What's this? Another chapter already?
What can I say. When I'm in the zone I. AM. IN. THE. ZONE.
We're almost at the end of this little tale. I hope to get the next chapter up over the weekend sometime. Now let's see what Emmett has to say.
Normal disclaimers apply.
EMPOV
"Hey babe. What are you doing here?" I leaned down to scoop up my girl and planted a huge one on her luscious lips. "Not that I'm not pleased to see you of course."
"I know you're only working until six today, so I thought that maybe we could do something this evening?" She glanced up at me while licking her lips.
"No need to ask me twice. What did you have in mind?"
"How about I cook for you for a change and then we can watch a movie, you might even get lucky." She said with a wink. Such a vixen.
"Sounds like the perfect evening. Should I go home and change first?"
"No need. You still have some clothes at mine you can change into. I washed and dried them for you."
"You're the best Rosie baby. I love you."
"I love you too ya big oaf. I'll see you tonight."
"I'll be counting down the minutes." I watched her walk out of the restaurant and scowled at Newton who was obviously checking her out too. He shrunk away from my glare and carried on showing people to their tables.
The afternoon flew by pretty quickly and I was relieved to see Sam come in for the evening shift early. Being a Friday night the joint soon got busy. I went over the dinner time specials and a quick run through of what ingredients needed using up or throwing out. Thankfully it was a smooth handover and I was out of the building by six thirty.
The drive to Rosalie's took me twenty minutes in the evening traffic and when I finally pulled up to her apartment building I was shocked at what I saw. Emergency vehicles were everywhere and the top of the apartment building was smouldering. Thankfully Rosalie lived on one of the lower levels. Fire crews were still aiming their hoses at the roof of the structure and the sidewalks were filled with residents and bystanders. I parked up and climbed out, looking everywhere for Rose.
"Rose? Rosalie!" I called out, scanning the crowd.
"Emmett!" I could see her blonde head weaving through the crowd towards me. Moments later she was in my arms.
"What's going on? What happened?" I asked, holding her close.
"The stupid stoners on the top floor fell asleep with a lit joint between them. The whole level went up in flames."
"Fuck! Are they okay?"
"The two that were nearest the joint have been carted off to hospital for burns and smoke inhalation. The others are being treated for smoke inhalation. They're the ones that raised the alarm. I'm so pissed. Dinner was turning out so well too."
"Food is the last thing to worry about. Are you okay?" I asked, holding her away from me and scanning her over.
"I'm fine. Just glad you're here now. They won't let me back inside until the marshals have deemed the building structurally safe. Can I stay with you for a while?"
"Of course you can babe. Come on. Let's get some information from one of the fire crew and then we can get a pizza on the way back to mine." We flagged down one of the nearest firemen who told us that the top floor was still partially alight and the marshals haven't had a chance to check the building out yet. Rosalie gave him her number and told him she'd be staying at mine for the time being. I led her back to my car and we set off for my place, stopping by a pizza joint to pick up one large deep dish with the works.
Pulling up to my place I noticed Edward's car was still gone and Bella's lights were off. Hopefully they were having a good time on their date.
"Em? What are we doing here? I thought you were taking me to your place?" Rose asked, peering out of the windows. "Why are we at Bella's?"
"Wait, you know Bella?"
"Yeah she's my cousin. What are we doing here?" She repeated.
"Babe I live here. Bella is my neighbour. She's on a date with my brother right now."
"Oh my god! You're Edward's brother?! You're one half of the gay couple!" Rosalie burst out laughing while I sat there totally perplexed.
"What are you talking about?"
I waited for Rose to catch her breath and explain. "Bella has been crushing on your brother for months but she assumed you and Edward were a married gay couple. Apparently, according to her, you never introduced yourself as brothers and because you don't look alike she just assumed he was your husband." She laughed all the way inside while I felt a little sick. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against same sex relationships, but for someone to think I was giving it to my brother made me shudder.
I was almost too squicked out to eat my share of the pizza. Almost.
It was nearing ten thirty when I finally heard Edward's car pull up in the driveway. Rose was asleep on the couch beside me, her head resting in my lap. I really hoped he wouldn't wake her when he came in, but he never did. Looked like my brother was getting lucky tonight.
I switched off the movie and carefully picked up Rosie, carrying her up to my bedroom. I laid her gently on the bed and removed her jeans, socks and jewellery, before covering her with the blankets. I stripped down to my boxers and slid in beside her, spooning her close from behind. Sleep claimed me quickly as I snuggled up to the woman I love.
The next morning my dreams were interrupted by an even better reality. Rose was naked and had her mouth on me. My hips involuntarily bucked up off the bed, making her gag a little but she soon recovered. I reached down to brush her hair out of her face and was met with the most erotic scene. Rosalie's lips stretched around me and her eyes were trained on mine, love and lust shining out of them as she held my gaze. I cupped her cheek, making her let me go and I sat up to give her a kiss. "As much as that is the best way to wake up in the morning I want to be in you when I come." I murmured against her lips.
I laid back down, pulling her over top me and loving the sensation of her strong thighs settling either side of my hips. "I love you Rosie." I said, thrusting up into her slick heat making her cry out in pleasure. It wasn't long before she found her rhythm. She sat up straight and used my thighs for leverage as she undulated above me. Her head was thrown back and the strands of her blonde hair tickled my legs. When she started quivering I held onto her hips to help her keep up the pace. "Come on Rosie. Come for me." I grunted, pistoning my hips up into hers. She shattered around me as her orgasm coursed through her. Her inner walls clenched so tight it was almost painful. The feel of it triggered my own earth shifting orgasm and I shot my load onto her, crying out her name as I came. She collapsed on top of me as we both caught our breath.
I held her close and rolled us until I was hovering over her. Staring deeply into her eyes I suddenly became awash with emotion. My breathing hitched and my eyes swam with unshed tears. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked, concern lacing her voice as she stroked my cheek.
"Marry me Rosie?"
"What?" She asked with a bemused smile.
"I mean it. You're the best thing that's ever happened in my life and I can't imagine my life without you in it now. Marry me?"
"You're serious?"
"One hundred percent." I replied, catching her hand and kissing her knuckles. "Please say yes."
"I might just be losing my marbles, but yes. Of course I'll marry you Emmett." Rose dragged me towards her for a kiss which quickly turned into round two of the morning.
We never made it downstairs until early afternoon. Edward and Bella were sitting at our table enjoying some lunch when I stumbled into the kitchen. I decided to tease them both a little.
"There's my husband! Where you been Pookie? My bed was awfully lonely without you in it last night." I grinned, leaning down to plant a kiss on my brothers cheek.
"Eurgh! Gross Emmett! And who told you that?" He growled, wiping off his face while Bella hid her face behind her hands.
"I'm never going to live this down am I?" She said, cheeks flaming red.
"Live what down?" Rosalie asked, padding barefoot into the kitchen wearing nothing but a skimpy pair of shorts and one of my white tee's, which she had tied off at her hip. "Morning Bella."
"Rose? What are you doing here?" Bella asked, mouth gaping open like a fish.
"Well cousin dearest," Rose started as she took a seat next to Bella. "It turns out that your boyfriends brother is my fiancé."
Oh shit. That is not how I wanted to break the news to Edward.
"You're getting married?!" He asked, twisting in his seat to glare at me. "When were you going to tell me? Hell, I didn't even know you were seeing someone. How long have you been together?"
"Since about a week after we moved into this house." I replied sheepishly as I scratched the back of my neck.
"That's been months Em. Why didn't you tell me?" Oh great, now he looked hurt and a little pissed.
"I'm sorry bro. I guess I just wanted to keep something to myself for a while. I never intended to not tell you."
"It's a pleasure to officially meet you Edward." Rose cut in, extending her hand over the table for Edward to shake. "Bella has told me so much about you. I hope you're intentions towards my cousin are pure."
"Pleasure to meet you too." He replied, turning back to face her and shaking her hand. "Are you as much of a ball buster as Bella says you are? And I swear my intentions are one hundred percent pure. Bella is it for me. No other can compare to her."
"Oh Bella I like him. He's definitely a keeper." Rose nudged her cousins shoulder, while Bella made lovey dovey faces at Edward and giggled.
"That he is Rose. That he is." She grinned, leaning over to kiss my brother.
I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as I looked over at my family. My brother and soon to be wife, and possibly my future sister-in-law all sitting around our table laughing and cracking jokes at the others expense. Our dogs curled up on the couch together. Life couldn't get much better.
Trust Emmett to propose straight after morning sex *insert eye roll here*
The next chapter will probably be the last one before the epilogue.
Let me know what you think.
Much love x
