Chapter 2

Rosalie's POV

"Rose?"

Emmett's voice jolted me out of my trance. I glanced at him. He was looking at me strangely. "You've been staring at that bear for two minutes straight," he said slowly.

"Are you still thirsty or something?"

"I'm fine, actually," I said, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that the bear had ridiculously gotten on my nerves. Drained away what was left of my thirst. "Unless you're still thirsty, of course," I added.

He grinned at me, previous episode forgotten. "Tell you what, let's make a bet."

I didn't really get his enthusiasm about bets, or whatever it was that made him so happy, but I usually went along with him.

"Yeah, fine, whatever you want," I said.

He leaned closer to me, a glint in his eyes. "Whoever takes down an elk first wins, okay?" I waited for him to go on. "And," he continued, "the winner gets a request of their choice." I narrowed my eyes. "Any rules?"

"Nope." He smiled widely.

"Ready when you are."

"Go!" We took off full speed in opposite directions. It was easy, there were plenty of elks around this area. I could already catch the scent of one a few hundred feet away.

I pushed all thoughts of the bear out of mind, instead focusing on the scent of the elk nearby. I didn't even slow as I drew closer.

I pounced. Just as I was about to make the kill, Emmett appeared, triumphantly holding up the dead carcass of his elk. I sighed, letting mine go. I wasn't sure whether I could have stomached it anyways. Emmett tossed the elk about five hundred feet away, and it vanished into the trees.

I crossed my arms.

"You win this one," I admitted grudgingly. "Make your request, then."

He stepped closer to me. "You," he whispered, his voice low. His amber eyes were sparkling in the afternoon sun. Just like the rest of him. Just like me. And I couldn't help breaking into a smile.

I closed the distance between us, draping my arms around his neck. I let my lips wander over his shoulder, moving up towards his jawline in light, feathery brushes.

"You're killing me," he murmured. He kissed me, with the fire that raged between us every time we were like this. The blazing passion which never faded over the centuries. And I responded equally. His fingers were woven into my hair, holding me gently. My hands explored his back, tracing patterns down his spine.

I had no idea how long it was before someone cleared his throat. Ugh. I knew who it was. And I didn't want to break away from Emmett.

"Go away, mutt," I muttered, trying to ignore him and that awful stench he always brought. The odor won. I spun around to face him, glaring.

"Good to see you, too, Blondie," he said cheerfully.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded. "Spying on us?"

"For your knowledge, Beauty Queen, I was on my way to see Nessie," he retorted. "Obviously unlike some people."

I gritted my teeth. I understood his connection to Nessie, but that didn't mean I liked it. It meant a thick, disgusting mutt odor constantly hanging in our house.

"Romantic place, huh?" he pushed on, annoying me further.

Emmett smirked. "It's actually not bad."

I whacked him on the arm.

"We are going shopping tomorrow!" Alice announced in a singsong voice.

It was just her, Bella, and me sprawled on her bed in the evening.

Carlisle was working late at the hospital, treating his latest patient. Nessie was playing with Jacob (the mutt) downstairs. The others had gone out for a baseball game.

I would have gone, too, if Alice hadn't dragged me into her room, along with Bella. Neither of us was too excited about her proposition of a "girl's night."

Bella simply because she hated shopping, dressing up, and all the girly stuff Alice loved. Me, because I wanted to play baseball.

"Alice," Bella complained. "It's their wedding, you know. We're not the ones getting married. There's no point in overdressing. Besides, it's not like we have nothing to wear." Secretly, I agreed with her. It wasn't that I didn't like shopping, it was just that Alice always overdoes these things.

After Emmett and I had gotten back from our hunting trip, we received an invitation in the mail from the Denalis, inviting us to attend Kate and Garrett's wedding in Alaska. The wedding was taking place next week. We had also been invited to stay with their family for two weeks after the wedding.

We called Carlisle at work, and he agreed immediately, of course. Everyone was looking forward to the trip. After all, Forks wasn't always the most exciting place.

"It'll be fun," Alice insisted, "besides, I've been dying to go to that new shop at Port Angeles." Bella wrinkled her nose. "I still don't see why we have to go."

"Because if you don't agree nicely right now, I'm going to haul you screaming and kicking into the car tomorrow. Tell her, Rose."

"Never doubt Alice," I agreed. She beamed at me. "See?" she gloated.

"Fine," Bella grumbled. "What about Renesmee, though?"

"Don't worry about it," Alice assured her. "I'm sure Esme will be more than happy to take care of her. Or Jacob."

And it was decided.
