Chapter 14: No One Ignores a McCarty
Emmett's POV
After the game ended, Edward disappeared off into the waters to cool off while the three of us headed over to the girls.
As we sat down, I noticed Tanya and Rosalie sitting quiet a distance away from the group. I mean I can understand why Tanya was like that. She wasn't close to the other girls.
But never would I have thought that Rosalie would distance herself. I thought she was pretty close to Alice and Bella.
I was sitting around with the others trying to enjoy myself in the sun. But honestly, it was boring me. I mean I don't get it why people tan. It's just so boring to me. Note how I said boring twice to emphasize my point.
No offence to the ladies or men who loves it. I mean I prefer to be out there doing some physical stuff sweating it out.
When Edward came to ask whether we wanted to go to the caves, I silently did a happy dance in my head. I wanted to jump up and hug him for being such a genius. I mean why didn't I think of it earlier!
But I couldn't do that. I had to act normal. I don't need anyone to think I was weird or even worse, gay. So I stood up and brushed the sand off my bum while I gave him the answer.
Edward asked around as I stood around ready and excited to go off exploring the cave. I stood around tapping my feet impatiently as I waited for Edward to ask around. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't mind if it was the only two of us going.
When I heard Tanya's question, I snapped. What kind of question was that? Of course we need to walk! That was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. But coming from Tanya, I wasn't surprised.
I sighed in impatience as I heard Edward patiently talking to Bella. I could tell he had a weak spot for her. I mean, she is cute, funny, pretty and nice. Just the kind of guy Edward needs. I think they would make a nice couple actually.
When I saw Bella finally took Edward's hand and joined us, my face broke out in an award winning smile. With dimples and everything. My grandma always said that that smile could light up even the saddest, gloomiest days.
Anyways, with Rosalie by my side, we head off in the direction of the cave. I quickened my pace in excitement to go exploring on a deserted island. Okay, so it is not a deserted island, but there wasn't a lot of inhabitants here. It is mostly forestation and nature. It makes me kind of feel like I was on a discovery mission. It makes me excited!
To be honest, I had another ulterior motive to widen my stride. I simply do not want to be held down by Rosalie. I mean no offence, but hiking was meant for men. Not ladies. And I certainly would not let her slow me down.
To put it in a nicer tone, I want to move faster so that I can allow Edward and Bella to have some private time strolling through the thick vegetation hand in hand. I mean isn't that awesome?
Okay now I sound like a girl.
Anyways, I was sorely disappointed when I realized Rosalie was keeping up with my long strides. Not that I was mean or something, but in the McCarty family, all men are the strongest and the ladies were just there to look pretty.
I mean its something like a McCarty pride and she just hurt it. She kept up with my pace!
"So Rosalie. You're a model?" I asked her trying to make small talk.
"Yeah. Why?" she replied in a clipped tone. I frowned. I was just trying to be nice. Now she makes me interested. I wonder how much she can take before she ticks and goes berserk.
"I don't recall seeing you in magazines before? It's either that or you haven't appeared on any magazines yet." I taunted her waiting to see if she loses her temper.
"Well maybe you are looking in the wrong kind of magazines." She replied coolly as I frowned. Ok I so wasn't expecting that.
"I assure you, I have seen a lot of models in magazines and you are not one of them. So what do you model for? Bikini? Maternity dress?" I taunted her. I wanted to see what her breaking point was.
"No. I don't model for either of them." she said.
"Why? With your looks, you would look great modeling in a bikini. Or maybe I was wrong. You model nude or something?" I continued to taunt her. I knew I was probably crossing the line with the last question but I had to get some sort of reaction out of her. Not just a clipped one.
"Shut up!" she hissed, "You don't know anything about me. I am not the kind of woman you think I am. For your information, maybe if you bothered reading normal everyday magazines, you would see me inside them."
"So you want me to see your pictures in the magazines?" I teased as she fumed.
"You are an insufferable moron. I can't believe I'm even communicating with you!" she spat as she walked faster.
I chuckled. She was just so fun to make fun of. Soon, we reached the cave. Rosalie still wasn't talking to me. Although she looks cute when she is mad. She looks like a small kitten trying to be as fierce as a tiger. It was hilarious.
"Are you not going to talk to me?" I asked her as she continued to ignore me. This was starting to get on my nerves.
No one ignores a McCarty! Not especially a girl! This girl has no manners. I never thought girls would be this rude.
None of the girls my brother brought home have this issue. And my dad mentioned that girls must be polite to us no matter what.
"Hey Rosalie. I'm talking to you." I called to her as she continued to ignore me.
I sighed and stalked over to her. This was getting on my nerves already. Quickly, I placed my arms on the wall behind her, cornering her.
"I said, I'm talking to you." I growled at her as she tried to push me away.
"Get away from me if you still want to celebrate father's day." She hissed.
"Why should I listen to you when you have been so kindly ignoring me?" I said in a low tone as she glared back at me.
As she opened her mouth to let out a retort, I heard a low manly chuckle.
"Fancy seeing you here Rosalie." The deep voice said as Rosalie stiffened up.
Her eyes widened with shock as her breathing turned laboured.
