I don't own anything.

I want to give a big THANK YOU ! to Arabella Whitlock, she is the one who beta-ed this for me…Thank you so much. Big hugs to Arabella!


Emmett's POV:

I woke up before Bella, with a knock on the door. It was early pre-dawn morning, so I was a bear and not so happy. I walked up to the door, opened it and saw a man with bronze coloured hair. I knew who it was and I was not happy, more like I was pissed. He looked as if he could shit his pants at the sight of me because of my shere size. I quickly texted Jasper telling him that Edward was here and I was going to get Bella's dog back. It's amazing how much you learn when you are in university classes trying not to get caught texting. I got a response back saying that he already had Jake on the phone letting him know what was going down.

"Um, Is Bella home?" Edward said. "And you are-"

"Yes but she is sleeping. My name is Emmett and I am here to protect her from the likes of you. So if you wouldn't mind hopping into your car and getting her dog Tippy, that would be great. If not I will have the police here in seconds waiting to arrest you for stealing personal property. The choice is up to you." I told him as I had my arms crossed over my chest, looking down at him. He looked at me as to size me up. Well I had many years for high school and college football under my belt that has helped me to kick some ass. And especially of its some scrawny, cheater, dumbass boy's ass I'm hurting. I mentally cracked my knuckles and awaited his answer. I knew he wanted to make a run for it, but he wouldn't be able to because I already had everything set up and ready to go. "I'm not getting any younger here, so it would be able to choose an option. It's not hard, pick one or two. Like I said it's up to you. Option one is a little easier so I think that is your best bet."

"Um, ah, um I don't know. I guess I can go get that little shit dog." He said. He was nervous as fuck but I didn't care as long as my Bella was fine, I wouldn't care in the least.

"Okay, so get in your car and I will follow you and I will bring him home. Comprende?" He just nodded his head, finally a good answer from him. He got in and I followed him. It wasn't a far drive but still it was ten minutes away. I had called Jasper and let him know the plans just so they don't wake up Bella from her sleep. Once I got to this fuckers apartment I was glad because Bella would be happy again.

I followed Edward in and saw Tippy there. He saw me and started wagging his tail even though he had not one clue who I was. I really didn't care all that much because I would bring him home to Bella and then she would be happy again. I got Tippy into my car, along with all his stuff, and drove back to Bella's apartment, quietly opened the door, I looked at Tippy and told him to be quiet. We went to the couch I once again took my bed on the floor, while Tippy climbed behind Bella's legs and fell asleep. The next thing I heard was crying and "I missed you's coming from Bella. This made me very happy. I decided to pretend to sleep a little more and let her have some dog time.

I woke up ten minutes later and saw that Bella had left the couch. I didn't see her shoes gone so she still must be here. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth then made my way to the kitchen. I saw Bella sitting there with her head in her hands, crying. I couldn't believe she was crying again. I hope everything is okay. I wearily made my way over to her to see what was wrong, when I felt someone jump on my neck and hug me for dear life. I looked down and saw Bella crying into my chest.

"Thank you Emmett. This means the world to me." She said looking up at me. So much emotion in her eyes, I wanted to kiss her. I felt this strong pull towards her. I wanted her.

"You're welcome Bella. I know how much Tippy means to you."

"Is there any way I could repay you for this?"

That question went straight to my cock; I had to think of something to get myself to calm down. I was trying but honestly the only thing I could think has been her and me on that couch making out for the rest of the day. "Um, no there isn't, I'm okay. Really."

"I know something that we could do, you stay the night again, I will make dinner and we will watch a few DVD's."

"Sounds good."

After us talking some more, I took a shower, decided against me relieving myself in her shower and went back down just in time to see Bella on a chair trying to get something from a tall cupboard. "Do you want some help?" I chuckled.

"Sure that would be great, can you get that pan from there, the white one please?"

"No problem." I got it down for her; I looked down from the chair and noticed she wasn't wearing a bra. She was perfect I couldn't wait to see her out of that t-shirt and grab one of her nipples into my mouth. She blushed as if she knew what I was thinking. "So what are you making?"

"It's a surprise, you will find out soon enough. Now can you go to the video store and get a few DVD's doesn't matter what ones. Something funny."

"Ya no problem." I wondered if it was going to be a PJ day for her because if so I'm going to get a hot movie so I can watch her blush.

I went and came back within thirty minutes. Bella was still in the kitchen. It was later on in the afternoon, we would be eating in a few hours and I couldn't wait.

"Hey, Emmett do you want to go to the park and play with Tippy and me?"

"Sounds great. I'm ready when you are."

"Sweet lets go." I saw that she was in the same t-shirt and now a pair of jeans, hopefully she didn't put a bra on.

We got to the park near her house and played for an hour then went back to her place.

"Emmett can you please set the table? Beer is in the fridge if you want." I did as she asked.

We sat down eating the delicious food she made not really talking during the meal. I just starred at her beautiful brown eyes. I got lost in them. We finished and washed the dishes together then sat on the couch. We plugged in the movie and started to watch it. I felt as if I was in high school again, can I put my arm around her? How to do it stealthily, I didn't know. I was hesitating a lot. Bella turned her head and smiled. "Emmett, you can put your arm around me, I don't bite." She laughed. "Hard." I smiled the wrapped my arm around her and she settled in getting comfortable on my side. I would love for her to be permanently attracted to me. She smelt wonderful, her body wash and just Bella. I looked at her and she looked at me. I started to put my head down towards hers. Meeting her lucious lips I kissed her; with all the passion I was feeling; I wanted to devour her. I slid my tongue by her lower lip and asked for permission. She tasted even better than she smelt. I think I'm falling for her.


Bella's POV:

W-O-W! That's all I have to say. That kiss was something else entirely. I think I'm falling hard and fast. I mean what girl wouldn't fall for the guy who went and got her dog back from her slime ball of an ex-boyfriend? He is really sweet. It seems he already has my friends' approval. Which is a plus. Emmett, is just, sigh, wonderful. I think I can see myself with him for a long time to come. Maybe his wife?

"Emmett, are you planning on staying the night tonight?"

"If you would like, Bella. I would love to. Before we go to bed, we should take him out eh?" He pointed to Tippy.

"Ya I think so." Emmett got Tippy ready as I got my jacket on. We took him out for a little walk. Then we got ready for bed.

"Good night Bella, I will see you in the morning." He said as I was walking up the stairs.

"Uh, Emmett?"

"Ya."

"You can come up and sleep with me. I would prefer it, you're a lot taller than I am and you will get sore from lying down on that couch all night." Oh man I sound like a teenager trying to sneak her boyfriend up while her parents aren't home. Gawd.

"Oh, okay. Let me make sure the place is locked down here, while you are getting ready." He flashed me what I am now considering my smile and my insides got all fuzzy. I really do like him. Is that weird? I mean I just broke up with my boyfriend of five years and I am already pinning away for someone else. I sound like a slut. Damn.

Knock, knock. "Bella, are you decent?" aw, he's so sweet; he's asking if he can come in the room.

"Ya come on in Em."

"I like the nick name Belle." He winked, Belle? Huh?

"Em, question. How did you come up with Belle? I mean my name is Bella?"

"Because you are my beauty, and I am your beast. We have two languages up North, English and French. So I changed your name to Belle. Plus you look like Belle from Beauty and The Beast. So your name is Belle."

W-O-W! Have I said that before? I mean it. Can this guy get any cuter? He said one of my all-time favourite movies and told me I look like a Disney Princess. You can't get a bigger compilemt then that. I got off the bed and walked up to him. Put my arms around him and brought his head down for a kiss. "If I kiss you now, you will become my Prince Charming, no longer the beast." I kissed him with all that I knew how. He brushed his tongue against my lower lip waiting for entrance. I granted it to him. Our tongues danced together. He pulled away too soon for my liking, but he told me why.

"Belle, if we continue this kiss, I cannot be held responsible for whatever I do to you. I would love to continue, but can I at least take you out first?" He laughed, and then kissed my head. "Let's go to bed. We have one more day off, and we can talk about you and me." Emmett hugged me and we slipped into bed together. I fell asleep to the sound of his heart and breathing, and Tippy's snoring on the floor. The best sleep I have ever had. And I mean it. He held me in his arms. I felt so safe and loved.

I woke up nice and warm. I had a pair of strong arms around me and my head was on a manly chest. I can only assume it was Emmett. I wouldn't mind waking up the next 70 years the same way.

"Mmmm, Belle you smell good." Emmett said as he sniffed my hair. I started to giggle. "Oh, so you're ticklish eh?! That's good to hear." He unravelled one of his arms and started to tickle my sides. I was laughing so hard I had to run to the bathroom.

"Em, what would you like for breakfast?" I called from the bathroom.

"Doesn't matter to me, whatever is fine." He replied.

"Okay, it will be ready in five." I got to making simple eggs and bacon. I really didn't want to fuss over breakfast. Never have. I like to make a fuss over dinners and things like that. Emmett came down the stairs, with is hair wet from his shower.

"Smell's good, Belle."

We sat down to eat and talk about our day.


Emmett's POV:

Belle made amazing breakfast. I think if she made toast it would be perfect. I had the best sleep in forever, with her in my arms. Now that I have experienced that I don't think I could go back to sleeping alone.

"So, Belle what would you like to do today?"

"How about we watch a movie and take out?"

"That sounds great, but that's this evening. Do you want to do anything today?" I really wanted her answer to be no, stay in bed all day and hold each other. I could be content with that…well most of me would be content with that. There is one part of my anatomy that would not like that very much as it would be straining the whole day.

"I need to get things set for school next week; laundry and such. Plus I need to go to the store and get some stuff. So if we were to meet back here at let's say 4:00 we would still have the night together."

"Sounds good." I understood why, but still I wanted to hold my Belle in my arms. "I will see you then." Once breakfast was done, we did dishes together and I collected my stuff from the living room, hugged Belle and left.

When I got home, I went to take a shower. But I noticed I had a problem – my cock was hard as rock. I wrapped my hand around my problem. I imagined it to be Belle's hand. Slowly moving it up and down, waiting for the sweet release, I rested my hand on the cool, wet tiles of my shower and yelled out Belle's name. This was one of the most satisfying orgasms I have ever had; I could only wonder how it would feel with her.

I got ready after my shower. We were both fans of old movies and Disney movies. But I decided to go with a classic Gary Grant movie: Build His Dream House. I figured have this movie first then for our second date I would buy her a copy, of her name sake – Beauty and The Beast. I wanted everything to be perfect. I was trying to think of something that we could have for dinner when I got a text.

Emmett, its Alice. Bella's favourite food is Greek. She will have anything there. Have fun tonight!

I guess that solved my problem. I would go down to the local Greek restaurant and get some food. I figured I would get something that we could sit at the table with. I wanted to prolong the date as long as possible. This way we had to eat at the table, and then watch the movie.

Thank you Alice, I owe you one! I texted her back.

Once I got the food, I drove over to Belle's house. I couldn't wait to get our night started. We had one more night left in this universe before we had to go back to Mr. McCarty and Ms. Swan. Bella opened the door; I walked in and put the take put bags down on the kitchen table.

"Belle, I got Greek. A fairy told me it was one of your favourites."

"Yup, that fairy was right. I guess someone clapped their hands so she got to live." She laughed, I loved it.

"Oh, I guess we shouldn't watch Peter Pan then, you've seen it too many times if you are able to tell me that the children have to clap their hands for Tinkerbell to live." I joked back.

"Well, if that is the case then all Disney movies are out because you said that I am Belle from Beauty and The Beast." She smirked.

Banter between the two of us was easy. It is as if we have known each other for years not weeks. I want to bring it up; I really want to date her. I know when I close my eyes I see her walking down the aisle toward me in a white gown. Me in a black tux with a daisy on the lapel. I know that this may sound silly but it's what I see.

"So what movie did you get?"

"I got Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House, a Gary Grant classic."

"Oh, I love that movie."

"Good, I'm glad. I have dinner ready so we can sit and eat, then we can watch Mr. Blandings build the dream house."

We sat down and ate our delicious food, asked random questions about each other; favourite colour – blue, favourite music – rock (This Providence), favourite book - I figured her to be into the classics, she was but her favourite book was Offer from a Gentleman by Julia Quinn. She told me I was her Benedict, whatever that meant.

"Hey Em, I'm going to run upstairs to put on PJ's if you want you can use the downstairs bathroom to change."

"Sure." About ten minutes later she came down in what I have to say is the sexiest PJ's on the face of the planet; black yoga capris, blue tank top and a sweater over her arm. She looked so laid back and comfy that I couldn't help but think she looked sexy.

We cuddled up on her couch once again. I was going to ask her, I had to. "Belle?"

"Ya Em."

"I was wondering, if you would like to go out on a date with me. I know that you broke up with the Jerkward-"she held up a hand to single me to stop.

"Emmett, my Beast, and yes I would love to go out with you. But first do you want to stop the movie and we can take Tippy out for a walk and then we can finish this later?"

I was on top of the world. I couldn't believe she said yes. We took Tippy out and came back. I knew I was tired and seeing as we needed a good sleep tonight I figured I will bring the DVD up to her room and we can finish watching it up there. So we can be comfortable. We ended up falling asleep before the movie even ended. But once again it was the best sleep I had. Her in my arms.

It's Monday morning. Time for Mr. McCarty and Miss Swan, back to the real world. Ugh. But that's okay. We will have our first date on Friday, after practice, so I am looking forward to that. Luckily we are both dedicated teachers and our lessons are done for the next month. We don't have that to worry about. Now we have to concentrate on our students and me on my team. We have our season opener on Saturday against a rival school, should be fun. I'll invite Belle's crew over to my place after the game for a BBQ so I can get to know them better. But I think I have their blessings because what I did for her and Tippy.

We showered, separately, ate breakfast and took both our cars to work. I had practice after classes all week to prepare for the big game.

When we got to the school we both had to get our mail and photocopies. As we were exciting the teachers' offices I heard "Mr. McCarty! Your back! I missed you." One of my students, Eck.

"Good morning Rachel, how was your week with the supply teacher?"

"It was okay. I really really wanted you there." She said with lustful? eyes. Okay eww!

"Rachel, I have to get going but I will see you in class." I had to get to the principals' office so I can tell him about this. That's just nasty. I feel like I need to go hit the showers and get the disgusting creeper student germs off of me.

I did what I needed to do, so now it's off to my classroom. English is fun to teach especially if you can relate with your students. I sucked in school in primary school and parts of my secondary school, and then I found an easier way to learn- through sports. I just related it all back to something I understood. How I did well in English is beyond me but here I am now, loving what I do and hopefully getting the girl I want as well.

"Run Smith, let's go! Get the damn lead out!" I yelled at one of my Sr. football player, Smith. He was moving very slow. He had to hurry up.

"Ya come on Sam run, so Mr. McCarty doesn't make you do laps!" I heard an angel yell out from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw my Belle standing there.

"Belle, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you and I'm looking forward to tonight."

I smiled at that. "Me too, I will pick you up at seven and we can go out for some dinner at a little place I know. Sound good?"

"Sounds great, I'll see you then." She blew a kiss at me, as we were not an official couple yet and walked off the field.

"Hey Coach, looking good! Getting some action from Miss Swan eh?" the boys laughed.

"Hey, guys do you know what the funny thing is?" They shook their heads no. "You all have five laps to complete before you even thing about hitting the showers! Now move your arses NOW!"
