Chapter 2: EPOV

My men and I were sitting in the warehouse waiting for the shipment of guns to come in, when Emmett started to talk.

"Man have you been to Sandy's Diner? I wanted to try it out but it looked like a bunch of old people where there."

"No but I heard that they do have good food and it's supposed to be cheep, why are you worried about the money anyway it's not like you are going to be broke anytime soon." Jasper asked him.

"I'm not worried about the money, I just want something different for a change, home cooking, Rose doesn't cook and the only time that I have a meal that is, is when we are at moms for Sunday brunch after church."

"We can go after this shipment has been delivered, I could use a good home cooked meal myself." I was thinking about the food when I heard a truck pulling up to the warehouse; I pulled out my gun and cocked it just to be on the safe side. I've had it happen one time where the other family thought they could catch us off guard and take us down, after that I swore it wouldn't happen again.

"Open the back" I told the driver, he got out slowly with his hands in the air. The drivers who knew what they were hauling also knew that the person was packing heat and didn't want to be messed with, normally they weren't a part of the family just a delivery guy in it for the money. Once the guy had the back open and everything was clear we began unloading the truck, with the 6 of us it didn't take long to have it done and the driver was on his way with the money for the delivery.

"I don't know about you goons, but I have worked up more of an appetite, let's go to that diner and get some grub." Emmett was always hungry; I would hate to see the grocery bill for the week with him. We climbed into the car and drive to the diner per Em's request.

"Hello welcome to Sandy's Diner, how many today?" The hostess asked me, she was cute, petite with long black hair and glasses. Not someone I would normally go for, though she didn't even seem like she was interested in me at all.

"Table for 6 please" I told her, she nodded her head and lead us to the back where there was a round table.

"Your waitress will be with you in just a minute." She walked away then; I could tell that she was intimidated by us.

"Hello welcome to Sandy's Diner my name is Bella; can I start you gentleman off with something to drink?"

"Yes we would all like coke please, if you have it in the pitcher that would be fine."

"Sure, I'll be right back with that for you," it took everything I had not to watch her walk away and look at her ass; she was the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life. Long mahogany colored hair, deep brown eyes and curves in all the right places, and her voice was like an angel.

"Here you go, have you decided what you would like to order or do you need a few more minutes yet?"

"No we know what we want; I'll have a mushroom burger with everything on it please." I looked to my right at Jasper when he placed his order Alec was next, then Felix, Sam, and then Emmett. Once the order was placed she walked away again to give the cook the order, I looked at my guys then.

"What?" They were all just starring at me and I couldn't figure out why.

"I think Edward here has a little crush on the waitress, though I do have to say if I wasn't married to Rosie already I would definitely want to tap that, she is one fine looking woman." I was ready to pull out my gun and shoot him, I don't know where this jealousy came from, and I didn't know anything about the girl.

"I have to agree with Em here Edward; I can feel the jealousy coming off of you. Why not ask her out, I mean the worst that could happen is she says no."

"Jasper she doesn't even know who we are, would you go out with a total stranger after only waiting on them the one time?"

"So why not get to know her? I mean you have been single for a while, you're all ready to shoot Em just for saying that she was hot."

"I wouldn't want her to get involved in this life; she seems to sweet and innocent for shit like this. Plus if something started with us they would target her and I can't have that now. The other boss's are just starting to get used to me taking over for dad, if I threw her into this they wouldn't hesitate to use her to bring us down." Just then the kitchen doors opened up and the beauty came back with the hostess to bring out the food.

"Here you go is there anything else I can get for you guys?"

"No, everything looks great; just leave the check please when it's ready." She left the bill and walked away again. When we were done with lunch I left her a $50 tip, I thought that she could use it; I know that waitresses don't make much and tips are a big part of that.

I had called up Corin and told her that I wanted someone to keep an eye on Bella, I didn't know much more about her other then her first name and where she worked. She said it wouldn't be a problem and would let me know if anything came up.

.

We continued to go there almost every day for a month, I wanted to see her. The guys gave me a hard time about it at first, but then they noticed that I was in a better mood when I saw her and knew that she was ok.

I was sitting in my house daydreaming about getting to know her more, what she liked and disliked, everything there was to know. I knew that I could run a background check on her but I wanted to wait and her it from her instead. As I was day dreaming my cell started to ring, it was Corin telling me that someone had broken into Bella's apartment. I wanted to run to her apartment and find out who it was but she told me something that stopped me dead, someone had taken pictures of her. Everything that she had done for the last month and then told her not to go to the cops, Newton was working her case. That could only mean that she was in major trouble, he worked for the Quileute family, they are our biggest enemy and now they are going after her just for waiting on us. I had to do something to protect her, I decided that it was time to place a bodyguard on her but not tell her right now.

"Liam, I need you to keep an eye on someone for me, I want you to watch her every move but not to be seen by her yet. She is being watched by someone I think from the Quileute family, I don't know for sure but Newton is on her case and that is a concern for me."

"Yes boss, not a problem." He left right away and went to the Diner so he could watch her from afar.

I was at the club tonight checking in and making sure that the girls are being treated right and the clients are satisfied. I may be in the mafia but one thing I don't condone is the rough treatment of women and you don't mess with a child. I like to make sure that everyone is treated with respect; by doing that I will keep my workers and not have problems with other families taking them form me. My phone started to ring letting me know that Liam was calling.

"Yes"

"Hey boss, B's at home now, everything seems to be ok here she has her brother with her. Do you want me to stay all night or come back in the morning?"

"You can go home at night that's fine." I hung up the phone only for it to ring again, I was getting a little annoyed that it was ringing so much.

"What!"

"Damn bro what crawled up your ass tonight? I thought you saw your girl today, you're supposed to be in a better mood now."

"Sorry man, I just got off the phone with Liam. I sent him to keep tabs on B and her brother; so far things seem to be going ok. What did you need Em?"

"I need you to come down to the shop; there is someone here who wants to talk to you." I knew that he had found out something with the case on Bella but couldn't say anything on the phone.

"Be right there" I hung up and walked out of the office, only to be stopped by one of the hookers named Amber, she was a nice girl but had no brains.

"Hey Edward, you look at little tense tonight do you want me to make it better for you?" Normally I would say yes and be done with it, but since I have met Bella I don't even have the slightest interest in hookers anymore.

"No, was there something that you needed Amber or were you just walking around with nothing to do?" I knew it was mean but I didn't really care, she did this every time that I was in the club and I have turned her down every time.

"No, I was just passing threw waiting for my next client and thought I would see if you needed me for anything is all."

"Go back to work or go home and don't ask me again if I need your services, if I do I will come to you." I stormed out of the hall and to the warehouse (aka shop) to see who Em had said wanted to talk to me.

When I got there they had no other than Newton himself strapped to a chair. I looked at Jasper and he had a sinister smile on his face, I could tell this was going to be good.

"What do we have here boy's?" I asked them wondering why they had taken Newton.

"Well it seems that our little Quileute friend here has been snooping around your girl for his boss. Wants to know what connection we have to her."

"Why? There really isn't a connection; she waits on us at the Diner other then that she has nothing to do with us." I was looking at Newton for the answer but he wouldn't say anything, I noticed that Jasper was standing next to a table that had some gadgets on it.

"What do you have there on that table? It looks like it could be fun to tryout on our little friend here."

"Oh you know just some cables attached to a battery; I hear that it can really hurt." Jasper said laughing a little; it was scary when he laughed like that. He is normally the quiet type but if you want information out of someone he is the person to go to.

"So Newton, why is your family going after her?"

"Go fuck yourself; I have nothing to say to you." Just as he finished his statement Jasper came at him with a whip, you could hear the crack as it hit his skin.

"I'll ask you again, what interest do you have in her?"

"Bite me asshole, that didn't even hurt me." He said spitting in Jaspers direction. Just then Emmett came from behind hitting him with a 2 x 4 in the back, you could hear the sickening crack and it sounded like something broke. He immediately started to scream out in pain, good.

"So are you going to tell us what's going on or just run your mouth some more? I personally don't have a problem with you running your mouth, but your bones might."

"I was just told to watch her that's it I swear. I don't know what she is to the boss, I know that he has an obsession with her and wants her to be his but that's it." He finally started to talk but that didn't mean anything to me. I decided that we should send a little message to Black letting him know that he wasn't going to get to my girl.

"I'll let you go but I have a message that I want delivered to your boss. You make sure to tell him she is off limits, I will be watching to make sure that she is left alone, she has nothing to do with this lifestyle and it will stay that way. If you fail or he continues to go after her I will personally come after you and you can bet that you won't be left alive again." He nodded his head glad that he was going to be leaving alive this time, I only gave one chance after that you're as good as dead to me. "Untie him and let him go but watch him make sure the message is delivered." I walked out of the warehouse and let them do there job, I could hear him screaming in pain as they continued to make a point with him before letting him go crawling back to his boss.

.

Another week has passed as so far nothing has happened to Bella or her brother, Liam said they didn't really go out or do much, just stayed at home. That I was grateful for because with Black out there wanting her I needed to make sure that she was safe.

Ring, ring, ring, ring.

"What!" I shouted at the phone, I was having a great dream where Bella and her brother were here with me in my house. I wanted her to be safe and I knew that apartment she was in wasn't.

"Hey boss its Liam, there is someone around B's apartment, do you want me to follow them or wait to see what they do?"

"Watch them, are you sure they don't live there?"

"They might, I haven't seen them here before but people come and go all the time so it's possible."

"Watch and see what they do, if they head towards her place then follow them." I told him and hung up, it felt like I had just fallen back to sleep when the phone rang again, this time I knew it was Corin and that couldn't be good.

"Hey Edward it's Corin, I'm here at Bella's house and it's been destroyed again, she said that her brother is at basketball practice. The note on the wall said that she was going to pay for going to the cops and is worried about her brother, can you come over here?"

"I'm on my way now, when I get there you go get her brother and I'll take care of her."

"Great I'll see you in about 15 then" she hung up the phone and I was out the door running to my car. 10 minutes later I was pulling up to her apartment and knocking on the door. To say she was surprised to see me was an understatement. When she asked what I was doing here I told her that Corin had called me to come over, I was getting ready to ask if she was hurt when her douche bag landlord walked over to us and started to yell at her.

"How the hell did this happen again? Are you passing your keys around and telling them it's ok to damage this place? Twice in a matter of weeks and this place is destroyed, is someone really breaking in or are you and your brother wrecking things? The other tenants are going to think this place isn't safe with you two hear!"

"I'm so sorry sir; I don't know why this is happening. I keep my keys on me at all times, I don't leave them anywhere and I know that Eric hasn't lost his either." I could tell she was on the verge of tears but was trying to hold them back so she would look strong.

"I want you out of here by the end of the week, if you are then I won't hold you to your lease. I can't have this happening again, I also want next months rent by then to help pay for these repairs, if you're not out by then I will go to the courts and have you evicted." He stormed out of the apartment slamming the door behind him, what a jerk.

"Bella?" As soon as I said her name she sat down on what was left of her couch and started to cry, I placed my arm around her bringing her closer to my chest. She smelled of strawberries and watermelon, it was intoxicating. I brought her into my lap and just held her close to me, I didn't know what else to do for her, she was scared and upset. When she finally calmed down some, her sobs turned into hiccups it was quite cute really but I didn't think now was the time to tell her that.

"Why are you here Edward?"

"Well Corin called me and said that someone had broken into your apartment again. I was going to come the last time too but she said that Newton was here and I didn't want to cause anymore trouble for you. I know that you know who we are by now," she nodded her head, "well Newton is part of the Quileute family he works for them. Corin works for me or well the Italian family anyway. I had her keep tabs on you and let me know if anything was happening after the last time someone broke in. Is there a back entrance to this building or a fire escape?"

"Yeah there are both, why? Why are you having someone watch me?"

"I was just wondering how they are getting in here is all." She was still sitting in my lap when Corin and a boy came threw the door, I'm guessing this was her brother because as soon as he was in the door Bella flew off my lap and into his arms and started to cry all over again.

"Bella, you need to calm down you're going to have another panic attack at this rate." I knew that he was only 17 but he was more mature then that, it was like he knew he had to take care of her even though he was younger then her.

"I don't know what to do, the landlord told us that we have to be out by the end of the week or he was going to go to the courts and have us evicted. If we leave at the end of the week then he won't hold us to the lease agreement and he wants next months rent then also, we don't have that kind of money right now. It take me all month working 7 days to get that money saved up, I'm so sorry this is happening to us."

"Hey it's not your fault that this is happening ok? We will figure this out and then go from there ok?" She nodded her head letting him know that she heard him.

"Corin do you know what happened?" I asked her quietly not wanting to interrupt there time together, I was glad that she had someone here to help take care of her.

"Nothing, Newton hasn't come back to work yet. They are saying that he will be out another few weeks due to injuries that he has received, I guess he got caught in the middle of some gang war and you know how they just love the police."

"Serves him right trying to get in the middle of stuff." We were talking quietly while Bella got herself back together; I wasn't going to be leaving just yet I wanted to talk to her some more first.

AN:

So what did you think of Edward's view? Not sure if he will make another appearance or not but we'll see.
