As soon as we stepped into the clearing it seemed as if the moonlight was lighting up the clearing just for us.

"This is beautiful." I smiled as I walked into the clearing behind Emmett. We approached the center of the clearing where there was a blanket and a picnic basket. "Wow, you went all out didn't you?"

"What can I say? I told you that I needed to make up to you that I've been acting like such an ass." He smiled and sat down and opened up the basket and pulled out a wine bottle and two glasses. "Plus I needed to apologize for almost having you killed twice at work." He set down the glasses and opened up the bottle. I looked a bit concerned.

"I've never had wine before. And I'm not old enough to drink either." He chuckled at what I assumed was my immaturity and inexperience.

"It's fine really. If you don't want to drink any wine I will give you some water instead." He grabbed a water bottle out of the basket too. I stood there and looked for a while.

"You know what. I should probably go. I mean I'm not all that right? That's what you said this morning. And now I'm apparently too immature for you because I don't drink wine. Look if Stephanie made you do this as a pity date for me then I'm sorry that you wasted your time." I began to walk away and Emmett grabbed my arm.

"Jasmine. First off, I don't know Stephanie, and I would never do this as a pity date. I like you, I really do. At least what I know of you I like so far. Second it's fine that you don't want to drink wine. I know wine is not everyone's cup of tea. And finally what I said this morning was wrong. I should have never said something that mean and hurtful. You are an amazing girl and I'd be lucky to have you give me a second chance." He looked a little embarrassed.

"You should apologize. I don't need to let you hurt me. You're not the only guy in the world you know? I mean I know I'm no big deal compared to your precious Rosalie but I have feelings too." I heard Emmett suck in a breath.

"Okay you're right. I do have some unresolved issues with my ex, Rosalie. And I shouldn't have taken that out on you. And I will admit I still have to do some work on getting completely over her, but I would really appreciate if you gave me a second chance and we could get to know each other better." He held onto my hand and even though it was cold I didn't mind it too much.

"If I give you a second chance you have to be willing to answer any questions I may have, you talk to me and don't just go off the wall yelling and screaming, and if you act like you did this morning one more time I promise you I won't be giving you a third chance." I crossed my arm and waited for his answer.

"Fine that's only fair." He said and pulled me towards him gently. "Now how about some wine and some dinner?"

"Just a minute." I looked at him making sure I was at least an arms-length away. "Tell me about Rosalie and the relationship you two had." He sighed.

"The whole story?"

"Yes, the whole story."

"Fine, but can we sit down? It's kinda a long story." He motioned for the blanket and I sat down making sure that there was still a distance between us.

"Okay." I took a glass of wine he offered me and sat back and waited.

"Okay. Rosalie sort of found me when I was injured badly. She brought me to Carlisle who took care of me and cared for my injuries. After that we started dating and got to know each other better. Then we got closer and closer for a couple of years and then a couple of years ago she got bored with our relationship. She wanted more, after my brother Edward got married to his wife Bella, she moved on with another guy. She just came into my room one day and started packing telling me she was tired of the way things were and then she left." He looked at me waiting to see if that was enough.

"So you guys were together a long time and she left?" He nodded.

"She was the first woman I loved and who I told I loved. And then she just stomped on my heart like it was nothing to her." I could see the anger in his eyes and his fists tighten.

"I'm sorry to hear that." I looked down and took a drink of wine. "So that would explain why it's so hard for you to move on."

"Yeah. But you know what it's been a long time. It's time to move on. I've started to already, and I really want to get to know you better. That is if you want to get to know me better." He waited.

"This is really good wine." I smiled. He chuckled. "And I told you the conditions. If you can accept those then yes I will give you a second chance."

"Deal." He smiled.

"Oh and one more thing." He waited. "You don't come near me or Ollie at the barn so you don't get me killed." We both laughed at that.

"Deal." He said and got out some grapes and cheese from the basket. "So shall we continue our dinner?" I nodded. As dinner went on we talked more about random things like work and school. I observed him as he got some grapes and cheese together for me. I observed him as he laughed and talked. If we'd never do this again I wanted to remember every little thing about him. It seemed like time was going by slowly. I was completely distracted until he suddenly touched my shoulder. "Jasmine. It's getting late. I should probably get you home before your parents worry." I got up and took his out-stretched hand.

When we reached my front porch I didn't want the night to end.

"I had a fun night." I smiled and I felt some of my hair fall into my face. He gently pushed it out of my face his hand lingering on my cheek.

"I did too. I hope we can do it again sometime soon." He smiled. I waited anxiously hoping he would kiss me. I didn't know he could hear my heart beating faster and faster. He leaned forward and just as I thought he was going to kiss me I heard him whisper in my ear.

"I stole a kiss last time we were alone together. Next time I won't do it without your permission." He smiled and moved back. I was a little disappointed but I didn't want him to know that.

"That sounds fair. But I should probably get inside so that I'm not too tired in school tomorrow."

"Of course." He smiled. "Good night Jasmine." He kissed my cheek and waited for me to go inside before he left. I was so entranced that I didn't even hear my dad ask why I was home so late or notice my little brothers in my room. They left without a hassle. I got ready for bed and laid down not even realizing what I was doing. If this was what Rosalie had done to Emmett I could understand why it was so hard for him to get over her. I just hoped he wouldn't do the same to me.
