A/N: So some drama here.

Chapter 13

BPOV

Two Months Later (Beginning of November)…

Rosalie hasn't said anything to me, so I don't think that any of the other girls realize anything is going on between us yet, but it doesn't matter. When we arrive at work, we head up to my office. She relaxes on my couch while I start going over the numbers for the club and try to make sure everything is still running smoothly. When the time comes, Rosalie leaves me with a kiss and heads to the changing room.

Before we open the doors I hear some sort of yelling coming from the main floor. When I look out my window, I see Rosalie arguing with one of the other girls. I run out of my office and down the stairs when I see Emmett holding the girl away from Rosalie.

"What is going on down here!?" I yell.

"You! You told me that you didn't date your employee's, but yet here you are shacking up with this gold digging whore!" Irina yells. See, Irina's always had a thing for me and I always shot her down. I didn't trust her; I got a feeling that she just wanted me for my money.

"Hey, who are you calling a gold digging whore, bitch! I love her no matter what you or the other girls think." Rosalie says as she tries to lunge for her. I grab her around her waist to hold her back. I can see scratch marks running down her arms and I have to try to keep my cool.

"Shh, babe, calm down. You know I'm yours." I try to soothe her. "Rose, baby, what happened to your arm?" I ask her once she calms down some.

"This bitch thought that it would be a good idea to grab me when she confronted me." Rosalie tells me. I look at Irina to see that she has a smug look. It seems she is proud that she left a mark on my Rosalie.

"Alright Emmett help me take these two up to my office, we need to open." All four of us walk up to my office.

"Okay, Irina, start explaining." I tell her when we into my office.

"Well, I noticed that you two were always coming in together and leaving together. I wanted to know why that was and then how she was able to catch your attention when I couldn't. Then she told me that you two are in a relationship and living together. I guess I lost it." She tries to look upset by all this, but I wasn't buying it.

"Okay, Rosalie, your turn." I look to her.

"What she said is what happened except she didn't ask anything from me. She came up from behind me, grabbed my arm to spin me around, and started yelling in my face." Rosalie says as her and Irina glare at each other.

"So basically, Irina started all this because she was jealous that Rosalie and I are together. Right?" I say looking between them. Rosalie nods her head.

"Okay, you both know my policies right?" they nod their heads. "Okay, so Irina, you know what's going to happen. I understand that arguments happen, but Irina you one, grabbed someone leaving marks and drawing blood and two, you started an argument where I could have had customers. So I have no choice but to let you go. Your contract is done. Get your things and Emmett will escort you out."

"So I get fired and nothing happens to Rosalie?" Irina yells as she stands up looking pissed off.

"You admitted to starting everything. This isn't the first time that this has happened either. I have been really nice with you and forgiven multiple things, but you injured someone this time and I can't let that slide." I tell her sternly.

"Fine." Irina yells as she stomps out. I lean back in my chair and rub my eyes. I hear Emmett leave to follow Irina and Rosalie gets up and push me back in my chair to crawl into my lap. She wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles into my chest.

"You didn't have to fire her." Rosalie says as I scoff.

"Yes I did. She wouldn't get any better and she drew blood on you. She's lucky that I had to handle that professionally. Let me call Alice to come down here. I just want to go pick up Sophie and have us just head home."

"Hello?" I hear Alice's voice on the other end.

"Hey, I know it's my turn to watch the club but I need you to come down here now." I tell her.

"What's going on?"

"I had to fire someone and I want you to do the paperwork."

"Alright I'm on my way." Alice says.

"Bella I need to work tonight. I can't just run home when I want to. I have a car payment to make and other bills, plus I still need to get groceries." Rosalie tries to argue with me once I'm off the phone.

"I told you not to worry about groceries and to use the bank card that I gave you. If you're short then I'll give you the money for your bills. Hell if you don't want to work at all anymore, then don't. I can take care of us." I tell her.

"I told you before that I'm not going to live off you. I'm going to keep working." She tells me and I can see that she's is trying not to yell.

"Alright, alright. It's just a suggestion."

Soon after Alice shows up and I tell her everything. We pull the footage from the hallway where the argument started and from the main floor. Alice did all the paper work, all of which took a few hours to do in all, and told me to go ahead and go home with Rosalie. We took off and picked up Sophie then headed home. Rosalie wasn't talking to me, so I knew that she was still mad at me. I don't know how to make her see that I want to take care of her.

When we get home, we put Sophie to bed and then headed to the bedroom. When we got there, I had had enough of the silent treatment.

"Are you going to talk to me at all tonight?" I ask her feeling frustrated.

"I will when I'm calm enough." She says.

"Are you still mad about what I said at the club? You know that I want to take care of you. Hell even if you wanted to get a different job instead, or go back to school. I don't care what you do; I'm just saying that I have the financial background to help you for all that." I say, slowly raising my voice. I was getting frustrated. I knew she hated stripping and I hated her stripping as well. I didn't want people staring at her almost naked and having people grabbing at her.

"Unless I have your last name, there is no way that I'm living off of you. So yeah maybe in a couple of years, I'll consider it, but not right now. I know that since you refuse to take money from me for rent or anything besides groceries that I don't have to work as much at the club, but I'm not going to just take off whenever you feel like I should leave." She yells back at me.

"Well I know you don't like your job, so I'm just trying to help!"

"Look, we aren't getting anywhere right now. I'm going to go sleep in another room for the night. I'm too pissed off at you right now." She says. "Actually, better yet, you go sleep in one of the guest rooms. You want to take care of me so bad, well I get the best sleep in here."

"You can't kick me out of my room!" I yell.

"Yes I can. Here is your pillow, so go get into one of the other rooms." She says as she starts pushing me out of the room. Once I'm in the hallway, she slams the door in my face and locks it. I didn't want to wake Sophie by banging on the door, so I just sulk to the guest room next door and lay down trying to figure out what exactly happened. This is our real first fight and it was over something stupid. We had never discussed her quitting her job before. I had just always dropped hints that I wanted her to quit.

The next morning, I wake up and see Rosalie sitting in the chair in the corner of the guest room. She's looking down at her hands with a sad expression on her face.

"Hey, what are you doing over there?" I ask her. She looks up at me and it looks like she didn't get much sleep last night.

"I didn't know if you would want me to be in the same bed as you." She says sadly.

"Come here." I open my arms to her as I lean up against the head board. She quickly stands up and runs onto the bed and into my arms. I can feel her tears on my chest as she cries.

"I'm so sorry Bella. I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have yelled at you and kicked you out of the room. Please don't be mad at me, please." She cries.

"Shhh. I'm not mad, just really confused." I tell her.

"I don't know why I was so mad. I think Irina's words just got to me and I started to believe them. I started to convince myself that you thought that I was just after your money and that you keep testing me with all the offers to take care of me." she explained. "Then a couple of hours after I kicked you out of the room, I realized my mistake."

"Oh sweetheart, I have never once believed that you were after my money. I just want you to be happy. If don't want to work, don't work. If you want to work, then work. Just as long as your happy." I tell her.

"I know that now. I love you baby."

"I love you too, sweetheart. Don't ever forget that okay?" I tell her.

"Okay." She tells me then plants a big kiss on my lips.

It's been a week since our fight and everything has started to go back to normal. Alice, Jasper, and I decided to go back to Forks for thanksgiving and are trying to get everything together for our trip home. Rosalie has been becoming more of a nervous wreck the closer the time to leave comes. She is afraid that my parents won't like her no matter the numerous times that I have told her that they already love her.

We are leaving in two days' time and we are at work. This is our last day before we leave. Rosalie hasn't had any more run-ins with the other strippers so that has helped a lot. I think that no one fucks with her for fear they will lose their jobs which is fine with me.

Out of nowhere, Rosalie comes busting into my office with tears running down her face. I jumped out of my chair and ran over to her trying to get her calmed down enough to tell me what was wrong. I hear a commotion outside of my door and Emmett comes busting in hauling a blond haired man with him. I had seen him before; he was an out of town business man that came here when he was in town, Mike is his name I think. He has never caused trouble for us before so I was even more confused.

I ignored them and turned back to Rosalie to comfort her, and all I saw was anger and fear in her eyes.

"Bella! How are you doing?" Mike slurs as Emmett puts him in a chair.

"Mike. I didn't know you were in town."

"Well I see you hired really good talent there with that girl. Although she looks better naked." He states with a laugh. I whip around to look at him and then back to Rosalie, who is looking down.

"How do you know her?" I ask Mike.

"Oh, I use to date her in college. She almost cost me everything but my parents sorted everything out and got it taken care of for me. Rosalie, whatever happened to the kid you were pregnant with?" he asks Rosalie. All I can do is stare at her. So this is the dickhead that got Rosalie pregnant.

Rosalie can't seem to answer him so I squat down in front of her and lift her head so that our eyes connect. I can see that she is afraid to answer him. Lie to him. I try to convey with my eyes.

"I had a miscarriage, not that you care." Rosalie sneers at him, finally finding her confidence.

"Shame, I know I make beautiful kids." He laughs. I hold Rosalie down by the shoulders when I'm standing and turn to Mike.

"Mike, you have always been a loyal customer, but I'm not going to put up with you upsetting my employees and you know this." I tell him.

"Awe come on, you're ruining my fun." He laughs like this is a joke.

"Alright that's it!" I snap. "Emmett, escort him out please. Mike, don't come back here. You know my rules and they are in place for everyone."

"Fine, there are plenty of other clubs. Better yet I'll put you out of business. Everyone I know will hear about this and they won't want to come back here." He yells as Emmett drags him out. Emmett looks so pissed off that I hope he doesn't do anything too bad. I turn back to Rosalie.

"What happened baby?"

"I didn't know he was out there. I guess he recognized me and asked for a private room with me. I went in not knowing who it was, but I thought that it was alright because Emmett didn't say anything to me. When I saw him, I tried to leave but he blocked my exit. He started saying how he always knew I would end up in a job like this. He started bragging about how wonderful his life is, with his wife and newborn son. I can't let him know about Sophie. I know that he will try to take her from me." she starts crying.

"Don't worry baby, he won't get her. I'll make sure of it." I promise her.
