*Epov*
I fell back asleep after she had walked out of the apartment. It smelled like her. I sighed and held the pillow to my chest. Pathetic was what it was. First of all I had a girl in my bed and I've only known her for a day. Second I was Edward Anthony Cullen, I don't take girls home. Third, she just wasn't some girl she was my bosses best friend and co-worker, who was amazing and shit I was a pussy.
I showered and took the sheets off my bed. Put them in the hamper, reminding myself to text message my mother to see if I could use their washer. I grabbed a power bar off the counter and my keys. Stepping outside I looked across the complex to hers. Shaking my head I jogged down the steps and to my car.
Her car was gone. Shit. So she was at work before me. That's what you get for laying in bed you wuss. I turned up the radio blaring whatever came on the rock station as I drove to work.
Emmett's hummer was in his spot, Bella's mustang was parked next to it. I pulled in the spots behind them. I checked my car clock. It was only 11. Oh well. I grabbed my portfolio I left in the car last night; Bella could make copies of it today. I pulled the black door open and heard some, what I assumed was country music playing through the shop. The office was closed. I stopped and dropped my keys off at my station and walked down the hall.
Bella stood in a white and blue dress with her back too me hanging something on the wall. Emmett wasn't around and I didn't see the lights on in his station.
"I really hate her, I'll think of a reason later" she sung to the song. She swayed her hips and placed the picture on the wall.
"It sure isn't Christian to judge a stranger" she continues singing and pulled back looking at the picture. I didn't notice the office door opening or Emmett.
"Hey Edward" Emmett clapped his hand on my back and I shrugged and shook his hand as he came around to the counter I was leaning on. Bella how ever jumped from her spot and turned to see me. She tucked her dark chocolate hair behind her ear and blushed.
"Fucking turn this shit off" Emmett waved his hand to the computer.
"Someone's in a bad mood" Bella sat down at her stool and changed it so that some rap song blared through the speakers.
"Fucking happy?" she replied and walked from her spot around me and out the front door.
"PMS" I wasn't sure if I should run after her or stay here. I felt my body turn to the door and stare at it.
"So, is that your folder?" he asked and I tuned out of my daze and handed it to him.
Bella came back with a soda and something wrapped in tin foil. Emmett sat my portfolio in front of Bella and said he was leaving for an hour. I sat down on the stool Emmett once sat.
"Hey" she smiled. She opened the tin foil to reveal a burrito.
"What's in that?"
"Eggs, sausage, salsa, umm cheese, sour cream and bacon" she took a bite chewing and I looked at the thing that was two sizes too big to be a burrito.
"Want some" I cringed as she asked with a mouth full of food.
"Um no" I waved the power bar from my pocket. She made a face. Alright so that goes on my mental pro and con list. Maybe that's because I'm picky. Then I saw her full shoulder tattoo better than I had last night. And her boobs looked amazing and her hair was down and straight, and it seemed that that made the flaws take no part to my list.
"What?" she sat the burrito down and whipped her face off with the napkin.
"Nothing" she smiled. I went to open my mouth but the door opened and in popped her mom.
"Hey… oh my god is that a green big burrito from next door?" Bella's mom leaned on the counter and Bella handed her the rest of the burrito.
"Hey party tonight" she said then took a bite moaning as she did. Bella palmed her forehead.
"Oh yeah, your house?" Bella asked.
"The new pool and hot tub are done; bring you suits, Edward you should come too." She finished and Bella looked at me.
"Oh yeah, you could hook a ride with Jasper or me" she said adding her with a different tone of voice. Bella's mom left with the burrito in hand, kissed Bella and said to text message her. She said she hopes I show up and smiled as she left. Maybe it is just me, but no one ever said Bella's moms name, it was like they all called her mom in the first place, I wasn't about to call some lady I barely knew mom.
"So, I mean you should come if you want, umm, my mom throws parties all the time, she's crazy" Bella emphasized on the crazy. I nodded.
"Well we could go together or I mean well Jasper will go, if you want to, I mean it doesn't matter to me" she mumbled and shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, I mean if you don't mind I'll just go when you go, that way I won't feel like I'm intruding." The smile on her face was priceless and I felt my whole body twitch with happiness.
"Uh, yeah, that works, umm bring swimming trunks" Bella smiled. I handed her my folder and she smiled and started to flip threw it.
"Wow" was all she said to every page. I wasn't sure if it was good or not. Finally she came to my last page and smiled. She flipped it closed and then turned to me.
"So do you want all of it on the web site or just a few pages?"
"Umm, I'm not sure, whatever you think is best?" I wanted to see what she thought, I knew which ones I liked and wanted to show, but I just had to see her view.
"Well I like the whole book, your really talented with colors, and the way you sketch is tight but, I like" she paused and grabbed the hot pink sticky notes on the desk. She went and flicked through the pages adding a note, marking each picture with one.
She pushed the folder over to me. "The marked ones are the ones I want to scan." I flipped through the pages; she had marked the same pages I had hoped. She pointed to the big wings I did for some guy, and then said she loved the words I did. How I was good with text tattooing. So we settled on five out of the 15 pictures to do now.
She stood up and her leg gently brushed against my pants. My hands wanted to grab her bare thigh but I let her pass and she smiled going to the scanner. I kept my eyes on her as she moved around.
All thoughts were interrupted when Alice came in. Bella told her about the party and I went to my station to try and get rid of the impure thoughts I was having
I did some more walk in-s. Some girl wanted a butterfly on her hip with fill graph. Bella eyed the girl she was about 19 and was bubbly and annoying. Jasper sat in with me since Emmett was still gone.
Bella stood in the door way watching. Alice was flipping threw the songs on the computer. I tired to focus on the girls tattoo at hand. Bella would tap her foot or I'd look over at her rolling her eyes. I wasn't sure if it jealousy or she was impatient.
"Bell's what the fuck?" Jasper beat me to the punch. I lifted the gun off the girl's skin. She smiled at me and I watched Bella make a face and turn to leave. Jasper shrugged his shoulders.
I finished the girl's tattoo. She thanked me and told me it was perfect. I mean, how bad is a butterfly? I smiled and told her she was welcome. Bella shot daggers at her as she left. I took the money she left and noticed the yellow paper sticking out of the money.
"Is that a note?" Alice pointed to the wad of cash I had. Bella had her arms crossed, Jasper took the money from me and un-folded it.
"Looks like the chicks number" before I could reach the number Bella snatched it up and read it and then threw it on the counter and walked away. Alice looked at me and then out the door and her mouth opened in shock.
"Oh my god" I looked at her as she stood like she was piecing shit together. Although I had already thought Bella would have told her. She shook her head and then walked away.
"What was that?" I just shrugged my shoulders. Jasper let it go.
"So do you need a ride to Renée's party?"
"Who?"
"Bella's moms house." Oh so her name is Renée.
"Oh um, Bella is taking me." Jasper did a wink and then walked to his station.
Emmett came back with pizza. Bella has yet to say a word to me. She told Emmett about the party, and then her and Alice left. I did another supervised tattoo on some older women in her 30's getting a memorial tattoo of her son in Iraq.
Emmett told me next week I would no longer need to be supervised and I would be able to bring my own clients in here.
The way Bella acted this after noon was still in my mind as I climbed the stairs to my apartment. Jasper told me he would see us there and waved at his front door.
'Hey be ready at 7, k?' The text message said when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I smiled at her number and went to get ready.
I pulled the door open and I wasn't sure if I should fuck her up against the door or, bring her inside. Her jean skirt was short and her white top ended at her hips and had a heart with wings on it. She had the tie of the sides of what I assumed was her bikini hanging out her sides and I could see the tie from her shirt being strapless.
"Ready?" she looked me up and down with a smile on her face. I had on white board shorts with a black Hawaiian print on them and a v-neck black tee. I grabbed my keys off the stand by my door and nodded to her.
I followed her to her car. She got in and unlocked the passenger seat for me. I slid in and noticed her car was clean. There was no trash, there was no nothing. Something I hadn't expected from her. She looked at me as I turned around in her car.
"What is wrong with you?" she looked over her shoulder as she backed up and then back as she through it in drive and headed out of the parking lot.
"You keep your car very clean"
"Hello it's a fucking classic, if I didn't well then I would just be stupid." she rolled her eyes and turned the volume up on the song playing. She danced at red lights and sung off key and made up words when she didn't know them. Before long we were pulling into a drive way of a two story blue house with a very big front lawn. She put the car in park and put on the emergency brake.
"My mom tends to throw over landish parties, she is crazy and I think some days she tries to make up for the days she missed with me, but it should be fun" she patted my knee, looked in the review mirror and headed out. I followed her lead. There was already like five cars here.
Bella took my hand in hers and opened the white door. Music blared through the house, I wasn't sure what it was but it was a dance beat. Bella called to her mom over the song.
"Oh well" Bella shook her head and we headed through the kitchen where there was tons of liquor set up in a row. Bella turned around and stood on her tippy toes opening a cupboard and reaching for shot glasses. She pulled out a clear square one and long red one.
"Pick your poison" she pointed to the different liquids.
"What are you having?" She smiled and looked at me.
"Well I think it's a vodka night" she pulled the long clear bottle with the word Smirnoff on it. She poured us each a shot.
"Ready?" She grinned and I held the poison liquor to my lips. Copying her I let it slid down my throat with a burning sensation. She moved past me and grabbed some cherry lime aid minute maid and pours it into two puts followed by an illegal amount of vodka in the glasses she found.
"It's good" I took it and followed her as she walked out to the patio that was lit up with tea lights and little Christmas lights in the trees. The pool had floaters in it and the music was louder out here.
"BELLA!" Renée came over in a red bikini. Bella smiled at her mom.
"Oh good Edward you came" she smiled at me.
"Who are all these people?" Bella asked and took a sip of her drink and passed it to her mom.
"Uh some friends of mine, and some friends of theirs, oh well have fun baby," she kissed Bella's cheek and went back to her dance buddy. Bella laughed.
"She is so high."
"Does that bother you?" Bella looked over at her mom and then back at me.
"Some times but then again I get high some times, it's not like I can judge her she raised me." she took a sip of her drink.
"Stop baby sitting it" she told me and I started to take more sips of the drink she made.
"Want to go sit in the hot tub?" she asked pointing to the hot tub in the left corner of the back yard.
"Sure" she grabbed my hand and pulled us to the bubbling hot tub. She sat her glass on the side in the cup holder, I followed her. I turned to her and I watched her slid the jean material over her ass. The thigh black material ended just below the perfect curve of her ass. Her back was too me as she pulled off the top and sat it on the chair next to hot tub.
She turned and looked over at me. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and threw it over my head missing seeing her hop in to the water. I folded my shirt and lay in next to hers. I climbed over the edge and sat in the sunken seat where my drink was. You could fit at least 10 more people in here.
"So Jasper and Alice are on their way" she said sitting across from me. The water coming almost to her neck. The water covered most of my torso, but she looked smaller in the water. She ran her hands through her hair and smiled over at me.
"How's the drink coming?" she didn't even ask me she leaned over me and grabs my drink that I had hardly touched. "Drink it" she smiled and I feel her body fall away from me back into her spot.
She hands me my cup and grabs her. Holding it to mind in my hand for cheers. I watched her basically down the content of her drink. I couldn't resist her she already had me wrapped around her finger. I did as she said.
"So did you call that one girl?" her leg rubbed up against mine and I felt chills.
"Is someone jealous?'
"Umm, no" she shrugged her shoulders and I watched water get on her neck. I wanted to lick the base of her neck. The place I had bit last night didn't even show. Unless she heals fast.
"No I didn't call her, plus I'm more interested in someone else" she eyed me and noticed my smile.
"So, do I know her?" I leaned forward and slid my hands up her wet legs.
"Quite well actually." She leaned forward towards me. Her hands rested upon mine.
"Oh, yeah?"
I nodded and moved closer. Almost her lips to mine.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Shit.
*Bpov*
I turned my head quickly to the scream. There stood Jasper holding Alice's hand who didn't look shocked. Emmett had that blonde on his arm and his mouth was open wide. I told Alice that we hooked up. Emmett never said anything this morning when I came to work, and Jasper well he's just him.
I pulled away from Edward regrettably. He sighed and slouched in the warm water.
"I'm going to get shots" Alice smiled at us and pulled Jasper along with her. Emmett the big ape stood gaping at us.
"Emmett, really?" the blonde hit his arm and he looked down at her. He shook his head.
"I'm sorry" she smiled. She didn't look like she was dressed for a pool party; she was in tight skinny jeans and this red halter top that showed off her tight abs. To say she was beautiful might be an insult to her.
"Don't worry about it." I stood up and she came over closer as I held out my hand.
"Rose," she smiled.
"Are you getting in?"
"Not with fresh ink, I just came to chill" she smiled. Emmett who was in dark blue shorts and a white tee looked lost and confused. I mean sure Emmett took me under his wing; he acts like my big brother because well we never worked out as a couple. He was too much of an arrogant cocky man, it works like this friendship.
"Cool" she said in the chair around the hot tub and I sunk back into my seat. Edward looked into his cup. Staring as if it was going to say something to him.
"Alright I got shots bitches!" Alice came out holding a tray well a plate my mother didn't have trays with shot glasses on it. Jasper carried the vodka and orange juice now.
Rose sat on the side of the hot tub leaning on Emmett as we sat in the hot tub. My mom was in and out with us, she was always running around or dancing. She took a shot or two with us.
"So you two are what dating now?" Emmett asked. Rose hit him on his shoulder.
"Leave them alone really" she smiled at me. I grew to like her. Even if she was far too pretty and I think she was good for him. He just shook his head.
"What's it matter?" I answered back. Alice giggled. I told her before I left to get Edward to come here. I shook my head and propped myself on the side of the tub.
"Where are you going?" Emmett asked.
"Far away from you as I can, I have no idea why you are so mad or pissed off but shit" I hopped out and grabbed the towel my mom sat out. I grabbed my cell and walked towards the house. I swayed a little from the drinks. I wrapped the towel around me. My mom was some where around the house. Most of her guest left except this guy Phil who was a new artist that wanted to display his work in her shop. I'm sure that wasn't all he wanted to do. I watched Edward walk in. He had a grin on his face he eyes said so many things at once as he held his chin high and his body leaned to me as he walked in the kitchen where I stood.
"You can't just follow me; people will get ideas" Edward shook his head and leaned closer to me pressing me against the counter. His neck bent a little and I smiled as I felt his go on each side of me his hands braced the counter as he wet torso touched me and I watched him lick his bottom lip before pressing his lips to mine.
He pulled away, but kept me pinned against the counter. "Let them" a smiled formed on his lips. My legs pushed them self tighter together. There was something beyond control of all my lady parts when Edward was near. I smiled pushed him back sliding from him. I held out my hand and he laced our fingers together. I wasn't sure if that the tingle I felt was the alcohol or the desire to be wrapped up and around his body in ways I have never experienced.
I looked into the living room where my mom had passed out and Phil the new guy just smiled and waved. He stroked her hair as she laid on him. At least he hasn't bolted yet.
My mom had a nice four bedroom house in the small little 'suburbs'. We moved into this house when I was 16, kind of a lie seeing as how most people here were married and had 'perfect' lives. Hell the lady next door is still doing her pool boy who understands few words in English. It's like my moms own desperate house wife's.
We climbed the stairs to my room. My mom had the room on the bottom under the stairs. She never felt like climbing stairs if she was too tired, or lazy. So I got the big room upstairs with the big windows.
I opened the first door down the hall and smiled at him. I flipped the light switch and walked in the room the rest of its way.
"Whose room is this?"
"Mine" the walls had a pink and white striped wallpaper on them. There was cork board on the big wall full of pictures and ticket stubs. A poster or Justin Timberlake my desk from high school was still here just less clean. There were a few clothes in the closet. My big fluffy orange chair sat in the corner and my big bed was covered in a hello kitty comforter and pillows.
"Cute" I pushed him lightly and he grabbed my waist pulling at my towel. Letting it fall. I smiled at him and his hands ran through my hair and rested on the side of my neck.
"Hey tomorrow afternoon, wanna hang out?" His green eyes meet my brown normal ones and I felt things I never felt before. The sarcastic remark I wanted to say left my mind as I said sure. Then his red lips touched mine. His thumbs made a circle pattern on my neck as he kissed me with passion lust and about some other sex crazy dwarf emotions.
"Bella!?!?!" I heard Alice's voice carry from the stairs. I tried to pull away but his tongue licked my bottom lip and I felt my knees go jelly; this caused him to smirk into the kiss.
"I don't know" I heard her yell at someone. Then I heard the foot steps get closer.
"Bella?" Edward's arms wrapped around me tighter and I knew we shut the door but it wasn't locked.
"Bella" I heard at the door.
"Ignore it" he whispered against my lips. I looked over at the door.
"I... can't." He let me go and I held on to his hand as I opened the door frustrated.
"Oh sorry," she smiled. She was drunk.
"What?!" She turned over her shoulder "She's up here, with Edward" I looked in the hallway where Jasper stood with a grin, my mom and Emmett and Rose.
"Really?" Then Jasper held a bag up and I smiled at him.
"We can't smoke it with out you" I smiled over at Edward who wasn't sure if he should punch them all in the face or smoke the lovely bag of weed Jasper held in his hands like a candy bar.
So we walked away from my childhood bedroom and down the stairs. Phil had left so it was just the rest of us. My mother reminds us wet clothes sit on floor not couches. She handed me a blanket. I sat next Edward crossed legged.
If I had thought him smoking a cigarette was hot, him taking a deep breath in as he inhaled the smoke, taking it like a champ. I'm a goner and it's only been a few days. I don't know what I would do if I was to not know Edward Cullen.
