Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but I wish I owned Emmett!
I wake up in bed, with the early morning sun brightly shining through the open window. The breeze is soft, caressing my skin and blowing through the wide room. My squinted eyes become fully open as I sit up and I can see Emmett walking in with a tray containing pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice and coffee.
"You're awake," He says grinning as he climbs onto the bed beside me.
"Barely," I reply. "What's this?"
"I figured we could have breakfast in bed. Didn't want to wake you, you looked so beautiful lying there."
I feel myself blush hard at this. I try to act casual though.
"So – What are we doing today?" I ask him.
He hands me a cup of orange juice and as I sip it answers, "Well I thought we might go into town and try to find the china set you've been endlessly searching for. Then maybe go to that restaurant Rosalie mentioned. What was it? The Harbor? We could have lunch there."
I suddenly find myself staring at him. As I shake myself out of my trance, I say, "Yeah that would be great. Really Great."
"Good," He smiles. "I'm going to run a couple errands and make our lunch reservations, but I'll be back in a couple hours and then we can go. Alright?"
"Okay, I'll be ready," I say.
I climb out of bed and take a quick 10 minute shower. Afterwards I decide since we're going to have lunch at a nice place, to wear something "nice." I don't own anything really nice but I manage to find some black jeans, a white collared shirt and my new black heels.
As I walk downstairs, Emmett is just gathering his coat and car keys. (His car is a silver Volvo.) "Bye Honey," he says as he makes way to the door. "I'll be back soon. You look great." He looks down at himself. He's wearing a pair of jeans, an ACDC concert t-shirt and his Nike Airs. "Way better than me," He smiles as he walks out the front door and closes it tightly behind him.
I get myself another cup of coffee and head to the couch to read the morning paper. As I open it up I see that today is just another boring day in America.
Just as I'm flipping to the funnies, I hear a knock on the door. I get up to open it and when it swings open I see Rosalie's perky self standing there. How someone can be that perky this early I really don't know.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask.
"Well I was outside watering the garden when I saw Emmett's car pull out and figured you might like some company." She smiled.
"How sweet of you, but I don't want to interrupt your garden needs." It was only after I said that that I realized how tacky it sounded out loud.
"It's no problem, I was done anyways," She says. "Besides I want you to come over and see the house."
I really liked that house. And seeing it would just make me like it more. Which is probably why I answered, "Alright then, on one condition."
"What's that?" She asked.
"You give me a tour of every single inch!" I laugh.
