I still dont own Twilight or the characters.
"You're working on New Years Eve?" Isabella said. She sounded a little disappointed.
"Yeah, a lot of drunk people make accidents and fires all over the city."
"I know...I just wanted to be with you at midnight."
"For this kiss?" I chuckled.
"Yeah...so we'll stay together for the New Year" I started to notice that Isabella was bit superstitious. Maybe it had something to do with her being so clumsy. But it was just something else about her I loved.
"Pull a fire alarm and I'll come."
"Don't tempt me. I might" she giggled.
"So what will you do to celebrate?" I sat in the armchair because the couch had Mike sprawled over it.
"Angela's parents always have a coquito party. It's in the Bronx, I might stop by it."
"What's coquito?" I said with a smirk.
"It's some kind of Puerto Rican drink...kinda like Pińa colada...but creamier." She giggled.
"Sounds good. But you never drink." Its true Isabella never drank alcohol. I felt a little bad when I drank around her, but she didn't seem to mind.
"I know, she said if I go they'll have a booze free bottle made for me." She giggled.
The alarm began to ring in the background.
"I hate that sound..."her voice got lower and sad.
"Don't be down. Hey I gotta go back. I will text you."
"Ok...be safe."
"I'll try my best."
"Ooh I love you muah muah," Mike said in my ear as he teased. I had zero privacy at the station lately. Or was it not enough? I hung up and glared at him.
"Was that your homegirl?" He asked with a doofy grin.
"Mike, I wish you spent this much time being interested in your own life." I said as I brushed by him.
"If I were dating a jungle bunny I'd tell everyone. I wouldn't stop talking bout it." He yelled.
"What did you call her?" I felt my anger rise. Emmett or Jasper weren't in the room to calm me down. They probably had started to get ready to respond the alarm. I turned to him.
"Jungle bunny. Isn't that the correct term?" He laughed.
"No it isn't. You know it isn't. What decade are you living in dude?" I said as I walked back toward him.
"The same one as you, I just don't have jungle fever." He walked toward me. I clenched my fist as I prepared to break his jaw.
"Don't ever say anything about my girl. I'm serious dude."
"What if I do? Who's gonna stop me?"
"I will. Try me." I said. I stood close to him and stared him in the eyes.
"Your girl is a jungle bun-." He started to say with a smile. I swung my fist faster than he could have ever thought and punched him right in the mouth. I felt his teeth against my knuckles.
He fell back slightly and covered his mouth. Bright red flood started to flow. He looked at his hand and then at me.
"You Irish potato eating bastard! He yelled and charged at me. He tried to knock me over but it didn't work. I pushed him back and swung at him again. This time my fist landed against his stomach.
He groaned and bent over; his hands clutched his middle.
"I'm tired of your racist comments you douchebag." I growled as I punched him again in the face. He fell back and held his head. I stood over him, I felt so furious.
He jumped up and swung at me. His fist landed on my cheek. It didn't hurt but I felt the pressure. I wrapped my arm around his neck and started to punch his head with my free hand. He hit my chest over and over with punches.
"Hey break it up! Break it up! What in the world is wrong with you too?" I heard the captain say.
I felt myself being pulled away from Mike but I still swung and fought. Someone held Mike away from me too.
"Edward man calm down." Jasper said. I huffed and tried to calm my heart pace and breath.
"You two in my office now!" Captain Aro shouted. I walked to his office and shoved past Mike. When I got there I sat with my elbows leaned on my knees.
Mike stood against the wall. I couldn't look at him; I still wanted to rip him in half.
"Somebody tell me what happened before the two of yous get suspended." He said
"Cullen you betta talk, you just came back from sick leave, I'm sure you don't want to miss more days."
"Captain that jerkoff over there, that poor excuse for a fire fighter, is nothing but a racist dick." I said angrily.
"Watch your mouth Cullen, calm down. What did he say?"
"He called my girl a jungle bunny and then called me a Irish potato eating bastard" I clenched my hands tightly. I looked at the captain.
"Is that true? You said all of that?" He said.
"Yeah I did. It's the truth!" He yelled,
"I'm not gonna tolerate that on my squad. We're family here. If you can't get along then you gotta go. Suspended until further notice," he said.
"But captain! I-"
"Get out of my office and go home Mike. You hear me? Scram!" He shouted. Mike punched the wall and stormed out the office.
"Thanks" I said. I still felt angry.
"Look Cullen, my first wife was black. Your gonna run into pricks like Mike wherever you go, it ain't easy. You just have to learn how to control you temper. You can't go fighting every prick that insults you or her." I looked up at him across the desk.
"And when I was married, it wasn't as easy going as it is nowadays. But we were young, in love and daring..." he looked down at his desk as he remembered the past. Maybe some time in the 60's. "Go take a break, calm yourself. I need you focused for the next call ok?"
"Ok" I said as I nodded. I felt slightly better. My knuckles hurt though.
