Edward Cullen/forms a plan

"Tell me the truth," I say after Bella ends the call. "Are you using me to get to Emmett? Because you haven't met Rosalie yet, but I can tell you that she's not above murder when it comes to her man."

I'm not joking.

Rosalie really loves the big guy ... a lot.

She's a biology major so she'd probably get away with it.

"Of course, I am. It has nothing to do with your personality and devastatingly handsome face." Bella smiles.

Why did she have to go and make that stupid fucking rule?

I want to ask her who's place is closer and take care of the problem I overheard her whining about.

Instead, we part ways, and I make a few calls.

One of the perks of living in a college town is that people scramble to pull favors for anyone who plays sports for the university.

A couple of hours later, I have everything in place and send Bella a text message.

Dress warmly. I'm picking you up at seven.

Stop bossing me around.

Can't wait.
