EmPOV
Her chocolate eyes shone brightly as her smile. She was happy which was obvious; I watched the girl I secretly pinned for embrace my brother and my teeth clenched in response. How could she love him? He was so uptight, and he rejected her on a daily basis which I couldn't fathom. Bella Swan was far from beautiful in fact she was beyond it. I didn't see how Edward could deny her anything she wanted and all she wanted was him. I had to bite my tongue to keep from growling. He was a fool, especially for someone so smart. I am getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.
My name is Emmett Cullen, and I am a vampire. My entire family was vampires. And the oldest of us siblings Edward Cullen was in love with the human I desired Bella Swan. When Bella moved to Forks, Washington we all knew things would be different, but we didn't know the affect she would have on all of us. It was the first time we seen Edward smile, and it made all of us happy once again. She belonged with our family. Plus, she was funny as hell! Time went on and she and Edward became closer she also became closer with each of us in our own way. She loved Alice but people didn't have any other choice when it came to my pixie sister. She had this energy and air about her that made you want to talk to her and laugh, with her. Carlisle and Esme became Bella's adoptive parents as well; Bella seemed to really love that seeing as she hardly talks to her parents. She loved Edward, and wanted to be apart of his life forever including being a vamp, but Mr. High and mighty didn't want her to become one. Whatever. Sometimes I wanted to slap that dude. Anyway, Rosalie, my wife hated Bella. She didn't think Bella was making the right choice to become a vampire. I would tell her that it was Bella's choice to make and not hers, but that just led to an argument that I didn't want to have. And to me, Bella became my escape. In a loveless marriage, where it wasn't 'appropriate' for me to joke around any more, where every night we fought and we weren't even having make-up sex like before. But then Bella would come in and make me laugh and her whole entire aurora made me smile. Bella had a seriously silly side that not even Edward knew about. We would spend hours laughing and telling stupid and inappropriate jokes to each other. I was falling in love with my brother's mate.
I was glaring into the soul-less eyes of the devil and she glared back right into mine. Her arms were crossed across her chest and her foot was tapping rhythmically against the wood floor. Her jaw clenched as we continued our stare down, mentally taking in how far we were ready to push each other tonight. I didn't notice that she was standing there in this black lace thing from Victoria's Secret and red pumps, for the first time Rosalie was unattractive to me. In fact she was down right ugly at this moment.
"Well?" She growled flipping her blonde hair.
I scoffed, she thought she was some fucking queen of the world but she wasn't even close.
"I will not end my friendship because you're jealous Rose." I answered her with a snarl.
She growled and picked up a lamp on a nearby nightstand. Then everything happened in slow motion as if I were having a vision like Alice. She tossed the lamp square at my head and I jumped up in the air as it's smashed the wall right where I had been previously standing. Landing gracefully on the balls of my feet I was seeing red, I ran up to her but before I could wrap my hand around her neck Edward was pushing me against the wall.
"No, let him go! He's big and bad, hit me fucker!" She spat.
I growled and then I felt calm. I sighed and looked over Edward's shoulder to see Jasper. He was a mood manipulator. He could change anyone's mood to whatever he wanted. Alice was by his side with a frown on her face, shaking her head at Rose. I hated when Alice was upset, she was scary when she was. I was grateful for her visions though, I am positive that if she hadn't seen this I would've killed Rose. I looked at the broken shards of the lamp that we had picked out for our room and then back at Rose. This was our life.
"Let's go for a walk Emm." Edward said finally letting his death hold go.
I shook my head at him snatching away from him. "No I'm good." I scowled at the room. It seemed much smaller now that five vampires were in it. The red painted walls screamed at me to get out as soon as I can, I never felt like I was being held captive by these walls until right now. That everything about this room was holding me back. The king size bed that me and Rose never used anymore. The dresser that held our clothes that sat side by side, like we used too. Rose was now leaning against the wall her, still in her defensive pose. She looked like a statute, her eyes trained on the floor awaiting the lashing she would soon receive from if not Edward and Alice then Jasper. She knew she was wrong but she would never admit that or apologize.
Tell me again why I loved her? I couldn't answer that question anymore and it killed me. I felt a breeze and a scent caressed my nose, my head whipped toward the window as the curtain blew with the gentle wind. Time to make my daring escape to the gentle laugh of Bella. I ran at vamp speed jumping from the window. Landing right in front of Bella's truck on my feet. She gasped and jumped a little and I chucked.
"Emmett you scared me!"She breathed heavily while turning her truck off. I was in her car before she could pull the key out the ignition.
"What's wrong?" She asked her hand gently stroking my cheek. Letting out the sigh I was holding in I leaned against her palm.
"Rose and I had another fight." I said quietly. It was just us in that dark car. No one could hear us no one could bother us or interrupt us and I was glad for that. I needed this time with her even if it was just five minutes.
"Oh Emmett." She sighed as if she could feel my hurt and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her tiny waits and held her close. She rested her head on my shoulder and played with the hair on the nape of my neck.
"Edward and I did too." She whispered.
"Why?" I asked ribbing small circles on her lower back. I wanted to touch her skin, to caress her gently and her same my name the same way she said his.
"You know why." She groaned and buried her face in my neck. "I am not good enough for him." She said muffled by my neck.
"Bullshit. Edward is a fool to not want you that way." I replied without thinking I had to cover that so I said "Rose tried to seduce me tonight."
She pulled away from me with a raised eyebrow. I could see the amusement playing in her eyes. "Oh? Details please Emm." She said getting comfortable in my lap.
I had to control myself from pressing my lips to her and taking her right here in this car. "Well she brought this black lace thingy." I started rolling my eyes. "Its stupid honestly, anyway I walk into the room and she is standing there with this look of pure disgust on her face." I growled at the thought replaying in my mind. She was such a fucking bitch.
"And…. Why did she look like she just looked into the mirror?" Bella asked.
I laughed shaking my head. Bella was a trip.
"What if she is a bitch then she must look like one right? It only makes sense." She explained with a sigh "Continue."
"Well she saw the pictures that we took at the mall a couple of weeks and she wanted me to stop being your friend." I explained.
Her face went red for a second then back to its regular color. "Why the fuck does she hates me so much?" Bella yelled.
Whoa, angry Bella. Hot. Very fucking hot. "Jealous." I replied simply.
"Of our friendship?' She calmed down looking at me her fingers now trailing up and down my neck. Her soft skin on my cold hard skin felt so good, so gentle and loving.
"Rose and I were never as close as we are Bells." I whispered.
The air got heavy and anxious, as she looked at me whilst biting her lip. Bella, dammit don't tease me, that lip should be sucked into my mouth right now. Fuck, were we having a moment. Don't ruin it Emmett.
"Really?' She whispered while her fingers now ranked gently through my locks.
I couldn't do anything but nod. What the fuck was happening right now? Fuck it I wasn't going to ruin this.
"Say something Emmett please" She begged her eyes searching mine.
What was I supposed to say? That I am pinning for you, that I want to kiss you, that if you shift on my lap you would be introduced someone that is very eager to meet you.
"What do you get when you cross Bella and Emmett?" I asked my fingers trailing her spine.
She arched her back as a slight moan escaped her mouth.
"One hell of a good time." She answered with a bright smile.
I matched her grin and pulled her closer to my chest.
"This is wrong." She whispered trailing her fingertips down my chest.
"But it feels so right." I countered.
She gasped and straddled my waist, moaning as her core made contact with my hard cock.
I heard something shuffle outside and quickly moved Bella to her seat hopping out the car.
"Emmett." Alice said.
Fuck. My. Life.
"Sup Ali?" I said nonchalantly
"Don't you dare Emmett." She looked up at me with piercing eyes.
"What?" I asked dumbfound
"You know what. If you want her then you wait mister man! Got it?" She snarled poking my chest.
"Okay okay! I promise. Jeez, chillax pixie." I held up my hands in defeat as I saw Edward running towards the car.
"Block your thoughts." Alice whispered in a harsh tone.
I hated that Edward could read minds, and that he was jealous type. If he wasn't I could think anything I damned well please about fucking the shit out of Bella. Hard and long. All night. Making her scream my name the way he was to chicken shit to do.
"Hey love." He said watching me closely while helping Bella out of her truck. She scoffed and pulled away from him walking up to me and Alice. She hooked arms with Alice and looked up at me with big eyes. I felt the same way, robbed lost hurt and incomplete.
"We need to talk." Bella whispered to Alice.
They disappeared into the house and Edward watched me closely, as I walked around to the front of her car and leaned on it.
"Things will get better Emmett." He said standing next to me. His voice lacked the compassion I was used to form him. Maybe it was because I almost fucked Bella right in front of the house.
"Yeah? When?" I scoffed walking away back into the house.
Rose was sitting on the couch her back ramrod straight as she stared into space.
"Emmett, I am leaving." She said silently.
My jaw dropped and I felt apart of my flutter away. Rose was the only thing I knew. Yeah she was a bitch but she was my bitch. She saved my life and was my heart.
"I can't fight anymore. I guess I always knew I was leaving." She continued while standing walking over to me.
"Rose I don't know who I am without you." I responded, taking her hands in mine.
She looked at her hands then kissed my cheek. "That's why I have to go. I already spoke to Carlisle. Goodbye my bear." She said letting go of my hand walking to door grabbing the suitcase and walking out of my life.
I watched the wood door for hours hoping that she would come back. I didn't think of how numb I would feel when she left. How much I would miss her smile even miss our fighting. Great now I was the one in the family without the mate. I wondered if I would be the new Edward. Lonely sad brooding. I shuddered at the thought; no I could never be like that. It wasn't me at all.
I felt a hand touch my back and my head whipped around. Carlisle was standing there with a look of sadness and compassion on his face.
"Emmett I am sorry." He stated sadly.
I shrugged. "You have no reason to be sorry Dad. She left on her own." I sighed walking to the couch and sitting down "What am I supposed to do without her?" I asked mostly to myself. Carlisle sat next to me placing his hand on my back.
"It will be hard son but we are here for you." He said quietly. Such a dad answer. Not really telling you what you have to do but enough to know you aren't alone. I hugged him, "Thanks Dad."
I walked up to our room to see that it looked the same but she had cleaned up the broken lamp. I knew all her things were gone but I didn't no I couldn't look in the closet or dressers. Just looking at the vanity that was emptied of her shampoos make-up and perfumes made my insides sting with the fact that the person I thought I would spend forever with was gone. This day couldn't possibly get even worse.
I lied.
I heard a squee from Alice and I popped up running into the living room. "What?" I asked.
Bella was blushing profusely on the couch and Edward was mumbling something under his breath. Alice grinned over at me and I shook my head confused. What the fuck was going on?
"Bella is moving in!" Alice jumped up and down
"Wait...what?" Great just fucking great. My girl leaves me and the girl I was confused about was moving in. How was I supposed to control myself with her next to me all day everyday?
"Fucking killer Bells!" I put on my bravest face decided to be happy Emmett for everyone. She looked up with the biggest grin I ever seen on Bella's face.
"This will be awesome Emm!" She said excitedly hopping up and hugged me tight.
I laughed as much as I could and hugged her back. "Hey do you want to hang out for a bit?' I asked her.
She looked back at Edward and he nodded. "I need a hunt with Jazz anyway. I have to break the news to him. You two have a good time. "He said, getting up walking out the room. She bit her lip and I took her hand walking her to the garage.
"I'm sorry about Rose." She said gently.
"No. You will not apologize for her. It us Bells. Emmett and Bella remember?" I smiled
"One hell of a good time." She replied squeezing my hand. I opened the Jeep door for her and picked her up placing in the seat. While lifting her I got a perfect view of her ass. I wanted to smack it to rub suck and lick all over that thing. She giggled once she sat down as if she could read my mind. I closed her door before running off to the driver's side.
"Where we going?" She asked turning on my radio.
I shrugged. "For a drive, or does Edward have you on a curfew?" I grinned poking her side before pulling out the garage.
"Emmett Emmett, tsk tsk." She said shaking her head.
"What bells?" I asked.
"You should know by now that I am my own woman." She grinned.
"Oh? Please Bella; you can't even fart wrong without Fuckward on your case." I said half jokingly. It was true. He watched her like a hawk and if she did anything he didn't agree with it was fucking World War three. She couldn't joke around with him or anything.
"Hey I take offensive to that. I am an adult I do what I want Emmy!" She pouted.
I raised an eyebrow at her, to test this theory but how? Then it hit me.
"Then if you really are an adult your own women prove it." I smirked as the plan raced through my head.
"Fine. But let's make this interesting. A nice wager if you will." She smirked deviously as she rubbed her hands together.
"Name it sweet cheeks." I laughed
"If I go through with whatever plan you have in your head you have to be my slave for two count 'em two weeks and vice versa." She leaned over and captured my ear in between her teeth whispering "Think you can handle that?"
I groaned. "Of course Miss Swan. I can handle anything we throw at me. Now the plan is that you stay with me in Seattle for a week. Just me and you. Tell Edward whatever you want I don't care but you have to take this vacation with me." I said looking at her now to get her reaction. I thought she would be shocked or even upset but she just smiled and took out her phone.
"Edward, hey." She said into the receiver. She listened for a moment before rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"I'm fine everything is fine." She groaned. "Look I need a vacation Emmett is taking me to the airport to see my mom for two weeks." She lied smoothly.
I laughed under my breath a bit.
"No really you don't have to come. I just miss my mom." She said.
She rolled her eyes for a second time and handed me the phone. Fuck.
I took the phone. "Yo bro." I said.
"Emmett will you be staying in Phoenix with Bella?" He asked.
"No, I am going to go somewhere to clear my head. I can't be there right now." I said.
"I don't know what's going on with Bella lately." He sighed in my ear.
"Nothing is wrong with her Edward. Fuck! Can she breathe without you getting your thong in a bunch? She needs a break that's it. Everyone likes their own space from time to time." I scolded him
"You're right. I will see you both when you get back." He said.
"Yeah later." I hung up and put her phone in my glove box locking it up.
"No interruptions." I said smirking at her.
"So give me yours, I will hide it somewhere you can't find." She stuck her tongue out at me and I laughed handing her my phone.
She took the phone her fingers brushing past mine which made her shudder. She looked down at our hands them smiled.
'You okay over there Bells?" I asked letting go of the phone looking back at the road.
"I just hadn't felt that in a long time?" She whispered blushing looking down.
"What my cold skin?" I asked.
"No that spark. Edward used..." Her voice trailed off as she turned her head out the window. She and Edward's relationship was falling apart I guessed. From the way she always seemed annoyed with him, and honestly I couldn't blame her. Don't get me wrong I love Edward. When he is playful and wrestles with me and plays XBOX 360 with me, not when he's controlling and brooding and angsty. I took Bella's hand in mine and gently kissed it.
"I know what you mean. Edward can be the anti-fun sometimes but trust me Bells he loves you and he has your best interest at heart." I said.
Bullshit!" She snatched her hand away and glared at me. "I am not a child and he is not my father! He wants to put me in this safe little bubble to 'protect' me but I can't grow if he does that! And this whole no sex bullshit! Oh kiss my pale ass Edward! I know what I want and I know the consequences of asking for it. It's not like I sit around and think Oh how am I poor human Bella Swan is going to fuck up perfect Edward Cullen's life today? I didn't ask for anything for him beside him to give me his all! Mind body and soul which he does have whether he believes it or not! He expects me to just open my mind up to him and my heart and yet he can't do the same when I ask him for one thing. I have been a virgin for my entire life and I love him and want him to want it. To want me." She sighed and sat back in her seat. "I can't love him if he pushes me away. He thinks he isn't rejecting me, but tell my heart that. His actions say otherwise." She bit her lip as the tears fell and I couldn't stand it anymore. I pulled the car over and pulled her into my arms. She buried her face in my chest and started to cry. "It's okay Bella."
"This is why I like being around you Emmy. You make me laugh and you're not afraid to be close to me. I can talk to you about anything and you just listen give me advice then make a stupid joke just to get me to laugh. You're awesome and Rose is a fool." She rambled playing with a button on my shirt.
I looked down at her running my fingers through her brown hair. Her hair was so soft. I closed my eyes enjoying her strawberry shampoo scent. Her arms found their way around my waist she hugged me tight, and my nose found its way into her hair inhaling deeply and exhaling with a sigh. She smelled amazing and I couldn't get enough of her. She lifted her head with a quirked brow. "You vampires and this smelling me shit has got to stop. It's fucking creepy." She exclaimed with a smile playing on the corner of her lips.
"Well Bells you smell good and it does more to me than make me want to bite you." I explained.
"Well what else does it make you want to do?' She asked while unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt.
"It makes me want to be as close to you as possible." Okay so that was vague answer but I was confused at the moment. This was the second time Bella was in my lap within an hour's time. She was flirting with me and I liked it. But in the back of my head a voice kept whispering "Rose". I wished it would shut the hell up. Bella shifted in my lap and kissed my cheek.
"When you have a better answer let me know big guy." She sighed.
Whoa she was right, Bella was not the girl she was when she was first moved to Forks. She was no longer shy or insecure in fact she was total opposite. She was excited about life and waiting to explore the possibilities that it offered. She was secure in her sexuality and in herself. She knew what she wanted and was not taking no for an answer. I liked this Bella. A lot. I smirked as I started the car again driving towards Seattle. She tapped her fingers on her thigh bobbing her head to a beat in her head. I couldn't help but smile over at her as she started to hum.
"What?" She blushed
"Nothing babe. I was just listening to you." I replied.
"To me hum? Okaayyyyy." She said.
I turned on a CD that Rose left in the Jeep. FM Static Critically Ashamed, I know it's girly but that song Tonight is one of my favorites. I turned to that song and she gasped. "I love this song Emmett." She whispered.
"So sing it Bella." I challenged her.
She bit her lip contemplating whether she should sing or not, I decided to push her a little.
"You know you don't have too. You can stay in that bubble that Edward puts you in, or you can grow and get over the shyness that traps you inside yourself?" I mulled that over in my head. "Yeah that makes sense, I think." I said shaking my head. She giggled and then started to sing. My heart swelled as she hit every note perfectly. She was the perfect rock singer. I wondered if she could play an instrument. Bella Swan could be a rock star.
"Bella you rock!" I exclaimed.
"Your just saying that Emmett." She blushed.
"Am not. Dude you can be rock star!" I really meant that. Her voice was extraordinary.
I pulled up in front of the hotel and she blushed. "Dropping the subject and starting a new one…hotel Emmett?" She asked.
I chuckled. "What did you expect Bell-A? Come on we have a suite reserved here." I said getting out the Jeep.
"Ahh Mr. Cullen Welcome back." The valet said as I handed him my keys.
"Good to be back James." I smirked.
Bella's eyebrow was raised the entire time we walked inside and onto the elevator. It was raking everything in me not to laugh at her quizzical expression. We went into the presidential suite and she gasped. When you walked in your eyes were drawn to the two columns that resembled that of ancient Greece. Continuing with that theme the high ceiling in the living area had a painting of Zeus and Hera along with all the other God and Goddesses. The couch that sat in the middle of the living area was a sandy brown cloth texture with multi-colored throw pillows on it. The couch wrapped around the living room and on both ends of the couch was chaise lounge chairs. Mounted on the wall was my favorite piece of furniture, 92 inch flat screen plasma HD TV complete with DVD player Blu-ray player and 7.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. I grinned as Bella walked further into the living area. "Yeah I know right, awesome." I said.
She didn't answer but kept on walking touching the couch as she walked by with a look of pure glee on her face. She continued into the bathroom which was complete with a Jacuzzi bathtub and a dual shower, his and her sinks and an automatic toilet. Her smile grew wider as she walked into the bedroom. My heart swelled with her smile. I haven't seen her happy in a long time it made me feel really special that I was the one that put that smile on her face. She ran and jumped on the king size bed, with a sigh. I laughed and leaned against the door frame watching her. The giant comforter was swallowing her all I could hear was her giggling. "Too soft!" She exclaimed. I laughed and she bounced herself up snuggling a pillow. "But perfect." She smiled over at me.
"Yes it is." I grinned walking over the bed.
"Oh don't even act shy Emmett. Get in here and cuddle with me!" She demanded
I chuckled and unbuttoned my shirt taking it off. Her eyes grew wide then as she propped herself up on her arm. "Emmett my God you are a-a- a God." She said moving to the edge of the bed. She lifted her hand and her fingertips brushed my chest. I loved her soft gentle touch. It was so erotic yet so simple at the same time.
"You can't be scared sweetie." I said grabbing her wrist pushing her hand flat on my chest. Her entire face turned red before she got to her knees trailing her hand down to my abs. "Jesus Emmett. She whispered moving closer. That one simple movement had turned me on more than Rose ever did. I couldn't stand it anymore. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her chest to mine. I watched her eyes dart to my lips and back to my eyes. I knew she wanted the same thing I did. I brushed my lips past hers and she sighed happily before pressing her soft lips to mine. Our lips moved in sync for a moment before she opened her mouth. I slid my tongue into her mouth tracing her tongue with my own. She moaned in response before her tongue sprang to life and tangled with mine. She tasted so sweet. She bit down on my bottom lip and tugged at it her eyes opening to find me staring back into her eyes. She pulled back and laid on the bed. She had the sexiest look I ever seen. Her chocolate eyes were smoldering with lust. She wanted me and I had to say she was look delicious sitting laying there waiting for me. I climbed on top of her and she wrapped her legs around my waist. Her Hips slowly moved against my hard cock. I groaned and moved against her slowly. "Oh jeez Emmett" She moaned breathlessly. The way she said my name made me want to fuck her hard but I couldn't not for her first time. I heard the hotel room phone ring and I groaned. "Don't Emmett please." She begged me. "I have too Bells it could be important." I said kissing her neck gently. I was mentally cursing myself as I answered the phone with a gruff "Hello."
"Don't do it Emm." Alice said.
"What the fuck? Do I need you to babysit me now?" I growled.
"No you don't but I am telling you if you do this now you will regret it and so will Bella. Please Emmett think of her." She cried into the receiver.
I looked over at Bella and sighed. Alice was right. If Bella wanted me she would have to leave Edward. I couldn't hurt my brother like that. It would crush him. "Your right. Thanks for having my back." I said quietly.
"I am always right Emm and I will always be there to catch you right before you fall. Love you big bro." She said before hanging up.
I place the phone in the cradle and looked at Bella. Her knees was up to her chest and her head was down as she quietly sobbed. Dammit, why did I have to make her cry?
"It's me Emm." She whispered into her arms knowing I could hear her just fine.
"What do you mean Bells?" I asked.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I love Edward. It's a rough patch so that means I go out and try to fuck his brother? God I am horrible." She said.
I shook my head , poor Bells. I could tell she was confused in her head and her heart. "I think you should go talk to Edward. There's so much on your mind there's no way I can give you advice on it. I mean Rose left me and I have no idea who I am without her." I confessed. I sat in the chair in the corner and sighed heavily. I didn't know what to do, should I call her? Should I try to move on? I was lost and hurt. I ran my fingers through my hair as I stared at the carpeted floor waiting for Bella to say something anything to break the silence. My mind wouldn't shut up. I guess you never really realize how much you love someone until they are gone. I heard Bella walk over to me and kiss the top of my head. "I will see you when you get back Emmy." She said. And with that she was gone.
I was alone yet again. Repeating my earlier sentiment, fuck my life.
After a couple of hours in that position I stood up and walked over to the phone. I hesitated thinking if I should really go through this well fuck it. I dialed Rose's number.
"Rosalie speaking." Her angelic voice answer
"Rosebud." I said quietly.
"Bear." She sighed back.
"I miss you." I whispered.
"Emmett I miss you too but I need time and space." She replied her voice shaken.
"Rose I can't do this without you. I'm depressed. Me! Depressed." I sighed.
"Emmett I will call you later. I need to think." She said hanging up. Well that went well. I decided to suck it up and go back home I had nowhere else to go.
