A/n: So I feel really bad about not updating sooner, but a lot of stuff happened in my life and not to mention I had the worst case of writers block, so if this chapter sucks I apologize ahead of time
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, just thought I'd mention that cause you know you are supposed to and all and I ALWAYS seem to forget so there it is.
NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
I woke up the next morning still in a state of shock. Did I really have a boyfriend? Did Emmett really just ask me out? I couldn't believe it, there was finally a reason for me to smile ever since Edward started dating Rosalie. I felt like one of those girly girls who get all excited when their current crushes decide to say hello to them. I was never like this before, and I had no idea why I was now.
I was deep in thought when I heard the phone ring. I ran down stairs to answer it.
"Hello Swan Residence." I answered knowing that if it was Charlie calling he would be mad if I answered it any other way.
'Hey Bella, it's Alice."
"Oh hey, what's up?"
"I'm exhausted from last night but Jasper and I were planning a trip to the movies for tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come."
"Sure, it sounds like fun."
"Okay so come over at around 4ish and we will leave from my house."
"Actually it gets kind of cramped in your car so can I meet you there?"
"Of course. I will see you there then, oh and Bella try not to get lost this time."
"I'll try, and I will see you later. Bye."
"Bye." With that I hung up the phone and went to make another call.
I picked up the phone again and called Emmett's cell phone.
After the first ring, he picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey, want to come with me to the movies on something like a triple date tonight?"
"Oh sorry but you missed your chance you see, last night I asked out this amazing girl and I'm not really into the whole cheating thing so you know, I don't think so." He said while laughing the entire.
"Oh well, I guess I will have to find a new guy to go after I mean I don't think I will ever find someone as hot as you to date now."
"Awe, that's so sweet, so Bella what time do you want me to pick you up tonight?"
"I think Alice and them are leaving at like 4:30 so sometime around then I would say."
"Okay, see you then babe." I laughed at his comment, and decided to say something back.
"Buh Bye stud." He hung up the phone while still laughing, and I went to go pick out my outfit for the night. I picked out a really cute skirt that went to mid thigh with layers. I also had a black tank top with hot pink lace around the top. I got in the shower and the let the hot water relax me. (I love it because it's SOO cliched) I let my hair dry naturally in a subtle wave and got dressed. I wasn't one for makeup so all I used was some light pink lip-gloss and waited for Emmett to come pick me up.
It was almost 4:30 when the doorbell rang, and Charlie went to answer it.
"Hello Mr. Swan, how are you today?" asked Emmett being very polite.
"I am good, and how about you Emmett."
"I'm excellent, is Bella ready yet?"
"I think so, come in and I will go see."
"Okay, thank you."
"Bella, Emmett is here for you." I walked into the room and gave Emmett a hug.
"Hello Emmett."
"Hey Bella, ready for our date?"
"Of course, let me just get my purse." I walked into the kitchen and I heard Charlie start the first date lecture that is taught in Parenting 101. He talked about how Emmett shouldn't think of me as a toy but more like a precious treasure that needs to be taken care of. Then he went into the speech about safe driving and how since he was the chief of police, Emmett had to be extra careful. I could practically feel Emmett being embarrassed so I decided to swoop in and save him, in a figurative way of course.
"Ready to go Emmett, we don't want to be late for the movie."
"That we don't good bye Mr. Swan, I assure you I will get Bella home safe and sound."
"I am holding you to that promise." With that he gave me a hug and said goodbye. We reached Emmett's car and he held the door open for me as I got in and shut it behind me and then walked around to the driver's side and got in. The entire ride to Port Angeles I was thinking of what Edward's reaction would be. Would he be happy that I found someone even though it wasn't him? Would he be upset that I didn't tell him before hand? Would he already know, I mean this is a small town and word of relationships travel around extremely fast? Would he even care, now that I had Emmett he might not feel the need to hang out with me because I have someone else to now? Would he at least accept the fact that I was happy, even though it wasn't with him? Time could only tell, and before I knew it we were pulling into the parking lot of the movie theatre.
We walked to the ticket box and Emmett paid for our tickets. Inside Alice, Jasper, Edward and Rosalie were waiting for me, I don't think I told them about Emmett coming because Edward's jaw looked it became disconnected and Alice's eyes lit up like nothing I have ever seen, and Rosalie looked even angrier as soon as they spotted us.
"Hey you guys, I just wanted to let you know that Emmett will probably be coming with us on these trips from now on because⦠well we are dating."
"Oh congratulations you guys, you make such a cute couple, I knew you two were going to start dating, I mean once you know who was off the market it was about time you found someone, and Emmett is definitely a catch."
"Um, excuse me but I am right here." Said Emmett
"Oh right sorry, so welcome to our movie dates, Jasper is going to call the restaurant for reservations, so Bella are you coming to dinner or would you and Emmett rather walk around?"
"Well Bella if it's alright with you I'd like to go to the restaurant with them." Emmett said, answering the question that was meant for me.
"Okay, so Jasper make a reservation for six, not let's go get some seats."
We walked into the movie theater and found six seats in a row and we all sat down, I of course sat next to Emmett and Edward, oh what luck, I muttered beneath my breath. A few minutes into it I realized what exactly the movie was about and I couldn't stand watching it. It was about a girl who's best friend in the entire world, who happened to be a guy, was dying of cancer and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. It got me thinking to what I would be like if Edward was in that position and what a wreck I would be. I couldn't even think about it without having my eyes water, so I leaned on to Emmett's shoulder and started bawling my eyes out. I could have sworn I saw Edward glance in my direction several times and each time he would do so it became worse. Why was I getting like this? I mean I had Emmett now shouldn't I be able to pry myself at least a little bit away from Edward. It's not like he would see me as anything more than a friend, he had Rosalie and she was probably all he would ever need.
The movie ended with the worst ending in cinema history yet. The girl's best friend died and then she met a mysterious stranger who she fell in love with and he made her forget all about her best friend, it made me so angry. Hollywood really had no idea what real life is like, because there is no way any one will ever be able to get over someone's death in that short amount of time if they were really as close as they were made out to be. If that happened in real life the girl would probably never talk to anyone again and she wouldn't forget all about her best friend because a mysterious stranger came into her life.
I guess I got lost in thought because the next thing I knew Emmett was tapping my shoulder saying my name over and over again. I shook my head and blinked a few times and came back into the real world.
"So you ready for dinner Bella?" Emmett said sounding really sweet.
"Yep, as ready as I will ever be."
"Okay lets go then," Alice said practically skipping down the sidewalk with Jasper in tow, while the four of us that remained walked behind and made jokes at how ridiculous the movie was. Emmett seemed to be a hit with Edward and Rosalie and before I knew it we were at the restaurant.
I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I turned around and it was Edward.
"Um Bella, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked.
"Of course," and then I turned to Emmett. "Emmett, you and Rosalie go inside and we will come in in a few okay."
"Okay, see you inside," with that they left us and I turned back to Emmett, " So what do you want to talk about?"
"So when did you and Emmett start dating?"
"Last night, he asked me while we were at the dance after you left."
"Oh I see okay, are you sure he's a good guy?"
"What do you mean?"
"All I am saying is you haven't really known him for that long, how do you know he isn't just putting up a front and he's going to do something to hurt you later down the line."
"I don't think he will, I mean we do know each other a lot and we talked all the time before we started dating, but I mean it's a risk I am willing to take."
"Do you think you are going to fall in love with him?" When he asked that question his eyes seemed to get sad for a split second and then he was serious again.
"I don't know, I mean I never really thought about it, he is my first boyfriend after all, and who's to say he's not the one I meant to be. After all I do believe in soul mates, and while I used to think I knew who it was, I might have been wrong. Or Emmett may be the guy I am supposed to date while the guy of my dreams finds out I am the girl of his. You know, I am new at this so I am just going with the flow for right now."
"Well I am going to press you for further information about who you thought it was later but for right now I just want you to be happy because that's all that matters right?"
"Oh, thank you Edward, that really means a lot to me."
"Anytime, but don't think I will forget about the guy you wanted to be with before, but I swear to you if you say Newton there will be a fight."
"Well I can't always help who I fall in love with." I said sarcastically.
"Oh really, and what is it about Newton that makes you swoon?"
"Well, I think at first it was his incredibly attractive blonde hair and absolutely no muscles. But then it was his obnoxious personality and the fact that he reminds me of a puppy dog who hasn't been fed by his owner in like a week."
"Well those are some pretty good qualities to look for but you know what, I still can't see past the fact that in third grade he beat me in the spelling bee."
"Well that's his best quality, the fact that he beat the almighty Edward Mason at something."
"Well you know what he hasn't beaten me at yet?"
"What would that be?"
"This," he said as he ran towards me and started tickling me in my ticklish spot right on my sides. After a while we were both out of breath from laughing so hard and we decided it was time to get back to our dates, who unfortunately weren't each other.
A/N: I hope you like it, I am sorry yet again for making you wait so long, don't worry the next chapter wont take nearly as long to update. Please review I am aiming to get 200 sometime soon/
