“Well Bella, I’ve been waiting for you. I will need to train you for a few days, so you can learn the basic procedure we have here at Virginia Mason. First things first though,” Dr. Cullen paused to throw me a heart stopping grin, “You can call me Edward.”

Oh god, I was in trouble.

I swallowed loudly and looked down at my clasped hands. 

“It’s nice to meet you Edward,” I said shyly, keeping my eyes lowered. I heard a deep chuckle and reluctantly looked up.

“Nice to meet you too Bella,” Edward replied, looking at me with an impish smile. I stared stupidly at him for a few minutes. Finally he cleared his voice and I looked away, flushing with embarrassment.

“You’ve got a nice educational background,” Edward finally said, looking down at my resume in his hands.

‘You’ve got a nice ass,’ I thought, eyeing his sleek muscles, and remembering the vision of his tight backside.

Edward dropped my resume in surprise and looked up at me. His bewildered expression confused me, had I done something wrong?

“Excuse me?” he finally asked, his voice thick.

I tilted my head in confusion and Edward began to laugh deeply.

“Uh, am I missing something?” I asked looking around the room for anything that would explain Edward’s behavior. 

Edward continued to laugh and I felt myself beginning to get annoyed. What was wrong with Dr. Mcstupid sexy? 

“Care to explain?” I finally asked, adapting an icy disposition.

Immediately Edward’s deep laughter cut off. He raised an eyebrow at me and I crossed my hands over my chest, sending him my best glare.

“I think you spoke your thoughts,” Edward finally said in his rich voice. I stared at him for a few seconds, until comprehension dawned.

Immediately my face flamed, I could feel the blush spilling onto my cheeks.

“I am so sorry! That was completely unprofessional of me,” I said, ignoring the zing of disappointment that I felt upon realizing that he laughed at it. But whom was I kidding; Dr. Gorgeous wouldn’t want anything to do with the plain Jane nurse.

Tears of embarrassment began to creep up and I lowered my head into my hands. I waited patiently for the floor to swallow me up, which was the least the heavens could do for me.
