A month past and Emmett and I had been hanging more. It was mostly on Sunday nights at my place, for takeout or my home cook meals and a movie. Most nights he tries to walk me home. We haven't had a real date yet, but I hope we will soon
I'm really falling hard for Emmett and it was odd. For me to fall this deep and fast for guy, I only met almost two months now. There's just something about him that makes me feel so safe and secure in his arms. It seems like he's opened my eyes to see life in a new way. I never had with any other guys.
I have only dated three guys and they all turned out to be. Jackasses number one I met in high school. After him asking me out for the 1,000 time, I finally said yes and I wish I had said no. When he found out I wasn't going to put out, he found himself a girl at prom that would. How did I figure this out? I find him and her at prom in the bathroom going at it. Jackass number two I met him my first year here. Let's just say I know where the free clinics are and they know me by my nickname. The final jackass I met about three years ago. We were friends then a year ago it changed to more. Everything was good until we hit the six month mark. Then it was like he couldn't see or hear me. I thought being friends first would work. Yea right it just hurt more. I lost a boyfriend and a friend. I'm happy that I dated them now because I know what I don't want in a guy.
But Emmett, He's all I've been wishing for in a guy. He can be childish, carefree, playful and caring at times, which I love and he could always make me laugh. One time he was at my place and he started a food fight with me. Then we find ourselves on my kitchen floor making out. Then he can be this gentleman, sweet, charming, smart and this self-controlling guy. But he does have a bad temper at times, never with me. But I have heard him on the phone before and it can get scary at times. I wanted to ask why he was mad but I thought if he wanted me to know he would just tell me but he never did.
I do have to say I was mad at first when his brother became my new landlord. But it's been nice, he fixed up the place and the rent went down little. I could cut back on hours at work so it gave me more time on my book. I've been working on it a lot and I'm almost finished. Maybe month or two and I could send it out and wish for the best. Plus with more time on my hands, I could talk to my family more and that made my dad happy. Before I was lucky to send him an email every two weeks but now I call him two times a week. In the end of June I'm going back home for my step-brother Seth's high school graduation. I'm going to stay there for two weeks; I can't wait to see everyone.
Today I've been working on my book all day but only when I can get Emmett off my mind. I haven't seen him in about a week. He has been out of town for business. I wasn't too sure what he did. I just know he owns a lot of business around the city. I only time to talk to him for an hour a day if we were lucky. I look at the clock, realizing it was time to get ready to for work. After walking the six blocks to my work, I realize that the place was busier than a normal Tuesday night. I clock in and start working. After nine, everything starts to calm down. I sat in the back, and started to work on my book.
"Hey Doll how's everything?" Molly asks as she put her order in to the cook.
"I'm really good." I couldn't help but smiling like a goof.
"Who is he?" she ask
"How do you know?" Emmett and I been keeping us on the down low. We didn't even tell our family that we been seeing each other. It's just so new and we're not too sure if it's going to work out yet.
"Because I have a teenage girl at home, I can tell all the sign. So who is he?" She was giving the mother look.
"His name is Emmett and I met him here."
"Oh that guy with the nice ass. Who's been walking you home most nights?"
I laughed; Emmett did have a nice ass. "Yes."
"Nice work doll." She winks at me as she went back to work. The rest the night went good. Well, until this short pixie-like girl with small features came in. Her hair was deep black and cropped short. With how she was dressed, I don't think she was here for the food.
She just looking around like she was lost, so I approach her "Hi, can I help you Miss?"
She just looks at my nametag and smiles. "You're Bella! You're cuter then what I pictured! Please sit down and I won't take no." She said as she pulls me to a table making me sit across from her.
"Umm you are you?" I ask confuse.
"Oh I'm Alice, Emmett's Sister-in-law. I have wanted to know why that big goof has been so happy the past month. I mean he's been walking around with this big smile and he's been missing family dinner. That boy never misses a meal time not even for work. I had to fight dirty with my hubby for him to tell me. I told him I won't have sex with him until he told me. The Man broke in less than an hour after realizing I was serious." She said with a laugh.
"He told me that Emmett has been seeing a girl name Bella that" She looked around the place. "Works here. It's been so long since we've seen him happy" God this woman could talk, didn't she need to stop to breath?
"He makes me happy too but why are you here?"
"Silly Bella I just wanted to meet you. I can just tell we are going to be best friends." She said as she put her hand together. "Well I have to go before my hubby knows where I went to." She gave me a big hug. Before she walked out the door, she turned back to me with sadness in her eyes. "Bella please be good to him. I've never seen him like this, well beside with Rose." Then she was gone.
I just stand there in a haze. Do I really make him that happy? I know I haven't been this happy in long time. Then something pops in my head who is Rose?
On Saturday, I woke up and just lay in my bed, just thinking. I haven't talked to Emmett in four days, and every time I call, it went right to voice mail. I couldn't help but to think I did something to make him mad. We haven't had a real date yet and I mess it up.
My cell went off and I jump out of my bed so fast I was dizzy and ran to my phone. IT was a text from Kim saying she needs me to come to her place now. I get dressed and move slowly through my place to my front door. As I open the door something came in fast and mad. I turn around to see what came into my place and there was a very upset Emmett.
"Why are you here?" I said ask to him
He just looked at me with a death look. What the fuck did I do!?
"What did the crazy pixie say!?" Emmett almost yelled.
"What!? Really!? I've been calling you for the past four days and nothing! Now you come in my home and start yelling at me!?"
He took a big breath and let it out. "Look I'm sorry but when I heard crazy pixie came to see you… I don't know I just lost it."
He took my hand and looked me in the eyes. "Please tell me what she said?"
"To tell you the truth I don't know. She was talking like speed of light. I think she was trying to welcome me to the family and that she hasn't seen you this happy in long time. Oh yea and something about a girl name Rose." He just looked like he had anxiety about something "What are you so worried about? Is there something you're not telling me?" He didn't say anything, but I heard him say something to himself but couldn't make it out.
"Emmett you can tell me anything."
He looked up into my eyes slowly. He big blue eyes just had saddest in them. "Bella, You know how I'm worried about you walking alone?"
"Yes." I said
He took my hand and sat me down next to him. "Well you know I come from a rich family. When I was kid we had this woman come in and clean for us. Well she had a little girl that came with her. The little girl's name was Rose."
He looks down the floor "She was my best friend and when we get older, I fell in love with her. It almost killed me when I had to leave for school and I had to leave her here by herself." Then he looks back at me "She had to get a job to put herself into school. It was a job like your late hours and everything. Well when we talked on the phone she told me about this guy who always came in and hit on her. I didn't think of anything about it because she was looker and I was too busy with my own life. "
Then his mood went from mad right to sad and upset. "One night when she was walking home, the Man took her and raped her, then killed her. They find her body in a dumpster later that day. I couldn't do anything about it because I was at school." Then he stops talking he was trying not to cry.
"Emmett I'm so sorry. I didn't know you don't have to talk about it." I said as I pull him into my arms.
"No it fine you need to know this. See I was in love with her but I never told her. There's not one day I don't think about it, and I never felt what I had with her for anyone else." Then he looks into my eyes. "Then I met you that night and I promised myself that I was going to keep you safe."
Wow now I understand him a little more. He doesn't want to lose me like he lost Rose. I look at him for a minute. Then I reached up, pulled his head down and brought his lips to mine in a deep kiss. His wrap his arms around me, and pulls me into his lap. The kiss started out sweet and gentle but quickly became harder and deeper. He had his hands in my hair pulling me closer. After sometime, he pulls away and rests his head on mine so he can look into my eyes.
"Bells I don't want our first time like this but soon. I want everything to be right for you." I just nod. I know his was right.
Then my door flies open. What the hell? What's with everyone barging into my apartment? Then I saw Kim walk in with an unhappy look on her face. "Isabella Marie Swan! When someone texts… you to come now. That means now not in an hour!" Then walking in after her was Jared and Angie.
"Baby you need to keep clam." Jared says putting his arm around her.
"I don't care! This is a happy day for me and I want to tell my best friend the good news but she's too busy to cheek her-" that's when everyone noticed I was on Emmett's lap
"Hello" Emmett said to them.
"Hi" they all said.
"Sooo…..What the good news Kimmie?" I ask trying to be cute. I knew by the end of the night, Kim would have me telling her everything and have Google search on him.
"Bella, I better go, I'll let you guys talk." Emmett says getting ready to take me off his lap.
"No you don't have to." Please don't go they were going to kill me for not telling them.
I have a meeting I'm late for but tomorrow night… Can I take you out on a date?" I just nodded like dumb ass. He smiles at me and kisses me. Then he said good-bye to everyone and was out the door. I was still in haze by that kiss and thinking I'm really going on a real date with Emmett. Well that was until I heard, "Isabella Marie Swan! You are soooooo gonna die"
