Chapter Three.

“So I guess you better go back to lying down on the couch. I’ll finish up putting the groceries.” Alice stated, as they started to head for the kitchen again.
“We don’t have much to put away and it is about time for me to have another meal. Are you hungry?” asked Tamia, as she looked over at her.
“Nope, you go ahead and eat.” Alice said, as she pulled out her homework and got down to work on it while watching Tamia cut up some vegetables and some meat to sauté in a pan. “So why did you really move out here?”
“To get away from my family before I did something that I would regret.” Tamia replied.
“So what was it?” Alice looked up from her books. She looked at Tamia and wondered why she was not able to see her future for some odd reason.
“Just some tension in the house.” Tamia started to look at the spices and picked some pepper and some salt to put into the veggies before she grabbed the olive oil to drizzle over the veggies.
“Between you and your mom?”
“Not really between her and me . . . it was more between my older brother and myself.”
“So you and your mom got along?” Tamia nodded, as she plated her meal and walked towards the table. “But why did you move out?”
“Conflict between my brother and me were to the point where I was very close to losing my temper and do something that I would later regret.” Tamia stated.
“So you figured to move far away to get away from it?” Alice asked.
“Yes, my mom expected me to just move a few miles away but not this far.” Tamia smiled and then started to chuckle. “When mom heard how far I was planning, oh, the fit she threw was huge! All she wanted me to do was back down like I did all the other times that I tried to do this.”
“You tried to move out before?” Alice was a bit shocked by that.
“Yes, but mom threw her fit and threatened the lives of my two horses if I dared to move away and at that time I didn’t have the funds like I do now to break free. I had to back down that time around.” Tamia said between bites.
“Sounds like your mother didn’t really want you to leave,” Alice said. She stopped working on her homework as she looked at her.
“Yeah, but when it came to my job . . . she had no bloody ass problems with that and my job is as dangerous as any cops if not worse.” Tamia replied.
“I guess she knows where you are at, she has no problem but when you don’t come home . . . that’s the problem.” Alice said. “So what kind of job was it?”
“Well, police but at times, I was a bodyguard for those who needed it and could pay my fee.” Tamia replied. “I am efficient when I’m in bodyguard mode.”
Alice was about to say something but she glanced towards the road and stood up from the chair as she headed for the door. “My mom Esme is here.”
“Oh? I didn’t hear a car pull up.” Tamia asked, as she got up and followed Alice out of the door, just in time to see a really nice car coming up the road. “Oh, wow. Your family must have some money.”
“Well, considering my dad is a doctor. He gets paid the big bucks.” Alice replied, smiling at her.
Esme pulled up in her car and climbed out. She approached Tamia with a smile on her face and her hand out for her to shake. “Ms. Sanders, I’m Esme Cullen.”
“Mrs. Cullen, please call me Tamia,” Tamia asked, as she shook the woman’s hand. She diverted her eyes to glance at her hand before looking away.
“My apologies. When Carlisle called and told me that we had a new neighbor . . . I rushed home to make some cookies . . . I hope you like them. They were Edward’s former girlfriend’s favorites and one of my favorites to make.” Esme replied, as she bent down into her car and pulled out a plate of freshly made chocolate chip cookies.
“Oh wow, thank you very much for the offer.” Tamia said, accepting the cookies from her. “Please come in or are you in a rush to get home to make dinner for the family?”
“Oh we eat when we get hungry.” Esme stated.
“Ah, come in.” Tamia said, as they headed into her kitchen where Alice quickly got back to her homework. Before Tamia closed the door, she glanced up at the cloudy sky before she placed the cookies on the counter and offered Mrs. Cullen a chair.
“Mom, did you know Tamia is a bodyguard?” Alice asked.
“I didn’t know that.” Esme said, as she looked over at her. “Is that why you moved out here because of a job?”
“No, I decided to move out of my family home before I did something to another that I would regret and getting a job here in Forks, Washington seemed the best idea.” Tamia replied, as she poured herself some skim milk and started to munch on a cookie.
“So how do you like the town?” Esme asked, as she sat down next to her daughter.
“Well, this is my third day here, my first day officially here as a resident. So far Captain Swan and the waitresses at the local diner seemed to be friendly. The folks at the feed store could use a hot pack to be much warmer towards newcomers, but hey, I had expected that of some of the townsfolk.” Tamia replied.
“So you spent some time here before then?” asked Esme.
“Yes, when I was searching for a place to keep my two horses at and also be away from others. My mom doesn’t understand my desire to live like a hermit, when I’m somewhat sociable.” Tamia stated, as she picked up another cookie to eat.
“Hermit?”
“Yeah, I like my privacy and yet I like to visit with others but I tend not to do that very often. People find me strange when I have to end a visit like within five minutes of me being there.”
“Because of your job as a bodyguard?” Alice asked.
“Well, yes. I get calls at the most ill time possible but I do my best when I’m irritated and they seem to know when I’m doing something.” Tamia replied. A light ring was heard. “And speak of the devil himself, they are calling. Excuse me.” Tamia hurried outside of the house answering the call.
Esme and Alice listened to Tamia speak in a foreign tongue, which they both knew. They wondered how she knew that tongue.
“Well, this time I’m not going to be rushing out of here.” Tamia stated as she walked back in.
“Why?” Esme asked.
“I told them I have a mild concussion and can’t work for a few days. They’re going to look to another bodyguard for the job now.” Tamia replied. She had hoped that they didn’t understand the language that she spoke as it would probably be easy to cover.
“So it was an Italian millionaire who wanted you?” Alice asked.
“Yes, they are by far my biggest clients. I have at least twenty millionaires that I protect when they go anywhere in the world. But this time, I’m out.” Tamia stated, rubbing the bridge of her nose.
Esme smiled as she stood up and walked over to her, looking at her gently all the while nudging her towards the living room. “Maybe you should go rest?”
Tamia looked up at the motherly woman and smiled. “I should. Dr. Cullen would have my hide if I didn’t,”
“Oh, my husband would just encourage you to rest and keep on doing so till you followed his orders.” Esme replied, with a gentle smile on her face.
Tamia picked up her glass of milk and finished it before she washed it in the sink and dried it before she placed it back up in the cabinet. She walked towards the living room where she saw Esme standing there looking at the photos on the wall. “Those are of my folks along with my older and younger brother.”
Esme noticed that other photos just showed the older brother, Tamia and their folks. “Where’s the younger brother?”
“Gone.” Tamia turned away from them both but the tone in her voice said it all.
Esme walked over to her and wrapped her arm around her. “How did he go?”
“Car accident . . . but that’s the cover we told everyone, he actually threw himself out of his car while it was going 50 MPH. He sustained fatal wounds, to which there was no recovery from.”
Alice looked at her. “Why did he do something like that?”
“Broken heart. His fiancée dumped him and that sent him over the edge to do what he did.” Tamia replied. “After his passing, I got tougher into my jobs, got a lot more successful and folks started to see me as the top of the best bodyguards out there. My rates were raised and my clientele grew bigger.”
“You were not successful before his passing?” Alice asked.
“Oh I was, I just didn’t take that many clients. I went into overwork mode, which proved to be very financially beneficial to me in the long end of things.” Tamia replied.
“So you are well off then?” Alice asked.
“I don’t really need the dispatcher job for the police station here, that’s for sure.” Tamia smiled.
“But you are doing it to keep up an appearance in town as a normal citizen?” Esme asked gently.
“Correct, my occasional visits to town will spark interest in me by the townsfolk and that’s how bad rumors start up.” Tamia replied. “I’m sure that by now the rumor mill is going rampant with my appearance at the diner with Captain Swan already.”
“Oh?” Esme asked. Her interest was perked by that comment. “What did he do?”
Tamia smiled. “He bought my lunch and was very attentive to me while I was with him. He never looked away except to introduce someone to me.”
Alice squealed as she hopped on her feet. “Sounds like he likes you already!”
Tamia smiled as red tinted her cheeks. “Who knows, but I’m not really interested in dating anyone right now.”
Alice looked seriously at her. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, besides in my line of work, having no relationships with anyone is the best.” Tamia stated as she sat down with her fingers to the bridge of her nose.
“Maybe you should head for your bed and get some sleep?” Esme suggested sweetly.
Tamia looked over at them both and realized that she did need to sleep as it would help the pounding in her head. “I think that is a good idea.” As she headed for the stairs and climbed them to get to her bedroom.
Alice waited for about an hour before she went up to Tamia’s room to check on how she was doing to find that she was sound asleep under several blankets, the top one was a hot pink furry blanket, which Alice liked a good deal. ‘I wonder where she got it from, as I would like that in my room.’
Alice went back to the ground floor to see Esme looking at the sofa and the chairs. “She had the boys move them about, mom.”
“Ah, so they were helpful?”
“Yes, even Edward.” Alice stated. She glanced up the stairs before looking at her mom. “I think he likes her.”
“Hopefully, not to eat.”
“I don’t think it is that way, mom. I think he found someone who could be just as moody as he can be.” Alice replied with a smile on her face.
“You saw what their future could hold?” Esme asked. Alice nodded excitedly. “Alice, do not tell either of them about that. Edward just got over ‘Bella’. I doubt he’s interested in starting up another relationship with another human.”
“Maybe one day, besides, she’s not some 16 year bitch who cheated on a very good man, mom. Besides, how do you think Carlisle would feel if you cheated on him, pretty put off by the betrayal, mom?” Alice said.
“You know I would never cheat on Carlisle, I love him dearly.” Esme replied.
“I know that mom.” Alice said.
They talked till the night started to show in the house but they didn’t touch the lights that was within the living room.
“Mom, you better go on home, I’ll be fine here.”
Esme nodded and kissed her forehead like she normally would before walking out of the house leaving her with a warning about what she saw.
Alice watched as her mom’s car’s headlights fade away in the darkness of the night. She had turned on some lights in the living room and sat down in the chair reading one of the books she saw on the book case.
Soon, she was finished reading that book and picked up another. Till she had to go check on her again and then resumed her book reading till about 10pm at night when Tamia woke up and they spent the next two hours talking before Alice made sure that she would go back to sleep till morning.

Stay tuned, the next chapter could be coming shortly.
