BPOV

I parked in the driveway of my new house, in a new town, a new state. "Here we go.." I bit my lip and cut the engine, staring at the beautiful house. Roses had inhabited themselves besides the door and crawled up the exterior walls along with green moss.
I glanced at my cell phone as my ringtone "Decode" vibrated out of the device. 'Alice Brandon'. Ah, my best friend. I smiled to myself but pressed 'Ignore Call' for now. I loved her so very much but reeally didn't need Alice and her pixie-induced excitement that held over her 24/7. I just needed to relax at the moment. And relaxation was so not in Alice's choice of vocabulary.
I grabbed my trusty Gucci bag, keys in hand and clip-clopped in my kitten heels towards my wooden oak door. Turning the key in the lock, I slided it open and stepped into my new home. Damn. It was gorgeous! I grinned to myself as I plonked my bag down on my leather couch in the living room and dropped the keys on the glass table next to it. I LOVED my new house.
I flounced down on the couch and closed my eyes, only to be disturbed a matter of minutes later by a knocking at my front door. With a groan, I finally picked up the courage to leave my beautifully comfy leather couch, to answer the door. And who to greet me but Alice? Smirking, I raised my eyebrows at her as she stormed into my recent home, obviously not a happy little pixie. Jeez, what happened to Jasper keeping her happy at night? Ooof. "Isabella Marie Cullen! And you've been ignoring my calls all day because?" Alice sighed and rested her glare on me. I couldn't help but giggle at her mood, earning myself a death stare.
Damn, if looks could kill, I'd be a pile of ashes right now.
"Alice, I just got in about two seconds before you rang and I was busy unpacking so I didn't notice your call. I'm sorry." I smiled innocently and hoped my sweet lie would pass her. But, of course... It didn't. "Bella. I am soo not stupid," she smiled and went on. "None of your bags are in, packed or not and the chocolate box I gave you as a gift is open. Plus, the leather couch has a noticeable dent in it.
You have been in this house longer than just a mere couple of seconds." Damn. Damn her and her innovative skills. How the hell did she notice so much? And why was she a fashion designer - a good one at that - but she really was meant for the detective area of work the way she looked past my lies whenever I told her one. I don't know why I didn't just give up,
to be honest.
"Uh, Alice? I really needed to relax and, um, let's just say you're not-" I stopped short as I creeped a look at the state of Alice and man, she looked pissed. All I did was miss one phonecall. Well,
maybe a few, but hey. Alice glared at me again and whispered, "I'm not what, Bella?" Oh shit. I REALLY need to just keep my mouth shut. Maybe I would be better off that way, maybe then I would actually get somewhere in life. Oh well.
Making an attempt to save my ass, I changed the subject. "Uh, anyway. How's your latest project going? Was it Tanya Denali you're making a dress for? Her wedding dress or something like that?"
I smiled hopefully, wishing she would go with the flow and pick up on the change of conversation.
Thankfully, it seemed that God was on my side this afternoon. "Tanya! Piece of work, that girl is!"
Alice rolled her eyes with a smile at me and huffed. "So fucking demanding, that woman! Ugh! I honestly don't know why I put up with her. But then again, I've spent too much fucking time to dump that gorgeous dress! Red with violet and white trimmings, it is. Best work ever if I do say so myself!" I grinned widely. It seemed my plan had worked. Thank God!
Willing her to go on, I pressed my lips together into a hard line as to stop myself from saying anything. I should so do this more often! Of course, though, it didn't last long and we were, of course, interrupted by the doorbell. And I was doing SO well!
Apparently, that an invitation, Alice plonked herself down on MY leather couch and began eating MY chocolates! In MY house! God. I thought pixies were meant to be helful. Huffing and puffing about ungrateful little pixies, I made my way to the door and squealed as I caught sight of who answered.
"Rose!" I grabbed my blonde best friend and hugged her so tight I swear we were both going to collapse. I grinned at Rose's tinkling giggle filled her ear. "What are you doing here, Mrs. Black?
I thought you were in Africa with some elephants and your hubby?" I winked and laughed as Rose blushed at the mention of her recent husband. "Jake, he-he's in the car. Um, we came back about late Sunday night and I think we need some help, Bells." Rosalie Black's smile twitched sheepishly as her husband came up behind her.
As usual, Jake was tanned, muscular and grinning his toothy grin at Bella. Ah, they'd been so close as kids and although Rose and Jake hadn't gotten along at first, they seemed to fit well together, finally getting married in the falls and travelling to Africa a matter of months later, to help some endangered elephants. "Bella." Jake smirked and nodded at me with a glint in his eye. I smirked back and giggled in return. "What's the problem, Jake?" I asked, curious. Surely they didn't fly all the way from Africa early so I could help them? But with what? Ugh, I hated waiting for answers off people. Why, oh why, do they take so long to talk? It's like they know you hate the suspense and tension as though it's a goofy TV programme.
Rosalie smiled apologetically at her husband's lack of speech and rush of redness to his tanned cheeks. "It's Edward, Jake's cousin. I kinda told Jake about your past 'profession' and he wanted-
well, he was hoping- you could fix Edward." At first, I had no idea what profession she was on about, but then it hit me, hard. Yep. Edward was a womanizer. Well, a cheeky little sod who thought he was God's gift to men in short. Y'see, I-amoungst a few others in the company- were dewomanizers. I smiled to myself. We are often assigned to a case, a womanizer, usually by the family or friend, and we pretend to have a relationship with them, creating boundaries and rules. By the end of the 'experiment', the alleged womanizer is guaranteed to not be a womanizer and/or seen the error of his ways. It's quite simple really and gives you good pay. However, I hadn't been in the game for a while. Not since Mike. Poor Mike. He was one I couldn't fix and he ended up taking his own life when I ended our 'relationship' and told him the truth about who I was. That was the reason I gave it up. I didn't want anymore men and their families to go through that ever again. I sighed, and chewed on my lip, looking at Rose and Jake. Did I really want to do this?
"Rose, I dunno.. After what happened with Mike, I'm just not sure about this..arrangement. Why don't you come in and we can, uh, talk about it?" With a smile, I stepped to the side, letting them in. We turned and walked into the kitchen, sitting at the glass table. As soon as my ass cheeks touched that seat, I gasped as a tear escaped Jake's eye and he began to talk in small whispers.
"Bella, I really need your help. Edward-he, well he just never knows when to stop! God! When we were both youngers, early twenties, whenever we got laid or whatever, we'd boast, make it into a competition or whatever. Y'know? But when I met Rose, I just kinda packed it in. I never boast to him about how great Rose is, in the bedroom and out. And damn, she's fantastic!"
Me and Jake chuckled as Rose blushed deep red. "Anyway, Edward has ruined our family. My aunt Renee, she could barely go to work without glares from the mothers that Edward had she had to switch departments, where she is ok, but not happy. And uncle Charlie had to becut off from his lifetime friend Billy, my dad, just because Edward had fucked my sisters. Damn,I hated him when I found out about Rebecca. The family tearing apart because he can't keep his cock in his pants!" Jake exclaimed and embarrassed, looked down silently, waiting for my wrapped an arm around him in an attempt to comfort him. He looked up at me with his big brown eyes and I smiled gently. I had no other choice. "Jake," I whispered and giggled as he looked back at me with immense hope in his eyes. "I'll help you. But I won't accept any money. This is a favour and an exception, okay?" I smiled and squeezed Jake's hand, and laughed as his face shot into a grin.
"Thank you!" I squeaked in alarm as Jake squeezed me so tight in a giant bear hug, I wasn't so sure I would be alive for this case. Thankfully he let me go and ran through the arrangements.
I was to work at Edward Masen's firm as his assistant. Therefore I was someone that was unavailable, or so it should seem. I also got another revelation as I was talking with Alice after Rose and Jake had left.
"Ooh! I noticed there's a veery hot neighbour next door who has a hott brother! Edward and Jasper Masen!" Alice giggled and popped another chocolate into her mouth as she switched the channel to Oprah. Meanwhile, I nearly choked on mine.
"E-edward Masen?" I choked out. He couldn't be my neighbour, could he?
Alice smiled and she wiggled her butt on the couch in an effort to get comfortable. "Uh, yeah!"
She giggled and let her focus be attented be Oprah giving advice to an overweight mom about losing weight.
Edward fucking Masen. Was my next-door neighbour. I ran outside and sure enough there stood Edward Masen in the flesh, working on his car. With a wink and a chuckle, he smiled at me and I rushed back in, slamming the door. This should make it easier...or bring more conlict!
Fuck. Me.
