Edward's Point of View
"Eduardo how was your weekend?" Demetri greeted me on Monday morning when I arrived at work.
Rolling my eyes the fucking stupid nickname he insisted on calling me and at him playing up his faint Italian accent, I poured myself a coffee before replying. "Not long enough, how was yours?"
"Same old same old" he shrugged, "Pretty quiet, I'm saving myself for this weekend."
I laughed, "In the whole time I've known you you've never had a quiet weekend, boozy lifestyle catching up on you?"
"No way Eddie I'm still in fine form" Demetri patted his chest, "Jane and Felix had this dinner party thing, I had to be on my best behaviour" he rolled his eyes.
Jane is Demetri's older sister and Felix is her husband, they have been throwing these 'dinner parties'for years. According to Demetri they were just a ruse to try and set him up with all of Jane's single friends and acquaintances, one at a time of course. None of Jane's matchmaking attempts had been successful to date but that didn't stop her trying, she was determined. She'd even tried to set me up with her best friend Heidi, which had been a total fucking disaster.
I snorted, "Did you meet the future Mrs Demetri Volturi?"
"Jane wishes, speaking of that is Jasper still going through with this shit show?"
"Looks like it" I nodded, "Maria had got her claws in deep man."
Demetri also disliked Maria which was putting mildly, he hated her and she him. They had clashed from the first moment they met and despite Demetri's best efforts to be civil and smooth things over; Maria was having none of it.
"Who knows, maybe he'll meet the woman of his dreams in Vegas" Demetri raised both eyebrows.
"Yeah, maybe" I echoed.
