I braced myself as I drove into the big city. I had been here before, to find an apartment, and to look for furniture, but the sight of the city was always stunning. It was about 9:30 p.m., so the night lights were beautiful. I made my way to the apartment, which was a cute two bedroom, two bath, on the fifth floor. When I pulled into my assigned spot, I grabbed the first of my boxes and went to the elevator.
"Hey, hold the door!" a loud voice boomed. I held out my foot, catching the door before it closed. Suddenly, the owner of the voice stumbled in. he was a dark curly haired man, but he looked like a mountain! "Thanks, moving in?" he asked, looking at my box.
'"Yup. What floor?" I asked, happily.
"Fifth."
"Really? Me too." I said.
"That's cool! Hey, my names Emmet. Do you need some help with your stuff?" Emmett said.
"Yeah, that'd be great! My names Bella by the way, but you can call me B." I replied.
"Well, nice to meet you B. What room are you in? I'm in 510." Emmett asked, me grinning slightly.
"I'm in 513." I stated.
"whoa, that's weird. My brother lives in 512, and my sister lives in 511 with her boyfriend." He stated.
"Oh, that's awesome! Do you think I can meet them before we go get the rest of my stuff?" I asked, as we reached our floor.
"Well, you can meet my sister, she has on open door policy, unless their getting busy, then the door is locked, but my brother is down at the shop." The word shop got my attention.
"Shop? What kind of shop?" I asked, hoping it was what I needed.
"A tattoo shop. My brother is down there a lot, because our last artist, Jessica, the bitch, just left, no word or anything." He told me.
"Dude!" I gasped. "Are you hiring? I am looking for a job!"
"Really?!?!? dude, after we get your stuff in, we are so going to the shop to show Eddie-boy your work. I have no doubt that you'll be good, just by seeing your wrist!" he said, pointing at the crosson my arm. (Link on profile)
"Thanks. My buddy Jake inked me, but I designed it." I said, looking at the door of 511.
" ok, before we go inside," Em, started, whispering. "I want to warn you, my sister is like a force of nature on crack, okay? She's insane, and never bet against Alice."
"Alice, I've got someone I want you to meet!" Em boomed.
"Ok, Rose and I are just in the closet, putting away our new clothes, just wait in the living room!" a musical voice screeched.
"Ok, Rose is my girl, and Jasper, who's probably at the shop with Eddie, is Alice's boyfriend." Emmett explained.
"Who is this Em?" a stunning blonde said, as she walked from the hallway of the similar apartment.
"This is Bella. She just moved into 513. She's a tattooist too. I'm going to get her to replace Jessica."
The blonde laughed "Hey Bella, I'm Rose. And Em, babe, do you really think Edwards going to let anyone in the shop, after Jessica?"
"When he sees her work, hell yeah! Bells, show her your wrist!" he exclaimed.
I held out my wrist, blushing. "it's not that good guys!"
"Are you kidding?? It's beautiful!" said a random voice that came from behind me. "hi, I'm Alice, and we, are going to be great friends!"
"Hey Alice!" I said. Damn, are all these people beautiful? I thought, looking at the five foot nothing pixie like girl that was as equally stunning as rose, just in her own way. And her tats seemed to make her just as unique, just as beautiful. "I hope we can be good friends!" I said as she engulfed me in a hug.
"I just have one serious question for you. Do you like to shop?" she asked seriously.
"Well, it's not my forte⦠but it's alright?" I said, ending it like a question.
"We can work on it." She said to Rose.
"Ok, is Eddie at the shop still? I want him to see some of her work." Em asked.
"Yeah, isn't he always?" Alice stated. "oh, and when you get there, tell Jazzy that if he's not here in 10 minutes, the naked girl in his bead will be kicked out!' she exclaimed, giggling.
"Ok, let's go. That's too much information about my sister. I'll have nightmares for the next 30 years." Emmett mumbled pulling me out the door.
"Ok, my brother, Edward, he's been a bit of a grouch since Jessica left, so just be warned. I hope you can pull whatever has been up his ass out though, because it's tiring. He just needs to get laid" Emmett said.
So we walked to the car, and I mentally prepped myself for the worst.
