Outtakes part 2
Emmett's POV cont...
We were all sitting in the living room when Alice got home, she was supposed to be with Rose, but I shouldn't have been surprised that she wasn't there, my woman liked at make a dramatic entrance. Instead of Rose, Alice had someone else with her. Sexy brunette, nice curves too.
"Rose is going to be a bit late, she needed to talk to Jess and Lauren about something so I got a ride with Angela, she needs to talk to Bella." Alice announced as she walked in and wrapped herself around Jaz. Angela huh? Very much the sexy librarian type, a man could live out a few fantasies with a girl like that. But then I had Rose, sexy, hot ex cheerleader, what more could a guy ask for right? though with Rose it was always on her terms, what she wanted, and all her sexiness was just skin deep, little emotion, meh, still mega hot though, I was lucky she wanted me, even if she did spend her time trying to change everything about me, well she'd tried.
"Well you were right about one thing." Angela said sitting down beside Bella. "I would have gotten a lot more work out of you if you'd stayed in Seattle." she said smiling. "Edward." she said nodding at him, "Though I guess I can't blame you." she added, probably noticing just how close those two were.
"Angela." Eddie said smiling back, "Sorry if I have been distracting Bella from her work."
"I just wanted to ask you about coming with me for an interview tomorrow, its an early start but we should be back for the rehearsal dinner on Friday." she said.
"Tomorrow?" Bella asked alarmed and looked straight at Eddie, "Where is it?"
"Montana." she said looking away. "I swear Bella it will just be there and straight back, but I have been after this interview for months, I can't turn it down, and I need you with me." the room was silent, Eddie looked as though someone was about to remove his right arm or something, Bella had the same tortured expression, I had to do something, I couldn't standby and watched them get pulled apart so soon.
"So Angela is it?" I asked interrupting the silence in the room, and walked over to her.
"Angela Jolene Webber." Angela said sweetly shaking my hand, the name sounded vaguely familiar but I didn't know her.
"Emmett Benjamin McCarty." I replied."Its a pleasure to meet you, so what is it you do?" I asked her.
Eddie turned slowly to look at Bella. "I don't want you to go, I'm not ready to let you go, Bella." he whispered, but I was close enough to hear.
"It's my job Edward, what choice do I have?" Bella said but she sounded like she was trying to stop herself from crying. Then it hit me, why that name sounded so familiar.
"Wait, A J Webber, the sports journalist, no freaking way, I thought you were a dude." I almost shouted. She grinned at me and nodded.
"I only have you for a few days Bella, please... don't." Eddie said his voice cracking.
"So, why do you need Bella to be with you?" I asked Angela, in awe, she was one of my favourite sports journalists.
"She's my PA, plus she's also my photographer." Angela said, fuck me, total score.
"So nothing that a half decent photographer couldn't do in her place?" I asked.
"What do you have in mind?" she asked, all smiles and sexy as hell, I'm not single, I'm not single I repeated the mantra in my head.
"I'm a freelance photographer," I said and watched her face light up, funny Rose always thought it was a pointless career. "I'd be happy to accompany you in Bella's place." I offered, I'd been wanting to work with her for ages.
"You know what Mr McCarty, that is the best offer I'm ever likely to get, and I'd much rather have a well muscled, attractive and sexy guy chasing around after me than my extremely uncooperative, and sulking PA." she said sticking her tongue out at Bella. Damn feisty, sexy, and she thinks I'm sexy, I gave her my best full dimples smile, and watched her eyes go all glazed over double score.
The atmosphere became decidedly clearer after that and after making arrangements with Angela to pick me up in the morning she left, and Bella filled me in on how Angela likes to operate. I was just relieved to see everyone relax again.
I told Esme not to wait for Rose, she was probably being late on purpose. Sometimes I really wonder what I see in that woman. She's only ever sweet and caring when we're alone, only when there's no one else around to impress.
We were all sitting around enjoying Eddie birthday celebrations, chatting happily but then the door opened with Rose making her arrival know. I looked up and saw the horror on Bella's face, no clue as to what that was about. Rose was a weird one when it came to the women in Eddies life so maybe he had warned her about that.
"Sorry I'm late, Jessica needed my opinion on something, and as we all know, mine is the opinion that matters." she said modest as ever sitting down beside me. "So are you going to introduce me to your 'little' friend, Edward?" she asked. Well hi babe to you too, she totally ignores me, all her focus on Eddie.
"Sure, Rose this exquisite creature is my girlfriend Isabella." he said, his arm snaking around Bella and pulling her tight against his side, then he kissed the top of her head, quite obviously he was head over for this girl.
"Girlfriend?" Rose almost growled, glaring at Bella, then turning her attention on Alice, who was ignoring Rose completely.
"For fuck sake Rose give him a break, you have nothing to worry about with this one." I whispered to her, but she totally ignored me.
"Bella, that is Emmett's girlfriend Rose." Eddie said somewhat nonchalant, like he didn't give a fuck what she thought, it was good to see him so confident, I was even more sure than ever that Bella was the right woman for him, she gave him the confidence he'd always lacked.
He stood up suddenly and pulled Bella up out of her seat.
"Please excuse us for a moment." he said. Before he led Bella out of the room. Not a clue what that was about,
"Just give him a break Rose, Bella is great for him, I've never seen him so happy." I said to her.
"You're wrong." she growled at me, I looked at Esme, she was as shocked at Rose's response as I was.
"What is your problem? just leave them alone, he doesn't need you interfering." I said to her.
"She's snaked her way in here, and now she's manipulating him." Rose hissed.
"Snaked her way in? How do you work that out? She dived into the river to rescue Nessie, gave her CPR, and since then she has been nothing but good for this family, she didn't even know who we were before that." so you're the one who's wrong." I told her.
"Well put Emm, I couldn't have put it better myself." Alice said and fist bumped me across the table.
"Stay the fuck out of this Alice."
"Rose!" Esme scolded.
"You are all blind to what's going on here." Rose complained.
"Oh and you can see clearly? You haven't even been here, we have, and if you must know Bella Rocks." I said, what was wrong with her?
"You mark my words, she'll be out of here before the days out." Rose said."
"You say so much as one word to her Rose, and I swear to god it will be your..." Alice stood up for her friend in an instant, but Rose cut her off.
"I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect this family from people like her." Rose spat back at her.
"What? Honest, thoughtful and loving people, yeah of course, Edward and Nessie don't need someone like that." Alice said rolling her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Bella's a guest in my house Rose, not unlike yourself, you'd do well to remember that." Esme said, her voice restrained, Esme never loses her cool calm but she looked like she was close to it right now.
"Who's gonna protect us from you Rose?" Jaz muttered, making Alice snort.
Eddie and Bella returned then, they had most definitely been making out, both of them flushed with swollen hips, Rose looked livid, what the fuck was her problem? But honestly those two in the middle of dinner really? He couldn't hold it in for another half an hour or so?, shit had they done more than just make out? Fuck no, he couldn't have not that quick, no... must have been just making out.
After dinner I found Eddie on his way out of Nessie's room after he'd read to her, Bella was working on her laptop, staying with Ness till she fell to sleep.
"Can I have a word with you?" Eddie asked, his voice and features full of worry.
"Sure, sup?" I asked as we walked into his room and sat on his bed.
"You know I told in the beginning that Rose and I had history?" he said, I nodded, everyone had history with Rose, I knew that. "well until now I thought, she was just over protective of me, but.."
"But what dude? spit it out, its not like I think she's an angel, I know she's been around and shit." I pointed out to him.
"I don't want to cause trouble between the two of you Emm but Rose has always pushed other woman away from me, and I'm worried she might say something to hurt or upset Bella, I just wont you to know that I'm not going to stand by and let that happen."
"Sure, I get that, she was pretty over the top crazy at dinner." I said, watching his anxious face. "You're really bothered by this aren't you?"
"I'm pretty sure now that Rose had a hand in me and Tanya splitting up, which okay I can see was a good thing now. But Emm, Bella means everything to me, I wont let Rose come between us." he said.
"You really think she'd go that far? This has fuck all to do with her..." I broke off when I heard Rose's voice in the hallway.
"Whatever your game is, you can't have him you know..." Rose said.
"I have no game, Rose." Bella's soft voice was barely audible.
"Sure you do, everyone wants him... but I will not let you take him." Rose said, her voice calm and controlled, fuck? Eddie was right, this is well over the top.
"What goes on between Edward and I, is nothing to do with you." Bella pointed out to her, her voice becoming clearer when she reached the doorway of Eddies room. We both got up and moved for the door
Rose grabbed Bella's shoulder. "Oh whatever Edward does concerns me, I own him." she said pushing Bella against the wall. "I haven't stayed this close all this time just to have some two bit PA come in and take him from me." she growled, fuck me, the bitch has lost the plot.
"You might want to inform Emmett and Edward of your plans, I think they would both have something to say about it." Bella said, and Rose swung her arm back ready to hit out, but then she stopped dead, finally noticing Eddie and I in the doorway, her expression was one of defiance.
Eddie grabbed Bella, pulling her away from Rose. "You have some nerve, you never gave a shit about me, you just don't want me to be with anyone else, this is all because I was the first and only person to say no to you, and you can't stand that. Well I can't speak for Emmett right now, but I want you out, and I never want to see you again." Eddie said, but fuck I think he spoke for me too, fuck was I putting up with this shit, he pulled Bella back into his room and closed the door, leaving me to deal with the bitch.
"How long?" I asked, my voice surprisingly calm.
"How long what?" she asked, her fake innocents making me sick, and I used to love that about her.
"How long have you been using me to get to Eddie?" I asked, trying to contain my suddenly growing anger.
"Always." she said shrugging.
"Go pack your shit and get the fuck out of my life." I told her, I couldn't believe any of this shit, though deep down I'd always put her heartlessness down to the lack of love she'd had growing up, but now I could see this manipulating bitch for what she really was.
"I'm not leaving this house, I live here." she answered back.
"Not any more." I growled.
"I don't answer to you Emmett, I live here and have as much right to be here as you do." she came back at me, well fuck this.
"I said, pack your shit and get the fuck out of my life." I roared, and watched her face crumble.
"You can't kick me out." she sobbed but I'd seen those crocodile tears before.
"Want to watch me?" I asked calmly. She sobbed and ran into my room slamming the door behind her, but I followed her in, I wanted to see what the bitch was taking, I had no trust left in her. I slammed the door behind me and stood leaning against it with my arms folded as I watched her start to cry again, yeah that's right babe, I know how fast you can turn those waterworks on and off.
"I don't think so." I said when she reached for the keys to the M3.
"What? Its my car." she insisted.
"No, your car is the rabbit parked out back where you left it when I came home in the M3." I pointed out.
"You have got to be shitting me." she said with a bemused look on her face.
"You're lucky I'm letting you take the clothes I bought you, now get the fuck out." I said grabbing her arm and leading her to the front door, I shoved her through it. "And don't fucking come back." I said slamming the door in her face. Bitch screwed with me for the last time, I wasn't going to waste my time brooding over her, not when I had the perfect distraction coming to pick me up in the morning. I was a young good looking guy, I didn't need someone like that fucking using me. I had the chance to move on away from someone who'd spent the last few years holding me back, well no more.
