While You Loved Me

Author's Note: Thank you all for adding me to your favorites and alerts lists. I hope to hear your feedback in the future, if not just knowing that you like my story enough to continue reading makes me feel wonderful. I was going to write yesterday but I was just too tired after grocery shopping all day with the hubby. Enjoy the next chapter. Remember I am writing this from Junior's POV as he reads to Bella in the nursing home.

Disclaimer: You guys know the drill, I don't own Twilight, The Notebook or the song title. I DO own copies of both books, movies and the CD that the song was on.

Chapter 2

Junior's POV

After the day that Bella had her run in on the street with Emmett, he was all she could think about. She thought he was annoying and arrogant but even that peaked her interest in him a bit more. She wondered if his interest in her were enough to make him find a way to see her again. She hoped that he would.

Bella continued to hang around with Alice and Jasper but she began to feel like a third wheel as they always seemed to be in their own world when they got together. One night, about a week after her run in with Emmett, Alice and Jasper invited her to go to the movies with them in town. She didn't see a problem in if being that it was a Saturday night and there was absolutely nothing to do around her estate. Walking up to the theatre arm in arm with Alice to meet Jasper, Bella noticed Emmett standing there as well. She was excited to see him standing there but she tried not to let it show.

"Oh Emmett! What a nice surprise!" Alice said feigning innocence before latching on to Jasper's arm and heading toward the ticket booth of the theatre.

"Wow! That was awkward." Emmett chuckled nervously.

"It's nice to see you again, Emmett." Bella replied with a shy smile.

"It's nice to see you as well, Bella. I have been trying to find a way to see you again and when Jasper asked, I jumped at the opportunity. I guess I was just hoping you would be here." He said with a slight blush to his cheeks. Bella thought that the slight pink, combined with his dimples, only make him that much more attractive.

"I have a feeling that I will be glad that I came." She blurted out with a slight blush to her cheeks.

"Come on you two! We bought the tickets, the movie's about to start!" Jasper yelled from the entrance.

"We'd better go before Ali sends a search party." Bella giggled and they headed inside to watch the movie.

Bella originally took a seat beside Alice and Jasper and Emmett sat on the row behind them. She guessed that he was trying to be a gentleman and give her space. As the movie continued to play, Alice and Jasper began a heavy make-out session right beside her which was beginning to make her feel uncomfortable. Emmett, as if reading her mind, climbed over the seats and sat beside her taking her hand in his. Bella looked at their joined hands and smiled shyly up at him, liking the feel of his hand in hers.

After the movie Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Bella all made their way back to Jasper's car. Emmett took this as his opportunity to talk to Bella alone and whispered in her ear.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" he asked.

"Yeah!" she whispered back with a smile before going over and whispering to Alice where she was going.

Jasper and Alice smiled back at Bella and Emmett before setting off in the opposite direction of where they were heading. Emmett and Bella walked in silence for a couple of blocks before Bella sighed.

"That was the most fun tonight that I've had in a long time." She said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Emmett replied, clearly confused.

"I mean I don't really get out much. It was nice to just get out with friends for a change, what with my busy schedule and all." Bella said softly, taking Emmett's hand in hers as they walked.

"Busy schedule?" Emmett asked.

"Yeah! I mean Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have tutoring. English, math, latin, French, sometimes both. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have piano lessons, dance lessons, sometimes both. It's a strict schedule we've set to make sure I get into the best school next year." She confided in him.

"We?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, my parents and I." Bella said "We make all of out decisions together, this being one of them."

"Where do I fit into all these plans?" Emmett asked with a dimpled grin.

"You were a pleasant surprise that I decided to take a chance on." She smiled back at him. They stopped on the sidewalk by a stop light for a minute.

"Come on." He said pulling her out into the middle of the street with him.

"Out in the middle of the street? Are you crazy?" Bella said hesitantly.

"Yeah, come on." Emmett said sitting down in the middle of the street underneath the stop light.

"You're crazy" Bella giggled.

"Come on, Bella." He said holding his hand up to her. Bella looked around to see if anyone was coming and laid down on the pavement beside him.

"My dad and I used to come out here when I was a kid and just lay here and watch the lights change from green to yellow to red." He said.

"It's so peaceful." She sighed "But what if a car comes?"

"I guess we're screwed then." Emmett chuckled.

Just then a car came barreling down the street causing them both to jump up and run back to the sidewalk. Bella leaned against a nearby building laughing hysterically and trying to catch her breath. Emmett laughed along with her for a second and then stopped and held his hand out to her.

"Will you dance with me?" he asked.

"Here? Now?" Bella asked, still trying to catch her breath.

"Sure, why not?" Emmett beamed back at her, his dimples shining.

"There's no music." Bella said following him back into the middle of the street.

Emmett pulled Bella close to him and began swaying back and forth. He began humming the first song that popped into his head. Bella sighed and laid her head on his chest and whispered softly "I like this song.". Emmett lifted her head up to look in her eyes and kissed her softly on the lips. Bella knew then and there that she wanted to see more of Emmett McCarty and she felt herself falling for him even more in that moment.
