Ch. 2

BPOV

"You were paired up with WHOM?" my best friend, and former partner, Alice Masen asked. Alice had been my best friend since training, which was a couple of years ago.

"Emmett… of all the people, chief put me with the biggest moron of life. And I can't complain about it to chief because the retard is the chief's son!" I said, grabbing my stuff from my desk, along with the three inch binder… which I'm supposed to share with Emmett. This means that we have to meet up after agency hours. Ugh, how wonderful.

We were heading out for the day, and Alice didn't have a ride so she usually went with me, if Jasper couldn't. Jasper Hale is Alice's boyfriend. He's one of the best agents out there.

"But… what if you say that Emmett is mean to you or something?" she said, helping me grab my stuff because I was putting my gun in the shoulder holster I had on. I quickly strapped in the gun safely and grabbed my stuff from Alice.

"I can't do that. I sound like a wuss. I'm just gonna have to shove it and shut it… guess what that means?" I asked, while we were heading out the office doors.

"What does that mean?" she asked, obviously thinking about the multiple possible answers.

"It means I'm partners with the man who killed my brother." I said, not letting my feelings cover my face.

"And with the man who broke your heart…" Alice said quietly, looking up at me from her 4'11 stature. I looked down at her and smiled against myself.

"Yeah… that too." I said, and we got in my car and headed to our shared town house. This was going to be an interesting 4 weeks.

"Dad… you can't pair me up with her. There's too much history between me and her. That's against agency policy." I said, running a hand through my black curls.

I, Emmett Cullen, paired up with Bella Swan, the woman who stole my heart and shattered it into a million pieces. The woman who thinks I killed her brother, even when I didn't.

"Son, you two are the best on the field, and agency policy states that if the history is personal, it doesn't concern this. Both agents are to complete the mission anyways. I can't pair you up with someone else. It's too short notice. And I need this out of the agencies hair NOW." My dad, the chief, said, regarding me as if I were some 5 year old.

"But-but dad…" I said, walking towards him, because he was leaving the office for the day, just like half the agents in here.

"No butts son. You're going to Greece with her for four weeks. Nothing is going to make me change your partner, or this mission to which I have assigned you to. Now, go home, and call Bella. She has the binder so you two will have to meet up. Oh! And your mother wants you by the house tonight. She's making your favorite. Lasagna." My dad smiled, and left, leaving me alone in his office.

I headed home about two minutes after my dad left me alone. Why Swan? Of all the good agents out there, my dad just had to pair me with Swan. Not only did she hate me, but we hadn't even talked in about 5 years. It's been five years since me and she had a decent conversation and five years since all of the crap happened between us.

Great, just great.

I got home just in time to catch Swan calling my cell, which I had left on my kitchen counter by accident this morning. I ran towards it.

"Hello?" I said a little breathless.

"Cullen, that you?" she asked, her voice sounded clipped and curt, even on the phone.

"Yeah, Swan, what do you want?" I asked, rather meanly, but I want going to be nice to her. Especially when she hated my guts.

"Look, I don't like being paired with you any more than you do, but we gotta do this. We have to go over the things in the binder, and since we don't wanna spend any more time with each other than we are required to, I thought we should split it and then compare what we got on Thursday. That gives us tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday to get all the info in our heads. That okay with you?" she asked me, sounding a little tired and nicer now. I sighed heavily. At least we were on the same page.

"Um… yeah. That's fine. Why don't we meet up somewhere so you can give me my half?" I asked, trying to be nice in return. She was right. No matter how much we hated our pairing up together, we needed to do this. It was a mission, and neither one of us takes missions lightly.

"Yeah, sure. How about the kid's park? The one in front of the elementary closest to the base…" she said, and I heard a little squeal of laughter, and a muffled 'Will you shut up? And turn that thing down… its driving me crazy…'

"Sure… how about we meet in half an hour? Gives us both time to shower the ugliness of the base away." I said, heading to my room and grabbing a pair of briefs.

"Ugliness?" she said, trying to hide her laughter.

"Yes, the base is very ugly." I said, smiling. Wait, what was I doing? Was I… was I FLIRTING? Nah… I'm a master of the art of flirting and this was not flirting… or was it?

"You are so weird. Anyways, yeah sure. I'll shower", Images of Bella naked in the shower popped into my head, and I had an instant hard-on, "and I'll be at the park in about half an hour. Don't be late." She said, and hung up. I didn't even agree. Well, whatever. I shook my head, erasing the images of Bella naked… in the shower… all wet… and slippery… GOD DAMNIT!!! STOP IT EMMETT! I yelled at my internally.

What was wrong with me?

I erased the thoughts, and headed to my shower. I was sooooo taking a cold one right now. God knows I needed it.

BPOV

I hung up the phone quickly, not letting him answer, because images of his amazing physique entered my thoughts after he said shower.

God… don't tell me after all this time I still love him? No… I don't. it's just… whatever. I don't love him anymore. I got over him a long time ago.

I grabbed a pair of underwear, not failing to notice it was a thong and a matching bra and headed to the shower.

I needed a cold shower. Really bad…

OMG!!!! Heehee, Bella and Em are thinking about each other naked… this can only lead to one thing… but if you want it to happen… YOU HAVE TO READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =DDDD

ILY you guys!!! =DD
