Alice
wandered down the emergency department. Bella was off today, but she was
determined to find a few of her roommate’s coworkers for a party for Bella’s
thirtieth birthday. Yes, it had been a week ago, but it was her thirtieth
birthday. It was kind of a big deal and Bella ignored it.
Alice,
however, would not.
“Alice
Brandon, as I live and breathe,” cooed Shelly. “What are you doing down here?”
“I’m
on a mission. A secret mission. I’m planning,” Alice snickered.
“Who’s
birthday?” Shelly laughed.
“Bella’s,”
Alice nodded. “I know it was last week, but she deserves more than what she
got. So, I’m planning a surprise party at Game Works.”
“Oooh,
when?” Shelly asked.
“Saturday
night, meeting there for dinner at six and games until it closes. I’m off, as
is Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. Marcus Volturi and his husband, Felix, are
coming, too,” Alice nodded.
“Damn
it. I’m on,” Shelly grumbled. “Grace is off. She’s close with Bella.”
“Pass
the word onto her, will ya?” Alice asked. “Oh, and is Dr. Masen here?”
“In
his office,” Shelly smirked. She leaned forward, her brow arched. “I think he’s
sweet on Bella.”
“Me,
too,” Alice giggled. “But, I’m going to invite him. It’ll be up to him if he
wants to come. I’ll give you the deets if he does show up. Laters!” Alice
walked toward Dr. Masen’s office. The door was opened and she heard typing.
Gently knocking, she poked her head inside. “Dr. Masen?”
“Yes?”
he said, sounding exasperated. He blinked up, seeing Alice’s face. “Nurse
Brandon, what a surprise to see you down here in the emergency department. Are
you floating today?”
“Oh,
no. I’m on break, but I wanted to talk to you. Well, invite you …” Alice
blushed. He arched a brow. “Look, I know that you and Bella are kind of
friendly-like. I’m throwing her a surprise party, even though her birthday was
a week ago, but it was a milestone birthday. Anyhow, a bunch of us are going to
Game Works. To celebrate, Bella’s birthday. It’s happening on Saturday and
perhaps, if you’re not working, you’d like to go?”
Edward
schooled his looks, trying to appear impassive. “I’m working on Saturday, but
if I get off early enough, I could stop by. I don’t know,” he shrugged.
“What
shift?” Alice asked.
“Seven
to seven,” he answered.
“Send
me a text if you’re coming,” Alice chirped, jotting down her number and putting
it on Edward’s desk. “I’ll see you on Saturday?”
