Sooo sorry for the delay, guys! I had state wide testing and my school show opens in two weeks. Here's a little Rosalie for all of you. Love you all. Please review! If you review you will get a sneak peek of the next chapter [=
Previously: (Emmett's POV)
"Jeez man. You sure are whipped."
"And proud of it." He smiled, before kissing Alice's forehead
He turned back to Esme.
"Well after our run in with our favorite strawberry blonde friend, we had an appointment for the baby. Actually, Carlisle was our doctor."
"Ha! Your dad has to see your-
"Emmett." Rosalie hissed, before kicking me in the shin
"Hey!"
I quickly took an overview of the table. Esme looked confused. Carlisle was fiddling with his Blackberry. Bella was blushing at her plate. Edward was looking at Bella. Jasper was back to his previous position, eyes locked on Alice's. And Alice was shooting me a look. A knowing look.
She knew something was up with me and Rose, and she wasn't going to let it go. This could be a very, very long night.
"Esme, could I trouble you for a glass of wine?"
Rosalie's POV:
"I'll also take one, if it's not too much trouble." I added
I looked over at Emmett. He looked absolutely petrified. I had a feeling that he wouldn't be cracking any jokes for the rest of the meal. What was he so caught up in?
Esme gave us a nod and headed into the kitchen to get us each a glass. Alice turned to Emmett. This, I had to see.
He shrunk back in his seat waiting for the continuous shooting of questions, but to my surprise, she smirked at him, and turned to me.
"So…Rosalie?"
I fiddled with the napkin on my lap. Emmett nudged me softly.
"How's work?" Alice asked
Work. Easy question. I could do this. Maybe she didn't know after all.
"Work is great. Lots of divorces. Lots of custody issues. Long hours."
"Busy bee, huh? But not too busy." She winked
"Too busy for what dear?" Esme asked, entering the room
"Rosalie's seeing someone." Alice told her
Emmett choked on his water, and Edward chuckled softly.
I grabbed the glass of wine from Esme and took a long gulp.
"Really? Now, tell me all about him." Esme cooed
I was going to kill Alice.
"Give Rosalie a break." Bella mumbled
"Thanks." I whispered, giving her a sincere smile
Alice turned to Bella.
"So, how was your sleepover last night?"
Bella's face turned crimson red.
"Ali, babe, let's not. If Rosalie and Bella want to share information about their relationships, then they will. Don't force it out of them." Jasper laughed
My head snapped up at the same time that Carlisle's chair pulled back.
"I'm so sorry all of you, but I just got buzzed by the hospital, I've got to skip out."
"It's quite alright, honey." Esme said giving him a smile and pecking him on the lips
"See you all later." He waved, as he jogged out the door
"Yes, Alice, Jasper is right." Edward spoke, continuing the conversation, "Do not pester the girls about their relationships. Their personal life is for them to share when they feel it is vital."
"Fine. Then what about you? How was your sleepover?"
"Delightful."
But that didn't seem to satisfy Alice's craving for juicy gossip.
"You sure you don't want to tell me who it is, Rosalie?" she pleaded
Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.
"Brace yourself." Emmett whispered in my ear
And then there they were. Those damn puppy dog eyes. Now there was no way to deny the pixie of her wishes. Crap.
"Fine." I breathed
"Yay." She giggled, clapping her hands together
"He's really great."
"Great with physical love or relationship wise?"
"Both."
"Does he work with you?"
"No."
"He's not a lawyer?"
"No."
"Then how do you juggle your different schedules?"
"We both have demanding jobs with similar hours."
"Long hours? So he's wealthy, no?"
"Yes."
"oooh!" she squealed
Esme looked embarrassed, and Emmett, well, he looked kind of proud and ashamed at the same time, if that was possible. Alice was just about to speak again when my phone buzzed. I held up my finger and grabbed the phone. I got up and walked to the foyer. Alice began bothering Bella.
"Rosalie Hale, who may I ask is calling?"
"Rose, dear, it's Richard. I'm sorry to bother you after hours, but I just wanted to call and remind you that you have to be at the final signing tomorrow."
"Sorry, give me an overview?"
"Your client Irina Wuthers, who has been married to Laurent Pierre for 17 years. They met in France when she was studying abroad. They have declared and agreed to a divorce."
"Oh, of course. Right. And that's at what time?"
"9 o'clock sharp."
Great.
"Of course. No problem. Thank you so much for reminding me."
"Not at all, . You have been quite busy lately, and it is my duty to remind you of the little things."
"That's why I love you, Richard."
He chuckled.
"I'll see you tomorrow after the papers are signed."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye Miss Rosalie. Do me a favor and get yourself a good night of sleep."
"Will do." I promised, as I slipped my cell phone into my pocket
"Back." I mumbled, as I found my way back into the dining room
Alice was glaring at me.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Richard? Richard? You are a beautiful, drop dead gorgeous, blonde, ex-model who eats like a guy and doesn't gain weight, who used to work at Hooters, who can get what she wants with the wave of her hand, and you date one of your father's wrinkly old friends who is your personal datebook! Richard!"
"I'm not dating Richard."
"But you said, and I quote, "That's why I love you, Richard.""
"Alice let me ask you something."
"Yes?" she growled
"Do you love me?"
"Yes."
"And do you love Bella, and Emmett?"
"Yes, but I don't see what this has to do with anything."
"Are you dating me or Bella, or Emmett?"
"Of course not! I'm happily married and pregnant."
"See?"
"Rosalie I'm not seeing where you're going with this."
"Just because you love someone doesn't mean you're dating them."
"Not always."
"But do you get my point?"
"Yes. For example, you love Emmett."
"Exactly! I love Emmett."
"Ha! I knew it! I just knew it! What did I tell you Jazz?" she shrieked, jumping up from her chair and pointing her finger at me accusingly
