HEY Y'all!!! Today was the first day of school..for me at least..and I finally got a chance on the comp so yay!!! This chapter has some fluff in it…no drama.

Previously:

He scoffed. "Baby, had I known you had such a voice I would have asked you. But Alice only told me this morning you would end up singing with me."

I jumped into his open arms. "I've missed you so much!"

"I've been dying inside." He answered, pained by the memories. But then he grinned; "Now I feel whole again."

"That's exactly how I feel." I murmured into his chest.

"Did I mention you look sexy and hot this evening darling?"

I felt my cheeks heating. "Thanks, it was all Alice's doing."

He let out a booming laugh. "I'll have to thank her."

"What would you like to do?" I asked, Emmet was leaning against his Jeep casually, I could see the huge grin on his face even if it was pitch black out.

"Hey, how about we go home? I moved into my new room and Esme has been dying to see you."

"Yeah. I'd like that." He carried me into the car and set me softly on the seat. We drove at 65mph, slow for him. Slow for me too. I wasn't used to this speed. "Um, Emmet, is there a reason we're driving so slow?" I could actually see the Sitka spruces instead of the usual flashes of green.

He sped up. "I thought you preferred when I drove slow." He stared at me incredulously.

I shook my head and laughed. "Being with vampires had to rub off on me sometime. I even like shopping now." I took a deep breath. "Sort of."

"You changed in three weeks…A lot."

I smiled tentatively, "Well…I did a lot of thinking. I want to make you happy." I kissed his cold shoulder. With one hand on the wheel and one arm around me, he kissed my neck hungrily.

"You don't have to change for me B. You're perfect the way you are."

"It's ok." I knew how much he liked me like this. "I like it this way too,"

We finally came to a halt in front of the Cullen mansion. I saw a light on in the kitchen. I stepped into the house behind Emmet.

"Mom, we're home." He spoke loudly. His voice was so typical of a teenager, I would have been fooled had I not been in on the secret.,

"Bella, dear, so wonderful to have you back." Esme hugged me and I felt a sudden pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry Esme."

"It's ok, Bella."

Emmet pulled my arm. "I'm going to show her my new room, Esme." She nodded and he pulled me up the stairs.

I stepped into his room and gasped in surprise. Everything was in black and white. Gone were the racecar posters and video games lining the walls. It was blank. My eyes shot to the only color thing in the room. It was a blown up picture, in a frame 40x40. It was the picture of the two of us at the beach, the first in the series. We were laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my cheeks, in a beautiful way and Emmet's face was glowing with joy. The wind was in our faces and the waves were crashing behind us.

I fingered the portrait gently. "It's beautiful Emmet. But who took it?" I had never seen this photo, all the others were poses.

He smiled, "I had a photographer come and take pictures au naturel." I slapped him in the arm.

"Shame on you." My fingers brushed together to do the motion.

Emmet laughed. A laugh I hadn't heard in weeks, the laugh of angels. Then I noticed the tiny 4x6s around it. "Oh, these are pretty too." Every single picture we had ever taken was there. My heart skipped a beat. Some were only of me. I blushed; it was like a wall of worship.

He kissed my forehead; "I needed something to remember you by for those three long, long weeks."

"Sorry about that." I mumbled, those hadn't been exactly "wonderful days" for me either.

"Well, we're together now, that's what's important, right?"

"I guess." I admitted reluctantly. It wasn't fair that I had hurt him that much.

"Hey Em?" We had been laying on his huge four-poster king bed; I lifted my head slightly so I could see his face.

"Hmm?" I was lying on top of him, he was stony and cold, but somehow so warm I could stay like this forever, with a blanket of course.

"Do you want to play a video game?" I blushed.

"Seriously?"

"Yea." I muttered. "I thought you liked video games." I was truly confused. Almost every time I had come over with Edward, Emmet was playing.

"Yes, but I didn't think you liked them."

"Oh," I asked in surprise, "Is the King of Games afraid of lil' old me?" I bat my eyelashes.

"No, of course not." He growled dubiously.

"Hm," I snorted. "We'll see about that." I ran out of the room laughing with Emmet at my heels.

"Gotcha." He had his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Hey, no fair." I complained. "You can't run at vampire speed, its no fun." We were both laughing.

Edward poked his head out of his door, a murderous expression on his face, "Will you two just shut up already, I'm trying to work."

Emmet snorted, "On what bro? The Morose Life of Edward Cullen? " Emmet laughed. And Edward scowled.

"Emmet!" I scolded. "Apologize right now." I commanded.

"Bella, I was just kidding."

"I don't care apologize now!" I repeated, fire in my eyes. Edward smirked at Emmet.

"Sorry" he mumbled, looking down.

"Thank you," I nodded,, finally content. I didn't want to hurt Edward more than necessary. "And we're sorry. Let's go Em." I grabbed Emmet's hand and he followed me down the stairs. Edward slammed the door with a bang that would have cracked the door.

Emmet blew the dust off the game cube. "Haven't played with this in a while." He said.

"I know, " I replied, "That's why I wanted to play. And I am soo going to win." I smiled evily.

"Yeah, sure Bella." He rolled his eyes. Emmet passed me the control. "We're playing Grand Prix 2."

"Sure." I agreed.

I chose the 2007 red Ferrari and he chose the black Lamborghini. The screen flashed,

Ready!

Set!

Go!

Emmet's car went speeding off with me on its tail. I fell behind in the 3rd lap. "Still think you can beat me?" He asked, an evil smile playing on his face.

"Yup." I answered, deeply concentrated. I pressed hard on the x key and the car shot forward. I passed the Lamborghini and Emmet stared at me incredulously.

After 50 laps the screen flashed again.

WINNER!!!

RED FERRARI!

I jumped up and down, letting the controller drop out of my hands. "I won!" I kissed Emmet gently. "I guess your not the King anymore, hon. " I whispered seductively.

"No, I let you win."

"Yeah sure." I rolled my eyes like he had. "Admit it, Emmet darling, I WON!"

Edward came down the steps and stared at the screen and blinked. He imitated Emmet's voice perfectly, "Oh, Bro you got served!" I laughed and high fived Edward.

It seemed like we were now friends, nothing more and it felt good, like my heart was finally at peace.
