at his wife who was now crying “ its time for us to go. I do apologize and thank you, we should do this another time. Soon Edward and Bella you my dear looked beautiful. Edward is a lucky man” he tapped Rosetta who seemed distant and peacefully said there farewells to both of us.

As they left Dean came back with the drinks to kill my mood. “Are they leaving?” he asked a little annoyed. I could feel his pain, holding 4 wine glasses and walking all the way across the restaurant with them is not fun, however I didn’t care.

“ya think!” surprisingly I wasn’t the one who was saying it.

“-” he left leaving the two wine glasses and one bottle.

“well I believe we still have 3 solid hours.” I said turning into her.

“I believe we do” she smiled, while picking up a glass of wine and handing it to me and taking one for herself to take a sip and toast.

“to three solid hours!” Bella said.

“to three solid hours!” I said back tipping the glass.
