When World's Collide

Edward

Alice was perched on the edge of my couch when I walked into my room.

"Come right out and say whatever it is you need to say." I sighed removing my coat. This couldn't be good.

"Jasmine's pretty isn't she?" She started off slowly.

"I suppose." I growled. What in the world was Alice going on about now?

But when I thought back on it, she was beautiful. Her dark curls had been left loose around her shoulders and her crisp button up shirt hugged her in all the right places. She had creamy skin and full lips. Her red heels had caught my attention. They reminded me of a pair Alice had.

"You couldn't read her, could you?" She asked picking at a loose thread in the couch's fabric.

"No."

"You two will be good together. You're not the only one with secrets."

And with that she left the room and I was left with a nervous feeling in my gut.



Jasmine

"You're late." Dr. Karim said curtly. Her lips pressed in a thin line.

God this woman terrified me.

"I'm terribly sorry doctor, but the coffee shop you told me to go to was closed for the day so I had to search for the nearest one and I’m new to the area, so I’m not sure where everything is yet." I explained trying to balance the four burning hot cups of liquid on top of the doctor’s files and mail.

God don't let me spill anything, please!

Poor thing. I heard coming from behind me. I turned and saw Dr. Cullen approaching me. He gave me a warm smile.

"Good morning Jasmine. Here let me give you a hand." He said taking the loaded coffee tray from me.

"Thank you Dr. Cullen and good morning." I smiled giving him full scale gratitude.

"Hello Carlisle. Jasmine, bring in the bagels to the conference room we will be in, sort my mail, file what is on my desk and empty those boxes that are under my desk and have it waiting for me when I come back." Dr. Karim barked at me.

"Yes Doctor." I said, my cheeks burning with shame. How did she always make me feel like I was in trouble? The two began to walk away, Carlisle giving me sad smile.

"Oh, Doctor?"

"Yes?" She asked in a huff.

"Which conference room?"

She rolled her eyes. "Did you not read the memo? It's conference room five." She nearly yelled at me.

"Come now Aaliyah don't be so hard on the poor girl." Carlisle said unhappiness apparent in his tone.

Stupid girl making me look bad in front of my colleagues! I heard her roar while shooting me daggers.

I lowered my head and ran to fetch the bagels. My hands shook as I set the food up on a table in the conference room. More Doctors filled into the room as I was finishing up.

"You can leave now Jasmine." Dr. Karim ordered as she took her seat between Carlisle and another doctor I believed was Dr. Bhatti.

"Yes Dr." I murmured scurrying to her office to sort and file. What a great way to start off a day.



Edward

I couldn't get Jasmine out of my head and it made me angry. This was how it began with Bella and I refused to go down that road again. I paced around my bedroom; the room seemed too small as I went back and forth. I felt like a caged animal. I had to get out of here.

Jasmine

I barely made it into my apartment before I started to cry. It was only my third day and I wanted to quit. Dr. Karim was an evil, old lady. I hated her!

My cell rang, Jessie once again flashed on the screen.

I swear she had a sixth sense for when I was upset.

"Hello?" I sobbed.

"Babe, what's wrong?"

"I want to quit! I hate it here! Dr. K is an evil, old hag! She completely humiliated me all day! She always makes me feel like a stupid little girl. It doesn't help that what she says aloud is hardly any better than what she keeps to herself." I mumbled.

"You can't quit. You moved there for a reason. Don't you want to find out why?"

"Not anymore. I don't care how happy I was in that vision. I'm miserable now."

She sighed, "You don't mean that."

"Don't I? How do I even know my vision will come true? I don't even know why I was so happy. I just was. I moved to a different fucking state because of a stupid unclear vision! I'm such an idiot!" I screamed.

"You know Aunt Victoria always says to do what you think is right and you obviously thought this was right."

"Easy for her to say she's over a thousand years old." I grumbled.

"Look, if you're just going to bitch I'm not going to talk to you until you calm down."

"Shut up. You know you called just to let me bitch." I laughed.

Jessie and I continued to talk past midnight till I went to bed.



Edward

I sat in the tree outside Jasmine's apartment hoping if I saw her I could get her out of my head. I sighed to myself thinking that I was getting really good at this stalking thing.

My chest tightened painfully when I saw her walk in, tears streaming down her pale face.

I felt intrusive listening to Jasmine's phone conversation. I was about to leave until I heard her say she could hear her bosses' thoughts.

She's a telepath?

My eyebrows knitted together in confusion when she said she had moved here because of a vision she had had.

She was psychic as well?

Alice wasn't kidding. She had plenty of her own secrets.

A/N

Anyways, this is actually based on a job that I had. The situations and conversations are one's that I had with my old boss....She was a mean old lady and she terrified me. In other words I like to think that Edward has a bit of a shoe fetish!
