The Cold Ones

-Chapter Three: The Best Job in the World-

[BPOV]

My whole body's shivering from both fright and surprise as a familiar voice whispered in my ear, he then touched his lips on my right cheek with his warm arms wrapped around my waist. I turned to face him while I gasp for oxygen.

"Who are you?" he said in surprise yet soft tone.

Speechless and dumbfounded I mumbled some words unconsciously, "I-I'm the new… the new… P.A.…" then I faked a smile within a split second.

There became a moment of silence while he was staring at me like I'm going to melt like ice on sizzling pan, and I'm looking at the floor still terrified. He then broke the silence when he called Alice over the Trailer RV.

"Alice, did you hire a P.A?" he asked her while he's eyes widened looking at Alice's eyes like waiting for a yes.

"Y-yeah… yeah… I hired one..." she answered like she's not telling the truth then she looked at me, faked a smile.

Her answer surprised me with wonder in my expression. Mr. Cullen seemed satisfied with her reply he put on an invisible smile on his face as he left the trailer, leaving me with Alice.

"Who are you?" she asked perplexed. "You look innocent but what are you doing inside our trailer?"

"Please let me explain, I lost my wallet on my way here. I promised E-"I paused, "someone to watch the concert, so I went over the fence to get to the concert grounds but then the security guards are chased me. I hid here to avoid being caught by them". I looked down then grabbed her hand,"Please don't throw me in jail" I begged.

"I'm not. Just take the job. Ok? What's your name?"

"Isabella Marie Swan" I mumbled softly and unclear.

"Where do you live", her words made me wonder, yet I answered:

"La Bella Amor condo, room 404"

"Need a ride home?"

"I think I can ride ho—"

"Shush… we'll give you a ride there" she said as she placed her arm on my shoulder which I replied with a smile as gratitude. "Promise to start tomorrow with your things?"

"w-with my things?"

She nodded, "You're moving to the mansion, as our P.A., 24/7".

"Thank you" I uttered with a smile.

"I gave my 100% trust to you"

"You won't regret it, thank you"

Ms. Cullen called the whole band to get on the road and drop me off and them to the hotel. While the other get in the trailer Edward got his eyes stuck to me, I felt really conscious so I spent the whole drive staring at my chucks, since I sat in front of him and beside Ms. Cullen.

After a few minutes, we reached the condo. When Edward took a glimpse at the Serendipity restaurant, I stole a quick glance at him then got off with Alice leading me to the door. She didn't get off the trailer 'cause she's afraid that the fans would see her, so she waved goodbye and same with me with a thank you.

"We'll come by at nine a.m."

[EPOV]

Her resounding voice and angel face lingered in my mind as I looked at Alice wanting to question her something on our way to The Plaza hotel. Eager to know a piece of info, I asked her, the brunette's name.

She raised an eyebrow then her eye looked up still facing me, "I think her name is Maribella Xuan?" she replied leaving me uncertain, because her name sounds so awful, and weird, her beauty is irresistible, indescribable and exceptional.

The bus finally came to a stop. As expected a few fans caught us at the parking lot, and on our way to out room, I started a conversation with Alice.

"Noticed something different about the girl?"

"More of the same… Tanya"

"Her hair, body—"

"—but the height, and she looks more naive and innocent than your fiancé" she interrupted. "However she has a very simple fashion sense that needs serious work"

"You're not Simon [A/N: The strict judge in American Idol], don't judge her"

"Well, I'm Alice Cullen saying is this Edward Cullen, defending a very attractive brunette?"

I ignored her, with a smirk on my face then walked through the hall with the others. We're nearly got raped by the paparazzi that's endlessly chirping about Tanya's step glitch, she fell on her knees on the stage in her prestigious fashion show which is also on New York, on our way to the hotel room. When we got to the hotel room, I borrowed Alice's phone glittering yellow phone, I immediately dialed Tanya's number. She took her time to answer.

"Hey, babe, it's Edward, what happened?"

"I screwed the freakin' catwalk, BECAUSE OF YOU!" she uttered the last statement furiously.

"What did I do?" I asked confused.

"You're having an affair with another bitch while I was away. Let's talk now." I heard someone enter her room over the phone, then she ended hanged up.

I walked over to the hotel room with obviously hiding paparazzi on my back. I entered the unlocked door and found Garrett, Tanya's best friend before I met her. What were they doing? Kissing passionately. It didn't shock me, and not a bit of pain smothered my heart. When they noticed me, they stopped as I glared at Tanya with a surprise grin. Garrett left the room to give us privacy.

"Look at the one who said I'm having to commit infidelity, yet she's the one, caught in the act" she heard the words in great surprise. I noticed that her engagement ring isn't on her finger.

"He's just comforting me, unlike you, I could tell your sweating on her. How long have you been doing this to me?"

"What the freak?"

"FINE, DENY THE YOUR BITCH'S VOICE" the room is then filled with her loud voice as I'm calmed.

"My phone got snatched at the concert"

"GOOD REASON, IS ALICE AN ACCOMPLICE?"

"Believe me"

"WHY WOULD I? YOU'RE DEFINITELY WORTH A BREAK UP"

"Fine! If you don't trust me, trust Garrett, I'm not going to make this hard for you, if it's a break up you want, it's a break up you'll get".

She handed me the ring angrily and I held it in to a fist. I walked out, slamming the door shut. I walked at the hall with the reporters glaring at me, hungry for an answer to the resounding screams they heard not long ago. I ignored them as every celebrity does. I got to our hotel room with Alice staring angrily.

"What disaster did you cause this time?" she uttered slowly in a very fuming tone. "We can hear your war of words from here…"

"All I know is I don't deserve her, she doesn't trust me!" I replied then swiftly walked away from her with both of my hands held to a fist.

"I smell trouble", I heard her whisper.

I went to bed immediately to forget all my negative thoughts about today.

[BPOV]

I made sure that all my things are in place before I leave the crap condo in an hour. I brought the common things I needed in one stroller bag. It's not that heavy since I left my wardrobe in Washington and brought only those I can use unlike huge dresses.

I sat down watching TV then someone knocked on my door… I opened it and found a man.

"Ms. Cullen is waiting outside with the band; please allow me carry your baggage"

"It's just 8:30" I whispered to myself while looking at my chucks.

"Miss?", he caught my attention.

"I'll carry it myself, I'm a P.A. I do the work, its ok…"

"I'm Mike Newton, The Cold Ones' driver… Are you from Tennessee? 'Cause you're the only ten I see"

My face got covered in question marks. "It's flattering of you to say that, yet it's completely disturbing", I joked "Just kidding sorry"

He grabbed my bag on our way to the lobby, it annoyed me but I insisted anyway. We got to the lobby to surrender my key. Screaming fans caught my attention blocking the whole bus with the band's name and their picture painted on it.

"Oh god!" I uttered in shock

"They're waiting for you inside" Mike said.

I walked thought the crowd of squealing fans. When I got on the bus with Mike, I got astonished by it, as the bus turned out to be a huge RV Trailer. The whole band and their manager are staring at me like ice in a 200 degree oven. The most frightening eyes that caught me is Rosalie Hale, sitting next to her hubby, Emmett. I tried my best to fake a smile then waved with a short greeting, "Hi".

"Hey Maribella!" Ms. Cullen miscalled me.

"Actually my name is Isabella Marie Swan. Bella for short" I mumbled.

"Oh sorry… My mistake"

"Ok" I smiled at her.

In my surprise she hugged me, I embraced her back. It was supernatural for a very, very well-known artist to treat her help like a friend. I smiled at her as a reply

"Sit next to Edward", she said while showing his direction.

I sat next to the rockstar's right with a feet distance between us on the couch. I felt the bus moved forward in a rapid motion that carried my body to Edward's direction causing my hand to accidentally touch his right thigh to gain control to my body. When I regained my balance for a second, I apologized to him in an awkward way with a smile, I looked at my feet again my cheeks in red. I don't know why, but I feel like being watched by Mr. Cullen causing a countless glimpse on his gorgeous face, I think once I caught him glance at me but both of us avoid each other's eyes. Moments seemed like forever when silence is our greatest barrier, then at last he finally spoke:

"Hi, let me formally introduce myself; I'm Edward Cullen", I got surprised by his words, knowing his name, his age, his childhood, and everything a fan is dying to know about their idol.

"Like I didn't know", I got shocked by the words that came out very informally not the mention impolite. "Sorry, the words just came out, I didn't mean to—"

"Don't worry… At least now we're acquaintances, not strangers, Bella"

I nodded as a reply to him. "Ok" I then smiled; I reached my right hand for a shake. He grabbed my hand with his, he gave me a light handshake then I pulled my hand, his hand's gesture suggests that he doesn't want to let go that moment. After the awkward introduction he spoke again:

"I apologize for the intimate embrace I gave you… I really thought you're Tanya"

"She's blonde, right?"

"She dyed her hair for the screwed fashion show"

"Oh…"

"Don't worry about the hug, I'm sure it's an honest mistake" I smiled. He smiled back at me with a crooked smile that lingered in my mind for hours at the long trip. He pulled out his iPod and listened to music while I sat and busied myself by looking outside, endlessly reading every sign. The bus stopped then after a few calls to my name, I realized that Ms. Cullen wants something.

"Bella can you do me a favor?"

I walked to where she sat. she handed me a hundred dollars.

"At Starbucks just outside but me: Five frappe's for me, three cappuccinos for Jazz also for Emm, and three plain coffees for Mike too… Oh ask Edward what he wants, grab what you want too. Please and thank you" she smiled at me. I took her command as a request.

"Thanks but nothing for me", I turned to Edward and asked:"anything you want Mr. Cullen?"

"Nothing for me", he replied coldly.

I waited at the short line on the counter. It's my turn on the counter, I said the coffees then waited again for the orders, I walked away with a handful, I just asked the cashier to put the change in my pocket because the coffees my arms I can't move any of them, so I carefully walked to the door just to avoid tripping, 'cause I can't see my way. Then a tall man took the third plastic bag on my arms with five frappe's, when I can take a clear view of who it was, in my surprise I saw Mr. Cullen, wearing huge black glasses.

"Let me help you with that." he said.

"Sir Cullen… I can handle this" I whispered

"I insist on helping"

I added no words to his reply. We walked out of Starbucks, and I can tell… everyone's staring at us I think I even saw someone took as picture. We found our way to the RV; I came on the trailer first before Edward which followed. I took my step into the last stair when my feet slipped off the edge causing me to fall backwards. I closed my eyes to wait impact to somehow endure it but the crash didn't came instead I felt warm arms wrapped on my waist.

"Are you ok? Will you watch where you're going next time" he said rudely staying at the same gesture.

"I'm ok, thanks for catching me… and I'm very sorry" I mumbled blushing. I got out of the uncomfortable moment to face him, but what caught my attention are his expensive shoes, he dropped the frappe's that's scattered around the sidewalk."Oh god! I'm really, really, really sorry! I'm such a stupid clutz, I ruined your shoes… Sorry"

"No need for sorry, it's an accident, but be careful next time" he uttered relaxed.

I handed the coffees to them, except for Ms. Alice, and went back to the coffee shop again then bought five frappe's again with my own money. I got back to the bus immediately, I'm surprised that Sir Cullen is waiting at the bus entrance and reached his hands to me for assistance maybe? I thanked him with a smile. I went where Ms. Alice sat then handed her coffees with the exact change.

"Hey, that's a total of ten frappe's if the other five are wasted", she said. "Did Edward pay for the other five?"

"No, Ma'am"

"Then who?"

"Me… it's my fault anyways, I have to pay the price for my mistakes"

"But it's ok not for you to do that"

"I insist… It's bad enough I have to ruin my first day"

"Ok"

He changed his coffee-filled jeans and looked for shoes but didn't find anything in his baggage so he borrowed Emmett's so it's quite huge on his feet. He sat next to me with the distance of only an inch. He pulled out his iPod then began listening while looking at his fee, smiling supernaturally.

"Sorry about your shoes, Sir Cullen" I apologized for the millionth time.

"No need."

For a celebrity he's not that strict at all. I did a gesture of crossing my heart as a symbol of promise to make the wrong right, I'll buy him new shoes…
