Last Chapter...
I pulled over on side of the dirt road as soon I was out of sight from Jacob's house and dialed Alice's number.
Chapter Seven – Just One More Game
Bella POV
"Hey Bella I was about to call you I have the best news ever!" Alice excited voice squealed and I sniffled. "What's wrong Bella are you ok?"
"Can I come over Alice," I said through my sobs.
"If you can drive come on over but if you can't tell me where you are so I can pick you up," she said with worry. I told her I was in La Push. There was no way I could drive crying this hard.
15 minutes later a big jeep pulled up. Emmett was driving Alice hopped out quickly yanking my door open. She pulled me out of the car into a hug as I cried.
"Shh, shh its ok Bella I'm here," Alice said. "What happened?"
"Jacob…" I cried.
Alice waved to her brother and he started to drive away. "Get in the passenger seat I'm driving your car to my house." I nodded and climbed into the passenger seat and Alice into the driver's seat of my car. Alice knew me well and didn't say anything until I was ready to speak. As we exited La Push border I opened up.
"I came over this afternoon to his house. He was making out with a girl on top of my comet," I told her and hiccupped. "She's his girlfriend and she was really pretty Alice. They were all over each other…" I felt the tears start up again. "He asked if I wanted to tag along with them to summer fair. I told him I didn't want to be a third wheel and he asked me to bring me you. What I don't get it why I'm so upset. He is just my friend. It's not suppose to be like this."
Alice stiffened next to me.
"What Alice?" I asked her.
"Nothing."
I growled. "You're lying to me Alice. Spill."
Alice sighed, "Jasper asked me to the summer fair."
I felt like a horrible friend. "It's ok I'll just stay home and tell him I'm sick or something because I seriously will be sick watching those two all night."
Alice gave me a look. That creepy one when she was planning something. "Well how about Emmett take you?"
"WHAT? No way in hell Alice," I said harshly.
"He has been asking about you all day," Alice told me with a grin. "If you two got married we would be sisters!"
Alice has lost it. I laughed. "Fat chance of that happening Alice!"
"I have a feeling you two could be really good for each," Alice shrugged.
I know I said never bet against Alice but this time I felt like I should. No way in Emmett Cullen and I would ever get along.
A memory suddenly surfaced.
I was walking to school when I heard across the street, "Hey you ugly fat girl.". It was Tyler one of Cullen's groupies. I ignored him and kept on walking. "I heard your parents are splitting up. Probably because of money problems right? Buying too much food trying to feed your fat ass!" I started to cry at the thought of my parent's pending divorce and I heard a group of kids laugh.
The whole gang was there now.
Emmett looked mad then he hit Tyler, knocking him on the ground and told him shut the hell up. Emmett looked across the street at my pale tear stained face and mouthed 'sorry'.
I had shrugged it off then thinking it was a fluke.
Maybe there was more to Emmett Cullen than I thought.
Emmett POV
Alice came to me telling me Bella needed help and didn't explain anything to me. We drove to La Push and I thought maybe she hit an animal since her car was parked on the side of the road.
Alice practically ripped Bella's door open and she was sobbing in her arms. My heart skipped a beat and I was about to get out when Alice waved me away for me to go home. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I drove out of La Push. I shouldn't have left I should have tried to help with Alice with Bella.
Why do you care? A voice in the back of my mind asked.
I didn't know why I cared about this girl that had been punching me in the face in kindergarten. Maybe guilt. Isabella Swan was the one person who has ever hit me and has gotten away with it. Regret seeped through me as I thought of my childhood antics of bullying her. I couldn't go through with the bet with Edward. I'll just give him a $100 and tell him it was a mistake. I sighed and felt for my cell phone. Damn I must have left it at home. As soon as I reached the house and walked in, Andrea was waiting giving me a stern look.
"Emmett go out back and clean that mess you and your friends left," She told me.
Andrea was always on me to clean up after myself. Aunt Esme always picked up after Edward and I, I never really realized what big of a mess we left until Andrea had me pick up after myself.
I nodded and headed out to the pool.
Bella POV
We arrived at Alice's house and she had me call my father asking if I could spend the night at Alice's. The little pixie had won him over yesterday and he didn't mind if I spent the night. It was better than hanging out with Jacob, since he was a boy.
Alice came out with some shorts and a tank top. Seeing how Alice was smaller than me it looked like booty short and the tank top showed a little of my belly. It fit but it was just too short.
I looked out the window and looked down to see the pool area lighted up and Emmett carrying a trash bag cleaning up. I excused myself to the bathroom; I had just closed the door when I heard Emmett talking on the phone as he walked up the stairs and into the hallway. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I couldn't help myself as my head leaned in close to the door to try and hear better.
"Look… Edward the deal if off. I'll give you a $100. I can't do it. Bella Swan is not the kind of girl. I'm not going to do try to sleep with her. Yeah and? We were stupid kids back then Ed we can't keep hurting people's feelings for the enjoyment of it. What? Ok whatever screw you dude," Emmett said and I heard him slam his door shut.
I heard something in the hallway and suddenly the bathroom door opened hitting me on the forehead.
Alice face appeared with a victory grin. "Did you totally hear that Bella?"
"Yeah you asshole brother took a bet to try and sleep with me!" I snapped.
"He called it off though!"
I felt myself soften. Alice pulled my arm and helped me up and tried dragging me off somewhere.
"Geez your strong for a tiny person!" I said struggling. "Alice let me pee first!" Alice let go and I sighed as I went back to the bathroom.
After I went I opened the door to find Alice waiting for me. She started dragging me down the hall past her room and she knocked on the door before swinging it open.
Emmett was seated in front of 62" flat screen playing on an xbox 360 with headphones over his ears. He was playing Call of Duty 4. He turned feeling the breeze from the door and he shot us a questioning looking. Taking off the head phones he asked, "What's up little sis and Bells?"
I took in a sharp breath. Only Jacob called me 'Bells'. It went unnoticed as Alice who was standing in front of me walked in and jumped on his bed. I looked and I saw him running his eyes up and down my body then up again to my eyes. I felt my body heat up.
"Bella here happens to be a video game master," Alice chirped. "We challenge you!"
I laughed nervously, "I'm not that great."
Soon we were having an all out gaming war. Alice wasn't half bad when she played.
I turned to give Alice the remote it was her turn but she was asleep. Emmett just sighed and picked her up as if she weighed nothing. I followed as he set her down on the bed.
"Come on let's play one more game before we go to bed," Emmett said "Unless you're scared," he taunted.
I rolled my eyes and followed him back to his room. We both laid down stomach on his bed as we played. One game turned into two and then it turned into a movie on Netflix. I yawned and began to feel tired the next thing I know my eyes fluttered open as a light hit my face and I felt an arm draped over my back. My lifted up my face and my eyes widened.
I was cuddled up against Emmett Cullen.
I had spent the night in Emmett Cullen's bed.
I was in my enemy's bed and I didn't hate it one bit.
I was on my stomach with my body half way on top of him with one of my legs wrap over him and my cheek felt warm for having been lying down on his chest. His very hard muscular warm chest.
I tried to pull away but he just pulled me into a tighter grip against him and he let out a little moan and mumbled, "Strawberries."
I felt my face turn beat red and slowly lifted his arm off of me. As quietly as I could I crawled out of his huge bed opening his door and slowly closed it shut trying to not make a sound. I turned to tip toe down the hall to Alice room when the bathroom door swung open.
Alice was there with toothbrush in her mouth and gave me a big foamy grin at my disheveled appearance, "I told you I had a feeling you two would be really good for each."
