EmPOV
As I climbed the stairs up to Rose's dorm, I was practically spazzing. The excitement couldn't be terminated. I found myself more eager to go on a date with Rosalie, than watching football. Whoa, can't believe I just said that.
I didn't want this date to be normal. Like dinner and a movie. I wanted it to fun. Something she'll enjoy and never forget. So I had made a few calls, and planned something super crazy, but kinda romantic too.
As I passed yet another garden on my way towards the final door, I realized that I should appear to be a gentleman. So, I stooped down and picked a few daisies from the garden. Grinning, I thought, bet Eddie didn't think of this. Emmett scores again!
I continued my way towards the door and took off running as I hit another landing. I received many wolf whistles and weird looks from several girls.
"Get out of my way, you fruitcakes! I'm a man on a mission!" I screamed and knocked some tiny chick down a couple flights of stairs. I turned around to apologize, but realized it was Monica.
"ARGH! I SWEAR YOU'RE RELATED TO ANGELA! BUNCH OF BULLDOZERS!" She shrieked as she rubbed the football sized bruise on the side of her face.
"We may be distantly related, although that does not concern you. And for the record, I believe it's CEMENT MIXER!" I yelled back before resuming running up the stairs.
"Hey stud! How about I become your mission?" Lauren giggled as I walked by her.
What is with these chicks? Can't they see I'm BUSY!
"You can become my mission when I get on a space ship and send you to Mars to hang out with a herd of elk. How's that?" I snapped.
God! Next time I come up here, I'm gonna bring a bucket of mashed potatoes and pelt them at whoever's in my way. MMM. I love mashed potatoes!
"Fine then. I'll be sure to come that day you do go to Mars." Lauren grinned.
I ignored her last comment. How dumb can you get?
I finally reached the door and yanked it open in hurry, accidentally knocking down a tall girl's books.
"Can't I catch a break?" I muttered angrily as I stooped to help her pick them up.
I regained my composure and walked calmly towards Rosalie's door.
I knocked twice, before she opened the door, stunning me with her beauty.
Rose wore a red dress that flowed around her knees, with a black belt. Her long legs looked graceful as she wore black pumps.
"I was beginning to wonder where you were." She smirked. "But then I saw this huge guy knock down Monica and then yell at Lauren, I knew it wouldn't be long before you graced me with your presence."
"Nice opener." I said.
"Gotta make an impression. You look very nice, by the way." Rose smiled.
"I could say the same about you, but that would the understatement of the century. Actually, that would be saying Britney Spears is normal. But you catch my drift." I replied. "You look absolutely… bewitching. There that works."
She laughed. "I suppose I should grab my broom and crinkle my nose?"
"Nah. You'll be fine in my car. These are for you by the way." I handed her the daisies. I was shocked to realized that you could still see the roots and some dirt surrounding them. My eyes widened in embarrassment.
"Well…. Thank you, Bob. That's very sweet." She uncertainly as she took the semi-warped bouquet.
"Yeah, uh… sorry, I didn't … realize…." I stammered.
"That's okay. At least you brought me flowers. It's the thought that counts." Rose invited me in, as she placed the bouquet in a small vase on her dresser.
"There. They look beautiful don't they? Hold on, let me grab my wrap." She said.
"Uh, Rose. You don't need to bring a wrap. We'll be eating when we get there."
Rosalie burst out laughing. "Wrap, as in my shawl. Did you think I was talking about a tortilla wrap?"
My cheeks pinked slightly. "Uh, of course not. I knew what you meant… But you won't need it. If you get cold, you can just cuddle up close to me. I have been known to be quite the teddy bear."
Rose giggled as she grabbed a black wrap. WRAP? Like what next, you're going to call a shoe, a piece of toast?
I held my arm out, and she placed her hand on the inside of my elbow as I lead her down the stairs towards the car.
Half way down, we had the luck of a grizzly bear during hunting season, as we noticed Lauren heading in our direction.
"Oh, stud. I already told you I could be your mission. How bout you ditch her and we can go make some fireworks?" Lauren tried to say seductively.
Rosalie turned faintly red, and I suddenly felt angry and protective. How dare she talk to my Rose like that?
"I wouldn't even date you if you were the last girl on earth. What, did someone puck in your hair? Why don't you go eat some more pens and fruitcake before I ship you off to Mars, you freakin elk!" I said angrily.
Lauren's smirk faded and she turned to glare at Rose. "Oh, Rose. You always pick the good ones. But I know he'll be going the same way as Royce. Ta ta." She waved.
Rose's expression turned stony and I wrapped my arms around her as I kissed her temple. "Don't worry about her. I'm not going anywhere."
She sighed as we began walking towards my uncle's Mercedes.
"Um, who's Royce?" I asked quietly.
Rosalie heaved a sigh and said, "I dated Royce King for about 7 months before he dumped me for Lauren. He doesn't live here anymore, he went back to New York. But let's not talk about that…"
I couldn't believe that someone would dump Rose for Lauren. Not sure if it'd come out right, but I knew I had to say something.
"I'm so sorry… But for the record, I think he's the most idiotic person ever, to let you go. And he's a dickweed if he ever hurt you that much. But all I can say is that I'm glad he did. And I don't mean that I'm glad he hurt you. Of course not. It's just now I get to have the most gorgeous and amazing girl in the world." I said with as much sincerity as I could muster.
I saw tears well up in her eyes, and mentally swore at myself for making her cry.
"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. I'm glad too that he left. Because now I've got you." She replied.
There was nothing left to say, so I helped her into the car.
As I started the engine, Rose said, "Nice car. Is it yours?"
"I wish." I muttered. "I drive a red jeep. This is my uncle's. I had to drive it while mine was in the, um, shop. Getting new wheels."
"Oh cool. What kind?" She asked, clearly interested.
We spent the rest of the ride there talking about cars. It amazed me how much she knew, and that only increased my attraction for her. Most of the time, I just sat there, staring at her, dazed by her beauty. I nodded my head and smiled at all the right moments, but all I could think about was wanting to kiss her.
As I stopped at a red light, I leaned over and captured her lips with mine. She was surprised, because it took her a second to respond, but as she did, I gave a small moan. Her soft warm lips moved with mine and we would have been totally making out, had some moron not beeped the horn, interrupting us.
"IT'S A GREEN LIGHT, MY FRIEND! GET A MOVE ON!" The irritated driver screamed.
"I'm working on it, you fish face!" I yelled back.
I began driving again, and suddenly I felt Rose's hand on my knee.
"Would you mind telling me where we're going?" She inquired.
"Yes I would mind. You will find out when we get there."
"OOH! A surprise! I love surprises! But, wait. Am I overdressed?" She said.
"Not at all."
We drove for another couple of minutes, talking about our plans for the future. Rosalie surprised me when she said she wanted to go to Seattle University. I had planned on going there, and it seemed like it got so much better knowing that she'd be there too.
As I noticed the sign of our destination, I squirmed uncomfortably hoping she wouldn't see.
I snuck a glance at her, and was relieved to see that she was checking her makeup.
I turned left and pulled into the parking lot, alerting the gorgeous woman sitting next to me that we had arrived.
"We're he-"
"OHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD!" She screamed.
I let her get all the giddiness out of her system.
"I can't believe it, Bob! A carnival! This is amazing! I've never been to a carnival before!"
"You haven't?" I asked flabbergasted.
"No." Rose pouted. "I'd always wanted to, but for some reason, I never did. But oh well! At least I get to experience this with you!"
She squealed as she exited the car faster than Alice on her best days. I knew instantly that Rosalie and Alice would be best friends once they actually met.
I walked over to her side of the car and grabbed her hand as we walked towards the ticket booth.
Rose took off running, and stopped under the ticket sales sign.
As I approached her, I noticed the gangly 15-year-old worker staring at her.
"Ahem. Yes, I'll have 1000 tickets please." I said.
"1000!?" Rose and the teen gasped.
"OF course, babe. It's your first time here, so we might as well make it worth your while."
Rose smirked evilly and winked. "I'll be worth you're while."
I blushed and paid the ugly guy 250$.
"Bob, I can't believe you just spent 250$ on tickets. At least, let me pay for half." She reached into her purse.
"Don't even think about it." I warned. "I asked you out, therefore I pay. Trust me, your company is worth any amount."
Rosalie blushed.
Go Emmett! You're really smooth tonight!
"So where should we go first?"
"Umm… how about the ring toss?" She suggested.
"I'm game."
We walked over to the booth and I gave the guy three tickets. Rose grabbed two rings and I took the other one.
"On the count of three… One, two, three!"
We both threw the ring at exactly the same time. I, being the amazing athlete, managed to get the ring into the bucket.
But, Rose, on the other hand.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" The worker-guy screamed.
She clasped her hands over her mouth in embarrassment. Rosalie, who apparently lacked aim, had flinged the ring in the guy's direction and smacked him in eye.
"MOTHER ZUCKER!" He screeched.
We had somehow managed to attract an entire audience.
Rosalie was now red with embarrassment. She resembled a tomato, almost beating Bella's blushing.
"I am so sorry. Oh, gosh. I really shouldn't be allowed to throw things. I almost killed my dad when I threw a Frisbee once." She apologized.
"Mehh, happens a lot. Not really a day at the carnival, if I don't get either hit, sacked or punched. You wouldn't believe the people that come here." He paused, as if remembering something. "Oh well. You, man, won something. What'll it be?"
I looked at Rosalie and motioned towards all of the stuffed animals. "OOH! A monkey, please. I've always loved them."
He handed her a bright purple baboon and she looked so pleased.
Rose slipped her hand into mine and we walked around before deciding on another tossing game.
"Uh, I think you should do this one." She said sheepishly.
"Sure thing."
I was given four blue balls. I got each one in the big red bucket.
"4 outta 4. You won one of those big things up there."
I pointed towards a pink snake and thanked him as he handed it to me. I placed it on Rosalie's shoulders and wound it in place.
"Why, thank you. Although, if you keep it up, I won't have any hands left."
We walked around for a while and talked about everything. I'd never seen her this happy and excited.
I gave myself a pat on the back earning a confused look from Rose.
"An itch." I said.
We decided on bumper cars this time around. I was stoked because that had always been my favorite ride. I hoped into a blue one and patted the seat next to me.
"Now, Rose. After the ring incident, can I trust you to drive?" I teased her.
"You bet. You've never seen me drive before, much less than when I actually get to crash into people. And lucky you, after that crack, you're my target." She smirked evilly.
The ride started and I pushed hard on the pedal. I took off in Rose's direction but she swerved and I ended up hitting a five-year-old full on.
I swiveled and followed her but some evil ten-year-old was on my tail.
"Go pick on someone your own size!" I shrieked.
Out of nowhere, Rosalie rams right into me.
"Gotcha! I told you!" She cackled before going after that freak ten-year-old who bumped into me.
We tag-teamed and ganged up on the kid. I had no sympathy, so we each took a side. And at precisely the same time, I crashed into him on the left, and Rose on the right. I kinda felt bad after seeing his body being jerked in every direction, but I had warned him. And unleashed the full power of Grand Master Emmett.
Rosalie and I got out of the cars, laughing our heads off.
"I can't believe we just did that. We practically bullied this little kid." Rose giggled. "You, Bob, are a bad influence."
"I do believe I can get that reaction. Are you hungry? Cause you didn't eat your wrap, yet." I mocked.
She snickered as I placed my arm around her shoulders while her arm went around my waist.
I walked her over to the concession stand. I ordered some popcorn and Rose wanted some cotton candy.
We sat down at one of the picnic tables.
"I honestly can't tell you how happy I am to be here. You're honestly the coolest guy I've ever met and this is the best date I've ever been on." Rosalie said sincerely.
"I'm glad. I didn't want it to be a boring dinner and movie. Although, there were some good ones out. But I wanted to do something fun." I said as I stole some of her pink cotton candy.
"I wonder if Bella is having as much fun as I am right now."
"Not sure. Edward didn't say where he was taking her. But I'm sure she'll dish the details to you girls tomorrow."
Rosalie laughed her silvery laugh. "You're so right. That's exactly what we do. It happened after the dance too. I dished all afternoon about this wonderful guy I met…" She slowly ran her finger down my arm.
"I wonder who that handsome devil could be." I grinned.
She threw a piece of popcorn at me and then squealed.
"BINGOOOO! I've always wanted to play bingo at a carnival."
Rosalie stood up and started running in the direction of the Bingo tent.
"Slow down, Rose." I chuckled.
I reached the tent and saw that she had already gotten two sheets and those ink dabbers to check which one's you had.
"Hurry up Bob! They're starting!"
I sat down and Rosalie's eyes gleamed as the caller read the first number. "B-5"
The game continued for about 15 minutes, before Rosalie stood up and shrieked, "BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I WON!!!!!!!!!"
The caller waved her over to the prize table and she came back holding a cowboy hat.
"A cowboy hat?" I asked.
"Well it was either that or socks. They really have bad prizes for Bingo. But at least I didn't hurt anybody!"
Rosalie placed the hat on my head. "You look cute, there sheriff."
"Aha. Let's go." I said as I pulled her arm as she grabbed her stuffed animals.
Rose and I walked around for a bit, and I was about to suggest a haunted house when she pointed to something on my left.
I turned around and practically fainted. A FERRIS WHEEL?
Of course Rose has to pick the ride that I'm deathly afraid of.
"Let's go on the Ferris wheel. I love them!" Rose squeaked.
I stood motionless for a minute.
Come on, dude. Be a man! This is her date too. AND she wants to go on! How bad can a Ferris Wheel be? Just don't think about the height.
Trying to be calm and collected, I said, "Why of course."
Rose yanked me towards the line. We waited a while, before the cab person ushered us into one. She put her prizes on the floor and leaned her head against my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her.
"Mmm…" She sighed as we slowly made our way to the top. "It's so beautiful tonight. Being here with you. The sunset. Amazing."
I nodded and did everything I could to stop the growing uneasiness in my stomach.
Dude, you're a 17-year-old, 6 foot 5 muscled teenager. You shouldn't be afraid of heights. Be a man!
We had finally reached the top when the ride suddenly stopped. A voice rang through the megaphone beside us: "Sorry ladies and gentlemen, we're experiencing a few technical difficulties. Please remain patient and the ride will be fixed shortly.
I started hyperventilating. Heave, sigh, heave, and sigh. OH MY GOD! I'M GOING TO DIE! I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE ON THIS STUPID RIDE! THEY SHOULD ETERNALLY BAN FERRIS WHEELS FOREVER! I'M GONNA DIE AND GET TO HEAVEN AND THEN GOD IS GOING TO ASK ME HOW I DIED AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SAY I DIED ON A FERRIS WHEEL AND I'LL BE THE CAUSE OF LAUGHTER FOREVER! Heave, sigh, heave, and sigh.
"Are you okay, Bob? You seem a little tense." Rosalie asked concerned.
"I'm fine." My voice came out all squeaky, as if I had just inhaled helium.
She let out a small snicker and then comprehension flashed across her face.
"Oh, god. You're afraid of heights aren't you?" She asked.
Wanting to appear manly, I replied, "Pfft, no. I love heights so much that I'll probably build a million foot high house and skydive all the time."
A million foot high house? Dude, you'll be in space. Maybe close to Mars. Shit, then Lauren would come with her herd of elk.
My hyperventilation stopped as Rosalie placed her hand against my cheek.
"Since I was the one who insisted on going on this ride, then I think it's only fair that I occupy you while we're stuck up here."
I grinned madly as she lowered her head to mine.
And as our lips touched, it's like millions of fireworks exploded in the sky. It started out sweet, but then turned passionate. Our lips moved in sync and I ran my hands through her gorgeous locks. This kiss was a thousand times better than our last. With the sunset, and the notion of us alone on a ride, the kiss grew fiercer until we were practically devouring each other.
Rosalie moaned softly as she came to sit on my lap. In that instant, I knew that she was the one. The only one for me. I loved her… more than anything. We continued to kiss so fervently until I felt that my spirit had lifted up to heaven. I was finally with an angel.
And as the ride started back up again, Rosalie and I were dragged from the heavens, back down to earth.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX
So whaddaya think? I know most of you prefer Edward and Bella, but I love writing for Emmett too. Their date was way less intense than EXB's because Rose and Emmett have a different kind of love going on. Like their less intense than JXA & EXB but that eternal love is still there.
