A/N: Hey! Here is my next chapter! Thank you to my beta! She rocks. Same as always, thanks for reviews.
Disclaimer: I own nothing =[
When they reached Elle's dorm Elle collapsed on her bed and Emmett securely locked the door. He laid next to her and started laughing. Elle slid over to rest her head on his chest.
"What is so funny?" She asked smiling at him.
"Nothing. Just that this is the most exercise I have gotten in a long time." He laughed a little more.
Elle laughed to. "Wow. Well I couldn't tell."
"Thank you but that may be due to the fact that I was carrying you." He smiled.
"No! You were faster than me." she countered.
"Ah but you have heels on." He smirked back.
"So maybe we are both right." She smiled at him as she tilted her head up as his head came down. Emmett couldn't believe he was about to kiss Elle. Then there was a knocking on her door. "Oh come on!" Elle said annoyed as she rolled over. "If it's the press again I am going to scream."
Elle got up and slowly made her way to her door. Who ever it was had the worst possible timing in the world. She opened the door and sighed. "Press?" Emmett asked from the bed.
"No. Worse." Elle said and stepped aside to let Warner walk into her room.
"Emmett?" Warner asked surprised to find his nerdy TA laying on Elle's bed.
"Warner." Emmett replied staring at him. Being this close to Warner made Emmett seriously wonder how Elle could choose him over Warner.
"Why are you here Emmett?" Warner asked rudely.
"I was about to ask you the same." Emmett replied standing up and making his way next to Elle.
"I'm here to talk to my Pooh Bear." Warner replied smugly.
"Well…" Emmett started wrapping his arm around Elle's shoulders.
"Ok boys, calm down." Elle said trying to keep things calm. She pat Emmett's hand as she glanced at Warner. "Why are you here?"
"I thought it would be obvious." Warner smiled.
"Well it's not." Elle said rolling her eyes.
"Well I came to offer you another chance, Pooh Bear." Warner started. "After the trial you were just confused. I understand that. I'm here to let you rethink my offer."
"She's not your Pooh Bear, Warner." Emmett glared. "And what offer?"
"I proposed to Elle." He smiled.
"You what?" Emmett's hand clenched.
"Emmett, it's ok. I said no." Elle said, rubbing Emmett's back soothingly.
"Elle are you serious? You would pick Emmett over me? You stalked me to college!" Warner exclaimed.
"What's wrong with Emmett?" Elle said, defending her new man.
"He's more like a toy to you Elle. You get to play dress up with him. Me though, we get each other. I will become a senator and you can spend your days shopping." Warner told her.
"Hey! You can't talk to her like that. I believe she just won a murder trial. Who do you think is the better lawyer?" Emmett challenged.
Warner scoffed. "She won by luck. Hair knowledge wont win her every case."
"You think…" Emmett started.
"Warner, I think you should leave." Elle cut in. She just wanted the guys to stop arguing over her.
"But Pooh Bear." Warner said sweetly.
"She isn't your Pooh Bear. You broke up with her." Emmett interjected.
"Oh Emmett, one good day at school wont change anything for Elle."
Emmett couldn't come up with a response and just glared at Warner.
"Warner, please. Just go." Elle told him again.
"Fine but call me when your little puppy isn't around." Warner said, smirking as he left Elle's dorm.
When the door shut, Elle collapsed back onto her bed and Emmett stared at the door shocked. He couldn't believe the stuff that Warner had said. Why would he say stuff like that if he wanted Elle back? Emmett just couldn't wrap his head around it. He wanted to believe that Warner was wrong and Elle wouldn't go back to him. Emmett though wasn't sure anymore. Warner had known Elle much longer then he had. Emmett wished he could know for sure but if he asked Elle he would sound jealous or weak or any other negative trait. Emmett decided to suck it up and hopefully Warner was wrong and hopefully his insecurities would surpass.
From her bed Elle looked up at Emmett. He had defended her honor, Elle thought even though it sounded cheesy. No guy had ever stood up for her before. She wasn't used to a guy actually respecting her. She was the typical arm candy girlfriend. That's what she was to Warner and now she could see that. When Warner needed to get ahead, she was a dumb blonde. When she was winning murder trials as a first year law student, she was Pooh bear. Elle couldn't believe Warner would think that after meeting a guy so much better than him,(no pun intended) she would go back to him.
Emmett decided he needed to be by himself to think about everything. He looked over at Elle and smiled at her. "Hey, I am going to head back home. If you need any help with the press, let me know." He told her before walking out of her dorm and leaving Elle confused. She watched the door shut but didn't understand why Emmett would just leave all of a sudden. Especially when in her mind he was her knight in shinning corduroy.
A/N: Chapter 4 is kind of done. May take me longer to upload though. If I get some reviews I may be inspired. I must say the next chapter has little fluff, if any at all.
