Just want to let you know now, that I'm not regular with my updates. I'm constantly busy and occupied with other stuff. So sorry about that.
Anyway, thanks to Random-Girl87 for checking this through :)
Edward Masen
Friday 28th November 2009
I ran my hand through my bronze locks and looked at myself in the mirror again. I don't scrub up half bad. My black skinny jeans and navy blue shirt complimented each other, the only thing wrong were my scruffy black converses.
Rose and her boyfriend were picking me up in less than five minutes. They planned on taking me to the town's best club and introducing me to 'great' people, as Rose put it, but not including her brother's fiancée. Damn Rose hates her.
I was expecting Carlisle and Esme to have some sort of stupid rule for me to follow tonight. All I knew was that I had to be home for midnight and I wasn't allowed to get drunk, which loosely implies not to get drunk at home, but outside, go for it. Like they can try and stop me, I need a good night out and alcohol always equals a good night.
I switched the light off in my room and headed down stairs. Esme and Carlisle were talking in the kitchen. I stopped by the bookcase in the corridor and noticed a tray of blankets on top of a few books. I need those blankets otherwise I will bloody freeze at night.
"Its winter Carlisle… a few blankets won't hurt."
"Now it's a few blankets, then what? Eh? Tell me Esme then what?"
"I don't know."
"Of course you don't know, women never know."
"I'm sorry, dear."
"I'm sure you are."
I coughed to get my presence noticed. Esme turned away and hurried to the utility room. I turned to face Carlisle, who was glaring at me.
"Don't you dare sneak up on us like that Edward Masen!" Carlisle shouted, what the hell have I done wrong now?
"I didn't mean too… I was just… I saw the blankets and thought-"
"Thought what Edward?"
"Could I borrow a couple? I got really cold last night… and was meaning to ask Esme earlier."
"Of course Edward, why didn't you say?" Carlisle asked me as he walked out of the kitchen. I turned to follow him.
"I guess I just forgot." I replied stupidly.
"Here you go then… I hope this will make your night a lot warmer." Carlisle handed me the whole pile of blankets on the books.
"Oh… I don't need all of them, only a few." I said.
"No, no, it'll get colder; once we hit December, you'll need them all trust me." he smiled.
"Thanks."
"Carlisle, the boy doesn't need all the blankets." Esme said, walking up to her husband. Yes I do.
"Esme, I'll decide whether to boy needs the blankets or not… now take these and put them in Edward's room." Carlisle said taking the blankets from me and shoving them to Esme. Now I feel bad.
"Okay." Esme whispered and walked past us.
"I feel bad, but you've got to show whose boss around here, understand me?" I nodded. I heard Esme walk back down stairs and back towards us.
"Edward, you have a lot of boxes in your room." she said as Carlisle wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Yeah I know and I've got more arriving soon." I said leaning against the cellar door.
"Where on Earth will you put them?" Carlisle asked me.
"Err… I was thinking maybe putting them in the cellar." I said tapping the door behind me. "Only a few and until I can sort them all out, Rose said to ask you."
"Did she now?" I nodded. "The answers no Edward, you shouldn't have brought so much stuff." Carlisle said and left Esme and I alone in the corridor.
"It wouldn't be for long." I muttered to Esme.
"You heard Carlisle, no." she replied. A car horn blasted from outside, making us both jump.
"That's my call… I'll see you before midnight." I said smiling.
"We better." Esme giggled, finally breakthrough.
I never made the connection that pizza boy Emmett was the lion in bed Emmett and it was suppose to be a small town.
Along with Rose and Emmett, I walked through the crowded bar, listening to crap blasting out from the speakers. It was an old looking bar and was jam-packed full of horny twenty year olds looking to get laid, I fit in perfectly.
Rose and Emmett led me over to a table, which already had people sitting and chatting around it.
"Hey everyone!" Emmett boomed, ruffling a blonde haired guy's hair.
"Hey!" Rose said hugging the same guy. "Everyone this is Edward, he's staying with Carlisle and Esme." I smiled and looked around the table. "Edward, these are my best pals in the whole entire world Mike and Jared." She said pointing to a blonde haired guy, who was very nicely dressed; Mike, Jared was Native American. "This is my awesome twin Jasper." I shook hands with the blonde haired guy. "And this is Alice" she said with out even properly acknowledging her. Emmett and Rose sat down, and I sat next to Jared.
Emmett ordered us our drinks, on the house. Turns out he and Rose were the bars best customers.
"So Edward, what brings you to Folks?" Mike asked leaning across Jared.
"I had no where else to stay and I was broke, so it was this or the streets." I replied honestly.
"Poor you… do you have a job yet?" Mike asked. I shook my head.
"Carlisle and Esme won't like that." Alice said.
"What would you know Alice?" Rose said bitterly.
"They hate slackers." Alice just replied.
"I'm going to look on Monday, see what's about." I told them.
"What sort of job you looking for?" Jasper asked, I just shrugged my shoulders, good question. "Emmett are they still looking for a new pizza boy, or have people finally realised that it is a job that has no future?" Jasper laughed.
"Fuck off Jasper, I'm the best pizza boy in this town, I won an award." Emmett sulked.
"You're the only one baby." Rose said kissing his cheek.
"Edward could join you… you start your own business." Mike said.
"You good with money Edward?" Emmett asked.
"No." I laughed and decided not to tell them of how I lost all my inheritance. "Buts that's a good idea though, simple. Is the pay good?" I asked Emmett.
"When you're the only one, yeah it is. Few hundred a week, people like pizza in this town. I could talk to the restaurant for you."
"Would you?"
"Yeah, sure, it'll be cool to have someone else on the job."
"Thanks, then." That took some stress off me. I could be a pizza boy.
I found myself starting to relax as the night went on. These weren't half bad people, but I see what Rose meant about Alice being an annoying bitch. Jared hardly spoke and when he did it was only to Mike. Mike, well, Mike, how to put it? He was interesting to say the least and no doubt that he was gay, he stunk of it.
"Edward, do you like to go in the front or back door when you enter?" Mike asked me bluntly. I spat out my drink.
"Err… the front?"
"Damn, they say the hot ones are gay, guess their wrong." Mike complained.
"Sorry?" I replied confused, was that a compliment?
"Cheers Mike, that makes me feel great." Jared said turning away from Mike.
"Babes, no, you're the only one for me." Mike said pulling at his arm. Should have known Jared was gay.
"I better be, Mike Newton." Jared replied, facing him again.
I looked around the table and saw everyone paired off. Great, still single and still need to get laid.
"Don't I feel the odd one out." I laughed and downed my drink in one.
"Dude, don't worry, I'll find you some ass." Emmett chuckled.
"How long since you last had some?" Rose asked.
"That's too personal Rosalie." Alice said folding her arms.
"That's too bad Alison and no one calls me Rosalie, keep up." Alice rolled her eyes. "Any way, so how long?" Rose asked again.
"Like a month before I moved here." Lie.
"You lying" Emmett said. What?
"Err-"
"It's like a gift." He shrugged his shoulders. "Tell the truth."
"Three months." Lie.
"Liar!"
"Six months." Lie.
"Liar!"
"A year." Lie.
"Liar!"
"Fine! Eighteen months!" Emmett gasped.
"You're not lying!" I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry Edward; Emmett will fix it for you." Lucky me.
Emmett had to be taking the piss. Every blonde haired girl we came across at the bar he pulled over and tried to see if they were interested in me. Thankfully most of them were, but I wasn't interested in them.
"Seriously Em, blondes don't do it for me!" I complained across the table.
"Cheers Masen!" Rose shouted.
"Well your taken." I laughed.
"Edward, doesn't matter what hair colour they have… as long as their willing to bed you." Emmett had a point.
"But still…"
"Well what are you interested in?" Jasper asked me.
"I prefer natural brunettes." I replied.
"I like you Edward." Alice laughed.
"So we're on the look out for brunettes, anything else?" Mike asked.
"It doesn't have to be a perfect match… as long as he gets laid." Jared laughed, ruffling Mike's hair. "Guys, just leave him alone, he'll get girls by himself and he'll have no trouble."
"Jared, you're my new favourite." I said wrapping my arm around his shoulder, laughing.
"Hey!" Emmett moaned. "Thought I was your favourite, you met me first."
"Stop whining, baby, it doesn't suit you and besides I'm his favourite." Rose laughed
"Yeah, well like he said, I'm his favourite now." Jared laughed.
"Err, Edward, we'll need to be heading home soon. It's like quarter to twelve." I nodded.
"You have a curfew?" Mike asked. I nodded.
"Of course he does, he's living with Carlisle and Esme." Jasper laughed.
"Oh yeah… wow, man that's must be hard." Jared said.
"I can just about tolerate them." Rose muttered.
The drive back, was quiet; we were all in deep thought. Well apart from me, I was still thinking about my dick wanting some action; I am so low.
Emmett pulled outside the Cullen's house. Rose turned to face me from the front seat.
"So we'll be seeing you on Sunday for dinner?" she asked.
"Do you usually come round?" Emmett nodded. "Then yeah, I guess I will be seeing you."
"Jasper and Alice will be coming as well." Emmett said, looking at me through the mirror.
"Do they go to church, because I'm drawing the line there?" I asked. You will never get me into a church to pray.
"Esme does, but Carlisle doesn't. Alice and Esme usually go together, then they come back and we have Sunday roast." Rose told me.
"Okay then… see you Sunday." I said opening the car door. "Thanks for tonight."
"See you, oh and Edward?" I turned to face Emmett. "I'll check at the restaurant for that job."
"Cheers Em… bye." I got out of the car and closed the door behind me. Rose waved goodbye as Emmett drove off.
I closed the front door behind me and put my house keys down on the hallway cabinet. The downstairs lights were still on, damn, I'm going to have to talk to them. I kicked my shoes off and hung my jacket up on the peg. My mouth was dry; need a glass of water and fast.
"What time do you call this?" Carlisle asked, I stopped by the doorway and leaned in. He was sitting on the couch, with a glass of brandy, just staring at the wall.
"Err… midnight?" I replied.
"No, its 12:13, your thirteen minutes late, Edward." He said turning to face me.
"Oh… sorry." I muttered.
"Edward, we gave you these rules for a reason. We don't expect you to abuse them!" he started to shout. "Every thing we do has a reason Edward and we don't need you to come and fuck it all up."
"Look, Carlisle, sorry I'm late, we left early… I won't break any more rules, don't worry." Can I just go and get a drink?
"Don't lie to me Edward!"
"What?" now I was confused.
"You've been drinking?" he questioned.
"Yes, it's legal, I'm 21." I stated.
"You have in fact broken two of our rules also…" he stood up and walked over to me.
"They would be?"
"You've had alcohol, rule number 5, no alcohol or drugs, and you've had alcohol-"
"You expect me to drink water all night Carlisle, its Friday night, I'm allowed to have a drink and besides, those rules are for this house, not the town. I'm allowed to drink outside your front door and I know what you say the other rule is… I'm not drunk, I'm not tipsy, I've barely had anything, and beer has a strong smell." I told him.
"Ungrateful git… you want to be back on the streets?" I shook my head. "Don't you EVER speak to me in that tone again, other wise you'll be on the streets worse off then you were before, do you understand me?"
"You don't scare me-"
"Do you understand me, Edward Masen?" I looked away and nodded.
"Now piss off to your room and come back when you're ready to apologise to me." excuse me?
"I'll just get a drink and say goodnight to Esme-"
"Just piss off!" he shouted.
"Fine! Just tell her I said goodnight." I turned away and sprinted up the stairs. What a tosser.
I lay in my room, listening to Carlisle and Esme's muffled sounds. They seemed to be talking about a cruise of some sorts, lucky for them. I don't get it; I have to be in my room by midnight, yet they don't. Yeah, I get that's it's their house and they can do what they want, but still I'm an adult also.
I couldn't get off to sleep; it was too cold, even with these extra blankets and my hoody.
The wind was again battering against my windows, just fucking great.
Finally, I could feel myself, gently falling off to sleep, with my eyes drooping closed, that last thing I heard…
"Edward says goodnight."
Reviews me alot to me... :)
Hope you enjoyed.
