Joking Around
3 weeks after Emmett has been changed.
"Ello govena." I said to Emmett as he was kissing Rosalie. He looked at me and laughed into Rose's mouth.
"Eww! Em! You just spit in my mouth!" She yelled. We just laughed so hard. His booming laugh filled the house of dead with life. I had taught him how to hunt because everyone else was so preoccupied. I wasn't in school cause Carlisle said I wasn't ready and either was Emmett, so we just ended up being with each other during the day while Edward and Rosalie were at school.
"Poppet. Can I please have a cup of tea?" He said in a British accent. I laughed.
"Yes you may master." I said in reply, British accent and all.
"Okay guys you need to get out of my house." Esme said coming into the room. It has been two months since I had been changed and I loved it. Now that Emmett was here. I had someone that actually brought life to a dead life that we had. We went hunting almost everyday, so we made a competition of it. I was winning with the largest animal. Emmett was winning with the biggest herd.
"Why?" We said at the same time.
"Cause. I lived in London with Carlisle and I couldn't stand the accents then, how do you suppose I do now?" She asked us. We just shrugged. It was the weekend, Carlisle was working, Edward and Rose were here but whenever I was by Edward it was just awkward, after that kiss on the balcony. Rose disapproved of all the practical jokes, but everyone just put up with them. Edward came out of his cave he called his room.
"Charlie. I need to go into town. Would you like to come?" Edward asked. I nodded.
"Can I get a lollipop?" I asked, laughing. Emmett got the joke. We both had missed a cherry lollipop the best after the change to no eating.
"No. But you can help me with something. I want you to meet somebody." He said. I got up off the kitchen counter and followed him. He handed me a jacket and by the style I thought it was Rosalie's.
"But I'm not cold."
"It's for show. We would look a bit out of place wearing no jackets." I agreed with him.
"So where are we going to?" I asked. He just started walking toward the car. I followed him. We drove into town. I completely forgot it was December.
"What day is it?' I asked, while looking at the species that I used to be until two months ago.
"December 20." He said parking the car.
"Really? That means I was changed two months ago this day." I said trying not to look surprised.
"It's okay to be surprised. You have been loaded with a lot information. You do lose track of time. It happens." He said patting my shoulder. We were going Christmas shopping.
"What are we going?" I asked him. We made our way into the general store. There was this well-built boy who had skin that was such a bronze color, you could melt him and he would turn into caramel. I laughed at the thought. Edward gave me a puzzled look. I told him mentally that I would tell him later. He went in the opposite direction. I knew he got the message. I went to the boy. I needed an excuse just to talk to him. I tell him he looked like someone I knew. I just had to hear his voice. I went up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me." I said politely. He turned around, and saw me. He was so adorable; he had little boy qualities to him. He just was cute and playful. I got that just by looking into his eyes.
"Um. I can't remember." I said softly.
"Oh. Are you new to town?" He asked.
"Yeah. Just moved." I said looking around for Edward. I didn't know how much not to say.
"Huh. I saw you come in with Edward Cullen. You his girlfriend?" He said.
"Me? Edward's girlfriend?" I laughed. I had to make something up.
"What?" He said. He looked a bit sad, like he lost a fight for something.
"I'm Edward's cousin. Esme is my aunt. I am living with them for the time being." I said. Oh yeah, I'm quick with the lies. I heard footsteps behind me. They sounded familiar, it was Edward.
"Hey. I see you have met my cousin." He said looking at me.
"Yeah. She's nice." The unknown boy said to me. He took my hand.
"Charlotte. This is Billy Black." Edward said. Billy kissed my hand. I felt a sting in my body.
