Chapter Three

EPOV

I paced around my room as I thought about what Carlisle told me over forty-eight hours ago. I mean an arranged marriage? Why would I be tied down to someone I don't have feelings for? Let alone make someone else be tormented because my father is stubborn and thinks it's okay to just arrange a marriage because of something I wasn't even responsible.

I looked over to my coffee table to see my phone lighting up. I walked over and picked up as I saw Emmett's face on it.

"Hey." I said quietly

"Hey, bro. Wanna go lift a bit?" I looked at the clock and thought why not.

"Sure, you want to use my gym or go to the one by the Marina?" I asked, as I headed to my room to change.

"I'll come on over. That way we can watch the game. U.S is playing tonight." I could hear the childish grin in my brothers voice and chuckled.

"Alright Em, I'll see you in a bit." We both said our goodbyes and hung up the phone before I pulled on my clothes.

Needless to say, I enjoyed my workouts with Emmett. He pushes me to keep working hard and especially at times like this, I could defiantly use a hardcore work out to relieve some stress; although there are other ways.

I go down into the gym and see Emmett warming up on the treadmill, blasting some rap music. I hopped onto another treadmill and started to warm up as well. This usually took us ten minutes before we lightly stretched for the next five minutes which soon lead into Emmett training me.

"Alright, bro, I want 30 bench presses with these twenty pound weights." I laid on the bench press and began to focus, although twenty pounds was nothing, I knew it was the start.

After about an hour, which killed me, Emmett slapped my back and motioned to go upstairs. As we reached the living room I grabbed water for both of us.

"Thanks Eddie" He smirked and I sat down.

"Shut up, jackass."

"Alright, alright. So…Have you thought about what dad said the other day?" I looked down at my water and swirled it around lightly.

"Yeah… I have…And I think its complete bullshit." I take a huge gulp of my water and look at him, before continuing. "Emmett, we're living in the twenty-fucking-first century, he can't just arrange a marriage on me."

"I know it's ridiculous Ed, but dad has a reputation. We should respect that."

"Yeah, but when the hell am I going to get my respect? If getting respect means to gain trust, then how come dad has yet to trust me?"

"Maybe you should trust dad…perhaps he has the right intensions for you. But, it's all up to you. Maybe you can talk dad out of all of this." He said before turning the T.V. on and catching up on the soccer game, even though we both know the U.S. will win it all. I leaned back in my seat to get more comfortable until Emmett's phone started to ring. I looked over only to see him with his love drunk face plastered all over him.

"Hey Rosie" he gushed. I swear, sometimes he was such a pussy it was pathetic. He kept talking until he looked over at me. "Hey, Rose is asking if you want to join us and one of her friends to go down to the club." I shook my head and waved it off.

"Tell her she can come here and hang out. I can invite Jazz and Alice if she wants." I said, not wanting to deal with people at the moment." Emmett beamed.

"Thanks man!" He said before asking Rose if she was okay with the plan. Turns out, she was. We continued watching the game.

"So, whose Rose's friend?"

"Her name's Bella. She's really sweet, going to college right now." I quirked my eyebrow and smirked. A college girl, eh?

"Is she old enough to drink?" I asked before getting up.

"She's 22 I believe" He said, engrossed into the game which made me grin even more.

"Perfect." I said quietly and began laying out some bottles on the bar before going upstairs to get ready.
