I own nothing, except my OC Malady :)

************************************************After School*************************************************

I was standing at my locker, putting all the folders and notebooks that I would need over the weekend in my bag when I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist from behind.

"Hey baby," a sexy voice purred in my ear. His cold lips reached my neck.

"Mhmm, hi." I leaned back into him and closed my eyes for a second.

"You ready?" Emmett asked after I slammed my locker closed.

"Yep," I answered cheerily.

We walked out the doors of the school hand-in-hand, my military-style messenger bag on Emmett's shoulder; he would not let me carry it. He boosted me up into his Jeep and got in himself.

"So, you have homework?" he asked casually.

"Yeah," I replied, "I'm gonna have to do it this time. I kinda got sidetracked last night."

Emmet gave a low chuckle knowing exactly what I meant. "It's the weekend, you'll have enough time to finish it."

"I hope so," I laughed.

"There's a game on tonight; the Seahawks are playing the Steelers." Emmett said, referring to football. I actually really don't like football, but I find it fun to watch with Emmett cause he gets so into it.

"Ooooh," I commented.

"What?" Emmett asked, confused.

"The Steelers are my hometown team." I answered.

"The Steelers are from Pittsburgh; you said you were from Moundsville, West Virginia."

"West Virginia is a pathetic state without its own NFL team, so we rooted for the closest one," I laughed. Emmett started laughing with me. "So, your house or my house?"

"Doesn't matter," Emmett said, stopping at a red light.

"Are you hunting this weekend?"

"I didn't plan on it," he answered, "Why?"

"Cause I have an idea. I come over, yes?" I wondered.

"Of course. All weekend?"

"If it's alright." I smiled.

"You know it's fine with me. But how are you gonna manage that with your aunt?"

"I said I had an idea. I won't be imposing on your family, will I?" I wondered.

"Absolutely not," Emmett assured me.

He pulled up to my house, and I was relieved to see Aunt Cecelia wasn't home yet. She still had no idea that I was with Emmett, and I planned on keeping it that way for as long as possible. I didn't know how she would feel about that, but I didn't wanna risk her forbidding me to see him. She never asked; I never brought it up.

Upon entering the house, I heard the telephone ringing. I ran into the living room and picked it up right before the answering machine came on.

"Hello," I answered.

"Hi Malady," came Aunt Cecelia's voice from the other line, "I'm on my break, and I wanted to tell you that I'll be home pretty late tonight."

"Okay. Uhm, I was wondering if it would be alright if I stayed the weekend at my friend Alice's house?" I asked, "I finished all my chores early," I added in for good measure.

"Alice who?" she inquired.

"Alice Cullen; her dad is Dr. Cullen."

"She's a pretty good kid, alright."

"Thank you," I said happily, winking at Emmett.

"You're welcome. I gotta go. Have fun. Love you. Bye."

"Love you, too. Bye."

I hung up the phone and threw my arms in the air. "Woo!" I exclaimed.

Emmett laughed and kissed me on top of the head. "So clever," he said.

"I know, right?" I laughed. "Come help me pack." I took Emmett's hand and led him up the steps to my bedroom.

I dug around under my bed until I found my little black duffel bag. I tossed it on the bed and scurried off into the bathroom to grab my toothbrush, and contact stuff. "Hey Emmett?"

"Yes?" he answered.

"What do you have at you house, toiletry-wise?" I asked.

"That's like shampoo and stuff, right?" he wondered.

"Yeah," I laughed.

"We have all that."

"Okey dokey," I replied. I grabbed my razor and brought it into my bedroom along with my other items.

As I was digging through my closet for clothes to wear, I heard my cell phone ring. (Emmett bought it for me and had insisted I take it.) "Could you get that?" I asked him.

"Sure. Hello," I heard him say into the telephone. He laughed once and then put the phone on speaker.

I caught the tail end of a sentence, "...-sleepover." The familiar, excited voice babbled away. She was talking so fast I couldn't understand her. I caught the words "paint" and "nails". Now, either she was planning on building a house or she was talking about mani/pedis.

"Alice. Alice!" Emmett interrupted her, laughing.

"What?" she replied impatiently.

"Now, you will have your chance for girl time and to give Malady that makeover tomorrow," he said calmly. He continued, "But tonight, she's mine." I turned around from the closet to face him, and he winked at me. I smiled and tossed a t-shirt on my bed.

"I think that's up to Malady," she said stubbornly.

Emmett handed me the phone, rolling his eyes. I laughed and took it off of speaker. "Hey Alice," I said, holding the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I finished packing.

"Aww, Malady, that's no fair!" Alice complained, seeing my decision before I was able to tell her myself.

"It's totally fair. I belong to Emmett tonight, and you get to work your magic on me tomorrow. Deal?"

"Deal," she sighed.

I chuckled, "I'll see you in a little bit."

"Okay, bye," she grumbled.

"Bye." I shoved everything into my bag and closed it with a satisfying "Zip!"

"I never thought I'd have to fight over you with my sister," Emmett said, taking my bag out of my hands, "Why are you so likable?"

"Beats me," I laughed. After making sure I had everything and locking the house up, I closed the door behind me and got into Emmett's Jeep.

"Ready?" Emmett asked after I hooked my seatbelt. (I finally had that part figured out)

"Yep!" I grinned widely as Emmett pulled away from the house. I popped "Time For Annihilation", the newest CD by Papa Roach, into the CD player, and hit shuffle. "Kick In The Teeth" started playing. I began head-banging side-to-side causing my bangs to swing with my movements. Emmett laughed when he saw me and gave me a special smile. I grinned back and looked out the window when he turned his gaze back to the road.

Sorry it took so long to post. I normally try to do it every other day, but I got sidetracked. I probably won't be posting every other day any more, cause all these chapters have been pre-written. And now I'm caught up and need to start writing it again O.o Lol But I hope you liked it! :)
