My conversation with Emmett was relatively meaningful. After we had joked about Charlie having a girlfriend, I let him know Rosalie talked to me. I filled him on our conversation, a summary anyway. He seemed to get where I was coming from.
"at least she tried" He told me. "It means she cares what I think"
"I suppose it does" I said back to him. And it was true, it was no secret Rosalie was proud but she stuck it out and talked to me. She showed she cared about Emmett.
"So what did you and Edward talk about?" I asked him changing the topic effectively
"he hurt you once, and I wanted him to know that repeating it wasn't an option" He said blankly. I would have screamed at him for threating Edward, but because I wanted that too I smiled at him
"Thanks Em"
"Thanks for giving Rose a chance" he countered
"Does my Lady fancy a lunch" Edward asked me interrupting Emmett and I. We both turned to look at him. He was staying arms crossed in the doorway.
"Sure" I said to him taking his extend arm "Later brother"
Emmett waved me away as Edward led me to the car. The driver drove us while I cuddled into my prince. We went to an Italian restaurant close by. When I saw the name, I laughed.
"A man after my heart" I said to him. He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it
"Always" he responded "it serves the most authentic Italian food"
As soon as we were seated, menus were handed to us and drinks given. I picked the first thing that was on the menu Chicken Cacciatore with pasta. Edward picked the same thing.
"You know everybody is staring" I said to him after looking around
"Not everyone" he said looking past me "well everyone now" he looked at me with a smile
"It's different, not having to sneak around" I said to him.
"It is, isn't it?" he pondered. He reached for my above the table touching my hand. "I like this"
I gave him a genuine smile "I like it too"
He retracted his hand as soon as our food came. We relatively slow, unintentionally though. Edward and I talked, laughed and teased each other, just like old times. I wasn't kidding when I said I liked it too. I sighed in contentment. Yeah I really liked it too.
