The alarm went off the next morning I got up had a quick shower and got ready for my run. I kissed Edward and told him I loved him and he tried to pull me back into bed but I won out and left heading down stairs to warm up for our run. Bond came out and did a few stretches and we started off both with our iPods on listening. Jason set the pace this morning and I kept up a few of the boys went past tooting the horn and yelling I gave them all the bird and Jason and I couldn't help but laugh at their reactions. We were finally on the home stretch and he kicked it up a notch and I kept up with him. We got home and Edward had made us breakfast and I jumped on him with when we walked in causing Jason and Edward to laugh at me.
"Jason, want to do laps as well this morning?" I asked him.
"Come on then Tink's 50" he said going to get changed.
I ran up stairs and got my bathing suit on. I went out and met him and we both dived in and I kept up with him but the last five he pushed me and I struggled but was able to stay alongside him. When we finished we looked up and the guys were all there looking at us.
"Morning boys" I said to them.
"Didn't you run this morning as well?"
"Yep we sure did, trying to lose some weight Bond said my ass was getting big." I told them as I was getting out laughing.
"Nothing wrong with her ass Bond, it looks fine."
"I wouldn't let Edward hear you talk about his wife like that." Bond said narrowing his eyes.
"They're fine Bond." I said walking away and I went inside.
I walked up stairs to find Edward in the shower. I stripped off and jumped in.
"We're working from home again today and the rest of the week." I said to him.
"Ok love" Edward said kissing me.
"We only have meetings at the Construction Managers on Friday." I said washing my hair. I had my eyes closed and I felt Edwards mouth on me. 30 minutes later we were dressed and going down stairs.
"Jason we're working from home again today." I said to him.
"Ok Tink's" he said looking at me.
"What's up Jason?" I asked.
"Tink's no more swimming until the workers leave, I mean it." Bond said to me.
"WTF" I screeched.
"Well I'm going to the office back in 20minutes." I said.
"No, you're not without me." Jason told me.
"WTF I'm a grown woman." I screamed.
"You heard me." Jason said.
"Yes Bella just wait I'm coming too." Edward said.
"FUCK YOU BOTH!" I screamed.
"BELLA" Edward said.
"Fuck you" I grabbed my keys and stormed out side jumped into my R8 Spyder and took off down the drive. The gates opened and I hit the gas pedal going through the gears. I drove to Port Angeles and pulled up and Emmett and Pauley came out.
"You are in trouble Edward is going off," with that I started my car reversed slammed it into 1st and took off out the gate giving it to it. I was pissed off who did they think they were telling me what I can and can't do. I punched it driving towards Seattle. I checked my phone 37 missed calls, 23 texts and 18 new emails.
I walked back into the Port Angele's office.
"If any one rings I'm not here, you tell them I'm here and I will fire you do hear me." I screeched and went into my office and slammed the door and locked it.
There was a knock on the door.
"I'm busy leave me alone." I said.
"Bella let me in." Emmett said.
"Go away Emmett." I yelled.
I saw Edward and Jason pull up so I opened my window pushed the screen out and jumped. I ran to my car started it and took off.
POV
"FUCK" Edward screamed.
"What have you done Edward I have never seen her so pissed off?" Pauley asked.
"We sort of told her off and told her she wasn't allowed to go to the office without us." Edward told Emmett.
"You of all people should know not to tell Bella she can't do something." Emmett told Edward.
"Man she was so pissed the first time she was here that I near lost it when she took off in her car, that girl can drive." Emmett told Edward.
"Yeah she did a driving and drifting course in LA with Rob." Jason told them.
"What you're telling me she can drive like that friggin movie what was it called The Fast and the Furious?" Emmett asked.
"Ah yeah she can" Jason told them all.
"Well fuck me; is there anything she didn't do while she was in LA?" Emmett asked chuckling.
"Look man we have to find her." Jason said.
"If she doesn't want to be found she won't be." Emmett told them.
"I know she won't even answer her phone to Ang." Edward told them.
"She is really pissed man." Emmett said looking at them.
Edward grabbed his phone and dialed Bella's number "Bella please let me know you are ok and come home," he said.
"Voice mail" Edward said to them and his phone beeped.
"Is that from her?" Emmett asked.
"Ah Yeah" Edward said.
"What did it say?" Pauley asked.
"Fuck you" Edward told them. They both laughed.
"She's pissed" Pauley said.
"No shit Pauley" Edward snapped.
"Edward I know where she is come on," Jason said to him. They ran outside and jumped in the car and took off to Seattle.
BPOV
WTF that looks like my BMW, it is well I just won't notice them. I will go to the mall just up here. I parked my car and went in. I walked into Victoria's Secret and started grabbing stuff off the racks. I walked up to the checkout and purchased my stuff. I walked out and I could see them, I just stood there and rolled my eyes at them and kept walking. Edward came up and grabbed my bags and snaked his arm around my waist.
"Love, I'm sorry." he told me placing a kiss on my head.
"You keep Bond the fuck away from me and you can stay." I harshly whispered to him.
"Ok love, I will." Edward told me.
"I'm looking for a dress to wear to Mitch and Sammy's wedding and we better get you a new suit." I told him.
2 hours later we had everything plus a lot more. Edward was giving me hell about the amount of stuff I brought. I just shrugged my shoulders. We walked out and placed all the bags in the car and he asked if he could drive. I ended up letting him because he pouted and gave me them god damn puppy dog eyes. Jason had tried to talk to me, I just ignored him. Finally we got back home and we took all the stuff upstairs. I walked back down to the kitchen and cooked dinner. We sat and ate dinner; I got up and cleaned up, went had a shower got into my pajamas and went to bed.
I woke the next morning got up put on my new running out fit grabbed my iPod and took off out the front to warm up. Once I had warmed up I started jogging I got to the end of the drive and headed off into La Push this time something different. I noticed Jason behind me catching up and I just stayed at the same pace he was behind me. I just kept jogging letting him set the pace. I never spoke and he never spoke to me either. I wouldn't even look at him. A few of the boys drove past tooting and yelling out to me I just ignored them all and picked up the pace for the run home. I was feeling it today but never gave up just kept running. Finally making it to the house I ran straight in not cooling down with Jason just went straight into my room and in the shower got dressed walked down to the kitchen grabbed a yogurt and took off to the office.
I went straight into my office and returned calls, answered emails and talked to Ben, Ang and James. Edward and Jason arrived never saying anything to me. Edward was handed a stack of reports and things for the Center and he went to his office. I worked for a few hours catching up on all my calls and emails grabbed all my paper work to do at home and took off for the day.
I hopped into my car and headed home. I grabbed all my files and headed to my office. I started to work through them when Edward walked in and came over and kissed me. I saw Jason walk out to the Pool House and I flipped him off. I was in the zone reading everything and signing off on some improvements for the garage. I looked at the wages and bank balances, the businesses had really done well last week's figures were excellent. The end of month reports for all the businesses would be in tomorrow so I will know how we are fairing.
SBS had run a few commercials about Tinks gets Rob and left the banking details for deposits for the hospital and donations with my office number. I had sold 2 more movie scripts and a heap of royalties had been deposited into our account. I called Edward in and showed him the balance. He wanted to invest some so it paid interest and things like that I told him he could handle the finances. We had arranged a meeting at the bank to sort out all of our finances.
We went home and made lunch for everyone and sat to eat with them. They had done a lot of work and it was starting to really take shape. I couldn't wait for the studio and gym to be finished and the garage. Jason's car had arrived and Edward had gone over to give him the keys. They both walked into the office Edward gave me a small smile and left.
"Bella" Jason said softly. I looked up at him and he grabbed a chair and sat beside me.
"Bella I'm sorry for what I said yesterday, I just want you to be safe. I couldn't bear it if something happened to you Bella." he said looking at me.
"I know you are but you have to give me space too Jason." I said to him.
"I know and I truly am sorry." he said to me. I got up off my seat and sat on his lap and gave him a hug and a kiss. I got up and sat back down on my seat.
"Jason we need to have background checks done on all these people." I said to him.
"Ok leave it with me I will make a few calls and see how we are going to do it now, your dad and I soon won't be able to." he said to me.
"Thanks Jason, you have your phone and laptop, please use them." I said looking at him. He just smiled at me.
"Ok Tink's" he said kissing my head and leaving.
Edward came back in and sat down.
"Everything ok now, love?" he asked me.
"Yeah its fine babe, have you finished all your work?" I asked him narrowing my eyes.
"Ah um No" he said chuckling.
"Edward you need to get it done they are waiting on that." I said looking at him.
"Ok I will go and get it and sit in here with you and watch you work too." he said getting up and kissing me head.
Edward and I were both working away, I had 3 days to catch up on things and sign off. We could see the guys from the window working and Tiny would blow me kisses laughing at Edward motioning that he had his eyes on him. I finished all my work from my office and brought up my new book and started writing. I was in the zone and not paying any attention when Jason spoke.
"Bella are you writing about me?" he asked. I just smiled at him and nodded.
"Can I read what you have already done?" he asked I hit print and he looked at me.
"When did you start this?" he asked me.
"The night you stopped me from being shot," I said looking at him.
"Just remember Jason it isn't all true there are some things but others I'm sure Edward would cringe at." I said laughing. Edwards head snapped up at me and he narrowed his eyes. I just laughed at him.
"Gee Tink's you are a really good writer." he said to me.
"Let me read it too." Edward told him. Jason handed him the pages he had read and they both sat there reading as I kept on working away writing.
"It's us. It's all of us" Edward said. I just nodded and looked at them.
"What are you calling it?" Jason asked.
"Bella's Heart" I said to him.
I sat and watched them read it and chuckle and frown.
"It's nearly finished." Jason said.
"It will never finish Jason. I sent the first 10 chapters off the other day and they want me to write a series." I said looking at him.
I started to print out the first part of the other book.
"Maybe you should have read this first." I said looking at them.
"What is it?" Edward asked.
"It is us growing up Edward from the first time we met until the day before we broke up."
"The second is from the day you broke up with me until I caught the plane back." I said looking at him.
"Are you sure you want me to read it?" Edward asked.
"Yeah Bond knows most of it from stalking me but there still is a lot that will fill in blanks for you Edward. Bond may have the pictures but I have the words." I said looking at them.
"Here I will print you one out too Bond maybe you can match the pictures with the words. Please don't show anyone and I mean anyone them. You have my life in your hands. Just remember most of it is accurate but not all. I trust you two not even Rob knows about these." I said looking at them.
"Bella are you writing these as Isabella Cullen not Isabella Masen?" Edward asked.
"Yeah I am" I said to them
"The first one is "Becoming a Swan" the second is "A Swan's Broken Heat" and then "Bella's Heart" I said to them.
"Edward in the second book there is a lot of stuff in there that will hurt and upset you just know I'm not that person any more o.k." I said looking at him.
"Ok Bella, I will try to remember that when I read it." he said looking at me.
"Thanks" I said to them.
"How many more books are you writing?" Jason asked.
"Well they have commissioned 5 for this series but my publisher said they will be happy with whatever I send them. I sold 2 scripts and have 7 others to finish off but once their done I don't want to write any more I want to concentrate on the business and our kids, when we have them" I said looking at them.
"This series that you are reading they want to make into a miniseries. Which are 20 chapters per book." I said looking at them.
"Bella you are kidding me aren't you? They already want it only after reading 10 chapters?" Edward asked.
"Edward I am quite famous for my writing but I'm just Bella to you that's why you don't notice." I said laughing.
"Your right love, I do forget." Edward said looking at me.
"I got the check today for the last 4 books they brought to make into movies and my book got launched today." I said looking at them.
"So I officially have 8 published books." I said laughing at them.
"I grabbed the check and showed them." I looked at their faces.
"Holy fuck, Bella" Jason said.
"Fuck love" Edward said.
"I know" I said laughing.
"1 billion five hundred and eighty-four thousand dollars "Jason said.
"Yeah man" Edward said.
"Edward I want to buy a new car." I said looking at him.
"You can have whatever you want." he said to me.
"VIPER" I said laughing.
"Let me guess a black viper" Jason said laughing.
"Of course" I said in mock horror.
"So what do you think of my pay check boys?" I said laughing and walking out of the office leaving them.
"Edward you didn't take the chicken out for dinner tonight." I yelled.
"Oh sorry babe" he said walking around kissing me.
"I cooked last night one of you two can organize dinner." I said walking away. Jason walked out and he and Edward looked in the cupboards and then they closed them and looked at each other. Next thing I was over Edwards shoulder and he ran out to the garage and I was in the car. Jason drove and Edward was in the back with me groping me. We were all laughing.
"You know boys you can't do this every time you have to cook." I said laughing at them.
"We know" they both said laughing.
Jason grabbed me out of the back and ran into the pub with me over his shoulder through the bar and into the restaurant and sat me down. Edward came in laughing and shaking his head. He came and sat down and looked at Jason and chuckled.
"So miss I got paid today what would you like for dinner?" Jason asked.
"Mushroom ravioli and a glass of red thanks," I said laughing.
"Mister my wife is a business tycoon what would you like?"
"Chicken Alfredo and a beer thanks," Edward said laughing.
"Ok I think I'm gonna have the same as Tink's." Jason said.
"Sue put it on my tab." I yelled to her and she nodded.
"So babe, can we really get the Viper?" I asked Edward.
"Of course you can Bella, shit you earned the money." he said to me. I looked at him and narrowed my eyes at him.
"I know it is our money love. But really you earned it. Plus I get to drive it." he said smirking at me
"Oh Sammy asked if they could use the 3 convertibles as their wedding cars and I told her she could is that ok?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, of course I will ring and get them detailed tomorrow and we can drop them over when there after they're done." I said looking at him.
"What about the Mafia car?" I said smiling at Jason.
"Nah she didn't say that one." Edward said chuckling.
"Hey Jason you have to go with the Pixie and get your work clothes tomorrow." I said laughing.
"Bella please cant I go by myself or with Edward I know what to get please?" he said laughing.
"Ok tomorrow you can go while I'm at the Construction Company office for the meetings." I said to them.
"Deal" Jason said looking at Edward.
"I want designer suits Jason." I said looking at him.
"I know Tink's cool your heels." he said laughing.
Our meals came and we were eating them when I noticed a man staring at me.
"Bond there is a guy over there who is creeping me out he is at your 11 o'clock" I said to him still eating.
"Ok give me your empty glass" Jason told me. I gave it to him and he got up and turned to walk towards the guy. He stopped and was talking to him and then brought him over. I looked at Jason.
"Mrs. Cullen this is Patrick Vampire he would like to speak to you." Jason said. I must have gone stiff because Edward grabbed me.
"Bella, love he isn't going to hurt you. You're safe." Edward said.
"I'm sorry Mr. Vampire but Mrs. Cullen has had an incident with another family member." Jason told him.
"Mrs. Cullen please I'm not here to harm or threaten you in any way. I know what Caius did to your Company and I would just like to tell you that I am sorry for my son's actions." he told me.
I just sat there frozen I couldn't move. Edward got up to shake his hand and led him away from the table. Jason sat there looking at me.
"Bella are you ok?" Jason asked.
"Yeah" I said as a tear fell from my eye.
"Please Jason no more family members." I said looking at him.
"Ok Bella no more." he said to me looking worried.
I pushed my dinner forward not wanting to finish eating it. Edward walked back and took his seat and looked at me.
"Bella I think you need to see Breezy, you are suffering from Post Dramatic Stress Disorder." he said to me.
"I'm not Edward fuck one dad tried to shoot me why not another one. I'm sorry I'm just scared." I said putting my face into my hands and shaking my head.
"I know you are love." he said trying to calm me down.
"Let's go home." Edward said grabbing me and leading me out to the car.
We pulled up at home, I gave them both a kiss and went to my bedroom I ran a bath and put some oil and bubbles in there docked my iPod on and hopped in the tub. I closed my eyes and tried to take the visions away from my thoughts. I heard the door open and knew it was Edward I felt his hands on my shoulders pushing me forward he hopped in behind me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Love, dad called today they need me back at the hospital, so I was thinking until we get everything running properly I would work and then take the time off when we can. What do you say?" he asked me kissing my neck.
"OK babe" I said to him.
"Are you sure?" Edward asked.
"Yeah I'm sure it's not like we can pack up and go at least it gives us something to plan for plus I get to see you in your scrubs." I said to him giggling.
"I'm really sorry how it has ended up Edward I really wanted our honey moon." I said to him.
"I know you did love, but seriously it wouldn't be us if it wasn't all backwards." he said chucking.
"Yeah I guess your right" I said giggling "but I'm still going to miss you" I said pouting.
"I will definitely miss you love." he said kissing my neck.
"Come on babe take your wife to bed and show how much you are going to miss her." I said getting out wrapping a towel around me.
"Yes Mrs. Cullen" Edward said getting out chuckling.
I woke the next morning, showered and got dressed for work. Edward was getting ready as well and Bond was already waiting.
"OK where are we having breakfast?" Jason asked.
"With the La Push boys? I asked them and they nodded.
"What car?" I asked.
"Mafia" Jason said.
"OK let's go and Bond there is only one way to drive this car." I said chuckling. We hopped in the car and Jason let it warm up and then took off slowly down the drive. Once we were out the gate he floored it. I love this car and the need for speed. We pulled up at La Push and the boys were slowly coming in.
I went and got the envelope out of the car and gave it to Edward. Once every one was there I called Mitch over and told him Edward had something to say. Edward started to tell everyone that Mitch was getting married tomorrow and I slowly started backing up into the crowd.
"NOW" I yelled.
Tiny and Em poured garbage bins of spaghetti and tomato soup each on Mitch and Edward they were covered. I started to hide in the crowd of boys they were all laughing and the camera crew was there Emmett and Tiny high fived me on the way past.
"ISABELLA MARIE CULLEN GET YOUR ASS HERE!" Edward yelled.
"NO you're freaking me out spaghetti brains." I said laughing. Mitch and Edward looked at each other and chased me as I flicked my heels off and ran.
"TOUCH ME AND I WILL HAVE TO GET YOU BACK SPAGETTI HEADS." I said laughing and running they ended up getting me and rubbing them self's all over me. All the boys were laughing at us so I walked past and flicked a few with spaghetti.
"I can't believe you did that to me." Edward said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I'm your husband."
"Yeah, so what?" I said looking at him.
"Ok boys what my spaghetti head husband was saying congratulations Mitch for tomorrow and here is a gift from Twilight Incorporated to help you and Sammy start off in life." I said picking up the envelope and giving it to him. He opened it up and looked at me and Edward.
"I can't accept this you two have given us so much already." he said looking at the check.
"You can and you will Mitch use it towards your house." I said to him.
I walked up and gave him a cuddle and we both laughed. Mitch went and shook all the managers' hands and thanked them.
"What did you get Mitch?" one of the guys asked.
"$10,000" he said to them showing them the check.
"Holy shit" the guy said.
"Exactly" Mitch said chuckling.
"Come on boys eat up, Edward there is a change of clothes in my office for you. Chris get Mitch some new work cloths so he can shower please." I said laughing.
Chris was chuckling. I wasn't that bad so I stayed and chatted with the boys and they were all laughing and joking with me about my pranks. Edward came out and kissed me and told me to go shower. I went in got some work clothes like the boys wear and boots and went and showered. I came out side and the boys all were whistling and asking when I was going to come out on site with them. I looked at Edward and jumped in one of the boys cars and we took off to their work site.
The guys in the car were all laughing because Bond and Edward were following us. We pulled up and one of the guys grabbed my hand and led me in to show me what they were doing and had done. It was interesting. His eyes light up as he showed me stuff and Bond and Edward watched on. I was amazed at what they had done and he was saying things got done quicker because they always had what they needed. I was there for an hour or so and then I pouted because Edward and Bond told me I had to leave to go to a meeting. I told the boys I would definitely be back to work again with them soon. We walked out to the car and headed to La Push for the meeting.
"So I don't know who enjoyed that more the boss or the guys?" Edward said laughing.
"Hey I had fun. Did you see his eyes when he was telling me about what they had done?" I asked them.
"Yeah we saw, maybe you should do that one day a week. Go and visit them on site for an hour. They really enjoyed having you there and you did look like you were taking it all in." Jason said.
"I was enjoying myself until Dr Fun Sucker and FBI Special Agent Fuck Up dragged my ass off." I said laughing making them laugh.
"Bella you shouldn't talk like that it doesn't sound right coming from you pretty little mouth." Edward said laughing.
"What but it's alright when this pretty little mouth is sucking on your *cough*?"
"BELLA" Edward said laughing and Jason lost it he couldn't look at me or he would laugh.
"Yes" I said laughing I was on my back rolling around I had the giggles and couldn't stop.
"Come on Edward laugh don't be such a stick in the mud. I'm funny and you know it." I said laughing.
"I know but you still shouldn't cuss like that." he said to me.
"Game on Cullen" I said looking at him. Jason shot him a look.
"What have you done now?" Jason said laughing.
"I don't know she will do something." he said laughing.
We pulled up and I went into the conference room slammed the door and took my seat. The 3 managers jumped and looked at Edward and Jason as they walked in. I winked at the 3 managers and they smirked back at me.
My phone beeped and I got up and turned the TV onto SBS.
"BREAKING NEWS TINK'SGETSROB" I looked at the boys and started laughing.
"Hey guys we just wanted to update you we have news that Tink's just got her husband and Mitch who by the way is getting married tomorrow to the beautiful Sammy Congrats guys. My invitation must have got lost in the post. Mitch is the other guy who stole her breakfast and here is what she did." Adam said laughing.
They showed the boys getting covered and chasing after me. They also showed a skit of Rob's we did the other day. He said "Have you seen how hot my girlfriend is?" and it was a picture of an old grandma's face all wrinkled with a smoke hanging out of her mouth and then he said "Her skin is so smooth and soft" that was it we all lost it we were all laughing. Adam came back on and he said "Tink's if you're watching we can't wait to see what is in store for Rob" he said and then it went back to normal programming. I got the email and forwarded it on to everyone still laughing.
"Tink's OMG I have never laughed so much until I meet you." Chris said laughing.
"Oh man I taught you well Bella." Emmett said.
"Pfft as if" I said laughing.
"OK Bella what is your first prank on Rob?" Edward asked.
"NO I'm not telling. You have to wait like everyone else but this is going to be so much better than the blow up doll." I said laughing.
"A what?" Chris said.
"Chris this isn't the first time we have had a prank war." I said laughing.
"So tell me about the blow up doll." he said laughing.
"I got a male blow up doll sent to his set with a multi colored flashing vibrator stuck up its ass and it was turned on and a sign that said 'We are threw luv Max." I said laughing.
"OMG Bella" Chris laughed and so did everyone else.
"Everyone thought he was gay some still do in Hollywood." I said laughing.
"I need a coffee." I said getting up and Edward made me sit down and popped his head out and asked the staff to make us a coffee.
"Right boys what's been happening this week what did you pick up?" I asked them.
They started telling me about some bids that they had put in for some they got some they lost. They had picked up more than they had lost. They said that the crews were on time some were doing better than the allotted time. They also said about some of the other workers and comments. They asked me to look at purchasing diggers.
"Edward and Bond go to Forks and get my financial reports they should be on my desk we might go and buy it today depending on what they say. Please" I said giving them puppy dog eyes. They got up and Edward kissed my head and they headed out.
"So tell me more about these digger things and how many we need and how much they are. Who we have qualified to drive them do I need to purchase a truck to pull it?" I asked them. They looked at each other and jumped up within 10 minutes they were back showing me.
"Who can drive them do we have any workers who can use this sort of equipment?" I asked them. They all looked at each other.
"Right how the fuck do you expect me to buy you them if you don't have any info, you don't know if any of your workers hold the qualifications or how much it costs to get the qualifications? Guys you know I am a push over but fuck at least have the shit ready to show me. It is obvious that you have all talked about it but not one of you has done any leg work. Well that's where it stops until you can show me this stuff, don't ask." I said looking at them. Then I cracked up laughing "Ok boys go put ya big boy pants on and come back." I said laughing at them.
"Fuck Bella" Emmett said.
"Well come on guys did you think I was going to say here is a check for 2 mill go get it?" I asked they all looked at one another.
"You did? Unfucking believable" I said to them getting up and resting my hands on the table and looking down at them.
"I did not become a billionaire by not having all the facts in front of me. Researching everything is a must. How dare you think I am a push over everything I have given you boys I have had all the figures and facts in front of me. I am more than hurt that you think I am such a big push over and I would hand my money over to you like that. I will be in my office doing your fucking job for the 3 of you." with that I got up and walked off to my office flicked on my computer and waited.
POV
"Fuck man she is pissed." Chris said to Pauley and Emmett.
"No shit" Emmett said.
"She is right." Pauley said to them.
"Yeah I know she is." Chris said.
"She has billions who cares about a few million." Emmett said.
"She has that money because everything she did she researched and had the figures in front of her. Didn't you just listen to her Emmett?" Chris asked him.
"Nah man she was scary." Emmett told them laughing they nodded their heads and laughed with him.
"Hey guys where is Bella?" Edward asked.
"Ah um she is in her office." Chris said.
"What did you do?" Jason asked them.
"We asked for the diggers and had no answers for her when she asked about different things." Chris told Jason and Edward.
"You know she likes facts and figures you idiots. What did you expect her to hand over the cash and not know what she was getting in to?" Jason asked looking at them.
"You did you dickheads." Jason said laughing at them.
"How bad was it?" Edward asked.
"You remember Carrie at the prom." Emmett said laughing and Chris and Pauley nodded and laughed to.
"Let's wait here for a bit till she cools down what do you say Jason?" Edward asked.
"Pussy" Emmett said to Edward.
"Here Emmett you go give these to Bella then" Edward said.
"No fucking way" Emmett told him.
"So who is a pussy?" Edward asked him.
"We all are" they laughed.
"EMMETT" Bella yelled.
"Oh fuck I'm dead" he said all the boys laughed.

"Right Benno has qualifications to drive the mover and the truck" I snapped "he is on his way here now get a lap top in there and ask him all the things I need to know. Get your diary out and start taking notes off Benno you have an hour to come up with the goods Emmett now get out and do your job." I snapped at him.
I text Edward and asked where Jason and him are and went back to work answering my emails. They walked in.
"Hey guys thanks for running to Forks and getting them." I said to them.
"What's wrong?" I asked them.
"Nothing love," Edward said coming around and lifting me off my chair and putting me on his lap. I grabbed the report and had a look at the boutique it did ok. The mechanics did really well. The Timber & Hardware did really well.
"Jason, how do I get a driver's license report on an employee to see what he can legally drive?" I asked.
"Why's that Tinks?" he asked.
"Well this equipment the three morons want needs a driver and truck to pull it and I need a history of his license record for insurance and stuff like that." I said to him.
"What's his name?" Jason asked me.
"Benjamin Wallace" I said to him.
"Ok I will log on, get all his info and then ring a friend to see what I can do." he said.
"Thanks Jason I don't know what I would do without you." I told him. He just smiled and went into a free office.
"You two were hiding weren't you?" I asked Edward.
"Um yeah we were." he told me. I burst into tears.
"Bella honey what's wrong?" he asked.
"I don't like yelling Edward but they just expect me to give them all this money for stuff but don't have any answers for me. It's like I'm a walking check book with no brains." I said crying.
"Oh love, don't cry please." Edward said to me rubbing my back.
I jumped up and ran to the toilet and threw up. Edward was behind me rubbing my back. I grabbed a tooth brush and tooth paste and brushed my teeth.
"Bella are you ok?" Edward asked.
"Yeah that coffee tasted funny before it made my tummy feel funny." I said looking at him. Ok let's go sit back down.
"HOLY SHIT" I said.
"What Bella?" Edward asked.
"Look at the pub figures for last month." I said to him.
"Shit they tripled" he said.
"I know" I said to him laughing.
"The construction companies didn't do too bad even with all the money I spent on the three of them but see this is what money they have to come in by the end of next month for work already completed. Andy the accountant estimates 3 months and the money for the vehicles, computers, phones and tools will be all back. It doesn't really matter because we made so much money on La Push. That is last month's wage bill and this is what next month's will be." I said to him.
Jason came back in with what I asked him for and it showed everything I looked at him and he said "Don't ask".
"Here Jason read these right hand man." I said laughing handing him a copy of the report.
"Holy shit Tink's so all that money you made off La Push didn't even get touched and even with everything you spent you still made $236,000." he said.
"Yep, that was a good month." I said to him.
"Yeah the Pub did well." he said to me.
"Yeah I was just showing Edward the figures we are happy at least we didn't go into the red for last month because did you see what I spent?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I did quite a bit." he said laughing.
"Hey have a look at the Tink's stock Ali has sold." I said laughing.
"She had to get more tees." Edward said laughing.
"Yeah that must be fucking killing her." I said laughing.
"Yeah I bet it is." Edward said laughing.
"She designed some for Tink's Gets Rob tees." I said laughing.
"Did she?" Edward said laughing.
"Yeah her name is on the back of them." I said laughing.
"She had to have it on there." Edward said.
"Yeah we sold a heap to all different retailers." I said laughing.
"That's got to be hurting her." Jason said.
"Yeah my stupid joke t-shirts are out selling her designs." I said laughing and Edward and Jason laughed with me.
"She has sold some of her designs and Paula said a few major stores have shown interest in some of her designs." I said to them.
"Really?" Edward asked. I nodded.
"I told Paula not to tell her unless it happens." I said to Edward.
"Yeah otherwise the Pixie will annoy the crap out of Paula." Edward chuckled.
"Yeah that's what I told her too." I said laughing.
"Yeah I registered Tinks Gets Rob by Mary Alice Swan so no one else could. It's now a friggin registered trade mark." I said laughing and they laughed too.
"Well she will get exposure thanks to you." Jason said laughing.
"Edward what is a hospital bootie?" I asked him.
"There cover your shoes for theater. Why's that love." he said.
"We had 100 Boxes donated and material hair scarf things too." I said laughing.
"Did you pay our tab at the pub Wednesday Edward?" I asked him.
"Yeah" he whistled. I just laughed and shook my head.
"Hey I want to buy a banjo." I said looking at the boys.
"We can go to the music store later." Edward said.
"So I'm allowed to?" I asked.
"Yeah of course Bella." he said to me.
"Hey Bond about your pay, I can't pay you while you're still working for FBI so I have cash for you." I said handing it to him.
"I'm not taking it Bella put that back in your bag." he said to me. I looked at Edward and smirked picked up the phone called Ducati and got them to deliver a bike for him. Edward just chuckled.
"Problem solved." I said looking at him.
"What you ask about a banjo but not a bike?" Jason asked.
"Bite me Bond" I said laughing.
I made a few more calls and organized the stuff I needed and had the Truck and Excavator's logo applied.
"Come on let's see what the dipshits have come up with." I said laughing.
We walked in and sat down. I looked at them and narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms, strumming my fingers on my arm.
"Well" I said to the 3 managers.
They gave me all the information that I needed and requested and a local supplier.
"Right lets go then and have a look shall we. Come on Ben you are coming too." I said to them.
Jason, Edward and I jumped in with Pauley and Chris, Emmett and Ben in the other car and we took off to the supplier. We were chatting in the car and laughing. When we pulled up and the boys saw it I smirked at them and Benno smiled. Little did they know Benno told me everything I needed to know in a matter of 5 minutes. He even signed his new contract before he went to see the boys. The cab of the truck was black but I couldn't get the excavator or bob cat done in black for safety reasons which bummed me.
"You played us." Emmett said.
"No Benno told me everything in a matter of 5 minutes we rang the supplier and had everything done and ready to be picked up. It's amazing what you find out when you ask someone. So Benno what do you think?" I asked him.
"You are nothing but amazing Tink's." he said laughing at the 3 managers.
"Why the bob cat as well?" Emmett asked.
"Because sometimes you can't get in with the excavator." Benno told him.
"So Benno can I go back with you in the truck please?" I said laughing.
"Sure Tinks lets go." Benno told me.
"Emmett pick his car up at the car dealers please?" I said laughing and getting in the truck with Benno.
"Edward, go pay the man please." I said laughing at them.
"So Benno, you only worked for me for a week and already you made management." I said laughing.
"Tink's you are unbelievable," he said laughing.
"Let's drive past your old work site and blow the horn at them. What do you say" I said laughing.
"Anything you say boss." he said laughing.
"We better wait for Bond to follow or he will have a coronary." I said laughing.
"Is it that bad?" Benno asked.
"Yeah a father of one of the men that was apprehended went to pull a gun on me last Saturday night at the pub. If it wasn't for Bond I would be a dead girl right now." I told him.
"Gee Tink's I don't know why someone would want to hurt you." he said looking at me.
"OK they are ready let's get going." he said tooting the horn which made me laugh.
We drove along and Benno was pretty darn good at the gear changes and pulling the beast behind us. We were laughing and joking as we went along we slowed right down and he started blasting the horn to the boys and they came out yelling out to Benno he gave them the thumbs up and kept driving. We got back to the yard and he parked it and we walked over to the others.
"That was so much fun." I said laughing which made them laugh at me.
"Yeah it looked like you were having fun." Edward said laughing.
"Oh shut up imagine the convoy now OMG I so can't wait." I said laughing. They all looked at me and laughed to. Emmett pulled up in Benno's car and gave him the keys.
"Thanks you guys." he said choked up. I wrapped my arm around him and looked up at him.
"Come on Uncle Ben lets go have a beer." I said to him leading him into the conference room.
"Uncle Ben you need to be here for the Managers meeting every Friday at 2pm. The boys text you and tell you where it is held each week. Your credit card and fuel cards will be here Monday morning, your lap top and phone are in the car on the front seat. It has already been set up so you are all set to go." I told him smiling.
"Are you ok man?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, it's just wow 15 years I've worked here at this yard and always been overlooked for any promotion. Tink's comes in and bam I go from contractor to manager in a blink." he told us.
I put my arm on his shoulder, "Uncle Ben I will be honest with you were already up for a promotion in the next round." I said looking at him.
"Pauley where are the names, show Uncle Ben please." I said to him. Pauley grabbed his diary from in front of him and opened it to the back and there Ben's name was at the top with a heap of comments under it. He read it and just looked at us.
"I told you the first day my Company is family and we always look after our family." I said looking at him.
"Congratulation's Uncle Ben "I said clinking my beer bottle on his and then they all followed suit after me congratulating him.
"Uncle Ben, go ring Patsy tell her the news." I said looking at him. He got up kissed me on the head and Jason showed him to my office.
I looked at the boys and smiled I had tears in my eyes.
"You are amazing you know how to talk to them and reassure them and make them feel special." Edward said kissing me.
"Right I'm fucking starving what's for lunch boys?" I said some of them sprayed there drink and choked.
"Bella I told you already don't cuss it sounds horrible coming from you sweet little mouth." Edward said to me.
"And I told you"
"BELLA" Jason yelled. I just laughed.
"What did she tell you Edward?" Emmett asked.
"Nothing you want to hear." Edward told him and the 3 of us laughed.
"I'm seriously starving here feed me or I will get angry again." I said looking at them.
"Oh you know what I feel like a hamburger and fries and a coke to wash it down with." I said looking at Chris.
"Me too" Chris said.
"Bella you don't want to eat that crap." Edward said.
"Hey I run unlike you, who got a lift half way there home on day 1." I said laughing.
"You didn't Edward, you let your wife beat you?" Chris said.
"Yeah oh um well I haven't run for a few years and she took off on us." he said looking for support from Jason.
"Don't look at me old man I can keep up." Jason said making us all laugh.
"So who's ordering?" I asked.
Pauley got up and left the room and came back. "One of the girls are getting our lunch." he told us laughing.
"So I have another surprise for you all. Would you like to see it?" I said to them. They all nodded their heads. I walked over fired the laptop up signed into my account and brought up the pub 3D plans.
"Check these out." I said and sat back down.
"Holy shit has Jazz seen these?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah of course" I said to him.
"He never said anything." Emmett said.
"Um that's because he is my only brother that can keep a secret." I said looking at him.
"So when can you start?" I said looking at them laughing at their faces.
"A night club" Chris said.
"Yep stripper poles and all," I said laughing.
"It's going to be big." Pauley said.
"Pauley the pub is doing 150+ meals a night during the week, double that on Friday and Saturday night, the last month's figures tripled, Jazz had to hire more staff and it was always in the cards to do." I said to them.
"It's going to be amazing." Chris said.
"The night club is called Tink's." Emmett said.
"Yep" I said to him.
"I don't care if we have to hire a crew just to do my expansions and that." I said to them.
"You might have to Tink's we have a lot going on." Chris said.
"Ok how many men?" I asked them.
"35" Chris said looking at me. I got up and rang the agency and asked them to send 35 contractors to me ASAP. I walked back in and sat down in my seat. I looked at them and smiled.
"Pauley get 3 men from your list ring them tell them to be here at 1pm." I asked him.
"Jason ring the car dealer I want 16 vehicles, 3 site vans and 16 trailers and call the tool company and get them to deliver the tools for them here before 1pm."
"Edward I want 3 laptops and phones and the sign writer." I said looking at him.
30 Minutes later
"Excuse me Mrs. Cullen there is a heap of contractors out there asking for you." the office girl said.
"Give them an application form and get them to fill it in and I will call you to start bringing them to my office." I said to her.
"Excuse me boys I have work to do." I said looking at them they all cracked up laughing as I left.
Pauley, Jason, Edward and I interviewed them and did all the hiring we replaced the ones that were promoted and one of the guys had the same qualification as Uncle Ben so we hired him as well to work with Ben. We gave them uniforms and 12 men work cars and arranged the crews and the pickup. They all signed the contract and were told to be here at 7 am Monday and asked them back at 4.30 today for drinks to meet some of their work mates. We all ate our lunch between interviews and it was now 2 o'clock the men would arrive and I had all their contracts and cars done. We walked back in and sat down and I looked at Chris, Pauley and Emmett.
"So now when can it be started?" I asked.
"Monday" Emmett said to me. I smirked at him and everyone else laughed.
"Ok boys there are 4 promotions today Congratulations." I said to them.
"Ok boys start your meeting like I'm not here." I said to them smiling.
"Jason you need to go and get your suits." I whispered to him and he got up and grabbed Edward and they walked out.
I sat there listening to them talk and discuss things and organize. I must have zoned out because Mitch shoved me and laughed. I just flipped him off. He chuckled at me and Tiny smiled, I blew him a kiss and he caught it and he put it in his pocket for later.
"Isabella" Emmett said to me. I looked at him and narrowed my eyes.
"Yes Emmett Charles Swan" I said with a smirk and all the boys laughed.
"I asked did you want to show the boys what's on the lap top?" he asked.
"Yes Brother Bear I do." I said to him. I flicked the switch and the TV came on and I showed them all of Tink's Gets Rob first to piss Emmett off. Everyone laughed and hung on to each other.
"Ok boys check this out." I said to them I pushed a few buttons and the pub came up on the huge plasma and I showed them everything. They all sat there slack jawed looking.
"So guys what do you think of our new pub?" I said to them.
"Holy shit Tink's" Leon said.
"Check out the name of the club boys." I said laughing. They all started to laugh as well.
"Tink's you are amazing?" Tiny said. I looked at my nails and said "Yeah I know but I couldn't have done any of this without you guys." I said looking at them.
"So did you all see Uncle Ben's new toy?" I said looking around at them.
"Yeah we saw it. That's going to save so much time and money Tinks. Uncle Ben can have it done and we won't have to be there to make sure it gets done right." Bluey said.
"I know and I went in the truck with Uncle Ben when we picked it up and it was wow I have never been in a truck before. Tiny imagine the Convoy now." I said chuckling.
"You and your friggin Convoy Tinks." he said laughing and shaking his head.
"So any one got any thing else to say because it is nearly beer o'clock." I asked. They all started chuckling.
"I expect all new Forman at Twilight tonight." I said looking at them.
"What for Tink's?" Leon asked.
"You have to sing a song just like all the other boys did." I said laughing.
"Yeah guys it is a tradition." Tiny said.
"Hey Pauley you have to sing again too." I said laughing.
"No way Tinks I already did mine." Pauley said.
"As a Forman not a Manager" Chris said laughing.
"Hey I might even get a few of my friends from Hollywood to come and sing with us tonight." I said looking at them.
"Rob will be there as well." I said to Tiny laughing.
"Come on guys it is tradition you have to come and sing and I get to meet your wife's and tell them just how good their husbands are." I said laughing at them.
"Ok Tink's I'll be there." Leon said laughing.
"There are rules Tink's picks your song." The boys said laughing.
"Ok who is having dinner there I will book a table for us?" I said to them.
"Mitch you're getting married tomorrow and you are still coming?" I asked him.
"Yes Sammy and I will be there." Mitch told me.
"Ok I will ring Jazz and tell him I have 100 people for meals tonight at 7." I said laughing.
"Ok boys lets go and get our drink on and then tonight we can get our drunk on." I said laughing and they all started laughing and getting up.
"Emmett, Pauley and Chris not so fast sit your ass back down boys." I told them.
"Yeah Tink's" Chris said.
"Please I never want to have to yell at you 3 again come prepared next time ok." I said getting up and hugging each of them.
"Yeah we're sorry too." Chris said to me.
"I know you are." I said to him.
"Quick before Tiny drinks it all on us." I said laughing and walking out.
We walked outside.
"Holy shit" I said to the boys.
"Fucking hell" Emmett said.
"I think we need a bigger meeting place." I said laughing and shaking my head.
"HEY GUYS" I yelled to them as I walked.
"HEY TINK'S" they all yelled.
"SO BOYS WE HAVE OUR FORMAN INDUCTION TONIGHT AT 9 AT TWILIGHT BAR. IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR FORMAN SHAKE HIS ASS AND BELT OUT A TUNE PLEASE COME DOWN AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT." I said laughing.
"Are you going to sing Tink's?" a couple asked.
"Yeah I might belt out a tune or two and we might even get Tiny to sing with me again." I said laughing.
They were all cheering and laughing. We all stayed around chatting and laughing. Edward and Jason turned back up and came over to me.
"Hey boys, how did it go?" I asked them.
"Yeah I got it all." Jason said.
"OK dinner tonight at the pub and another round of Forman Induction at 9pm." I said laughing with them.
"That's becoming a tradition Bella." Edward said.
"I know." I said laughing.
"I called Jazz and gave him the heads up and he was laughing and saying I might as well have the bar open just for my workers." I told Edward and Jason they just laughed.
"Uncle Ben, you and Patsy are coming tonight?" I asked him.
"Yeah Tink's we will be there." he told me.
I smiled at him and walked off to get another beer. I was chatting to a few of the boys and it was time to leave and go home to get ready for tonight.
