Bella took a deep breath, the day was finally over. She went back to work as promised, and helped around the store. She spent most of the time in the stock room with Jessica unpacking the boxes and calling the customers that had personal orders, to inform them their package as arrived and available for pick up.

It was a long process and she was so glad it was over, she had a lot on her mind after she left Esme's house with a few not so kind words for her sister.

"Caius Volturi."

Bella stared at Esme for a split second before blowing up, "Are you fucking serious right now? How the fuck could you not know who you were gonna pop? Caius Volturi, is the Volturi family underboss! How could you be so stupid to not know that!"

Esme snapped, slapping her hands on the tables surface and standing up. "You will not disrespect me in my house Isabella! I said I didn't know it was him, Ray wanted a hit done and he gave me a time, description and location!"

Bella scoffed and sat back in her chair, hands sitting on top of her shaking head . "That was your goddamned mistake right there...you do your homework before every kill! Every. Fucking. Kill.", Bella brought her fist down firmly on the table to emphasize each word, shaking the wine bottle and glass but her water bottle tipped over and hit the floor. She sighed deeply again and stood up slowly, "and then you had the nerve to come here and ask for my help? Invade...my home?"

Esme rolled her eyes, "Oh please, don't play victim. I know you Bella! I...know...you. You are not the one to settle down and live like you belong here, like you're normal."

Bella bit her bottom lip, eyes narrowing considerably. "No. you knew me, but not anymore. I am the one to settle down, I have been settled for 5 years,to be normal. That side of me has been asleep for five goddamn years...until you...and Ray popped up out of fucking nowhere, begging for help. To clean up your messes. Raining on my little parade."

"you really thought you could redeem yourself? Couldn't you? Sleeping with some cop...doesn't count dear." Esme laughed,shaking her head before adding, "you don't leave family behind."

"When you left me behind in that store...I left you behind in Atlanta.", And now I'm doing it in Texas.", Bella picked up the water bottle and walked past her sister without a glance, Esme grabbed Bella's upper arm, with pleading eyes.

"What about Jane and Alec, you turning your back on them to?"

Bella bite the corner of her bottom lip, a thoughtful look on her face. "Nice try, but no...I'm not.", Bella pulled away from her sister, and walked to the front door...then she stopped and turned around, Esme was there watching her with hard eyes. "Oh and Rosalie is not just some cop, she is Texas US Marshal and my life partner."

Esme watched her sister walk out the front door, closing it softly behind her. Part of her was pissed off and the other part was proud.

Bella pulled into Rosalie's...well...their drive way. She had meant to beat Rosalie there, but the work at the store had taken longer than she meant it to be. She parked next to the police cruiser, she cut the engine and decided to take her time going inside and use the front door. As she was making her way to the path that led to their front door, she felt the hood of the police cruiser...it was warm, so Rosalie wasn't there long.

As Bella fumbled slightly with her keys due to her nerves, shivering slightly because the temperature was dropping and her clothes were already thin enough. She shut down the negative thoughts her sister planted in her head about it being a set up, she knew in her heart Rosalie would never do that. Finally unlocking the door and punching in the security code, Bella entered the warm house and closed the door slowly and quietly. She noticed Rose's gun and badge on the table in the foyer next to a key. She kicked off her shoes by the door, she heard noise coming from the second floor. So she went up there, when she reached the top of the stairs, it was completely dark up there except for the office light, she looked around feet slapping against the hard wood floors gently.

Everything looked normal enough, nothing was out of place. She stopped in front of the office door, and pushed it open...Rosalie was in there, she was standing in behind of the large desk facing the doorway, the ceiling light was on, with the fan clinking away. Rosalie raised her beer bottle to her lips but stopped when she noticed Bella standing in the door way. Neither woman moved, they were taking each other in...even though it was only the weekend, it has felt like forever since they saw each other. For Bella, Rose looked exhausted and just as emotionally drained as she felt. The bags under the blondes eyes matched her own, her hair was done up but it still looked messy and lacked any kind of maintenance...that was more than Bella could say for herself.

There was so much both of them wanted to say to each other, but blue continued to stare into violet eyes, every thought came and went like wind. Rose swallowed, slowly setting the bottle down on the desk. It clanked loudly against the dark wood startling both of them out of whatever trance they were stuck in. Bella opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out but a small croak she licked her dry lips and stared down at the floor, trying to get her thoughts together. While she was distracted with her toes, Rosalie took advantage and nearly jogged around the desk and went to her, pulling her into a tight hug.

She felt all the tension leave her lovers body in an instant, and a second later she felt those strong and loving arms wrap around her waist, holding her close.

Bella sniffed, pulling back enough so she could look into Rosalie's beautiful eyes. She was momentarily lost, it always happened but it hasn't been this intense since their first date. There was a burning desire in the Marshal's eyes, and unconditional love. "I missed you so much."

Rosalie tightened her arms around Bella and lowered her mouth onto the younger womans,passionately kissing the soft and succulent lips she has been craving all weekend. Bella felt the cool air on her backside, and Rose's lithe fingers brushing against her smooth skin, the fabric of her jacket rising slowly. She broke their kiss, breathing deeply. "We need to talk Rosalie." yet she raised her arms to make it easier for Rosalie to pull off her hoodie and her shirt at the same time.

Rosalie ignored her though,tossing the clothing aside somewhere...she kissed her girlfriend again, cupping both her breasts , firmly clasping Bella's hardening nipples between her middle and index fingers. She leaned forward and kissed Bella's still reddened jaw gently, unhurriedly kissing her way to the womans ear "So talk", she whispered lustfully. Licking her suddenly dry lips, Bella grabbed a handful of blonde hair and pulled Rosalie's mouth back to her own, whatever she had to say forgotten.

Yeahhhh it's not long, but I'm really sore and tired ya know...I think it's safe to assume...there will be another chapter tomorrow.

What do you think about Esme? I tried to keep to character, but in a story like this one...I said fuck it, I do what I want!

Uhh...I did have a full lemon written...didn't like it. But I don't know guys, there might be a full on lemon in the next chapter...or the one after that. who knows!

Anyway, review y'all! They beam me up!
