Bella, Alice, and I walked in the door from a long day at the mall. It was actually fairly productive. Alice was able to persuade Bella to buy some new polos and jeans at Abercrombie & Fitch. I was mostly in BCBG, Victoria's Secret, and New York and Company.I bought some new blouses, cardigans, and halters at NY&C, then some party dresses for the next time we went to Penguin, (and in case Emmett just happened to be working there), and one for our date. As I ran up to my room to relieve my shoulders and joints in my arms of the bags they were carrying, the phone rang. "I'll get it!" I shouted, and dived for the phone on my nightstand.

"Hello?"

"Hey Rosalie?"

"Yup, this is she."

"Hey Rose, it's Emmett."

"Emmett! Hey! What's up?"

"Oh, nothin' much, just wanted to talk to you. Sorry I didn't call last night, I had to finish my shift."

I curled up on my bed. "Oh, no, that was fine. I was tired. How often do you work there?"

"Every Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening. Then during the days I help out my uncle at his various construction sites."

"Oh. So is that where you got your muscles?"

"Haha, I'm glad you noticed. Yeah, there and the gym."

"That's cool. So have you lived here a while?"

"A while, yeah. Edward has this....condition type of thing, so we moved up here about three, four years ago."

"Condition? Not serious I hope. Bella hasn't been able to stop talking about him since last night!"

"Well I'm glad to hear that, he just came out of a bad relationship a couple months ago, been a real downer. Since he's met her, he's been much happier. It's kinda funny, they don't even really know each other, and they're still so smitten."

"Yeah, it is pretty funny." I sighed. These brothers could make anyone head over heels in love with them.

"So where'd you live before you moved here?" He asked

"Seattle. We got tired of the cold and shadows, so we thought we'd make a drastic change in location. So our parents all pitched in to build us a house down here."

"Build you a house?"

"Yeah. All of our parents are kinda.....well, rich."

He laughed. "It gets tiring huh? I can relate."

I paused, the only guys as wealthy as my family were awful and snobby. Emmett...was, well, not. "What?"

"Having wealthy parents. I don't know about yours, but all my parents ever really cared about was climbing the social ladder, and throwing parties, y'know?"

"Yeah, mine were that way too. Not really Alice's or Bella's though. They were lucky."

"Seems we have more in common than I knew. We lived in Los Angelos, but my brothers and I got tired of the whole status and class thing, so we moved just far enough away that our parents can still visit whenever they find the time, which is,"

"Never" We both finished, then laughed at ourselves.

'Yeah, that." He paused.

There was a slightly awkward silence after that.

"So, you looking forward to Saturday?" I asked, trying not to sound like I'd been thinking about it since last night, which, I had...

"Oh most definitely. We're picking you three up."

"Where to?"

"Oh, you'll see." I hard a yell in the background of his phone line. "Hey Rose? I gotta go, Jazz needs help with his car. Call you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, talk to you later!"

"Yeah, bye Rose.

"Bye Emmett." I waited until his line went dead before I hung up myself. He just felt so...right.I shook my head. No, I told myself, No I will not get in this far this soon. But there was just something about him....
