Emmett's Story
Chapter 4-
I sneakily stealthed around the corner...my back brushed the wooden panels causing a silent sound to ring in my ears. Crap. I froze in the middle of the corridor, straining my ears to hear any movement, or talk from the kitchen... Nothing. I layed flat on the ground then shuffled along the floor using my elbows, damn I bet I look good doing this... I though to myself, slowly licking my lips, Ahh, focus already!! I shunned myself. I peered around the kitchen counter; Esme and Alice were sitting at the table, discussing Paris Fashion Week! Oh my god!! I really wanted to go to it! Maybe I could talk them into letting me go with them! Yeah, I'ma do tha- WAIT, no, stealth mode, be prepared for anything and everything!
Then suddenly, the though occurred to me, what the hell am I doing? Get up you fool! I instructed myself. As soon as I was up Alice shouted to me, ''Emmett, I saw what you were doing, please get up and just come in here!'' I laughed... at my own stupidity. I walked into the kitching to smiley faces, Esme was busy reading VOGE and Alice was studying the models-commenting now and then on each girls imperfections.
''Wass'up!'' I said in a gruff voice, smiling slightly.
''Hello Emmett darling. Are you okay?'' Esme said in a sweet voice. I loved Esme, she was a beautiful soul and she brings tears to my eyes –figure of speech- every time she speaks. THE BEST MOM EVER!!
''S'all good. What'cha doing?'' I said, trying to lack interest...
''Just looking at Paris fashion week!''-She pronounced it with pure love-'' Oh, but I wont bore you this the details!''- OH, IF YOU PLEASE WOULD!! I though sadly. - ''What about you? Got any homework that needs doing?''
Alice chimed in, ''Oh god no! Done it all during the lesson! Its all too easy now 'a days.'' She was right, it is very easy. Esme smiled, and then went back to her reading.
''Eddie-kins home yet?'' I said, trying to be casual. I don't know why, but I had this feeling, in the pit of my stomach, that it was Edward who wrote the note... Don't ask me how I know, I just do...
Alice gave me a very blunt look. As if it was obvious. ''Ohhh, okay moody! He's not home, I get it!'' I said, raising my hands in surrender. Esme laughed. Hmmm, what am I gunna do now...? I thought quietly to myself.
Suddenly, I had an idea... Then quickly tried not to think about it, Alice was too close. I opened my mouth to speak, ''I'm gunna go out for a bit, shopping... I'm... Umm... Running out of socks.'' I'd never been a good liar. I cracked a smile, hoping they wouldn't be suspicious...
''Jasper has some you can borrow!'' Alice said to me. Grr.
''Oh, there not the right ones... And, besides! I want to be grown up, and not have my sister, or my girl pick out my socks! I. Am. A. Grown. Man. Damn'it. Let me choose my OWN socks with NO questions asked!!'' I snapped back, rushing to get the words out. Nice Emmett, reeeeal nice, I complained to myself. Alice and Esme just stared at me.
''Umm, okay then. Bye,'' Alice said quite annoyed. Esme looked between us, and then gave up trying to figure it out what it was, going back to reading the magazine.
''Okay then.'' I said, quickly rushing to get out of the door. I grabbed Rosalie's keys, running to get in the darn car and out of here...
Once I was in the car, I blew out a sigh. ''You need to freaking relax Emmett!!'' I shout-whispered into the rear-view mirror. Then I saw my reflection...looking at myself in the mirror, I fixed my hair, tweaking it here and here... ''Mmmm, damn! I look so sexy...'' I smiled, raising one eyebrow. No, focus! What to do now... I though to myself, then went on thinking... My master plan began forming in my head... I rubbed my hands together, and started to do an evil-genius laugh!!
Then there was a sharp tap on the car window.
