BELLA P

BELLA P.O.V.

About 5 minutes later, I stopped crying. Highly embarrassed, I curled up against Edward's side. The room was quiet. Unnaturally so. About 10 seconds later, the silence became too much for Emmett.

"I'm glad we got our feelings out in this session," he said abruptly in a deep southern drawl, turning to face a blank wall. That's it I thought Emmett's finally lost it. "Well, that's all for today, folks. Thanks to all our viewers and don't forget, next time on Doctor Phil we will be meeting with a morbidly obese grizzly bear who, in a fit of rage, ate his mother. Will he ever be able to forgive and get over himself? I think not. Maybe he should have a little chat with Edward..."

We all laughed all except Edward who growled. He looked like he wanted to tackle Emmett. He turned to me, his eyes tender, yet I could see deep down he was yearning.

"GO!" I said "Sock it to 'im" He grinned a beautiful grin and lunged at Emmett, wresting him to the ground and pinning him down. Emmett finally stopped wiggling and accepted defeat.

"Emmett," Rosalie said from where she was standing over him and he was trying to see up her(Alice's ) shorts.

"1: Stop peering up Alice's shorts" we all laughed and Emmett looked away

"And 2, Ya know I love you, but you are sooooooooooooo impolite. And kind of funny..."

"Humph" Emmett grumbled. "Let me up, Edward".

"Apologize" Edward ordered simply.

"NO! It was funny. Even Rosie admitted it..."

"APOLOGIZE" Edward commanded more firmly.

"Just let him up, Edward" I cut in before another table was broken "I miss you". Edward turned to me and complied instantly, rushing over to me and lifting me off my feet, kissing me. I broke way blushing and giggled.

"OKAY!!" Jasper cut in," Your happiness is sickening".

We rolled our eyes, but faced the circle and did our best to control our glee. Suddenly, Emmett's face lit up.

"Um...Rosie...I left something in the Jeep..." he trailed off suggestively.

"Well, go get it, Em," Rosalie said, dismissively, pretending not to notice his VERY OBVIOUS advance.

"Well, I need help finding it..."he said innocently.

"NO, Emmett," she said firmly. There was a 30 second silence.

"How 'bout now?" he asked, his face hopeful

"No" she said, his face fell comically.

Another 20 seconds "Now?" his face was alight with a renewed hope.

"Nope". 15 seconds. "Now?"

"No"

10 seconds alter: "now?"

"No" she said, her voice deadly calm.

5 seconds later: "How about now?"

"NO!" She almost yelled "And if you ask again I will cheerfully beat you to death with that frying pan you bought yesterday".

"Why did Emmett buy a frying pan?" I murmured to Edward.

"Because he thought it was a sex toy" Jasper called from across the circle, howling with laughter.

"Emmett rolled his eyes "How was I supposed to know what it was?" he paused "How ab-"

Rosalie cut him off "Emmett, you are a creature of sex" she stated, irritated. "Now where's that frying pan?" She got up from next to him and went into the kitchen where we heard a bunch of clattering and banging.

Emmett called, "Well, since we both agreed that I'm a sexybeast, how about now?"

"That's not what I agreed to," she hollered from the kitchen. "AHA!" she came back , her eyes flaming, her shoulders squared, her hair whipping around her face, her—wait. We were inside.

"Jasper?" Alice asked cautiously "Why do you have a fan whipping Rosalie's hair?"

"I dunno" he said "I thought it helped add dramatic effect".

"Uh-huh" She replied... "Oh my Carlisle. My baby's gone insane…" she muttered to herself.

"Hey Rose" Emmett said "How about no-"

This time I cut him off "EMMETT! SHUT UP!" I yelled. Then I turned to Rosalie, who was still holding the frying pan and said ,"Truth or dare?".

"Psh, dare," she said as she advanced towards Emmett, who wasn't paying attention, with the frying pan " I highly doubt you could come up with something that would embarrass me! I've been through--"

"I dare you to crash your BMW right. now.". I cut her off. There was a clatter as she dropped the frying pan on Emmett's foot.

"OW! Rosie!" He screeched, but she didn't seem to notice.

"Ooookkkaaayyy...you came up with something that scares me..."

I just smiled maliciously.

"You can always forfeit ya know..." I said as an afterthought.

"Forfeit" Rosalie said immediately.

"Alice?" I turned to my sister, who smiled graciously at me before saying, "The group forfeit is..."
