Chapter 26

Emmett's POV

"Another one," I directed at the bartender, shoving my glass towards him. I had gone back to the bar, and was now sipping mugs of beer.

I just couldn't believe myself. How could I punch Edward? He was sure to tell Rosalie who was sure to tell Bella, who was sure to beat me for it. Even though my main purpose for punching him was to get to Bella in the first place, I had been having big doubts about what I had done.

The bartender slid another mug down the bar towards me, and I noticed an attractive blonde with big….earrings…..looking at me.

She smiled and waved cutely, and I smiled back, probably looking retarded though, because I was completely drunk. Again.

"Well, hello pretty lady," I said stupidly. And I slid over to the barstool beside her.

She was unaccompanied, and sipping a martini.

"What's your name?" I asked her, muttering a bit.

"Melinda." She said seductively, twirling a thick lock of blonde hair around her manicured finger.

She stared at me all the while.

"Yours?" She asked me.

"Em…Emm…Emmett. Emmett. I'm Emmett." I reached over to shake hands with her. She took it and shook.

When I pulled away though, to take another sip, I could have sworn I saw her wipe her hands on her see-through white slacks.

"You married?" I asked her, when I was done sipping.

"No….You?"

I had forgotten to put on my wedding band this morning, so it was lying on the bathroom counter. Taking this as an open opportunity, I lied.

"No, no. Not hitched."

She smiled and exhaled excitedly at my answer and grabbed my beer mug.

I was mad at her for taking it until I saw her take a huge gulp from the same place my lips had just been.

When she was done sipping, she set the mug back on the bar counter, and said, "You want to get out of here?"

I was shocked at how fast things were moving along, but I was about to say yes.

About to, until I saw a crying Rosalie stomp into the bar, take a seat at an empty booth, and bury her head in her arms sobbing.

AN: I know, it is VERY short, but I had no idea what I could make Emmett be doing at the bar, because I didn't want him doing anything extremely crazy.

Anyhoo, REVIEW! Hey, that rhymed

I want to know your thoughts on what might happen next…….
