"Well, hello there Cullen," a voice said from a distance behind Jack.

This man, who I assumed was Jacob, was incredibly good looking. He had dark, russet skin, long black hair, and an amazing body. He seemed to be exceptionally fit and athletic. Once he saw me staring (more like gawking), he gave me a smile that could break hearts. I immediately blushed and looked away.

He strode towards me and said in a husky voice, "Hello beautiful, I'm Jacob Black."

Chapter Nine: Ah Crap.

Edward's POV

I'm going to kill him, going to fucking kill him, I thought to myself as I watched Black and Bella talk. He did the classic kiss on the hand and the 'hello beautiful'.

I scoffed inwardly. The thing I was surprised about was that Bella was completely soaking it up! She blushed with that beautiful red colour, laughed at the appropriate times, and had even touched him!

Although it did look like she was genuinely shy about his affections towards her, it was still pissing me off. I mean who does this guy think he is? He was being all high and mighty waltzing in here acting like he owns the place.

"Alright, enough of that!" I shoved into the space between the two and pushed Jacob's hand off of Bella's.

"So looks like we'll be working together, huh?" I sneered.

"Edward, be nice," Bella whispered to me.

I shot her a look that was harsher than intended; I tried to soften it, but she missed it as she turned away immediately.

"I see you guys are now acquainted," Jack stated.

Jack's hands grabbed both mine and Jacob's shoulder, pushing us in the direction of the hotel, then kindly held out an arm for Bella to grab hold of.

"As long as she's not holding that mutt's hand, I'm happy," I murmured to myself.

"Oh Eddie—" Tanya began.

"Not now!" My annoyance was building.

"Touchy aren't we, Cullen?" Jacob had a satisfied smile and quietly remarked, "It seemed like I touched a nerve back there with Bella...What—did you guys know each other before? Let me guess, she turned you down like the leech you are!"

He laughed heartily.

"Shut the hell up!" I stomped ahead, determined to go to my room, but then was dejected after realizing I didn't know where it was.

"Fuck my life," I whined.

"Yeah, I'd hate my life too if I was you. That back there was embarrassing." Jacob laughed.

Upon entering the building I immediately sat on one of the sofas near the receptionist desk. With a migraine slowly growing, I closed my eyes tightly and pinched my nose—a habit that I had developed since childhood. It wasn't long before I felt a staring presence. I opened my eyes to see Bella worriedly looking at me, but Jack immediately pulled her away to the receptionist desk, not at all realizing her hesitance.

"Hello!" Jack joyously said to the young woman at the desk. "I have 3 rooms booked for today, but had another 2 booked for next Saturday...Is it possible to open those up as well?"

The lady softly answered, "One moment please," before rapidly typing into the computer in front of her. "Why yes, you are a very lucky man, Mr. Chevalier. There was a group that had booked those two rooms for this week but had to cancel last minute."

She typed more into the computer before reaching into the drawer in front of her pulling out 5 small envelopes, which assumingly held the cards. At this moment, that key to the room was my lifeline. I immediately got up because the sooner I did, the sooner I would be able to go to my room and have that nap I desperately needed.

"So your rooms are 1501, 1502, 1503, 1508, and 1509," she stated as she wrote the numbers down onto the envelopes. She handed it to Jack, who in turn took one and passed the remainder to Bella, Jacob, Tanya and I.

"I've sent the bellhops to your room numbers and they will arrive with your things shortly. I hope you enjoy your stay." She smiled genuinely at us all.

After Chevalier had our rooms in order, Jasper stepped up to the desk to book himself a room as well.

"Hey, man, do you mind if I go up? I really need to just sleep," I asked, not wanting to ditch him without a word.

"Yeah, I'll call you later if Jack decides y'all are doing anything."

While I was talking to Jasper, everyone had already left to go up to their rooms. As I rounded the corner, I spotted Bella sitting in a chair by the elevators. She looked up when she heard my footsteps.

"Hey..."

"Hey, I just thought I'd wait for you. Is something wrong? You were annoyed back there," she stated.

"Was I that obvious?"

I thought I had masked my annoyance by acting as though I was only experiencing a headache. Good thing Bella and the rest of them were too far back to hear my earlier outburst with Jacob.

"Er, well, yes you did hide it well. But, you, um, pinched your nose. I remembered you only did that when you were annoyed," she admitted sheepishly.

"Yeah, it's a habit I should really get rid of; it's making me an open book. Soon enough, people will know when I'm annoyed when I'm trying to hide it."

I paused, realizing we haven't pushed the elevator button yet.

"Either that or people might recommend a doctor to you or give you Advil for those 'headaches' you seem to be having."

She laughed then winked at me.

This girl is hilarious. Now that I think about it, she always was. Man, I screwed up. The sound of the elevator door stopped me from reliving the day Bella and I stopped being friends.

The ride up to the 15th floor was painless enough, though my headache was increasing tenfold.

"So what room are you in?" Bella asked as we approached the sign directing which way each room was.

I glanced at the envelope in my hand, "1503. What about you?"

"1502."

The sign said '1501 - 1507 to the left and 1508 - 1514 to the right'.

"So, do you know who's in 1501," I questioned.

She pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Well, this is me," I laughed awkwardly as we approached my room, "I'll see you either tonight or tomorrow?"

"If Jack has plans then tonight, but if not, I'm probably going to just stay in until tomorrow. I have to call my parents and Alice and let them know we're here. And knowing Alice, she'll probably mention my little incident," she groaned quietly.

"Okay then, I'll see you tonight or tomorrow."

"Wait!" She called.

I paused mid-step to look back at her.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked sympathetically.

"Yeah I'll be fine. A nap is all I need." I smiled at her. "Thanks, I'll see you later," I parted stepping into my room and closing the door behind me.

The suite was fairly big. Unfortunately, I've been living in and out of hotels long enough that the initial shock and awe that most people experienced was gone. This suite was similar to a one-bedroom apartment. It had a small kitchen adjoining the living room; in the living room there was a sofa and a huge TV. The bathroom was down the hallway to the right and at the end was the bedroom.

Since my things had already arrived, I didn't have to wait any longer for my nap. I walked straight to the bedroom and collapsed on the bed, falling asleep immediately.

Jasper POV

"Seriously?" I exclaimed

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. It looked like the rooms Mr. Chevalier took were the last available rooms," the receptionist replied.

"Isn't there anything you can do, darlin'—anything at all? I have to be near Mr. Cullen, I'm his agent." I tried to explain.

"No, I'm sorry, sir; there's absolutely nothing I can do."

"Please," I looked at her nametag, "Sophie?"

Okay I admit that I'm trying to use my charm to get my ways, but hey I'm desperate here!

"Er, um, no. I'm terribly sorry, sir, for the inconvenience."

"It's alright, thank you anyways," I sighed, "Oh, would you be able to tell me the room numbers of Edward and the others?"

"I'm not sure who is in which room, but they are on the 15th floor rooms: 1501, 1502, 1503, 1508, and 1509."

"Thanks darlin'," I drawled with a wink.

The bellhop was already waiting with my things at the elevator lobby for me.

"Thank you kind sir for grabbing my things, I'll take them from here since I have no idea where I'm going myself."

I grabbed my luggage and bags, slipping him a tip and entered the elevator.

"15th floor it is then," I murmured.

I pulled out my phone to try to call Edward.

You have reached the voicemail box of Edward Cullen. Please leave a message after the tone.

Beeepppp.

"Yo man, I can't get a room. Girl said that they're all booked. Which room are you in? I'm going to crash there until I can get a room, okay? Hurry up and call me back."

The elevator doors had opened and I found myself in a predicament. Go right or go left? Naturally, I decided to go left due to being left-handed.

"So the lady said 1501, 1502, 1503—" I groaned as I reached all 3 rooms. Now which one? I decided to start from 1503 to 1501 so I could knock on each door until I found someone or something that could help. Clearly, I'm not a patient person.

"Hello?" I yelled whilst knocking.

"Edward, you in there?—someone? It's Jasper."

After a couple minutes of knocking and waiting for someone to come I decide to try the next room. Approaching 1502, I sighed heavily, repeating my earlier actions.

"Hello?"

After a few moments the door began to open.

"Oh, hey, Jasper."

"Hey, Bella. Uh, you wouldn't happen to know where Edward is, would you?" I asked.

"He's in his room," she stated.

"Which is..."

"Oh! Sorry! Room 1503," she laughed at herself.

"Ugh, that guy isn't answering his phone or his door," I groaned, leaning my head against the wall.

"He did say that he was going to take a nap—"

"Which means he won't be answering his door for a while."

Seriously, when Edward sleeps or even takes a nap, he is completely dead to the world. Now what am I going to do?

"You can stay here and wait for him if you want..?" Bella trailed off with a questioned offer.

I was about to accept it when I spotted a maid just down the hall.

"Thanks Bell, but I think I figured out a way to get in his room. Besides, I have to wake him up and you need to get ready. Jack texted me to let you know we're all going out for dinner in an hour."

"Okay, thanks for letting me know. So what's your plan?" she asked excitedly.

"See that maid over there?" I pointed. "She is simply going to open his door for me. Watch."

I began walking towards the maid and yelled out, "Excuse me!" She looked up and spotted me coming. "Hello, I seemed to have lost my key and can't get into my room. Is it possible for you to open it for me?" I gave her my best smile, the one that always made the girls swoon.

It was a couple seconds of me staring at her before she replied, "Je suis désolé, je ne sais pas l'anglais," while shaking her head.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that she didn't speak much or any English. The only way I could figure out how to speak to her was by actions, a charades of sorts. "Me." I pointed to myself, "locked," turning to the closest door and turning the knob, "out," shrugging my shoulders. I pointed to her—"you open," I said whilst pretending to slide a card through the lock.

I wasn't prepared for what she did next.

"Excusez moi?" She yelled out and slapped me. I stared at her in shock, wondering what the hell she thought I said to her.

"Excusez moi!" I heard Bella yell out. "Mon ami voulait dire que lui-même en lock-out de sa chamber et je me demandais si vous pouviez l'ouvrir pour lui."

"You speak French?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Yep, had to learn it for a show I was in. Oh by the way...That was pathetic," she laughed playfully at me.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know," I sulked.

"Ah, oui, oui. Lui dire je l'ai dit désolé s'il vous plaît," the maid said to Bella.

"She says 'sorry' by the way," Bella relayed to me.

I looked at the maid and smiled disarmingly to let her know she was forgiven.

Bella led the maid to Edward's room and she proceeded to open it.

"Merci beaucoup!" That's the only French I know, sadly.

"Well, thanks, Bella," I quite happily said. "You just saved me a lot of trouble."

"Oh, it's not a problem."

"Hey…would you like to go on a date with me? Kind of like a catching up sort of thing," I asked a bit nervous.

I was contemplating asking her earlier, but decided that we needed to catch up after all those years that we missed and it was also part of an ingenious plan that I had brewing up.

"Oh," she said surprised.

I was half expecting her to say no, but instead, she replied with "that'd be great".

"Awesome! How does tomorrow night sound? I know that Jack has a tour of the city planned during the day, but nothing after 7. So I'll come get you at 8?"

"Yeah, that's perfect."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any idea of why she slapped me?" I asked curiously referring to the maid earlier.

"Well, it kind of looked like you were asking her to have sex with you..." she said sheepishly.

"Oh, right. Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow then..." I gave her a last smile before walking into the room.

The suite was fairly big. It looked like the couch was a pull-out to which I was grateful. I set my things down in the living room and went to look for Edward. I spotted him sleeping face down on the bed, still in the same clothes and even wearing his shoes. I decided to jump him.

"Yo, dumbass, wake up!"

"What the fuck?" He yelled, waking up immediately. "How'd the hell did you get in here?"

"The door, obviously." I was pulling his leg and he didn't look too happy about it. "Okay, okay, I couldn't get a room 'cause they're all full and I came up here so that I can ask if I could crash here, but you weren't answering your door or your cell so I ended up knocking on the door after yours, which—conveniently—was Bella's.

"She proceeded to tell me that you were taking a nap. Long story short, I ended up getting slapped by a maid trying to ask her if she can open your door and got rescued by Bella who asked her, in French, to open it. Oh and I also landed a date with Bella tomorrow night, so I'll be busy. Oh and get ready, Jack wants us down for dinner in an hour."

I left his room knowing that my bit about having a date with Bella would bother him for a long time. Now for me to promptly pass out on that pull-out couch...

Edward's POV

"What. The. Fuck?"

AN: Whoa, what what? A new chapter in less than a month? Heck yes! I think that's the quickest I've ever updated...sadly. So what's new, whats new...Oh I don't know, maybe that I got a new beta? :O
She's xhildyx and also my best friend. She kindly offered to be my beta after I've complained to her, I don't even know how many times, about not having a beta anymore, and also not knowing where my previous one went :/

It was quite fun writing this chapter because I had to act out one of the scenes to explain what the hell I was trying to write, haha. Oh and a little bit of information about this chapter, I pretty much wrote the whole thing on my iPod, at like 3 in the morning. Yeah useless information, but for some reason I'm in a rambling mood :/

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Comments, concerns or suggestions please review!
