Edward Cullen/owes Emmett a drink

If he weren't an athlete, Emmett would be winded with the amount of time he spends going back and forth between our rooms.

"Tell her I like her eyes."

"Tell him his eyes are incredible."

"Tell her I like her voice."

"Let him know his voice isn't that bad either."

"Ask her if she has a boyfriend."

"Inform him that I do not, and I'm going to guess he isn't dating anyone after the tantrum over Mary Palmer." She giggles.

I get defensive.

"Tell her I'm single as fuck, and I don't know anyone named Mary Palmer."

Emmett chuckles and explains the term.

"Oh. Yeah. Just yeah."

He disappears and relays the message while I feel like a fucking idiot.

"How old is he?"

"Twenty-two ... wait, how old are you?" Emmett asks.

"I'm twenty-four."

Emmett bursts into my room.

"Older woman ... hot." He wags his eyebrows.

My best friend, ladies and gentlemen.
