A/n. hey guys! I am so sorry it's been so long since my last update but I just haven't found inspiration or time! And I just broke up with my boyfriend so I really do not feel like writing a love story! But because I love you I'm going to keep writing this and not let you down ;) pleaaasse review and tell me if you even like what your reading!
Slowly he pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear.
"I love you"
I wanted to pull back to look in his eyes if he was being honest or not, but I was afraid of what I might see there. Instead I turn my head towards his neck and biting the sensitive area there softly before slowly moving my head up to his ear and whispering
"I love you, more then you know."
"FUCK YES; EDDIE IS GOING TO GET LAID!"
What. The. Fuck
I turn around and see Emmett standing there with the biggest eat shit grin on his face. I had almost forgotten how loud and over the top he can be.
Rose smacks him over the head with a perfectly manicured hand but it doesn't even bother him. I suddenly realise how much I miss them all especially Emmett. He was practically a big brother although he wouldn't show it around his mates. But I knew whenever I needed him he would be there. And rose, she was my rock the one who I could always depend on and I know even know she would open me back with open arms. I even missed Carlisle and Esme! They were always there when Rose made me detour past there house and I would be sitting there doing my homework at the kitchen bench. Esme always made sure there were a fresh batch of cookies for me and Carlisle saw me so frequently because I always ended up in the emergency ward. They were the family I never had.
But they weren't the only ones who mattered anymore; there was someone else who was crucial to my life.
Jake.
This PDA was going to hurt him more then I knew. I carefully look back over to the spot where I was standing just two minutes ago and see him with this look on his face that made me want to crumple because I can't be this happy if he is that sad. With one last look at my family I walk over to him and just pull him in to my arms and press my head into his chest and listen to his heart beat knowing that he firmly believes that it's me behind every single one. He leans down and detaches himself from me
"Be happy Bella. That's all I've ever wanted remember?"
I look up at his eyes with tears in my own. I know he means every single word he says even though it's going to tear him down on the inside. I loved him I truly did. But I wasn't in love with him the same way I was with Edward.
I turned around and stood back with the fellow employees forgetting that we haven't even been welcomed by our new employers yet. Well it's going to be an awkward few hours now with all the stares I'm getting. I looked over as Carlisle was starting his speech.
"Hello and welcome everyone. My name is Carlisle Cullen and I am the proud new owner of this fine establishment. Now I know a lot of you are worried about keeping your jobs but don't worry I am not planning on firing anyone unless they have given me a reason to. Now please let me introduce the rest of my family to you..."
"This is my lovely wife Esme" he told us as he walked over and gave her a kiss on the lips and an adoring look. It was good to see they were still as in love as they were when I left. He then walked over to Edward
"This is my son Edward. And as you can all see he is taken, sorry ladies!"
I flashed a brilliant red as everyone looked at me and laughed. Some girls actually looked disappointed that he was taken. I didn't know whether to be proud that he was my... what? What was Edward to me? He used to be my boyfriend but I think that ended when I left. He said he was in love with me but that didn't mean he was my boyfriend did it? Were we just friends that happened to be in love? Or was he still my boyfriend? Carlisle seemed to think so…
Edward was staring at me while I was having this mini debate with myself it was clear he was having the same problem. I guess he would have to figure that out between ourselves later.
Carlisle then walked over to Emmett and Rose next
"And last this is my other son Emmett"
When Emmett was introduced he flashed us all a cheeky smile and winked at us. Yeap still the same Emmett. I couldn't help myself but to laugh as did the rest of us girls.
"And his beautiful fiancée Rosalie"
WHAT! Did he just say fiancée? I can't believe Rose wouldn't have told me! Sure we weren't exactly speaking but she did send the occasional email to update me what was going on back home, and clearly this is the type of news you tell your only little sister!
I stared at her with an unbelieving look and sure enough she quickly and privately flashed me her Harry Winston. My older sister, my only role model was engaged to her high school sweetheart. How did that happen? I knew they were pretty serious but before Emmett, Rose was definitely not a one guy type of girl. Now she was engaged at the age of 20. Wow things had changed. I quickly listened to the end of Carlisle talk.
"Now you know who we are, I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of you and I hope we all have a good professional future together!
With that the Cullen family walked off to explore the rest of their new house. Emmett came back outside and called me over. I was shocked, I know he were friends but he never went out of his way to talk to me.
"Bella? Uh hey, I don't know how to put this but, I fucking missed you kid!"
"Haha! Hey Em. Yeah you could say that I kinda fucking missed you to!"
"Yeah whatever! Anyway I wanted to talk to you, because my family, myself included really don't really feel comfortable with my fiancées little sister working for us? Oh and not to mention the love of my brother's life!"
"Oh, does this mean I'm fired?"
"WHAT! NO! Unless you want to quit… It just means that we would rather you came and lived with us instead of working for us? You would have your bank account with a monthly payment just like the rest of us are receiving so money wouldn't be a problem… but it's completely up to you, we just don't want you working in our garden every day. I know I wouldn't be able to treat my future sister in law like an employee and that's not fair on everyone else!"
"Okay yeah I can see how this is going to be awkward. But I came here to get away from your lifestyle and I kind of love it! And it would most likely be awkward between your brother and me if I was to move in; we haven't really had time to have that talk yet? Do you get it? Anyway yeah I'll stop working here but I'll continue living with my dad and get a job somewhere else."
When I told him I wasn't going to move in his face just dropped. Almost like he was going to run away from them again. I never really realised how much my move would of hurt all of them not just Edward. They believed me to be family, and I had just abandoned them. I made a silent promise that the Cullen family would never feel that pain from me again.
"Hey chin up bro! I'm going to be around here catching up with everyone so often that you're going to be sick of me!" I said as I gave him a light punch on the arm.
His face lit up like a child on Christmas morning. Suddenly before I knew what was happening he lifted me and swung me around in the air. I had my arms wrapped around his neck holding trying to hold on for dear life. But I didn't think what it would look like to the other staff around us.
"Jeez Swan, isn't one Cullen good enough for you? Now you're going after the other one as well, don't you know his engaged? And to your sister? I guess some people really would stop at nothing for money right." I looked over to see Lauren Mallory sneering at me.
Emmett looked like he was about to say something that he probably shouldn't say. But I stopped him because if I knew one thing it would be that if you reply to anything Lauren Mallory says to you it's going to be taken out of context and will turn around and haunt you.
She had been making my life hell since I moved here. Lauren was in love with Jake, Jake was in love with me and I was in love with Edward. You can see how this gets confusing right? Lauren had been after me ever since I started here because Jake and I were closer after one day then he and Lauren were after 6 months of working together. I really couldn't care if Jake liked her, he would be with her but he didn't and wasn't. I often wondered why she couldn't get the picture, I honestly felt sorry for the next girl Jake had honest feelings for and she returned them.
I just greased Lauren off and continued walking to the house with Emmett. As soon as I entered Rose squealed and run up to me and starting babbling without even taking a breath
"Oh my god Bella! I just heard you're moving in with us! This is perfect we can be sisters and everything again! I can't wait, I have so much to tell you and I just can't wait to be sisters again! I have to tell Alice and Angela, I'm still best friends with them you know! Even Angela! "
"Okay, slow down, I'm not moving in here but I will be around one hell of a lot so yeah we're going to be sisters again Rose and I would love to catch up with Angela and Alice I have missed all of you so much!"
When I looked around everyone was with their significant partners I felt a massive hole where my heart used to be, even though my prince charming had returned to me, he still wasn't mine. But he will be. I have never wanted something so much. Edward Cullen will be my boyfriend.
Just as I made this pact with myself I was spun around and found myself once again staring into the face of my angel.
"Bella, come out with me tonight?" he asked me with complete sincerity
"Of course"
A/n next up Bella and Edward's date!
Okay I hate it when other author's do this buut….
