READ & REVIEW!

REMEMBER IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE!

"Why aren't you eating, is something wrong?" Emmett asked from across the table. The worry lines etched on his forehead as he stared at me. He reached out his hand and rubbed mine in his. We were in the food court having lunch; he had insisted that we come to the mall to do some walking around. Both of our jobs were hectic and we needed some alone time.

"No" I smiled weakly, "I'm ok"

"There has to be something bothering you, you normally eat good, and you said you were hungry, tell me what's going on." He pleaded with his eyes. He did a good job of showing his emotions with his facial expressions.

"Nothing, I'm fine" I said exasperated. We had been together six months and I already knew exactly what he was going to say before he even said it.

"Ok, I'm sorry" He said defensively as he raised his hands

I stared at the man in front of me, holding a fork and had a napkin tucked into his shirt.

I really did care for him, but for some reason, I didn't feel as if he were the one for me. Why didn't I have feelings for him as he did for me?

My mind was racing feverishly, I knew I didn't want to marry him, but I didn't want to break his heart either. We had been friends for a long time, and I didn't want that to change.

"C'mon, let's walk the mall together" he said throwing his napkin on his empty plate. He stared at me sideways.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" He asked again, while taking out his wallet to pay for the meal I had hardly touched.

"Yes, Emmett sweetheart, I'm fine" I said with a forced smile.

"Do you still love me?" He smiled with a childish grin on his face.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, of course I love you silly" I stared at him.

"Good, cuz I love you too." He quickly swooped me up and whirled me around.

Faces all around us were looking our direction, some of them with looks of admiration and others with looks of scorn.

"Emmett! Put me down" I hissed at him "People are staring at us."

"But Bella" he pouted, "I want everyone to know that I love you" He slowly put me down and looked at me softly.

"Can I have a kiss at least?' He grinned

"Ok, a quick kiss on the cheek" I said looking around. I didn't like attention, and right now, I was getting too much of it.

I tiptoed to reach the big hunk of man of mine and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I could smell the scent of his cologne, it smelled amazing on him.

Slowly my lips reached his cheek and before I knew it, he quickly turned his head so that my lips crashed into his with a lot of force.

He wrapped his arms around my waist so I wouldn't be able to let go.

With all my force, I used my hands to push him away. I could see people now turning away from us.

Some mothers were ushering their kids to the other side of the mall, the look of disappointment eminent on their faces.

Emmett let go with a big smack.

"Why did you do that?' I yelled

"Do what?' He asked innocently, he shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't know what I was talking about.

I used all my force to hit him.

"You know I don't like it when you do that! People were looking at us!" I screamed with my teeth clenched.

"Stop Bella, why are you so uptight? People kiss in public all the time." He started walking away from me, I could tell he was hurt by my reaction. He normally didn't get mad, but sometimes I knew I was able to push his buttons.

Honestly, he could be so dumb. He knew how I was about attention, and he had no respect to understand that it mortified me.

I stared at him walking away from me, I quickly ran to catch up with him.

It seemed these last few weeks had been so hard for me. I saw him almost every day, and everyday, he seemed to irk me more and more. Why did dating have to be so hard?

I did have a great time with him, but sometimes I just wished he could be more serious. I always felt that he had no respect for me. Everything I asked him not to do, he would do just to spite me.

"Emmett wait!" I yelled catching up to him. Several people looked in my direction, obviously confused that I was running after a man.

He stopped and looked back at me His face was sad.

"I'm sorry I got angry," I grumbled "But you know I don't like attention"

"But why Bella?" he said looking at my eyes sadly. "You're beautiful, and I'm happy to be with you. Is that so bad?'

I felt my stomach fall to my feet

I had been so mean to him, I had no idea he felt that about me. He was proud of me, and I guess I was being a horrible person by not letting him show me off.

I slowly slid my hand into his enormous one. I let my thumb rub on his thumb, he looked down and smiled at me.

"C'mon Bells, lets go" his smile was contagious.

I smiled back at him. I did love him, he was the most amazing guy and he showed me the most amazing affection.

We continued to walk hand in hand down the mall, not really saying anything, both of us just looking at the different stores around us.

People around us were whizzing by, getting all their shopping done.

Suddenly, Emmett stopped in front of a Victoria's Secret

"I think this would look good on you, Bella, you have the body for it." He said looking at me and then the picture of the gorgeous model. She was wearing the latest swimsuit they had showing. Her pouty face was the most perfect I had seen.

"You know I won't wear that, Em" I said flatly, eyeing the perfect ten foot cardboard picture in front of me.

"Just try Bella" he said exasperated.

He dragged me in and went straight to the cash register, he held on to my hand tightly so that I wouldn't get away,.

"Em!" I hissed, "No!"

"Bella, you'll look beautiful" He insisted

"Excuse me m'am" he said in his most polite voice to one of the ladies behind the counter.

She looked up from sorting some papers where the cash registers were.

"Can I help you sir?" She said smugly, obviously annoyed that we had interrupted her with her duties. She wore the tightest black shirt, I had ever seen, her boobs came out perfectly just like the models in the window.

I knew I could never look like that. My small breast had no comparison to what stood before us.

"Where is that outfit that you have displayed on the window?' He asked

"They are on that side of the wall sir, "she said pointing to her left hand side.

"Emmett!"

He held onto my wrist tighter now, he knew if he let go even just a little bit, I would run out of the store.

I struggled to get my hand free; he was a dead man if he got out of the mall alive.

He quickly ran to the other side of the store to where the designer swimsuits were, the ones he had eyed were thongs and completely white with black and pink polka dots.

"See Bella, what's your size?'

"Emmett" I seethed. He knew I didn't wear things like that. I was so angry at him. Again, he wasn't listening to me.

He was rummaging through all the sizes, looking at which one would best fit me. I just stood there glaring at him. I had had it with him.

"Emmett Cullen! I am very capable of picking out my own swimsuit thank you! I yelled.

Everyone in the store turned to look at me. My heart rate went up and tears stung my eyes.

He just stood there staring at me, like he couldn't believe what I had done.

Why doesn't he listen to me? I thought to myself as I ran out of the store, leaving a dumbfounded Emmett behind me.
