How will Emmett help Edward prepare for fishing….hmmmm

_____________________________________________________________________________

I sat there silently eating my dinner as I watched her standing at the sink with her back to me. She was upset, that much was obvious. I'll let her have her time and she would talk to me when she was ready to.

Suddenly she spun around her eyes full of fire.

"Fishing? You invited Edward to go fishing with you?" Her face was an unhealthy shade of red.

"What's wrong with that? I figured you would appreciate me taking the time to get to know Edward," I was the parent here. She had no right to scold me.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "Yes, I do appreciate you trying to make an effort but why in the world would you decide to spend the day fishing with him?"

Odd, you would think that she would know that he loved fishing. Perhaps if they spent more time talking and less time, never mind about that, then she would know these things about him.

"Emmett called me, he was the one who told me that Edward loved fishing and suggested that I ask him to go," now she just started laughing. I was getting a little worried about these mood swings she was experiencing right in front of me. What kind of doctor was Carlisle again, perhaps he could help.

"Of course, Emmett would arrange this," her laughter died out a bit as she noticed the skeptical look I was giving her. "Thanks for agreeing to this dad, I know it will mean a lot to him." She smiled at me and walked over and placed a kiss on the top of my head before walking upstairs to her room.

What exactly just happened here? One second she was mad, then she was laughing and now she is magically happy. I just shook my head and went to my chair to watch the game and decide where to take Edward fishing this weekend. Staying closer to home was best in my opinion. The last thing I wanted was to be stuck with him all day, a short trip would be best. Maybe I could convince him to just meet me there? No, Bella definitely would not like that.

Flipping to the weather I realized that it was supposed to be raining all weekend, normally I would recommend going somewhere a little further to find some sun but rain would probably help to cut the trip in half so we were staying here.

As always the thought of fishing put me in a good mood so I went outside to make sure I had enough supplies for two this weekend and started whistling as I got everything prepared for the fishing trip.

Oh Emmett, he is a crafty one that boy. I had to hand it to him though this was the perfect way to torture both Edward and Charlie. I really wish that there was a way I could actually watch them fish together. Ohh…I was spending Saturday with Alice, she would find this amusing too. I was really worried about Edward's reaction when he got a hold of Emmett though, hopefully it wouldn't be too terrible.

Well since I had some time to kill before Edward got here I decided to look through Emmett's book. After today's activities there was no way I was up for anything but sleep this evening but it never hurt to be prepared.

EmPOV

I thought it was in my best interest to be present when he arrived home. Why try to hide when he could just hear me from wherever I was in the home. He had to know what I had done and I would face the consequences like a man. I would still win in the end. There was no doubt about that. He could have made this all so simple, just give me some details and I would get off his back. But no, he had to get all crafty on me and I felt no shame at doing what I had to do.

As he got closer to me I decided to just make my move.

"So I thought you might need some fishing lessons?" I really did try hard to not laugh but it was impossible.

"Glad you find this all so amusing," he grabbed the pole from my hand and snapped it in half. Well that was going to make lessons a bit difficult unless Charlie was into spear fishing. Whatever, I was only trying to help here. Someone had to be the bigger man after all.

"Well have it your way then," I said as I headed back into the house.

He was in front of me before I even had a chance to open the door. "Fine," he replied through clinched teeth. "I'll take your lesson. But don't think for one moment that this entitles you to anything else. I'm only doing this because of the situation you got me into!"

We grabbed the extra fishing poles that I had bought. Alice isn't the only one capable of seeing the future. I had an idea he might not be the jolliest when he got back home.

Being sure to keep my distance from him, who knew what kind of ninja moves he was capable of pulling out, I followed him to the lake closest to our house. The run wasn't too far and hopefully it gave him time to clear his mind.

He was still silent when we arrived so I just started talking and demonstrating what should be done. Of course this was Edward so he mastered it almost immediately, well as much as you can master fishing that is. Try all you want you can't force the fish to bite as he realized after we had been sitting there for almost an hour with no results. Endless patience was a vampire trait though so he stayed and waited, and waited and waited. After four hours even I was bored and used the only ploy I could think of in order to get him to quit this useless endeavor.

"Isn't Bella waiting for you?" And there I had him. He packed up in an instant and began running back, not even having the common courtesy to wait for me. As I followed him I wondered if I should have not even brought it up. I wasn't sure if Bella could even walk anymore after this afternoon. Perhaps sending Edward her way would cause permanent damage. As I was dwelling on this I ran right into Edward who had stopped to wait for me. The sound of our bodies running into each other reverberated through the air around us.

The look in his eyes was deadly. "Do you seriously think I would ever damage her? Even accidentally? I do have control you know. She is used to me sleeping with her ever night and I can manage that without taking advantage of her thank you very much," with one last look of fury he was on his way again.

Well alrighty then. I just watched him as he ran away shaking my head at Mr. Self Control. Oh yes, he was the very picture of control that one. What with the getting caught, breaking down bars, and the four times (it still made me shudder) earlier today. If that was control then poor Bella was doomed if he ever did lose it.

Picking up the pace I began to run again singing songs as I moved through the woods. As I ran I tried to determine what my next move would be in this little game that Edward and I were playing.

EPOV

I ran through the woods desperate to get to her house as soon as possible. My poor love was sitting there waiting for me and I had left her there alone. I made it to her house in record time, climbed up to her room, removed the bars and watched her as she slept. She looked so content curled up on her bed, snoring slightly. Poor thing, she really must be worn out.

I sat in the chair next to her bed while she slept. I reviewed in my mind the last hours that I had just spent with Emmett. I felt confident that my fishing skills would be enough to get me through one day of fishing with Charlie. I just hoped that my luck would be better. It would be embarrassing to spend entire day fishing and not catch a single thing.

As I watched her I noticed that she appeared to have something in the bed next to her. Curious I walked across the room quietly trying to determine what it was.

Well I certainly wasn't expecting that. Emmett's book was lying next to her as if she had been reading it when she drifted off to sleep. Although how anyone could drift off to sleep while reading that was beyond me. Upon closer inspection I noticed that she had taken the liberty to fold over the corners of some of the pages. Well this definitely was a surprise.

Without disturbing her I removed the book from her bed and sat down again. I immediately flipped to the pages that she had marked and was shocked. She wanted to try that?? Was that even possible for us? As I flipped from page to page I couldn't help getting somewhat aroused at the things that she wanted us to try. I looked over at her in amazement, amazed at this incredible woman before me.

Bella slept all night in peace. My name frequently escaped her lips and I couldn't help but smile. I kissed her gently on the forehead before I left in the morning to get ready for school.

I was back in no time to pick her up for school. The day passed slowly and uneventfully. The movie was over in biology so we had to settle for holding hands under the table while Mr. Banner lectured. She came over to our house after school but Charlie was picking her up today and bringing her home so we didn't have much alone time together. We had enough to satisfy our desires, but just barely.

I promised to be there earlier tonight as I kissed her chastely goodbye. I also promised Charlie that I would be at their house tomorrow morning at 5 for fishing. He was impressed that I didn't complain at all about the early hour so at least that was a point in my favor. I would take anything I could get at this point.

That night when I got to Bella's room she wanted to talk. It seemed like forever since we had actually just sat and talked so it was refreshing to hold her in my arms as she voiced her concerns about my fishing expedition the next day.

She drifted off to sleep as I reassured her with my stories of fishing the evening before. I was also leaving soon to meet with Emmett to try my hand at fishing again. I would feel better if I actually caught something but I didn't let her know that. After I had carefully extracted myself from her arms I ran back to the lake where Emmett was waiting for me.

"Think you can actually manage to catch something this time?" he teased me.

I just huffed and baited my hook and launched it into the water having mastered the perfect technique in which to do that already. We sat in silence, Emmett's mind was full of questions that he wanted to ask me but I wasn't going to play along with him. If he had something to ask he would have to be man enough to say it out loud.

So in silence we sat. Tonight was better than last night and I actually caught a few fish so now I knew that tomorrow would be a piece of cake. Charlie would be impressed by my fishing skills and would approve my relationship with Bella. Of course I should probably still be careful that he didn't catch us having sex again but other than that minor detail I would be the perfect man for his daughter.

EmPOV

He seemed quite sure of himself tonight. He actually caught a few fish this time so that boosted his confidence. I sat there in silence debating about whether or not I wanted to ask him some questions. I could tell by the look on his face that he was away of my inner debate but he actually wanted me to say this out loud. How embarrassing. Now I kind of understood how hard it was for him to ask me for pointers in the first place. This definitely would not be going down as the highlight of my night.

Clearing my throat I struggled to get the words out.

"So…um…Edward…I couldn't help but notice yesterday. Well when Bella was over that you…you did…um…four times." Goodness I would be as red as Bella if that was possible.

"Was there a question in there somewhere Emmett?" Damn him, he wasn't going to make this easy at all. I suppose I deserved this after my phone call to Charlie.

"Okay seriously Edward. How?" I looked at him in amazement.

"Normally Emmett I would never tell you anything but despite you phone calls you have helped me out," I nodded. Yes I had helped him, without me four times would have never been possible. I was a giver after all.

"This is true," I waited anxiously for him to continue.

"Honestly Emmett I don't know what came over me. When she is around I just can't resist her. I want her, I crave her. It's like her blood but far more powerful," I could tell he was thinking about her as he stared off into space his eyes dazed.

"I know exactly what you mean Edward my boy. Even though I had my way with Rosalie before school this morning I couldn't keep my hands off her at lunch time. We had to go into the woods for some monkey time if you know what I mean," by the way his face cringed I could tell he knew exactly what I meant. Ahh..memories.

"Well thank you for that image Emmett," I smiled at him as he shook his head at me. "I think I've had enough for one night and that I am sufficiently prepared. Are you ready to head back?"

We both got up and packed up our stuff and ran back home. Edward went to his room to decide what to wear for tomorrow morning. This was one story that I couldn't wait to hear after he got back home tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy! More coming very soon! Next chapter is another one of my favorite and the title is ….Vampires Don't Get Nervous!

Teaser:

"So Edward," this time there would be no fish to distract him as he had already used the last worm to catch one of impressive size. "What is your intention with Bella?"
