Chapter 4: Small world
Still starring at his head I jump when Emmet yells "Edward!"
Edward turns his head and looks straight me before focusing on Emmet. Taking a huge gulp of my whiskey, which burns in my mouth and throat as I choke it down I try to settle my nerves. What the hell was going on with me? Why does he always make me this nervous wreck? I know I'm not the most confident girl but I had always been able to hold my own with men.
"Miss Swan" he says effectively bringing me out of my thoughts. I look up then and notice Emmet's grin is know gone it's been replaced by a really confused pout and realize that Edwards face looks much the same.
EmPOV
I was just taking care of some accounts and serving some clients when I see Bella seat herself at the bar, she's looking around the bar and I know she is looking at the monitors. Grabbing a glass, two cubes of ice and the best whiskey I make my way to her "whiskey on the rocks" I say placing the drink in front of her, Bella looks up from her phone. "Emmet? What the fuck are you doing here?" she asks looking at me like i've grown another head or something; she says some more shit and stares.
"It's nice to see you too cuz" I say sarcastically and laugh; I haven't seen her in over a year. But that year had served her well, she had always been pretty even if she never realized it but know, know she was a beautiful brunette who could not only cut your balls off but could also make turn them blue if she so wished. I doubted she would ever do that to a guy willingly, seeing as she has always been a shy girl. She says something about me being huge and I grin like a little boy. I used to be this skinny little thing but last year something happened and I finally grew a couple of inches. As the inches set in I hit the gym; I could understand her shock it had been my same reaction. She asks yet again what i'm doing here and I worry for her sanity I mean I am standing behind the bar.
"I work here Bells, hello that's why i'm behind the bar" I say voicing my thoughts and showing her my concern for her state of mind. The conversation then turns to were i'm staying but I'm interrupted by some customer and I go to them motioning to Bella to give me a sec. Serving a couple of drink and taking care of some bills I finally get back to Bella. She expresses her concern for my financials seeing as renting an apartment around here is almost suicide if you aren't corporate. "Oh yeah I know! But that's why I have a roommate" I say and point to were Edward is sitting before calling out to him. He's a cool dude I met him in college my first year we became fast friend when I had said I wanted to move out here he suggested we share an apartment since he was also coming this way. He explained that he would be interning at his uncle's company and had already checked and knew that there was no way he would be able to pay for an apartment on his own.
"Miss Swan" Edward says courtly and i'm confused he know Bells? How the hell does he know bells? Bella looks up then and I notice half her drink is missing did she just choke down whiskey? The questions just kept coming.
"Mason" Bella replies in a small hoarse voice confirming that she had indeed chocked down her drink witch was odd since Bella was more of an appreciate the drink kind of girl.
"Ed? What the hell, you know Bella?" I ask and it seems to be my turn to be the one asking obvious questions.
"Yes Emmet" he says "Miss Swan works for my uncle as Rosalie's secretary" he said.
"Damn Bells that sucks!" Edward had told me about Rosalie he had told me how his uncle was pushing him to make friends with her and how he had insinuated more than once that it be great if there could be something more between them. But he had also told me what a huge bitch she was and how he was more than tired of her advances.
"You know Rose?" Bella looks truly confused.
"No Edward told me about her" I answer cousin her to turn to him and stare with that confused look still plastered on her face; Edward shooting daggers at me with his eyes.
"How do you know Miss Swan Emmet?" Edward asks.
"She is my cousin, on my mom's side." I state moving away again to tend to the people around the bar. When I come back there is a twenty on the counter under Bella's know empty cup.
"She said she needed to go, she left you her number on the napkin and said you should call her soon and a twenty since she didn't know how much her drink was" Edward says to me shrugging when I look at him.
"Edward is something going on between you and Bella?" I ask because for some reason I've always had an ability to sense this things and there was definitely something here.
"No!" he says with a bit of an edge on his voice "I'm calling it a night Em how much do I owe you?"
Paying his bill he exits the bar what the hell was going on? And how small could this world be? That my roommate knows my cousin and that she works for the same company?

Ugh this was not happening! The day had gone by so well I had decided to celebrate. Leaving the office at five on the dot I had walked to Forks the restaurant/bar a couple of blocks down from work and my apartment. It was still early and the doors were open to the public I made my way to the bar to see Emmet my roommate who was the bartender I had dinner and then settled in for some serious drinking. All was going well till I heard Emmet call my name only to look and find Isabella sitting there at the bar in front of Em. What the hell? Why was she here? Why was she talking to Emmet? Getting up from my booth I made my way to the bar and to her.
"Miss Swan" was the only thing I could get out.
"Mason" she had said in a low throaty voice which sounded a bit strained. Was she okay? She looked a little flustered. Emmet then continued to ask very obvious questions which only bothered me since I knew him to be a smart mother fucker. I answer some shit about Bella working for Rosalie and flinch I had told Emmet about her and we both sort of hated her. This becomes very obvious when he expresses how sorry he is about her having to work for her. When Bella asked about Rosalie and I knew I was fucked I tried to look at Emmet to warn him not to say anything but of course he wasn't looking at me when he tells Bella I had told him about her. Needing to divert the conversation I ask Emmet how he knows Bella he hadn't ever mentioned a girlfriend but he was a sneaky bastard so who knows.
"She is my cousin, on my mom's side." He says and moves away to tend to his clients. I turn to the sound of a glass hitting the bar Bella is grimacing having just chocked the rest of her drink which had looked like whiskey.
Frowning slightly I open my mouth to say something but she cuts me of by saying "I have to go" she quickly pulls out a twenty and a pen from her bag. Grabbing the napkin she scribbles something on it and tucks it under her now empty glass along with the twenty. "I have to go" she says again "please tell Emmet to give me a call when he has a break. Goodnight Mr. Mason I'll see you on Monday" with that she hoped of her bars stool and left. Not being able to resist I looked at the napkin to find that she had left him her number pulling out my phone I quickly store it.
Emmet makes his way back to the end of the bar were we had been sitting and looked at me while I explained her leaving. He then asked me if there was something going on between me and Isabella and I was a bit to hasty on replaying no and wasn't able to keep my resentment at that statement completely out of my voice. I decided to call it a night if I stayed there I knew I wouldn't be able to resist asking him about her; just like with Jasper.
When had this happened? When had I become completely obsessed with a girl I didn't even know? Replaying the night's events and the weeks as well, I lay fully awake in bed. Knowing full well I should be resting I had big plans for tomorrow and then a business dinner with the family and the Hales.
Do not worry next chapter is all Edward POV and it gets interesting! Sorry if this chapter was a bit confusing but I love Emmet and I really wanted to show this side of him that side that sees right thru people and their bull. He won't come up often for now but he will definitely have his moments and some more POVS as well as some of the other characters. Really hope you liked this one let me know by reviewing!
