CHAPTER THREE

Rosalie's Point Of View

I was listening to my favourite station on the radio while driving to work, simply recapping the events of last night. I got all angry at Jason again, and then I thought of Emmett. Emmett Cullen. This cute guy that taught that Jason a lesson, and helped me enjoy the rest of the night even after what my 'boyfriend' did to me. I was wondering how Jason didn't call me yet, but I was in no mood to talk to him. All I wanted was a hot cup of coffee, and an entirely stress-free day at work.

I turned into my own VIP parking space and turned off the car. I got out after checking myself one last time in the mirror and walked into Hale Foreign Car Dealership.

"Good morning," I said to my administrative assistant, Miriam.

"Good morning, Ms. Hale. A very early gentleman arrived about an hour ago, he's been sitting in the waiting room ever since. He says he wants to speak to you." She informed me.

"Thanks Miriam."

I turned down the corridor and into the waiting room.

"Rose." the figure called me.

"Jason? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him. He had a brace on his nose and his arm was bound up.

"Hey Rose," he said.

"Jason, don't come in here trying to act like nothing happened, ok? I am really upset with you."

"I know, I know. Rose, I'm so sorry I don't know what I was thinking. I stayed up all last night thinking about what I did, and I know it was stupid. I should have never even touched you like that--"

"You'll never get the chance to touch me again, "I angrily retorted.

"Rose, please, I'm so sorry. I wish you would forgive me. I don't know what's wrong with me. Sometimes I get so angry—I-I lash out. But I'm working on it. Please Rose; I'll never ever do that again."

"Jason, I don't trust you, I might never be able to trust you. What you did was so unexpected; I didn't even know how to react. But now I do. I want you to leave me ALONE!"

"Rose, please don't be like that. I know you don't trust me now; I have to win back that trust. And I'm gonna try as hard as I can to do that. But I can't unless you give me the chance to show you."

When he said that, I stopped for a moment. I was battling to with myself to make the right decision. Half of me was shouting for me to give him a chance, but the other half told me to leave him right there.



"Rose…"Jason pushed me on. "Ok, how about I take you for breakfast and coffee right now, and if I can't win you back, we'll never speak again."

"Jason, I have to work, ok? I don't think going out to eat would be very good right now." I replied.

"Ok, ok, fine. Just for coffee then. Espressamente ily's is just a little while away."

"Jason…I-I can't. I don't want to go with you." When I said that, I literally saw his heart break. His face went down when he spoke again.

"Well, ok, Rose. I'm sorry." He whispered as he passed me.

"Jase!" I called after him. "I'll go, but you only have 20 minutes!"

He immediately whirled around and ran to me. He hugged me tightly.

"I'm so sorry, Rose." He said again. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."

"Ok," I said smiling. "But, let me just go upstairs and check the appointments for today. Stay in the waiting room."

I walked to the elevator to get up to my office. I needed to make sure I had no clients for 9, since I'd be out with Jason. As I got up, I flipped through the book. Good, the first one was at 10:30. I had plenty of time. I was just about to leave when the office phone began ringing.

"Hello, Good morning." I answered.

"Ms. Hale," Miriam spoke, "There's another gentleman down here for you. I sent him to the waiting room."

"Ummm, ok." I said, "Did he happen to leave his name?"

"Yes, it's Emmett Cullen."

"Thank you," I said and hung up. What the hell would Emmett be doing here? Wait! Jason and Emmett are both in the waiting room! I ran out of my office and got into the elevator. The second the doors opened, I rushed out and down the corridor.

"What are you doing here?" I heard Jason yell. Just then I walked through the doorway.

"Emmett…" I said slightly annoyed, "Ummm, did you want something?"

"Hi, Rosalie." He answered me.

"Rose, what's he doing here?" Jason shouted.

"Well, I'm not gonna slap her in the face." Emmett angrily replied.

"Hey," Jason began, "If you bring that up again, I swear I'll--"



"What?" Emmett asked him. "You'll what? Because you're the one with all the bandages all over."

"Arrrrggggh!" Jason screamed as he lunged onto Emmett. The both of them landed on the couch, wildly taking punches at each other.

"Guys! STOP IT!" I screamed. At this, the both of them climbed off each other and stood in front of me, hanging their heads in shame.

With all the screaming going on, Miriam appeared at the doorway.

"Is everything alright miss?" she asked me.

"Everything's fine, Miriam. Sorry about that."

She nodded and began to walk off. I hurried after her.

"Miriam, wait, I won't be here for a little while. I'm coming back around ten."

"Ok," she replied simply and went back to her desk.

I walked back into the waiting room.

"Emmett, you should have never come. Unless you want to buy a car, then please don't come again." I told him.

"Rosalie, I do wanna buy a car, a jeep to be specific." He answered me.

"Well, Emmett, there are many other people here who can help you out, so go place an appointment at the front desk, and someone will deal with you today."

"I want your help."

Jeez, it was like dealing with children. Why did guys have to be so difficult?

"I'm sorry Emmett, but I won't be back for a bit." I told him.

"Then I'll wait."

"Well, whatever Emmett. I'll be back by 10 'o clock."

"Great." He smiled at this.

I turned to Jason. "Ok, let's go."

"Wait, you're going with this creep?" Emmett boomed. "Hell no!"

"Look, mind your own business dude." Jason told him.

The both of them sized each other up. They looked as though they were gonna fight again.



"Ok," I said, "Enough of this. Emmett, I'll be back. Jason, let's go." And with that we walked out of the building.
