Cass' Birthday Surprise
Emmett POV
Here we are at Dusty's bar having fun with the gang. Edward is getting our drinks at the bar. Jasper went to help him. I am sitting in the booth surrounded by the girls. Ah the girls, Alice, Kortney, and Cass. Jasper and I have been friends for ever. Edward and I are cousins. They told me to meet them here in an attempt to help me get over my ex.
I loved Rose, but did I see myself with her when I was 80? No, not really. We had intense physical attraction. And eventually that attraction ran its course. We were together for a little over a year. We had been broken up for almost 3 months. I wasn't trying to seclude myself. I just didn't want to get caught up living the irresponsible single life. I'd been there done that. I am 27 years old. It was time to settle down. Rose was great, but not someone I want to settle down and have kids with.
Edward and Kortney have been together for years; all through high school and college. They are fucking perfect for each other. They are the yin to each other's yang. She is lively and very outgoing. He is a loyal and down to earth guy. They both will do anything they can to help someone. I wanted to have a love like them.
Jasper and Alice have been dating for about 2 years now. They met at a concert. Kortney brought her along and introduced them. They have been inseparable ever since.
Alice and Kortney teach with Cass. They were always talking about her. I have heard several stories about her. So I told Kortney to bring her out sometime with us.
I am glad she did because this girl was beautiful. She had the most beautiful smile and those eyes. They were rich in color, very inviting. She was a lot like Kortney, very outgoing and bubbly. She was different than Kortney in the fact that she didn't just jump right into any conversation. She waited until someone said something directly to her. I guess she was feeling us out.
I reached for my Bud Light and took a long drink. Kortney and Edward clanked their Corona's together and kissed. Alice sipped her Miller Light while Jasper drank a Coors Light. I looked at Cass who was drinking some sort of whiskey and coke.
I couldn't help but notice the way her tongue darted out and touched the glass before her lips touched it.
What the hell Emmett, pull yourself together!
The girls squealed when some dance song came on. They were on the floor bumping and grinding.
"So Emmett, what do you think about Cass?"
"I don't know Edward. She is definitely hot; she seems really sweet and a lot of fun. I guess we'll just play it by ear and see how it goes. I am interested in her though."
"Holy shit guys look!" exclaimed Jasper.
We looked up to see out girls practically fucking each other. How much had they had to drink? Alice was behind Kortney and Cass had her face all in Kortney's neck will Alice had her hands low on Cass' hips.
"Let's get out there before some guys think that they can hover around our territory." I said as I got up from the booth.
"I'd like to fucking see them try to get near my wife!" Edward growled.
I walked up behind Cass and replaced Alice's hands with my own and spun Cass around. I threw her arms around my neck and hoisted her up my body. We swayed to the music while looking into each other's eyes. Damn that woman and her eyes, they're killing me.
I shook my head and closed my eyes to try to get rid of the hard on in my pants. I looked over at Edward and Kortney to help with that. Edward had Kortney lifted up with her legs around his waist. His hands were all in her hair and they were kissing wildly. I love Kortney like a sister, so that shit just wasn't cool, married or not.
I looked back at Alice and Jasper who were keeping it PG-13, but Jasper's hands were wondering.
I heard an, "I'm thirsty" from Cass. I took her hand and led her off the floor and up to the bar.
"What'll it be?" asked the bar tender.
"I'll have a Bud Light, and she will have…"
"A crown and coke, please."
Wow! A woman after my own heart.
"Is that all you drink?" I asked Cass.
"I like beer, but I feel like tonight is a whiskey night." She said the words almost shyly, but oh so sexy.
"Is that right? What makes this particular night a whiskey night?"
"Well, you see, when I need some encouragement I drink whiskey. It helps lower my largely defensive walls. I have been fucked around with too many times."
"I understand that Cass, but you don't have to keep anything up around me. I have been were you are."
"Emmett, I will be honest with you. Kortney has talked so much about you. I already feel like I know you really well. I like your personality and I would like the chance to spend more time with you. I know that you recently got out of a long relationship, but I promise I won't go faster than you want to. There is just something about you that I find incredibly sexy."
DAMN!
So this girl thought I was sexy…well I am so glad she laid it all out there.
There is no time like the present.
"Cass, I have a confession to make too. Kortney is like a sister to me. She has talked about you for a year now. She really likes you and speaks very highly of you. If Kortney thinks you are great, then I will trust her judgment. I'll be honest and tell you that yes I loved Rose, but I wasn't in love with her. We had a very passionate and intense physical attraction. However, after time that physical attraction wore off. She became a beautiful body. There was nothing inside of her that held me there."
I felt so much lighter just getting all of this off of my chest. Cass' crown and coke was helping me as much as it was helping her.
I took another drink of my beer and began again.
"Cass, I think you are a beautiful person with an intriguing mind. Everything Kortney has ever said about you I listened to and found myself thinking that I would like a girl that's like that. I thought of asking Kortney and Alice about you, but never could work up the courage."
She finished her drink and said, "Well Emmett let's go out again tomorrow night just the two of us. What do you think?"
I smiled and picked up her hand.
"That is a perfect plan! I will call you around noon with the details. So I guess that means I need your number."
She smiled and handed me her phone. We put in each other's numbers and the switched phones back. The rest of the gang came walking up to the bar to get more drinks.
"You are wearing me out you insatiable woman!" Edward laughed as he kissed Kortney.
Kortney stood at my opposite side and whispered in my ear, "I saw that little exchange a minute ago, are you sure you are ready? I don't want her getting hurt, I love her to pieces."
"Yes. I have heard you talk about her long enough. I have always found her intriguing through your words, but we just never met. She is gorgeous and down right sinful on the dance floor. She has a charming personality and a wicked sense of humor. I can see this going somewhere. I have been honest with her about Rose."
Kortney nodded and smiled. She knew what I meant and that I was serious without further explanation.
Alice came over to stand by Cass and just briefly caught my eye and winked at me.
Jasper cocked his head in question. I just grinned at him. Now he knew. He shook his head and laughed at me.
A good dancing song came on and I grabbed Cass' hand to lead her out to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I pulled her to me. She stood on her tip toes and kissed my cheek.
"What was that for?" I asked surprised.
Cass blushed and told me, "I just felt like doing it, was it alright?"
I took her face in my hands and kissed her passionately, hoping to show her that it was perfectly fine. As we pulled apart she held the dopiest grin on her face that I am sure matched mine. She opened her eyes and took a deep breath and shot me that breath taking smile.
"You wanna get out of here and talk some more?"
"I would love to Emmett."
As we said our good byes to everyone I felt for the first time in a long time the happiness that my cousin and best friend exuded when they were with their significant others. I knew a lot about Cass from Kortney and Alice. I knew enough to talk with her for hours, but still not enough to keep me content. I wanted to know everything about her and her body. She fit next to me better than my shadow.
I led her out of the bar and to my truck. I asked her if she wanted to go to her place or mine. She said IHOP, then her place.
Hot damn this was definitely the girl for me. I held her hand the whole way to the restaurant in comfortable silence. I knew that I felt warm and whole on the inside by just touching her. I knew right then that this was going to be the start of a beautiful relationship.
********HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASS!!!!!!!!!!********

Kortney
