Emmett gracefully sat in his Jeep whilst I scrambled miserably; he laughed and pulled me into my seat. After composing myself, my excitement kicked in.
"Alright!" I said, clapping my hands together once, "What are we doing?"
"Now, Bella, you are going to have to wait till we get there, because half of the fun is going to be watching your facial expression when you find out. Also, it does give you a chance to cross off another thing on your list."
"Which one?" I asked
He grinned evilly, "The illegal one."
With that the engine roared to life and he stated laughing like an evil maniac. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
I slapped him on the arm; even though it wouldn't have hurt him at all he stopped and made a sad face, rubbing his arm. "Oww."
"Shut up and drive, Emmett." I said.
"So, if I wasn't coming with you tonight. You would still be doing this illegal thing, which you still have yet to tell me exactly what that is." I asked Emmett as we sped down the highway.
"Yes, but it's not like I do this often." He said, defensively.
"Ah, I see." I said
"We are here." He said, pulling over on a poorly lit long, empty road. We both got out of the Jeep. My eyes squinted to see out in the dark night. In the distance, I saw five figures. One of them walked towards us.
"Who is that?" I asked, quietly.
"That is the person we are competing against." Emmett replied
I could see the person clearly now, he had a shaved head, lightly covered with blonde hair. He was wearing all black with a leather jacket. He had a strong build and was not a vampire. He could have been intimidating, but next to Emmett, he was nothing.
"Nick." Said Emmett
"Emmett." replied Nick, "Same rules as always, as soon as Kate drops her hands, go. We playing for pinks?"
''Pinks?' I had heard that before,' I thought. 'Oh no. Pink slips. Oh no, absolutely not.'
"Yes." said Emmett, smiling "See you at the line."
They shook hands and Nick walked back to his car. Emmett turned to look at me, "And the penny drops." He muttered.
"There is no way that I am doing this! I am not drag racing!" I cried, shaking my head repeatedly.
"Relax, you will be safe in the passenger seat, and I guarantee we will win. Besides, you wanted to do something illegal anyway. Miss Daughter-Of-The-Chief-Of-Police."
Well, he had me there. I took a deep breath and opened the door of the Jeep without a word.
I must have checked my seatbelt a million times as we approached the 'starting line' when in reality it was just a girl, Kate I think her name was, dressed in skimpy clothing, holding a handkerchief in the air.
"Gentlemen, start your engines!" she called
There was a roar from Nick's car and then Emmett's. I gripped my seat so tightly my knuckles were turning white. I looked across to the other car with Nick inside it. Emmett looked across as well and made a hand signal to Nick with his hand as if to say, 'I'm watching you.'
"Ready?" called Kate
The onlookers at the finish line were cheering Nick's name.
'Oh God, help!' I thought.
"GO!" she yelled, bringing down both her arms quickly.
I was thrust back into my seat as we sped off. I wasn't sure what speed we were going, but I was sure that I didn't want to know. I looked across to Nick's car, we had a marginal lead, but he was catching up.
"He's catching up, Emmett!" I yelled over the car's booming engine.
He laughed, "Not for long."
And then somehow, I was forced even further back into the seat. I could feel we were going faster than ever before, even faster than a normal speed for a Cullen.
Emmett was right; we gained a clear lead and crossed the finish line before Nick had.
We slowed down and came to a stop, it was over. I loosened my grip on the seat and breathed in and out deeply. I smiled, I felt like I was floating and carefree.
"Exhilarating, isn't it?"
"I cannot believe I just did that." I laughed, "That's... wow."
"So, do you think you will ever do that again?" he asked.
"Oh God, no! You couldn't pay me."
We laughed.
"So, can we go home now?"
"Sure." He said, as we advanced home.
"Emmett? Thank you. I have been very entertained, with your company, tonight."
"You are most welcome," he said, "However, since Edward will kill me when he finds out, I will have to be extremely careful with my thoughts around him and you will have to promise me that you will not tell anyone about this. Understand?"
"Of course. I promise."
He smiled, "Good."
As soon as we approached the Cullen's' house, I almost collapsed on Edward's couch, unable to move from how drained I was, to the large bed that was now in Edwards room for my benefit. In a matter of minutes, I was asleep.
