*I obviously don't own Twilight. But I do own this. Haha! Please review. :)*
Hmm...here it is, my new Emmett-Rosalie fic. I wasn't really planning on posting this story this soon because I'm still working on my other two fics, but I just felt like I should post this because my mind just kept on nagging me to post this. This one was included on the list of the ideas I had that I sent to some of you back then. I really hope that you will like this. Anyway, I think I'm going to require at least more than five reviews before I post the next chapter. Lol. This chapter is a bit short since it's the first. Enjoy reading. :)

"Felix!" Rose called out as she grabbed her coat and purse. "Come on, we're going to be late."
Rosalie laughed as she heard a few soft thuds from their bedroom. Apparently, Felix was having a hard time with his semi-formal outfit.
"Do I really have to wear polo? You know I don't wear this kind of stuff. And the slacks, too." Felix complained out loud as he looked at his image on the mirror. He never opted wearing this type of clothing; what he prefers to wear are comfortable jeans and simple shirts.
Rosalie, dressed to impress as always, decided to go inside their bedroom and check on Felix. A small smile escaped her lips when she saw him dressed formally; it looked good on him even if he denies it.
"It's a formal event. You can't go to Jasper's party dressed with jeans; it's his graduation party." Rosalie said as she closed the final open buttons of Felix's polo.
Felix let out a sigh of defeat and gave Rosalie a small peck on her lips. "You look stunning." He said as he looked at her dressed in a red cocktail dress.
"I know." Rose replied with a proud smile. "Come on, let's go." She and Felix went out of their apartment and jumped onto her M3 Convertible and drove off to Jasper's house.

Emmett sighed as he jumped out of his girlfriend's car. He really didn't want to go to this party…but he doesn't have a choice; the celebrant is his sister's boyfriend.
"Will you just try to put on a happy smile?" Heidi asked as she got out of the car. "Alice knows that you don't want to go here; at least try to look happy for her and Jasper."
Emmett's brows furrowed when Heidi mentioned Jasper's name. He doesn't have any complaints about Jasper – it's just that he happens to be his ex-girlfriend's twin brother. This party only means one thing – he'd see Rosalie Hale one way or another tonight.
As if she was able to read Emmett's thoughts, Heidi linked arms with him, giving him a look that says 'don't worry, and don't even think about her'. They entered the house and were greeted by Alice by the doorway with a happy look on her face.
"I'm so glad you made it!" Alice beamed with enthusiasm. Of course she's happy, after all, she half-expected that her brother might not show up tonight. Her enthusiasm was rocked by the sight of the woman beside Emmett. Alice, being a fashion magazine editor, knows that this girl is nothing but trash.
Pushing away her thoughts for a while, she smiled again. "Jasper will be so happy when he finds out that you're here." She gushed, trying not to look at Emmett's new girlfriend.
"Where is he, by the way?" Emmett asked his sister, sensing that something was bothering her.
And at that same moment, he saw the person he has both been wishing and avoiding to see. Rosalie came into view and walked up to Alice with a man trailing behind her. Emmett almost melted when he saw her, still beautiful and ethereal.
How long has it been? Two years?
Rosalie, trying to look calm and unshaken by the awkwardness of the moment, smiled. She took one blissful look at the woman beside Emmett and smirked. She tugged Felix closer to her and took a deep breath.
Alice saw the tension that was beginning to heighten up as seconds pass by. Why did they have to bring dates? She asked herself. "Come on in, Jasper's probably waiting for you. There's food in the kitchen." She stated with a fake smile.
Rosalie literally dragged Felix and looked for her brother – eager to move away and not see Emmett. Felix knows who Emmett is, and felt so protective of Rosalie in an instant; he thought that somehow, Rosalie might get attached to Emmett again and leave him behind.
"Jazz!" Rosalie called out to her brother who was by the bar. "Congratulations!"
Jasper instantly smiled when he saw his sister and walked up to her and gave her a warm embrace. He and Rosalie doesn't have too many chances of seeing each other nowadays; he's been busy at med school and Rosalie was busy with her career.
"I'm so proud of you!" Rosalie beamed, sincerely proud of her twin brother. "When are you going to start working?"
Jasper let out a confident smile. "Next month, maybe. I got accepted at the town hospital."
Rosalie smiled again and gave her brother a tight hug. She felt Felix's hand on her shoulder and pulled away from Jasper. "Jazz, this is Felix." She introduced them to one another.
Rosalie excused herself from the two as they began to converse and started to find Alice. The two of them have been and still are close friends, even after she and Emmett broke up.
The guests were starting to get thicker, and Rosalie pushed herself past the dancing people and accidentally got tripped by someone. Having no time to respond, she almost fell down to her knees, but someone held her back to prevent her from falling to the floor.
The grip on her arm was familiar; firm but gentle. She stood up and regained balance, and stared at the hand that was still holding her arm. It was Emmett.
"Are you okay?" Emmett asked with his concerned tone.
Rosalie managed to nod and give him a smile. "Yeah, thanks."
For a moment, they just stood facing each other, taking in the awkward silence between them – completely forgetting the fact that they were surrounded by other people.
So, there you go. Hit the button below and tell me what you think. I'm serious about requiring at least five reviews before I post the next chap. Haha. Reviews make me feel good.
