Chapter Three

Emmett POV

--

"Hey, human."

"Hey, cannibal," she sniffled at me.

"Technically, I am not a cannibal," I told her. Score one for Em Cullen… Oops. Did I say that out loud? I don't think so…

"Oh go jump off of a building, and leave me alone, Emmett!" Bella told me, crankily.

"Actually," I said, my retort handy, "it's a cliff and that's you area of experience. Silly Isabella!" I watched, for the millionth time, my sister go very red in the face.

"we were sitting on Edward's leather couch, waiting for Bella's soup to finish warming up. Bella was sick with the Flu, and she only let me know about it after everyone had left to go "camping" and I had volunteered to baby-sit. Bella was supposedly having a sleepover with 'Lonely Alice,' or so Charlie thought.

Beep.

"Emmett, make yourself useful and go get me some soup."

Boy, why is she only this pushy and demanding when it's me? "Fine, but you better be grateful." I stuck my thumbs in my ears, my tongue out and wiggled my fingers at her.

"You know what?" She said in a huff, "I'll get it myself."

I got it to her, with out spilling a drop, before she could even throw the blanket off.

"Well." She said, flustered.

"'Well'…" I prompted.

"Aww… Emmett, it's bad enough that I'm PMSing, but with having the Flu, can't you be a little bit more sympathetic.

"Have you ever realized that 'Sympathetic' has the word 'pathetic' in it?" Yeah, I'll admit it. I felt a little guilty. Only a little, though. Not enough to stop teasing her.

I laughed. "So… whatcha wanna do, Bella? Watch TV? Trip over something? Prank calls? Read?" She noticed my change of subject.

"What, are you feeling guilty, Mr. Cullen? Do you feel bad for poking fun at a sick person?" She snickered.

Obviously, you missed the second choice, or you wouldn't be asking that. Let me," I laughed, "repeat. Whatcha wanna do, Bella? Watch TV? Trip over something?"

Next thing I know, Alice is ripping my hair out of my head saying, "Apologize right now and give her a hug," her tone deadly serious.

As I hugged Bella, I heard her whisper in my ear, "Score one for Bell Swan," and she quietly snickered in my ear until Alice and Edward joined in with huge,. Belly deep laughter while I pouted and yelled, "I will win, Isabella Swan. Just you wait!"
