Chapter 15

Haven't I Been There Done That?

"This is not fair." Alice continued whining. "How come I didn't get to know Emmett's whole name?"

Rosalie looked through the racks of expensive clothing. She rolled her eyes. "Alice. Will you just shut up about that already? Jesus Christ."

Bella, Alice and Rosalie went shopping. Edward and the rest of the guys and the children along with Elizabeth went to the arcade. They were going to meet back later and hang out some more.

"Well, Alice, maybe he just didn't think it was time…" Bella suggested.

Rosalie rolled her eyes again. "It's not like he was getting ready to propose to her."

"Yeah but I am part of the family! I just- I can't believe this." Alice shook her head as she pulled out a shirt and draped it across her arm, along with 11 other shirts and 3 pairs of jeans.

"Can't believe what?" A strong masculine male voice asked.

They turned around and saw Emmett.

"What are you doing here, Emmett?" Rosalie asked her husband, handing him her massive pile of clothing.

"Apparently acting as your coat rack."

She rolled her eyes. "Seriously, Emmett."

"The guys were making fun of me and how 'whipped' I am. They told me to go shopping with you, you know, like as an insult and I said 'well, maybe I will' and I couldn't back down otherwise I would look stupid so here I am!"

Bella laughed and Alice cracked a smile, still holding a grudge about the whole name thing.

Rosalie sighed. "Do you think this makes you look any smarter?"

"Uh…is that a trick question? You know, like if I say something, it will be right but it will make you mad or something along the lines of that…"

"Oh! Don't you just hate those kinda questions? They always confuse me…" Alice stated.

Emmett nodded energetically.

"No, Emmett this isn't a trick question. You know, sometimes, I wonder why I married you." Rose said while adding a few more things into the pile of clothes Emmett held.

"Sometimes I wonder why you married me too."

She laughed.

"Awwwww. Isn't that sweet?" Bella tilted her head to the side smiled.

Alice laughed. "Yes. Sweet as sugar. Yeah right. Please gag me."

Rose sent her a look that could kill.

Alice held up her hands. "Just kidding. Just kidding."

"You better be."

"You know what? I was but now I'm not."

"Are you guys fighting over me? You both are making me feel so manly." Emmett lifted his arm and kissed the bulging muscle that was there.

"Please." Rosalie snorted derisively.

"Ew. If I could throw up, I would." Alice mimicked regurgitation since it was the closest she could get to the real thing.

"They are just too cute together." Bella smiled.

"I think you and Tristan are very cute together." Alice smiled and waggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"Nope. We are not together like that anymore. He is kinda like a big brother to me…" Bella glanced quickly at Emmett. "Next to you, of course, Em."

He smiled widely until he heard her call him Em. "Don't call me that. People might think that you're talking about a bi or something…"

She laughed, catching the attention of some guys in there with their girlfriends, who immediately became angry and rushed out of the store, dragging their on looking boyfriends behind them. One was even brave enough to wink at her. She smiled and winked back.

"You've certainly gotten cocky over the centuries." Emmett noted. "Leading innocent guys on like that, making them think they have a chance and then just walking away."

"I never knew you were such a whore, Bella." Rosalie said with a straight face, making Alice laugh.

Bella laughed and blushed. "I'm not leading that guy on. I'm just being friendly."

"Last time I checked, seducing guys you don't know at the mall is not the definition of friendly." Emmett said.

"I'm not seducing anyone!" there was a silent pause. "I can seduce people?"

Emmett nodded solemnly. "Yes. You, Isabella Marie Swan, can seduce people now that you are not hideously ugly."

Bella's jaw dropped but she quickly composed herself and jumped on Emmett. He toppled backwards and the earth shook piteously. No one noticed it but a few women shopping in the store looked over to see what was going on. They shook their heads and glared at Bella.

"Bella, look at what you did. Now I have to go and pick up all of this clothes." Emmett shook his head.

Bella got up and smiled. "Oh darn. Emmett has to go and picked up all of his wife's clothes. Can somebody say whipped?"

"Whipped!" Alice laughed.

"Now I am being made fun of here." Emmett frowned and pretended to cry.

"Aw. Don't worry, Emmett. I still love you." Bella came and gave Emmett a hug.

Rosalie smiled. "Bella! You really are a whore! First the guy in the mall and now, Emmett. And he's already taken! That takes you from a nice whore to just a plain whore."

Alice's jaw dropped. She gasped, "I'm telling."

Rosalie rolled her eyes for the freaking millionth time. "You go and do that Alice."

"I will. You wait and watch."

"How about let's not tell." Bella butted in.

"Good idea." Emmett agreed.

"Let's go get Tristan and all them." Bella suggested.

"Fine. Just let us pay for the stuff." Rosalie said, walking to the counter. The cashier's eyes bugged out widely.

"Do you plan on paying for that?" she asked. Her nametag read Becky.

Rosalie sighed. "No. I brought it to you so that I could show you what I am going to steal. YES! I am going to pay for it!"

Becky was taken aback. "Fine. Sheesh. I'm just saying. This might cost up to six thousand dollars."

Rosalie huffed. "I can handle it. Just do it so that we can go."

Alice smiled apologetically at Becky. "I'm so sorry about my sister. She hasn't been to the I Will Not Be a Bitch Academy yet."

Becky smiled weakly at Alice.

"Yes. Please excuse the bitchy wife." Emmett spoke up, shoveling more of Rosalie and Alice's clothes onto the already full counter.

Rosalie glared at her husband.

"The incredibly beautiful bitchy wife?"

She just huffed and stood waiting for the cashier to hurry. Fifteen minutes later, Becky still had thirty-seven purchases left.

"You know what? Forget those. You are way too slow and we've got places to be so just tell me how much." Rosalie squawked.

Becky smiled and whispered, "Thank god. I-it'll be um…five thousand six hundred and sixty five dollars."

Rosalie pulled out a shiny platinum credit card and had Becky charge it. As Bella and the rest left the store, they could hear Becky break down and cry.

"Aw. Poor Becky. I bet she'll probably quit after this." Bella sighed, looking back at the store where Becky's cries were heard.

"She is." Alice said.

"Good. That is not the kind of service that a store like that wants." Rosalie smiled brightly.

"Maybe you are not what she wants to service!" Bella directed towards Rosalie.

"Ha. Haha. That sounded funny." Emmett chuckled.

"Shut up." Rosalie looked at her husband who shrank away from her death glare.

"Where are all of them?" Alice asked.

"Arcade." Bella answered immediately.

"How do you know?" Rose asked.

Bella shrugged. "Every time we go to the mall, they go to the arcade."

"Oh. That seems like something they would do." Alice smiled.

The arcade came into view, lights blinking and shooting noises coming from within.

They entered. Jason and Jasper were racing each other on dirt bikes. Kristen and Elizabeth were playing DDR. Aiden and Vincent were playing House of the Dead. That left Edward and Tristan with each other. Bella quickly scanned the room, unfruitful. Then she listened and heard Tristan laughing maniacally. Oh god. What did he do to poor Edward? She rushed toward the sound and what she saw shocked her...
