Chapter 2

Emmett

A/N Thank you all for your reviews! Ya'll rock! I've gotten different opinions on whether Edward can, can not, or already has cooked for Bella, and I decided that since it's not covered in this chapter, I didn't yet need to decide. I think I know where I'm going anyway…Thanks to all of you who put up with me and my uncertainty, and thanks to those who reviewed to my buddy Dr. Bubbles (avidreader101) with ideas for me! If you have any other ideas, please send them in in your reviews or Pm me or send a review in to What CAN'T Edward Do? By avidreader101.

Ok, so enough babbling! Here's Chapter 2!

--

Although Edward seemed a little surprised and perhaps a slight bit at edge, he nodded and said, "All right." But he really caught me off guard when he then asked, "What do you want?" I could suggest anything of course, since I intended to eat it, but I had really been hoping to hit him with something hard. Alice though, blurted out at vampire speed a long list- a feast.

"Alice! I can't eat all that!" I protested. She gave me a warning glance.

"don't worry, you and Charlie will eat it as leftovers." I realized that she still didn't want to give the plan away to Edward.

"Oh, sorry I forgot." I amended, although I knew that it would still be too much.

"Ok then, I'll go get started." Edward replied. He gave me my favorite heart-stopping smile, a kiss on the forehead, and then disappeared. Alice grumbled under her breath as soon as he was gone.

"Sorry."

"That's not the problem really. It's just that he's gonna be a while, but I can't see what he is making or how it will turn out. I changed the meal to dinner, so you should probably head home for a while or something." Alice said, giving me a tired smile. Carlisle and Esme chuckled; then Carlisle headed back to his office, Rosalie in tow. Esme however, walked to her kitchen, likely going to lecture him on the use of her stuff.

Alice's gaze went out of focus for a minute, then she squealed and dragged jasper out of the room. I glanced over at Emmett, who was still on the couch, appearing to be bored.

"Em?" I asked, not caring to bother with his whole name. His eyes glanced my way but his head didn't move a fraction of an inch. "Could you drive me home? Since you're not busy?" He looked thoughtful for a long moment, with an expression that looked odd on his face, so much so that I had a hard time not laughing. I almost lost it when he replied,

"On one condition." since when did Emmett make conditions with me, let alone anyone?

"What then?"

"Can I stay over for a while? Things are…kinda boring here. And Rose is busy."

My eyes were bulging out of their sockets I was sure, but I nodded, definitely shocked.

"But I think you should stay out of sight of Charlie. He might ask questions…" I added.

Then out of nowhere, Alice was lithely dancing across the room. "Don't worry, Charlie won't be home anyway." she said, and continued on into the kitchen. Several seconds later, we heard a yell, clattering and clashing, and laughter. Emmett and I exchanged a quick confused glance, then rushed in after her.

Somehow Alice had managed to sneak up on Edward, sending the flour bag he was holding to lose it's contents over everything, and then I'm not sure what, but they'd erupted into some kind of food fight. Eggs were in his hair and on the cabinets, and surprisingly there was some sort of raw meat on the counter and now in the sink, and as we came in Edward threw Alice on the floor and she screeched as the flour and spices of some sort got on her clothes, along with the eggs from the top of Edward's head. Apparently she hadn't been laughing long. Emmett looked like he was going to fall over he was laughing so hard as Alice chucked ice cubes from the now plugged in fridge at Edward while he was spraying her with a water hose from the sink. (Frankly, I was worried that he was going to bring the fridge down with him, he 

was leaning on it so hard.) Jasper had been several steps behind us, and had now decided to get involved. He snatched a few plucked flowers from their vase and flung them at Edward, who just barely ducked. Emmett tossed more ice cubes at Alice and Edward, then pulled me in front of him to prevent from getting hit.

Carlisle and Rosalie were suddenly there; both were astonished at the scene before them. They were only there for a few second before Esme showed up, and she looked MAD. Edward's triumphant grin vanished, Jasper's mood shifted everyone from happy to wary, and Alice, scrambled (somehow gracefully) to her feet. Emmett grabbed my elbow, and dragged me from the room. Within seconds he had raced upstairs, grabbed a large black bag, came back downstairs, picked me up, and zoomed out the door to my pickup. He set me in the passenger's seat, slammed the door shut while tossing the bag one-handedly into the pickup bed, then slid across the front of the car like they do in the movies to jump in the driver's seat. He snatched the key from my hand as angry yells came from the kitchen along with a few remaining eggs that sailed out the open window. He slammed on the pedal and we raced out of there at the truck's top speed, just below 60 mph.

I let him drive that speed until we hit the road, where I assured him that we were in the clear, and he slowed down, but not without complaining. Emmett fidgeted until we reached my house, where he leapt from the vehicle as soon as he cut the engine. He dashed inside after getting through the door, and was gone from my vision. I followed slower, closing the doors to the truck, taking the key from it and putting the house key back under the eve. I walked into the living room to find Emmett planted on the floor, waiting for some sort of game to load.

I glanced at the clock. I had about an hour until lunch, and although I was hungry from not eating breakfast, I was already a bit tired, so I traversed the staircase while I spoke to Emmett.

"I'm gonna be in my room, ok?" I asked. I heard a grunt for a reply and shrugged. He was raptly playing his game, and wouldn't bother me. I laid back on my bed, my arm over my eyes to block the light. Maybe I'd take just a short nap…

A/N so yes, I know that was another pathetically short chapter, but I'm stalling a bit until I can update again. The next chapter will probably be better, too. Hopefully. Anyways, I hope ya'll enjoyed it, and this is probably your last chance to send in your ideas for my list! Thanks for reading and I'll update as soon as I can!
