Chapter 7
We arrived back in Forks Sunday evening, after dropping the others off at the Cullen's Emmett and I took the Jeep to Charlie's.
I was surprised to find that the peace and happiness that I had found on vacation carried over when we got home. There was a slight twinge of sadness as we pulled in the driveway and my beautiful car was gone.
"Em," I said taking my head off of his shoulder and looking at him.
"Yeah Babe?"
"What time is your practice over tomorrow?"
"We are doing doubles this week, so we will finish up around 11."
He looked at me, wondering why I was asking, I smiled my best smile at him.
"Well I think I need a new car, I don't want another Volvo, and I was thinking who better to help me, then my sexy (kiss), sweet (kiss), amazing (kiss), car-loving (kiss) boyfriend!"
"Really," he looked like a kid on Christmas morning.
"Well, I guess I could always ask Rose to take me, since you don't want to take me and she does know a bit more about cars and." I was teasing him, he jumped out of the car, ran around my side and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder, and he started spinning in circles.
"Emmett, stop please," I laughed "You're going to make me puke!"
He only spun faster, "Are you going to take it back Bella?" he laughed.
"Yes, Yes, Yes," I said, "You are the best Baby I swear, now please!" he stopped, swinging me down and holding me bridal style against his chest, kissing me.
"Ahem," we both jumped, Charlie was standing on the porch laughing at our expression.
"Hey Dad, sorry" I said as Emmett set me down on my feet, I stumbled a bit, my balance even more effected then usual from the spinning.
Emmett and Dad both laughed, and Emmett helped me as we walked up to the porch.
"I'm glad your home Bells, it's been too quiet around here without you!" Charlie said hugging me.
"Missed you too Dad," I said walking into the house. "I'm just going to take my stuff upstairs and then I will start dinner."
Charlie's POV
I heard the unmistakable rumble of Emmett's Jeep pulling into the driveway.
I had missed Bella while she was away. She hadn't been here long, but having her here made so very happy. When Renee and I separated and she took Bella with her; I was devastated, but I thought that having her mother as her constant care-giver was what was best for Bella; it was hard and I spent many nights shut in from my heartbreak. Bella was happy with Renee and eventually Phil became the step-father I had hoped Renee would find for my girl. I never wanted her to come here this way; losing her mom and Phil but now she is here and it's like the sunshine has returned to my life after many years of darkness.
I heard her outside, the sound of her laughter filling my soul, she was happy. Walking out on the porch I was surprise to see her slung over Emmett's shoulder and he was spinning her in circles fast like I used to do when she was little.
Every father thinks that no boy or man will ever be good enough to deserve his daughter's heart. But Emmett was different, at the age of three he lost his own parents. The Cullen's adopted him and have raised him as their own but I know that he has suffered a loss that few will understand and somehow fate decided to point him in the direction of Bella; the one person who can understand her grief and watch over her is in her life. What more could a dad want?
I hated to break up there little love fest, but dear old dad's heart could only take so much.
As I watched her walk up the steps, the time had come to bring Emmett up to speed.
"I arrested Jacob Black, he's out now, I'm not really sure what type of sentence he's going to get though, he has been ordered to stay away from Bella," I said
"He will too, if he knows what good for him," Emmett grumbled, "Edward, Jasper and I will be looking out for her too."
I knew he wouldn't let anything happen to Bella, placing my hand on his shoulder, and then taking it away.
"And Paul," Emmett said lower so that Bella couldn't hear.
Shaking my head, I was disappointed that we hadn't found him; part of me hoped his would disappear and not come back but my talk with Jared had taken those hopes away.
"We are still looking, he might have just decided to leave town," I said.
"Hopefully, but I doubt it," Emmett said.
I heard Bella coming back down the stairs.
"So Dad, what are you in the mood for tonight?" she asked looking at Emmett and I.
"You don't have to cook Bells, you are probably tired after you trip, let's just order a pizza," I said heading for the phone.
She was happy, looking at my daughter something had changed while she was gone, her brown eyes sparkled like they had when she was little and I never wanted to see them look any other way.
EMPOV
We chilled with Charlie for the night, watching "Righteous Kill" and eating pizza, Bella and I on the couch with her snuggled up next to me and Charlie in his chair.
The movie was good, but my mind was focused on my conversation with Charlie, Paul was still out there, hopefully he would be smart and just stay away. But let's just say that he isn't smart, I would keep my Bella safe she was happy now, our talk this morning still ringing in my ears.
"Promise me we will come here with our kids" she had said, and while the normal 18 year old male would have freaked when his girlfriend of a week said those words.
I had known from the minute I met Bella that our lives would be spent together, and I wasn't afraid to admit it, our lives we so similar. We had both lost parents, and until she came along I never felt like I belonged either, but with her I had a purpose and dreams.
The movie ended Bella was asleep, so I carried her upstairs, laying her down and covering her up. She opened her eyes and caught me looking at her.
"It's going to be lonely, without you tonight," she said.
"I'll be here right after practice, and then we'll go get your car," I said giving her a goodnight kiss.
Walking back down the stairs, I said good night to Charlie, noticing as I walked out the door, that he had a security system installed while we were gone.
Driving home I could still smell Bella in my Jeep, her strawberry and freesia smell lingered there, if I could bottle her smell I would.
BPOV
Waking up without Emmett was a change, but I had slept soundly, and looking at the clock it was after 9.
Looking at the calendar, there was only one more week of total freedom until school started. Grabbing a quick shower, and dressing in blue jeans and a pink top, I went downstairs for a quick breakfast, Emmett would be here soon, and then I would be off to get my 3rd new car in 2 years.
I laughed out loud at that thought. Then I remembered why I was getting a new car. Fear struck me for a second, but I shook it away. I walked over to the door, unlocking it so Emmett could come in, when I saw the control panel.
"What the hell?" picking up the phone I dialed the familiar number.
"Chief Swan!"
"Hey dad"
"Hey Bells, what's up?"
"Dad, when did you have a security system installed and were you going to me?"
"Sorry, Bells I forgot. I figured with you staying there alone when I am on midnight that I would feel better knowing you are safe."
"Ok dad, thanks but I will need the pass code you know to come and go" I laughed as Charlie laughed too.
"Sorry Bells, its 6749"
"Ok got it, Oh yeah Emmett is taking me look at new cars today, so I will be gone most of the day!"
"Sounds good sweetie, see you tonight."
We said goodbye and I walked back into the kitchen looking in the cupboard where Charlie kept the manuals for electronics; sure enough the book for the system was there.
Sitting down and reading about how to use it, killed the time until I heard the rumble that made my heart rumble. He was here! I met him on the porch, and we met on the steps.
"How was practice," I asked after ending our kiss.
"Rough our first game is Friday and coach is working us hard."
"Ah my poor little teddy bear," I saw with mock pity.
We headed out heading out, talking about what I was looking for.
We stopped at the JEEP Dealer and I saw it, it was one of the moments where the choir sings and bells ring.
"Emmett, I found it, look!"
There sat a beautiful hydro blue pearl JEEP Wrangler Unlimited. Emmett circled, eyeing it approvingly. The sales guy came out and I let Emmett do the talking, this was his thing.
It was fully loaded with 4 wheel drive, had just arrived yesterday. The salesman handed Emmett the keys, and we climbed in to test it out.
I let Emmett drive because once again, this was his thing I liked it because it was pretty.
We drove about ten miles and then we stopped, switching sides so that I could get a feel for it.
"I love it Em," I said rubbing my hands up and down the steering wheel.
"I think I am getting a little jealous of your car babe," he laughed.
After we got back to the dealership and filled out the papers for the title and signed the credit card receipt I climbed in my pretty new car, and with Emmett following we headed back to Forks.
The rest of the week flew by pretty much the same, meeting Emmett after practice, heading to his house and hanging out with the gang, dinner with Charlie our last week of freedom was flying by.
Friday came and I decided to go down to the school to watch Emmett practice, the school wasn't very far, it was a beautiful day out. I was going to his house to hang out with the girls before the first game.
I parked in the lot and walked over to the stands, I could see the players lined up on the field running different plays in the front by the bleachers were the cheerleaders.
I made my way up into the stands, and took a seat not really paying attention to the looks I was getting from some of the girls, I hadn't met anyone in Forks besides the Cullen's and the Hale's so I was still a stranger.
Two of the girls came walking up to me, one tall with unnaturally blonde hair and a spray tan and hideously long nails, the other was about my height with dark brown hair.
"Hello, I'm Lauren" the blonde girl waved, her perfume hit me like a wave of stench.
"Hi, I am Bella Swan," I said waving back.
"Oh you're the Chief's daughter, welcome to Forks," Lauren said.
"I'm Jessica, by the way so how do you like it here, where are you from?" she said in a fake bubbly voice.
"It's ok, I haven't been here long, I moved here from Florida," trying to answer all her questions and look for Emmett out on the field. The guys were running laps now, and Jasper and Edward were running by when they seen me and waved back smiling at them, I still didn't see Emmett.
"You know Jasper and Edward," Lauren asked in what I figured what her real snotty tone.
"Yes, I met them last weekend and Alice, Rose and Emmett, so are you ready for the game tonight." I asked trying to change the subject.
"Yes our squad is one of the best around, Edward and Jasper are so cute, and Emmett is an absolute dream, everyone says that we would make a great couple, we are perfect for each other." She said as if telling me to back off.
Practice was breaking up, "Well good luck tonight," I said standing up.
As I was walking away, I heard her nasally voice tell Jessica.
"Hasn't even been here a week and she is already friends with them, well she had better leave my Emmett alone."
Oh if she only knew.
"Hey" Jasper called running over to me.
"Hi guys, where is Emmett?" I asked still looking for him.
"He had to leave practice early to go the dentist, we were actually heading to your house to see if you could drive us up home with you," Edward said.
"Sure, I said walking to my car with them.
As I was climbing in, I saw Lauren and Jessica watching with a mixture of anger and envy as we left the parking lot.
Emmett was waiting when we pulled up, smiling his big smile that I loved.
"Sorry babe, I tried calling you but there was no answer" he said. Wrapping me in his arms and hugging me tight.
"That's ok, I went up to practice to surprise you, I ran into you other girlfriend there so when were you going to tell me about her?" I said pretending to be mad.
"My who, OH" he said recognition dawning on his face, "You met Lauren, isn't she a peach" he laughed.
"Well like you two are like so totally like made for each other, she like told me," I said trying to sound like her.
He was laughing so hard; he picked me up and carried me into the house.
"I can walk you know," I said as he sat me down.
"Are you sure about that" he joked and took off and I chased after him, through the back door and out into the yard, when I caught him he fell to the ground pulling me down with him.
We laid there talking about his practice and the game tonight, until the back door opened and I was attacked by a short pixie with black hair.
"Emmett, you promised that you wouldn't hog Bella all day, we have to get ready for tonight," she said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the house. Once we were locked in her room with Rose, I noticed that there were make-up and hair products spread out everywhere, I could see that I was in for a long day.
As Rose was fixing my hair, and Alice was painting nails in a color she called Spartan Blue.
"So I met Emmett's other girlfriend today at the football field," I said. They both giggled, Alice looked up from my nails and Rose caught my eye in the mirror.
"Could you smell her before you saw her," Rose asked.
"Oh god yes, what they hell kind of perfume does she wear, it reeks,"
"Trashy Ho, by Ode to Skanks" Alice laughed
I laughed at that, obviously Lauren was not a "Friend".
"Jessica didn't seem too bad; she at least didn't smell bad."
"That because she is mini-want-to-be she hangs on Lauren's every word and act, if she didn't she might not be half bad, they tried to be friends with us in the beginning, but their main interest was really in the guys." Rose said picking up another section of my hair.
"She made a point to tell me to stay away from Emmett, in a matter of words."
"She is going to freak tonight then when she sees you at the game in his jersey, she's been after it forever, and after him forever," Alice said starting on my left hand.
We gossiped the rest of the afternoon away, as Alice moved to my make-up and Rose started getting herself dressed.
There was a knock on the door, and Esme walked in telling us all that we looked beautiful, and that dinner was ready.
"Mom cooks a big dinner before every game, it's tradition" Alice said as Esme left.
Turning to look in the mirror, I gasped. I had never looked so pretty before, my hair was pulled back into a pony-tail but full of curls, my face looked natural but still had a glow to it, and the Jersey fit perfectly, snug in all the right places just like Alice and Rose's. I stared in the mirror for a bit longer.
"I think she likes it," Rose said grinning at Alice.
"Of course she does, and Emmett will too, just like he like the blue nightgown," she winked at me and I blushed super red.
"ALICE!" I yelled, "I don't know what you are talking about," I said in a calmer voice.
"WHAT!" Rose yelled loudly turning to look at me. "You told Alice and not me," she said trying to look hurt.
"I did not tell Alice, wait a minute how did you know, did Emmett say something?" I was in shock.
She grinned her evil pixie grin, "Emmett didn't say a word, you did just now!" she said laughing as I smacked her arm.
"That is not even right!" I said "You tricked me!"
"Well I waited thinking you would say something and you didn't so I had to do something." She smirked.
"Alice, we are not talking about this right now."
"That's fine, we'll talk about it tonight after the game, you're staying over, I already cleared it with Charlie!" she said dancing out the door.
We headed down to dinner; Emmett came into the dining room with his mouth hanging open.
"What?" I said.
"How the heck and I supposed to concentrate tonight with you looking like that, I will be to busy tackling all the guys to keep them away from you," he said leaning in and kissing my cheek.
We headed to the game, the stadium was packed but as we made our way to the section that Alice said her family always sat, I could hear whispers about me.
"Look, she has on Emmett's number"
"Who is she"
I just kept walking, I saw Charlie sitting close to wear the empty seats were and he waved at me, I ran up and hugged him, and he introduced me to some of the people sitting close to him.
Making my way back down, I saw her glaring at me, Lauren was looking from Alice, to Rose, to me, shock crossing her face as she seen that I matched the others.
The team came running out on the field to screaming fans and the school fight song, I located Emmett right away, and he turned to me and waved, I waved back at him, ignoring the stares from the girls around me.
I realized quickly that I loved football, and caught on to the plays and what was going on even quicker, cheering with the family as Jasper threw the ball, Emmett blocked and Edward ran in the touchdowns.
We won the game 42 – 14. I waited with Alice and Rose outside of the locker room for the guys, Jasper and Edward came out first and I waved by to them, telling them good game and that I would see them later.
I stood there waiting for Emmett, walking back the corridor a bit, I heard her voice.
"Great game tonight, the way you like blocked the other team was like great."
"Thanks," the familiar voice said back to her.
"Let's go celebrate the big win, I have my car; we can like go up to the point," she said trying to sound sexy.
"No Thanks, I have a girlfriend." He said and I smiled at the sound of that.
"What, that new girl, she's like been here for a week, you can be like serious with her yet, she doesn't have to know, we can have a bit of fun," I was getting mad.
"I told you, I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, and even if I didn't, I wouldn't go anywhere with YOU," he said emphasizing certain words.
Turning the corner he saw me, and came running over.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting my love, I got held up" he said jerking his head in her direction.
"You are so worth the wait," I said and he pulled me into a deep kiss.
I heard her stamp her foot and walk away.
We walked arm and arm out to my JEEP, he opened the passenger door for me and I climbed in.
When he got in, I asked him "What's the Point?"
He looked at me for a minute a bit confused, and then it hit him.
"That's the local make-out spot, every town has one," he laughed. "Sorry about Lauren she won't leave me alone."
"Yeah I noticed, but I can handle her!"
We headed home; Esme was making a victory treat for the guys.
We pulled in and the house was all lit up, it looked beautiful at night, inside everyone was seated talking about the game, Emmett sat down on the couch and pulled me on his lap, I nuzzled my head into his neck and he made a noise almost like a purr.
Esme brought out the victory cake, and we all had a big piece, the guys wanted to play a game of Guitar Hero, and they all took turns, it was after midnight when the everyone paired off.
Emmett pulled me to my feet and started up the steps. When we reached his room, he pulled me to him kissing me.
"Where am I supposed to sleep at" I asked.
"You aren't sleeping anywhere but right here" he said nuzzling into my neck and planting kisses down it.
"Well then I guess I need to change into something I can sleep in." I said heading towards his bathroom.
He pulled me back and whispered in my ear, "Leave on the jersey, and don't take your hair down yet!" Goose bumps broke out over my entire body as his breathe was hot on my neck.
I went in and put on a pair of Forks Spartan shorts that Alice had given me, and brushed my teeth.
I walked back out, stopping right in front of him; he looked divine in pajama pants and a tight t-shirt.
He pulled me to him kissing me all over my face, neck and shoulders as he told me "You have no idea how hard it was to concentrate with you looking so HOT."
He took a step back sitting on the edge of the bed. "Bella, take your hair down,"
Reaching up with one hand, I grabbed the band and pulled it out of my hair, shaking it down.
EMPOV
When she shook her hair and it cascaded down on her shoulders, I felt like an animal inside.
Her standing there in my jersey and those cotton shorts, clinging to every curve of her sexy body, she walked over slowly, stopping at my legs moving them apart to be closer to me, she looked down at me, biting on her bottom lip, the one move that sent my over the edge.
BPOV
I know everyone says that the throws are teenage passion never last long, but I really wanted them to be wrong. Having sex with Emmett; was beyond what I ever thought it could be. We had the passion of Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl without the backstabbing, game-playing drama and I hoped that it would stay this way for as long as possible.
"I'm going to take a shower," I said getting up off of the bed, as I walked in the bathroom, I heard muffled noises similar to ones I had just made coming from the bedroom next store.
Walking back to the door, he looked at me, "Would you like to join me?"
He was up and off the bed, throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me into the shower.
I think we had just found our Friday night post game activity!
AN: Paul will be making an appearance in Chapter 8
