A/N: Hello hello. I'm back with a new chapter. There is a teeny tiny itty bitty bit of lemon in this chapter and it's the first one I've written so... it was a bit of a struggle for me be kind and let me know how it was. Nothing new to report on the Bears road to the Superbowl, but I did order a brand spankin' new Brian Urlacher jersey that I cannot wait to wear. I would just like to point out that I don't own Twilight, which thoroughly bums me out.
The title of this chapter is Encroachment: An illegal action by a player: to cross the line of scrimmage and make contact with an opponent before the ball is snapped.
Rosalie POV
Today I was running around cleaning the apartment like a mad woman. I sent Bella out with Luke so they would be out of my hair while I prepared to clean this place from top to bottom for the barbeque that Emmett wants to throw. I'm so unbelievably frustrated, the least Emmett could do would be stick behind and help me clean after all this party was his idea. Don't get me wrong, it is so sweet of Emmett to want me to be comfortable with the football wives before my first time in the box with them, but dammit if he tells me 'the house is clean' one more time so help me he will be having this party alone.
I know I'm freaking out over nothing, his teammates and the few neighbors that will be coming wont care what our place looks like, I just don't want to give the wives anything to talk about behind my back. I'm shallow like that, so what.
After nearly two hours of cleaning I found myself on the floor in the kitchen scrubbing at a spot, that I'm not so sure I didn't create with my imagination, frustrated I get up walk to the sink wash my hands and call Emmett.
Only one ring and he picks up.
"Hey what's up Rosie, why ya calling, you done cleaning yet?" he said with a chuckle, I growled back.
"No I just wanted to take a little break but clearly you're busy mocking me so..." I let my sentence trail off.
"So you wanted me to come back up there, but now you're mad at me?" his voice laced with innocence he does not actually posses.
I huff "Yep." my answer was clipped and just as I was about to snap the phone shut I heard.
"I'll be up there in five minutes." It sounded as if he was already running to get back up here from the gym as he ended the call.
Approximately 4:57 seconds later Emmett burst through the front door of the apartment. And by approximately I mean literally, I counted.
He stalked towards me with a devilish smile on his face. I was still a little pissed at him, so I raised my eyebrow in silent challenge. The smile left Emmett's face but he was still headed in my direction, with a look of pure lust on his face. I gasped and spun around to run towards the bedroom. Before I even made it a few steps Emmett had me hoisted up over his shoulder and brought me screaming and giggling over to the couch.
Emmett tossed me down on the couch with a thud and collapsed on top of me. He started attacking my mouth with kisses, I wrapped my arms around his neck. He was all gross and sweaty from being in the gym but I found that I didn't much care, and kinda liked it.
I couldn't stop the groans and other sounds that were coming out of my mouth as he started trailing kisses down my neck and burying his nose into the deep v cut in my shirt. My hands were gripping the short strands hair at the back of his head and Emmett's hands were running up and down my sides until they made their way under the hem of my shirt. He began pushing my shirt up slowly until I broke apart from the kiss to rip it off myself. As he did the same with his shirt.
He smiled a big goofy grin "I knew you wouldn't stay mad at me long."
"Shut up and kiss me." I said with a laugh pulling him back down on top of me.
We were grinding on each other like two horny teenagers. My legs wrapped around his waist, his mesh covered arousal, thank god for basketball shorts, pressing into me in the most delicious ways. Just as Emmett had gotten my bra unclasped and slid half way down my arms we heard it, but there wasn't enough time to hide what the hell we were doing, Bella was making her way into the apartment.
"Oh shit!" Emmett said as we both stopped and starred at each other wide eyed. It felt like everything was going in slow motion. Emmett jumped off the couch and threw me my shirt. Just as I had gotten it over my head, I heard him groan.
"Well well well. What have you two been up to? I take the kid for a few hours and you two can't be trusted to keep your hands to yourself when you have guests arriving in a little over..." Bella looked at her watch on the wrist opposite the one holding Luke. "an hour from now. Shame on you."
"Uh, I'm gonna go take a shower" Emmett said in one breath before he ran towards our room.
"Coward!" I shouted after him.
"Give me my baby." I held my hands out to Luke, who gladly stretched out to reach me.
"So were you productive getting any cleaning done? Or were you too busy having sexy times with that boyfriend of yours to get anything done?" Bella asked with a look of amusement on her face.
"Oh shut it! I got everything done." I snapped
"Hey don't get mad at me you didn't get any, if you would've just gone in your room and locked the" I didn't let her finish before I stormed out of the room to put Luke down for a nap.
When I walked back toward the kitchen Bella was snickering to herself, most likely at my expense.
"I'm just gonna go take a shower." I mumbled and she just laughed like I told her the funniest joke in the world.
So what if it sounded like I was about to go jump in the shower with Emmett, that actually wasn't a half bad idea. When I got into the bedroom I was slightly disappointed to see Emmett was standing at the closet already showered with a pair of jeans on, searching for a shirt.
I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and placed a kiss on his back between his shoulder blades. He sighed "Sorry about before, I really should have brought you to the bedroom."
"You have nothing to be sorry about. It was an accident we got caught doing what we were doing, but think of it this way; once my sister moves out we can have sex on our couch as much as we want without having to worry about her walking in." I laughed lightly.
"I just really wanted to take your mind off of things, help you relax before the party."
"Well how about you help me relax after the party?" I asked
"Really?"
"Yes really. Now I need to go shower and you need to finish getting dressed and put all the drinks in the fridge to get cool before our guests arrive."
It seemed like I barely had a second to breath between taking a shower and the first guests arrival. Our first guests were Jasper and Alice Whitlock and their daughter. She was a beautiful little girl with hazel eyes and curly blonde hair like her dad. She was only a month younger than Luke but looked so much tinier.
"Hi I'm Alice, and this is my husband Jasper." She was a petite brunette with blue eyes with a hug that could choke a horse. After she let me out of her death grip I shook Jasper's proffered hand.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie. Nice to meet you both." I said when she let me go. "And who is this." I asked of the little girl on Alice's hip.
"This is Aubrey. Aubrey can you wave to Rosalie?" Alice asked the little girl with a nudge.
Aubrey just buried her face in Alice's shoulder.
"Hey Aubrey, I have someone I'd like you to meet. Alice why don't you follow me? And Jasper why don't you go find my other half?"
Alice and I walked into the living room where I had Luke's baby gate up so he could play without being trampled on by the adults at the party.
Luke had crawled over to the side and had pulled himself to a standing position. I picked him up and he just starred at Aubrey with a big smile on his face. It wasn't often Luke got to spend time with other kids.
"This is Luke. Aubrey would you like to play with Luke?"
She buried her face in Alice's shoulder again. "Baby, don't you want to play with Luke?" Alice tried but the little girl kept her face hidden.
"Maybe they'll want to play together after we have been together awhile." Alice said.
"Probably, would you like something to drink?"
Alice and I walked into the kitchen to get drinks for us, Aubrey and Luke. Jasper and Emmett were in the kitchen gathering up the stuff for the grill.
"Hey there cutie!" Emmett said as he walked up to Alice and tickled Aubrey on her side. She giggled and he kissed her on the head before turning to kiss Alice on the cheek in greeting.
Luke started fussing, probably because he wasn't used to his dad, for all intents and purposes, giving attention to any other kid.
"Come here buddy." Emmett said as he walked over and plucked Luke out of my arms. He walked back over to where Jasper was standing.
"Howdy there Luke." Jasper said as he grabbed Luke's little hand and shook it.
The cheesiest little grin was plastered to Luke's face before he erupted in a giggle I had never heard come out of my child before. Then Aubrey started to cry. We all laughed as Jasper walked over and took Aubrey from Alice.
Our kids were clearly attention seekers and did not like any other children getting attention from their parents.
The four of us were sitting around chatting with Luke on Emmett's lap and Aubrey on Jasper's. That was when I noticed Bella wasn't even in here with us. I turned and looked out on the balcony where we had a large table set up. There she was sitting with none other than Edward Cullen.
"Em, when did our other guest arrive?" When I asked he looked to where I was starring and said.
"About 20 minutes ago. Come on, why don't we all go out there, I'm gonna have to start cooking soon. The rest of our guests should be here soon."
We walked out on the balcony and looked to be interrupting a very intimate conversation.
"So Edward, I see you've already met Bella. This is my girl Rosalie and this is Luke."
"Hello Rosalie nice to meet you." Edward said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek. He walked over to Emmett and Luke and did the same thing Jasper did, said hello and shook his little hand. When he went to walk away Luke growled and leaned with his arms out for Edward to take him from Emmett.
I just stood there shocked, Luke doesn't growl at people and he definitely doesn't want to go by strangers. Edward just shrugged his shoulders and took Luke from Emmett. The first thing Luke did was reach up and grab a fist full of Edward's messy copper hair with one hand and pet his head with the other.
"Uh kid, you know I'm not a dog right?" Edward asked with a laugh. We were all near hysterics and Bella was laughing so hard tears were forming in her eyes.
Edward shot her a look that said 'what the hell' and she started to calm a bit. Bella walked over and put her arms out so Luke would come by her. And he did. Luke let go of Edwards hair and practically jumped into Bella's arms.
"So Edward..." Emmett started as he shot Bella a look that said 'you're so screwed' "Did Bella tell you about her love for the Seahawks?" Bella's mouth dropped open and Edward just laughed and said "No she didn't tell me she loved the Seahawks."
"Oh yeah, she does. But that's okay because when she's here she cheers for the Bears. Isn't that right Bella?" Emmett clearly meant that question to be rhetorical. "And did she tell you about the jerseys she bought from Rosalie and Luke? She's so thoughtful, she bought them both my jersey." He snapped his fingers and pointed at Bella "and you know what else she bought?"
"Emmett." she said through clenched teeth as I tried to hold in my laughter.
"What did she buy, Emmett?" Alice threw in.
"Don't." Bella said just above a whisper.
"She got herself a Bears jersey too. Hey maybe she can wear it to the game?" he mused out loud to himself. "Yeah that way she can show off how much she likes our team and one player in particular."
"I'm leaving." Bella huffed and walked back inside with Luke still on her hip.
I laughed and said "Emmett that was mean." as I shook my head.
"What? I didn't tell him it was his jersey." Em said with a big grin. "Oops, I guess I did."
We all started laughing, even Edward. He excused himself to go to the bathroom but I just had a feeling he was going to talk to Bella.
More of our guests started to arrive. Mike and Jessica Stanley and our neighbors Tonya from the floor above and Jack from just down the hall. I told Emmett that he was trying to be match maker for those two but just denied it.
Emmett started the grill and Bella had finally come back outside. She was giving him a death glare but he just kept smiling away flipping burgers without a care in the world. I took Alice inside to Luke's room so she could change Aubrey. I left her to it and bumped into Edward on my way back outside.
"Hey is my sister really mad at Em?" he looked a little shocked at my question but recovered quickly.
"Nah. She's not mad, well maybe just a little. She was just really embarrassed."
"Oh okay. Well thanks for talking to her and getting her to come back outside."
"Uh... I didn't um..."
"It's okay I know you came in here to talk to her."
"Yeah, it's not a problem." he said looking down at the floor shyly.
I got back on the balcony and everyone was getting plates of food. I cut up a hotdog for Luke and set him up on my lap. I brought out his high chair for Aubrey.
We ate, drank, and laughed until the kids started getting cranky. Alice and I brought them both into Luke's room and set them down together in his crib. I grabbed the baby monitor and we went back to join our friends.
I was really happy to meet Alice and Jessica because I knew when we went to the first home game Bella, Luke and I would have at least two people on our side.
After a couple more hours Alice and Jasper decided to leave so they could get Aubrey home. Mike and Jessica left so they could relieve their babysitter. Emmett told them they could bring their kids but Jessica declined said it would be nice to get out of the house without the kids for a change.
Tonya and Jack excused themselves and I gave Emmett a look that said 'not a match maker huh?'. The only one left was Edward, he and Emmett were talking about their up coming home game.
"Yeah my parents are going to be there." Edward stated casually.
Bella started to choke on her drink. "Bells are you okay?" I asked
"Fine, just went down the wrong pipe." she coughed out.
Edward and Bella shared a look, then Emmett and I shared a look that said 'what the hell is going on with them'.
Bella stood and said she would be headed to bed, that she was exhausted from being at the park all morning with Luke. "It was nice to meet you Edward."
"It was nice to meet you too, Bella. Maybe we will see each other soon?"
"Uh yeah, maybe." she said with a small smile. With that she walked back inside. Edward said he needed to get back home to let his dog out.
That was fine with me. I was really tired and ready to crash. Emmett walked Edward out and I started putting things away in the kitchen.
"Come on babe. The food is all put away, the rest of this stuff can wait till tomorrow." Em pulled me by my hand to the bedroom where the both of us proceeded to fall straight into bed. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow, totally ignoring Emmett's promise to help me relax after the barbeque, but I'd definitely be cashing in on that promise, soon.
A/N: Thank you to everyone that has reviewed on my story so far, I really appreciate it more than you know and more than I could ever express with words.
Oh and if you haven't already you can put me on author alert to get outtakes as soon as they become available. I will be posting my first outtake of this story sometime in between now and the next chapter. It will be Bella's POV of the barbeque and the things said between her and Edward that I couldn't logically fit in this chapter without switching POV's. It will be labeled Chapter 6 companion so if you go back and read the story later you will know where it fits.
See you next chapter... or sooner.
