(Edward POV)
"YO MAN! YOU READY?" I yelled up the stairs to my best friend and roommate Jacob Black.
"Seriously man! It takes time to look this good!" he protested loitering downstairs. I groaned.
"Modest Jake. Real modest." I replied rolling my eyes.
"Whatever." He said grabbing his keys from the table and throwing open the door to our apartment and slamming it after us.
"How many times has Ol' Bill told you not to slam the door?" I sighed.
"He calls that piece of crap a door! Look it's not like he thought I would listen. I had to agree with him on that point. Good old Jake didn't listen to anyone. I sort of admired him in that way. He had always been independent after leaving home at a young age. He was tough and he had made it for himself. We were the complete opposites really. I was the quieter, shyer one. So shy that, Jake sometimes teased me for being a pushover. We had been best mates since...well since fourth grade when Jake had joined my school. He had been expelled from his previous school for punching a seventh grader and breaking his nose. We became best friends the day he stood up for me when some kid, Ryan Malone was giving me crap in the hallway. He looked out for me and I looked out for him, even though he didn't need looking out for in the same way.
We had more things in common as we grew up, I had changed a lot since then in the self confidence area., I wasn't stuck on myself but I was good looking. Girls did notice me; I'd had a few girlfriends but never a relationship. Jake on the other hand...He had a good heart but he had his fair share of girls. Both of us loved to party, in fact that was where we were heading now.
We hopped into my Diablo; it was Jake's turn to drive. I must admit it was a sweet ride, my 18th birthday present. It was still in tact after 4 years. We arrived and headed straight to the bar.
"Wassup Kev" I said slapping hands with him, we were regulars here. I ordered my usual and then scanned the dark room. The dance floor was full of thrashing bodies. My eyes came to rest on a table or girls. I nudged Jacob and motioned in their direction.
"Score." He smiled and we walked over.
"Hey, I'm Jacob and this is Edward." He introduced.
"Nice to meet you...I'm Lauren this is Jessica, Danielle and Angie." The girl said in a nasal voice. She wasn't my type really but she was already eyeing Jacob. Meanwhile the one called Jessica I think was looking me up and down. I winked at her and she slid over making room for us to sit. I was jammed up next to her and her way too short dress. I mean whatever happened to leaving some to imagination?
"So...do you want to dance?" She said. I shrugged, downed my drink and stood up. I figured I better be drunk if I was gonna dance with her. She pressed her body to mine as well pushed ourselves onto the dance floor. Before I knew it her tongue was down my throat but I was too drunk to care.
"So...my place or yours?" she asked. Jeez I'd spoken like two words to her and she already wanted to get in my pants. But that was our one rule. Jake and I agreed that we wouldn't sleep with girls like that unless we got to know them.
"How about we just dance for now?" I said. She was too drunk to care and just continued to shake her hips, it looked like she was having a spaz attack. I don't know what made me say it but I couldn't help it.
"I think you need dancing lessons." I said in her ear.
"WHAT?" she yelled back not hearing me; I laughed shook my head mouthing that it didn't matter.
"Hey you ready to leave? I leant over Jessica to ask Jacob."
"Uhhh yeah." He said sliding away from Lauren. I knew that look. It hadn't gone well as it hadn't for me as well.
"Don't you want my number?" Lauren asked him.
"Sure." Jacob replied. Lauren leant down to grab a pen from her bag and I caught Jacob's eye.
"Fuck it. RUN!" he yelled as he dashed around people we both legged it out of there. We collapsed with laughter when we reached the car.
"Not good?" I asked him.
"Awful, she was one of the clingy ones." He shuddered.
"Well then she's exactly like her friend. Let's get out of here." I said.
He gunned the engine and sped out of there back to our apartment. We walked to our door, I put the key in the lock and tried to turn it but it didn't budge.
"Seriously man, are you really that drunk?" Jacob said to me taking the key. "Lightweight" he muttered trying it. Even he couldn't get it to turn.
"Nice Jake. And I was the lightweight wasn't I?" I replied.
"Fuck." He growled.
"We're gonna have to wake up Bill." I said.
"Shit. Well it's your turn." He said. I knew he was right; he had done it last time.
I knocked twice on his door and took a deep breath. A very grumpy looking Bill answered the door.
"What?" he said.
"Look Bill we're sorry to wake you but our key isn't working in the lock."
"Yeh I know'" he replied.
"Sorry?" I asked missing something.
"I fucking got the lock changed." He grunted.
"Oh, well can we have the new key then." I asked politely.
"No."
"What?"
"I said no you moron."
"Why the hell not?" Jacob intervened.
"Because you're being evicted." He replied.
"WHAT FOR?" I said also getting angry now.
"For slamming the door again." He said.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked in disbelief.
"Nope." He said smiling at us baring all his brown teeth.
"Where do you expect us to go now?"
"Dunno, don't care." He said. "Oh here's your stuff." He said chucking out 7 cardboard boxes and then slammed the door in our faces.
"This is a joke." I said.
"I know! He tells US not to slam the bloody door when he just did it HIMSELF!" Jacob blew up.
"Look its fine. We'll sleep in the car tonight and tomorrow we'll have to house hunt." I said trying to be rational.
"That is seriously fucked up you know." He said.
"I know but we can't do anything about it. We were talking about into a moving house anyway." I replied.
"Fine." Jacob groaned.
Damn, this wasn't a good night.
(Jacob POV)
"Eurghhhh, that was the roughest night ever." I sat up my back aching and head spinning. A bottle landed in my lap from Edward, it was aspirin, and I popped two in my mouth.
"When the hell did you get up?" I asked.
"Eight."
"What's the time now?"
"Eleven, so you must've slept pretty well." He replied grinning.
"Shut it." I said but couldn't help smile back. I knew I could trust Edward to make it better. He was the responsible one out of us. He was the best friend I had ever had. He was like as brother to me. In fact he practically was. I used to stay at his house for months at a time. His parents were like my parents; they welcomed me and made me feel comfortable. Carlisle and Esmé were the best parents someone could ask for in life.
"Here I got a couple of papers, start marking." He chucked me a marker pen and a stack of newspapers.
We worked for about an hour.
"Hey I found one here. It says they're looking for 2 roommates. It's a three bedroom apartment next to the coast. It's the perfect location." I said.
"Sounds good. We'll check it out now." Edward said starting the engine.
We arrived at a tall high-rise building. It was made of glass and in the middle of the city. It was the nicest block of flats I'd seen.
"Dude..." I said.
"I know..." he replied.
"But...man I don't know if I could afford to live in a place like this." I mumbled. Edward was always understanding about that kind of thing. He had all the money in the world but you would never know as he was the most ordinary, genuine guy I'd met.
"Look I'll pay to start with. You can get a job in the city and pay me back." He said.
"Well lets first see the place." I laughed.
Even the lobby was posh; it had a fountain in the middle with glass elevators and a reception.
"Hi we're here to see flat number 58." Edward asked the receptionist, who by the way was very attractive. I winked at her as we passed and she blushed in response.
"Dude seriously try to stay focused." Edward said.
"Sure...Sorry." I cleared my throat.
He knocked on the door smoothing down his t-shirt. I don't know what we expected but it certainly wasn't this. This man looked in his forties with greying hair.
"Yes?" he said gruffly.
"Ummm we're here to see the apartment, we were interested in it." Edward said smoothly.
"I'm Jacob Black, this is Edward Cullen." I introduced.
"Sorry no way. I'm not renting this place to two young hormonal males who for all I know will be bringing hookers or strippers back to this place!" he wheezed going red in the face.
"Sir, we have no intentions of doing that whatsoever." Edward said.
"How am I to know that?" the old man glared at us.
"Look we'd just like to see the place, then you can make your decision." I said.
He looked at us carefully for a few minutes, I realised we must look like crap seeing as we hadn't showered or changing clothes since last night.
"Fine." He said curtly opening the door further. We stepped inside. I inhaled quickly, it was perfect. The walls were white and the front living area was spacious. There were two bedrooms which the man told us were the empty ones. They were conjoined by a bathroom; we were used to sharing one anyway. There was a small kitchen which was fine seeing as I didn't cook but Edward could use. Lastly there was a balcony with hanging lights and a hot tub. This place was wicked. I already wanted it. I looked at Edward and I could see he thought the same thing.
"Sir. We'll take it." Edward said.
"No. I'm sorry but there is no way that I am letting two men stay with my daughter all alone." He said.
Daughter? Well now I saw why he didn't want us here. I looked around; I had never wanted a place more.
"Sir could you give us two moments, I just want to talk to my friend." I emphasised the word. Edward looked confused but I had just had a brainwave.
"Fine" He said. We stepped outside and I closed the door behind us.
"What?" Edward asked.
I grinned. "I have an idea which could get us this place."
"What is it?" Edward said sounding excited.
"Ok don't shoot it down just yet hear me out. Okay?" Edward nodded in response. "Well what's better that Ol' Grump's daughter staying with two girls?" I said.
"What?" Edward said still looking confused.
I sighed and said "Two gay guys...in a relationship."
Edward looked at me in shock.
"NO!" he said. "NO WAY JAKE! WHAT THE HELL! NO!" he protested.
"Think about it, it would work!" I said.
"I AM NOT BEING GAY!" he said.
"Look Edward we need this place badly. It's perfect." I pleaded. Edward hesitated.
"No kissing. Or touching inappropriately." Edward said.
"YES! YES! YES! I promise!" I said punching him in the arm. Edward groaned.
I re-opened the door and spotted Old' Grumpy on the balcony.
"Sir?" I said,
"Yeah" he replied turning to us.
"I think you misunderstood us. You see...we are certainly not planning on bringing girls back here." I said.
"Look..." he started but I cut him off.
"Sir we are together...Edward and I we're like together together." I motioned trying to get him to understand. His eyes widened in understanding.
"Oooohhh" he said.
"Yeah I know. And see we're in a relationship so it'll only be us here. And we can take care of your daughter..." I said but a voice cut me off.
"Excuse me? But I don't think I need protecting." The voice said. I turned to see the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had long brown hair and fully rosy red lips. She had never-ending legs which she exposed in shorts and a cute tank. She flipped her sunglasses off her face to reveal the most gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. I opened my mouth but no sound came out.
"Bella dear, this is Edward and Jacob. They're your new roommates." Her father introduced.
"Ohhh! Well it's nice to meet you then." She held out her hand to Edward first. His expression mirrored mine. When I shook her hand he glared at me I had to break the stare.
Shit. Shit. Shit. What had I done?
"What convinced you to let two men stay with me dad?" she asked sweetly.
"Honey. They're gay so you'll have no worries there." He grinned.
"That's great! I'm sure we'll get along fine." She said.
Sure...
