Chapter 52
Edward
"So, you`re coming with me tonight, right, just a few quiet ones? Peter pulled out, so it`s Garrett and us," I do my best to convince my best friend to join me for a few drinks. Since he met Rose, he hasn`t been occupying my couch as much, and I sort of miss it.
"I don`t know," he moans. "I`m seeing Rose in the morning, and if I drink tonight, I`ll be unconscious until tomorrow noon."
"Em, I`m not talking about getting blasted, it`s a few beers with Gar and me, to unwind. You`ll be fresh as a newborn baby in the morning, and you can do whatever it is that you do with Rose, all day. Please, spare me the details," I add as a warning.
"I`m a gentleman, thank you very much," he retorts with a pout; it`s a hilarious sight.
"You really like her," I state matter-of-factly.
"I used to think that guys like that were wussies, but when you click with the right girl, it just feels good and right."
"Well, congrats, man," I say and pat Emmett`s shoulder. "I hope her cousin is just as awesome."
"I think you two should quit this dancing routine, meet up and get it going," he kind of sings to me. "Think about it, Ed; we`ll get the girls wine, chocolate and some DVDs, and we can slip out for a few! Genius or what?"
"You`re already organizing our family time, I see. You don`t know this girl either," I begin, but upon catching Emmett`s eyes… "Em, has something happened that I don`t know about?"
"Rose and I bumped into your girl the other day."
"And?"
"And I`m wondering what the hell you`re doing here talking to me, when you could be wooing her at the same time!"
"That good?"
"You`re an idiot, and you can drink alone tonight," he pouts again.
I should listen to him and meet up with this girl. Maybe then I`ll stop waking up in sticky sheets thanks to the few memories that I have of Bella Swan, and the images of her squeezing the last drops out of me. I wouldn`t dare jerk off to her image during the day, knowing that she has a partner and a kid, but I don`t control what happens to me at night, now, do I?
Oh, sexual frustration, when did you sneak in?
