Based off of Keeping Up with the Kardashian's, hope you enjoy.
Edward POV: June 2009
Finally a day off from filming.
My mom seriously needed to prioritise her life. I know her life is busy right now while been a manager to six kids in the entertainment business, and been a mom, but she seriously needed to get the fuck over it. It's like all she cares about now is her 10%.
You see my family is very well known after been asked by E! Entertainment, to take part in a reality show. My stupid fucking older brother had to open his mouth to his friend Garrett Jones, who worked down at E!, why they hadn't asked our family to do a reality TV show. It was all because of that Kardashian family whose reality show came out two years ago.
I was stupidly with him when it happened as we were having lunch together, he'd just turned round and said;
February 2008.
"So you make a show about a family with six kids and a daughter whose claim to fame is a sex tape. Why didn't you ask my family first? I mean there are six of us, I'm famous for playing baseball, Edward here's famous for acting and modelling and whatever. Alec well, he's probably going to be on the cover of Architectural Digest at some point when he creates a masterpiece, as we all know he will. Alice is already on her way to been the next biggest fashion designer there is. Plus my mom was a momager way before that Kris Jenner ever was. I mean, she's mine, Edward's and Alice's manager, not to mention Chelsea and Cynthia too, so why not ask us?"
Then he took a big bite of his burger and shrugged. Garrett just looked at him with his mouth hanging open for a full minute, I couldn't help it, it made me laugh. He finally came back to us.
"Would you seriously go for that?" He asked us leaning forward, but I knew he was mainly asking me due to the fact that I'm slightly more known then Emmett.
"You mean do I want my private life to be intruded by a bunch of cameras?" he nodded. "Not really no." I said and picked up my beer and having a sip.
"Oh come on Edward live a little. This might be a chance for you to prove your not a really a moody, fuck-what-ever-moves kinda guy," I just looked at him. "What? Its true, you go on a date with a chick and you're automatically fucking the girl so, wouldn't you rather prove it's not true?" He asked.
"The thing is though Emmett, yeah Edward would be the draw, but it would have to have everyone in it, even your mom and dad. And how would it work without Alice in it?" Emmett laughed.
"Alice would move back home if it meant her clothing line would gain nation wide publicity. The first episode could be of us helping her move here, like we did when she moved to New York for school, it could show that were a "normal" family and all that shit," Emmett said with air quotes on the normal. Myself and Garrett just looked at him.
"You've thought a lot about this haven't you Emmett?" I asked. He nodded and had some of his fries.
"Yeah me and Rose (his wife) was watching the Kardashian's last night and she said something like it should be our family on there and you know what I agreed with her. We're actually famous for doing things, not for sex tapes and been famous just for the sake of it. I mean Eddie boy here has an Oscar under his belt, not to mention, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a SAG Award, you have an Emmy too right?" he asked I nodded, "See one little appearance on Grey's Anatomy and he bags himself an Emmy. So I think my family has way more reason to do it then they do," He declared.
"It wasn't just one episode, it was five and you call yourself a Grey's Anatomy super fan? Yeah right," I muttered will having some of my pasta.
"Whatever Edward, just say you'll do it?" He asked while giving me his puppy dog eyes that only work on mom, Chelsea and Cynthia.
"Dude! That shit doesn't work with me." I told him, "Plus Garrett has to pitch the idea first before I..."
"I just did and they love the idea. They think it would be a great way to get to know each of you, especially you Edward and to rival the Kardashian's show."
Me and Emmett turned to look at him and he was texting away on his cell.
"They've even said that if it's a one off season or episode it's better than nothing," He looked up at us.
"It's up to you bro," Emmett gestured to me. I sighed and nodded. I have never been more glad that I didn't have any movies coming up until September.
June 2009
And that was the beginning of that.
Everyone was up for it even Cynthia was and she could be quite shy really. It must have been three weeks later contracts were made and signed and then we started filming. That's how fast it all happened. I made sure that my contract had that no film crew was to follow me while I was working on-set. Off set was fine but they couldn't for any circumstances be on-set, they were okay with that. Actually there were okay with anything.
In my family theirs Emmett, who's the oldest born, June 12th 1979, then me I'm Edward, born June 20th 1980, then Alec, born June 28th 1984, then Alice, born July 6th 1987, then Chelsea, born July 14th 1995, and last but by no means least Cynthia, who was born July 22nd 1997 and is the baby of the family. My mom is called Esme and my dad is called Carlisle. They've been married for 31 years, mom was 23 and dad was 25. They married on September 30th 1978 and exactly nine months later Emmett was born.
Yes I know were all born 8 days apart don't ask my why, we just are.
My dad's a property developer, and has a multi-million dollar business. Mom was an interior designer up until Emmett got signed buy the Los Angeles Dodgers back in 2000 and became his manager. The reason she did was because his agent almost screwed him over by nearly losing his contract, but my mom saved the day and even managed to get him a better deal. From then on she has always been his manager. I'm an actor. I got offered a role after I did a jeans campaign for Calvin Klein. I won an Oscar when I was 25, for an actor in a supporting role four years ago, but I've been nominated three other times, I honestly do not mean to brag, it's just the truth. Alec went into business with my dad after going to Columbia to study architecture. He'd graduated high school early as he'd skipped the second grade, he also happens to be very good at his job, and is an amazing architect. I was going to go into the family business, but ended up getting spotted by a modelling scout and doing that then going into acting.
Alice is currently a well known, but relatively new fashion designer, after Anna Wintour, went to her first major fashion show. Anna absolutely adored Alice's collection and put her on the 10 designers to watch list in Vogue. So far she was out doing her competition. She had gotten her artistic flare from our mom, and decided to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York. It was difficult to have her in New York, but she was just following her dreams like the rest of us. She moved back to LA when we started the show. Chelsea and Cynthia are both currently still in school so they aren't really in the limelight just yet, although Chelsea has expressed her want to be a model. Cynthia on the other hand just wants to finish school first.
My family was already well known before the Kardashians. Yeah we're all the same age kids wise, but grew up in different parts of LA, we grew up in Beverly Hills, while they grew up in Calabasas and contrary to popular belief, and we weren't spoilt. We had to earn whatever we wanted, and that was either by helping out around the house or other things. Plus if there was always one thing permanently in our house growing up, that was the smell of my mothers cooking. Whether, she was baking cookies for us or making big batches of marinara sources for her amazing Italian dinners or even cakes and cupcakes for the bake sales at school, she was always cooking something.
Anyway right now, I was currently my way to meat Alec for lunch, as I'd just got back from London after filming a movie over there. I was running late and knew he would be pissed he always was if you were late.
"It's about time to," Alec declared as soon as I sat down, he was looking at his watch; I shook my head but still smiled.
"Oh am sorry I'm all of..." I looked at my watch "Fifteen minutes late, I did get back from London yesterday you know, not to mention mom had me filming while I was over there." He raised his eyebrows.
"Really? I haven't even started yet, I know that the new series starts in what October/November so we have like five months of shooting on and off," I nodded, as waitress came over.
"Hi I'm Bree and I'll be your waitress this afternoon, are you both ready to order?" she asked us, even though she was only looking at me.
"Yeah I'll have an Ice tea and the chicken Caesar salad please," Alec affirmed, not even bothering to look at her as he was on his cell.
"And for you?" she purred, I raised my eyebrows up at her not believing it while fucking Alec chuckled away.
"I'll have a coke and I'll also have the chicken Caesar salad…but I would also like a side of fries please." I folded my menu and held it out to her she nodded and did this thing with her lashes, it was weird.
I shook my head and looked towards my brother who was still chuckling quietly at the situation. I rolled my eyes at him and looked back at her when she took the menu off of me, she gave me another supposedly "sexy" smile before walking away. Thank God.
"So how's business?" I asked him as it had been two months since I'd last seen him.
"Great considering the recession and all that, but when the rich want something done you get it done," I nodded, "But all in all, business is good. I met this gorgeous blonde last month seems to be going well…Emmett told me that Rose is pregnant but not to tell anyone especially Alice and mom," Alec rushed out, I just looked at him shocked, how can he go from one conversation to another just like that? Fucker did it on purpose.
"Rose is pregnant?" I whispered. He nodded, at that moment; our waitress brought our drinks over. I decided to wait until she left to talk, but she was taking her sweet fucking time about it and was defiantly making sure I got a glimpse of her breasts as she leant over to put our drinks down. I just rolled my eyes again basically showing her that I wasn't impressed whatsoever and looked away. I happened to look upon a table where two brunettes were eating and talking.
The one in the purple dress looked up at me as if she knew I was looking at her and she blushed when she knew she'd been caught looking. She gave me a smile. It may have been small but it was beautiful.
I smiled my signature crooked smile back at her and she blushed a little more, she quickly looked back towards her friend. I hadn't even realised how close to us they were sitting until now. How could I have missed such a beauty sitting so close to me?
"Earth to Edward? You in there?" Alec said, I looked at him.
"What?"
"You were on about Rose…?" He reminded me.
"Oh yeah, I thought she couldn't have kids?" I asked, Alec nodded.
"So did she. It wasn't until she went to the doctors for a check up that they found out. She's almost five months pregnant. They found out two weeks ago." Alec picked up his ice tea and had a sip.
"How the hell could she not know?" I wondered aloud.
"I really don't want to say this but… it's what Emmett told me. Anyway she's always been irregular, so she didn't think anything of it when she didn't have her...you know...her monthly...cy," I held my hand up to stop him.
"I get it!" I exclaimed and had some of my drink.
"But if she's so far along why hasn't she told anyone?" I asked confused.
"She's scared; she doesn't want to jinx it, which is completely understandable. Plus mom would go off her fucking rocker," I nodded in complete understanding, on both things.
"Bella come on you look fine stop stressing," I heard one of the girls say at the table next to us.
Even Alec turned his head to listen in. Nosey bastard.
"I look like an idiot in this dress, I don't do fancy stuff and you know that! Not to mention this dress was expensive!" I couldn't help but smile.
"Bella it was $80 stop acting like it broke the bank!"
"It did break the flipping bank Angela, unlike you my job isn't as well paid as yours and if you want this months rent, dresses that cost $80 can't happen, especially seen as I will probably never wear it again," I smiled at Alec.
Makes a change to hear about a girl/woman worry about an eighty dollar dress, rather than one that is over five hundred dollars or more.
"You can't go to a baby show dressed in jeans and a t-shirt Bella. It just doesn't sit well with people and I also think that Kate would be pissed if you did. Plus the invitation said fancy," I frowned and looked at Alec, we knew a Kate that was having a baby shower today. Our mom and sisters were going.
"I didn't even want to go, it's a Sunday and she's more your friend then mine!"
I looked to see the woman in the blue dress with pink polka dots laugh, while the woman in the purple dress was the one with the beautiful blush.
"Bella come on." There was a pause and I raised my eyebrow at Alec, he just shrugged and leaned his ear to listen some more.
If there was one thing about Alec he was fucking nosey. He loved and had to be in the loop about everything no matter what it was, even if it had nothing to do with his life what-so-ever. It made throwing him surprise parties a complete utter nightmare.
"Whatever Angela…but if I can't make my rent I blame you," I smiled at Alec and he smiled to.
"Anyway how are things with you and Ben going?" Bella changed the subject just as our meals arrived. Again the waitress looked at me as if I was her next meal; I couldn't help the grimace that graced my face.
"Dude she seriously wants you, it's so funny," I couldn't help the shudder that went through me. She was really, honestly, not my type. Now the little brunette Bella was right up my street for sure.
"Oh things with Ben have kind of cooled off and I really don't know why…I mean…we used to be at it every chance we had. But now I'm lucky if I even get a look in. I think he might be having an affair to be honest," I frowned and looked over at them.
"Angie, Ben would never cheat on you. He loves you too much and you've been together for far too long to throw it all away. Trust me I know he's not," I looked at the one called Bella and there was a look in her eye as if to say she actually knew he wasn't playing away.
"But what if he is Bella?" Angela all but whispered.
"Angela I've known you for years would I really lie to you? No I thought not, not to mention I'm a little glad that the extra curricula activates have stopped."
I had just had some of my drink and I choked on it because I couldn't help the laugh that came when I was about to swallow. They both stopped talking and looked over at us. Alec gave me a look that said "well done asshole, they know we're listening now!"
"I'm sorry, but couldn't help but over hear that," I said sheepishly after wiping my mouth on a napkin.
"Okay great, now Edward Cullen knows my boyfriend is cheating on me, how embarrassing," she said putting her head in her hands.
"I'm honestly really sorry for eavesdropping. But I believe your friend Bella here," I said while nodding towards the gorgeous brunette, who blushed as I said her name and looked down.
"And you want me to take your word for that Mr Movie/Reality Star?" she asked, I couldn't help but laugh at the comment.
"If he was cheating…he wouldn't still call you, he wouldn't still text you and he wouldn't see you as much. Does he do any of them things?" I asked her.
"No, we talk and see each other like normal," she answered.
"Well I'm gonna have to say that he's either been having a hard time at work, trying to get a promotion, or he's thinking about maybe wanting to take your relationship to the next level, but he doesn't know how to do so, so I'd say he's just a little distracted," I told her. They both just looked at me.
"And how would you know?" she asked suspiciously.
"Because, honestly? If I was cheating on my girlfriend I wouldn't be calling or texting her, I'd be calling and texting the other girl," I answered and saw Alec nodding his head.
"I think he's right Angie. I mean the guy never stops texting you, even if it's just to say he loves you." Bella told her softly, and just as she said that Angela's cell beeped, she picked it up and smiled.
"I'm gonna have a guess and say that that was him?" Alec asked, she nodded with a smile on her face.
"There you go; my brother is always right when it comes to love. Even though his own love life isn't so good," I looked at Alec, not believing what he said, "What? It's true."
I shook my head and turned back to the girls.
"If you really want to know, ask him why your sex life isn't as good as it used to be, he might just tell you," Angela nodded and looked back at Bella.
"What about you? Boyfriend troubles?" I asked her, Angela laughed.
"No she doesn't have one. Hasn't had on in a while have you Bells?" She asked her, I looked towards Bella and noticed that she was blushing again.
"I don't think that's any of their business Angela, or yours for that matter." She said through gritted teeth. I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Well every guy out there is an idiot if they can't even notice you," I told her honestly. She looked at me and her blush got even deeper, I had to say it was very endearing. I wanted to see her blush more and more.
"Erm...thanks...I guess," she mumbled quietly.
They went back to talking amongst themselves, so me and Alec did. While we talked about family things and what we had coming up, and basically what our film schedule will be like for the next God knows how long, as our mom liked it to be as up to date as possible. Doing everything she can to make it better than the Kardashians show.
We had just settled the check and getting ready to leave when I stood up and bumped right into Bella. Her bag was in the middle of it and some how the handle gave way so it snapped. Everything fell on the floor. Without even thinking I kneeled down and started helping her pick everything back up.
"You don't have to do this, I can do it on my own," she said and I could see the blush on her cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, I should have looked before I stood up," I expressed as I handed her, her bag to her. That's when I noticed it was a Louis Vuitton and felt even worse, especially after what she said earlier about not having much money and I go and break her expensive designer bag. Fuck!
"Honestly it's fine, no harm no fowl," she said simply and gave me that small smile again.
"It's not fine," I said while standing up with her cell still in my hand, "I know that those handbags are expensive. I mean I have three sisters, so I should know…here I'll pay for it."
I went to grab my wallet, when she grabbed my hand. I felt a spark go through me. I looked up at her and she must have felt it too ask she quickly let go of my hand and look at it with a frown. But I heard her chuckle.
"Honestly I don't need you to pay for it, it's fine really," She voiced and gave me what she probably thought was an assuring smile.
"But it's a Louis Vuitton, I know how expensive they are. I mean they can cost up to over a thousand dollars," I stated simply.
"It's fine, it's a knock-off that my little sister bought me for Christmas last year. I honestly never use it. I only ever use when I know I'm going to see her and I saw her today, which is why I'm using it, so I don't need you to pay for it," She affirmed, with that absolutely beautiful voice.
It was like bells. Ironic I know, considering her name.
"Well seen as you won't let me pay for it…I'll just have to take you to dinner," I reasoned while giving her my signature smile again, and I swear her breath hitched. "I'll take your number and I'll call you when I want to take you out for dinner," I said while taking her number from her cell phone and putting it into mine.
"But why would you want to go on a date with me? I mean I'm a nobody," she whispered to me and looking confused as hell.
"Exactly, I don't know you and have never met you before in my whole life. Yet for some reason all I want to do is get to know you…so I'll call when I want to take you out for dinner," I told her. I sent her a text so she hand my number, "See now you have my number now so you will know that it's me," I looked towards Alec and he had a smirk on his face, I turned back to Bella, took her hand and kissed her on the knuckles lightly.
"Until we meet again Beautiful," I said against her knuckles before kissing them again gently. Giving her wink we walking back into the gorgeous LA sunshine.
"Smooth Edward. Real smooth. You've probably given that poor girl a heart attack not to mention be a disappointment when you don't actually call," He claimed, while putting his shades on.
I turned to looked at him not believing what he just said.
"Yes I will call her Alec," I told him with the utmost determination, "Did you not see how beautiful that girl was?" I asked.
"Yeah, she was a stunner but that doesn't mean that your gonna call her though does it?" He asked, rhetorically, just as he got to his car, "Anyway brother, I've gotta go meet dad so I'll see you whenever."
He climbed into his Audi R8 and sped off, before I could reply.
I'll prove you wrong Alec trust me.
A/N: okay so I'm going over these chapters to get rid of all the spelling mistakes.
It still won't be perfect but it will be better hopefully.
Please review they make me smile.
