He pulled off his helmet to reveal his face. I held back my gasp of surprise and kept my face blank.
He was gorgeous,with dark hair to make him even more so. He looked at me,appraising me with dark shadowed eyes.
"Are you going to run away from me again?"he asked,cocking his head to the side.
My eyes narrowed. "I didn't run away from you or anyone."I said coldly. He smiled,his smile sent my heart into a pitter patter of loud quick beats.
"Yes you did. You could of stayed to talk to me at the library or here earlier." he said.
I rolled my eyes and got up to leave. He was in front of me in an instant. "Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you."he bristled.
I looked up at him,not showing any fear to him in my eyes. "I thought you were done." I smiled.
"Feisty. I like it."he laughed.
"Yeah,you might like it,but you can't have it."I spat,I tried to walk around him but he moved in my way again.
"Do you need something?"I asked angrily.
"Your name would be nice."he said,leaning closer to me. I stepped back one step.
"You first sweetie."I said,crossing my arms across my chest,trying to warm myself.
A big smile broke out across his face. "Emmett. Emmett Cullen. Your turn sweetie pie."he laughed.
"Well Emmett,nice to meet you. My name is Rosalie. Now good-bye."I said in a very sarcastic voice.
As I stepped around him,he grabbed my arm gently and pulled me to him. He wrapped his arms around me. I stood frozen in the embrace.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"I said in a quivery voice.
"Your cold as ice. I'm not letting you freeze out here. He then picked me up into his arms easily. I sat in his arms,speechless.
"Put me down!"I yelled. I struggled against his hold,but he held me fast and brought me closer to his chest.
"Shh. Calm down sweetie pie."he whispered. His voice calmed me greatly.
"What are you going to do to me?"I asked,my voice becoming filled with fear.
He stopped and looked down at my frightened expression. He smiled a small smile that had pity in it. "Don't worry sweetie pie. I'm not going to hurt you anyway. I'm taking you back to my place so you can get warmed up."he said simply.
That didn't lessen my fear. I started to shiver. He sat me down on the snowmobile and sat in front of me. "Hold on tight sweetie pie,unless you wanna fall off."he said.
I grasped his waist with both my arms and held on with all my strength. Then he started the machine and tore off into the woods.
We rode for about a good 15 minutes until we reached a house in the middle of the woods. It looked homey,and with it covered by snow it looked secluded.
Emmett got off the snowmobile and turned toward me. "Should I carry you in,or do you want to walk?"he asked.
I looked at him and started to shiver from the lack of his warmth. "I wish you left me at the park."I mumbled.
He frowned and grabbed me into his arms. Then he took me into the house.
When we got into the house warmth spread over my overly cold numb skin. I sighed at the feeling of the heat against my skin.
"Like the heat I see."he smiled.
I blushed and smiled. I was surprised at myself. I've never blushed before..that was new.
He set me down on the couch and then sat on the table in front of me. He looked at me,his eyes intense.
The weight of his gaze made me feel self conscious. "What?"I asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing,it's just you're really pretty. But you have bruises all over your body."he said softly.
I stiffened and scooted back on the couch. He smiled and then sat next to me on the couch. He sat a little to close to me. He took my hand gently in his and examined the old yellowing bruise on it.
"Who did this to you Rosalie?"he asked,looking me in the eye.
I looked back at him,tears came to my eyes. He frowned and pulled me to him.
Here I was,in the arms of a strange man that I only new the name of,and in his house too. And crying.
"Shh. It's okay sweetie pie."he cooed softly. He stroked the hair on my head as I sobbed into his shoulder.
I pulled away and started to shiver. "You should take a bath."he said suddenly.
I looked at him. His face was sincere,and pleading that I stay. I nodded absentmindedly. He stood up and drew me up with him.
He picked me up in his arms and walked through his living room down the hall of his house.
He took me to a large bathroom,complete with a huge bathtub,a shower separate from that,and of course it had a toilet and a sink.
"You should take a bath,the shower could warm you up too,but I'd prefer that you'd use the tub to warm you up."he said quietly.
"There are some bubble baths under the sink,you don't have to use them if you don't want too...but if you want you can I guess."he said,avoiding eye contact with me.
When he looked back at me I looked away,and nodded silently. "Okay then...well just call me when you're done."he said,then he left.
I bit my lip and looked back at the door,there was a lock on it.
I walked over to the door and locked the door. Tears immediately fell from my eyes,though the sobs didn't come. Just empty emotionless tears fell from my eyes.
I silently walked over to the tub and turned it on. Though it took me a few minutes how. Steam rose out of the warm water,making it the all more inviting.
I threw in two cap fulls of lilac bubble bath,then I striped out of my clothes and got into the warm water.
Then I got to thinking...why did he have lilac bubble bath...hell why did he have any bubble bath at all? I turned off the water after it got deep enough to cover me and then slid down into the warm water,so it covered my whole body.
As I soaked in the water my body slowly thawed out from the cold that had clung to me from outside. Steam from the bath filled the bathroom,making it foggy and hard to see in. I got my hair wet and used some random shampoo and conditioner that I found lying on the corner of the tub. When I was done I let the water flow down the drain.
I grabbed a fluffy white towel,that matched the rest of the bathroom and dried off. I dried my stomach and hissed with pain. I looked down at it. My jaw dropped with shock and disbelief.
A bruise had bloomed all the way across my stomach,making it various shades of blue and purple,even some parts were black or a sickly brown.
I poked one of the lighter parts on my stomach,only to be hit by waves of pain.
How could he have done this to me in one strike? I bit my bottom lip with hesitation and then looked at the rest of my body.
Bruises covered my arms,legs,torso,and almost everywhere else. All except my neck,and feet.
My face had several deep purple bruises spread out on it. They didn't hurt half as much as my stomach though. But I'm not going to poke them. I actually didn't notice them,until now that is.
I wrapped the towel around my body,it went all the way to my knees. Though it didn't make me anymore comfortable about being in a strange mans house,it made my fears lessen a little bit.
I walked over to the door,and held the towel tighter to my chest when I opened it.
"Emmett?"I called in a cracked voice.
I heard footsteps coming down the long dark hallway,then he appeared in the light. I hid my face from him and faced the wall. He walked over to me and took my hand gently in his large one.
"Come on sweetie pie."he said in a whisper. I blushed when he called me sweetie pie. Why did he call me that? He knew my name already. Was he trying to make me angry or something?
But the strange thing is I actually liked it when he called me that. Made me feel good...in a strange way that was foreign to me of course.
So I walked down a pitch black hallway with a strange man that saved me from freezing to death. Trusting him completely and walking somewhere with him,in the dark,in his house.
