Hi all...First chapter up. Secound up soon.
Erm, usual, disclaimer.
If you want, R&R and I don't mind flames :)
Leah and Emmett are in love. Rosalie is married to a vampire named Connor (think Joaquin Pheonix look-a-like). Oh, Alice and Jasper are together (so cute!), and Edward lives with the Volturi.
Nuff said.
First date
"So?" Leah says, standing on her doorstep and looking at him expectantly.
"So what?" He says, shuffling on his feet and avoiding her eyes.
Leah smiles widely at him. "Are you gonna kiss me or what?"
He doesn't need a second invitation, fingers lingering on her hips as he kisses her softly. She looks sort of dazed when he pulls away.
"Thanks Cullen." She smiles, her teeth sinking into the pillow of her lip, then skips up the stairs and disappears inside.
Fifth date
It's early afternoon, the sun just past it's peak in the sky. Emmett and Leah are sitting together at a café. In the middle of a lapse in conversation, Leah sits up straight in her chair.
"Do you love me?" Leah says.
She might as well have been asking Emmett about the weather. "What?"
She rubs her nose nervously. "Look, I'm pretty sure I love you. I just want to know if you feel the same way, or if I'm just wasting my time."
The news surprises Emmett. "I've loved you since I saw you."
"Cool." She smiles, then looks at him impatiently. "Do I have to ask Em?"
Emmett rolls his eyes playfully and leans forward to kiss her. "I love you."
She giggles, fingers dancing on his chin. She kisses him once more before whispering, "Love you too."
A year later
Emmett takes Leah's hand in his, his thumb rubbing small circles on her palm. They are lying together at First Beach, admiring the stars whilst the angry sea hisses and foams on the sand below.
Suddenly Emmett sits up and looks at Leah. "Would you say you love me?"
Leah smiles at him. "Always. I love you Emmett Cullen."
It's Emmett's turn to smile. "Alright. Would you say I do?"
At this comment Leah sits up and looks at him, incredulous. "Are you serious?"
"I'm dead serious." Emmett replies, eyes sparkling as he pulls a ring from his pocket.
Leah's smile overtakes her face. "Absolutely."
Wedding day
"Do you, Leah Clearwater, take Emmett Cullen, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?"
Leah smiles at her fiancé. "I do."
"With the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband, and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Leah can feel Emmett smile against their lips.
Wedding night
It is night time. Moonlight is shining on the harbour below, casting a glow to the numerous dormant luxury yachts.
A soft smoulder from the lamp on the bedside table lights up the room.
Emmett grins at her shyly, nosing her hair. The notion makes her laugh.
"You're adorable when you're shy." She coos, wrapping her arms around him.
"Shut up." He buries the reply in the crook of her neck, then looks back up to her and catches her bottom lip with his teeth.
She smiles at him, encouraging him with her eyes. As he rests his full weight on her, she struggles to remind herself that this is them, and this is actually happening. The joy is overwhelming.
They're puzzle pieces, moulding together effortlessly.
She lets him guide them together, revelling in the elation of their marriage.
