Chapter 4

BPV

The rain had lightened to a drizzle by the time I got to work. Since I was already there and I didn't have to pick Tanya up, I gave Jasper a ride with me. Jasper's car was in the shop because someone rear-ended him last week

I had just arrived at work and was talking to Jasper and Edward in the parking lot when a flaming red 2011 Ford mustang peeled in like a bat out of hell blasting "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous" by Good Charlotte. "Emmett C" was scrawled on the vanity license plate. The drivers side door opened up and a tall, dark curly haired man with muscles the size of my head stepped out of the car wearing sun glasses even though it was overcast in a suit that looked like it cost as much as I made in a month. Since Edward looked like he shopped where the rest of us got out work clothes it was hard to believe that they were brothers sometimes.

"What up my peps!" Emmett called strutting over. Emmett was the head of Kate's department. All the new employees thought that Emmett was an arrogant spoiled rich asshole cause of the air he gave off and how he dressed. I knew though that that wasn't the case. Emmett was actually a kind person…he just liked to look like he was rolling in the dough.

" oh hey…not much…so Emmett…where's Rosalie ?" Edward asked. Rosalie Hale was Emmett's blonde, super model like fiancée. They were due to get married in two months. I had only met Rosalie once but she seemed very nice as well. From what I knew Rosalie dealt with the pediatric department…which handled stuff pertaining to little kids.

"she's driving herself today…something about another dress fitting after work or something. She should be here any minute…she left right behind me." Emmett said.

"So are you coming in?" Jasper asked as we started to walk to the entrance.

"No I think I'm going to wait for her…Rose likes that." Emmett said.

"okay!" Edward called. As we reached the door I caught a glimpse of the back of a M3 as whipped into the spot next to Emmett's car. Emmett stuck his head in to talk to the occupant. Considering it had a march of dimes bumper sticker and the license plate read "Babiez 1" it wasn't hard to guess who he was talking to. The entire company knew that car belonged to Rosalie. I also saw Queen Tanya and her disciples whispering and eyeing out the car.

"Not much for subtly is she." Edward said following my gaze.

"Nope." I said shaking my head. Typical Tanya. We then walked in and grabbed the first elevator. Jasper pressed the button and the door shut.

"well good luck today with it today…looks like your going to need it!" Jasper laughed as the elevator stopped. Jasper worked on a different part of our floor. Jasper went left and we went right. The elevator doors opened again right as Jasper disappeared and Tanya's black stiletto heel shoved itself out..

"So usual spot…usual time?" Edward asked.

"okay!" I beamed.

"I think we better run before Tanya se-" Edward started up but it was too late.

"EDDIE…WHAT A COINCIDENCE…I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU!" Tanya called running over and pretending that I wasn't even there. I saw the cringe on Edward's face. You would think that after him telling her eight times not to call him 'Eddie' it would sink in with her.

" I mean we hardly see each other outside work and all so I was wondering if, I don't know ,you would want to get drinks or something later on?" Tanya asked squeezing herself in-between Edward and I. Edward looked like he was stuck in-between a rock and a hard place.

"please don't call me Eddie …and I'm really sorry Tanya…I wish I could…but Emmett and I have to go order tuxes tonight. Maybe another time? " Edward said.

"oh…that's okay…I understand!" Tanya said with a smile on her face. As she walked away though she was mumbling something about a "sham wedding". Edward just stared shocked.

"Does she ever say anything nice…and mean it?" Edward asked. I've asked myself that a lot.

" I'll get back to you on that one." I said.

"BELLA…MY CAPPUCCINO ISN'T GOING TO MAKE ITSELF YOU KNOW…GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND GET GOINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!" Tanya snarled.

"Jesus…one day she's going to pop a blood vessel or something…so I'll see you at lunch." Edward said.

" see ya!" I said as Edward went to his office and I went to serve Tanya. We had made it a habit of getting lunch together ever since the day we met.

Flashback.

BPV

It was my first day at work. I had headed into the cafeteria for lunch and realized that Jasper wasn't there…which meant that I didn't know anybody in here. Well actually I did know one person. I brought a chicken salad sandwich , a snack, and a drink before heading over there.

"Hey Tanya…do you mind if I sit-"

"heh…sorry…reserved." Tanya said in a snobbish tone while placing her legs over the next few seats. I looked at the row across from her.

"Those are too." Tanya said shoving her purse and jacket across the table. I sighed and scanned the room looking for a place to sit. I found an empty table and sat down. I had just taken a bite of my sandwich when I heard a sort of familiar velvet voice ask " do you mind if I sit here?" and I looked up to see the six foot tall, tossed bronze haired god like creature from orientation this morning. I then remembered that his name was Edward. He looked to be around my age. I felt my heartbeat speed up.

" I don't mind!" I said gesturing for him to sit down.

"I'm sorry…its just that my break time just got switched and I haven't been working here that long so I don't know anyone in here…and I don't like to see other people sit alone…CAUSE NOT EVERYONE LIKES TO ACT LIKE THEY'RE STILL IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!" he snarled the last part to Tanya ,who in a pissed off manner, bobbed her head and tapped her index and middle fingers against her thumbs. We then got to talking. I had found out that we were the same age and that he was going for his masters degree (a/n he was given the job with on the condition that he'd get a masters in business).

"you know I'm really sorry we stuck you with her…its just that there was no one else." Edward said as Tanya threw death glares at the table. He didn't even know the half of it. I felt like I was going to be stuck with Tanya forever. Even my job wasn't going to be an escape.

" no its okay…I have to deal with her at home anyways." I mumbled the last part to myself.

"I MEAN LOOK AT THAT HAIR…ITS SO PLAIN…NOT STRAIGHT…NOT CURLY…ITS UGLY…UGHHHH…AND WHAT SHADE OF BROWN IS THAT…DIRT? MUD? I'VE PUKED UP PRETTIER COLORS THEN THAT!" Tanya exclaimed pointing right at me while laughing with her friends. Oh my god…I was mortified…not that he would look at me anyways…but she was ruining any chance of having a friendship with the guy.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM…SHE'S MINDING HER BUSINESS AND YOUR SPOUTING OFF LIKE A JEALOUS THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD!" Edward shouted.

"JEALOUS….DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH….HAHAHAHA!" Tanya laughed like an evil hyena.

"I'll make sure I never do that again." Edward cringed.

"You know…as soon as another spot opens up I can transfer you so that you don't have to work for her any more." Edward offered.

Two months later

I was stuffing …uh my pay check …in my purse when a transfer order from Edward for Bella crossed my desk. Apparently there was a temporary personal assistant coming in and another position was opening up. Aww Eddie was trying to help his little Bellie out…over my dead body was that going to happen! Hum lets look over the assistants background information…clean as a whistle…not for long! Besides I knew lots of people who needed jobs right now…sorry Rebbecca…looks like your not going to be temping here…not in my department at least. I cackled as I went to work…hum lets see…a Battery charge sounds perfect. Beat the shit out a former employee…again perfect.

"Hey Tanya…whatever happened to that temp you were supposed to get?" Edward asked a few weeks later.

"Oh Eddie…you should really of done a better background check…we cant have felons working for the company!" I said grinning internally.

"Really…'cause when I did a background check it was clean?" Edward asked suspiciously.

"Sometimes Eddie…you gotta dig a little deeper." I said.

"Right." Edward said looking at me weirdly. After that little incident I made sure to promptly interfere whenever he tried to help his little Bell-Bell out. A few minor changes to some background information and a slight "accident" involving me…a potential temp …and a stair case later and word started to get around that the job position was haunted. Needless to say that ended the stream of temps trying to get that job. Tanya -1...Losers-0. I really did have it all…Beauty and brains.

I was watching Tanya staring at herself and laughing like a psycho. Something is seriously wrong with that girl. I was beginning to wonder whether she was an actual psychopath.

"I'm so beautiful!" Tanya sighed staring at herself. Not that Tanya was ugly but she was no Megan Fox either. A psychiatrist friend of mine said that she had narcissistic personality disorder with psychotic tendencies. I started quietly singing "Your so Vain"

"Bella who sings that song?" Tanya asked annoyed

"Uh Carly Simon?" I asked.

"Yeah…lets keep it that way." Tanya said walking away bitchily.

End of Flashback

I was handing the bitch her third cup of coffee of the morning. Seriously the amount of coffee she was drinking was probably why she was blocking up all the toilets. But my job was to make Queen Tanya happy so I had to get her whatever she wanted, even if it meant plunging another toilet later. Tanya disappeared into the bathroom thirty minutes later. I was at my desk when Tanya strode out with toilet paper hanging from her pants. From the looks of it she didn't even know it was there.

"Bella…call maintenance…somebody clogged the toilet." Tanya said striding past me. I groaned and picked up the phone.

"hi This is Bella Swan…I'm calling because the woman's room on the 12th floor has a clog …the woman's rest room that's located to the right of the elevator." I said.

"we'll be up." the man said. When the maintenance man arrived he and Tanya got into a fight.

"YOU. NEED TO GET YOUR BOWELS CHECKED…THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH THAT I'VE HAD TO CLEAN UP A TOILET THAT YOU CLOGGED!" the man snarled at Tanya when he saw her.

"EXCUSE ME…HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME…I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Tanya growled offended.

"WE HAVE YOU ON VIDEO TAPE…WE HAVE A HALF HOUR TIME DISCREPANCY BETWEEN YOU ENTERING THE BATHROOM AND YOU LEAVING…AND THEN A CLOG FOLLOWING RIGHT AFTER. WE KNOW IT WAS YOU! SERIOUSLY…SEE A DOCTOR OR SOMETHING!" the man growled.

"YOU WERE WATCHING ME ON CAMERA …HOW PERVERTED …AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S ILLEGAL TO INSTALL VIDEO CAMERAS IN A WOMENS BATHROOM!" Tanya hissed pissed.

"don't flatter yourself sweetheart…and the cameras were on the outside." the man said.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN DON'T FLATTER MYSELF…I'M FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!" Tanya said still highly offended.

"Well your colon obviously isn't…get it checked!" The maintenance man said storming off angrily. At that point I heard someone clear their throat. We turned to see Edward standing there like he had heard everything. Tanya looked mortified. Edward looked angry/ amused.

"oh my god Edward I didn't see you standing there…why didn't you say something about how that man was treating me!" Tanya said.

"Say something about how that man talked to you…I want to say something about how you talked to that man…and everyone around you-" Edward started up.

"WHAT IS THIS…HATE ON TANYA DAY…WHATEVER I HAVE WORK TO DO!" Tanya said slamming the door in our faces.

"you know how many times I've tried to get her fired…but my dad thinks she's this and she's that because she's a different person in front of him. Rosalie's even tried to talk to him but he wont hear it." Edward said shaking his head. A woman then made to go into the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door and was hit by the smelly cloud that emanated out of the bathroom. It was enough to make your eyes sting. The maintenance man was yelling that this bathroom was off limits.

"Ugh guess I know who was in there last!" the woman gagged running off to the other woman's room. Edward and I tried not to laugh. Just then bitch-zilla roared again.

"BELLA MOVE YOUR ASS AND GET ME MY FRUIT SALAD THIS INSTANT!"

"Geez it's a wonder she hasn't screamed herself horse by now." Edward said glaring at Tanya's door. An ice blue eye glared through the crack of the door.

"I know." I said rolling my eyes and getting her royal highness what she wanted. Arriving at the elevator I realized it was broken so I headed for the nearest set of stairs. I quickly grabbed one from the cafeteria and meticulously inspected for anything she might not like. After I dubbed it clear I dropped it off on her desk.

"Took ya long enough" was all Tanya said

"Sorry…the elevator was broken. I had to use the stairs."

"Excuses…excuses…cant eat this since its almost lunch now." Tanya said snidely while dumping it in her waist paper basket. I knew that this was something "Mother" was going to be made aware of, which meant things were going to get interesting at home tonight. I met up with Edward about an hour later for lunch. We had just gotten our food when Tanya ran into us.

"Oh Eddie I was looking for you…I just wanted to say how sorry I was for what happened upstairs. I was having a bad day." that was her idea of a bad day. Wait a minute…Tanya never apologizes. Something's definitely up.

"Uh its okay…we all have one of those days." Edward said in a shocked/weirded out voice.

"Thank-you!' Tanya beamed.

"its definitely in the bag…I'm so going to be a Mrs. Cullen…look out little Rosalie….Tanya's going to be right behind you." Tanya whispered menacingly though Edward didn't catch it. Was this girl out of her fucking mind…she's as close to being Mrs. Edward Cullen as pigs are to randomly sprouting wings out of their asses. We then took our seats and got to talking about the rest of the day. I stared into his smoky green eyes and was lost in them. For a split second I thought there was hope from the way he looked back at me. Then reality came crashing back in the form of Tanya ordering me to get her a baked pretzel and strip all the salt off of it. As I said before…he was way out of my league. He slept with supermodels…I slept with rodents.

"So anyways…yeah avoid the woman's bathroom in my department…the perverts installed cameras in there…wouldn't be shocked if they did it on your floors as well…peeping assholes…disgusting…a girl cant even use the bathroom in peace anymore…and the man had the nerve to tell me that I spent too long in there and that the clog is my fault. Complete and total jackass…ugh makes me sick to even talk about it. If this were my company I would have his ass on a platter." Tanya said as I placed the pretzel down. She inspected it thoroughly.

"are you blind? you left three pieces!" Tanya growled flicking the pieces off herself. I shook my head.

" so anyways where was I…so I told him how much of a creep he was and that what he was doing was illegal…and he had the nerve to say that I wasn't gorgeous…uh ple-ase! I bet I'm ten times hotter then anything he's seen!" Tanya said with her posse nodding their heads in agreement.

"Oh Tanya…don't let that bother you…half the guys here salivate over your every movement." one of the girls said feeding the egotist.

A few hours later it was time to head home. Edward, Tanya, and I made it to the elevator at the same time . Jasper was the last in before the door closed. Tanya had dropped back was having a quiet conversation with her friend. Judging from the pointing I knew what they were talking about. Jasper caught wind through the reflective surfaces and turned around.

"Hey Tanya…didn't see ya there…so I heard you clogged the toilet again ay…you know that's not healthy…maybe you should get checked or something." Jasper said spreading the biggest, fakest smile I had ever seen and turning around. Hints of laughter twinkled in his eyes. Alice was definitely rubbing off on him. The other 20 people in the elevator burst out laughing and Tanya looked horrified.

"Shut up Casper!" Tanya growled.

"its Jasper." Jasper corrected.

"Whatever…Jasper, Casper, Plaster…whatever the hell your name is…you don't know what the hell your talking about…so shut it." Tanya said pissed.

" Tanya…I heard you fighting with the janitor and I smelt the evidence all the way from my office. Geez what did you eat Taco Bell for breakfast or something! The whole floor knew it was you…hell the way you were screaming the whole world knew." Jasper said cockily as the elevator doors opened again. Tanya looked like she was about to say something but she got lost in the crowd behind us as we stepped out.

" so giving it a ride home again?" Jasper asked.

"yep." I answered.

"Bella you know what I'm going to say…I know she's your step sister and everything…but that is the definition of a freak…look it…she's making kissy faces to her compact mirror. She's nuts!" Jasper said pointing to Tanya, who smacked her lips three times at her reflection before closing it and strutting over.

"Come along Bells…say goodbye to Jester." Tanya said snottily.

"Jasper…JAS-PER…is Jester even a name?" Jasper corrected pissed.

"WHAT-EVER…COMMON BELLS…I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WAIT WHILE YOU TALK TO ALICE AGAIN!" Tanya said grabbing my arm and dragging me out the door.

" you drive so slow!" Tanya moaned as we got into the truck. Well unlike Tanya's car…mine was an antique…I wanted to take care of it. When we arrived at the house Irena was sitting outside with a disgusted look on her face.

"Ooh your in tro-uble…wonder what you screwed up now!" Tanya said sadistically while an evil grin crossed her face as Irena grilled the car

"BELLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA!" Irina roared sounding like the older version of Tanya. I groaned…looks like this was going to be one hell of an evening.
