Okay, so I got the idea for this story today and since I'm currently at work until 5am and I've already done all I need to do, I decided to whip this chapter out for you! I will probably try to update this chapter every week, but I'm kind of excited about this story, I really like the plot line I have forming in my head, so updates may come faster at first. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, that privilege goes to Stephanie.
"Hey boss, there's a Bella Swan here for an interview."
Fuck. I forgot about that interview and here I was, shoulder deep in a heifer's vaginal cavity. I looked at Seth, the young farm hand, while I continued to fiddle my hand around with the insemination wand, trying to find that sweet spot.
"Okay, uh, show her to the office and have her take a seat, ask her if she needs anything. Let her know I'll be just a few more minutes." Seth nodded and turned on his heel to walk away, his boots dragging against the concrete aisle way of the barn.
After a few more moments of fiddling around I found the sweet spot and inserted the sperm. I slowly pulled my plastic sleeve covered arm that had a lovely combination of shit, lube, and cow vag juices. I slapped the heifer on the butt a couple of times and nodded to Leah, Seth's older sister and one of my other farm hands, to take her back out to the pasture where the other hopeful expecting mothers were.
I peeled the sleeve off of my arm and washed my hands. I grabbed my torn up ball cap from the hook and placed it on my head. As I made my way to the office I admired my barn. It was one of my many pride and joys.
Twilight Dairy Farm was my life and blood. I had inherited the farm from my grandfather when he passed away. My other two siblings hadn't expressed the desire to work with cows as I had. I spent as much time possible out here helping gramps out with cows as I could, and I was determined to continue the legacy.
Since grandpa had died, I had a new barn resurrected in his honor. The stalls and pens were spectacular; the milking room was glorious. There was temperature controlled rooms for feed storage, a room for veterinary needs, a break room for workers. Even an office with a lobby. The barn had an AC system to keep the cows cool in the summer, and a heating system to keep them warm in the winter.
I walked up to the door to my office, seeing the back of Bella's head. Which really, all I could she was long chestnut hair and some her shoulders and arms. I took a deep breath before opening up the door. Ms. Swan stood up from her spot in the chair and turned around to greet me.
To say she was beautiful was an understatement. The woman before me was absolutely gorgeous. Her eyes were round, and a captivating chocolate brown. Her nose was tiny and cute, fitting her face perfectly. Her lips were full but not too full and they formed the perfect pout, before blossoming into the most breath taking smile. Her hair framed her face perfectly. She was tiny, much shorter than me, but still a few inches taller than my younger sister Alice. She was curvy in all the right places, and she was sickly thin, rather, she looked like she more of an athletic body if anything.
Unfortunately, after my divorce, I made a strict no dating policy of employees and coworkers that only I really followed. Of course, this would be much harder to follow since the position she was interviewing for was a live-in position.
I looked back into her eyes and noticed a slight sadness in them, masked by her smile.
"Ms. Swan, it's lovely to meet you. Edward Cullen. If you'll have a seat, we can go ahead and get started." I shook her hand, returning her smile with one of my own.
"Great to meet you Mr. Cullen, thank you for opportunity to interview. Please, call me Bella." Her voice was sweet, and matched her perfectly.
I sat in my chair, folding my hands on the desk in front of me, watching Bella take her seat in the chair. "Well then, I must insist you call me Edward, Mr. Cullen is my father." I flashed another smile at her and I watched a slight blush add to her complexion. I would have to make sure I made her blush more often it was quite adorable.
Stop it Cullen, we don't want a replay of Jane do we? My brain, always the rational one, had to kick in and bring me back to my senses.
"So, your position will be office secretary and farm manager, it is a live in positon. Your duties will be scheduling vet visits and meetings, taking calls, overseeing the books, stocking up on all supplies, and other general farm duties that will need to be done. Your pay will be 700 a week along with benefits. How much experience in farming and office management do you have?" Even if she had no experience in farming or office management, I was still going to hire her.
"I grew up helping my uncle on his farm and I spent two years as an office manager for a vet's office. I'm good with my hands, I keep immaculate records, and I know how to handle people. I have no problem getting down and dirty, even if it is at the business end of the cow." She had spunk, she knew what she was capable of.
"And you are aware that this will be a live-in position correct?"
"Correct. I just moved into town and this was a great opportunity for me to find somewhere to stay." Ah, so she was new in town. I wondered why I hadn't seen her before. Forks was a small town and everyone knew everyone.
"Well, I think you'll be a good fit for the position. What do you say? Will you take it?"
Please say yes.
"Yes." I smiled and stood up, Bella following suit.
I reached out to shake her hand once again, "Welcome to the Twilight family Bella. Let me show you where you'll be living, introduce you to the rest of family and then we can get started on moving you in." I walked around the desk and over to the door, holding it open for her. Bella lifted her purse up, sliding her arm through the straps, letting them rest on her shoulder.
She was dressed appropriately for the weather in Forks, telling me she must be from Washington. She had on a think flannel shirt with an insulated vest on over it. She had a pair of Levi's on that were tucked into a pair of insulated muck boots, and on her head was a ball cap that was almost as torn up and overused as mine.
I led her out of the office and towards the log cabin that I called home. My grandparents had built only a few years ago, not long before they passed away. The outside was gorgeous, the wood was stained to make the wood just a little bit more of a tan color, accentuating some of the darker spots in the wood. The porch on the front stretched from one end of the front of the house to the other end.
I opened the door, letting Bella walk in first.
My mother had decorated the home in modern rustic style and it felt very comfy and homely. Bella followed me into the living and I heard her gasp in awe. The living room was large and very open. The upstairs was a catwalk, so guests could look over the banister down into the living. On the wall under the upstairs hallway was a large fireplace with the TV mounted overtop of it and two mounted buck heads on either side. The couch and two recliners sat facing the TV. One wall was full of windows, making it easy for us to look out at the pastures.
Next stop was the kitchen. It was a chef's dream, with the best stove, oven, fridge and every cooking gadget you could buy. My grandmother used it often when she was alive, I was not much of cook, therefore my diet consisted of frozen meals and takeout.
"Oh my, I will be putting this kitchen to use." Bella's voice floated through the air and I smiled. She stepped around the island, running her hands along the granite countertop.
"Well, I'm glad more than the microwave will get used." I chuckled, watched her take in the kitchen. "Are you ready to see your room?" She turned her head to me and nodded, although I could tell she was clearly still in awe of the kitchen.
We made our ascent up the stair case, Bella following a step or two behind me. "This is my room," I stated pointing towards the closed door, "If you ever need anything and I'm in there just knock. If it's an emergency just bust on in." I looked back at her and she gave a quick nod before looking over the railing down into the living room.
"This is your room," I said, stopping at the door at the end of the hallway, I twisted the knob and opened the door. Bella's room was just as big as mine, a second master suite meant for a live-in farm manager. She had her own full bathroom, equipped with a Jacuzzi tub and large walk in shower. She had her own king sized poster bed and walk in closet. A TV hung on the wall opposite her bed. "As you can tell the room is quite plain, however, I have no problem with you making it your own. Just let me know what you want and we will get it." I leaned against the door frame, watching as Bella explored her new room.
She set her purse down on the bed before jumping on the bed herself. I listened as she moaned out in relief, but maybe a little dash of pleasure. "This bed feels like a cloud." She mumbled into the pillow.
I chuckled, my eyes never leaving her form.
You did this to yourself Cullen. Just don't get yourself hurt again.
I shook my head, trying to break myself out of my own thoughts. "Well, Bella, now that you've seen the important aspects of the house are you ready to go meet the other workers?" I asked, watching as she pulled herself up off her stomach and then off the bed.
"Yes, most definitely." Despite her confident and ready demeanor, I could still tell there was some sadness, she was hiding something.
I smiled at her, pushing myself off the door frame, gesturing for her to go in front of me. Bella smiled, leaving her purse on the bed as we walked down the stairs and back out to the barn.
"The only ones here today are Seth and Leah; you'll meet the others the first day they work." We stepped into the barn, as we made our way through I pointed out everything she needed know the location of and its purpose.
We popped up on Seth and Leah mucking the stalls and pens. I pulled the can of chew from my back pocket and began to pack it, "Seth, Leah, I would like you to meet Bella, she'll be our new farm manager." I nodded my head in Bella's direction as I grabbed a pinch and tucked it into my bottom lip.
"Nice to meet ya Bella! I'm Seth, this is my sister Leah! If you need anything find one of us and we'll help you out." Seth grinned and shook Bella's hand, as did Leah, but no words came out of her mouth.
We chatted with Seth for a few minutes, Leah staying quiet, before Bella and I walked away to get started on moving her things into the house.
"I don't think Leah quite likes me." Bella's words were quiet and meek.
"No, no, she's just quiet, Seth was always the more outgoing of the two." I said, hoping to reassure her.
Bella nodded before making her way over to piece of faded red junk in the shape of an old Chevy truck. If this was her car, I would definitely be working to get her a more reliable one.
"Bella, how did you make it here in this thing? It's a dinosaur!" I wanted to slap the side of the truck but I was afraid it would crumble into pieces, or maybe even dust. "We're definitely getting you a new car." I hoped she wouldn't think that was too forward.
She chewed on her lip, looking at the truck as I grabbed a couple of the larger boxes from the bed of the truck.
"I've had it for years, but wasn't in the best position to buy a new car, so I guess you're right, it's probably time for a new one. I won't let you pay for it though." She stated, grabbing a couple bags and a small box.
"That's understandable, I at least want to go with you and help you pick one out. How about in the next couple of weeks, so you can save up some money for a down payment, until then I'll loan you one of my cars." I said, backing into the door to open it, standing there with the door open for Bella.
"You don't have to loan me your car Edward, my truck can last a couple more weeks." She placed the bags on the floor in her room and we walked back out to her truck to get the few things that were left.
"If you insist Bella," I said, placing the last of the things on her bedroom floor, "Well, I will leave you to get settled in Bella. Don't worry about working today, just relax, you've had quite the adjustment the past couple of hours. I'll see you later." I smiled at her before making my way downstairs and back out to the barn to check on everything.
I looked at the time on my iPhone. 4:30. Damn, when did it get so late?
Okay, so what do you all think so far? Do you like it? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Let me know!
Until next time,
Ashley
