APOV
He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. "You don't have to worry about me and Rosalie getting back together."
Chapter 8.
APOV
We kept on walking down the beach. The moon was full and the way the light made the water shimmer was amazing. Sometimes, I found myself thinking about all that has happened in the last few weeks that I've been here. It seemed like a dream and I'd wake up in my bed in England or on the plane over here.
When we were walking back we saw the calm glow of the campfire. "I really don't want to go back" Emmett stopped and held me in his arms. He rested his cheek on mine.
He broke the silence by clearing his throat. "Promise me you'll go on a date with me when you get back?" He was acting strange as he stared back at the campfire.
"I promise. Let's go back. I really wanted to hear the ending to that story." He held onto my waist as we walked slowly. The clouds rolled at water hit my cheek. "Damn it!" Jacob said he checked the forecast.
We ran back to the campfire as everyone ran around gathering their things and loading them into the truck. Bella helped me with my tent as Edward and Emmett helped Charlie with the coolers. Jacob had to help us because we weren't the best with tents. We were soaking wet by the time we got everything in the car.
"You're coming with us." Bella grabbed me as I was getting into the truck. I hopped into the back and slid on the leather into Emmett. "If you wanted to sit on my lap that much you could have just asked." He laughed grabbing a beach towel from underneath the seat and wrapping it around me. I couldn't help but blush when his hand touched my shoulder.
The car started and Edward demanded we wore seat belts. I looked up at Emmett as water dripped off his curls. His shirt clung to his body. The sight of his glorious muscles didn't make me regret the rain, even if it did ruin my camping trip. He caught me looking at him and flashed a conceited smile.
"We'll drop you two off so you can change then we'll pick you up." Edward spoke to Bella and me. I was still caught in my daydream of Emmett's rock hard body. "Aurora, is that okay?" I snapped out of it and Bella was speaking to me. I nodded as she laughed.
"Where are we going?" I stood in the doorway of Bella's room. "Out, of course." She replied.
As I headed up to my room I heard the house phone ring. I sprinted down to answer it. It was Charlie calling to tell us that they were staying at the Black's house for the night. Bella was THRILLED to hear the news. That meant we could come home whenever we wanted, not like we came home at normal hours anyway.
I peeled off the wet clothes and tossed them into a basket near the door. I took a towel off the hook on my closet door and dried off the rest of my body. I opened my draws and looked for something to wear.
"Where are we going exactly?" I yelled out the door down to Bella but I got no response. I rummaged for something that wasn't so "Hey look at me!" but more like "I look so good you can't look at someone else." It was hard to tell here. The style was so different compared to London. I could go out in my knickers and no one would say anything.
I finally picked something out. I put on shorts and a tee for now; I still had to get ready. So I laid out a pair of pale jeans, a blue shirt and a black hoodie shrug.
I sat on the floor and at looked into the mirror that rested against the wall with my many hair products and other beauty essentials scattered in front of it. I brushed my face lightly with blush and put on fresh eyeliner. I pursed my lips together after putting some lip-gloss on and got dressed.
Bella yelled up to me when the boys got to the house. I flipped the hood up and ran out the door. They brought Emmett's Jeep with them as well. They probably did it to get alone time, typical. I must admit Bella and Edward have had Emmett and me as their tag-a-longs a lot lately.
I looked up through the open door of the Jeep. "Lemme help you in." Emmett came around and gave me a hand getting into his off-road monster of a car. I never went in a Jeep before and the height was a new thing for me. I was used to small cars and other automobiles of that kind. I was still getting used to my mother's large SUV and Bella's Ford.
"This is my pride and joy." Emmett tapped the dashboard. He mentioned something about the work he put into it and how he got the off-road deluxe premium tires, or something of that nature.
"Emmett, I'm going to be honest with you." He was driving. "I don't know anything about cars. This is my first time in a Jeep." His face was contorted with confusion. "And to be completely honest, cars scare the bloody hell out of me." He rubbed my thigh and laughed. "I'm serious."
"You are so adorable. There is nothing to be afraid of while you're with me." His smile was reassuring. "I won't talk about cars with you. I promise. How about we talk about you. I'd love to know more about you." I was stunned. Then again, Emmett was genuinely a nice guy, even when he's intoxicated. "Want to play the question game? It's like 21 questions but we alternate."
I shrugged my shoulders. "You can ask first." I gave him a shot at going first.
"Okay, well. What's your favorite subject in school?"
"Well, I guess math. It's the same thing everywhere."
"Oh, that's cool." He probably thought it was dorky. "You're turn."
"Where are we going?" I was still clueless. Bella didn't tell me so it wouldn't hurt to get it out of Emmett.
"We are following Edward. He said I wasn't allowed to say. Even if you threatened my life." I huffed and flipped my hood up. "Are you mad now?"
"Oui.(Yes)"
"I failed French."
"Je peux le parler. (I can speak it)"
"Why are you mad? In English."
"Parce que, Nul personne a dit où nous irons! (Because, no one told me where we will be going!)"
"Whatever." He turned up the music. I leaned up against the window and watched the rain trickle down. "You might not want to lean against the door. It's detachable and it can fall off if you keep putting enough pressure on it."
I had this bad feeling in my stomach. "Emmett," I lowered the music to speak to him, "I'm sorry for yelling at you, in French. I just hate when I don't know where I am going."
"I would never lead you anywhere that would hurt you." He put his hand on mine. Some how our little question games always had some odd affect on our relationship or whatever you would call it.
We pulled into a parking lot. We were at a club. "We can't get into there." He smiled and winked.
"Just stay close to me." He held my hand and led me through the velvet ropes and past the bouncers. "We know the owners."
"Aro and Marcus are in from Italy." Edward yelled to Emmett over the music.
"We'll be right back, stay safe." Emmett and Edward went into a back room. Bella grabbed my hand and dragged me to the dance floor.
The music was fast and everyone on the dance floor moved to the beat as the strobe light made their fluid motions look robotic. I closed my eyes as I let the music fill my body. Hands slipped around my waist, their familiar gentleness put me at ease. "Come with me." Emmett's voice whispered.
Edward and Bella walked ahead of us through silk curtains and down a long hall. "Bonjourno!" A slender Italian man stood up presenting his hand to me. "When you said girlfriend, I thought you meant Rosalie but who is this?"
I hesitated. Emmett called me his girlfriend and this man knew Rosalie. "I'm Aurora, sir." He rested his hands on my shoulders and kissed my cheek. I was in total shock. I am British. We don't kiss cheeks of strangers. "She's adorable. Imma so glad you finally got rid of that, um, putana." He walked back to his seat next to another slender, presumably, Italian man. "I am Aro and this," he gave a firm shake to the man, "this is Marcus. Come sit!"
"Cokes for the kiddies." He snapped his fingers to a waitress. "So, Bella, you treating my Edward good, mhm?" Bella laughed a little. "Oh course Aro."
"Where in England are you from?" Marcus asked. He had a softer voice compared to Aro's. I hesitated to answer. Perhaps he had a different view of Rosalie than his comrade.
"London, sir." Large bellowing laughs came from Bella, Aro and Edward. Marcus turned to Emmett, "Where did you find this gorgeous princess?"
"He found her at my house." Bella laughed as she interjected. "She's the new sister I was telling you about last time you visited."
Our cokes came before it could get awkward. "Boys, when are you going to work for me, huh?"
"You know we can't." Edward said softly.
"Nonsense. You can be da brains and Emmett, well he'll be da muscle." Emmett found Aro's comments captivatingly hysterical but Edward wasn't so enthralled with laughter by it.
We exchanged jokes and witty remarks. It was nice talking to them. Marcus had been to many of my favorite places in England and Aro was just as well acquainted with Europe as I was. A few girls came back to sit with the men and a few gave admiring glances at Edward and Emmett. It was certainly a fun night.
"Want to dance?" Emmett sensed the tension; I wondered if it was the glares they were giving me or the glares I was giving them. The dance floor was packed, which wasn't a surprise. Emmett's dancing was just as memorizing as his kisses. His body rocked with mine. His hands rested on my back as his eyes looked into mine. It was one of those moments in the movies where all the people disappeared and it was just the couple on the dance floor, lost in each other's gaze. A few songs went by before the people reappeared. Sadly it was because some jerk wanted to dance with me. If he only knew I was sixteen, he probably wouldn't have cut in. Emmett didn't let him get very far into the song because the second the bastard put his hands on me, we went back into V.I.P.
It was one in the morning. We were still laughing and drinking our coke even if I wanted a nice cold cocktail or something. Thankfully the trollops left. More jokes were made and more attempts were made to get the boys to work for Aro and Marcus. "What do you two do exactly?" Bella looked at me wide-eyed. Aro and Marcus looked at each other. Maybe I wasn't supposed to ask that.
"We own clubs and other business ventures of that sort." Aro answered. I yawned as Marcus was talking under his breath to Aro. "Aw, she looks so tired. Why don't yous get goin'. We'll call you tomorrow for a little meeting. Maybe some golf?" Marcus kept an eye one me as he spoke.
They shook our hands as we left. I rested my head against Emmett's shoulder. The club was clearing out. "What time is it?" I muttered. "Looks like it's three." Time flies when you're laughing at corny jokes made by men with thick Italian accents.
My body was so tired that Emmett picked me up and put me into his Jeep. "Alright I'll see you there." I heard Emmett yell to Edward then Emmett got into the car. I could feel his eyes on me so I looked up. He was smiling ear to ear as he started up the car. "What's so funny?" He put the car in drive and kissed my forehead. "You."
It was silent until I heard the driveway under the large whatever special tires were on his damn Jeep. I sluggishly reached around my bag for my keys. It took me a while seeing I only had lip-gloss, a wallet and my keys in my tiny purse. After a seven-minute rummage, I had them in my hands.
Being the gentlemen that Emmett was, he walked me to the door and made sure I got in. Bella wasn't home yet. I didn't mind as Emmett's lips grazed mine. "Do you want to stay, at least till Bells gets home?"
"Sure, if it will make you happy." He sat down on the couch pulling me into his lap. "I hope tonight wasn't so boring."
"It was interesting. What do they do exactly?"
"They are mafia. Don't tell them I told you." So clichéd.
"How do you know them?" I was confused because Cullen wasn't an Italian name.
"My dad used to be their lawyer and Carlisle knew them through my dad. They were kind of like family, I've know them my entire life. So when my dad and mom died they were very helpful. Kind of acted like a couple of godfathers to me. So Edward and I keep in touch with them."
I was sort of skeptical. They wanted the boys to work for them. What kind of work was it? I hoped it wasn't killing or beating people for money. I would have died if that were it.
"Aurora," He traced my lips with his fingers, "You have nothing to worry about. I don't want to work for them." He was so much more than the dumb football player. I could list the things I knew about him on one hand.
EmPOV
Aurora's lips had that comforting warmth and softness. "Don't fall to fast." I thought to myself. I wanted it to go slow and steady. I really wanted it to work.
We weren't like Edward and Bella, well to be honest, nobody was. They were so in love, the world could go to war and their belief and ways of life could tear them apart but they'd still be madly in love. I've watched them closely, I've learned a lot about what real love is like.
Aurora's yawn brought my attention back to her. "I ought to go to bed." She whispered as her body lifted off mine. "Do you want help?" I sprang up to catch her swaying body.
I supported her body as she walked up to her room. She leaned on the doorway. "Since I've been here you've showed me fun I've never experienced. I'd invite you into my room but you're old fashion." She smiled. Her sleepy blue eyes were locked on me. She moved forward on her tiptoes and kissed me. After she closed the door I let myself out.
