Chapter 14: Emmett the Director
Emmett POV
God, Rose is amazing. I don't even care that she said it first or even that she's planning to use my cowardice as blackmail in the future. Just hearing her say the words, "I love you," is worth all of that and a hell of a lot more too. After our dinner and awesome dessert, we head out to go dancing. She is one hot dancer. I swear that almost all the guys at the club were staring at her. And I didn't even look at another girl. I usually like to babe watch at places like this but I only had eyes for my Rosie. I'll never need any other woman. Well except for my mom of course but she doesn't count. And my sisters from another mister, Bellie-bell and the pixie, but they don't count in this scenario either.
After hours of dancing, talking, and drinking we head home. It's about a quarter past 11 and we're getting a bit tired from all of the dancing. We hop in a cab and give the address for the hotel. Rose is falling asleep beside me and she has her head resting on my shoulder.
"This was a great date," she says tiredly.
"'Yea it was," I say.
"You do know that we're going to owe Alice for this," she says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Well she's the one who set up date night, and she's also the one who gave us the info we needed to push you guys along with your stupid bet thing," she smirks. Even when she's practically asleep she manages to make snide remarks. She's definitely my type of woman.
"Ya, ya," I say. I hide my smile in her hair. "C'mon we're here," I help Rosie out of the car and pay the taxi driver.
"Have a good night," he says with a smile as he pulls away. I half-carry my sleepy girlfriend to our rooms and fish around in her purse for her room key.
"God, how much crap do girls really need in their purses anyways?" I mutter. Rose just rolls her eyes and plucks her purse out of my hands. She reaches in and pulls out her key. I stare at her with my mouth hanging open.
"How did you-?"
"I'm a girl," she says as if that explains everything. And maybe it does. Girls, I internally scoff. Rose opens the door and we find Alice and Bella sitting on the couch watching a movie, probably waiting up for Rose.
"Hooray! You're here! Time to talk, go away Emmett," Alice orders jumping up from the couch.
"Aw come on I wanna join in on gossip hour too," I whine. Bella giggles and Rosalie rolls her eyes.
"Get outta here Emmett," Alice says. I pout my saddest puppy dog pout but the pixie with the heart of stone just points to the door. I let my head droop sadly and turn towards the door, but at the last second I dash over to Rose, give her quick kiss and run out the door before Alice can Kung Foo my butt. I can hear Alice's sigh of frustration and she says, "Rose, your boy is hopeless."
"I know," she says but I can hear the smile in her voice.
I open the door to our room to see Edward and Jasper sitting on the beds waiting for me.
"Hello ladies. Waiting up for me?"
"Oh shut up how'd it go?" Edward asks.
"Good" I say knowing it'll piss them off. As I predicted Edward gives an exasperated sigh and Jasper mutters "Here we go."
"Emmett it's late just tell us how it went so we can sleep without feeling guilty over killing you," Edward says. I chuckle. Edward's usually a pretty patient person but when he really wants to know something, and he's really tired or hungry or excited, it's not hard to push his buttons.
"Well the bet was completed, sort of, if that's what you want to know." I shrug nonchalantly, hoping they won't notice the sort of in there. They do of course.
"Sort of?" Jasper asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Well she sort of said it first," I admit. Then I remember Alice. "Hey, you told Alice and she told Rose and Bella to bug us about the "L" word!" Jasper grins.
"So it worked," he says. I glare at him.
"I had to tell Rose about the bet and now she's making fun of me saying that I'm a wuss for having to make the bet in the first place," I glare/ pout at him and Edward chuckles.
"That's what you get," he says.
"You were part of it too!" I say indignantly.
"Yea, but I said it first. Rose had more guts than you do," he teases.
"Whatever," I say I push Edward and he topples off the bed. Jasper rolls his eyes.
"Alright alright children let's just get this gossiping over with so we can get some sleep." Edward gets up and glares at me. We spend the next half hour telling each other about our dates, beating Jasper for the trouble his girlfriend caused and then thinking about what we can get her for her birthday to repay her.
The next morning Jasper is already gone, probably getting coffee with Alice, and Edward is still fast asleep. I glance at the clock, 10:14AM. I pick up my phone and text Rose,
U awake?
Ya been up for a bit Bella's asleep and Alice is gone
Edward 2 Jaspers prob w/ Alice b ur room in a sec
Cya soon 3
I get up and throw on a shirt and some jeans. I tiptoe over to Edward and set the alarm clock on high volume and put it right by his head. I set it to wake him up at 10:45. I turn up the volume as loud as I can and then set my phone to notify me when it's 10:43. I wouldn't want to miss this.
I walk over to the girls' room and knock on the door. Rose opens the door still in her PJs. I run my eyes over her quickly. She looks hot. Rose smirks.
"Are you gonna stand there all day undressing me with your mind or are you going to come in?" I grin at her.
"Who says I can't do both?" Rose smacks me on the head and walks in plopping, gracefully, onto the couch. How does she do it? I sit down beside her, much less gracefully, and put my arm around her. "So what's on the agenda today boss lady?"
"That's Miss Boss Lady to you and I was thinking we'd go to the Botanical Gardens and then to Manhattan for some roaming around."
"Sounds good, as long as you and Alice don't make us shop the whole time we're there."
"Fine, I'll do my best to keep Alice under control, although I guarantee nothing."
"Your best is all I ask," I tease and I kiss her nose. She leans into me and sighs.
"I can't believe this trip is nearly half over."
"I know it feels like we've always been here and like we always will be here." Rose turns to look at me.
"We should come back someday, the six of us. After university we should come back even if only for another trip." I kiss her forehead.
"Sounds like a plan Miss Boss Lady," I grin at her. She smiles back and smacks my arm. We spend some time kissing and talking and kissing some more, and then my phone goes off.
"What's that?" Rose asks. I grin,
"Come with me and bring your camera, this is going to be funny."
Rose and I sneak silently into our room, me armed with my camera-phone and Rose with her camera.
"What's going to happen?" Rose whispers.
"Shh, you'll see."
Edward is still sleeping like a rock. I glance at my phone, 10:44. Almost time.
"Rose, get into position." She glances at sleeping Edward at the alarm clock by his head and then at the cameras in our hands and she grins, smart girl. She stands on one side of Edward with her camera already videotaping and trained on Edward. My phone is on video mode and I turn it to me and start speaking to it.
"Hello viewers, this is Emmett and my gorgeous girlfriend, Rose, here," I turn the phone to Rose who waves, "And we're waiting for the alarm clock I put by my sleeping friend Eddie's head to go off. This video is so we can look back on this memory and laugh." I pause, "Or for blackmail, whichever." I turn the phone to Eddie and wait. We only have to wait a couple of seconds before the alarm clock starts blaring. Edward jumps up at the sound, almost whacking me in the head, and tumbles, flailing, onto the floor. And we got it all on camera.
"Aaaaah," he exclaims. Rose and I double over in laughter. Edward struggles to get up and he turns to me, glaring. I focus my phone on his face.
"Smile for the camera Eddie." Rose laughs even harder with her camera still recording everything.
"Emmett...," Edward growls. "You better run," I focus my phone on my face and grin. "Well that's all for now folks. Remember, Emmett is awesome. Stay cool." I stop recording with my phone but I notice that Rose is still recording with her camera.
"Morning Eddie," I say cheerfully.
"You have 3 seconds." I wave to Rose,
"See ya later Babe," I turn and run out of the room. I can hear Edward running after me. I laugh. This is fun and this is definitely going on the internet.
Bella POV
I wake up to the sound of fighting in our room.
"Get off me!" Edward. Even half asleep I can recognize his voice.
"You jumped on me first!" Emmett. Why are they fighting in here?
"You pranked me first!" Prank? What did Emmett do now? I roll over in my bed and open my tired eyes a sliver. I can see Emmett and Edward rolling around on the floor, wrestling, and Rose, standing by the door, taping it and laughing her ass off. I look around a bit and notice that Alice and Jasper are absent again. They always leave so early to get coffee and then don't come back for an hour. I also see that the clock says 10:51AM. I groan and sit up in my bed. No one notices though. I stand up and walk around the fighting children on the floor and stand beside Rose.
"So what'd he do?" I ask.
"Placed the alarm by Edward's head on full blast and we recorded it," She responds without looking up.
"Mmm," I reply with a smirk. From what I've heard Edward sleeps like me, long and deeply.
"You gonna stop recording soon?" I ask. I so need to see this video.
"Sure," she says, "Just a sec." She turns the camera on herself.
"Well there you have folks, the prank and the fight that followed. Now I must show my dear friend Bella this wonderful video so we can laugh our asses off at the men we love. Have a good day and drive safe." She stops recording and I giggle at her conclusion. Then we head to guys' room which they had left open, to watch the video. Just then Alice and Jasper walk in.
"Hey guys, here's your coffee. What did Emmett do this time?" Jasper says. Rose and I take the coffee eagerly and I take a long drink from mine.
"You could hear them?" Rose asks although it's more like a statement.
"Our door is still open," Alice says sitting on the couch beside us.
"Well instead of explaining what happened why don't I just show you? I was just about to show Bella."
We spend the next 10 minutes laughing hysterically. We replay Edward falling off the bed like 5 times. I have to admit his expression was priceless. Emmett and Edward walk in as we're replaying Edward's spectacular fall for the 6th time.
"Guys!" Edward groans. We all start laughing some more.
"Isn't it great? I should be a director," Emmett says grinning.
"Bella!" Edward groans, "You too?" He comes and sits beside me. I give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry Edward, but your face," I start giggling again.
"Emmett you are so in for revenge," he says glaring. We laugh for another ten minutes.
Ok sorry this took so long. But I havn't given up promise! The story probably won't be too much longer after this. Maybe up to chapter 18 or something. I'll have to see. Hope noone hates me for taking so long. I give you all cyber chocolate chip cookies for not giving up on me and SVR =) Anyways please review and could you please let me know if you think I should bring Jacob in or if I should just leave him the insensitive jerkface we never see. Thanks for all the support and I'll try to be faster. I do have exams coming up at the end of the month so don't hate me if the new chapter isn't up before then. xo ~Brie
