Chapter 15
Emmett's POV
I'm pretty sure I was out of my mind. But that didn't stop me.
I was riding down the highway in my silver Volvo and I didn't have a care in the world. I didn't really know where I was going, but I knew I was getting away from the house, the neighbors, and Bella.
I mean, maybe I WAS out of my mind, but so was Bella if she thought that she was going to get away with spending the day with "Edward." If that really is his name.
Who knows who he could really be? He could be an undercover agent for the NYPD or a money scammer or a sex addict who pretends to love Rosalie for "bedtime".
Maybe Rosalie was in danger too, maybe she had no idea who Edward REALLY was, or what he REALLY wanted from her.
Which means that if Bella starts hanging out with him, she's just going to get herself into a whole lot of trouble. And I'm not going to help her out of it this time.
Oh yes, there was a time before. Back in college, when Bella and I first met and started dating, she was working for a Starbucks downtown. (I guess that's how she became so addicted to coffee.) The manager, Rob, I knew was bad news from the moment Bella introduced us at his Christmas party one year. He said, "What a stunning gorgeous sexy girl you have." Bella didn't seem to notice this as she was now off in the corner talking to a friend. I decided that since she wasn't around, it would be safe to confront Rob ahead of time. "Back off," I said, my teeth clenched. He laughed it off though, thinking I was kidding. So one night Bella comes home to our shared condo, and bursts through the door crying. "He-he-he-tried-to…" She stammered, but I knew from her tear-filled eyes exactly who "he" was and what "he" was trying to do. All I could do was pull her close and be there to comfort her. I saw this coming, but if I would have told her she wouldn't of believed me.
She, of course, left the job and we never saw Rob again, but I don't think she's ever fully recovered from that experience.
But right now, I could care less. Bella knew that hanging out with strange guys that she just met was not the best thing to do considering her past experiences. And now, all I needed to do was help her remember that.
And I think I know how.
AN: KEEP GOING! I ADDED ANOTHER ONE!
