I took my shot and delivered a perfect break, sinking the 9 ball. I look up to the guys staring, all their mouths hanging open. I walk over to each one and close their jaws. I then walk back over to the table and take my next shot. (AN: sorry I don't know the rules of pool so if it wrong forgive me.) I line up the stick and shoot sinking the 13 ball. My next shot I missed and now it's Emmett's turn. Looking at all of them I see they are all still staring at me.
"You know it's rude to stare at people. Emmett you're up."
Finally he snaps out of it and walks over to examine the table. He takes a shot and in goes the 5 ball. Two shots later he has also sank the 1 and the 4. His fourth shot he misses and it's back to me. I get the 10,15, and 12. Two more balls to go and then the 8 and I win. I line the stick and in goes the 14. The next shot I miss and it's back to Emmett. He hits the 3 and 7 and misses the next shot. Just two more and the game is mine. Taking my shot I hit the 14. I move around the table to get the right angle and in goes the 8 ball.
"YES!"
Emmett's eyes go wide and he looks at me.
"What the hell, I thought you said you're not the best?"
"I'm not but I'm a pretty close second. My dad is the best."
Jasper and Edward are laughing and Emmett is pouting.
"Wow Bella I am impressed."
Edward comes over and gives me a high five and a smile while handing me a beer.
"Alright Jasper you ready?"
Edward and Jasper rack them up and start their game. It's pretty close but Jasper ends up taking the game. We all decided to take a break before Jasper and I go. I look at my phone and see its 3 and I have a text from Rose asking if 7:30 was ok for dinner. I text back yes and slide my phone back into my pocket. We go sit back at our table and order another round of beer and cheese fries.
"Bella I'm glad you came with us it's been fun getting to know you. I can tell you're going to fit in just fine with us."
"Awe thanks Edward. I'm glad too y'all are pretty cool."
We spend the next hour talking and I get to know the guys better. Every now and and then I catch Edward looking at me, I only catch him because I keep looking at him. I can't help it though he is probably one of the best looking guys I have ever met. He is also really sweet and smart. I hear stories about him and Emmet's childhood and pranks they pulled on Alice. I also hear about how Rose spent summers in Texas with Jasper and all the fun things they did on his family's farm.
Finally after many stories and lots of laughs we decided to get up and play our last round of pool. Jasper racked up the balls and we flipped a coin to see who gets to break. Jasper won. After going back and forth it was down to one last shot the 8 ball, and it was my shot. I bend over and line the stick up with the ball. Pulling it back I shoot.
"I knew it! Edward you owe me 20 bucks!"
I look over at them and see Edward hand Emmett a 20.
"You betted against me?"
"I'm sorry Bella, you are good but Jasper has never lost a game, well until now."
"It's ok haha at least Emmett believed in me."
"Hell yeah little Bells."
He runs over and picks me up spinning me around.
"Next round is on me thanks to Edward."
"Sorry boys but it's time for me to go, I got a hot date tonight and need to go home and shower."
"Damn Bella it's been two days and you already got a date?"
I started laughing at Emmett's excitement. Jasper was laughing along with me and Edward looked like he was frowning. Weird.
"No Emmett haha I'm going out with Rose."
"Can I come...please Bella?"
He was giving me the puppy dog eyes.
"No Emmett girls only sorry."
With that I grabbed my stuff and walked out the bar. Not even five minutes later I hear Edward calling my name.
"Hey Bella can I walk back with you? Emmett and Jasper decided to stay a little while longer and I was ready to leave."
"Sure Edward."
We walk in silence for awhile, it's not uncomfortable or awkward, just silent.
"So this is your first time in New York right?"
"Yes it is."
"Ok then how about tomorrow I will be your personal tour guide? I have work until one but after that I am free all day."
"That sounds like fun! Rose showed me around a little the first night I got here, but yes I would like that. I work till 12 tomorrow so just come by and get me when you're ready."
We make it to the apartments and finalize our plans for tomorrow. Going in my apartment I don't see Rose but I hear her shower. I go into my room and strip out of my jeans and shirt leaving me in just my bra and underwear. I throw my hair up in a bun and go to start the shower. It's 5:15 so I have plenty of time to get ready. After showering I get a clean bra and underwear and stand in front of the mirror and do my makeup. Going in into my room I put on a nice pair of dark jeans and a halter. Slipping on some sandals and grabbing my purse I walked out into the living room and Rose was sitting on the couch.
"Don't you look nice. How was your afternoon with the boys?"
"Thank you and it was good I heard some stories about your summers on the farm."
Her eyes go wide.
"He did not! I'm going to kill Jasper!"
We walked out the door and got in Rose's car and drove to a cute little italian place about 15 minutes away. The food was amazing and Rose and I had a great time. Meeting her friends and getting along so well with everyone I knew I made the right decision moving here. Everything was starting to fall back into place. I was no longer constantly thinking about Jacob and what he did. I had new friends and a new job, and I feel like this is where I belong.
Arthur's Note: Hey guys hope y'all enjoyed chapter five, the next chapter will be all about Edward and Bella. Please review nad let me know what you think! Also I have been working on a new story. I can't do one thing at a time so after this story is complete there should be another one on the way, but that is going to be awhile from now. I am hoping to have this story done by the end of the year, but don't hold me to that.
