Chapter 3
I forgot to say this in the previous chapters, there is nothing I own that is affiliated with Lionsgate, Twilight Saga Franchise. I am only borrowing from SM for fun. I am sure she would approve.

Chapter 3
I have been in a limo before but this felt different. The driver was at the door to let us car you could tell he was a true professional; he offered his hand as we stepped off the curb. He was all "yes mame, no mame". I introduced myself and he was very courteous. His name is Kevin and he told me he will be my driver from now on.
"What driver? For what?" I asked Linda.
"Well Bella I guess because you work for a movie studio they are going to provide a driver.
"What's next security? This is totally not necessary; remind me to talk to Frank about it." I immediately added this question to my list. Linda rolled her eyes at me.
"Kevin, where is Frank?" I asked through the phone/intercom thingy.
"Miss Swan he has his own driver. So I will take you to his house and will take you back to your hotel later."
"Kevin are you required to call me Miss Bella? Because if you won't get into trouble can you just drop the Miss? I really won't be offended." I asked him.
"Yes mame, I may call you Bella. But not until you asked me to." He said.
"Awesome Kevin, because I am not royalty or anything special. I am just a 23 yr old girl from Texas. May I ask you some questions?" Linda was just shaking her head at me.
"Are you married?"
"Yes mame, and we are expecting twins in February."
"Oh that is so sweet. And your married I assume?"
"Yes we have been married for 8 years. She is the chef for the studio; you will meet her."
"That will be great; I enjoy cooking myself. Maybe I can steal some of her secrets." I said as I laughed.
I noticed we entered a gated community. Uh oh I thought; I am going to feel so out of place. "Oh Linda…I am suddenly really nervous. Don't let me make a fool of myself."
"Bella, you will be fine. Just relax; they are very excited to have you." Kevin said.
"Thanks Kevin, I am just a little overwhelmed at this whole thing so far." My voice sounded shaky.
"These are ordinary people Bella, just be you." He was really nice I thought to myself.
"Kevin you don't understand, she is totally gaga over Edward Cullen." Linda said. They both laughed and I am sure I blushed.
"Well Bella let me put your mind at ease. Mr. Cullen is one of the nicest and polite gentlemen you will ever be around. My wife is crazy for him as well. Believe me Bella; don't treat any of the like movie stars. Okay?" He said.
"Thanks Kevin, did you know my brother is Jasper?"
"No way, Jasper is quite the prankster. He and Edward are always trying to out do each other. Jasper is a great guy." Kevin said.
"Are we almost there?"
"Yes actually the house is right around the corner." He said. All of a sudden this huge mansion came into view. Perfectly lit and landscaped.
"Oh my lanta…I don't belong here." We stopped and Kevin came around to open the door. Nope, I 'm not getting out. Kevin stood there waiting. Finally, he walked around the door and leaned down to me.
"Bella, give me your hand. You will be fine, I promise. Let me call my wife and she can walk in with you." My heart is pounding inside of my chest.

"Hi honey, what do we have here? I noticed a very beautiful red head lean down to me? She asked.
"Renee this is our new medic, and she is a little star-struck."
"Oh sweetheart, you will be fine. I understand Jasper is your brother?" I nodded yes, "Well let me take you to him, he is out back by the pool."
"She is a freak over Edward, too." Kevin said.
"Oh is that all? He isn't here yet Bella, but he is a good guy. Not arrogant or snooty at all." She said and held her hand out to me.
I like these people.
"Thank you guys. I am just really nervous." I said.
"Why don't you come to the kitchen with me; and freshen up. Then I will show you where your brother is. Okay?"
"Bella is there anything you need from your luggage before I take it to your hotel?"
"No, I have some things in my purse. Guys am I dressed okay?" I looked down at my eyelet blouse and capris. I thought I looked nice but now I am not so sure.
"Sorry Renee, this is my lawyer and friend, Linda Stewart."
"Nice to meet you, is she always this nervous?" They all looked at me.
"No but when it comes to tall, slender and gorgeous vampires she losses all of her confidence."
"Come on ladies…by honey." Renee said. "Kevin come to the kitchen when you get back and I will have your dinner ready for you." They smiled at each other and looked so sweet. I want that someday.
We walked around a beautiful stoned pathway around to the backdoor to the kitchen. My eyes grew big as plates when I saw this kitchen. "I want this kitchen." I said.
"Yes it is wonderful, everything is top-notch. Come see the stove, if you cook you will want one of these."
"Oh my…a custom built Viking. Yep, I want to live here."
"Well you will have to ask my wife first." We turned and saw Frank walk in the kitchen with a woman I assume to be his wife. Frank said as they walked over to us.
"Hello Bella welcome to our home." She said.
"Bella I want you to meet my wife, Christine."
"Very nice to meet you Christine, your house is wonderful."
After all of the introductions were made Frank led us out through these tall and elegant French doors to the pool area.
"Bella!" I heard just as I am picked up and hugged.
"Hi brother, how are you?"
"Isn't she wonderful Frank?"
"Yes Jasper I think she will be perfect for you bunch of whiners."
"Hey I resemble that remark." He said.
"Jasper why don't you introduce your sister to the others while Linda and I go discuss business stuff."
"Sure that will be awesome." Jasper grabbed my hand and led me away.
"Jasper, I need a drink…I am too nervous..." We walked over to the bar I ordered my favorite, Crown, Cherry Coke with a couple cherries." Awww…after the first drink, I was already feeling better.
"Wow is that Emmett? He is bigger than he looks on the screen."
"Come on let's start with him."
"Hey dude, who is this beautiful woman you have here?" Emmett said.
"Dude this isn't a beautiful woman, this is my sister." I rolled my eyes and turned all shades of red.
"Sorry dude but your sis here is hot." He said.
"Hello I am Emmett Lutz, nice to meet you."
"I'm Bella, jerk-offs sister." I stuck my hand out for him to shake, but instead he chose a huge bear hug.
"Fuck that Bella, we are family. And in my family we all hug. Welcome to our little family. Jazz here has been bragging about you and especially you're cooking. He said you make the best Mexican food ever."
"Jasper, why do you do this?" I slugged my brother in the arm.
"Come on let me introduce you to the rest of the family."
"Rosalie, come meet Jasper's sister."
"Oh our medical person, awesome. Hello I am Rosalie Hale we have heard some great things about you."
"Nice to meet you Rosa…" She stopped me. "Please call me Rose. Did goofus here give you one of his Emmett hugs?" I giggled and nodded my head.
"What do we have here? Or shall I say who do we have here?" I turned to see a beautiful man standing before me.
"Oh your Dr…..uh"
"Well I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. Hi I am Peter."
"Of course, sorry how embarrassing." I said as I introduced myself.
"Now Bella, if you see something that Dr. Chadwick is doing wrong speak up." He said as he looked at me.
"I will." I said as I looked over at my soon to be dead brother.
"Enjoy yourself tonight sweetheart, it's nice to have you here with us. And I hear you are quite the cook." I just smiled at him.
"Jazzy…is she here?" I heard this beautiful happy voice behind me and turned around to arms hugging me.
"Bella…I am so glad you are here. Your brother has missed you so much."
"I am Alice and you will be my new best friend."
"It's great to meet you finally, Alice."
"This place is beyond beautiful." I said as I turned to take it all in. You could hear in the distance kids laughing and playing.
"Who's children?" I asked Alice.
"Oh Peter's little girls, Donna and Debbie. And I believe Frank's nephews are here too. Those two will run you ragged, they have an endless amount of energy."
I walked over to the edge of the pool and walked around it. I want a place like this someday. But first I need a husband. This house requires you to have a family.
I could hear the boys laughing and screaming they were going to get somebody. They sound happy. Jasper and Alice went to refill our drinks. So I was just standing there taking in my surroundings. When all of a sudden I heard running footsteps. The boys were chasing a man in a ball cap.
Oh crap I thought to myself…I am going in the water. I braced myself knowing there was no way in hell I could get out of the way fast enough.
"Edward we are going to get you." The boys were screaming.
I felt a body slam into me, and arms go around me. I looked up and holy shit…those are the most beautiful blue/green eyes. The electricity between us was so warm.
"Are you alright?" He said. Then the boys came at us full run and into the water we went. He tightened his arms around me as we flew into the water.
"I am so sorry." He said as he held me to his body.
"Ya, I'm fine." I said as I brushed my hair out of my face. As soon as I did…oh crap. It's him. His hat was gone and his beautiful hair was within my fingers reach.
"Did you get hurt? Those two try to get me in this pool every time I am here." He said. I tried to put my feet down but the water was over my head.
"Here let me get us to shallow water." He said as he tightened his grip on me.
"Here we go. Is this still too deep?" He asked. We both looked at each other and started laughing. I meet the man of my dreams, and I am drenched, makeup probably running down my face. And I am sure I look like a contestant in a wet t-shirt contest. Oh shit!
He held on to my hand and led us to the stairs. He turned to look at me. Did he just blush? He took off his button down shirt and held up in front of me.
Oh fuck, Bella nipples I am sure are at attention.
"Thank you." I quickly covered myself up with his shirt. HIS FUCKING SHIRT. Would he notice if I sniffed it.
"Your welcome, I'm Edward Cullen and you are?" Duh, of course you're Edward Cullen. I can't talk….calm down Bella.
"Bella! Are you okay?" I turned to see Jasper and Alice walking up to me.
"Edward, what in the hell..." Jasper said as he looked at us both.
"Jazz, it wasn't his fault. As usual wrong place/wrong time Bella strikes again."
"You're Bella?" Mr. Aqua eyes said as he smiled down at me.
"Yes." I said as I blushed.
"Well it is so nice to meet you, Jazz is a very proud brother. He talks about you a lot. Doesn't he Alice?"
I started shaking and getting goosebumps. "Oh Bella, I'm sorry…you're cold. Come on over here to the fire pit." Edward said as he grabbed hold of my hand. Wow, he is nice. I can't believe I have held his hand, had his arms around me holding me to him, and Edward Cullen has seen my nipples.
"So Bella, I hear you are in charge of our health and injuries. I am looking forward to being sick." He said as he smiled that beautiful Edward smile.
"Well I'm your girl for your next virus." I said. "That didn't sound very good, I 'm sorry. I have word-vomit around new people."
"It's okay Bella. Are you warming up? Would you like some coffee or something?" WTF?
"Oh I'm okay…don't go to any trouble." I said.
"Sweetheart, it is no big deal. How about I see if Renee can fix us some hot chocolate, would you like that?" He said as he brushed my bangs out of my eyes.
"I think you probably look beautiful in blue, but you look a little blue around your lips. I would feel better if we could get them back to a beautiful pink color. Okay, so stay here."
"Thank you that would be nice."
"Holy crap Edward Cullen…just touched me again." I said to myself.
"He certainly did." I turned to see Alice grinning cheek to cheek.
"Oh Hi Alice, where is my brother."
"He went inside to check on something." Okay weird that sounded suspicious hopefully he didn't go in there to harass Edward, I mean he's just being nice, right?
