Chapter One: Another Lonely Night & A New Hand
Bellas POV:
I woke up in bed alone once again, which hasn't been strange for a month now, I told myself that he was just working late and probably stayed at the office as I walked into the bathroom getting ready for my day at the ranch. After a quick shower and throwing on some jeans and a flannel shirt I walked downstairs to make myself a quick bite to eat and something for a ranch hands Jacob, Paul, Sam, and Embry. I was lucky that my friends from high school had agreed to help out when I found out that my grandparents had left the ranch to me, My husband Edward wasn't as happy as they were surprisingly, I figured he would be happy it would give us more time to spend together and he wouldn't have to work but he took a job at a modeling agency in town instead.
I cooked some eggs bacon and toast, before I opened the door and whistled hearing the guys open the door to the bunks the sun was just starting to rise as they all piled into the kitchen, Their plates were already made as I sat and ate some toast and eggs not really feeling up to a huge breakfast and I know my boys would finish every last bite. I opened the paper quickly running over the weather and seeing what today was going to be like to see if maybe I should refrain my ride with my gorgeous boy Ace. When I saw that it was going to be a sunny day in Wyoming I smiled before noticing that the boys were looking threw my fridge.
"Oh hell no, I just cooked yall breakfast now its time to get to work." I said trying to hold back my laughter and sounding like a tough boss. But Jacob could see right threw it. "Oh come on bells were still starving please?" He gave me those adorable puppy dog eyes that I knew were going to be one girls downfall one day but not mine. "Nope, we need to get to work." I stood up and shooed them out the door before placing the dishes in the sink that I would get to later before following them outside as the sun was almost up. Paul and Embry went to turn out the cattle into the pasture so they could munch on there breakfast that I had already placed in their bins the night before as Jacob, Sam and I went to feed the horses. I decided I was going to get the stallion stable this morning since I really needed to see my best boy as I turned to walk away I heard a strange truck pull into the driveway.
Jacob had already seen it and walked over towards the stallion stable as I approached the truck. I gasped slightly as someone stepped out and he looked like Hercules had just fallen from Olympus. 'Bella what are you even thinking woman your married so cool your jets right now.' I took a breath and walked over to him looking around the property until his eyes fell on me.
'God those eyes I could stare into those eyes as he…'
'Bella stop it right now, remember your fucking married you idiot.'
'Yeah but It doesn't hurt to day dream'
'Okay now stop talking to yourself your making yourself seem like a crazy lady'
I quickly finished the walk over to his truck before extending my hand.
Emmett's POV:
I sighed pulling into the gorgeous ranch that luckily my friend jasper had gotten me a job at, Apparently his girlfriend Alice worked with her brother who owned this place and I just figured that it was some rich boys pass time when he wasn't busy with all the nice things life had to offer him. I huffed as I got out of my truck looking around for the woman I was suppose to meet here before my eyes fell on the most amazing goddess I had ever seen. She stopped in her tracks looking like someone had just knocked the wind out of her as I raised an eyebrow and just stood there for a few seconds before she walked over to me and extended a hand and I took it in mine, trying not to grip to hard but not to soft.
"Hello, I'm Bella swan, And you are?" I looked at her kind of confused, did she work here, how did she not know I was coming. I raised my eyebrow at her. "Emmett McCarty, Your boss Edward Cullen sent me here for an interview and a job." "My boss? Are you fucking kidding me?" Her expression looked priceless and pissed. "I don't know who you talked to but Edward is not my boss, He's my husband and this ranch is owned by me. Hence the title Swan Ranching." I looked stunned, Her husband then why did she introduce herself as Swan.
'This isn't the 50's Emmett sometimes women don't take there husbands last names.'
'Well duh but Jasper said it was Edwards ranch'
'Yeah well she introduces herself as Swan and you see the sign how stupid can you be'
'Oh shut up.'
Bella's POV:
'EDWARD IS A DEAD MAN, telling people its his ranch I cant believe him, And why is he hiring people without even talking to me I'm going to kill him when he gets home.'
'Yeah if he comes home tonight Bella.'
'He's my husband of course he's going to come home tonight.'
I was broke out of my trance by the phone ringing inside. "Would you please excuse me for one second and then we can do an interview." I stormed into the house and answer the phone with a very angry tone in my voice, to hear his voice on the other line.
"Hey baby"
"Don't you dare baby me, who is this Emmett and why does he think that this is YOUR ranch?"
"Babe chill, I figured you could use some help and Alice said that jasper knew someone I guess jasper just assumed it was my ranch, please don't yell at me baby just calm down and give the man an interview, And I'm sorry for not making it home last night but things came up."
"Yeah okay, but please don't send anyone else here without my knowing Edward." I could hear giggling in the background and I wondered what it was but just shook it off.
"Alright babe I gotta let you go and get back to work."
"Okay, I love you."
"Yeah me too." Click.
I sighed before motioning for Emmett to come inside, he followed and I lead him into the office. Before putting on my glasses and taking a seat. He sat in front of me as I pulled up my email seeing one from Alice titled 'Emmett McCarty' I clicked on it and there was his resume. I opened it as I pointed to a small refrigerator, he shook his head no as I quickly read over the email before closing my laptop. "Alright so it says here that you worked at a ranch before, Why did you quit?" I looked at him over the brim of my glasses. "Well, they told me I could stay as long as I wanted but it wasn't a good vibe for me, it seemed that the people only cared about money and not the things that mattered, and they had plenty of stable hands so I gave my two weeks notice and to be honest this job was kind of a god send because most of the ranches already have the people they need for everything."
I looked a bit curious at the things that mattered remark but I decided against asking, I knew the ranch owners because I had went to school with their daughter Jessica and I knew what he meant by only caring about money. I just nodded, and smiled lightly. "Well I might want to warn you that the pay isn't that great and my ranch hands don't take kindly to new people. We're all kind of a close knit family here but I'm going to give you a test run today and see how you work." He nodded and smiled at me, I quickly looked at his outfit which consisted of a white shirt, blue jeans and some cowboy boots. "Well I hope you don't mind but your shirt is going to get dirty." He shrugged and smiled again. "I don't mind at all ma'am." I giggled slightly at that. "Please just call me Bella. Now lets get to work." I walked out of the door as he followed quickly before whistling so I could introduce him to my boys.
