Chapter 8
Emmett's POV
...Your sex is on fire...
I slammed my radio off quickly so as not to wake Bella, I couldn't stop the nsmirk that came to my face at the track that was played. Bella had sent me an I-Pod alarm clock dock station as a Christmas present last year, and I have to admit. It is a fucking ace gift, and yes I do intentionally make sure that was the track to wake me up everyday.
Now, for the record me getting up at seven in the morning on a Saturday is very unheard of. Unless told by Carlisle that there was a very important meeting, which there actually was. It's just between himself and Dad, for now, but I suspect that Edward, Jasper and I are going be called into at some point. Until then though, today was the day we started to plan on how to teach Mike Newton a little lesson on respect. His punk friends too if necessary.
An hour later, freshly showered and dressed, I entered the kitchen to find Dad drinking a cup of black coffee reading the newspaper. The only thing missing from the picture was a box of doughnuts to complete the stereotypical image of cops. I had to muffle a chuckle.
"Morning Dad," I greeted.
He looks over from his paper with surprise in his eyes.
"Early for you on a Saturday isn't it?" He stated, though it sounded more like a question.
I smirked evilly.
"Time to start planning how best to get back Newton." I replied.
Dad just shook his head.
"Good thing you're my son you know that. Dread to think the kind of mischief and hassle you'd give me otherwise," dad added with a shake of his head.
I just laughed in response. Before a very serious thought came to mind and sobered me the hell up.
"You know we can't keep this from her forever right?" I told him.
Dad went very still.
"I know. I just...what if we loose her from this?" He asked me.
It was a reasonable fear.
"She's in more danger being blind to what is going on here." I answered.
Dad let out a heavy sigh before running a hand over his face.
"OK. I'll talk to Carlisle about it while we have our meeting," he replied "Do you know how the girls are going to keep Bella occupied for the day?" dad added me.
I scoffed. That was a stupid question.
"Yeah. It's called torture, aka 'girl time' all I know for sure is that shopping plays a big role." I informed him
The two of us laughed, my sister wasn't your typical girly girl. She loathed shopping with a passion, at least when it's for herself anyway. Dad just smirked a little, he knew as well as I how much Bells was not going to enjoy today.
"While your girlfriend tortures your sister for the day, I trust you will be having the talk with Jasper.," dad told me sternly.
"Sure. As soon as he gets the balls to actually ask her out on a date." I told him with a chuckle.
The paper slipped from Dad's hands.
"He hasn't asked her out yet? What the hell is that boy waiting for?" He demanded.
I shrugged my shoulders and was about to give Dad a theory but was brought to a halt when we heard Bella moving around upstairs. Clearing his throat, Dad picked up the paper, promptly folded it and tossed it onto the table before getting to his feet.
"Bells thinks I'm spending the morning fishing, so I will see you later." Dad informed me before taking his leave.
I shook my head slightly. We had to tell her, but the problem was we couldn't predict how she'd take it.
It was forty minutes later when I was kicked out of my own home by my Rosie and Alice. Which was why I am now in the Cullen garage with Jasper and Edward, planning how to teach Newton some manners. Edward was passing a baseball between his hands while sitting on the hood of his beloved Volvo, I'm sitting in the bed of my Jeep and Jasper was sitting on the side of it.
"How the hell do you teach a dumbass like Newton respect without beating the shit out of his ass?" Edward asked.
Edward raised a good question. Damn it. I know we can't beat him, no matter how much fun it would be. Jasper just huffed in annoyance.
"I don't particularly care if we succeed in teaching the little shit manners, as long as we humiliate him the same way he did Bella." Jasper replied.
That made even more sense.
"Jazz has a point," I agreed.
"OK, so how are we gonna do it? Can't be any of the typical shit we pull, people will start realising it's us." Edward retorted.
Damn. That was five ideas now useless, while waiting for inspiration to strike, I turned my attention to Jasper.
"You gonna ask my baby sister out or wait until some undeserving douche beats you too it before waking the fuck up?" I asked seriously.
Edward stopped passing the ball between his hands to look over to us. Jasper was dead still.
"I don't know what..." Jasper began to deny but was cut off
"Bull shit. Everyone sees the way you two stare at each other, why aren't you two dating already huh?" Edward chimed in.
I swear to you, Jasper growled in response.
"She deserves better, someone who doesn't have my fucked up past," Jasper snapped back in anger.
What? Is he high?
"Jasper, dude, the only thing that Bella will want to do is bring the fucker back to life so she can kill his ass for herself. Your royally fucked up childhood isn't going to make Bella cut and run, all she wants is to be loved and respected the way she deserves," I told him seriously.
Jasper's head was still low and I let out an annoyed sigh.
"Dude. I will beat the shit out of you if you let this fear stop the two of you being together. Understand?" I snapped in frustration.
Jasper raised his head smiling a little sheepishly. Man, since Bella showed up the man has changed.
"Understood." Jasper replied.
Well. At least that's cleared up. Now. Back to our original reason for meeting.
"Good. Now. How do we humiliate that little shit?" I suggested.
"Whoa, wait a minute," Edward said with a sense of urgency as he got to his feet and looking at me as though I was another person. "where the fuck did all that bullshit come from?" He demanded.
"Rosie makes me watch all those rom-com movies, I guess some of it's sunk in. God help me." I replied with a shrug.
Edward didn't know what to say to that, luckily the silence that followed didn't last long.
"For now. I can't think of anything but following him for the day, see what we can get from his day to day activities," Jasper suggested, which I am thankful for. It was a good plan, this way we'd be able to humiliate Newton in the best possible way.
Thirty minutes later, we are sitting outside the Newton's store, they sell all the gear needed for out door activities. So far the little twerp was working, nothing worth using against him. The three of us exchange looks before shrugging.
"Good practise for us I guess," Edward stated with resignation.
At those words the three of us settled down in Jasper's Ford, nobody in town knew he owned this particular car so hopefully it would go unnoticed if someone were to look at it. We watched Newton for two hours before he finished his shift, Tyler Crowley met up with him and now we really had to pay attention to what was happening as this would may well give us some good dirt to embarrass Newton with. We followed them to a café in Port Angeles, where they were joined by Sluts R Us. Tanya, Jessica and Lauren, the silence between those three was strained to say the least.
"Shit, why did I have to leave my listening kit at home?" I scolded myself.
"Rookie." Jasper scoffed
I looked to Jasper, and watched him pull out an interesting mini satellite to listen with, show off. After a few minutes of fine tuning we were able to listen to the conversation between Newton, Crowley and the Sluts R Us gang loud and clear.
"Like, I don't like, understand what the big, like deal is with her," Lauren whined like a child.
Can I just say that using the word 'like' for anything other than it's correct use should be punishable by a slap to the head. Seriously. I think my IQ has dropped ten points listening to Lauren Mallory alone. Don't get me started on the effect it has on my eyes to see her and those four every day.
Crowley scoffed at Lauren's words.
"She's Emmett Swan's sister Lauren. Everybody in town knows that he, the Chief and the Cullens aren't people to fuck with." Crowley replied as though this was the most obvious thing in the world.
Well at least one of them has some brain cells.
"Bella Swan is forbidden fruit to the guys in town. Unless given written permission by Emmett, the Chief, the Cullen brothers and hell maybe even Dr. Cullen; nobody is getting near her and her fine ass. One I wouldn't mind taping," Crowley added, unable to keep his lust under control.
Crowley just went up a few places on the shit list. I saw that Jasper was clutching the steering wheel.
Ooh. Someone's jealous.
"Please. She's probably fucked every man in Arizona desperate enough and has now turned her attention to Seattle," Tanya sneered.
Was she supposed to be the pot or the kettle in that statement? Not that it mattered, either way Bella, Rosalie, Alice and even Esme was so going to beat those implants of Tanya's out of her ass for that comment. Oh, what a fun sight that will be.
"Perfect. Means she has experience and won't mind getting on her knees where the bitch belongs to suck my dick good and proper," Newton said with a chuckle
The. Fuck!
The sounds of a struggle in the front of the car was the only thing that kept me from flying out of this car and beating that little shit Newton to death. Looking round I found that Edward was trying in vain to keep Jasper in the car, and even though it would be the sweetest thing on Earth right now to watch Jasper hand Newton what was coming to him, I knew that Bella would be seriously upset. So with little to no effect, I wrapped an arm around the center of the car and used it to pin Jasper to the driver's seat.
"Get yourself under control, it'll be difficult to date my sister when your ass is behind bars for the murder of five pricks." I snapped angrily.
At the mention of Bella he calmed down but it wasn't by much. Before either of us could listen in some more Edward's phone rang out.
"Hello. What? How?" Edward said, there was a hint of shock and fear in his voice.
I looked to Eddie boy and found unreadable expression on his face, a look he always got when something happened where there were little to no facts. Before he closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"Right. We're on our way." Edward said, the sound of shock still present.
Edward hung up and looked between me and Jasper.
"Bella knows that we're a Mafia family." Edward told us bluntly.
Fuck.
Jasper didn't say anything, but he had gone very pale. Don't get me wrong, I felt the blood drain from my own face pretty quickly at Edward's words. The sound of the engine starting up was a distant sound to me, and so was pretty much everything else as Jasper drove back to the Cullen mansion.
This could be bad.
