It had been a month since Emmett and I had started our class together and I had to say I was getting pretty good at signing. Emmett's speaking was coming along nicely also. He was still really shy about it so he only spoke when he was with me or when we were in class. I felt special that I was the only one that he wanted to hear his voice. We were currently in his room looking through his albums for a picture for him to submit to the art show that I had signed us up for. I loved how we shared a common yet different interest. Things were going great, were talking, laughing, and occasionally kissing as we looked through the album. Then we came across a picture of Daphne. Since Emmett and I had gotten together the wall of Daphne had been turned into the wall of Bay. I knew he still had the pictures and as much as it has touched me, it also made me sad when he took all of her's down. Emmett tried to turn the page quickly, but I stopped him.

"Don't its beautiful." I signed. Again he tried to turn the page. This time I took the book from him and studied it. It was beautiful. Daphne was laughing at something, her eyes sparkling; the light was hitting her perfectly making her look like she was glowing. It wasn't surprising that he had loved her.

"You miss her." I signed looking at him. Ever since we got back together he had been avoiding her. I felt awful, I didn't want to be the reason that they weren't talking. "It's okay you know, to talk to her. She's your best friend. I don't mean to sound conceited but I hope I'm not the reason the two of you aren't talking. I know you don't need my permission but I just want you to know that I'm cool with the two of you being friends."

"You're amazing." He said

"No, we're amazing. So is this picture. You should put it up." I said getting off the bed and putting it on the wall where the pictures of Daphne use to be and the pictures of me now were. Emmett came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and put his chin on my shoulder. We stood like that just staring at Daphne for a little while.

"I think I'm going to do the EastWest Fest thing with Toby and Wilki." Emmett spoke

"Really?" I asked turning to him

"Yeah, I really enjoyed playing with them that night at the benefit. Plus it will give me a chance to practice my talking." Emmett signed

"That's great that you want to play with them. You don't have to talk though if you don't want to. It would however be a good a way for Toby and Wilki to learn to sign more. Toby is really bad at it." I laughed.

"I agree he's not very good, but he is trying." Emmett said

"That he is. Hey how about we do something we don't have to practice." I signed. Emmett gave me a puzzled look and then I signed make out. At that he laughed and leaned in to kiss me. Every time his lips touched mine it felt like someone had set me on fire. With his hands on my hips he guided me back toward the bed. When the back of my legs hit the bed I lost my balance and fell on to it pulling Emmett on top of me causing me to laugh.

"Not funny." Emmett said pulling away from me. I grabbed him though and pulled him back to me kissing him again. He pulled me close to him and rolled us over so that I was on top of him. As I placed my legs on either side of his hips, I deepened our kiss opening my mouth to allow his tongue access. As he thoroughly explored my mouth, my hands roamed his shoulders and chest, loving the way his stomach muscles tightened when I ran my fingers over his abs. I guess Emmett felt that he learned all there was to know about my mouth because his lips traveled down to my neck. He sucked gently on it and I moaned loving the feel of his lips on my skin. I felt him smile against my neck at the feel of my moan and then my phone rang. I reluctantly pulled away from him to see who it was. Of course it was my mom. She wanted me home for some reason then I noticed that it was 10:30 and I had to be home by 11.

"It's time for me to go." I signed with a pout getting off of Emmett.

He walked me to my car and kissed me once more. It took a lot of restraint to pull away.

"Hey, do me a favor? Think about what I said. Talk to Daphne, you shouldn't throw your friendship away." I signed giving him another peck on the lips and getting into my car.
