Who would have thought that Mr. Xavier would sell his dream home and move to Florida to make someone else happy. I have done legal work for him since I first started out of law school. He was flighty but knew what he wanted and how much it would take to make it so. He was the one client that I kept after coming to Cullen Construction. I met Emmett on campus my freshman year. They were adding a new library and updating the dorms and his family got the bid to make it happen.

I remember that day walking across campus and seeing this huge muscled giant walking around with the dean. The talk was all over campus that the gorgeous Cullen boys were going to be on campus for awhile. Girls were making sure they looked their best just incase they stood a chance to date one of them.

I for one was not one of those girls. I started college later than most freshman. I received a scholarship to cover school but had to work my butt off to pay for everything else that I needed. My whole focus was school and not who I was going to be going to bed with that night.

After a few weeks of seeing the beautiful Cullen boys on campus everyone knew their names and who did what and who drove what. Edward was a pompous ass and schmoozed all the ladies just to throw them away like dead fish. He was the golden boy with the half smile, the gorgeous green eyes and the bed hair to match. Jasper was the brains of it all. He drew the plans, figured out supplies and made sure they stayed on budget. His blond locks and his brain made him be loved by all. Emmett was the brawn behind the other two. He made sure the crew arrived on time and did their job. He also made sure that the sites and equipment were safe not only for his workers but for the life around them. How did I know all this? It was the topic of every girls conversation and I heard it every minute of every hour of the damn day.

I took the same path to my classes every day. My plan was to get to class, get to work and get home to study some more. I may have had to scrimp my pennies to get here but I was going to make sure that my future was different. I put my long blond hair in a pony tail. Put on something from my meager wardrobe and headed out to my next class. Little did I know a detour was going to change my future for the better. I was late and ran head into someone. " I am so sorry I am running late and trying to get to class sooner rather than later."

I looked up and there stood Emmett Cullen. What a wall of bricks! My forehead hurt from hitting his chest. I bent down to pick up my books and he did the same and we knocked heads. I fell on my butt and thought thank goodness I did not put that skirt on!

"Are you ok? Oh my goodness let me get our nurse. I am so sorry I was not paying attention to where I was going." he bent down to help me up and gather my books. I thought to myself remember your plan Rose as the electricity went through his hand to mine.

" I am fine just a bruised ego. Really I don't kneed a nurse and I am going to be even later for class than I am now." I walked away and thought great this is going to hit the rumor mill as I saw the crowd that had formed around us. I did not look back not only did I have a bruised ego but my head and my ass was killing me now.

"Rose!! ROSE EARTH TO ROSE!!" I turned away from the windows in the conference room. Carlisle and the rest of the family were looking at me.

"Sorry I was off in thought. What was the question and when do the papers have to be filed?" I asked trying to think back at that day that my life was changed for the good. I ruffled through my papers hoping I would save myself. I looked at Emmett and he smirked back at me knowing what was going through my thoughts. He read me like a book and treated me like a queen.

"Rose all I asked was how was Mr. Xavier was. I know you had a meeting with him a few days ago. I was wondering what was going on with the one client you have besides us." Carlisle waved his hands waved his hands through the air. I was sure he knew what was going on cause they had grown to be friends even though they were in different social circles.

"Everything is fine. He sold his home and is leaving for Florida in a weeks or so. They are staying with friends as they sold the place really fast. He wants to turn it over as soon as he can. I am trying frantically to get the paper work done so he can surprise the new owners tonight. I am sorry if I left you all in a lurch." I looked at the rest. They maybe my family but I still had a loyalty to the business too.

Jasper piped in, " he sold that beautiful house with the gardens? Who could afford that and I hope they don't destroy all the work they did on it."

Jasper was a man but as an architect he loved the old buildings of Portland. Mr. Xavier's was one of his favorites on Nob Hill. He looked at me waiting for my answer.

" He sold it to girls just out of college. I think one is going into party planning and the other is going to open a catering business I think. I don't know really as to what it all entails. I was just told to get the paper work done, deal with the bank and make sure they were happy."

I knew what Mr. Xavier had done for those girls. He gave them the property for a next to nothing . That was him and one of the characteristics I loved about him. He had all the money in the word but did not care as long as others were happy. From what I saw the other day those girls were delirious.

Of course the golden boy Edward had to pipe in. "They must come from money cause who could afford that property. Someone must be rolling in it. I am sure the business will fail and we will see the property up for sale in a matter of months."

How dare he say something like that! He did not have a clue as to what Xavier did for those two. The surprises he gave the girls were amazing and just the beginning of what they were in for. I looked at Jasper and he rolled his eyes. Emmett got up to hold me back from saying something I would regret later on. He grabbed my hand and scooped up my files and we scooted out the door. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder all knowing I would go back and punch the ass.

"Emmett put me down. I am not a child! Let me go back and get a good whack in." I was seeing red now. He plopped me onto his couch and scooped me up into his lap. I felt so safe in his arms and just his touch calmed me down from my rage.

"Rosie, we all know how he is but he is still my brother and I have to work with him. I will put some salt in his sugar bowl or something to make it up to you. "

Always the joker and Edward got the most of it from him. I looked into his eyes and melted as he sucked in my lower lip. The next thing I knew I was flipped and he was on top of me kissing me with all the passion he could muster. All I could think was I should threaten bodily harm to Edward more often if this is how I was going to be calmed down. After several years of marriage we were still honeymooning. I felt his hand pull my blouse out and his hand cross my stomach.

"Rosalie client on line one for you." damn that intercom and damn the interruption. Emmett frowned and rolled off me. I tucked in my blouse and kissed his nose. I walked over to his desk and answered the phone call.

" Good afternoon Mr. Xavier how can I help you. Yes everything is in order. Papers have all been filed with the bank, business association etc. Dinner yes I can be there. I want to see their faces when you tell them what all you have done. I would not miss our last dinner together. I will see you tonight. " I sighed all knowing that his move was an end and hung up the phone. Dinner at Cassidy's was not formal but it had great food and a wine list to die for. I turned back to Emmett and wished we could finish what he started.

"I take it you have plans for dinner tonight? It was not brought up at the meeting as Carlisle got sidetracked as usual but we are supposed to meet some new clients at Cassidy's tonight. I wish you would be there with that wonderful, sexy, smart brain of yours." He eyes smoldered when he looked at me like that. I melted just like always and thought damn dinner, damn client. I knew that I could not let them all down.

" I have to meet Mr. Xavier and the new owners for dinner. Great minds think alike though we are going to dinner there too. We can ride together and have moment before dinner together." I chewed on my bottom lip thinking just how sexy, thoughtful and did I say sexy?

He sauntered over to me and kissed my forehead, " we can continue those thoughts later my princess but right now we both have work to do." he walked over to his desk and started on paperwork for the new sky rise that was being built.

I shook my head and walked out of his office thinking let him look at my ass for awhile. I heard him groan and knew my work was done. I walked towards my office passing by Edwards. He just made me fume. How could such a pompous ass come from such wonderful parents as Carlisle and Esme Cullen?

I heard the banter on the phone from Edward. I could tell he was talking to what he called his girlfriend Tanya. The girl was such a tramp and had such a history that even Esme was appalled. Most things did not phase her and she wanted her boys to be happy in their lives. When it came to Tanya she just went silent and did not get to know her. She knew that Tanya was not the one for her son but until he realized that he would have to change his ways. No women in their right mind would put up with his attitude and controlling ways. It would take someone very special to see what Edward had inside of his cold heart.

"Eves dropping again Rosalie? You and Emmett need to get a hotel room instead of the office. " he sneered at me while hanging up the phone.

" If you would close your damn office door your so called love life would not be known. As for Emmett and I that is none of your damn business. When Carlisle has a problem with it then we will take our pda elsewhere. I don't answer to you." I walked away in a huff. I calmed myself down and finished the final phone calls and paperwork for the dinner tonight.
