Chapter 3

EPOV

"Oh come on Edward, who was little Miss "Can't Find a Bra" Alice found sneaking out of your place?" Rose smirks as she looks over at me.

All five of us collectively decided to come visit my parents this week for their anniversary, but I'm regretting that decision now. Rose and my sister Alice are being nosy and frankly annoying questioning me about Tanya. Alice caught her leaving my house last week and has not stopped trying to pry information out of me. I don't want to sound like a complete asshole by telling them all I know about Tanya is that I tattooed a total tramp stamp on her lower back and that fact that she is into some pretty kinky shit, not that I'm complaining. She was good in bed but her shrilling voice made me want to claw my eyes out. She isn't the type you see the morning after or talk to your family about.

Jasper and I opened our own tattoo shop outside of town about a year ago. At twenty two I can proudly say I am a part business owner. The shop is doing great, my brother Emmett helps us manage it.

I met Jasper and Rose when they moved to Forks from Texas with their parents six years ago; we've been close ever since. Alice was smitten from the minute I brought Jasper over for dinner one day and that was that. I think she started planning their wedding that night. I tried flirting with Rose first but my big brother stole my thunder, which thinking back now thank god he did, Rose and I would have never worked out.

"She is no one, Rose. I'm too busy with the shop to even think about girls." I hear both Jasper and Emmett scoff.

"Ha! He sure doesn't think about them afterwards Rose." Emmett's big booming laugh echos the room.

I get up from the couch to punch his arm before moving towards my phone where its charging on the coffee table, but before my fingers make contact with it Alice's small hand scoops it up and throws it like a football at Rose. My heart drops to my stomach. I just bought that fucking phone.

"Real mature girls." I say extending my hand towards Rose waiting for her to give it back. I realize she isn't going to when I see that evil glint in her eye.

"Edward you need to stop hooking up with random bimbos, just tell us her name we need to know our future sister in laws name." Alice teases.

"Damn Alice leave it alone! Rose I swear if you don't give it to me."

I throw my head back and groan when Rose takes off running towards the back yard. Alice and the guys are laughing behind me as I follow Rose outside.

"Emmett get your girl man." I snap at my brother.

"Oh Eddie you know I don't wear the pants in the relationship." I shoot Emmett a glare.

My brother is such an idiot.

"I swear, Rose if don't give me back my phone! ROSE!" She acts like she's fourteen instead of twenty four. I guess she compliments my brother perfectly. They are a pair of idiots.

I step out to the yard, Rose is twirling around, holding my phone over her head.

"Oh come on Eddie just tell me!"

"Don't fucking call me that!" I take off running after her and tackle her to the ground. Rose isn't like normal girls, she is stronger than the norm.

Wrestling my phone out her hands while avoiding her pointy elbows leaves me breathless. Alice, Emmett, and Jasper step out to yard to see the show.

" I know you love being on your back sis but you are getting grass all over your sweater." Jasper pipes up making me chuckle.

Of course that would worry Jasper. Clean freak. Even at the shop his space is always spot less. Don't get me started on his room. We live together so I have to put up with his Sunday deep clean routine.

Rose shoves me off and I manage to get my phone from her before she walks over to her brother and punches him on the chest. Emmett grabs her by the waist and spins her before whispering something in her ear making her giggle and blush.

"I'm going inside it's fucking cold out here." Jasper announces throwing his arm around Alice before heading inside.

The open window at the Chiefs house catches my attention. Weird that window is never open.

I follow everybody inside. Alice and Rose head to the kitchen to talk about the party they are throwing my parents this weekend. Jasper ,Emmett and I head over to the living room. There is a baseball game later we are trying to catch. My parents are in Seattle right now and won't be home until tomorrow.

"So did you go through the resumes I set on your desk before you left?" Emmett asks me before throwing himself on the couch.

"Esme is gonna kill you if you get grass on her sofa Emmett" Jasper slaps Emmett feet off the sofa before taking a seat where they used to be.

"Yeah, I did. I didn't see one that stood out."

We need a new front desk girl to handle all of our appointments and answer emails and phone calls. Jasper opens up his phone and shakes his head.

"Well you better pick one fast we have more people wanting appointments Jake can't tattoo and be front desk for much longer. He just texted me saying he is fully booked until we get back and can't take any more appointments."

"Fine, call in Quil and Embry have them help. I'll hire someone next week to take care of the books" I lay out.

Emmett nods his head agreeing with me. Jasper quickly types a text and sends it to Jake. I know I can trust Jacob and the boys to hold down the shop till we get back.

"I'm starving y'all wanna order in?" Emmett utters after a moment.

The rest of the after noon pretty much ends up being like old times. We haven't hung out like this in a long time. Ever since opening the shop us boys have been busy so have the girls. I've heard both Jasper and Emmett bitch about not being able to see them as often.

Alice is in design school and helping my mom with her business. Rose just started mechanic trade school so it's nice to have everybody back together. Emmett brings out the tequila when the game starts I excuse myself to go have a cigarette. They are about to team up and of course I'm the odd man out.

"You told me you quit Edward!" Alice yells as I move toward the door throwing on my jacket and beanie.

"No Allie I said I was trying to quit. This is my first one all day. Be proud I lasted this long especially being around all of you who do nothing but stress me out."

"Asshole." Alice picks up a throw pillow to chuck it at me but it's too late I'm already out the door.

I go stand underneath the tree closer to the street so that I'm protected from the rain a bit. I'm lost in my thoughts about the shop when I hear footsteps coming towards me. I step out from the tree and come face to face with a girl.

Holy shit not just a girl a hot as fuck girl.

She is fucking beautiful her long hair is slightly damp from the rain. She is wearing a thin sweater not suitable for Washington. She is standing in a defensive position. Her eyes are wide I must have scared her popping out like that. Her full lips are slightly parted. My pants feel tight at the sight of her mouth.

"Hey can I bum one of those off you?" It takes me a second to realize she is talking to me. I'm staring hard. I'm aware i'm being a weirdo. Who is this beautiful woman? Her voice is a little rough like she has a cold.

I see her bottom lip go in between her teeth then she clears her throat snapping me out of my day dream.

"Oh shit, yeah, of course." I pat my pockets locating my cigarettes and lighter .

"Here." I watch her light it the tiny smile she gives me tugs something in me. "Um, I don't think I've seen you around. I'm Edward Cullen." I light another cigarette giving her my brightest smile. She smiles widely making my heart skip a beat. Fuck, what is she doing to me?

"I just moved in with Charlie. I'm Bella." I watch her take another drag of her cigarette.

"Chief Swan?" I ask wondering what the hell is Chief Swan doing over there. Since when does he have girls that look like her staying at his place? Sue is going to kick his ass.

"Yeah he's my father." her eyes are conflicted when she tells me.

I swear if was drinking something I would have spit it out. Chief Swan you dog! I mean I understand why he has her hidden. I can only imagine how many men would want her attention. I'd bet he'd have to use his gun more often around her.

"Oh wow, we moved here a few years ago, we never seen you visit I didn't know the Chief had a daughter." My free hand moves to scratch my neck. Damn just my luck she's the Chiefs daughter. The forbidden fruit.

"Yeah neither did he."

I'm shocked. Chief Swan is out here having secret daughters and hot ones at that. This is the most exciting thing that has happened in this sleepy town since Emmett decided to go streaking one fourth of July down main street. I won't say anything personally but people in this town will find out eventually. Mrs Stanley from down the street might already know. That nosy lady is better than the fucking FBI.

I study her as she takes another hit. She winces slightly turning her head to the side casting a little more light on her face. I catch the suture right above her eyebrow there are also bruises on her cheeks. I feel my eyebrows pull together and my breathing becomes shallow. Someone hurt her. Anger boils up inside me. Who the fuck would put hands on her.

I also notice she looks no older than twenty. What happened to her? Why is she here now?

"How old are you?" I ask.

Please be eighteen.

She stomps the cigarette out before answering.

"I'll be eighteen in two months."

FUCK! Seventeen?! Why does the universe hate me? Wait she said almost eighteen.

Before I can say anything else Alice opens the door and interrupts yelling something about Rose having Emmet in a headlock.

I turn back to Bella seeing her stomp out her cigarette and start to walk away from me. She thanks me for the cancer stick, my mind goes blank as my eyes fall to her ass. Fuck me. Those legs. This girl is going to be the death of me.

"Uh yeah no problem I'll see you around Bella." I stutter not knowing if she heard me.

I start to walk towards Alice still checking Bella out as I go.

"You good bro? I think there is some drool on your chin. Who was that?" Alice is talking yet I can't help but to keep staring at Bella.

Suddenly she turns to look in my direction she looks like a deer caught in headlights. Fuck she is so sexy and beautiful. I can't help but smirk as we stare at each other. In that instant I know I'm fucked. She's got me. The primal part of me is claiming her. She's the one.
