Chapter Ten: Emmett

Bella's POV

Edward was still in complete shock when we reached his house. In fact he hadn't said anything since I let him in on Shane's orientation. It was quite amusing to watch him dumbfounded like that.

"Edward, you mind if I use the bathroom?" I asked, while he stared out into space, probably reeling in all that he had found out this afternoon.

He shook his head and looked down at me. "Oh, yeah. Of course, you don't need to ask you know."

"Well it's kind of hard when a very strong vampire has his arms wrapped around me pretty tight."

He let go and smiled. "I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why I didn't see it in him before."

I laughed. "I know. You told me, hmm, about a million times today."

He joined in with my laughter and I walked swiftly to the bathroom.

When I returned I was surprised to see Rosalie and Emmett sitting cross legged across from Edward on the opposite couch.

"Hello Rosalie, Emmett." I said cheerfully, taking a seat in Edward's lap again.

"Hey Bella." Rosalie said in the same jittery voice.

Emmett stared blankly out at Edward, who was staring blankly out at him also.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Rosalie.

She rolled her eyes. "Something happened with Emmett today. I don't know. He didn't want to tell me."

I shrugged my shoulders and leaned into Edward's chest once again.

"I don't understand." Edward said, shifting his gaze from Emmett to the floor.

I sighed. "You're never going to let this go, are you?" I asked, rather irritated by this point.

He looked down at me and forced a fake smile. "But Bella, I—"

I shushed him and stood. "I've heard this time and time again, Edward Cullen. And I've had it up to here. Stop thinking about Shane and start flapping those luscious lips to the rhythm of you telling me about what I should be worried about."

He looked up at me, confused written clearly across his glorious face.

"Don't play dumb, Edward. C'mon, tell me why I should be so worried about the feelings I told you about the other day." I said, childishly.

A smile appeared on his lips then, making me smile in return. "I'm sorry, Love. I know, I've been rude in taking up our precious time together, to think about something that I know I couldn't have figured out on my own. How about we talk about this over—"

Emmett stood; arms over his chest with a menacing look on his face. "I can't believe him." He screamed.

Edward pushed me off his lap and stood next to him, pushing his brother out of the room.

"I'll be back." He winked.

I blushed and looked back at Rosalie, who was staring at me with amusement in her beautiful light topaz colored eyes.

"He really love's you, Bella."

I smiled. "I figured he did."

She laughed and walked over to take a seat next to me. "He would do anything for you."

"I would do anything for him."

She relaxed and pushed her hair back. "Alice says that's he'll most likely—"

"Shut up, Rosalie!" Edward hollered from a room, not so close to the one we were in.

She put her hands up in the air, signaling defeat and stood. "I guess he'll tell you."

"That's right!" He yelled louder.

"I guess that's my sign to leave."

She stood and walked out of the room.

"I'll see you, Rose." I yelled as she disappeared.

"I'll see you, Bella." She yelled back.

Edward chose that moment to walk in with Emmett trailing behind him with his head down to the ground, mumbling soft curses' to no one in particular.

"Bella, we need to talk." He said sternly before taking a seat next to me.

Emmett followed but chose the seat opposite me.

"It seems Emmett had a little encounter with Shane today."

I stifled a laugh and looked at Emmett, who was staring angrily at me.

"Hey, don't blame, Bella. She wasn't in charge of letting us all know that he was gay." Edward said, angrily.

"I'm sorry, Bella." He mumbled.

"It's alright. So what happened with you?"

Emmett looked up at Edward and growled.

"Oh C'mon Emmett. It's not like anything happened."

I looked at Edward and the look on his face gave away that he wanted to bust out laughing, which made my task in trying to hide my laugh, very noticeable to the boys sitting beside me.

"Okay, but this can't be repeated to anyone. You hear me?" He yelled, pointing all anger in the sentence towards me, for some reason.

"Go on." I insisted.

He sighed and looked at the ground.

"I came into gym and there was a new guy the coach assigned me to, Shane Duffet."

I nodded.

"To make a long story short, he did things that weren't appropriate for guys to be doing to other guys."

The laughter, the unbearable laughter seeped through my lips and a flood of loud Bella laughs echoed off the walls, tumbling off of Emmett, who's anger was now fiercer then ever.

Edward coughed and I stopped.

"You better tell you're little friend, to leave me alone!" Emmett screamed, while storming out of the room and eventually slamming the door loud enough to make me jump.

Edward stood, and I followed. "I'm sorry, Edward. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings."

He grinned the crooked grin that still brought my heart a blaze. "Don't worry about it. You didn't hurt his feelings. He's just mad that someone of the same sex sees him that way."

"Oh, okay. Just as long as I didn't hurt his feelings."

"You didn't, so stop fussing about it. Let's get you home."

"What about tonight?" I asked.

He picked me up and kissed me on the lips. "I'll pick you up later. Charlie's going to be okay with it, so don't worry about having to make up some phony lie."

I was still in complete daze while he spoke, making me miss everything he just said. When he saw the confusion on my face he laughed his melodic laugh and ran me to his car.

"I'll be back around nine, Dad." I yelled from the open doorway.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll leave the lights on. Have a good time." He said instinctively, all the while not taking his eyes off the television.

"Championships are important. Don't get mad at him." Edward said from the darkness of my front lawn.

I smiled and walked over to him. "I'm not mad at him."

We reached his car and he opened the door up for me. "I know."

The drive was silent for a few minutes before Edward chose to break it.

"You look so beautiful, Bella."

I blushed crimson red and looked down at my wardrobe. "Why thank you. You don't look too bad yourself."

What I had on was thanks to one of Alice's fashion emergency shopping trips. She and I had gotten into an argument while on the trip, making her buy more things for me in the end. It was a nice day all in all except for the over sized bill that was stuffed neatly into her Chanel wallet.

The white skirt I had on ended just above my knees, showing enough skin. It had baby blue polka dots at the bottom, with a funky baby blue line stretching from the bottom of the skirt swirling to the top, meeting with one of my belt buckles. The matching baby blue top was off the shoulder.

I also had a silver choker chain with a small baby blue heart that Edward had gotten me to go with the outfit. I was eyeing it for a while before he noticed and ended up buying it for me the next day. I also had on baby blue hoops, big enough to go around my wrist.

My hair was cascading down my back in little curls, that I had done myself. I was most proud of my hair, just because I didn't get any help from Alice or Rosalie.

Edward nodded and continued to drive to an unknown destination.

After about twenty minutes I began to get bored.

"Are we there yet?" I asked.

Edward looked down at me and smiled. "About five more seconds."

And with that he stopped in the middle of no where.

I had to admit I was a bit scared with the fact that there was absolutely no lights within a football field distance and the sound the trees were making from the wind didn't suit me well.

"Don't worry, Bella. I'll protect you. Plus, my surprise is just north of here. About a minute's walking distance."

I hated the word choice.

Surprise.

I told him I hated surprises for this reason.

When we finished walking the sight in front of me made me want to faint, pass out, die of pure and utter astonishment.

There was a small picnic basket on a very large white blanket, covered in red and pink rose petals. Around the blanket were millions of miniature candles, all lit and sparkling in the moon's glistening rays. Around the candles were about a hundred dozens of freshly picked chrysanthemum's, laid out neatly around the candles. It was so beautiful; I was left speechless, without anything to say.

"You like it?" He whispered into my ear as he wrapped his cold arms around my waist.

I nodded, still in bewilderment. "I love it." I exclaimed, jumping out of his grasp and running over to the layout in front of me.

I carefully walked over the candles and flowers and lay down on the white blanket.

"It's so soft." I whispered, when he came to sit next to me.

He brushed some hair from my face and smiled down at me. "Would you like something to eat?"

I nodded and sat up.

I watched as he reached for the basket and took out all of its contents in a blink of an eye.

All of the foods laid out in front of me were foods of my liking. All of them I mentioned numerous times or mentioned only once in conversations forgotten to any normal human being. It made my eyes well with joyous tears.

He wiped one of the tears just before it slid down my cheek. "Do not cry, my Love. All of this is for you."

I smiled and kissed him. "I love you." I whispered into his chest after we parted.

He combed through my hair and hummed my lullaby for me. After about half an hour I looked up at him and smiled.

"So are you going to tell me now, when the moment seems the most perfect?"

He laughed and sat up. In a blink of an eye he ran off and came back with a small rectangular box in his hand.

He knelt down beside me when I stood and kissed my hand.

The tears were now flowing freely down my cheeks now, making it impossible for me to see my Edward in this perfect moment.

"Isabella Marie Swan?" He asked.

"Yes?" I choked.

"I want you forever, for eternity, till the world finally damns us to another world. I want you to myself, to see to your every desire, to kneel to your every limb. I want you to call me your husband, your mate, your life. I want you for my wife, Bella."

I clamped my hands over my mouth and nodded till my head started spinning.

"Forever! Forever!" I screamed as I grabbed him into a huge human hug.

He hugged me back and released me after a while.

He opened the box and revealed a shiny diamond bracelet.

"Bracelet?" I asked, through silent sobs.

He nodded. "It is vampire custom for the bracelet to come first then the ring."

"Interesting." I countered.

"We are not human, Bella. Thus we do not have the same marriage customs as them."

I nodded.

"I don't want to know how much it costs." I mumbled, kneeling onto the blanket and making myself a plate of my most favorite foods.

"No you don't" I mumbled back, taking my hand and serving me himself.

I smiled and let him do what he wanted. I was too in shock at what I had just witnessed to let anything pass me by.

He handed me the plate and watched me chow down on the foods.

After I was finished I stifled a burp and put my plate down.

"That was so amazing." I said, laying onto the blanket and yawning.

Edward smiled and lay down next to me.

I looked over at him. "Edward, when you said forever, were you implying that you will change me, soon?"

He nodded.

"I knew it."

He leaned in and kissed me tenderly on the lips.

"I just don't understand why I had to hear those feelings you felt for me to change my mind about the whole thing."

"You seem to be misunderstanding a lot of things lately." I whispered, as he pulled me into his chest.

He laughed his musical melodic laugh and kissed me on the forehead.

"It seems that way, doesn't it?"

I nodded.

Just then my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I peeled myself off of Edward's chest and unwillingly answered it.

A screaming Shane met me on the other line.

"You would never believe who I saw today! Where were you! I've been trying to call you for hours! He's one of Edward's brothers! I can't believe it! I can tell he's gay! Will you intro us! Bella! Bella please, do this for me! I just know he wants me!"

Edward was now laughing hysterically to the side of me by now.

I couldn't help but join him.

Sorry again, for taking so long on this chapter.
