We walked to his jeep and got in. The two of us drove in silence through Forks until we got out of town. He broke the silence, "What happened last night," he stopped to search for words, "Was interesting."

I tilted my head, "Good interesting, or bad?"

He looked at me, "Good. Like I said, I can't keep my mind off of you for a second, and we just met. I don't know what you've done to me, but I like it," he took my hand and kissed it.

I shifted so that I could see him better, "Alice told me about her and Jasper and how they are meant to be together forever. She explained that we meet our, for lack of better words, soul-mate and are together forever. Is that true? Do you buy that?"

He took his eyes off the road and smiled at me, "I wouldn't be telling you these things if I didn't buy into it."

I bit my lip trying to hide the grin I knew would come out, "So, what now?" I asked.

He pulled over and looked at me, "I'm not sure, but I think that we get married."

I gulped, "Married, well, wasn't expecting to come out here and be proposed to so quickly," I laughed awkwardly.

"Not now, maybe over the summer, if I can wait that long to continue what we started last night."

"Do we have to be married to continue that?" I flirted.

He was already out of the car and helping me out by the time I had gotten my last word out, "Should we be?"

I shrugged a little, "I don't know."

Emmett lifted me into his arms and smiled, "I'm not sure I can resist much longer," he kissed me.

"Where are we?" I asked.

He nodded ahead, "We are at one of our homes around here. Alice and Jasper use this when they want to get away," he held up a key, "But Alice handed me the key and told me to bring you here so we could get to know each other."

I laughed, "Alice always knows exactly what to do, doesn't she?"

Emmett unlocked the door with me still in his arms and rushed us inside, "We have all weekend," he smiled.

"Well, what do we do for the whole weekend?" I said dramatically.

He set me down on the kitchen counter and brushed his nose against mine softly, giving me an Eskimo kiss, "I want to talk about you first. I want to know everything there is to know about you."

"Don't we have forever to get to that?" I wrapped my arms around his neck.

His hands went to my hips and he kissed me softly, "Yes, but still, I want to make sure that there are no secrets between us."

I nodded, "Okay, where do I start?"

"The first, or last, thing you remember."

"The last thing I remember was that my mom and I had decided to go to Wisconsin for my birthday and I was attacked. I was sixteen and a junior in high school; I was only a week away from turning seventeen. I was dating a jerk that played football, I was a chubby, quiet girl who everyone liked, but I wasn't very popular. Somehow, this diet of blood suits me though, I'm tiny!" I marveled.

Emmett chuckled, "Go on."

"The first memory I have after I was changed was being hungry. I had somehow wandered deep in the woods in my state and all that was around were animals. I chose to try it and I actually didn't mind it. I decided to seek someone out who could help me though. I was scared to death of what I might do. That was when I met a tracker named James. He told me about the new lifestyle, taught me how to track a little and that was when I tasted human blood for the first time. It was good, but I knew I didn't want to kill anyone. I didn't want to be like the same monster that had changed me."

He nodded, "Human is good, but I can't justify killing someone either."

"When I told James about my attack he began to laugh. When I asked him why he was laughing he told me that he was the one who had attacked me and he was going to use me as his own personal slave almost. I quickly left him for good and decided that I should spend my time doing something productive. Therefore, I went to college. I majored in journalism and took a job in New York as a free lance writer so that I could do it from home mostly. I actually changed my name to Lily Silverstein and became a big part of the newspaper. After I realized I still looked seventeen when I should be about twenty-five, I left. Until a few months ago, I was just traveling around the world and meeting others like us. I found out about your family through Tanya. She told me that I would love the closeness of a family since I had never grown up with one even in my human life. She said that Carlisle was a great man and would welcome me with open arms. Thankfully, she was right, I think I owe Tanya a lot," I smiled at Emmett.

He smiled back at me, "I'm glad she talked you into coming down here, I owe her too," he lifted me off of the counter.

"Your turn, tell me about Emmett Cullen."

"Well, I was in Tennessee, born and raised. I had a fiancé who I loved and a good family life in general. My mother was a teacher and my father was a banker; we were wealthy. I had always had a reckless streak growing up and loved hunting. I was out hunting bears, because I thought it was a good idea," he shook his head, "and was attacked. Carlisle found me and changed me. I was twenty when he changed me. He would never change anyone who really had the choice of becoming one of us; he only does it under certain circumstances. He explained his lifestyle and understood that I might not be able to handle it for a while and told me he would understand if I went off on my own. I tried that out for maybe three years and came right back to him. By that time, Jasper and Alice had joined us. We've traveled a bit, but usually gravitate toward this town more because it is so rainy and cloudy. That's about it."

"What was your fiancé like?" I asked.

"She was short, blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect little housewife; she was the type of girl that would make a great mother and would never complain about her life. I loved her more than anything. When I was on my stint outside of the coven, I went to check on her. Within two years, she had married my best friend and had a child. I resented Carlisle for changing me. I got over it though when I realized that I needed the support he offered. I don't think that my "new" life began though until yesterday, when I saw you," he kissed my forehead, "I saw you walking and I immediately hated Carlisle again because if I could have pulled over right then and talked to you, I would have. That's why when you got to our house yesterday, I was gone. I had to leave to get some anger out, so I went and threw tree trunks around. When I came back and saw you standing there, I was the happiest I had been since I had changed. I think that is when this new life started for me."

"Awe, Em, that's sweet," I stood on my tip toes and kissed him lightly.

He took my face in his strong hands and kissed my forehead, then my nose, then my lips. He kissed me like he had been waiting his whole life to kiss me. I felt as though I had to pull away because there was so much passion. When I did pull away I sighed with ecstasy, "Emmett," I took a deep breath, "Will you promise me something?"

"Anything," he whispered in my ear.

"Will you promise to always kiss me like that and feel this way for me?" I felt my voice crack a little.

"I will always feel this way about you, and I will never stop kissing you like that," he kissed my neck, "But, I will kiss you anywhere and everywhere I can get my lips on."

I giggled, "Well, what's stopping you right now?"

He looked at me and raised one eyebrow, "Nothing," he lifted me into his muscular arms in one foul swoop.

He took me to the bedroom and laid me down on the bed. He smiled down at me, "I have a confession; this will be my first time."

I smiled, "How long have you been a virgin for?"

"Shut up," he tickled my sides.

"It's okay; it's my first time too."

"Good," he slipped his shirt off over his head, revealing his rippling muscles.

I took in his six pack abs, his bulging biceps, and his perfect pecks. He slowly kissed me and lifted me off of my back. He slowly slid my shirt over my head revealing my pretty pink bra. When he saw that the smirk I had first seen came to his face. The rest of the time we were together that night was a blur. It seemed like we had been rolling around in the bed for hours, and we had. However, it was amazing. I had my head on his chest and his arm was around me, with his other hand holding mine. I knew that I was smiling from ear to ear and I was pretty sure that he was too. Emmett pulled me in just a little bit closer and began to laugh a big burly growl.

"What?" I leaned up to face him.

"Never, in either of my lives, had I imagined I could last that long or that I would have been able to be with the most beautiful woman in the world. It's just funny to me, but a good kind of funny."

"Oh really?" I hit him.

"Like I said, it's good though," he tried to fight me off, but I was too fast.

I kissed him, "Emmett Cullen, I love you."

He put both his arms around me and pulled me into his as close as he could. He wrapped both of his arms around me in a big bear hug, "Not nearly as much as I love you."
