Bella
Well aren't they having a chipper fucking time.
I thought as I scrolled through Mike's Instagram, I saw photos of him and Jessica settling into college. Pictures of his parents and her parents all at dinner together at some fancy restaurant.
"Last dinner with the rents before they leave us to be big kids"
Jessica had captioned the photo. I rolled my eyes as I scrolled. I knew it was pathetic of me considering I didn't even have an Instagram and was using Angela's to stalk these two idiots. I shouldn't have been looking I should've been doing anything but this. Cleaning my room, doing my laundry, the homework I managed to already fall behind even though I started class like last week, going to Keggers with Lauren and Irene- Who despite first impressions were pretty cool by the way. I also could've been doing my fucking job.
"Spying on the ex?" Said Rosalie's voice from behind me making me drop my phone. I turned to look at my beautiful boss who was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed, her eyes amused. I had only been working with Rosalie for about a week and a half and it was… interesting. I liked her… I genuinely liked her. Did she scare the fuck out of me because I'd seen her yell at a lot of people for a lot of different things? Yes. But despite being her assistant and having to do a lot of weird tasks… like get her dry cleaning, get her dog and polish the wood in her house she actually also… taught me a lot. The weirdest task I had ever done was pretend to be her brother -in -laws girlfriend. That was an interesting day especially for only being my third day on the job. Rosalie's husband was sweet, he was a huge muscular man and stopped by here usually every other day to take his wife out for lunch. I had met her brother in law Edward and Jasper and her sister in law Alice. Who was the most energetic thing ever? Jasper was nice, his southern accent made me crack up and Edward… well Edward Cullen was the most interesting man I'd ever come across. When I was alone with his mother after I was bitch slapped, I couldn't find it in me to tell her I really wasn't Edward's girlfriend. She had this look to her while she helped me reapply my foundation. She was talking about how she'd never though Edward would meet such a nice girl and I genuinely couldn't find it in myself to tell her I was just a drink girl trying to climb her way up in a company so I pretended to sleep with her son to get him to this party. So, I just smiled and kept quiet, I was not going to tell her that was Rosalie's job. I wanted to impress my boss, but I definitely was not going to be the one to break that woman's heart. I'd never had a mother but if Esme was my mother, I'd probably never lie to her.
"Well. Yeah kind of." I said defeated at my desk. I was positioned right outside of Rosalie's office so she could keep an eye on me and so that I was never far if she needed me. I took my leg off my desk and let out a sigh.
"I'm supposed to be running around Chicago having the time of my life and I'm stalking Mike Newton from Forks." I complained. That was another thing, Rosalie was so motherly… Like the mother I never had or even older sister. Sure, she scared the fuck out of me but she was great to talk to. One night when we were in her office eating Chinese food and getting ready for a big auction the next day she asked about home, and then she asked about Mike and I told her.
"You know just because you're not somebody's first choice doesn't mean there isn't someone that would beg for you to choose them." She reasoned as she flipped through papers. I stuffed some shanghai noodles in my mouth.
"No, you don't understand she's…. Jessica Stanley she's the most popular girl in the entire town." I reasoned "And he was the love of my life."
"Exactly, most popular girl in the town means nothing to anyone in Chicago. I was the most popular girl in my town you know? I was Eclipse high's homecoming queen for three years. I was even married to my high school sweetheart before Emmett."
"Really?"
"Yeah, his name was Royce King he was the captain of the football team, Quarterback and all American first round pick. He also loved to cheat on me with Russian porn stars." She said I tilted my head to the side in confusion.
Someone cheated on ROSALIE?
"What?"
"Yeah and when I tried to leave him, he punched me square in the face. So, I got my friend to give me her credit cards so I could hide away from him and I was staying at the Four Seasons hotel and I met Emmett at the bar. We spoke all night and I opened up to him. He told if I didn't leave town and stayed with him he'd keep me safe, maybe he was drunk maybe I was drunk but I stayed with him, and he made sure Royce never hurt me again"
"Healing takes time, let me see this Jessica person anyways." Rosalie said coming over to my desk sitting on the top of it. She took my phone and leaned back into my chair. She scoffed at the photos of Jessica.
"Small town girl, this is nothing, she's nothing one city girl with no money will eat this girl alive." Rosalie said. I just looked at Rosalie as she scrolled and scoffed and laughed. Maybe it was bad but… I enjoyed it. I had spent four years. Year after year looking at her watching how everyone thought she was so pretty and so perfect and the best thing ever and I guess, even though I thought I wasn't manipulated by that, maybe I was? And maybe that was why I thought that Jessica Stanley was the be all end all of womanly perfection. I worked my ass off to leave Forks, to be surrounded by people who didn't grow up in the town of a thousand people. People who thought differently and now that I had that, it was foreign to me.
"I mean she's cute but… she's no Bella Swan." Rosalie said throwing my phone back on my desk with a little shrug. I passed my hand through my hair.
"That's nice Rose it is really." I answered she just stared at me for a little bit with her arms crossed and then she tilted her head.
"Come with me." She said I got up and grabbed my bag, she took her two cell phones and walked quickly toward the door.
"Where are we going?" I asked as she turned to Jane's desk that was further from mine, right across the elevator.
"Jane? I'm gonna be gone for the day. Bella and I are going shopping." She said as she put her phone to her ears. My eyes widened as we walked into the elevator.
"Shopping? Oh! I'm a broke college student remember?" I said trying to get her to change her mind.
"Oh, I know trust me your shoes say it all." Rosalie insisted amused as she scrolled through her phone.
"Rosalie seriously this is not necessary at all its-
"You're never going to move forward if you look and act like you're still in your past. I'm your boss remember. Consider this… work attire." Was all she said with an evil little smile before she grabbed my hand and we left the elevator on the first floor of the huge building. We walked to her red little convertible and we zoomed off to Saks. I protested the whole way, she wasn't having any of it. Before we got there we picked up Alice as she insisted Alice was the perfect person for this job.
When we got to this department store Alice and Rosalie were walking around like they were on a serious mission and in some ways they were.
"So what look are you going for Bella, what's your life in Chicago goal is it sleek but still youthful or sexy and professional or-
"Well what am I pulling right now?" I ask as they walked. They both stopped and turned to look at me. Alice tilted her head to the side and Rosalie to the left.
"I'm getting small town girl who was pretty, but no one really spoke to?"
"…Yeah." Rosalie agreed with her head nod. I pouted as I looked at my outfit.
"I thought I looked sleek?"
"You're wearing Uggs?" Alice challenged
"It's dress down day" I retorted.
"No Bella you just look like you know. Upper middle class, Uggs and plaid." Rosalie said as she went through her phone.
"That's exactly who I am."
"Great let's make it sexier." Rosalie said.
"But like what are we going for?" I asked kind of scared at what they were saying.
"Well you're young so we don't want to drip you in gowns and having you smelling like moth balls, but we do want a more youthful, sophisticated rich girl kind of vibe?" Alice reasoned.
"But uh that's expensive and-
"Don't worry about that." Alice insisted. We were in a plush part of the department store. Alice and Rosalie were talking to a sales associate and I spent the next couple of hours creating a new me. There were a lot of designers, some I recognized- most I didn't. I had everything right down from new designer jeans, designer sneakers, new leather jackets, an actual completely new workwear wardrobe. I had to admit I don't know what I thought I was doing before Rosalie and Alice helped me but while they picked out my clothes, I realized that I would actually look like those fancy sleek girls who paraded around Rosalie's office.
"One more thing." Alice said as we were giggling and walking through the mall with my millions of bags. I looked up at the store she was walking toward, and I stopped. I shook my head.
"No." I said sternly. Rosalie looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Come on… every girl needs one." Rose insisted agreeing with Alice. Realistically I should've been thankful that two people were willing to spend so much on me for really no reason at all to be honest. I was an employee and I guess a friend but even Angela and I weren't balling out on each other like this and we loved each other. I had only seen two people with something from Cartier. My mother, she had a whole stack of love bracelets every valentine's day my father would give her one of the ridiculously expensive bracelets and I'd always see him tightening a new one every year. I recognized her through those bracelets, at night she'd play with my hair sometimes while she slept and I'd hear the clanking of them together. Or when she'd pick me up from school, and my little hand would hold onto hers and they'd jingle as she asked me about my day. When she left us, she left one behind, my father assumed it was one for me, but I never wore it. Another person who had one was fucking Jessica. She had one I remember when she got it for her 16th birthday, the whole town remembered when she got it because she wouldn't shut up about it to be honest. She wore it like a crown, like it was the most valuable thing ever.
"You're not complete without your first Cartier love bracelet." Alice insisted as we walked into the plush store.
"I have one… my mom left me one." Rosalie and Alice shared a look.
"This one will be new, and we all have one. Don't worry Bella it'll be fun." Alice said her voice softening. I followed them further into the store and we were met with and eager salesperson. After much deliberation we decided to go with the most basic Love bracelet as I drew the line and getting one of those thousand-dollar diamond encrusted ones.
"There, you're officially a brand new you." Alice said as she tightened the bracelet, she insisted I wear out of the store. Rosalie smiled as if to beam and made me promise that when applying my new bought makeup I didn't go overboard or underboard. By the time I got to the house I was exhausted so when there was another "rager" happening at the house I took my millions of shopping bags to my room and avoided any interaction with any of the drunkards. I opened my bedroom door to find a guy passed out on my bed.
"Hey! What the hell!" I exclaimed dropping all of the bags, he opened one eye and stood up quickly. He stood about six feet -much taller than my five two. He had light brown hair and these beautiful hazel eyes he was beautiful. He was fit, wearing a varsity jacket. I was taken aback but didn't show it.
"Oh, is this your room?" He said kind of lost. I squinted my eyes at him.
"Yes, you dumbass this is my room. Who the hell are you?" He laughed rubbing his head.
"I was looking for Advil I think I'm coming off a high my head hurts." He said rubbing his temple.
Did everyone in this city do copious amounts of drugs as a past time or something? Jesus.
I went into my bathroom and gave him two pills.
"There, now get out." I said going to my closet and hanging up my new clothes, waiting for him to leave but he didn't he just stood there, staring at me.
"I didn't get your name."
"it's Bella." I answered shortly, hanging up the clothes continuing to not make eye contact. Much to my dismay he sat on my bed. I turned to look at him hands on my hips.
"Did you need something else?"
"Why don't you ever party? I'm in this house like three times a week and this is the first time I've seen you. Why do you always lock yourself up in here?"
"I didn't come here to get caught up."
He nodded in understanding and then leaned back into my bed. I just ignored him as I continued to put my clothes away.
"That's a lot of shopping you've done? No wonder you like your job so much if they're paying you that well." He noted.
"Cartier? Tiffany? Gucci? YSL? Where do you work?"
"How do you know I'm not some spoiled rich girl spending daddy's money…Mr.?"
He smiled brightly, his hazel eyes twinkling.
"Alec."
"Alec?"
"Yes Alec Volturi, of the Volturi's" He said with a cocky smile.
"I'm sorry am I supposed to know who that is?"
"No not necessarily. But to answer your question, I know you're not some spoiled girl spending daddy's money because they don't care about their jobs, most of them don't even have them. All of your reminders on that board are very particular. You go straight from school, to home, to home to work or vice versa. Your life is busy, but you make your bed every morning… right down to the decorative pillows. You were raised by a cop or someone with military precision and they instilled it in you from a young age. That's why every moment in your life is accounted for" He went on softly. "So, you're not filthy rich, but you're well off you're okay upper middle class? Well enough to not suffer but not rich enough to not work hard and parents who reminded you of it." He finished off with. "You have no photos up of anyone which means you don't really make close bonds with anybody due to your parents instilling in you that nobody can be trusted which again, comes from parents in law enforcement, but a more serious level? Detective? CIA? FBI, CSI"
"I thought you had a headache?" I whispered taken aback by the accuracy of his analysis. He just laughed happy with my rebut. I stood in the middle of my room before I answered.
"My mom worked for artificial intelligence before she left, and my dad works for the CIA." I whispered. He nodded smug with how on point he was, and I just went back to hanging up my stuff.
"Your mom left?" He asked taking his jacket off.
"Why are you making yourself comfortable? Get out." I said amused.
"You have a really nice smile." He whispered.
"Don't think you're going to butter yourself up and slide into my bed."
"Well here's the thing Bella, I'm really under the influence and if I go home and drive my car I might kill someone or worse myself"
"So then don't drive." I said raising an eyebrow.
"What if I told you I just want to talk to the pretty girl who entered the room?"
"I would say its suspicious."
"Suspicious? That a man wants to sit and talk to the pretty girl all night come on that's more normal than anything." He insisted. "Don't let those government roots get to you… I'm not gonna hurt you." He promised with a mischievous smile.
"Promise?" I joked as I went to the bag and hung up more clothes.
"Promise." He said as he left his jacket beside him and laid back on my bed asking me all kinds of questions about myself.
OOOOoo
I woke up the next morning tucked into my bed my alarm clock going off to remind me to go for my morning workout. I sat up confused wondering where Alec went and then came to the sad realization that he left. I had spent all night talking to the hilarious senior who seemed to want to know so much about me. Maybe it was best that he left without saying goodbye I had way too much to focus on out here in Chicago anyways. I shrugged off the light disappointment and went downstairs after quickly changing into my workout clothes. When I went down into the kitchen Lauren and Irene were gossiping over dried cereal and quickly stopped when they saw me smiling with a smug grin.
"What?" I asked as I went to pour myself some coffee. Lauren sat up on the island and swinging her feet back and forth. Those busty tits in full display.
"Alec Volturi of the Volturi's left not too long ago told us to tell you he'd "Be in touch" She said with air quotes around it. I rolled my eyes.
"What a douchebag."
"A douchebag you spent all night with I may add." Irene quipped in.
"We just talked."
"You're with one of the richest, hottest guys on campus… fuck in Chicago and you want us to believe you just talked?" Irene pushed.
"Yes." I said amused at my two roommates I shook my head. "We just talked-
"About what?" They pressed, I shrugged not understanding the big deal.
"About everything… he's easy to talk to. He asks questions like he already knows the answer its kind of cool? I guess?"
They squealed.
"You have to come out with us tonight. We're going to Bloke nightclub he's going to be there."
"So what? I don't care if I see him again? Plus last night he said he fucked like so many girls on this campus." I said in disgust.
"Uh yeah he's Alec Volturi… look." Lauren said taking out her phone and showing me his Instagram profile. Despite my better judgement I took the phone from her hand and scrolled through the profile. He was clearly rich as fuck he showed off all his fancy cars, most of them with him shirtless standing in front of them with his dog. He had pictures with tonnes of girls at various parties. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at it. His bio literally said,
"I've got hoes in different area codes." I said out loud. Lauren laughed out loud.
"He does."
"That's disgusting." I said giving the phone back, a little disappointed that he was actually such a douchebag.
"Which is why I find it very hard to believe that you just talked."
"Well we did and the guy I talked to last night was nothing like that idiot." I said with a. shrug.
"Come out with us tonight? Come on please, you haven't been out with us once." Irene begged grabbing my hand. I rolled my eyes.
"Sure, fine." I said with a shrug of my shoulders. "I'm going to the gym." I said no longer wanting to talk to them about boys and parties. I ran to the gym and when I got there got in my zone. I had done a few workout classes in Forks with Angela but when I moved here I made sure to join the gym and make it a priority because freshman 15 was NOT repeat not touching me. I had enough shit to deal with.
OOOOo
That night I was in my room going through all the newly bought clothes trying to find out what was club appropriate. I decided on a simple strapless black dress and I did my hair in light waves, I did my makeup and put on the Cartier bracelet Rosalie bought me I also went into the drawer of things my mom left me and took that one bracelet she left. I put the two bracelets on and when I put on the YSL heels I also bought that day with Rosalie and Alice I looked myself in the mirror and was taken aback by own appearance. Lauren opened the door to my room looking gorgeous herself in a red dress.
"Damn Forks Washington you're playing with the big girls now." She said handing me a red cup with a liquid I drank without question. I welcomed the burn in the back of my throat and swallowed it fast before I grabbed my little clutch. The three of us piled into the Uber and even I had to admit. Lauren and Jessica were fun if not totally and completely undisciplined. They woke up on average at like 2PM they skipped most of their classes they out every single day and didn't work out their rooms were genuinely always a mess and they drank like men. I didn't want to be the one to tell them that those genetics wouldn't always kick in if they kept up those habits but I also wanted friends, so I refrained from doing so.
"Oh my God Bella you don't have an Instagram, make one!" Irene said.
"Oh, no I would not even use it if I did."
"Oh, it'll be fun don't you want revenge on people the whole point of Instagram is to look your best and pretend like your life is going great when it's not."
"Huh." I said in thought after she explained it to me. I thought about all those photos with Mike and Jessica. Is that what was going on? Were they trying to make it seem like everything was okay? When it wasn't?
"Bella... we're here." Lauren said as she got out. I followed behind the two of them and was surprised when instead of getting in line Lauren and Irene had us bypass the line and go into the club while people looked at us with envy as they had stand and wait. I looked at Lauren questioningly.
"Irene is fucking the guy who owns this place, we get into every club in the city because of it without getting carded." She explained to me. I laughed, who were these people? I mean sure you had your average kids from Forks who were a little wild but a little wild just meant they got their older brothers or sisters who went to SeattleU to get them beer while they partied at Mike's house. I never went to those parties really, maybe sometimes when we were official but barely before that and definitely not after when he was dating Jessica.
"I'm gonna go check on Riley." Irene said before she left. I assumed Riley was the guy who owned this place. Lauren took my hand and she guided me toward a VIP area. I saw a few guys who were always drinking and partying at the house and then in the middle of all the "look at how rich" hoopla. There was Alec with his arm around two girls who didn't care that they were being degraded. When he saw me his eyes kind of lit up at the thought of being able to maybe have an intelligent conversation with someone. I took a seat beside Lauren and smiled in thanks when someone passed me a drink.
"Well if it isn't little Ms. I'm too good party and have fun, having fun." Alec said sitting up and raising his glass of whatever to me before he swallowed it.
"Decided to grace you all with my presence." I shot back with a sarcastic smile as I too chugged my drink. The people in the booth seemed amused by my answer.
"Sorry I left without saying goodbye, I didn't want to wake you." Alec said. I narrowed my eyes at him. I knew it should have been just a simple statement, but I knew he was doing he was trying to make everyone think that I slept with him and I would not have it.
"Yeah sorry our conversation was so boring it put me to sleep." I shot back, he didn't seem offended though, just amused at my biting back.
"Don't be upset Bella. It's nothing personal."
"Whatever Alec." I said chugging more alcohol. I looked at an amused Lauren who was just looking back and forth between us, as was everyone.
"I'm gonna go find Lauren." I said to her she just nodded not saying anything trying not to laugh as I left the group of obnoxious people. I went to the bar instead and ordered a Martini. Rose was always ordering those after her meetings. She would storm into her office, ignore everyone who tried to talk to her and there would be a Martini waiting for her while she locked herself in their and drank herself stupid.
"I just- it's just so hard to deal with life sometimes you know?"
She would say.
And boy did I know that in this very moment. The glass was placed in front of me and I all but gulped it one go.
"Martini huh?" Said Alec's voice from beside me. I jumped a little and looked up at him.
"Isn't there a bunch of girls you should be giving an STD?" I said while I chugged and placed the glass on the table roughly. He laughed throwing his head back he leaned against the bar stool and took my hand.
"Look I didn't mean to get you riled up back there."
"I know exactly what you're doing you're trying to make it seem like I slept with you but I don't understand why?"
"You want the truth?"
"yeah the truth would be nice."
"I wanted to sleep with you, and you wouldn't let me so… I guess it kind of irked me and I know that you're a virgin and the thought of people thinking you slept with someone when you didn't would bother you because you value your virginity." He said honestly. "Can I have scotch on the rocks please?" He said like it was nothing waving over the bartender who looked like she would give him anything.
"What the hell is the matter with you I am not-
"Yes, you are Bella, you're a virgin and I know you are because when we were having our deep conversation you told me your boyfriend broke up with you the night of the junior prom, which means you didn't have sex because you still care about him, which means he dumped you before you could sleep with him. And that's why even though he broke your heart you still respect him." I tried to keep the tears at bay. Why was I in a nightclub crying over Mike Newton, and why was this man a grade a asshole.
"You got me Advil from your cabinet there was no brand of birth control and you had no condoms, anywhere in your room. You stay away from the parties because everyone's hooking up at those parties and you don't want to sleep with anyone who lives like me or your roommates do. You meticulously write down where you go, who you're with you have no dates. You would never sleep with someone you didn't love and you sure as hell didn't love me, so I was pissed when I made the realization." He continued putting his glass to his lips.
"So, when I found you in my room you weren't drunk or high." I said knowing the truth now, he smirked.
"No. I went in there waiting for you. Lauren and Irene constantly talk about their hot roommate who doesn't give anybody the time of day and I thought maybe I'll try it out. I thought I had you for a moment, but I knew I didn't so… it was a bust. And I already lied and told you couldn't drive so I thought I might as well sleep in your bed." He said with a shrug.
"You are literally the worst person I think I have ever met." I said honestly, he laughed and looked at me with that twinkle in his eye.
"Look I just came over here because I don't want there to be any bad blood between us Bella. I'm gonna be at your house a lot and I actually enjoyed our conversation. Look don't be upset at me it's just the way I do things."
"You and I never need to speak again, like ever." I said nicely.
"I'm going to let you blow off steam and then speak to you later." He said nicely.
"Go away" I insisted as I took another Martini that was presented in front of me.
"I think you and I could have a great time if you learned to just-
"Go. Away. Now." I said
"This is why you're a virgin because you're a bitch." He muttered before he walked off. When he was gone I just sat at the stool.
"Hi Mrs. Bartender lady can I please have a lot of these, thank you." I said handing her a hundred dollar bill. She shrugged not denying me, drink after drink I sat at that bar and drank my sorrows away like Rosalie did after one of her art pieces got help up at customs. Before I knew it I was pretty drunk and Alec was back.
"Hey drunkie we're leaving let's go." He said.
"I don't want to go anywhere with you, you're annoying." I mumbled. He laughed looking down at me amused. He took my little YSL clutch and held it.
"Bella lets go the group is leaving Irene and Lauren are waiting for you." He said
"I don't want to go anywhere with you, guys like you disgust me." I said getting serious for a minute, he got this looking his eyes as he held me.
"Look Bella I was just joking with you, I didn't try to sleep with you because I knew you weren't like the regular girls I sleep with so I backed off."
"So then why did you say all those other things about me before?"
"I wanted to get under your skin that's it okay?" He said quietly as he held me. I shook my head.
"You're pathetic." I whispered to him feeling woozy.
"Bella lets just go okay? I-
"Bella?" Said a familiar voice. I looked over to the side to see Edward Cullen standing there looking rather confused as he took in the stance I had with Alec.
"Edward Cullen hey, how are ya? How's the coke thing?" I asked as I stood up and wobbled a little bit as I did. Amusement danced in his eyes.
"Bella? Are you drunk?"
"Me, No! Never." I said walking over to him but I stumbled and he caught me. He laughed.
"Yes, she is drunk, and I was just taking her home." Alec said. Edward's eyes narrowed at him he had me in his arms.
"And who the hell are you?" Edward insisted.
"He's wrong I'm not going anywhere with him cause he's a dick." I said and fell further into Edward's arms. "You smell so good." I whispered quietly.
"Look give me her bag, she's coming with me" Edward demanded.
"And who the hell are you?" Alec said
"Her boyfriend dick-wad stay away from her." Edward said grabbing the clutch and taking me out of the club.
"He made fun of me for being a virgin. Isn't that mean!" I said as Edward held me out. He chuckled a little bit and held me tighter. We were outside of the club now.
"We'll have your car in a minute Mr. Cullen." Said a valet I never saw.
"Thanks." Edward said. He looked down at me, he put his jacket over my shoulder.
"There's nothing wrong with being a virgin Bella." Edward said quietly looking distracted as he waited for his car.
"I think it is, you know maybe Alec was right maybe I'll never fall in love because I'm such a frigid bitch." I muttered as I stumbled and went to sat on the sidewalk. The car pulled up and Edward placed me in his car, and I rested my head against the window. It was quiet the whole way as he sped.
"Can you drive slower I'm kind of like on the verge of puking and I don't want to puke in this car. I could not afford to clean it." I muttered. He chuckled.
"Okay Bella" he said quietly. "I'll drive slower for you." He whispered. When we pulled up in front of the building I recognized as his house I stumbled out of the car when we went to the underground parking lot. He was at my side guiding me into the elevator in a second.
"Oh, I remember coming here. Rose said we had to save her brother in law from ruining another family event and that it was a full-time job in itself." I said perkily as he took me into his arms and carried me to the elevator. He laughed at what I was saying.
"Rose said that huh?" He said as he held me.
"Mhm, she also said that you're a pain in the ass and she doesn't know how anyone sleeps with you." I said. Realistically I didn't mean to say all of this but the alcohol, Jesus Christ the alcohol made people say and do the worst fucking things. Edward didn't seem to mind though; he just laughed the more my word vomit came out.
"She said that too huh?" He said gently as he looked into my eyes amused. I nodded my head enthusiastically. When we finally got into his apartment the words hadn't stopped and I was still in his arms.
"Yeah don't tell her I told you I don't want her to fire me, I really like my job even though she scares me half the time." I whispered to him. He threw his head back and laughed as he placed me on his bed. The last time I was here, he was the one in the chaotic state and I was trying to figure out how to fix him. The room was cleaner compared to the last time. He placed me on his bed and started to remove my shoes.
"Rosalie is all bark no bite Bella. She calls me an idiot so much that when she calls me by my name I have no idea who she's talking too." He whispered. I giggled and he smiled. "But every time I get into a mess she fixes it. Once she loves you, she loves you and I think she's quite taken with you." He insisted quietly. He took off my shoes and placed it on the side of my bed.
"When did you first have sex Edward?" I asked. He sat beside me on the bed.
"Bella that's not important there are more important things than sex-
"Tell me." I asked him softly. He put his hands on either side of me, he had tattoos all down his hands and some on his neck. He was muscular but not bulky he was gorgeous. He had the most beautiful green eyes, I'd ever seen.
"I was fifteen she was the girl next door. I was her tutor she was a senior she was really stupid but I thought she was hot." He admitted quietly.
"Did you love her?"
"No….I did not in fact after I slept with her she never spoke to me again and I was happy about it." He said. "I've only ever loved one girl."
"It's not me, I thought it was me. That's what you told your girlfriend right?" I said with a laugh and he laughed too, throwing his head back at my joke.
"No… it's not you." He said amused. I was still laughing at my own stupid joke. "Thank you for that by the way, for once in everyone's life there was a disaster and it wasn't my fault and that was all because of you." He said tapping my nose. I giggled.
"Would you have sex with me?" I asked him. He laughed.
"What is it with you and sex Bella?"
"Alec said-
"Alec is an idiot Bella he's a 20 year old dumbass who thinks he's a fucking genius and he's just a moron." He said his eyes smoldering into mine. I burst into tears.
"Mike is gonna marry Jessica… and theyre happy because she's pretty and her family's rich and she's more appropriate than me-
"I don't know who Mike is… but you are a beautiful girl. You're only 18 years old, there is a whole world out there and someone is going to realize that you are the most beautiful girl in it. Okay?" He whispered seriously
"What if I'm sad forever." I asked him quietly.
"Trust me, looking like that, someone is going to want to make you the happiest girl in the world one day. You heard it here first." He whispered to me. "You sleep, I'm gonna be in the guest bedroom I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Don't be alarmed if the maid wakes you up in the morning she does that. I'll see you in the morning-
"Oh, I have to be at Rosalie's for like-
"I'll deal with Rosalie, Bella go to sleep please." He said.
"You're so bossy."
"I run a business I have to be." He insisted before he walked towards the door. "Do me a favour stay the fuck away from Alec, Instagram and anything that'll make you feel like shit. Night beautiful." Was all he said before he left the room, and let me sleep.
