Chapter 6: Anger Management
BPOV:
"Great job Bella! I have never sensed Emmett so jealous before." Jasper congratulated.
"Well I do try." I said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Edward asked, entering Jasper's room.
"Um...nothing hon. I'll meet you in our room." I said, Oh smooooth Bella! Real smooth! Ugh!.
"Ok" Edward said, leaving the room.
"Whew Jaz, that was close."
"Tell me about it. We should be more careful." he said.
"I should be getting to Edwards before he gets suspicious."
"Good idea, because the love he brought with him is about to make me jump you."
And with that I left the room in a hurry.
"Hello Edward." I said.
"Hey honey. What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing much. I'm just going to go down into the garage ok?"
"Yeah I think I'm going to play the piano a bit and then we are all going hunting if you want to come."
"Sounds great!" and I left.
Making my way to the garage I passed Jasper in the hall and ,with a wink, he knew what was up.
I stepped through the door leading to the garage, and saw my target.
Emmett was hunched over the jeep in deep concentration, little did he know what was going to happen next. Decked out in my trashy clothes I glided over to were he was.
"Hey Emmett." I said. He jumped a bit.
"Oh...hey Bella."
"Whatcha doin?" I asked, swaying my hips a bit.
"Um working on the jeep."
Ever so slyly I adjusted myself so that I had one hand resting on the jeep.
"Oh! Why is that?" I was trying to keep him distracted.
"Well, I love this thing and I just gave it a new paint job. Now I'm trying to make it faster."
Adding pressure to the place where I was leaning I heard a faint crack. I knew my plan would work.
"That's awesome Em." then with one final push the entire front part of the jeep fell off. I smiled silently to myself.
"OH MY GOD BELLA WHAT THE HELL DID YOU--" he stopped abruptly.
"I'm so sorry Emmett. I haven't gotten used to this strength yet." I said innocently.
He took a deep, unnecessary breath and said "I understand, now if you will excuse me."
Then he shot out of the garage and into the forest. Not seconds later I heard the sound of trees snapping and cars being flipped over. I just sighed and went inside.
I found Edward sitting at the piano playing an unfamiliar tune.
"What's that?" I asked, sitting down next to him on the piano bench.
"The first song I ever wrote as a vampire."
"It's beautiful." I said. And it was.
"I know a better one." he said. And then the melody and harmony of the old song gradually transformed into my lullaby.
I hugged him around his waist and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Do you ever regret it?" I asked.
"What?"
"Meeting me." I said.
"Never." he said.
"Not even when I almost tore you entire family apart when you moved to Denali? Before I knew about you." I asked.
"No." he said.
"Thank you." I said.
"For what?"
"Loving me."
And so we sat there, for what seemed eternity, while my lullaby winded it's way around us and seemed to trap us in the moment.
Then the door bell rang.
"I'll get it!" Alice chimed.
She opened the door to reveal a very distraught Emmett braced with handcuffs.
"Does he belong to you?" asked the cop.
"Nope" all of us said; Edward, me, Alice and Jasper (who had come down the stairs after Alice).
"He's mine." said a very pissed off Rosalie.
"Well next time you let him off his leash, make sure he stays off other people's lawns." said the smart-ass cop standing next to Emmett.
Then the cop took off Emmett's handcuffs and left with a tip of his hat.
"Emmett Cullen!" Rose started to fume.
"I'm sorry baby I just..." his voice trailed off as they headed upstairs, followed by Alice and Jasper.
Edward looked at me with confusion written all over his face.
"He got angry."
