A/N: So, a lot of you commented on Emmett. Hehe. Yes, I envisioned him as a little person, but after a heated debate *side eyes LovinRob*, it was determined that wasn't feasible. LOL! So, picture Scott Caan if you will, he's short but could still rescue a swimmer. So this chapter is a bit of a filler. The good stuff is coming. Literally. *blushes*

Thanks to all of you who are reading and reviewing, favoriting and alerting, and recommending this, if anyone is. I flove you.

LovinRob is a master debater. :P

"Well Bella, let me help you up." I say, reaching my hands out to her and walking her back to her towel.

I can't resist and wrap my arm around her waist. Just to be sure she doesn't fall from her traumatic experience, of course. In any case, just as I suspected, she fits perfectly in my arms.

Once I have her safely situated back on her towel, I scan the beach to make sure all is copacetic before squatting down next to her.

"So, what brings you to Hawaii?" I ask.

"My best friend, Alice, is marrying her brother." She says, thumbing over to Rose.

"Nice. When did you arrive?" I ask.

"Just today. We're going to a luau tonight. I haven't been lei'd yet." She says, her eyes widening at her unintentional innuendo.

"Well that's… Unfortunate." I snicker.

"I meant with the flower thing." She says, using her finger to circle her neck.

"Gotcha." I smile.

"You guys should come." Rose pipes up.

"Yeah?" I ask, looking at Bella.

"Definitely. Maybe you can help me with the getting lei'd part of the night." She says, wiggling her brows.

"That I can do." I smile and wink.

This girl is crazy and beautiful and I want to know everything about her.


A/N: Aww… Sandward is smitten. Thanks for reading. See ya manana. xoxo
