Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl stop your talking words just get in the way
I'll be your man
So baby come over from the end of the sofa
I'll be your man,
-I'll Be Your Man: James Blunt
Charlie had to leave after the bride and groom danced because of a work related issue so Emmett was taking me home.
"Thank you for being my date." I smiled.
"It was no problem at all it was a gorgeous wedding." Emmett said as I unlocked the door to the house.
"Indeed." I smiled and noticed Charlie still wasn't home. "I wonder what happen with Charlie."
"There have been a few murders in town while you've been away." Emmett stated.
"By who?" I asked as I kicked off my shoes.
"I don't know I haven't checked out the crime scene, I've been a bit preoccupied." Emmett said.
"Well, can you check it out tonight?" I asked. He agreed and came upstairs with me and waited for me to change in my bedroom. When I came back out of the bathroom I saw that Emmett has his tie and jacket off and a few buttons undone revealing his muscular chest. I on the other hand was dress in an I love NY tee shirt and a pair of short shorts.
"Look at you." Emmett crooned and I walked over to him and played with his collar. He kissed me lightly but the light kiss was full of passion; things were about to get hot and heavy as Emmett was on top of me when his phone started to vibrate in his back pocket. He released my lips and grabbed his phone. He looked at who it was and groaned. "I have to take this." I nodded and he stepped out in the hallway.
"Esme, what's wrong?" I heard his answer and the rest of the conversation I couldn't tell what he was saying because he was talking so fast.
I sat up from my position on the bed and looked at myself in the mirror. As I stared at myself I remembered who Esme truly was to me. Esme was far from my biological mother, Esme had a knack for making someone feel special and welcome. Where Renee on the other hand hadn't called me in weeks maybe even years. Phil took up her time and I was gone from her life so I was merely a dim memory to her. I've tried to contact her but no such luck. Esme on the other hand was a phone call away; she was just a phone call I hadn't made yet. I hadn't made it because I didn't know how Emmett would feel about that.
"Alright Ma, see you later." Emmett said and he walked back in still without a shirt on. His face wasn't too happy.
"Something wrong?" I asked concerned.
"I have to leave tomorrow morning for Alaska." Emmett said.
"Is someone hurt?" I asked worried now.
"Jasper is having a tough time again." Emmett sighed. "With Edward gone, there isn't a big strong person around to hold him down; besides Carlisle I am the next one with more control than my siblings."
I smiled. "That's good to know that you have good control, but I'm sorry about Jasper, I wish I could help."
"You're help enough, knowing that I can come back with a beautiful woman waiting for me." Emmett said.
I blushed. "Do you know how long this will last?" I asked.
"No, but I won't be gone for more than 2 weeks." He said. "I won't allow myself to let you be unprotected for that long."
"You don't need to worry about me; I have the wolves to protect me." I said.
"Well, aside from protection, I need to give you your present early since I won't be able to give it to you tomorrow."
"Aw, I don't need a present, my present can be where we were before your mother called." I smiled and pulled him back down to me and he kissed me then pulled away and smiled but I kissed his smile and then he smiled even bigger.
"I think you'll like this present." Emmett said and grabbed his shirt.
"Will you stop I don't need this present." I said.
"Yes you do, trust me." He laughed and handed me a pair of flip flops. I put on the flip flops ad Emmett helped me into the jeep and handed me a blindfold. "Put that on."
"Where are we going?" I asked. "For all I know you could be kidnapping me to kill me."
"Ow, that hurts; you think I would do that?" He said being sarcastic and I heard his door slam shut and the engine turn on.
"You should know I loathe surprises especially when it calls for me to wear a blindfold." I said.
"Yeah, yeah." He muttered and the jeep came to a stop. "Don't try to get out, wait for me to get you." I heard the door shut and mine open and Emmett's cold hands scooped me up from under me. I heard a door open and then the door shut and it sounded like a glass door open and shut and the Cullen's front door was glass… I could feel climbing stairs and he warned me he was putting me down.
He planted me on my feet. "You ready?" Emmett asked as I felt his cool finger on the blind fold.
"Yes." I gulped and he took it off and I found we were at the room that was empty where the balcony was where our first kiss was. Although the room wasn't empty anymore. It was transformed into a studio. The door had the engraving of Isabella Swan Trish & Company on it. I walked deeper in the room and brushed my hands along the counters and island, I opened the cabinets and there were samples of fabric and glass and tiles. There was a Mac computer on the side counter and it went with the silver and light blue color scheme.
"Emmett." I whispered still in awe and shock.
"You like it?" He asked.
"Like it, I love it, this is the design I've always wanted for my studio." I said. "You peeked in my design book."
He smiled, "The night before you left for New York, when you were asleep I took it and copied the design and had a person come in a have it done."
"Aw, Emmett." I said and tears came down.
He laughed and came to hold me. "I love you." He crooned.
"I love you too Emmett Cullen." I said as he pushed away tears.
"You mean it?" He asked.
"Emmett, I can confidently say that I am in love with you." I said. "You intoxicate me every time I see you, or you kiss me."
"Bella I've been in love with you for a while now, I can't believe my luck that you feel the same way." Emmett said as he pushed other tears away.
We were face to face, nose to nose and his looked into my eyes and pressed his lips to mine. He lifted me up on the island and I wrapped my legs around his waist. Emmett let me come back for air and then he sucked on my lips causing me to moan a little. Emmett gave me another break by kissing up and down my neck. My hands found his cheeks and I pulled his face back to mine. His lips urgently moved against mine which caused me to part mine and his tongue slid into my mouth. His tongue was cool as it rubbed up against mine. His hands traveled around my hips causing me to lean back a little, I wasn't fully down on the island but I would be soon if one of us didn't stop. As we got deeper into the moment Emmett became a little rougher, but he wasn't hurting me. He pulled away will a slight hiss and leaned his forehead against mine and pulling me back into a normal seated position.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away." He said
"No don't apologize, you did nothing wrong; that was hot and amazing."
"I'd have to agree." He smiled and pecked my lips once more.
"Now I won't have to be lonely this week when you're away, while I am on boring conference calls I can sit right here and remember you perfectly." I smiled.
"Good." He smiled, "Oh, I almost forgot." He said and grabbed a set of keys from his pant pocket. There was big silver I key chain with a key that looked like one of those old keys that opened dungeons and castles. It was engraved studio and there was 2 other keys that was labeled house key and that was a normal small silver key and there was a smaller old fashioned key that was engraved Esme's studio.
"There is Esme's key just in case she has something in her own studio that you don't." Emmett said.
"Thank you Emmett this is too much, but thank you." I said.
"Nothing is too much for you Doll." He cooed as we walked back downstairs and I locked the studio door behind me.
Emmett drove me home and Charlie still wasn't home, and we had been gone for a good hour and a half.
"Could you check out the crime and let me know if there are vampires aren't roaming around Forks and check on Charlie?" I asked, "I know it's a lot to ask considering-''
"Hey, it's not too much to ask and I was going to anyway." He said, "I'll come back tonight and let you know before I leave for Alaska in the morning." He kissed my lips and started to leave.
"Thank you." I smiled. "Be safe."
He turned his head and smiled. "No promises." I watched his pull away and he honked the horn as he left.
It was a normal human murder, no vampire involved in that crime according to Emmett. Charlie had come home about 2 hours after Emmett had left for the second time to tell me about the crime scene.
It was Wednesday and I hadn't seen Emmett since last Saturday night. I hadn't talked to him for a week now for all I knew Jasper killed him and the Cullens wouldn't know to contact me because Emmett didn't tell them about me.
As I ate my salad I stared at the island remembering the night he gave me this studio. I had been on 5 conference calls since 8 this morning. It was 1:30 now. I heard the doorbell ring and I hit the intercom by the door and asked who it was.
"Package for Isabella Swan." A gruff voice said.
"I'll be right down." I said and slipped on my shoes. I walked down stairs and it wasn't a UPS man, it was Sam, Emily and Jacob.
"Hey guys." I smiled and let them in. Although it wasn't a total lie, Sam did have a package in his hand and it looked heavy.
"Package for Miss. Swan." Sam smiled as I gave all of them a hug hello/
"Come on in, I'll show you guys the studio." I said and we walked upstairs.
"Esme did a great job designing this house." Jacob said.
I opened the studio and then they gasped as they walked in. "Wow." Sam gaped. "This is so cool."
"You designed this?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah." I said. "I designed it and Emmett made it come true."
"You should design the living room and the Master bedroom." Emily said.
"Already have." I smiled. "I used your house for an assignment in college."
"You sneak." Emily laughed and Jacob went to sit up on the island where Emmett and I were the night before he left and I caught Jacob in midair about to jump on the top.
"Oh no you don't, there are chairs everywhere pick one." I growled and he looked scared and sat in the seat beside the Mac next to my salad.
"Someone is a tad possessive." Jacob muttered.
"I am not." I said and pushed the corner of my eye trying not to cry over not speaking to Emmett.
"Aw Bella, what's wrong?" Emily asked coming to give me a comforting hug.
"I haven't spoken to Emmett in a week and maybe more."
"Aw, that's alright, why don't you call him." Emily suggested.
"I uh, cant he's not telling his family about me because this is the wrong time, there's been a few issues with Jasper that he had to go take care of."
"Well call him tonight when things start to die down." Sam suggested.
"I don't know I might if I have another melt down." I said. "Sorry Jake, that spot is just the last vivid memory I have of Emmett until he comes back."
"It's cool Bells." He said.
"So anything happen while we were on our honey moon?" Emily asked.
"Well, nothing but work, but Emmett and I told each other we loved each other the night before he left."
"Like in love?" Jacob asked. I smiled and nodded
"And when was this?" Emily squealed.
"The night of the wedding." I smiled.
"That is so cute, don't you think Sam?" Emily asked.
"Just adorable." Jacob muttered answering for him.
"Well, can we set something up this week for the house?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, of course I have another conference call in 20 minutes so let me check when I can get you guys in." I said. And sat next to Jacob who was picking at my salad I logged onto the Mac and pulled up my schedule.
"You have to schedule your friends?" Jacob asked offended.
"No, right now they are not my friends they are my clients, I have to schedule my new clients so I can send in my hours and get paid for it." I said and Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Tomorrow works for me." I said, "Around 12 I can order food and we can eat and work."
"Sounds perfect." Emily said and Sam agreed.
"Well, I don't mean to make this short but I do have a conference call with the Boss Lady." I said.
"Of course, just wanted to stop by and say hey and see the studio." Emily smile and gave me hugs goodbye along with Jacob and Sam.
It was 7 at night and I couldn't bear to leave the house that held what was left of Emmett in it. I sat on Emmett's bed with a carton of Chinese takeout and chop sticks in my hand lounging in one of his Vikings jerseys.
I was being silly, I was acting as if Emmett was dead, but then again who knew if he was, Jasper was capable of a lot of things and he was capable of killing Emmett. I drummed my fingers over the keypad of my phone. On his desk I found a picture of something I didn't recognize. I got off the bed and walked over to it and picked it up. It was a picture of Emmett and me at my 18th birthday party. Alice insisted on taking tons of pictures, I forgot I had taken one with Emmett. I brushed my thumb along Emmett's face. I noticed this was what he looked like with brown dark hair. I liked the blonde better personally.
"Come home will you, you're making me crazy, I miss you so damn much Emmett Cullen." I said to his picture. "Come home safe and in one piece."
"I don't know, one piece is pushing it isn't it?" A masculine voice said from behind me. I turned setting the picture down and it was Emmett.
"Emmett." I cried as tears rolled down my face.
"Aw, come here Doll." He said and I ran to him. I ran and he caught me in his arms and held me tight.
"I've missed you so much." I said in his ear as I rested my chin on his shoulder
"I know I've missed you too." He said and put me down. "I see you raided my closet." He smiled.
"You don't know how worried I've been, you didn't call, you didn't email me, you had me start thinking you were never coming back and Jasper had killed you."
"Now do you honestly think I would have allowed that to happen?" He asked with a smirk. I didn't say anything and just gave a shrug. "You should probably be getting home, Charlie is probably worried."
"No, I'll call Charlie and say that you aren't home yet and that I'm piled up in work and that I'm sleeping over here." I said. "I can't bear to leave you any longer then I have."
He sighed with a smile "If you say so." He said and kissed my temple. "Why don't you go call Charlie with your little white lie and I'll go start the water in the shower, you look like you need one."
"You are going to accompany me right?" I smirked.
"Of course, who else is going to get your back?" He smiled.
"I love you." I said and he kissed my lips.
"I love you too." Emmett cooed and he got up to start the shower and I called Charlie and told him what was going on.
I undressed from my dress and Emmett's jersey and I found that Emmett was already in the shower. Emmett saw me come in and the glass shower doors were already fogged up and he opened the door and I stepped in.
I had already seen Emmett's amazing 10 pack but I had never seen him with his pants off and the structure was so built and amazing. He caught me staring and I blushed and he chuckled and I focused my attention on him and not his assets; although I caught him staring my breasts a few times.
He wrapped his arms around my dry body making the spot where he placed his arms wet and he swung me around under the shower head that was in the roof and flowed down. I cringed as the water was hot and it going on my cold skin had that numbing effect. He placed his mouth on mine and his cool tongue was the only cold thing in or on my body.
Water poured over us and as Emmett washed my back as I washed the front of me. Eventually when I was clean we let the water run just to take the chill off, even though for Emmett that wasn't possible. Emmett kissed my neck and I knew I was going to have a hickey tomorrow when I met up with Sam and Emily. Looks like I was going to be wearing chunky jewelry or a turtle neck dress in the middle of summer.
Emmett shut the water off and leaned out to grab a towel for me and a towel for him. I wrapped mine around my body and knotted it by my arm and Emmett knotted it around his waist revealing his pack again.
"You are very impressive and tempting." I smirked as I ran a brush threw my hair.
"I'll have to remember that for later." Emmett smirked.
I changed into Emmett's jersey again and a pair of his sweats. We watched a movie in his room as we lay in bed. It was the middle of the movie and Emmett's constant soothing shapes he traced on my arm that what made me fall asleep.
This may have to be my fave chapter so far. I may just be in love with EMmett right now:) lol. but then again people have their own opinions, so let me hear yours in a review! so review and send the love and a little hate if necessary.
