"Where are we going?" I asked following Emmett.
"Batting cages. I need to hit something and seeing as I don't want to hit my best friend and I highly doubt Bella would be happy if I did that, I figured this was a good alternative." I nodded. Emmett and I have never really fought about anything, but I knew if it ever went as far as a fist fight the man would destroy me.
We round the corner and Emmett paid to get us started, well him started. I mainly just wanted to stay out of the way.
"So all them jokes I made about you having a good night with the random bar girl, it was really my sister?"
"Um, yea." He nodded and swung again. "Look I didn't mean for it to happen. Neither of us planned this. And had I known you would be OK with it, I would have told you from the beginning. Bella didn't want to cause problems and neither did I. Which yea looking back this is probably the worst way for you to find out."
"Ya think." He let out a small laugh. "I'm not mad."
"Really?"
"No, more grossed out that I actually talked to you about some girl you were sleeping with, when it was really Bells, but yea, I think I would have flipped out had I known then."
"So why aren't you now?"
"Because if Rose knew and didn't think anything bad about it then it can't be all bad, unless you plan on kicking her to the curb and/or hurting her, then we would have a problem." I nodded. I didn't plan on doing either of those things. Though no one can predict the future so what if I did end up hurting her?
"I, um, well neither of those things are what I want to happen." I didn't want anything to come out wrong. "I mean, I like her, yea, and we are, together, but we haven't discussed it further then that." He swung again without answering and we stayed in silence for a little bit.
"Hey guys." Rose walked up to the cage looking in on us.
"Wheres Bella?" Emmett said turning to face her. I stood and walked to the fence with him.
"She's, well, with her Dad. I think I talked her out of leaving with him, but I don't know. She said she needed to talk things out with him and then needed time to think. Really I think she is just worried about you two." Emmett and I looked at each other. Rose looked between us both waiting for one of us to talk.
"We are fine. But she shouldn't leave. I don't want her to and I know Eddie boy here doesn't." I rolled my eyes at the stupid nick name. He knew I hated being called that, only my mother called me that and if I could get her to stop, it would be amazing.
"No, I don't want her to go." Rose nodded. "What did she say? Does she want to go?"
"No, I don't think so at least. She just doesn't want to cause problems." She kept looking at me. "Well go after her already! Who cares what her Dad thinks or says. He gave up the right to an opinion when he took her free will from her long ago." She placed her hands on her hips. "You know you want to." I looked at Emmett.
"And later down the road if it doesn't work out? What happens then? I fight for her to stay and then hurt her? I don't know if I can do that. I don't want to hurt her. But I can't ask her to stay without the guarantee of it working." It shocked me to see Rose laugh. Emmett looked just as confused.
"Wow and guys think girls over think things. Look there is no guarantee in life anyway. Emmett can't promise me forever."
"Hey, I love you and I'm not going anywhere. I promise!" She rolled her eyes.
"Fine, you can promise. But no one can say what the future holds. And who says it would be you hurting her? It can go both ways you know. Just because your making a big gesture doesn't mean you are signing on for a wife and kids, it just means you know you want her in this moment, you want her for your future now. So go, get your girl. Stop worrying and just live in the moment." She smiled when Emmett nodded, I guess in a way giving me permission and it was all I needed.
"Thanks Rose." I kissed her cheek yelling bye to Emmett and her."
"Shes at the Holiday up the road!" I heard her shout to me.
