Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, that belongs to the great S.M. I do, however, own the personalities and plot to this story. Yay. Okay here is the super delayed Chapter 3.

Chapter 3

I reluctantly sit up and groan, smacking the alarm clock that wakes me from my pleasant sleep. I usually love waking up, knowing I am going to work to do my favorite thing in the world, but today I am dreading it as much as I dreaded chores when I was younger. I climb out of my bed and get ready for my day, showering and dressing in a purple blouse and a form-fitting black skirt that came to about mid-thigh.

I walk into the kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee, sitting down at the little island and silently sipping on it while going over last night. I smile as my thoughts immediately go to Prince Emmett. He was probably the highlight of my night, always smiling, while also being there to help me throughout the night. He was handsome, his dimpled smile adorning his lovely face. He was also very broad, almost resembling a bear, which is fitting since his hugs are that of something I can only imagine a bear would give. His blue eyes showed nothing but mirth last night and I could see he must be the most fun of the group.

My thoughts move on to Prince Edward. He was just as handsome as Prince Emmett, if not more so, but in a different way. He had an air about him that just screamed royalty and beauty, all at the same time. He seemed nice, just not as silly as Prince Emmett. He always smiled and I can't help but see him and my co-worker and best friend, Bella, being together. They would complement each other. These things don't happen though, so I won't harp on it.

Next, there was Prince Keith. There isn't much I can say about Prince Keith, he was quiet and worried about appearances, of that I was certain. He showed he didn't care much for me and I wasn't too fond of him either, so I couldn't care less.

Prince Carlisle's face flashes in my mind and I feel confusion settle around me. He was gorgeous, no doubt about it, his lovely blond hair and brilliant blue eyes were enough to make any woman, or man, swoon. He seemed to be to the contemplative one of the group and always seemed to have things planned and thought through. He reminded me of my father. The only things I couldn't place were his replies and his small moments of abnormal behavior.

I move forward and think back to Prince Jacob. His dark skin and even darker hair suited him well. He seemed much younger than all the other princes, around 18 maybe. I assumed he had a sense of humor, judging by the things he said, but I couldn't be too sure. I could tell, however, that he was intently focused on his duties, also while trying to prove his worth to the other princes. His age is probably the cause of that, though, and I can completely relate, as I am one of the four ladies in my office that's still in their early twenties. It can be daunting and I can't help but admire his strive to make it. It's definitely a good trait to have and I really hope he makes it.

Finally, my thoughts land on Prince Jasper. He was… the one person I couldn't place. He could go from being an asshole to Mr. Suave in a second and that could get someone in trouble. I personally experienced those talents and my thoughts and emotions were all over the place last night because of that. The fact that I wanted to rip his clothes off most of the night didn't help either. I swear that man could make any girl burst into flame, he was so gorgeous. That alone makes me want to hit him more so than I already do. I remember him perfectly, his lovely dirty blond locks that he left kind of shaggy, long, and curled at the ends. It's not something you would expect from a prince, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to run my fingers through it. His electric green eyes flash in my memory and I basically melt in my seat. They caught mine numerous times during the night, and each time I wanted to run over to him and kiss him. That, however, was forbidden and would never happen. A girl can dream right? And dream I did. I think back to his body and immediately regret it. One time last night, he took off the big top that represented his country and I saw him in just a dress shirt. It was marvelous. He was well built, not overly so, but just enough, a little lanky, but it fit him so well I couldn't see him another way. His back muscles showed when he stretched and I had to look away. Thankfully, or not, depending on how you look at it, he put that shirt back on.

I look over at the clock and notice that if I don't leave now, I'm going to be late. I rush back into my bathroom and apply some makeup. I style my short hair to its everyday pixie cut, all the layers flipped out, and I was ready. I grab my bag and run towards the door, slipping on my black suede pumps, leaving the apartment and trying my hardest to make it to work on time.

I walk into the building and am immediately swarmed by my four group workers and best friends Rosalie Hale, Bella Swan, and Esme Platt.

I've known Rosalie, Rose as she prefers to be called, the longest. She's a tall, blonde goddess. No other way to describe her really. She's twenty-three and doesn't even look it. She has a figure models would kill for, and the beauty any man would desire. She has lovely, almost violet, eyes, the perfect nose and lips, long hair that looked almost styled and brilliant white teeth. Let's not forget she has a nice ass and chest, accompanied with long legs that fit her like a glove. I envy her yet at the same time I don't, if that makes sense. I imagine looks like that would carry quite the burden. The best part about Rose, though, is her undying loyalty. She has always been there for me, ever since I was six, and now protects all of us fiercely. So fiercely in fact, that I swear numerous of our exes that gave us problems are no longer able to prove their manhood. She has a temper and a sort of violent streak, but it's never too serious and is always amusing. She loves to use her 5'8" height against us and when she's in her heels, which is almost always, she reaches 5'11", and loves to intimidate not only us, but bitchy girls and guys that can't seem to take a hint. She is a take-no-shit kind of person, and I can honestly say I'm glad she fills that role in this group because the rest of us sure as hell wouldn't. She is there for all of us and I'd never doubt her as a friend.

I've known Bella about as long as I have Rose. She is twenty-one years old, soon to be twenty-two in a month. I met her when I was nine, and let's just say our friendship surprises a lot of people. She is that quiet and sweet type, or so she wants people to believe, and I am the outgoing, vibrant character of the group. May not have seemed like it last night, but could you blame me? Wait I'm off topic. Let's get back to it. Now, I'm not saying she's the opposite; just that she isn't some sweet and innocent person. She can be quite the rebel and I enjoy it when she lets herself be free. She's the advice giver and listener of the group. Where Rose would act irrationally and "beat a bitch", her words, not mine, Bella sits and listens to the situation then calmly gives a different solution. I usually just blend their two ideas, but that's beside the point. She has brown hair that naturally looks beautiful and matching brown doe eyes that always seem to see right through you. It can be a little weird but she can't control it, obviously. She is nearest my height, around 5'4" and it suits her. She has a lovely hourglass figure and attributes to match. Her lips are full and are a naturally reddish-pink shade that I would love to have. She is beautiful, her name quite fitting.

Last is Esme. Her name is a little quirky, just like her. I've known her the least amount of time, only three years, but she already fits seamlessly into our group, like she's been here all along. She has rich caramel hair that flows in waves down to her shoulders. Her vibrant emerald eyes are almost the same as Prince Jasper's. She is the same age as Rose, but is about to be twenty-four, and 5'6". She has thick, long eyelashes, full lips, and a button nose. She is probably the sweetest of all of us; it's rare for her to be rude to anyone. That being said, when she is angry or protecting one of us, she is one of the scariest things I've ever seen, even more so than Rose. That's saying something. She is like a mother bear protecting her cubs. It's quite fitting as she is the "mother" of the group. She looks out for all of us and would do anything to protect us. It's one of the sweetest things in the world and I'm thankful to have her.

I walk over toward my desk where all three of them are sitting, bouncing with excitement. They know. This is going to be a long day.

"Have you seen the papers yet!? You're all over them!" Esme whisper-yells.

Bella grins at me. "Were they as stunningly gorgeous in person as they are in pictures?"

"I hate you. So much. You fucking met Prince Emmett and I hate you for it. He's the most gorgeous and sexy thing I've ever seen and you DANCED with him. I swear, you are so lucky I love you or I would kill you right about now," Rose says.

"Well hello to all of you as well. My weekend was lovely, thanks for asking." I laugh.

"Spit it out, bitch," Rose demands in mock anger.

"Well let me see if I can answer things for you. No I haven't seen the papers. Yes, they were even more gorgeous in person. And thanks Rose, I hate you too. Is that it?" I ask sarcastically.

"No. Now, as Rose said, spit it out," Bella replies.

"I hate all of you, you know that?" I ask.

I quickly go into telling them everything about yesterday, making it through with only a few interruptions.

"I'm going to kick that Prince Jasper's ass. He has no reason to look down on you," Rose growls out angrily after I finish up.

I smile and quickly hug her. "I love you and I don't doubt you could, however, it'd be a crime, so you'll just have to leave it alone. I appreciate the sentiment though."

She hugs me back and replies in a whisper. "I would do anything for you, you know that. If you meet again and he says things like that, though, I will actually kick his ass."

"I'll join," Bella adds quickly.

"As will I," Esme agrees.

I laugh and grin at them. "I love you guys."

"We love you too. However, I can't help but feel sad for Prince Jasper. I mean how awful it must be to be separated from your parents at a young age. I could never be away from Charlie or Renee for so long, I'd probably die," Bella says sadly. "I mean it's not like he could control that, but that rule shouldn't be in place."

"I wholeheartedly agree. If I were in the King's situation, I'd be continuously trying to get rid of that rule. Imagine how the mothers must feel. However, in a kingdom so strict on rules, I can't be sure the parents really care. I, myself, couldn't stand to be away from Evan! He's not even my kid and I still could never go more than a day without him, let alone 18 years. " Esme adds.

I nod, understanding what she means. Baby Evan is Esme's nephew and she loves him dearly. She sees him at least once every day, if not more. He's so cute and Esme's sister, Diana, brings him in every day for lunch. I can't blame her though, because we all see him so often and love him just as much. He has all wrapped around his little finger and we love it. Whenever we see him, he has the biggest grin on his face, making his brown eyes sparkle. I swear that boy will be a heartbreaker and he isn't even two years old yet.

"That reminds me, are we seeing that little man today? I know he's been sick and I have a little present for him. Is he doing any better?" Rose asks, smiling.

Esme nods her head while matching Rose's smile.

"He is doing much better and will indeed be coming by today. I'm so excited; I've missed him so much. Diana wouldn't let me visit him these past two days and it's been just awful," she rushed out.

"Oh! Yay! Now I need to go out and get him this bear I got him then possibly go pick up a few new outfits! I've been meaning to do that but I've just been so busy and haven't had time," I squeal.

"Whoa there! Calm down, sweetie. I think you can put that off until this weekend," Bella laughs with the other girls.

"You girls are no fun," I pout. "He needs to have style! You guys need to worry about that more!"

"Yeah, yeah, Ms. Fortunate. Calm down and get to work, then you can see if you have time to go spend hundreds of dollars on baby clothes," Rose laughs, turning back to her work.

We all follow suit, laughing, knowing she is probably right. I look back to my work and think back to yesterday. If I really am all over the magazines as the girl said I was, god only knows how today will go. I jump into my work while hoping today will go as normally as possible. I just know I won't be so lucky.

Author's Note:

Well, well, well. Here we are again. I sincerely offer my apologies for the time between these updates. So far into the summer and I've already gone back on my promises. It's kind of sad really, the way this summer has unfolded already. I've let a month go by since I've been out of school. I promise I have good reasons though. I've had to get next year planned out, the classes I plan to take. I've spent some time with my sister who is back from college and has been dearly missed. I also just got back from a week long trip from NC. That was... yeah. The worst part of this summer so far is the fact that I broke my pride and joy, my lovely iPhone. It's been a seriously sad life these past six days. That sounds seriously pathetic but I don't care. I miss my baby. Anyway, since I don't have my distraction for a while, maybe writing and updating will come smoother and more frequently. I make no promises but I can hope. I can say that this chapter was kinda shit. I had so much trouble getting it out and trying to differentiate between tenses is hard for me. Like insanely hard. Hopefully it won't be too painful to read. I did however introduce the girls so that should be fun. They really will start to make an appearance. They make me smile. :) A lot. I hope that I still have a few of you that will continue reading. It means a great deal to me. Next, we bring all of the main Princes into the work place. I can just see how Rose will react. *squeals and flails around wildly* See you soon!
