EmmaCullen:*cough*EXCUSE*cough
AD:... ahem... anyway, the reason for the long absence will be listed at the end.
Chapter 4:
I awoke with a start. Outside, a moving truck screeched to a stop next door. Shocked, I jumped out of bed, causing Jacob to wake up.
"Wha, what is going on, it's only," he glanced at my alarm clock, "Holy crap, it's noon!" When he tried to get out of bed, he rolled over and fell face first onto my floor.
Laughing, I helped him up. " I think my new neighbors are here. You wanna get dressed so we can meet them?"
"Uh, sure. Just a sec," he walked over to my closet, which has a few of his clothes too, and picked something out.
"Any idea of who these people are?"
"Um, I know that they're related to Mike," I said, grimacing at what else he said to me in that call.
"Gross," he said, remembering him stalking me for three years, until Jake kicked the crap out of him.
"But, it's like his uncle. So, like yeah. They cant be too bad."
"Kids?"
"Um, boys. I'm not sure about any girls." I said, unsure.
"How do you know so much about them?" he asked, getting suspicious.
"Well, Mike called, and-"
"Mike?! Why didn't you tell me? What did he say?" he demanded.
"I didn't think you would care. And he called to inform me about my new neighbors. Calm down." I tried to soothe him by rubbing his shoulders.
"Hmmm," he moaned when I bent down and nibbled his ear.
"Let's get going," I said, stopping before things went too far.
"Awww," he complained. "It's not nice to tease."
"Sorry. But if you behave, later on maybe."
"Cool."
We left my house hand in hand over to the neighbors'. I walked up to the first person I saw, with Jake trailing behind me.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan, and your next-door neighbor." I introduced myself to an older man in his mid-thirties with blond hair.
"I'm Carlisle. "he said to me, then he turned to Jacob and asked, "And you're the lucky man who married this little doll?" instantly, I started laughing.
Both men looked at me with surprise.
"No," Jake said. "I'm just her boyfriend… for now," he said with a quick wink.
Instantly, I blushed and took away my hand. Thankfully, another guy walked up, taking the attention away from me. I looked him over head to toe. He was tall and sturdy, with shaggy bronze hair. When Jake saw me looking, he took my hand again. The boy looked at our intertwined hands in disappointment. Then looked up an met our eyes.
"I'm Edward Cullen," he said steadily.
"I'm Jacob," Jake said. Before I could introduce myself, he added, "And this is my girlfriend."
"Bella," I added because I didn't want to look like I was his puppet. Just then, a blond showed up next to Edward and took his hand. Instantly, you could see him relax.
"Well, this is my girlfriend, Rose," he said directly to Jacob. "Rose, this is Bella and Jacob."
"Oh, Bella you are beautiful! We should go shopping together sometime," she said in a rush. "Oh, and you can spend the night tonight so you can meet my older brothers and mom."
"Brothers? But, I thought you were Edward's girlfriend?"
"Not literally. No, they're like my big brothers though," she corrected herself.
"Oh, ok. Sounds like fun." I said.
"Ok, sweet. I have to go set up then," she said as she hurried inside.
"She seems nice," I said to Edward."
"She is perfect," he corrected me.
I opened my mouth to agree, but Jake suddenly said, "Bella, you should ask your dad for permission first. We'll see you guys later," he called as he dragged me back to my house.
"Jake, what was that about? I was getting to know my neighbors. And why were you being so rude to Edward?"
"Because of the way he looked at us like you were too good for me. Which is true, but I still don't like it."
"Aw, you're jealous," I mused.
"So what if I am? Bella, you're the best thing that has happened to me," he confessed.
"Well, don't worry, you won't lose me. I love you and only you. Ok?"
"Ok," he sighed, defeated.

TWO HOURS LATER:
"Hola! Welcome to mi casa," Rose said as she let me in. "I'm still getting ready."
"I can help," I interrupted.
"Oh, goodie! Well, Emmett, Jasper, and Esme will be here in about ten minutes, so could you help me pick up the living room a little?" she asked, hopeful.
"I said I would help didn't I? So, why didn't they come down with the rest of your family?"
"Oh, the boys had to break up with their girlfriends. And Esme stayed to comfort them," she stated. "Good thing, too. 'Cause if the girls here are half as pretty as you, then it wouldn't have lasted long. So, how long have you and Jacob been going out?" she asked, trying to make conversation.
"About two and a half years," I stated.
"Wow! Edward and I have only been going out for a year. Does he live with you?"
"No! Oh, that reminds me. Why do you live with the Cullens? I mean, it must be great, being able to see Edward 24/7, but still?"
"Well, if you can keep a secret, I was their foster kid. My parents beat me, so CPS took me away when I was thirteen, and place me with the Cullens. Instantly, Edward and I were friends. Then they adopted me when we started dating." She said it so evenly, I was surprised.
"I'm sorry to bring up bad memories."
"Oh, water un-"
"We're here!" a booming voice called.
"Eep! That's them. Stay here, I'll be right back," she said. And she wasn't lying. A minute later, three people entered the room. A beautiful woman with a kind smile, a young man with blond hair and a knowing face, but all I could see of the last one was that he was huge with dark, curly hair.
"Guys Guys Guys!" Rose said to calm them down. Once they were listening, she continued. "Bella, this is Jasper, Esme, and the big one over there is Emmett. Guys, this is our neighbor, Bella."
"Bella, what a pretty name," Jasper said, then he looked at me. "And it suits you well," he added, causing me to blush.
"Jas, don't scare the poor girl," Emmett said, stepping out of the shadows.
I looked at him, and he looked at me. Our eyes met, and we gasped at the same time.
WHOO HOO! THE LOOVAHS(lovers) HAVE MET! And the sparks are already flyin! What will become of this? What will happen later tonight? And how does Jake fit into the picture? All will be answered in the next chap, but we want to know your predictions! And i mean more specific than the summary already posted...lol.
EXCUSE FOR TAKING SO DAMN LONG:
Well first, it was gonna be a different chap, but I lost it, a LONG ass time ago, and Emma never re-wrote it. So she just continued on with it, and I didn't know if she was ever gonna write the "other fourth", so I never posted this one. A couple weeks ago, she did re-write it. And was gonna give it to me so I could put it up, that is, until her mom found it! OOPS! So she gave up, and finally decided yesterday to just forget it, and go ahead and post this one. Sorry it took so long, but it's here! and the next couple ones will be worth the wait. (Or, so I'm told) Until then, ttfn!
