College life

"Come on Bells, wake up. We have people to interview today" Jasper said while shaking my arm.
"Five more minutes mom, school doesn't start yet" I said.
"Ha Ha Bells, come on or do you want the ice" he leaves my room laughing.
I open my eyes quick once Jasper said that. I have learned that whenever he tries to wake me up, I get up. Last time I didn't he poured ice water on me. I yelled, got up and chased him down the street in my p.j.'s while the neighbors where laughing at me.
"I'm up, I'm up no need for ice" I jumped out of bed. Good thing too, Jasper was by the door with ice water, ready to attack.
"ah, now I can't get you with the water. Dang it, Bells no fair." Jasper pouts going back to the kitchen. I just laugh at him, grab my things and went to take a shower. I got out of my room wearing black skinny jeans, blue lacy top and ballet flats. I just dried my hair and put in lose ponytail. When dressed and ready, I went into my kitchen to make breakfast for me and Jasper while he took a shower.
Our apartment is not too big but nice. We have a large living room with two big windows looking at some of the building near by. We have a big black leather couch with a matching love seat and a recliner. Our flat screen hanging on the t.v. (graduation gift from my mom and dad) one book shelf full of dvd's and books. A few pictures of my mom and dad, me and jasper, some of our friends and jasper's parents. Our kitchen is white with yellow cabinets. We stuck with a white fridge, white stove and a small microwave. We have a small table perfect for us and our roommate who ever that may be. Our rooms are down the hall. Mine is white with blue trimming. I have a queen size bed, a night stand on the side, it has my alarm clock and a small stereo for my ipod, long dresser with a small tv and dvd player on top. I have a few shelves hanging with little figures with pictures on them. My closet is small with little bit of clothes. I have to go shopping soon. I thought. I have an extra door that leads to my own bathroom. Jasper gave me this room just in case our roommate is a guy and he didn't feel comfortable with me being the only girl. He is very protective of me when it comes to things like that.
Jaspers room is simple. He likes simple things. His walls are just plain white. He has a queen size bed, night stand. He uses his cell phone as an alarm. A dresser with a flat screen hanging by above it. He has a book shelve too with his favorite books. Mostly history and world war events.
Our extra room is empty except for a bed and dresser for the new roommate with a bathroom between the two rooms.
"Jasper breakfast is ready coming on. We have to leave in about an hour" I yell for him. I am pretty sure the neighbors heard me. When we moved our stuff here, we saw two ladies moving things in the apartment across from us. We didn't get a good look at them at the time. We kept missing them every time we walked out or in the apartment.
"I am coming, hold on." I hear him from the other bathroom.
Jasper comes in the kitchen wearing dark blue jeans with a white fitted shirt and black shoes, he grabs the plates while I make pancakes and bacon for us. Jasper grabs some cups, gets the juice out for us and places it on the table. I stacked a few for jasper and a few for me. We ate in silence this time. Just thinking of random questions we were going to asked our roommate. When we finished, we cleaned our plates, grabbed our things and heading out. Both of us had a key to our place. I was holding the extra for our roommate.
The little café down the street is nice and cozy. Lucky for me I got a job there. The owner knew my dad from when they were growing up and got me a job. Thank fully I don't start until next week and only in the afternoons. Jasper got a job at the restaurant next door to the café. He is a waiter there. He works afternoons too. We both manage to convince both managers that we would like our shift to be the same that way it be easier on us. They both agree seeing as the owner of the restaurant is married to the owner of the café. Small world. Once inside the café, I picked a table near the door that way it be easier for our guest to leave. Jasper got us coffee and we waited until people showed up. After about five minutes one person shows up. He is tall with dark blonde hair, blue eye, skinning, wearing a sport jacket ripped jeans and a tan shirt. He walks up to us. First he sees me and then Jasper. He looks at me again, eyeing me up and down. I stiffen up and Jasper notices, he puts his arm around my back while glaring at this guy.
"Hi, you must be Bella and Jasper, I am Mike Newton" still eyeing me, licking his lips.
"Yes" Jasper glares at Mike.
"Let's get started, we have some one coming in 15 minutes and we would like to get this done with" I said moving closer to Jasper.
"Alright, Mike, first do you have a job" Jasper ask still glaring at Mike.
"Not at this moment. I am in between jobs." Mike says eyeing me.
"o.k. what about college. Are you attending?" I said looking at my paper, pretending to write his info.
"yes, I will be going to college, what about you?" He looks at me.
"Um, yeah, what's your major" I look at my paper still.
"not sure yet, look do I have the place or not, I need to know, I am getting kicked out of my last place and I need an answer" he looks at Jasper this time a little mad.
"we will let you know what we decided. We will call you then, bye" Jasper raises his voice a little.
Mike gets up and leaves not before staring at my chest this time. Jasper was about to get up but some guy knocked mike down spilling coffee on his shirt.
"shit, what the…" Mike looks up at the person and freezes up. I look up to see a big guy with brown curly hair, brown eye, baby face, muscular, tanned and well built. He reminds me of a bear.
"Yes, what" the guy looks at mike and smirks.
"nothing my mistake, I ran into you." Mike said getting up then running off.
The guy laughs at mike and turns to us.
"Can I join you? I couldn't help over hearing you're looking for a roommate?" the guy says.
I look at Jasper, he seemed calm down a bit. He looks at me then nods.
"sure be our guest" I tell him.
"I saw that guy looking at you, making you feel uncomfortable and I couldn't resist. He looked like a jerk. By the way my name is Emmett McCarthy" he raises his hand at me.
"Bella swan" I takes his hand. "and my cousin Jasper Whitlock" Jasper nods.
"cousin huh, I thought he was your.." he looked puzzled
"Ew gross, no, ugh, no, he is my cousin. He is very protective of me from guys like that" pointing at mike, "He is more like a big brother to me." I shake my head.
"I have seen guys look at Bella like that jerk mike and I don't like that. I have been in fights with half the guys talking about Bella like some piece of meat" Jasper says looking at me then Emmett.
"I understand, my friend's sister is like that to me. I feel protective of her too." Emmett smiles.
"So you are wondering about the apartment" I said trying to change the subject.
"yes, is it still available" he looks at both of us with hopeful eyes.
"let see, do you have a job" Jasper ask.
"I work as a bouncer at a night club. I work afternoons and sometimes weekends. I don't bring my work home with me. I normally go to theirs" he winks at me. I blush and giggle a little.
"what about college?" I ask.
"I am going to college here also, I have been majoring in gym and weight training, hoping to get a degree as a weight trainer. Got to keep this arm buff" he kisses his arms. I roll my eyes. Men
"what about family, are you close to family" I ask
"Nope my mother ran off some where, haven't seen her since. My father is a dead beat don't know about him. No brothers or sister. Just a few friends that I consider family" he looked sad for a minute there.
"what about girlfriend?" I ask
"Nope, why you interested" he smiles and winks at me
"Hey that's my cousin you are talking too" Jasper say defensive
"Chill, I was joking. Look if you let me live with you, I wont be trouble, I will pull my weight around, I will help with rent, bills and what not. Plus I feel protective of Bells here. Since I know that jerk mike will be back some how. Can't let him go near her" he said smiling at me.
I put my head down and blush.
"let me think about it, Emmett. Can you give Bella and I five minutes to talk it over and then we will let you know" Jasper said to him.
Emmett nods and walks off to a few tables down giving us more privacy. Jasper turns to me.
"well what do you think" Jasper looks at me.
"well he did get that mike away, he seems nice and funny. Doesn't have much of family, has a job. Um, I think we should try. Lets give him a trail bases first. One month. If it doesn't work, then we tell him to leave" I said to Jasper.
"Um, what about the other people we have to interview. What do we tell them" Jasper looks at me
"how many people did we get" I said
"um, 2, mike and some girl but she never called back" Jasper said looking away.
"o.k. then it's settle, Emmett can you come back" I yell over Emmett.
He walks back to us with a hopeful grin. Sits back down in front of us.
"o.k. we have decided, we will give you a month but if you screw up, out you go, got it" I look him square in the eye.
"really, cool, you guys wont regret it, thank you, thank you, when can I move in, cool, I am glad you said yes" he rambles on. Then pulls me into a big hug.
"Emmett.. Can't… breathe… let go" I said trying to get him off.
"sorry. I am just glad, thank you both" he shakes Jasper's hand and mine again
"don't thank me, Bella said yes. But we do have rules to follow too since she is the only girl in the apartment." He smiles at me.
"o.k." he said with a big grin.
"alright lets get your things and get back to our apartment. I am sure you want to check it out" I grab Jasper's hand to lead him out and Emmett followed behind.
When we walked out, Emmett picks me up and throws me over his shoulder walking next to jasper.
"put me down I can walk, put me down, Jasper help me" I yell at them both.
"nope sorry you said yes, beside I think I am going to like this two against one" he smirks at me.
"crap, no don't even think about it, Jasper I swear if you…." I was cut off when Jasper lead us to my truck.
"wow, what is that?" Emmett places me down in front of my truck.
"it's my truck, it's my baby. I've had her for a long time." I said standing next to my very old red chevy truck.
"your truck. Don't you mean our truck since I help pay for half" Jasper said holding the keys in front of me.
"only because Charlie said you can drive it too" I glare at him
"it's a nice truck, can I drive" Emmet jumps up and down grinning like a little kid.
"um, I don't know" I look around.
"please Bella I will be careful, please, please," Emmett still jumping.
"Jazz help me out here" I look at him pleading.
"nope sorry, you said yes," Jasper smiles at me.
" Crap, fine you can drive Plus we have to get your things right" I rolled my eyes at them both.
"YEAH I GET TO DRIVE" Emmett jumps again and grabs the keys from Jasper.
We all get in the truck with me in the middle. Let me tell you it's not fun with two guys who want to squeeze themselves next to you calling sandwich. The ride was short, Emmett had been staying at the club he worked at until he found a place. The owner was nice guy, polite to me and Jasper. We drove back to our apartment, got Emmett settled in and order pizza. We talked about each other some more to get to know each other. I think Jasper and Emmett are going to get along fine. They even played a few tricks on me, but not before I got them back. I think this is going to be fun and interesting year for us.
