Bella's POV
"Where in the hell are we going to put all of this?" I asked no one in particular while throwing my hands in the air.
"Oh, stop being a drama queen, Bella. The faster we get this done, the better. I can't wait until they get here. Besides, Alice and I already did most of the work. You just have to pack up your stuff now." Rosalie explained throwing some more knick-knacks into a box.
I gave a huff and turned back to my box. "Could you at least tell me something about this Edward? That's his name right? Kind of old-fashioned don't you think?"
"Yeah I guess. Their parents must like those kind of names, Emmett's is the same And don't tell me that you don't like the name Edward, don't you have a crush on that medical student at the hospital? He's name's Edward right? But this Edward is really quiet. I mean when he's not at school or work, he's usually in his room listening to music or something." She explained.
I'm more like completely in love, but yeah. And this guy sounds like a total nerd.
"He kind of reminds me of you. Oh! And he's really cute, but don't tell Emmett I said that, he gets jealous!" She added with a laugh.
This kind of set me back. "So are we the same in the fact that we're both cute or that he seems a little anti-social?" He's probably some nerd that lives for D&D tournaments and spends his weekends reading comics.
She let out a deep breath. "I don't know Bella, you two are just a lot alike, I guess. He's also single…" she let on.
"Well, thank you, Cupid. I don't think I will be getting together with him anytime soon, he is Emmett's brother after all. They must share some sort of the same genes." This earned me a scowl.
"You're so mean, Bella." She said playfully.
"WHAT?!"
We both ran out of the room and into the hallway trying to find the source of the yell, and soon found that it was coming from Alice's room.
"Ooh, Alice must have told Jasper about the living 'situation'." Rose speculated.
In the same second, both of them emerged from the room arguing with each other.
"But, it's not like anything will happen, Jasper! I'm in love with you and no one else! I would never think about doing anything with either of them." Alice tried to explain to a fuming Jasper while latching onto his arm.
He brought his free hand up and wiped it over his face. "It's not you I'm worried about, Alice. How am I supposed to feel about my girlfriend, sister, and pseudo-sister sharing an apartment with two guys? I know the workings of the mind of a man in his 20s; trust me, I'm one of them. And I'm not just going to sit around and watch this happen."
"Ah, Jazzy. Please, nothing will happen I swear it! Plus, Emmett is staying in Rosalie's room and Edward is going to be staying on the second floor in the farthest room away from mine!" Alice's patience was starting to wear down.
He closed his eyes and starting rubbing his temples with his fingers—a sure sign that he was frustrated. After a few moments of deep breathing, a smile started to creep across his face.
"Alright, but you're going to have to get rid of some of your stuff." He said calmly. Alice's face dropped in shock. No one told Alice to get rid of anything…ever.
"W-w-why do I need to get rid of my stuff?" She asked completely in shock.
He gave a soft chuckle, "Well, there simply isn't enough space in that mall you call a closet for my stuff so you will need to downsize."
"What in the hell are you talking about?" Rosalie asked, giving away our spot of seclusion.
"As I said before—which I'm sure you two nosy ones heard," he started smoothly, "I am not just going to sit around and let these guys move in. And since you don't care about my opinion, I am doing the only other logical thing, and moving in too."
All three of is just stared at him for a few minutes, not saying a word.
"Okay, I'm now going to leave you three alone to help Alice make some room and I'll be back with my stuff around seven." He told us while walking to the front door.
"Goodbye my love, until we meet again." And with that, he gave Alice a peck on the cheek and turned on his heel to walk out of the door.
"So I guess Jasper is moving in too." Alice stated walking to her room. Awesome, six people in a four bedroom apartment, this is going to work out just great. Thank God we decided to get the two story duplex.
Emmett's POV (Yes, you read that right, it is Emmett's. Now Cassie can leave me alone!)
I walked into the hotel room only to be greeted by the sound of running water. Hum, Edward must be in the shower. Time to go mess with him! As I approached the bathroom door, I faintly heard the sound of him singing into the shower head, God, he's worse than a teenage girl. In the next moment, I kicked open the door with a slam.
"Who the fuck are you?!" I screamed throwing open the shower curtain, revealing my very naked brother.
"Holy Shit!" I heard him shout before he fell into the tub with a thump.
"Ha Ha! Sorry little brother. I just couldn't help myself. You're just so easy." I bellowed through my laughs.
He turned the water off and reached out to grab a towel before wrapping it around his body. Standing up slowly, he gave me a death glare and rubbed his tail bone.
"For the love of all that is holy, Emmett. You nearly gave me a heart attack!" He said steaming.
"Oh relax! I was just kidding around with you. Besides, you're a doctor, you'd be alright if something major were to happen." I told him walking into the living area.
"I'm not a doctor yet! I still have another year." He shouted from the bathroom.
I took a look around the room realizing that he didn't even start repacking yet. He is so lazy. Oh well, I am too. And with that I booted up my laptop and started to configure some new software I was currently working on. He came out from the bathroom twenty minutes later dressed in his clinical scrubs.
"You got clinicals today, McDreamy?" I asked not tearing my eyes away from my screen.
He let out a loud grunt and proceeded to get ready. "Please, do not call me that! It's bad enough that the nurses say it, please not you too." I had nearly died from laughter when he had told me that the nurses started calling him that after the character on Gray's Anatomy.
"I'm just kidding little bro. So I see you got a lot of packing done." I said sarcastically gesturing to the pile on the floor.
"I was just waiting for you to get here. You know, so we could have some brotherly bonding." He explained while landing a punch on my arm.
"I think I've seen enough of you today to suffice for bonding." I said shutting down the computer. I can deal with that later, my deadline was still more than a week away and I wanted to move in with Rosie as soon as possible, and that would require getting everything packed up. It's not that I wanted to move into their apartment really badly, I just really hate hotel rooms. I mean, how many people have slept in these beds before? Disgusting.
"So are you going to tell me about my roommates or do I have to wait to meet them?" He asked sorting through the mess. I finished taping up my now full box. "Well, if I was being fair, I would make you wait…but I'm not that mean." I shivered.
"Ugh, that bad huh?" He asked before dumping some more stuff in another box.
"No, not really. I think I just shocked them this morning when I walked in the kitchen with just Rosie's pink robe on and nothing else." I explained.
He went to pack up his compositions and keyboard acting like he was still listening. "Well, that certainly sounds like an excellent first impression."
We talked for a few more minutes until he realized that he needed to leave for the hospital.
"Just call when you get done." I told him as he walked to the door. "Rosalie said that they might get everything ready today since none of them have to work. So, we might just be able to move everything in tonight." The sooner we get out of this hotel, the better.
He answered with a nod of his head and stalked out. I always wondered if he could read my mind, he seemed to always answer the thoughts in my head. A let out a sigh and turned to finish packing everything up.
SHE GOT HER OWN THING. THAT'S WHY I LOVE HER. MISS INDEPENDENT, OOH THE WAY YOU SHINE. MISS INDEPENDENT.
Awesome, she finally picked a ringtone, and Ne-Yo, good choice. Hot song too, definitely describes her. I flipped open my phone to verify that is was her calling.
"Sup, Rosie? How are you, love of my life?" I heard her give a soft giggle. I love that sound, but there are a few more sounds that come from her that I love more.
"Good. I just called to see how you were. How did Edward take the news?" She asked nervously. She finally admitted to me at some point in our relationship that she didn't think Edward liked her, especially because he didn't swoon over her from the moment he saw her.
"He seemed okay with everything I guess. He's so cryptic I can't really tell what he's thinking." I answered honestly.
"Well that's good…I think. So when am I going to see you again?" She asked seductively—ooh, another one of my favorite sounds, Rose's sex voice. Snap out of it, Emmett.
I gave a chuckle. "Am I just so sexy that you can't go two hours without seeing me? And to answer your question, probably within an hour. We've already got most of the stuff packed, now we just need a place to put it."
"Okay, so you should be able to move in tonight. Alice and I have most of the room cleaned and Bella just got back from class. So it should be ready by the time you get here." Good, I might have enough time to get some more work down on that software. Because as soon as I am officially moved in, I will NOT be thinking about getting that done.
"Alright, I'm just going to finish everything up here then I'll give you a call and head on over."
"Sounds great! Is Edward coming with you?"
I shook my head before I realized she couldn't see me. "Nope, he's at his clinicals right now. He's going to call me when he's headed this way to see where I'm at."
There was a pause… "Clinicals? At what hospital?"
Why would she want to know what hospital? "St. John's, why?"
"Uh…um…N-no reason. Hey I've got to go! I'll talk to you later! Love you, bye!" She rushed off.
"Okay, Lo—" Dial tone. That was strange. Why did she just rush off like that? Oh well, I'll just have to ask her about it later.
Edward's POV
I slammed my locker and leaned my forehead against it. This has been a day straight from the fiery pits of hell. Why did I have to help the one doctor in this hospital that had a lisp so bad that he practically showered every one of his patients when he talked to them? I didn't learn anything today; in fact, I spent most of my day apologizing and cleaning up said patients for him. I grabbed my jacket and turned to walk to my car.
"Bye, McDr-Edward!" the nurse said from the station, I think her name was Jessica, maybe Julia, I really didn't care enough to really find out. Oh the nurses. Another reason today was so horrible; Bella wasn't working today. She always manages to get a smile on my face even on the darkest of days. I really should make the effort to get to know her more, maybe ask her out for coffee after our shifts one night.
"Bye, Jennifer." I answered back walking swiftly around the corner.
"It's Jessica…" I could almost hear the pity in her voice.
I stomped through the parking lot and found my most prized possession, my beautiful Volvo. I know it seems a little practical for a guy in his 20s but what can I say? I love the thing. It also doesn't hurt that Emmett and I souped it up so that it can reach 150 mph easily.
I started her up and was immediately immersed in the sounds of Debussy. I'm so grateful that I bought this sound system too. But I'll have to enjoy that later, right now I need to find out where Emmett is.
I pulled out the silver phone and quickly dialed the number.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Damn it, Emmett, pick up the phone. Ring. Ring.
"What do you want Edward? I'm kind of in the middle of something here." He asked breathless.
Lord, it's not even 6:00 yet. "Well, put your pants back on and tell me where in the hell I'm going." I answered more sharply than I had meant to.
"Whoa calm down there, Tonto. I'm over at the new apartment, are you on your way?"
"Yeah, just got off of work. What's the address?" This town was small enough where I knew about where every street in it was. He quickly gave me the address and said that he needed to excuse himself and that he'll see me when I got there. I let out a chuckle and snapped the phone shut. He may drive me crazy, but he is my big brother.
It took fifteen minutes to finally pull up to what I thought was the apartment complex, Emmett hadn't said anything about it being a duplex. This fact had me a little bit relived, at least we weren't going to be living on top of one another, and it did have two stories. I was immediately confirmed in my suspicions when I noticed Emmett's massive jeep in the spot next to Rosalie's M3.
I parked my car and went to the trunk to grab what few possessions that Emmett couldn't fit and take with him. Luckily, the door was facing the front, so I walked up and gave a steady knock on it.
"Coming!" A female voice yelled through the door.
The sound of running footsteps grew louder and louder as the approached the door, then I heard a loud thump, almost as if the person had fallen over.
I immediately opened the unlocked door and was met with the sight of a beautiful angel sprawled out with her face. She went to pull herself up on her shaky arms but nearly collapsed but I managed to reach out to help her before she met the tile once again. She turned to look at me with her beautiful doe eyes and I could feel the smile spread across my face.
"Bella?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: See?? I told everyone that I would have this chapter out quickly and look here it is!! And I apologize for the view changes so much.
