Bella POV:
I count the minutes until the Bell ring fidgeting with anticipation to see my Emmett. As soon as the teacher releases us I almost run down the halls towards the parking lot. I spot my handsome boyfriend leaning against his car clearly waiting for me. Calling him my boyfriend doesn't do justice to my feelings for him. Maybe love of my life, soulmate or simply my mate. The person I want to…. and will….spend eternity with. My Emmett.
Even though I can't wait to be in his arms, when I notice he's so lost in thought he didn't even turned to me yet, which is surprising considering the fact he's very attuned with me and can't forget about he's vampire senses, I slow down my pace trying to guess what could he be so worried about.
He's still the greatest man ever and he hasn't been neglecting me but ever since last week he's been acting weird. When he thinks I'm not looking, there's always a frown on his beautiful face. But since Emmett has never shut me out and talks to me about what's he's thinking or if there's anything troubling him, I'm trying to give him some time before asking about it.
He finally turns to me and gives me the smile I know it's my smile. His face lights up and he opens his arms waiting for me. Things like that are the reason I'm not too worried. I know we're better than ever.
I quicken my pace and throw myself at him knowing he'll catch me.
"Hi Baby. Missed you." He whispers in my ear after locking me in a bear hug lifting me off the ground.
"Missed you too. How was class? Learned anything new?" I tease him.
He chuckles and gives me a sweet kiss. We open our eyes at the same time and just look at each other.
I break the silence by saying "Baby, your eyes are a little red. When was the last time you went hunting?"
He thinks for a second and says "A few days ago".
I frown at his answer "Well, you're going today. I'll just wait at the house for you."I kiss him and the small peck turns into a passionate kiss that makes me shiver all over.
"Hi guys" we hear Alice say and breaking the kiss we turn to greet the others, Emmett glaring a little for the interruption.
Alice and Jasper are holding hands and Edward's possessively holding Rosalie around the waist.
"What's the plan today?" Rosalie asks.
"We'll just go to your house. I'll wait there while Emmett hunts."
"Anyone want to come with me? Rosalie?" Emmett asks.
I see them staring at one another silently talking to each other. I used to be a little jealous of Rosalie and Emmett's bond, which I know is only there because she was the one to change him but I couldn't help how I felt. Emmett has always been patient and understanding, reassuring me time and again nothing ever happened between them, I still get jealous especially in situations like these where I see Edward looking back and forth between the two showing clearly they're not thinking about their silent talk.
"Sure" She smiles and I tense as I see Emmet smile back a little too happy. He must feel my reaction because he kisses me on the neck and near my ear while whispering his love.
"I'm going too." Alice says, looking straight at Emmett challenging him to say no.
Jasper must be feeling all the weird emotions causing him to be the one to tell everyone to go to their car and leave. Emmett helps me into his Jeep and runs to the driver's seat.
"Everything alright babe? "He asks me
"Yeah" Is my brilliant answer
He reaches with his hand and links our fingers together. "You sure?"
"I just really wanted to be the one who you went hunting with" I reply giving him the half truth.
"I know. Me too. I can't wait to share a grizzly bear with you" He gives me a dimple smile and adds
"It won't be long. We agreed we would wait 'til after graduation, Bella."
"I know. And I can't wait to start our eternity together" I say squeezing his cold hand and giving it a light kiss.
"So, what're you doing while you wait? I promise I won't be long." He asks
"I'll probably just do my homework and then lay down for a bit. And take as much time as you need, do you hear me Emmett Cullen? I want you to take care of yourself." I'm a little harsh but I know he sometimes feels bad about leaving alone while he's hunting.
"I promise" He replies leaning over to give me a kiss.
When we arrive at the house, everyone is waiting for us by the front door.
"What happened Emmett? Do you need a driving lesson?" Edward teases him but Emmett doesn't respond and I squeeze the hand I'm holding as a silent thank you knowing the reason he drove slower…and not human slower, just slower for the Cullen family…. was because of me and how I feel with the high speed.
"Alright let's go!" Alice bounces on her feet and turns to say goodbye to Jasper. I wonder why she's so excited to go hunting.
I hug Emmett tight and he says "Bye baby, I promise I won't be long."
"Okay. I'll wait for you in your room. Please be careful" I used to be embarrassed about asking a vampire to be safe but I can't help it with my Emmett. I always need him to come back to me. And since he said he liked it and felt good knowing I cared, I always make sure to tell him.
"I will. Love you" He kisses me making my body feel alive.
"Love you too, my Emmy bear"
As they're leaving he gives me only last look before disappearing and taking my heart with him.
