Rose's POV – by TotallyObsessed82
“Baby, if you hadn't changed dresses fifteen times, we wouldn't be running late. So quit yelling at me,” Em retorted.
“How long have you been married to me? You know how I feel about these events. I am the best looking person in this family, and I need to represent that at all times,” I said as I finally removed my seatbelt because Em had finally parked next to Edward's Volvo.
He got out of the car, and walked over to open my door for me. “Rose, we all know you are gorgeous, but everyone knows what you look like by now. The dress you wear really makes no difference.”
I stepped out of the car and onto the pavement. “Ask Alice, the dress makes all the difference. Now grab your father's gift from the trunk, and let's go inside.”
“Whatever you say, babe.”
I smoothed out the bottom of my dress, and reapplied my lipstick while Em retrieved the big box from the trunk.
We walked to the front door, and I knocked on the door.
“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cullen,” Henderson greeted us.
“Hello Henderson,” I replied.
“May I take your coat, Ma'am?” I removed my coat, and handed it to him.
“The rest of the guests are waiting for you in the conservatory.”
“Thank you. Have someone bring me an apple martini?”
“Certainly.”
We made our way to the conservatory, and I could already hear Edward playing the piano. Was it really necessary that he play for every event? We all knew he could play, but damn, it gets old after a while..
I walked into the conservatory to see the entire Cullen family gathered around the piano, talking and drinking. Everyone looked very cheerful. It was always a good time when the entire family came together. Esme always went above and beyond for Carlisle's birthday parties.
“There you are!” Esme exclaimed as she sat her drink down, and walked over to us. She enveloped me in a hug before I could even respond to her.
I chuckled lightly. “Hi, Esme. I'm so sorry we are late.”
She pulled out of the hug. “Nonsense, dear. We were just settling in. You two haven't missed anything.” She moved over to hug sat down Carlisle's gift at his feet so he could hug his mother.
“Hey Mom.” He held her in a huge bear hug that lifted her off the floor.
“It's good to see you, son. I've missed you lately,” she said as Em finally placed her feet back on the ground.
I walked over to greet the rest of the family, taking the time to make sure to wish Carlisle a happy birthday.
The staff finally brought my drink to me. I took a sip, and was instantly pleased. Carlisle's staff knew just how I liked my drinks. Lots of liquor, and little apple mixer.
I settled into a nice conversation with Alice and Bella. It was nice having some girl time. I wished Esme would join us, but I knew better. She was always so enamored with her boys, and it was like a present to her to have all of them in one room.
I glanced over at Em to find him telling jokes to the rest of the clan. His jokes were always so ridiculous, but the way he acted them out made people laugh so hard. He truly was the entertainer in the family.
We decided to go over, and see what the fuss was about with everyone else.
I stood next to Em, and looked up at him. “You're not telling those dirty jokes again, are you?”
“What? Everyone thinks they are funny. See?” he said as he pointed towards the group.
“Whatever you say, Em,” I shook my head.
He turned to hug me, and placed a light kiss against my forehead. He let his hands roam down to my ass, and he palmed my cheeks forcefully. I swatted at his chest.
“Em, we cannot do this right now. Behave yourself!” Em was just a big teddy bear. He looks vicious, but would never hurt a fly.
I heard a knock against the door, and was thoroughly confused. I wasn't sure who it could have been. Everyone was here already.
A few moments later I was stunned into silence when I saw Tanya Denali walk through the doors. What the fuck was that skank doing here? I knew Esme would not have invited her. That bitch had pretty much fucked the entire city outside of the Cullen men and Charlie. Apparently, they were the only ones with any class. Tanya was the local slut, and everyone knew it.
I was furious when I had found out she was working for the family business. I trusted Emmett, but I didn't trust that bitch farther than I could throw her.
She walked in with that sly smirk on her face, and I just wanted to slap her. Some of the other women tried to be cordial to her, but I never pretended to like her. She knew that she was on my shit list.
Em pretty much turned to stone when she walked in. It wasn't like Em to be intimidated by anyone, much less a skanky bitch like her.
“Rose, calm down. I can hear you breathing. She knows better than to fuck with you,” he whispered in my ear.
I shoved my empty glass at him. “I have to go to the restroom.” I was pissed, and it was written all over my face.
I had to pass Tanya on my way to restroom, and she gave me the most shit eating fake smile. Again, I wanted to slap her into the next week.
I stayed in the restroom for a few minutes, trying to calm down before I ruined the whole dinner. Tonight was supposed to be a fun night, and that bitch had to show up to create some fucked up drama.
I walked back into the conservatory to find Tanya with her hand against Em's chest. She was saying something to him, and he looked like a ghost was talking to him. I stood in the doorway for a minute to see how far she was going to attempt to take it. Em pushed her hand away, and she reached down to pinch his butt cheek as he walked away. Could that bitch not take a hint?
I walked over to Em. “That bitch is trying to die tonight, isn't she?”
“Rose, you know I don't go for the slutty type. She could never do anything to make me want her. I have everything I need right here,” he said as he pointed to my chest. That fucker knew how make me forget I was mad.
“I know. I know. I just hate her so much.”
“Well, she isn't going to ruin our good time tonight. Wanna go back to the bathroom, and I can make you forget all about her?”, he asked as he raised his eyebrows.
I laughed lightly. “You are such a perv. I've already told you we cannot do this here.”
Henderson came in to tell everyone that dinner would be served shortly, and we should make our way to the dining room. We all started to slowly trickle out of the room, and into the dining room.
“Babe, I need to talk to Edward for a minute. I'll meet you in there, okay?”
What in the fuck did he need to talk to Edward about that couldn't wait?
I sighed. “Fine. Don't be long,” I replied.
“You got it,” he said as he turned to walk the other way, and I continued my walk to the dining room looking at the family pictures on the wall smiling at the memories.
I was almost to the dining room when I heard an extremely high pitched scream come from the library.
I stopped walking mid stride, and began to run towards the library. Fortunately, I can run better in five inch heels than most women can in sneakers. I wasn't sure who was screaming; I internally hoped that no one was hurt.. Where was Em? Please say that someone had just seen a rat or something..
I reached the open doors, and saw Lauren standing next to Tanya's body, her red dress barely covering her body. There was a huge knife covered in blood laying next to her, and blood all over the carpet. Lauren wouldn't quit screaming.
I walked over to the body, and looked down at Tanya. That bitch had finally gotten what she deserved. I didn't feel sorry for her one bit.
I shook my head and smiled. “Esme is gonna kill whoever did this and ruined her carpet.”
