Chapter 10: The Dance
Emmett looked around the dance searching for Ivy, Alice had a vision that she came but then it had started going backwards and forwards but he insisted in them coming if there was even a chance Ivy would, Emmett watched his siblings dancing, hoping he would be able to be with his mate again he couldn't believe he had screwed this up
Suddenly Bella approached him in some awful pink dress swaying her hips in what she seemed to think was an attractive way but made her look, in Emmett's opinion, like a duck
"Do you want to dance?" She asked batting her eyelashes hopefully
"No"
"I only meant as friends" Bella said
"No, I'm waiting for Ivy" Emmett insisted
"Are you going to stand there all night if she doesn't turn up, just one dance won't hurt" Bella argued
"I will stand here all night if I must" Emmett replied stiffly
oOo
"What is happening?" William whispered as his sister listened to the dance
"Bella asked him to dance" Ivy replied tensing before relaxing slightly "he said no. He said he was waiting for me" Ivy said almost blushing, which was an achievement with her body
"That's good I told you everything would work out" William said "Now are you going to stop hiding?"
"She's asking him why he is wearing that thing" Ivy said in confusion
"What thing?" William asked equally as surprised
"I don't know I can't see" Ivy replied
"Well why is he?"
"He just said because he wants to" Ivy explained
"Helpful" William muttered "No come on get out there"
"You're coming too aren't you?" Ivy asked gripping his sleeve she was too nervous to walk in there alone
"Off course I didn't put the suit on for a laugh" William replied dragging his sister to the doors Ivy took a deep breath as William swung the doors open, suddenly all eyes were on them
oOo
Emmett heard the doors open and then he saw Ivy making her way down the stairs and she was breath-taking, she was wearing a simple emerald dress that floated around her as she moved, it's one strap gave her the impression of a Greek goddess, and many of the others in the crowd openly stared at some had even lost control of their jaws, Emmett felt her eyes lock onto his as she searched the crowd but once they had found his her eyes never strayed she approached him slowly as the crowd parted letting her through
oOo
Ivy felt a little daunted as the crowd let her through she was vaguely aware that William was pushing her forward a bit worried she would chicken out again but she couldn't pull her gaze away from Emmett, she laughed when she realised what 'that thing' was perched on Emmett's left shoulder was the dragon she had gifted to him after her demonstration, he had thought it was amazing and smiled at her in such a way that she had been unable to say no, she felt William move away as she stood in front of Emmett nervously, she wasn't sure how to go about this, she would have used flowers but she hadn't had time to buy any, but Emmett seemed to know what he was doing as he handed her purple hyacinth
Please forgive me
Ivy smiled as she took the flower carefully, and stared at it, pulling her gaze from the flower she moved closer placing her hands on his shoulders, avoiding the dragon of course, and leant forward kissing him, his hands found her waist quickly as he pulled her closer, when they pulled apart aware that the room was watching them and they had to appear human, Ivy looked at him before she whispered
"There is nothing to forgive"
Emmett gave Ivy a blinding smile before pulling out another flower, a forget-me-not, kissing her again he threaded it into her hair just behind her left ear before pulling out of the kiss
True Love
oOo
Bella huffed as she stomped her way over to Jessica
"You shouldn't have bothered trying" Jessica said having watched Bella horrible attempt with Emmett
"Why not" Bella snapped
"He's with Ivy" Jessica replied "You shouldn't have tried to break them up"
"They aren't together anymore" Bella replied she had hope after all, she needed one of them to turn her, to love her, she had hoped for Edward after all he had saved her but she knew he had been with Rosalie for a long time so she kept Emmett's attention too. She had managed to drive Ivy Potter away but Emmett wasn't falling at her feet as he should. Suddenly the doors swung open and there stood Ivy Potter herself followed by a gorgeous guy with piercing green eyes, she made her way over to Emmett, their eyes locked
"There was no doubt; they weren't voted the most adorablist couple for no reason"
"Most adorablist?" Bella sneered "Why them?"
"Can't you see? He is wearing a dragon on his shoulder that isn't something the Cullen family do. Ever. When she saw it her eyes widened and she smiled, it something connected to her, they give each other flowers all the time" Jessica said as Emmett gave her some purple flower "That happened even before they were dating"
The two girls watched along with everyone else as the couple kissed and Ivy whispered something to Emmett causing him to smile so brightly that most of the girls swooned slightly
"I had a chance" Bella insisted practically stomping her foot like toddler
"No you didn't, I may not like the girl but she is perfect for Emmett just seeing them together you can tell" Jessica said as Emmett pulled out another flower and tucked it behind her ear as he kissed her again, with that Jessica left Bella staring at the couple to find Mike Newton
oOo
"So I'm guessing you're the brother" Emmett said as he and Ivy, his arms still firmly wrapped around her waist not wanting to let go anytime soon, approached William who was slowly being surrounded by giggling girls
"Yeah" he replied nervously as four more vampires came towards the group scaring the crowd of girls away much to William's relief
"Relax they won't hurt you" Ivy said with a laugh, the other's joined in glad that Emmett was happy again and that Ivy was back
"Can I ask a question?" he asked finally "What was with the flowers?"
"It's their thing" Edward explained
"When he first spoke to me I had been having a bad day and he handed me a Crocus saying he thought I needed it, a crocus means cheerfulness and it made me laugh and it spiralled from there"
"How did you know that?" William asked surprised he couldn't have told you that
"I went through a stage of being obsessed with the meaning of flowers when I was younger, I thought it might make Lily care for me, it stuck, well I had to look up a couple" Ivy replied sheepishly
"Same" Emmett agreed, smiling into her hair
"I can see why you thought Lily would like that, right Chrysanthemum?" Emmett said with a smirk
"How did you know that?" William shrieked
"I was with Ivy when she wrote the letter" Emmett said as the group laughed
"Hey that's almost as bad as Sweet William" Edward added
"Stupid mind readers" William muttered causing the group to laugh
