"Edward, Emmett, Jasper Hurry up and get ready the family will be here soon!" I heard my mom yell from down stairs, she made every Sunday seem like a holiday just because the Family would come over for dinner but this Sunday she was even more on top of us about being ready, and making sure the house was extra clean, even though it was always immaculate because Paul is bring over a new girlfriend. Paul is the same age as me were 21. I'm older than him by four month. My mom, my aunt and Uncle were excited to meet this new girl but me and my brothers knew it wouldn't last long. Paul was a jerk to girls, not only did he cheat like crazy on them, he treated them with little respect. It always ends the same way, Paul pushes them over the edge and he gets dumber by the girl, and sometimes beat up by her family, or he finds a new love of his life and leaves the girl. It's always the same story with that guy. At least I was honest with the girls I talked to, they all knew about each other, I was honest about what I was doing and I always treated them all with respect. If they didn't like it they could hit the road, either way I wasn't missing out on anything, I didn't hide anything and I still got what I wanted at the end of the day. I think Paul liked arguing and the drama, I mean he says he doesn't but he is the one that creates it.
Jasper and Edward were in the family room playing the x box when I came down stairs, I was the oldest and always the last to get ready, Appearances say a lot about a person, A good appearances says. 'Hey I respect myself, I take care of myself and I care about what you think of me' I say I don't care what people think about I honestly do, I don't want people to think im a bum loser who doesn't think enough of myself to clean myself up. I like attention but in a positive way. Mainly I love female attention and if you look good you get a lot of female attention.
"When is Paul and the girl getting here?" I asked taking a seat already bored and texting on my phone. Sundays where always the same thing, We eat, my uncle Sam lectures us, My mom talks with my aunts about the week, Us guys play a game of football or basketball, they go home and I thank god the night is over. Nothing interesting ever happens at Sunday dinners, its like Sunday's are rerun nights in our lives, the same old boring ass nights every week.
"Jared texted me and Said him and Paul went to pick up Bella and that uncle S and Aunt E are on their way." Edward said not looking away from the game. Edward was two years younger than me, He is 21 but acts like a 40 year old man most of the time.
"You guys better not embarrass Paul in front of his girl friend; your Aunt Emily said he is taking her a lot more serious than the others." My mom said coming in pushing my feet of the couch and straitening the magazines.
"Ma, Paul say's that about every new girlfriend. When are you going to see that?" My brother Jaspersaid trying to hold in his laugh. Jasper is the youngest out of us, he just turned 18 a few months ago, He has a temper like the rest of us but he is more in control of it. Jasper is considered the nice guy out of the family. He could have any girl he wants but he is stuck on Alice 'The Love of his life' as he calls her. I mean he is obsessed with this girl, he has been with her for two years now and they already act married. She has a tighter leash on him then most people do on their dogs. When the front door opened every one watched with anticipation for Paul's girlfriend but looked away when only my Aunt and Uncle walked in.
"What No love for your Uncle and Aunt?" Sam said walking in the living room like he was king Tut or something.
"What up Unc?" I said throwing the piece sign up.
"Get your lazy asses up and give me a hug!" Sam said in an Alpha dog tone that I hated. Edward and Jasper got up hugged him then went to say hi to my aunt. I finished my text before getting up to hug him. He roughly patted my back. "See that wasn't hard, was it?" I laughed playfully punching hm.
"Your such a homo sometimes." I said blocking a playful slap from him. We started to play fight when the front door opened again. Jared walked in on his phone and Paul walked in holding hands with who could have easily been the most heavenly, gorgeous young woman I have ever seen. I mean I was in disbelief with this girl's beauty, I swear she had a warm glow that flowed around her like an angle of some sort. I looked over at Edward who was in as much shook as I was. She had long dark brown silky hair that flowed with her body movements, her eyes were a light caramel brown that seemed to sparkle with the way the light was hitting her. Her Juicy lips glistened as her smile brightened the room and then there was her body, dear god what I would do to that body; talk about a master piece of perfection. Paul walked in with her with a proud smile as he saw the reaction of the family.
"Everyone this is Isabella." He said putting an arm around her neck. "Baby this is my Dad, You can call him Sam, And my Mom Emily. Then this is my Aunt Esme, and my three Cousin's Edward, Jasper and these num nuts over here is Emmett." I slightly shook my head at the sound of my name braking my stare and swallowing the pool of drool that pooled in my mouth.
"Hello Isabella." I said as everyone greeted her. Edward and I both raised an eyebrow at each other then laughed, we both where thinking the same thing. Paul better keep a close eye on her, he was going to have to beat the guys off with a bat or something. We went up stairs to Edward's room after Isabella was introduced and greeted by everyone while we waited for the rest of the family to show up. Isabella was the only girl but she didn't look uncomfortable, she was actually playing madden 08 with the guys and wasn't too bad at it. It was either that or the guys where going easy on her but I doubt that because Jared yelled out in frustration when she intercepted a pass from him. Paul was acting a little strange but I think it was because we all kept checking her out, like I said she was a true beauty/
After our girl cousin's came they took Isabella down stairs to 'Talk' who knows about what. All I know is I felt bad for Isabella my cousin are gossip queens and are going to ask every single question known to mankind about their relationship. Then after they get all the details the theaters will sweetly pour out.
'So what do you guys think?" Paul asked putting the game on pause looking around at us guys.
"Does she have a sister?" Jasper said licking his lips. We all laughed because he was the last one we all would have thought to be drooling over another girl since he was so in love.
"Nope but she has three brothers." Paul said laughing, waiting to hear everyone else response.
"That explains her gaming skills." Jared said still a bit frustrated.
"Where'd you meet her at?" I asked looking for my calculus book. Paul started giving the story of when they meet but I wasn't really interested I had some homework I needed to do and I thought I had my book in Edwards room, he was a fucking math whiz and was helping me with some problems the other day. I looked up when I heard and brash female voice.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me; I don't even have my car right now!" Isabella snapped on her phone looking at Paul. He watched her with narrowed eyes trying to pick up what was going on. "Carmine I'll kill her, don't test me look what happened to Stacey." She said in the same tone. Paul put the controller down moving over to where she stood. She rolled her eyes, and then gave Paul a sorry look. "Fine, Fine, I'll call you back." We all looked wanting to hear the drama of the phone call, it's not like we had anything better to do.
"What's up?" Paul asked taking a seat and pulling her to his lap. She looked at him thinking for a minute before she answered.
"My brother needs me to go pick him up, can you take me to get him or at least drop me off to get my car, I'll come right back." She asked in an innocent tone wrapping her arms around his neck. Paul shook his head no, and tried to kiss her. "What do you mean no?" She asked getting up from his lap.
" Were here with my family it would be rude to leave, he got himself in whatever mess it is he can wait a couple hours for you to get him out of it." Paul said moving over to the game turning his back on her.
"You're not being serious." Isabella said in a decisive tone glaring at Paul.
"I'm not taking you right now; I'll take you after Dinner." Paul said in a careless tone taking his seat in front of the game. I smirked looking over at the guys as we all watched amused, this was typical Paul.
"This is why I wanted to take my car, I hate when you pull shit like this Paul." She said fighting to keep her tone down, We all watched in silence as Paul ignored his bombshell girlfriend. This part was not somrthing we saw with him every day, Isabella was taking control of the situation instead of submitting to him."You're so naïve, you must be forgetting just who the hell you're dealing with, I'm not one of your simple minded sluts, and shit like this is why I haven't let you hit it yet." Isabella said glaring over at my cousin as he looked back at her dumbfounded. None of us have ever heard a girl talk like that to him, to actual stick up for herself. We all wanted to laugh but knew we couldn't out of respect.
"Don't talk to me like that in front of my family." Paul said with a shook expression, he has obviously never been stood up to by a girl before.
"Don't undermine me in front of them." She replayed walking over to get her purse then walked out of the room not even looking back at Paul. Paul ran after her a second later, of course we all watched over the stair railing.
"Where are you going?" Paul said running down the stairs moving around her stopping her on the last steep.
"To get my car so I can pick up my brother." She talked to him like he was stupid for asking.
"You're not taking my car." He said with a stiff laugh, as the rest of the family all looked over to see what was going on.
"I have two feet and I'm my own damn person I don't need anything from you, you have no right to tell me I can't leave and take care of my family, I'm sorry but you're out of line right now my house Is only 15minutes from here and my family comes first, if it was your brother who called you needing a ride your ass would have been gone." She said sharply moving around him to walk to the door.
"Why are you being snotty?" Paul snapped getting embarrassed that everyone was watching.
"Because your being a Jerk. And don't you dare say I'm embarrassing you your embarrassing yourself, now move out of my way." She was one ambitious girl that was for sure.
"What's going on?" My aunt Emily walked in next to Paul. He glared at Isabella for a moment then looked at his mother.
"Isabella brother needs a ride but I told her it would be rude to leave before dinner." He said in an apologetic tone.
"Paul don't be so stupid, If Jared called you I would expect you to go get him, you can go and come right back it's not a big deal" She said siding with Isabella. Paul looked at his mother confused then back to Isabella as she begain to speak.
"With all due respect Emily, Paul has shown a side to himself tonight that I don't find attractive at all, I'd rather walk, my house isn't too far from here, Maybe Paul should think about what a Jerk move he just pulled and maybe I'll come back." She said with a warm smile to my aunt as she spoke in an innocent tone. My aunt didn't know how to replay but she moved aside to let Isabella throw. Isabella stopped and turned in front of Paul.
"Babe you have a lot to learn about me, I'm not a push over, I am independent and if we are going to work you need to understand I'm not a weak minded little girl, you will treat me with respect and as a partner not like some sort of toy." She kissed his cheek before walking out. My mouth dropped open in amusement; I bet he felt like the biggest ass right now. The door shut and me and all the guys started to crack up laughing at my dumbass cousin. Her attitude was such a fucking turn on, I can't believe she actually walked out on him like that. God she was going to be fun having around.
"Well I only have one thing to say about her." Everyone looked over at my Uncle Sam, half of us amused and the other half bewildered. "I like her! She is that kick in the ass that you need Paul, You better swallow you pride and work on not losing her." Paul walked out of the house pissed off with the family as we all laughed at his expense. I was still laughing to myself when I went to the kitchen to look for my damn book.
"That girl has some back bone on her." My mom said amused to my aunt and my girl cousin's. I remembered I had my book at work I might have left it there.
"Ma I think I left my book at work and I have some homework I need to do, I am go and see if I left it ok?" I said already with my keys in my hand.
"Yeah son that's fine dinner won't be ready for another 30 minutes." I kissed her cheek and started to walk out.
"Emmett!" My aunt called coming after me.
"Yea?" I asked in a hurry, they close early on Sundays. I had about 15 minutes to get there.
"If you see Isabella can you give her a ride, it's sort of cold outside." She said giving me a pleading look.
"Yeah if I see her I will." I said not really wanting to pick her up, she wanted to walk, why should it be my problem, but just because my aunt asked I would do it. I was maybe half way down the road when I saw her, I sighed frustrated but pulled over.
"Hey need a ride?" I asked but she didn't look back she just kept walking. "Isabella?" I called confused getting out of the car. She slowly turned around to look at me.
"I'm fine, really." She said looking back at the car.
"My dumbass cousin is at home, I have to pick up a book from work, come on don't be stubborn a girl like you shouldn't be walking out here alone." I said moving closer to her, hoping she would just get in the damn car. She raised an eyebrow at me.
"A girl like me?" She asked trying not to look amused.
"Yeah a beautiful unarmed girl like yourself." I laughed going over and opening the car door for her. She gave n and walked over getting in the car.
"Listen I have like ten minutes to get this book can you go with me and then we can pick your brother up and I'll drop you off at your house?" I asked getting antsy. She nodded her head yes and I speed off down the road.
"Your family probably thinks I'm the biggest bitch huh?" She asked looking over at me with a dazzling crocked smile.
"Actually no, they like you. Paul needs someone to let him know he isn't god." I said being honest with her.
"I like your cousin I really do but I hate how he thinks he can talk to me like an idiot, I'm a psychology major and I graduated with a 3.6 GPA, I'm anything but stupid." She said looking down at her phone shaking her head.
"Yeah I think you're the first girl to ever stand up to him like that, the look on his face was Priceless." I said starting to laugh again. I seen her smirk from the corner of my eye. Her phone rang again and she answered it.
"Hey I'm sort of busy what's up?" I looked over mentally thinking Paul was lucky I loved him or I would have to steal her for a night. "No I'm with his cousin Emmett picking Carmine up" She giggled and looked over at me. "Yeah actually he is really cute." I smiled when I realized she was talking about me. "Yeah will see, I'll talk to you tomorrow." She hung up laughing, "Sorry that was my friend my friend Rosalie, she is always looking for her future ex boyfriend." She laughed as we pulled up to the restaurant I bartend at.
"Shit me too, I'll be right back." I said jumping out of the car and running inside as they where closing, luckily my book was there. When I got back in the car she was laughing really hard on her phone. I laughed because even her damn laugh was impeccable, I have never meet someone so perfect like her, it was almost too good to be true.
"Carmine shut up, your such a dumbass!" She laughed harder into the phone looking over at me with tears threating to fall from laughing so hard. I waited for her to give me directions from here. "I'll see you in a few minutes." She hung up flipping my mirror down making sure her makeup wasn't ruined. "Do you know where Market St is?" She asked looking over at me trying to contain her laughter. I nodded and started to drive to our next destination. I was thinking of things to talk to her about so it wasn't so quite. I really just wanted to hear her talk. She had a slight Jersey accent, she had an interesting point of view from what I have seen so far. I was curious to know what she thought on other matters. Most of the girls we brought around were as she put it, simple minded. It was refreshing to see a woman be so strong minded. I could see why Paul would be infatuated with her.
So what did you think of my Bella? Hard ass huh?
