For One Night Only – Chapter 7

Sheriff Swan, sorry my dad, led me into the house which was once my home. My emotions were all over the place, I was pleased to be back here but as the same time, I was embarrassed about having nowhere else to go.

"You can take your things upstairs when you're ready," he muttered, and then sat down in his big brown leather armchair. He swivelled it around to face me, his eyes followed my movements as I lowered myself onto the matching couch.

"Thank's for letting me stay," I uttered in nervously and looked down at the floor, unable to look him in the eyes. I could imagine is disappointment in me.

"This is your home, Bella." I could sense the discomfort in his voice. He coughed to clear his throat, before he continued. "I won't deny it hurt, when you said you would stay with Rose and Emmett."

My head snapped, the knife twist in the gut as I took in his mournful expression.

"I didn't mean to hurt you," I replied, defensively.

"I am sure you didn't, but it still did."

"Sorry, dad."

We suddenly fell into an awkward silence; this gave me the opportunity to take in my surroundings and the décor. When they first moved in it was an old show home so it had a very sterile feeling to it. As I looked around the room, I noticed the framed photographs on the wall and the furniture was mismatched, making me smile.

"You've done it up really well."

"Yeah," he muttered in a typical response for him, with as fewer words as possible.

As we lulled into another round of quietness, I took in my dad's appearance. Of course, his trademark moustache was still intact just a lot greyer than I remembered, his face was a little more wrinkled, but his eyes were shining brightly. He seemed a lot happier than I remembered, marriage to Sue definitely agreed with him.

"So Emmett kicked you out?" I jumped at his voice.

"Yeah," I said on a sigh, and then looked at him curiously, how did he know that?

"Seth told me," he responded a ghost of a smile on his face as he answered my unasked question.

"How?"

"Bella, you are my daughter." I noticed how his eyes narrowed as he stared at me. "I also know everything that goes on at the Police Department."

"But…" I stammered out.

"I cannot believe how irresponsible you were," he said angrily at me, "then you had to go and blurt out your personal history to the whole bar, Bella, how could you?"

"I…" What a great time to lose my power of speech!

"I was very disappointed in you, and then you were rude to Emmett when he tried to help you." He shook his head in disgust. "How could you do that to him and when all he tried to do was help. I thought you were better than that."

"I'm sorry," I blurted out then promptly burst into tears.

"Do you realise how bad this could be for Edward? For his career?"

"I honestly don't remember last night," I admitted, the words hiccupped out as I continued to sob. The feeling of shame washed over me. I couldn't believe how I let my personal feelings take over like that, of course, being drunk didn't help the situation.

"Well that is no excuse for what you did, I think you owe some apologies, the first one being Emmett!" He suddenly stood up; he walked towards me and kissed me on the forehead. "Despite everything that has gone on, it's good to have you back home."

I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, wishing the tears would stop falling.

"You start work tonight," he told me and then sighed loudly before he promptly walked out of the house, leaving me stunned.

I don't know how long I sat there just staring at the light brown carpet, my thoughts on how much easier my life was before Edward decided to come back into it and complicate it. I really needed to take back control. Edward was nothing to me anymore, just an annoying irritation that wouldn't go away! I just wish there was a cream or pill for it!

Movement and banging up stairs brought me out of my thoughts. Great Seth was home!

Listening intently as I heard a toilet flush. Then the water running as he washed his hands and finally footsteps down the stairs. I braced myself as he walked into the living room.

"What you aren't hung-over?" he shouted loudly as he walked towards me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me up into a bear hug.

"Seth cut it out." I tried slapping him on the back to loosen his grip on me but he wasn't taking any notice.

"It's great to see you in a better mood," he laughed.

"Did I say anything bad to you?" I had to ask as we pulled apart.

"What do you think?" he asked cocking his head to one side and giving me his cheesiest grin.

"I hate you!" I slapped him on the arm, which just made him laugh as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Do you want some coffee?"

"Thanks."

"So why the melt down last night?"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Well when Jake and I walked into the bar, you were giving Emmett an earful."

"I was."

"Shit Bella, I never knew the rumours were actually true. So you were really fucking the boss!"

"Do you have to be so crass?"

"I say what I see, I won't apologise for it. Now the cat's out of the bag!" he laughed unapologetically.

"Go on tell me what did I say?" I groaned.

"I wish I could say not a lot. Unfortunately, you were on a roll. Put it like this, nearly everyone who you will be working with knows that you will never sleep with the boss again. And where he's concerned your panties are a no go area!"

"Were there a lot of people still at the bar?"

"No lucky for you most had gone, but Bella you need to be really careful."

"I know dad said I could cause Edward to lose his job."

"No B it's worse than that."

"Shit, what did I do or say?"

"There was a guy at the bar who really hates Edward, and would do anything to get back at him."

"What's that got to with me?" I asked Seth in confusion.

"Well after your little outburst I think he may know how to get Edward where it really would do damage."

"I wouldn't worry about that." I laughed harshly.

"No Bella, I think you need to watch this guy." Seth's voice sounded concerned.

"You're worrying over nothing."

"No Bella, I really think you could be on this guy's radar now, and that's really worrying. You're just lucky that Jake beat the guy to the punch and took you home."

"Wait? What?"

"You went home with Jake last night."

"I had sex with Jake!" I suddenly felt totally grossed out and instantly wanted to throw up. There's no way in hell, I would have sex with Jacob Black that would be like incest!

"Do you really think that you and Jake would bump uglies?" Seth laughed. I hit him hard.

"But I woke up naked in a bed!"

"Well just because you didn't have sex doesn't mean he wouldn't try and cop a feel!"

"Gross Seth!" I went to slap him again but he dodged out of the way.

"I am sure there is a perfectly logical explanation as to why you woke up naked."

"Yeah, Jacob Black is a pervert!"

"Besides that!"

"How will I face him again?"

"Catch him naked."

"I don't think so."

"You'll just have to live with it then."

We bantered for a while then Seth helped me with my cases and he told me to have a nap before we went into work. I was relieved when Seth told me we were working the same shift.

When Seth knocked on my door to wake me, it was dark. I groaned and rubbed my face with my hands, boy I needed that nap!

I made my way to the bathroom and quickly showered. Seth, bless him, had made us a sandwich to eat on our way to work.

Once the sandwiches had gone, the drive into work was silent. I suddenly wished I had not eaten the sandwich because my stomach was now in turmoil and I suddenly felt the need to throw up.

By the time that Seth had pulled up into the stations parking lot, my hands and face felt clammy. Seth looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"No one will bite you." I could hear the laughter in his voice. My reply was a sarcastic smile.

As I got out of the car, I nearly fell flat on my face. Stupid seatbelts!

Strong arms caught my arms and pulled me against a rock hard trunk, the smell of sweat, nicotine and whisky hit the back of my nostrils, I almost did lose my sandwich.

"Sorry," I muttered as I placed my palms against the person's chest and tried to push away from him. His grip tightened, hurting me. I winced and snapped my head up to look my rescuers face, I could not see a lot due to the darkness, but what I could see made me gulp, his facial expression was that of a hungry man. He leaned in closer and sniffed my hair. I stiffened.

"Well, hello again," he said as he moved his nose down the side of my head and a cross my cheek, before he moved away a few inches. His stale breath fanned my face, the smell of whiskey and cigarettes hit my nostrils, which made me heave.

"I'm sorry but I don't know you," I stammered nervously and tried to pull my arm from his tight grasp.

"Oh come on now babe," he smirked evilly at me as I winced at his tight grip, I felt a sudden wave of terror. "Maybe you need reminding what we got up to last night."

"Leave me alone," I said shakily, as I fought back the nausea. A sudden sense of dread washed over me. Instinct told me this guy was really bad news. I wondered if he was the one that Seth had warned me about. The lust that was evident in his eyes made me want to run and find Edward!

His facial expression changed instantly, it twisted angrily and his eyes narrowed as he glared at me. He looked very dangerous. I cried out when his grip became vice like grip, his lips moved to my ear and he snarled, "Don't think this is over Princess. You owe me and I will collect!"

I found myself on the floor dazed, after he had pushed me into the car door.

Seth to me and tried to help me off the ground but, I wanted to calm myself before I even attempted to get up.

"B are you Okay?" he asked as he helped me up. I slumped against him as I tried to catch my breath. I felt a twinge in my back where I had it the car with force.

"Who was that?" I asked still shaken.

"That was the guy you nearly went home with last night."

"Oh God no!" I closed my eyes and shuddered. Surely all the alcohol in the world would not be enough to warrant going home with that creepo!

"Yeah, exactly!"

I stuck my tongue out at Seth, to try and hide how affected I was by the incident. I made a discussion that I was not drinking again, not with that slime ball around.

"Just hope and pray that Masen doesn't find out," Seth said as he put his hand on my back and guided me towards the building.

"Why?"

"They hate each other."

"What's that got to do with this incident?" Where was he going with this?

"Come on B don't act dumb."

"I really don't have a clue what you mean."

"Let's just hope that Masen doesn't look at the security cameras!" Seth said as we walked through the electric doors.

To say, I was stunned by the transformation of the department would be an understatement. When I left this place it was dark and dreary. Now it was bright, light and new.

"It looks so clean and fresh," I said in awe.

"Yeah it looks like a new building." He laughed at me, "Wait till you see Masen's Office."

I turned to him and narrowed my eyes suspiciously. He just shook his head in amusement and pulled me towards the locker rooms.

Once in the locker room Sue was just getting dressed into her civilian clothes and she smiled at me.

"Thanks for letting me stay," I said feeling slightly awkward.

"You know you are more than welcome."

"I know but I feel, well…" I trailed off, embarrassed.

"You are family." She put her hand on my shoulder and gave me a gentle squeeze. I looked up and gave her a shy smile.

"This one's yours," she said as she pointed to a locker with a key in it. "The stuff should fit."

"Thanks."

"Good luck with your supervisor," she said with a smile as she picked her purse up and walked out.

I quickly changed clothes and put on my vest wondering what the night would bring.

I walked out of the locker room then just stood there for a few minutes, where do I go now?

When someone pushed by me and nearly knocked me back into the locker room. It was a woman dressed in tight fitting black jeans, an equally tight top, her hair was a dirty blonde color, which hung loosely down her back. She never apologised for bashing into me.

I chose to follow her path hoping it would lead me to where I needed to be. She stopped at a door, knocked once then walked in.

"I've missed you Eddie." Her voice was sickly sweet, almost childlike.

I smirked to myself as I walked by the door that said 'E Masen – Supervisor.'

The woman must have been Lauren. I waited for the jealousy to strike, but it never came, I shook my head in amazement. Why did I not feel jealous?

But then again if I really thought about it, if he was doing anything with her he would have to gag her first, because I knew that her voice alone would annoy the hell out of him. By the time, I found my way to the restroom I was in hysterics.

When I walked into the room, I had tears of laughter streaming down my face. Three people looked up at me as I walked into the room. One of them was Seth, who sat on one of the chairs his arms spread out over the backs; he looked up at me and smirked. I sat next to him and tried to compose myself.

He introduced me to the other two people, I thought they were married because their surname was the same but I found out they were brother and sister.

Before I managed to open my mouth, the door burst open and Lauren walked in.

I wish I could say she was beautiful, but I would be lying. Everything about her said false. Her blond hair looked too blond to be natural, her tits looked false, and her face looked too well made up. She actually looked more like a showgirl than a CSI officer.

She told us that it was just the four of us tonight because she needed to be in the lab, because they were short and Edward was stuck doing paper work.

"Would you like me to help with the lab work?" I offered my services.

"No." That was all she gave me, as she glared at me.

"Just asking," I said wondering what had crawled up her ass!

"The best place for you is out in the field, you need to get a feel for the streets."

"Will I be tagging along with someone?" I asked.

"When we are short on resources, I am sure you will be okay princess, if not you could always run to daddy!" She looked at me a smirk on her ruby red lips. She turned on her heels and left.

"What's her problem?" I asked indignantly.

"She's jealous." Seth laughed.

"Of what?" I laughed back.

"Bella she's been after Masen for years and now you turn up and he's totally ignoring her."

"That's not what I heard." I scowl at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say that I have it on good authority that he wants her!"

"Whoever told you that was full of bullshit!"

"Well you tell Mr Masen that then." I stormed out at that.

XXX

The first few hours were quite mundane and I got to tag along with Seth after all, the worst part of that was Emmett was the arresting officer and to say there was a frosty atmosphere between us was an understatement. When we got back to the station I tried to talk to him, but he just glared at me and walked off. That's when I saw Mr Slime ball again, he was leaned against the wall and clapped as I watched Emmett walk off. I gulped as he slowly sauntered. I gulped and looked around in a sudden panic, how could I escape him?

"There you are Swan."

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, I had never been so relieved in my life.

"You are going to the hospital." Lauren demanded.

"Why?"

"You better make sure you have a rape kit with you."

"Which hospital? Who am I looking for? Who is the vicitim?"

"Go to the ER at Sunrise Hospital and ask for Dr Cullen."

"Dr Cullen?" I asked stunned.

"Are you deaf or something?" She sighed heavily, "how do I always get them?"

As she walked off, I stood gapping after her, before I shook myself out of my stupor and rushed to get the stuff I would need for the hospital.

XXX

It took me longer than I thought it would to get to the hospital, stupid GPS!

When I made it to the ER reception desk, I was out of breath. I leaned my hands on the edge and tried to catch my breath.

"Honey, you cannot just stand there."

"Sorry," I said breathlessly.

"You need to move."

I held up a finger and took a few deep breaths. "I'm here to see Dr Cullen."

"Aren't we all!" she sighed.

"I know what you mean, but I have been told to ask for him."

"Oh you're here for her?"

I looked at her with a quirked eyebrow, "For who?"

"Lady T" the receptionist said with air quotes, "as she likes to be called got rushed in here about thirty minutes ago."

"Where can I find her?"

"No you will have to go through Dr Cullen."

"Why?"

"Not sure, but he asked to be paged when you guys showed up."

"Okay… so?" I prompted.

"Oh yeah sorry," she said embarrassed. Then she quickly paged him.

I went to sit on one of the few empty seats while I waited for him to answer his call.

I saw him before he saw me. I stood and made my way towards him.

"We meet again Dr Cullen," I stretched my arm out to shake hands; he looked at it before he took it in his. When his eyes met mine, he looked surprised.

"Are you here for the rape victim?" he asked.

"Just lead the way," I replied hoping I sounded more confident than I was. There was something in his shocked expression that made me doubt my own ability to do this.

"Did Edward send you?" he asked without looking at me.

"No, my supervisor sent me," I replied then followed him. On either side of us, there were shut curtains. You could hear the murmurs of the patients, the odd cough, a groan or too of pain, and my favourite the vomiting!

The smell of vomit mixed with the hospital cleansers ways very heady and my head started to pulse. I hate hospitals for this reason.

He turned to the left and opened a door to a private room.

"She's in here," he said and let me walk into the room, and then he left me with the victim.

Only a wall light lighted the room, the woman on the bed turned to face me, the smile on her face faulted as she looked at me.

"You're not Edward," she stated. I noticed she had a Slavic accent.

"No." What else could I say? Why were you fucking the man I loved at the same time as me? Yeah that would go down really well!

"You are new."

"Not really."

"Why are you here?"

"I am here to take some samples and your clothing."

"Where is Edward?"

"I know how to do my job!" I said starting to feel irritated.

"No he doesn't let anyone else handle me."

"Well he can be a bit possessive," I replied unable to stop the bitterness of my words.

She looked at me her eyes widened, and then narrowed them as she moved her head to the side and appraised me. "What's your name?"

"Bella Swan."

"It's you!"

"Excuse me?" I asked, confused.

"Sorry, I just thought I would never get to meet you and yet here you are."

"Look shall we get started," I said ignoring her and opened my bag.

While I got the things, I would need. She took her clothes off and changed into hospital scrubs.

She kept asking me questions while I took swabs and photographs of her injuries. I was just taking the last photo of her neck when the door burst open.

"Why is there an incompetent rookie in here?" Edward's angry voice bounced off the walls. He grabbed my arm and yanked me out of the room.

He slammed the door shut and spun me around to face him.

"Fuck!" he swore loudly as he looked at me in surprise. I just gapped at him in shock.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me through gritted teeth, I knew he was furious because he held the bridge of his nose and he looked like he was counting.

"I was sent by Lauren."

"Fuck! Fuck!" He growled out as he turned and banged his forehead against the wall a few times. I was dumbfounded. Why was he doing this?

I moved without thinking and put my hand on his shoulder, he flinched under my touch. I moved my hand away quickly.

"Edward, please stop that."

He did as I said and stood straight, his hands rubbed his cheeks a few times before he turned to face me.

"What did she say to you?" he asked, his face looked calm, but his eyes were telling me a different story.

"Why?"

"Isabella." He moved closer to me.

"What are you wondering if we compared notes?" I asked as I folded my arms in front of me and gave him a defiant look. My heart pounded against my rib cage, I knew I was playing with fire but I didn't care.

He moved closer still, he was entering my personal space. I wish I could say it didn't affect me, but my skin felt like it was suddenly on fire, my breath hitched and my nipples were erect as they pushed uncomfortably against my lacy bra!

"There would be no comparison," Edward whispered thickly. Suddenly I found myself pinned against the wall, his hands either side of my head.

"Well that's obvious because I would never beat the shit out of you for kicks!" I replied haughtily and tried to push him away from me. I think I must have shocked him with my words because I managed to escape easily.

I walked back into the room; I noticed Lady T had put my camera back in my bag. I tried to smile at her but I think it must have looked more like a grimace.

"Our relationship isn't like that," she stated.

I just shook my head. I picked my bag up and turned to leave. Edward stood in the doorway, blocking my only exit.

"Please let me go," I begged as I walked up to him.

"I wish it was that easy," he replied, his hand snaked up and took a lock of air between his fingers.

"You found it easy when I left for New York," I bit back, jerking my head away from his fingers.

"You played me for a fool," he accused bitterly.

"I told you I loved you, and then you ran for the hills," I cried in anguish.

"You were fucking someone else!"

"What?" I shouted unable to believe my ears, "you were my world why would I want to sleep with someone else?"

"Bella I followed you to his house, you even told him you loved him. I just cannot believe you would mess with a married man."

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked bewildered, "look I know you wanted out of the relationship but to say I was fucking a married man, that's just wrong. Why don't you man up to it you were scared and you wanted an out."

"Oh no, you are not putting this on me, I just want to know one thing did you do it to further your career or was it just because he was willing?"

"Okay I will go with it, who is this imaginary guy I was fucking besides you?"

"Sheriff Swan!" He bellowed.

I gapped at him, did I really hear him right.

"Excuse me?" I choked out.

"I heard you tell Sheriff Swan that you love him. Did you do it to further your career?"

I slapped him hard; it must have been hard because my hand stung.

"You really are a fucking idiot!" I shouted.

Dr Cullen walked into the room then, he glared at Edward and I.

"Can you please take your disagreements outside, the people in this place are sick and they don't want to hear your raised voices."

"I think you need to check Mr Masen, he's really sick." I bit out.

"You were the one who was fu… sleeping with a man old enough to be your father."

Lady T laughed at that and we both turned to look at her. She looked at me and winked. I blinked in surprise and realised that she knew.

"Well stupid you just hit the nail on the head."

"What?" he shouted.

"I couldn't fu… sleep with Sheriff Swan because it would be incest," I sighed in defeat, why should I explain myself.

"What are you talking about?" he demanded as he moved towards me.

"Sheriff Swan is my dad you moron," I stated and walked out of the room, before he responded.
