DISCLAIMER: TWILIGHT IS NOT MINE.
AN: So, you guys' reviews were great, I have to say. A lot of you enjoyed the stunt that Emmett pulled on the guys and then what the girls had to do. I had no idea that girls kissing was so popular. I might just have to bring it back…
About the comment from Edward and Emmett in the last chapter. Edward made a comment about Emmett thinking that he was gay. And then about the hard on Edward had when Emmett jumped on him. Alice asked who he was thinking of and Edward refused to answer. To get the full details on that part of the story, go back to chapter 11 and scroll down to Edward's POV. That's where the exchange happens and where Emmett walks in on him and you find out what Edward was thinking of. Then re-read the last chapter. It should make sense then. If not, let me know and I will tell you.
Lots of stuff happening in this chapter. Hope you all follow along and let me know what you think! Really, this story still has its surprises…and this is one of them. Also, Bella learns something today…something that a good number of you have been waiting for…
Song: Meet Virginia by Train
BPOV
I woke up Monday morning to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I opened my eyes, wondering if I was dreaming and then realizing that I wasn't. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone, noticing it was 8:30 in the morning.
"Hello?"
"Yes, Bella?"
It was my agent, Kent Sanders.
"Oh hello Sanders. What's up?"
"Listen Bella, I think I've found a job for you that starts tomorrow. I need for you to attend a casting meeting so you can meet your co-star this morning. Think you can be here by 9:30?"
"Of course I can."
That gave me only an hour, but I was going to take it. From the information that Sanders was giving me, this was going to be a huge deal. They were looking for the right girl and after showing them some of my recordings, Sanders was able to land the deal for me. I didn't object. I trusted him completely with my jobs. He always did great at finding me stuff that I was good at. In all honesty, he made me look good.
I quickly jumped into the shower trying my best to move as fast as I could. I didn't want to look like a total slob when I arrived for the meeting. Even though the job was a for sure, I didn't want my co-star to think he was looking at a total slob.
I walked out into the living room looking for my two roommates when I found a note on the fridge.
Sleepy head,
Rose and I went shopping; didn't want to waste the day away like you seem to. Will arrive back at home by 10.
See you then!
Love Alice.
I smiled at her little crack at me. I had never understood why the only reason Rose ever woke up early for was to go shopping. I was thankful they let me sleep though. Knowing Alice, she probably tried to wake me up, but I was probably so dead, she must've not succeeded.
I wrote my own note to her:
Alice,
Sanders called. Have a meeting at 9:30 so will call you when out.
Wish me luck!
Love, Bella.
P.S. You better not have spent any money on me. I'll make you return any hootchie clothes you bought!!
I smiled at my note. Knowing Alice, and I do, she bought me the most outrageous outfit known to man. Hopefully, she'll heed my warning. Probably not, but at least I tried.
I drove myself over to Sanders' office thinking what my next job would be. I couldn't believe some people's imaginations, some of their fetishes. But I suppose whatever floats their boats.
Jasper flooded my memory as I thought about how far we'd come since my last job. It seemed like so long ago that I was filming with him. Little did I know of all that would come out of it. Alice's soul mate, Rosalie's soul mate and Edward.
Edward.
My heart clenched as I thought of him. I sighed and put him out of my mind. I needed to focus on my job, not think of my forbidden fruit. There will be no more line crossing with him. None whatsoever.
After I was done lying to myself, I pulled up to the office building. It was 9:25 so I rushed into the building, hoping I wasn't going to be too late. The elevator took its sweet time making its way to me and I would've taken the stairs, but knowing my luck, I would trip and fall in my haste, thus breaking my ankle and leaving me incapacitated for the next 6 weeks or so.
I finally boarded the elevator and I reached the 11th floor at exactly 9:30. I stumbled to the conference room Sanders said he'd be in and I smoothed down my hair and shirt before walking into the room.
I took a deep breath and walked in, seeing Sanders standing right in front of me with his back to me. He turned and smiled taking my hand.
"Bella! So good of you to come. I'd like you to meet Mr. Gonzalez, you're co-stars agent."
"Hello Mr. Gonzalez, so nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Bella. And might I say, you are very beautiful; I believe this movie will be just perfect!"
I smiled at him as he shifted the weight of his body to the side.
"Bella Swan, I'd like you to meet Emmett McCarty, you're new co-star."
Holy Fuck.
I thought I was going to faint.
EmPOV
I woke up on Monday morning, not being able to go back to bed. I tossed and turned, but try as I might, it was hard to close my eyes back to fall asleep.
I glanced at my clock and realized it was only 8:00 am. I sighed and decided to take my shower. Maybe I could see Rose earlier than planned today.
Rosalie.
The name itself brought on a big goofy grin. I had no doubt that beautiful woman was made for me. I mean, it's like she gets me. She understands me and my sense of humor. When Jasper and Edward roll their eyes or think my comments are stupid, Rosalie smiles and laughs, sometimes inputting her own thoughts as well.
And hell. The sex. God, she was so good. She could make me cum just be a look or a squeeze of my cock. And that woman was not afraid to try anything either. I mean, just look at what she did with Alice and Bella. The things she could do with her fucking mouth…
I needed to stop that train of thought and quick. I knew that when I saw her today, I was probably going to end up taking her. Poor Rosalie…I'm surprised I hadn't broken her already.
I went into my room to get dressed when my cell phone went off. I looked around my room, trying to find the spot where the noise was coming from. I wasn't exactly the neatest person on the planet, so my clothes were kind of strewn all over the room, which made it difficult to find my phone.
I moved over a shirt that was thrown on my dresser and found my cell. I quickly opened it up and saw it was my agent Gonzalez.
"Hey my man, what's up?"
"Emmett! How are you?"
"Doing good, you know. How about you? How's the wife and kid?"
"Oh, their doing great! She's pregnant again, just found out. She's almost 3 months along now. We're ecstatic!"
Gonzalez, my agent, was a great guy. A family man. His wife was another agent that worked in the same field as he did, which is the way they met. They had the same dreams and even wanted a bunch of little rug rats running around their home.
"That's great man! Super really. Please send my congratulations over her way!"
"Will do. So, the reason for my calling was because I've got a job for you. Wanted to know if you were interested."
"Of course man! What do I need to do?"
"Just come here by 9:30 this morning. You'll be meeting your co-star and we'll give you all the details there. Think you could make it?"
"Yep. In fact, I just got out of the shower. I'll be there in a few."
I hung up the phone and rejoiced in my luck. This was great, another job. I quickly got dressed and went into the living room looking for the guys. Edward was the only one up.
"Hey Em. Why are you dressed? Got someplace to go with Rose?"
"No, actually, I couldn't go back to bed so I got showered. But, I just got a call from Gonzalez and I've got a meeting at 9:30. I'll be meeting my co-star there. Supposed to be getting all the details at the meeting."
"That's great Emmett! Will you call when it's done? I'd like to know what you'd be doing."
"Of course! Anyway, I've got to call Rose. She doesn't know yet."
I made my way to the living room and dialed her familiar number. I wasn't sure if she was up yet, knowing full well that if she wasn't up and she answered because I woke her, she'd be really angry. I was hoping to get her voicemail.
"Hello?" She sounded wide awake.
"Baby? You busy?"
"Hey Emmett! No actually, I'm shopping with Alice today. Are you up already? It's pretty early."
"Yeah, couldn't sleep. But it was a good thing I got up. I got a call from Gonzalez about a job. I'm meeting him at 9:30 this morning. I'm supposed to be meeting the co-star there and go over the job details."
"That's great Em. I hope it's a good one. Just one thing."
"Sure baby, anything."
"Your co-star better not get any closer to you than working status, you hear me?"
I had to smile at that. That's my Rosie.
"Of course not baby. You're the only sex kitten for me."
"Well, okay. Call me when you're done."
I could hear the smile in her voice. "Of course. Bye baby doll."
"Bye Em."
I hung up the phone and grabbed my keys to head out the door.
"I'm out Eddie!"
"Edward!! How many times do I have to tell you?"
I loved pissing him off. He always got his panties ruffled so easily.
I arrived at the office at 9:20. I met Gonzalez there and my co-star's agent, a Mr. Sanders there as well. They were going over some last minute details and I just sat back quietly staring at the wall in front of me.
This was the part I hated the most. The waiting. I never had much patience for it, and now, it seems I wouldn't have to wait much longer because I heard the door squeak open.
Yes. Finally! Now I get to see how ugly this chick is compared to Rosalie. Nobody compares to my Rosalie.
Sanders turned around to face the woman standing at the door and extended his hand.
"Bella! So good of you to come. I'd like you to meet Mr. Gonzalez, you're co-stars agent."
Did he just say Bella? Surely not…
"Hello Mr. Gonzalez, so nice to meet you."
There is only one Bella I know that has a voice like that…
"Nice to meet you too Bella. And might I say, you are very beautiful; I believe this movie will be just perfect!"
Beautiful? Oh no. Please tell me it's not her. Please tell me it's not her…
"Bella Swan, I'd like you to meet Emmett McCarty, you're new co-star."
He moved over and I saw the pair of big, brown doe eyes that I knew so well.
FUCKING SHIT.
This just got interesting.
An hour later found me standing outside of the building with Bella in tow.
"Hey Bella? I think we should talk."
"That sounds like a good thing Emmett. Let's go to the coffee shop just down the street from our apartments."
I followed her in my jeep and we pulled up to the coffee shop she had suggested. We found a booth of to a corner to give us some sense of privacy.
The waitress came and I noticed that when she looked at Bella, she lifted her eyebrow but didn't say anything. We placed our orders and as soon as the waitress was gone, Bella busted out in a fit of giggles.
This was not the type of response I was expecting given our current circumstances. Maybe Bella was one of those that crumbled under pressure.
"Sorry Emmett. I guess I should explain myself before you think I've gone crazy. You see, that waitress has coincidentally been the same person that has waited on me the last three times I've been in here. The first time, I came with Jasper. Then I came with James. And now, I'm here with you. She must've remembered me from all the times I've been here. What a whore she must think I am."
"Oh yeah, I remember Jasper saying he came with you here. He said you guys had a nice time and that he asked you your opinion about Edward."
Her face fell as she scrunched up her eyebrows. Was I missing something?
"Wait a minute. John is Edward?"
John? Who the hell was John?
"I don't know a John, but I do know Jasper said he spoke to you about Edward and his girlfriend Tanya."
Bella looked like she was going to be sick.
"He told me his friend's name was John. How could I have been so stupid? Of course he was talking about Edward. Well, now that that's cleared up, I don't feel so bad anymore."
She just lost me. What the hell was Bella going on about? She was definitely about to go to break-down mode…except, she was smiling now.
"You okay there Bella? Do I need to take you to a mental institution?"
She laughed and said, "No Em. Sorry. I was in my own world, but thank you."
"For what?"
"I'll tell you later, okay? But now, we've got to figure out what we're going to do."
Yes, down to business.
"Alright, well, I don't know how James would feel about it, but I think that Rosalie would be okay about it. But I don't know. You know her better than I do. What do you think?"
Bella scrunched up her forehead as she thought it out. "Well, Rose is Rose. She might go through a jealousy spell, but as long as you reassure her that you prefer her over me, and I know you do, then she'll be fine. She won't be able to live with herself if you give up a job for her. She's not the type of woman that would want you to halt your career for her in anyway. She wouldn't want you to do that to her either."
I nodded as I took in what she said. She was right. Rosalie wouldn't want to slow me down, and she sure as hell wouldn't want me to slow her down. But still, I would feel better if we spoke to the others about this too.
"What about James? How will he feel?"
"James?" She said incredulously. It's like she totally forgot all about him. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. I mean, we're not serious. And your not very close to him am I correct?"
"Yeah, not really. I mean, I know the dude, but if I had to say anything, I'd say that he was closer to Edward than Jasper or I. They just got along better."
I saw her nod her head thoughtfully. Then she whispered, "Yes, this complicates matters."
Bella was really throwing me in for a loop. I wondered if she always had a habit of speaking to herself. Something I needed to ask Rose about.
"What about you Bella? How do you feel about this? I mean, we're really going to be getting to know each other. It was one thing with Alice…I didn't really know her. But you, I know you, and I'm going out with your best friend."
"I honestly don't have a problem with this Emmett. I can be professional about this. Sure, we'll have to do the sex scene and of course, the blow job scene, but it can be done. This is a big opportunity…I don't want to throw it away."
I had thought about that too. I didn't want to throw away the opportunity either. But I didn't know how I felt about seeing all three girls naked. I mean, first Alice, then Rose and now Bella? And hell, they would've all given me blow jobs by the time this was through. I know most guys would give their left nut to be in my place, but not me. I was happy with my Rose.
I sighed and said, "I'm in if you are. Let's meet with the gang at your place, okay? Say in about an hour?"
She smiled and said, "Yeah, sure, sounds good. You get the boys and I'll make sure Alice and Rosalie are there."
"Boys?" I said confused. I was only going to bring Jasper.
"Yes, bring your friend John as well. It would be good to have his opinion…for my sake as well as yours."
I nodded and smiled when she called him John. I mean, really…John? Jasper needed to get an imagination.
We got up from our table as I put a tip down. I helped Bella out and looked back to see the waitress looking at Bella again. I smiled at her as I slid my arm around Bella's waist and pulled her in. She looked up questioningly and I said, "play along."
She laughed as she slid her arm around my waist and we walked out together exactly that way. Let's see what the lady would make of that.
BPOV
I sat in my room, knowing the front door bell would ring any minute. Alice and Rose were busy primping themselves up knowing the guys were coming soon. I didn't tell them we had something to say, I just said the guys were coming and for them not to leave anywhere. It worked just as well.
I paced up and down my room, trying to go through my thoughts. I knew how I felt about Edward. That was a fact. But I had no idea how he felt about me. Now that I knew John was Edward, I no longer felt guilty about what I was doing to Tanya. Not really. That bitch deserved to get her ass dumped. I mean, hitting on his best friend? Come on. I was just glad that Edward had friends that loved him and cared for him enough not to screw him over. I knew they could've easily done so, and they chose not to. They reminded me a lot of Alice and Rose. How perfect.
Seeing as I had no idea how much Edward felt for me, I couldn't very well ruin his life by breaking him up with Tanya. I mean, what if he really and truly loved her? I'd only hurt myself by being his second best…and I had no interest in being anybody's second best. If Edward didn't want me, then I wouldn't have him. Our relationship still needed to be on the down low, but eventually, a decision would need to be made. And it was Edward that needed to make it.
Which led me to another question. What about James? He was such a sweet guy…always tried to be my night in shining armor. And the sex…don't even get me started. I mean, he was so good at what he did. But then again, that shouldn't be surprising. It does put a damper on the fact that he's Edward's friend, but Edward didn't seem to think too much of him anyway. Maybe they weren't that close…
Anyway, my decision was made. I'd keep James by my side. One, for the fuck. And two, to make Edward jealous. I mean, if he's not going to get rid of Tanya, then I could have a fuck buddy on the side too. I know he's still fucking her. There's no way a woman like her would go without being touched…it would raise too much suspicion. So James stays…for now.
I heard the door bell sound and then the sound of Alice and Rosalie's door opening. Well, I thought, its show time.
I walked out and everyone was seated in our living room. Edward gave me a brilliant smile and I quickly returned it then glanced at Emmett. He was bouncing his leg up and down nervously…Rosalie sitting on his side.
I guess I'd have to do the talking.
I cleared my throat.
"Guys? Listen, I had a meeting this morning with my agent about a new movie role and I wanted to share the good news with you all."
Everyone stopped talking and looked at me. Everyone but Emmett who looked at Rosalie.
"Really Bella? That's a coincidence because Emmett had one too this morning." Edward said.
My smile faltered as I stared at him, willing him to understand what I was trying to say.
He did.
"Oh. My. God. It's Emmett isn't it? Your co-starring with Emmett aren't you?" It wasn't Edward, who had his mouth hanging open, but Rosalie who had put two and two together.
"Yes, it is. I had no idea it was him until I got there. And after the meeting, we met up to talk about it."
"And, what did you agree to?" Edward asked cautiously.
"We agreed to do it, as long as Rosalie and James don't have a problem with it."
I turned my attention to Rose, not being able to look at Edward.
She turned to look at Emmett and said, "You know I would never tell you not to do anything. I trust you and I trust Bella. I know you guys will do the best you can to make a great movie. This is a great opportunity and you shouldn't waste it."
Emmett smiled and said, "Rosie, you know I would do anything for you. Just say the words and I would gladly quit."
She shook her head stubbornly. "No, I won't. Besides, I actually feel kind of relieved that it's Bella and not some low life woman that would try to put some moves on you. Bella would never do that to me. So, I know you're safe."
I smiled at Rose then. She really was a great friend.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Alice piped up then. "What does James think Bella? Have you spoken to him?"
"Yes I have. He's actually shooting some scenes today, but he did say that he had no problem with it and that I should just go for it. I'm meeting him tonight and we're going out."
I added that last part in for Edward's benefit. I saw him staring at the floor and not saying much.
"Jasper, what do you think?" I asked.
He smiled and said, "I think Emmett is going to be one lucky bastard. He'd of gotten blow jobs from three of the industries most beautiful women."
I had to laugh at that. "Nice. Very nice Jasper. Are you sure you're not really related to Emmett?"
"God I hope not."
I turned my attention to Edward. "What about you Edward? What do you think?"
He took a deep breath and looked at me. "I think that if it's what you and Emmett want, then it's the right decision. I agree with Rosalie. There's no way you should let anyone hold you back. This is a great opportunity for you to get your name out there. Take it."
And I was met with such conviction in his eyes, I almost started crying. He meant it. He really did. Even though I could see it didn't suit well with him, he was putting me first. I was falling for this man more and more…which was dangerous. Maybe it was good that I had a date with James…I needed some breathing room from Edward.
We all parted ways after that, each one of us needing to do our own thing. I thought about tomorrow and my day starting off with Emmett. This would indeed be one interesting ride…and I was dragging my friends along behind me.
AN: So, what did you think about this twist? And what about Bella's revelation and her train of thought? I look forward to your reviews!!
