EPOV 20

Emmett's voice broke through the invisible barrier that we had found ourselves in. 'Can't say I was happy about that at all. But what can you do?' After a quick lunch we worked up a plan for Agent Black. 'Can I just say that I love this plan!' He wouldn't really have any pertinent information but we would keep him plenty busy. Once that was finished, Bella had some other things to take care of, but Emmett's suggestion sounded like a great idea to me. We all waited while Bella got ready the we followed them to Emmett's. We quickly trailed behind them into the house.

Bella was on her knees getting licked to death by two huge dogs. Emmett called his quickly but Bella's continued their assault on her. I was surprised when she talked to them, because it was in German. I was fluent, but not many people were, and to hear her speak it was 'A fucking turn on. I tell you what.' I watched her with them closely and even when they had their treats their eyes never left hers until she told them okay. When they had finished and made sure we were all fine to be around they just casually walked away. I was curious about the German and how they picked it up so easily but still her answers surprised me a little. When she headed off to take care of some things Emmett suggested a friendly game of 2 on 2.

"Uh, that is unless you want to play Alice."

"No, I'm good. I will just watch, thanks."

"Sure, there is a nice spot on the deck. Alright boys, pick teams." Ben chose Jasper so that left Emmett and I together. We made our way to his court, thank god I didn't wear heavy clothing today. We chatted lightly while stretching then Emmett and my conversation got deeper.

"So Ed, my man, tell me do you think this plan of Bella's will work?"

"I don't know, Em." figured I would shorten his name as well. He was still smiling so I figured he didn't mind and continued.

"I hope it will. I do not know Agent Black personally, but from what we were told he's not always the sharpest tool in the shed. Let's just keep our fingers crossed. Your sister is exceptionally well versed in her planning and I couldn't find any faults. So far anyway."

"She is, and you won't. She always thinks things completely through before she makes a decision. She doesn't rush anything. Oh, and I do mean anything. When we were kids, our mom would have to get up an hour earlier with her just to pick out what she was wearing to school that day. She is not so bad about stuff like that anymore but with this, she would be meticulous. No short cuts, others might, but not Beauty. Especially now when Black is involved. It took her years to trust anyone again after that. I mean except for our family and a few close friends that we have known almost since birth. All our lives we struggled with friendships and then relationships. Her and I are very close in case you couldn't tell. We tell each other everything because there is no point for us to keep secrets from one another. Besides we would find out sooner or later because again we tell each other everything.

We graduated High school so early that what friends we did have turned out not to really be friends at all. They always seemed to have some sort of agenda in order to be around us. They either wanted help with homework or to ride our coattails on projects and a couple even wanted us to help cheat on tests. We caught on quickly to them though and decided we were better off just sticking together. College wasn't much easier, the same things happened again. Half way through our first year of medical school we changed majors and schools. Much to our families dismay at first, but once we explained things they were fine with it. After graduation we took a much needed break for a few months. When we turned 18 we joined the Military and this was so much better for us than school ever was. Everyone started on the same level and close to the same age and we finally could blend in rather than stand out. We finally were free to make friends, have relationships, and just be ourselves.

Some things worked out for us while others really didn't. Friendships were great but relationships were and still are hard for us. Neither of us has had any sort of long term relationship, but I am a firm believer that it will eventually happen for us both. Being as close as we are is apparently hard for some people to comprehend. Who knew. I had a girlfriend once that I thought basically hung the moon. Bella didn't quite see it that way but she left it alone. Shit, I wasn't even 21 yet, what the hell did I know. Anyway, Sierra and I had only been together for like 3months and we went out all the time. She only seemed happy when we went out together but when she was happy, so was I. One night she stayed over and we had sex. I was a little tipsy before, then a lot relaxed after and I guess I let it slip about some of our money.

Big. I mean huge mistake on my part. The next morning I woke up and found Bella in tears on the kitchen floor. I will never forget her face or the way she looked at me. She didn't look angry which I would have been. No she looked defeated and betrayed. I had done that to her. She told me what Sierra had said and at first I couldn't believe it, I didn't think she could have been so cruel. I asked her and she admitted it freely like it was no big deal. Then she told me to choose her, or Bella. There was no choice for me because it will always be Bella. I don't get drunk or even tipsy around anyone that isn't family, or our close friends anymore. I could have ruined everything for us back then. Then about 7months later, Black happened to Bella. He broke her just like Sierra did me. They are our main reasons for our secrets about our money, our projects, hell even our family. You 6 are the first ones to know about any of our family and the 4 of you know more about our money situation than some of our friends.

"Maybe Black coming here isn't such a good idea, Em."

"Maybe not but I trust Bella, and if she thinks that everything will be okay, and that this plan will work. I am with her 100%. Trust me she will know if something is off with him, and it's about time she put her psychology degree to some use. She will be able to get some sort of read from him."

"I do trust her, its Black I don't trust. I will keep a close eye on her though just in case." Emmett raised his eyebrows at me then quickly looked away.

Jasper and Ben had been playing one on one for about 35minutes before we joined in. It was good to just hang out and have a good time shooting the shit and some hoops. I just kept going over what Emmett had told me. I won't let that asshole Black get close to Bella again. After 2 games I was sweating my balls off, I guess we all were because by the time I saw Bella join Alice on the deck none of us had shirts on anymore. We continued to play, then Emmett stopped and yelled to Bella about dinner. She agreed saying we would have 30 more minutes to play. 20 minutes later Emmett disappeared then returned with clean shirts for all of us before we made our way inside.

Dinner smelled so good I could hardly wait to eat. We all sat and piled our plates with food then I took my first bite. 'Well, fuck me, she can cook too!' I may have been enjoying my meal a little too much at one point and may have moaned out loud. Right after which Bella choked and Jasper helped her out. 'I wanted to do that' I had to force myself to calm down right then so I just let the girls know how good everything was and thanked them. I winked at Bella after she asked about staying to watch a movie but drug my mind away from her so I could help clean up. The Green Mile, my favorite, and that's what she picked.

We ended up sitting together, much to my liking, and once we were reclined I was much more comfortable. Besides the fact that I was close enough to touch and smell her, coconuts that's what she smelled like. 'Perfect' Soon, Emmett and Ben were asleep and Alice and Jasper weren't far behind them. Bella and I had moved slightly closer to one another and I couldn't resist any longer. I had to touch her just to see what if anything would happen. I grazed my pinky over her hand gently and there was that high voltage feeling again. Sparks seemed to pop all around us and Bella let go a moan and I almost jumped her right then. Unexpectedly, Alice spoke, scaring me and I yanked my hand back. Evidently, dinner was on Alice's mind even in her sleep. Deciding to let them all sleep we continued watching the movie comfortably until...?

I was so comfy and warm holding a soft pillow that smelled like coconuts. Purring; that was all I could hear, it was all around me lulling me deeper and deeper to sleep. I began to wake once I realized I could no longer hear the purring and wasn't quite so warm anymore, and where was my damn pillow. Opening my eyes, all I saw was blue then finally my eyes focused and I remembered where I was. Emmett's place and his big screen we had been watching was now all blue. Everyone was still asleep, well except for Bella, who was the only one missing from our apparent sleepover. I got up and made my way quietly out the door and headed to where I could smell the coffee. No Bella there though, so I helped myself to a cup then went to the fridge hoping for some sort of creamer. 'Score for me.' They had Irish cream another favorite of mine. I fixed it just the way I liked, giving it a try and it was just right. 'Fuck, I sound like Goldilocks!'

Setting my cup down I leaned against the counter and looked out the kitchen window, Emmett had a great view from here. I could hear bare feet padding my way, in strolled Bella and I could not move or breathe for that matter. She was beyond anything I had ever seen and again she wasn't wearing much. A short robe that barely covered her ass, 'What a great ass it was, too', but I could see her legs, and fuck if they didn't go on for miles. I closed my eyes to burn that image fully into my brain. Opening them slowly I cleared my throat to get her attention. Too bad for me, I scared her. She let out a slight squeak then whipped around to face me but before I could apologize for it there were three very angry looking dogs growling and staring me down. I knew better than to move. Bella called them off but they didn't go far.

I did apologize, finally, and told her the dogs had her back 'and her front' covered. I may have said that last part out loud but I can't be sure. I promised I wouldn't attack her but damn she needed to put on some clothes quick or I might change my mind. She left to dress, 'Pity that is' but the dogs left with her. I could finally breathe again. 'Christ what is she doing to me?' I took my coffee and sat down at the island, and as I drank I pondered all the things Emmett had told me yesterday.

1.) They didn't have many friends and that was hard to believe because they both seemed friendly and open. 'Not that I have a lot of friends myself, but still.'

2.) No long term relationships, ever. It's still hard to picture but Emmett had a point when he said that with them being so close, could put others off. 'This is something I can understand and sympathize with, seeing as I haven't had any real relationships either. Not for the same reasons, but some of their reasons hit home with me.'

3.) Keeping secrets. 'Yep, this is totally up my alley, because I never tell people who my parents or family are if I can help it.'

4.) They are smart, well beyond really, and they seemed to use their knowledge for all sorts of different things that I will have to ask about later.

5.) Emmett said they were both broken, and I hoped that they weren't beyond repair. We all needed to trust one another for us to be able to pull off this mission.

By the time I finished my cup of coffee and looked up everyone else had joined me in the kitchen. Bella came back dressed and ready for the day. 'What a shame.' When she caught my eye I had to smile but this time she winked at me. She got right down to business giving us our time table for today and other small changes that were made. My part would start today so I was taking her car to our hotel. Ben and I climbed into Bella's car, which was awesome by the way, and headed back followed by Jasper and Alice in our rental car. As soon as I reached my room, a shower was in order. The hot water felt great as it soothed my muscles from yesterday's game and sleeping on a loveseat all night. I tried to keep Bella in the back of my mind but obviously she would not be deterred. Instantly I was rock hard but tried to ignore it, I didn't think it was right. It's really hard, 'no pun intended', to wash your body with your cock in the way but I managed. I had to give myself a cold blast just to calm down before I could get out.

It was at last time to meet everyone in the lobby, so that's where I headed. I had my luggage with me and made a quick stop at the front desk to checkout, then I went to the garage and dropped the luggage off. I pulled out what Bella had given me earlier, and I was all ready now. Everyone was waiting for me, and Calvin seemed friendly as he led us to our meeting. I think we were all glad to see Agent Webber, or Angela, but I was much more excited about seeing Bella. We were put into teams according to our jobs so Emmett and I were going over the blueprints to the club.

"Em, do you know what shifts we're working yet?"

"No, and we won't get those until the week before. Don't worry though, T. will make sure either you or myself are always there with Bella."

"Who is T.?"

"We will go over that later, but don't worry, you will like her." He smiled then winked at me.

"Her?"

"Yeah her. I promise, you two will get along."

"If you say so." I hope he's not trying to set me up. We continued our assessment pointing out possible blind spots to each other. Next thing I know people are bringing tray after tray of food in. It was perfect because my stomach was under the impression that my throat had been cut. Bella quickly took charge after our meal. 'I love take charge Bella'

'Um...What!'

'Let's not think too hard about this now'

Once Emmett and I were up I pointed out a few spots of concern to her, but she didn't seem too put off by either location. Bella then dropped a bomb of epic proportion, well to us men, anyway. The dancing and costumes they would be wearing, or not wearing during their shows would be... revealing. I don't know if I could watch her do that. We will have to discuss that later. After she got ready for our encounter with Agent Black, we didn't even have but a minute before there was a knock on the door. Time to put my game face on. Agent Black almost spit the first words out of his mouth but Emmett was having no part of it. "Bells", Black called her and I thought Emmett was gonna take his head off. Agent Ravens, or Emily apparently had her big girl panties on today because she quickly diffused the situation by offering herself instead. Emily paused in front of Bella, and I was ready to pounce, I was glad that it was not necessary. When Black interrupted them I wanted to punch him in the face.

Jasper had made his way closer to Bella and I when Black looked over at us. I could tell he remembered us from before but wasn't sure where from so we told him. Bella introduced him to Jasper first but I cut her off when she turned to me. I would apologize for that move later. I gave her a quick wink then grabbed his hand saying,

"I'm Edward Cullen, Bella's husband." I shook his hand vigorously which went limp as his jaw hit the floor.

"Hu..Hus..Husband?" Poor Black. Well, not really.

"Yes, husband." I then wrapped my arm protectively around Bella's waist. Emmett, Angela, Ben, and Alice were standing behind him and Emily, trying to hold back smiles, and I'm sure, laughter. Jasper, on the other hand, just glared at Black not even moving. Black just stood there for another minute before Bella took control of the situation and handed him and Emily their packets of information. An hour later, Bella called an end to our meeting and stood up to put things away. Black, who had glared daggers at me since he sat down, now looked at Bella with wanting eyes. 'Too bad fucker, she's mine now!'

I took Bella's hand, brought it to my lips and kissed it while giving Black my best, 'I won, you lost' look I could. Bella let out a sigh but gave me a beautiful smile before leaning into my side then saying,

"I'm tired and didn't get much sleep last night due to our position, would you mind terribly if we called it an early night and just went home to relax?"

"Not at all, lets pack up and go home." She just bobbed her head then told everyone to meet back here at 1:00 tomorrow. Of course not everyone knew of our other plans and we hoped to keep it that way.

A/N some chapters are going to be long and others not so much. Hope you enjoy it. See you on Wed.
