Chapter One: Stay Away

Rosalie's POV

I knew I was beautiful. That was not news to me, and though it was quite shallow I loved it. I could get what I wanted when I wanted it. Life was great. My twin brother, Jasper, was the best and a total genius. We had one of those do anything for each other relationships. My best friend, Isabella Swan, was utterly amazing as well. I admit I hated her for the longest time after meeting her, a long time meaning the from kindergarten to my sophomore year in college. Yep, life for me, Rosalie Hale was absolutely perfect. Well until I met him.

It all started about a month after starting at the auto repair shop I had chose to work at when we moved from my beloved New York to dreary Washington. (I was a mechanical genius if I do say so myself.) Anyway, Bella had come in to tell me that she had invited our new down the street and around the corner neighbors to dinner. I mean really who does that, down the street and around the corner?

I sneered slightly, nothing unusual for me, and told her I'd be home sometime after I got off work. She was making my favorite, lasagna which more than made up for her inviting strangers into our home.

"I'm so gross right now" I mumbled staring down at my grease covered hands before shrugging my shoulders.

"Rosie you are a genius" my boss told me as I was washing my hands so I could grab my stuff.

"I know" I told him rolling my eyes, even though I knew he couldn't see.

"Well you have a good night" he said smiling at me with that same sick smile I seemed to encounter with most of the male population.

"You too Arnie" I told him giving him a half smile before rushing out the door.

I hopped into my baby, a gorgeous red BMW M3 convertible and headed to the house I shared with my two favorite people. Our house was pretty big considering there were only three of us living there. It belonged to my late parents. They had left it to us in their will.

"Rosalie!" came the deep voice of my brother when I pulled into the drive.

"Yes Jasper" I said getting out of my car, my beautiful, beautiful car.

"Do you love me?" he asked grinning like he had done something wrong.

"What did you do Jasper?" I asked almost thoroughly irritated, it had been a long day.

"I just wanted to know if you love me? Anyway since I can obviously see you don't I'll just let you know that our guests will be here any minute you might want to take a shower, you smell really bad" he said pouting huffily.

"You know I do love you Jazz. I think I will go try that whole showering thing" I laughed punching him lightly as I passed.

Mmm. A bubble bath did sound quite lovely as I walked into the house. The house was well decorated, colorful walls were filled with pictures. I loved that. My bathroom and bedroom were my favorites though. We each had our own bathroom that connected to our bedrooms. Mine, my favorite obviously, matched my cherry red bedroom. The large whirlpool tub was black marble matching the floors. There was a large mirror that hung above the sink. It was absolutely perfect for me. Bella's room and bathroom were simple. They were always neat, and like mine they matched one another in her favorite color, blue. Jasper. Oh Jasper was a totally different story. He wasn't messy per se. He just had a clutter of stuff. He, being the smartest out of the three of us, had his black colored bedroom cluttered with books upon books upon books. Well at any rate you get the picture.

By the time my shower was done, I could tell that our guests had arrived. Not that I actually cared, because well there was no way I would hurry myself just because some people were here. I started to walk out of my bathroom and into my room when I noticed someone in my room.

"Who the hell are you" I demanded angrily to the grinning buffoon that had taken residence on my bed.

"Emmett Cullen at your service" he said grinning cheekily.

"Get out, NOW!" I yelled, I had just taken a nice bubble bath and was in a great mood and then this idiot had to ruin it.

"I'll see you downstairs, you look great in a towel by the way" He told me winking, causing me to shriek in rage. I would definitely be having a few words with Bella.

He left my room, slowly, very slowly. It was irritating and that was an understatement, but I couldn't think of a better word. I put a bit of mascara on and some lip gloss and went to my closet. I found a dress I hadn't seen in forever. It was a red halter that hugged my body. I knew I looked great. Smiling to myself I decided it was time for me to show my presence. Bella was not happy that it had taken me so long.

"Rosalie" she hissed saying my name very angrily.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to our guests Isabella" I smirked drawing out her name.

"Oh, yeah Rosalie this is Edward Cullen and his siblings, Alice and Emmett" Bella said her tone lightening at the mention of our guests causing my eyebrow to raise slightly and a grin to form.

"I've already met the big oaf. For some reason he was in my room when I got out of my bath." I said smiling sweetly eyeing him with distaste.

"Forgive my brother he has no manners," Edward said apologizing.

"Not necessary, he should be apologizing, not you" I said glaring at him.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale, you need to be polite" Jasper snapped.

"My apologies" I muttered before cheering up, "When's food going to be done, I'm starving. I had the worlds longest day"

"In a few minutes, I have to check on it" Bella grinned before getting up.

"Allow me to help" Edward said getting up quickly.

Ha! I knew there was something. I then turned my attention back to our other guests. Jasper had taken to Alice almost immediately. It was so weird being the odd man, er girl out.

"So Rosie who's beamer is out there?" the idiot was talking to me, great.

"Mine" I replied curtly.

"Nice, you should let me drive it" Emmett said, still grinning that goofy grin that he had been wearing since his intrusion in my bedroom.

"Not in a million years" I started, but Bella had cut me off announcing the food was done before I could finish my rude reply.

I ate silently while the others talked amongst themselves. I didn't know what was up with me. I was usually never this uncouth. I finally just decided to blame it on my bad day at work. I frowned slightly when I looked at Bella. You could already tell she liked this Edward guy. It was strange. She never opened up to any guy before. Why was this guy any different? And Jasper, oh Jasper. He was mooning over Alice. My brother NEVER mooned.

"Rosie" came Bella's soft voice interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah Bells?" I said snapping out of the reverie I was in.

"You were staring" she said.

"At what?' I was pretty confused by now.

"Me"

All I could think was oh god as I turned to face the voice.

'Please don't be him, please don't be him. FUCK' I thought as I turned to face him.

"Oh god" I said putting my head in my hands.

I couldn't believe I had been staring at HIM. I wasn't doing it on purpose, in fact I would never have noticed if it was never pointed out. Damn Bella for being so observant and damn him for being here. The night ended soon after the whole staring incident. I stayed silent the rest of the time not paying any attention to our guests. Rude I know, but I couldn't deal with the embarrassment.

"Rosie" Jasper started softly after waving goodbye to the Cullens.

"Yeah Jazz" I answered my voice was a little shaky.

"Why were you like that, its so unlike you to be rude. Well that rude." He said frowning.

For once in my life I was at a loss because I honestly had no clue.
