Chapter 1- Keeping Edward Company
Emmett's P.O.V.
What I am doing right now is pretty simple; absolutely nothing. I have gone up to my whole family, prepared to ask if they wanted to play with me, but before I could even ask they would say 'I'm busy Emmett, not now.' I hadn't even asked yet! They're all turning into creepy mind readers like Eddie. Since everyone is so busy, I have declared this day to be 'Emmett Helps the Busy Cullen's Day!' I'll start by helping my in desperate need of a life brother, Edward.
"Eddie mah brothah! Watcha busy with yo?"
"I'm reading the dictionary Emmett… why do you ask?" he seems a little annoyed. He will be so pleased that I have come to help him today!
"No, actually I won't be happy. Look, Emmett, why don't you go bother someone else?" he answered my thoughts in an impatient tone.
"Oh c'mon! Can I at least sit and watch you read your fascinating book of words? I have nothing to do and if I don't help you, how will this day be 'Emmett Helps the Busy Cullen's Day'? you're a Cullen! I must help you! I will help you by… Keeping you company!"
"Fine, you can sit over there," he pointed to the recliner behind him. "but please be quiet."
"Can do and will do!"
I walked over to the comfy looking recliner and took a seat. I wonder if he meant to keep my thoughts quiet too… I'd better think about a song so he doesn't get angry with me. I know! One of my favorites: Twinkle, Twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the…
"Emmett! Do you mind?!" Edward's hands were clenched into fists.
"Sorry. I should stop singing, huh?"
"Yes you should."
"Can do and will do!"
Well, now singing is out of the question. What to do, what to do. I leaned forward to rub my chin and think about what to do and the forward motion made the chair rock! It squeaks when it rocks! ROCK-SQUEAK! ROCK-SQUEAK!
"Emmett! That's it! Go bother someone else!" boy, if vampire's faces could turn red, Edward's would turn red with kung-foo fury!
"Aren't you going to thank me? I took my time to keep you company." It would be polite if he did thank me. Esme always tells me to be polite. I think she forgot to tell Edward. I'd better remind her later.
"If it will get you out of here, sure. Thank you for helping me, Emmett."
"You're welcome Ed-o! anytime you need more help, you know where to find me." Awww… My brother has manners after all. How sweet.
"Just leave Emmett or I'll tell Rosalie that you showed me those pictures of you two on your honeymoon last year." He gave me an evil grin.
"GASP! You swore… I'm out! See ya!" I ran out the door.
If she knew I showed him those pictures, I'd be busted. Besides, the only one she likes to see her in just a frilly pink thong is me… I hope?
