Author's Note: Well here is the next chapter. I figured out a way to get the story besides copying and pasting. Thank god cause I still probably wouldn't be done.
Chapter 7
Thursday 5:15pm. I shut my phone and slid it into one of the couch cushions in the lounge. I kept it there during surgeries. I usually always kept it there but recently something had changed that. I walked down the hospital hallway.
The last few days had flown by. Between work and school I had been pretty busy. The hospital had gotten more patients in. I think because school is out, people get hurt more. I have no idea why. I'm out of school for the summer now tho so at least that's a plus.
And of course texting and talking to Edward Cullen. He was the only one, other then people I worked with, that I had been able to talk to. Technically speaking, I had made sure I made time for him but I mean, wouldn't anybody?
I hadn't even told Alice yet. I had tried to text her on Tuesday when I had a minute but she had been at school.
Edward hadn't said that he had told Jasper that we had been talking. Good lord, I hope Jasper doesn't know and him tell Alice before I can.
She'll kill me if she finds out I've been talking to Edward and not telling her all about it. Alice is small but you don't wanna upset her. I walked over to the nurses station to check the chart.
A car crash victim needed surgery. The surgery would take 97 minutes.
My beeper went off. I headed to the OR.
Edward's POV:
I was sitting on top of one of the picnic tables at work. Jasper walked over.
"I thought you'd be on the phone." I commented. He usually called Alice about now on Thursdays.
"Oh, she's at work for another few minutes." he said, sitting down next to me. I nodded. Emmett walked over, looking confused.
"I think Judy is mad at me." Emmett said. Judy is Emmett's sometimes girlfriend. This month anyway. Emmett is one of my best friends, he's like my brother, but even I will say he's a player. I've done my fair share of messing around but never quite like Emmett.
"Why?" Jasper asked.
"I kinda told her I would call her after the game the other night." he explained as he sat down on the bench next to where our feet were.
"And you didn't?" I questioned.
"I don't think so." he said, trying to remember.
"It wouldn't surprise me if you forgot after all the damn whiskey you drink." I commented.
"Well, I've tried to call her since then but no luck. That was almost 5 days ago." Emmett said.
"Maybe you should apologize?" I said.
"That won't work." Emmett said, seeming sure of it. I shook my head.
"Cullen, you don't even have a woman, you haven't had one for awhile so I'm not taking advice from you, man. Plus you have to keep the women at bay. Sex, occasional dates enough to keep them satisfied, other then in the bedroom obviously, but no serious feelings. That's something you haven't done in awhile." Emmett said.
"Oh speaking of women, I've been meaning to ask you, did you ever talk to Bella?" Jasper asked.
"We've been talking since Saturday." I said.
"And?" Jasper asked, almost eagerly, leaning closer. I looked at him. What the fuck happened to him? I mean sure, we talked about women obviously, ones we liked, fucked, and all that, but jeez he's acting like a fucking woman.
"Personal space." I said, pushing him back to how he was sitting.
"Sorry bro, I seriously spend too much time talking to Alice." he said, regaining himself. I nodded, excusing it.
"Sunday night, we talked on the phone, we've been talking and texting since then, like you and Alice I guess you could say." I said.
"Wait, how do you not know that?" Emmett asked.
"What?" Jasper and I both said, looking at him.
"How does Jasper not know that you've been talking to Bella? Isn't Alice her best friend? Don't women talk about that shit?" Emmett pointed out.
Good point. "Did Bella tell Alice?" Jasper said.
"How am I suppose to know?" I shrugged. Bella hadn't said whether she had told Alice but I had pretty much assumed she had. They were girls and they were best friends. "Alice hasn't said anything to you?" Jasper shook his head before his phone rang.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey babe." he said a minute later.
"I bet that's Alice." Emmett said. I looked at him with a "I figured" look.
"Sitting here with Eddie and McCarty." Jasper said into the phone.
"You didn't tell me that him and Bella had been talking." he continued. I looked up.
"Edward and Bella have been talking..." Jasper repeated.
"WHAT?" she shrieked so loud I could hear her.
Correction, people across the room could hear her as well. Shit she's a hyper little person.
"You have to go?" Jasper said a minute later.
"Okay, bye babe." he said.
I should call Bella and let her know, I thought. I reached into my ACU pocket, taking out my phone as I went to recent calls where Bella's name appeared many times.
