Chapter 12
AN: I don't own Twilight yada yada, but you knew that already.
Last time
"So, uhm, my parents went away for the weekend," she whispered, "and, uhm, everyone else is out…"
"You want me to stay with you?" I asked her, begging silently that she'd say yes.
She nodded and gave me a grateful smile. "Thanks."
I got out and opened the door for her before walking to her door and going into her house.
(Emma POV)
Jacob, always the gentleman, opened the door for me and we walked into my empty house. I must say, I'm seriously nervous about being alone with him in my house, all the possibilities…
CRASH!
I screamed at the noise and ran to switch on the light. Jacob trailed behind me, trying not to laugh. I turned around to yell at him when something, or someone, behind him caught my eye. My whole body went cold at the thought that an intruder was in the house.
I grabbed Jacob's hand and we moved silently in the direction of the noise. As we approached the source another loud crash and "shit!" floated through the air. Ready for whoever could be in the next room, I let go of Jake's hand and peeked around the wall. What I saw next shocked the hell out of me…
"Holy fu– David?" I yelled at the "intruder", before running towards him and throwing my arms around him. "You scared the shit out of me!"
"I see you're still spending way too much time with Ethan," David said.
"Yeah, well…" I glanced behind me at Jacob's curious face and motioned for him to join me.
"So, who's the bodybuilder?" David asked looking Jacob up and down before taking a step back.
"David, this is Jacob, my boyfriend. Jake, this is my big brother, David." I nodded at each of them as I introduced them.
Jacob held out his hand and David flinched at the heat as he shook it. "It's nice to meet you, David."
"Ditto, big guy. How old are you anyway?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Eighteen, just like me," I told my brother. "What are you doing home? Mom and Dad are gonna be so upset that they missed you."
"I thought I'd surprise my favourite baby sister," David said as he fluttered his lashes at me.
"I'm your only sister, idiot. But seriously, what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"You know, I'm not really sure. I was studying for my big test last week and this strange feeling came over me, telling me to go home. So here I am." He shrugged.
"That explains so much," I mumbled hearing Jacob snicker behind me. "Anyway, we're going upstairs."
I tugged at Jake's hand and pulled him up the stairs and to my room. Having been in my room countless times before, he walked in and made himself comfortable on my bed. I cocked my head to the side and raised my eyebrows at him. He just smiled and patted the spot next to him on the bed. I sighed, shook my head and joined him on the bed.
I snuggled into his side as he took my hand and played with my fingers. I buried my head in his shoulder, inhaling deeply and committing his smell to memory. I gave a satisfied sigh when the scent of forest and rain surrounded me and filled my senses. Jacob leaned down and kissed my forehead before pulling me even closer and burying his nose in my hair.
"Hey, none of that," David's voice startled us out of our little bubble of happiness.
I lifted my head and gave him a sleepy glare. "Go away," I mumbled, "and we're not doing anything."
"Just keep your hands where I can see 'em," he said joining us on my bed.
I rolled my eyes and detangled myself from Jacob, but staying close enough to feel his heat.
"So how's college life treating you?" I asked my brother.
"It's good," he said sounding a little off.
"You don't sound so sure," Jake piped up.
David chuckled. "Well, it is fun and all, but…"
"But?" I questioned.
"But a little lonely. After Hannah and I broke up –"
"Wait! You guys broke up? When?" I asked incredulously.
"A while back," he mumbled," but it's no big deal."
"No big deal? You were going to propose. That's not 'no big deal'." I said angrily, softening a little when I saw his face fill with sorrow. "Sorry."
"Don't worry about, Sis. I'm okay, really." He said before launching into how great his classes are and how much he's enjoying them.
You see, David is one really smart dude. I mean genius smart. He graduated first in his class every year since kindergarten. He was student body president and valedictorian. Now he's pre-med at the University of Washington and he's still top of his class. Not bad for a 22 year old, I must say. And of course everyone's ridiculously proud of him, especially me. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that we never saw him, seeing as he rarely comes home and when he does he spends all of his time at Forks General Hospital following Dr Cullen around like a puppy. And now that he's here I couldn't help the nagging feeling in my stomach that something big is about to happen.

(Chase POV)
"She is seriously hot!" I told Paul as we paged through his magazines.
"And that's the only reason you're interested in her?" he asked eyeing the busty blonde in the magazine.
"Of course," I stated matter-of-factly.
"Good. You don't need to get emotionally involved with a chick just yet." I said turning the page and leaning closer.
I snorted. "Yeah, like you were ever emotionally involved with a girl." I mumbled shaking my head.
Paul's face split into a proud smirk as he looked at me. "Nope, never have and never will."
I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes before getting up to stretch.
"Hey, Chase?" he said suddenly.
"Mhmmm?" I lowered my arms and looked at him.
"Have you ever thought about doing it with a dude?" Paul asked looking at me strangely.
"No, I haven't even done it with a girl yet," I told him. "And I don't swing that way."
Paul chuckled and looked at me like I just divulged a very valuable piece of information. "Awe, is the little boy scared of sex?"
"What? No!" I yelled, blushing furiously.
"Then why haven't you slept with a girl yet?" he asked crossing his arms as he did so.
"I…I don't know," I whispered. "I'm just not…I don't know."
"Well, it's a good thing you have me as a mentor, Kid." Paul said slinging his arm around my shoulder. "I can teach you everything you need to know about scoring with the ladies."
I looked at him unsurely before nodding my head. "Okay."
"Ready to become a heartbreaker in training?"
I nodded and looked at him expectantly.
"Okay, young pup," he said pulling me to his bed and sitting me down, "the first thing you need to know is always, always, and I mean ALWAYS, wear a condom."
I nodded my head as I felt a blush spread on my face at the mention of the c-word.
"The second thing is, never do the same girl twice."
"But what if she's really good?" I asked in a soft voice.
"I don't care if she's got a gold medal in sex. They only get you once." Paul said a hint of finality in his voice.
"Okay," I said, not really in the mood to argue," but does the 'only once' rule apply to other things too?"
"Like what?" he asked confused.
"I don't know, like getting head, or something?" I mumbled.
"Oh," he said finally getting what I meant, "no, it doesn't apply to that. But as soon as she puts out you move on to the next one."
"Isn't that a bit harsh," I asked feeling my conscious nagging at me in the back of my mind.
"Look, do you want my knowledge or what?" Paul said glaring at me.
"I do, I do," I said quickly, "but there has to be a nicer way to do this."
He gave a loud sigh and flopped down on the bed. "Fine. You can dump them any way you want, but you have a week to do it."
"And if it takes longer than a week?"
"Then they get attached." He said looking annoyed.
"I take it you speak from experience." I stated.
"You have no idea, Kid." He mumbled with a snort.
After my first lesson we spent the rest of the night paging through magazines and watching racy movies on TV. I still felt a little bad about what I was planning on doing and if anything got back to my sister I knew that I'd be in deep shit. And I mean chin deep. I might be bigger, physically, than Emma, but she can be really scary sometimes. I guess I'll just have to make sure she doesn't find out, I thought turning on my back and falling asleep.
