Chapter 8 – Life is Beautiful

Bella POV

After the sexy shower time with Emmett I was beyond exhausted. We settled onto the couch to finish watching Billy Madison and before I knew it I was watching the inside of my eyelids more than the actual movie. I let out a small sigh and nuzzled into his perfectly sculpted chest then was asleep before I knew it.

At some point in the night Emmett picked me up and took us to my bedroom. We were already dressed for bed so he turned down the bed and placed me on my side and cuddled up right beside me whispering "Goodnight love" into my ear. There was an internal alarm going off in my brain…he just called me love!!! A huge smile grazed my lips and I was contemplating on if I should use the same term of endearment or just forget about it. Instead I settled for "Goodnight Em sleep well." Damn my stupid brain - why couldn't I just say what I was feeling. I blame it on the exhaustion.

Sometime around 8:30 I heard the front door open. You can't mistake that squeak for anything. It was the smallest noise but I still heard it. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I got out of bed. Emmett was still sound asleep snoring his massive grizzly snore and kind of twitching in his sleep too. Huh wonder what he's dreaming about.

I crossed my room from where I was admiring the half naked Emmett sleeping and opened the door and quietly closed it behind me. As I was turning to go towards the kitchen I heard low whispers coming from the living room and then as I made my entrance into the big open space Alice, Rose and Jasper were standing there looking at the kitchen. Oh crap we forgot to clean the kitchen of all the cake that was everywhere.

Alice opened her mouth to say something but all that came out was a small pitchy squeak.

"Um…hey guys what are you all doing here?" I said in a low voice as not to wake sir-snores-a lot in the other room.

"We thought we would come and spend some time with you because today Emmett has a game if I do recall. Speaking of where is that hunk of a man. I would like to meet him." Rose said matter of factly.

"He's still sleeping. What you can't hear the grizzly bear in my room from here?"

Rose kind of chuckled and said, "Oh I can hear him alright. How in the name of God can you sleep with that noise all night long? I will never know." She replied.

"Well I guess I just got used to it or something. I dunno Rose. Anyways where's Tanya? She have to work or something?"

"You know her, she doesn't ever rise before noon. Those late shifts at the club always get to her. So how was your birthday?" She said while pointing to the mess in the kitchen.

"Oh that...ha ha...funny story actually. You see Emmett had a cake delivered here and I smashed a handful into his face as pay back for spending money on me, and next thing you know we are in the midst of an all out cake war in the kitchen. I would've cleaned it up last night but I got a little side-tracked." My cheeks turned a slight shade of red and I noticed Rose has a huge grin on her face along with Alice. Jasper was still looking at the kitchen in awe.

Alice then found her words. "Please tell me you didn't have sex in the kitchen anywhere because me and Jazz have already christened it." I just looked at her with a blank stare and my mouth wide open. "Oh and don't worry about going to work this morning I took care of it for you. Jane owed me a favor so asked her to take your shift so you could watch the game, but you still have to work tomorrow night."

Have I mentioned lately that Alice is the shit!!! Best roommate/best friend ever award goes to Alice Brandon.

"Alice I freakin love you!!!" I said giddily. "You are the best!"

She shook it off as nothing. While Rose looked kind of disgusted.

"Whoa too much info Alice! I really don't want to know about your sex life with my brother!" Rose spat out. Covering her ears and going lalala. Trying to cover up anything else Alice would decide to let slip about what her and Jasper do and where.

Once the conversation surrounding why there was cake smeared everywhere the girls and I got to cleaning the kitchen while Jasper picked up the mess in the living room. Folding up all the blankets and stacking the over-abundance of pillows on the couch and picking up all the candy wrappers. Around 10:00 we heard my bedroom door creak open and a half-naked Emmett waltz out to finally make an appearance. Thank god he had some PJ pants on…wouldn't that have been embarrassing for the both of us. I knew I was going to get "the talk" anyways but he didn't have to endear it also.

Rose nudged my arm and brought me back to reality. I stopped wiping at the piece of cake that somehow made its way onto the light fixture and remembered that Rose hasn't yet been introduced. I walked over to Em and said "Em this is Rosalie, Rose this is Emmett." She walked over to where we were standing and held out her hand. He was just gawking at her so I lightly shoved him and he firmly took her hand and shook twice still with a look of awe. I think a 'nice to meet you' was said at some point but it was too low for anyone but Rose to hear it. He must be wondering how Rose with her goddess like looks and tall stature batted for the other team. That we will never know. She used to date guys but I guess she just got sick of all the lame ass losers in this town and said "Fuck it!"

After everyone said their hello's to Emmett he went to take a shower and get ready for the team meeting before the game. While he was in the shower I decided to make breakfast for everyone seeing as everyone I loved was in the same vicinity. Alice and Rose set the table, adding an extra chair for Em, while Jasper and I handled the food. Jasper was a master at making the best french toast ever, so that was his duty. I made blueberry muffins from scratch, a ton of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage links, breakfast potatoes with diced bell pepper, Onion, and scallions, and to top it off I sliced a variety of ripe fruit and tossed it all together to make a fruit salad. You could call it a breakfast of champions, but nothing compared (to me anyways) the breakfast that Emmett cooked yesterday for me.

After Emmett was all showered and smelling fresh we all sat down to eat the enormous meal in front of us. Everything smelled heavenly. Of course the topic of conversation was my birthday. I was like an open book when the sex questions started popping out of Rose and Alice's mouths. My cheeks were as red as they could get when Rose asked "You did use protection right, I don't know about a bunch of little Bella and Emmett Junior's running around just yet?"

Dude we totally forgot to use a condom yesterday. Thank god for Depo-Provera. I decided to get the shot instead of remembering to take a little pill every day at the same time. I would forget all the time when I was on the pill. Not a smart thing by the way. So I answered because I saw the look of absolute horror on Emmett's face. "Rose I am on Depo so no worries. Can we please change the subject from my sex-life to something else and no, not anyone else's sex-life preferably? I think you have scared Em enough for one morning."

Emmett's facial expression turned from horror to entertained and he chimed in "Bella, nothing said this morning has scared me in the least…well except that my heart practically jumped into my throat when I realized we didn't use condoms. Oops." Oh here we go again my face turned beet red and everyone at the table minus myself and Em busted up laughing.

Shortly after Emmett inhaled most of the food that was cooked after everyone else had their fair share he sadly had to leave for the game. Looking all snazzy in his pinstriped suit and tie he ducked out of the apartment after giving me a goodbye kiss. Just for the record…he is one mighty damn good kisser. Then the "girl drill"…wow that sounds kinda dirty...ha-ha…started… Rose asked "So what is going on with you two...are you just fuck buddies or actually dating now? C'mon tell me, tell me, please." She was starting to sound like a little kid all over again.

Alice's little bell voice chimed in at that moment and said, "No Rose they are in love, are you telling me you can't see that. It was practically rolling off them in waves this morning, and I have seen it first-hand. I am her roommate you know." A sly smile grazed her lips.

As if they couldn't tell I was embarrassed enough Rose had more questions. "Is he good in bed? I bet he is. He seems like he would be. You can't stay quiet forever Bella. We can always go to him and ask these same questions ya know."

Ah this was starting to piss me off so instead of blowing my top I decided to answer their absurd questions with as little detail as possible. I don't ask them about their sexual conquests. So the less they know about mine the better.

" Rose to answer your question yes we are dating, we made it official the night he flew in, and as for your other question he's the best lay I've ever had! He does this thing with his tongue. Oh nope not going into that with you guys. I'm pretty sure you can guess though. Ha-ha." I smirked at them.

"Oh Bella that's wonderful! It's been forever since you had an actual boyfriend I was beginning to think you were like Rose over here." She pointed with her small thumb to her left where Rose was seated on the couch. Rose punched her in the shoulder receiving a whimper from Alice.

Jasper was oblivious to our conversation and was glued to Sports center on TV. Today everyone was going to watch the game with me because I didn't get tickets in time and not everyone is made out of money. So around 4:00 we turned the channel to Emmett's game. We were all rooting for the Bears to win this time. I of course was wearing my favorite jersey. No one had to fear of getting food and stuff thrown at them in their own home. Unless of course your friends with Rosalie who does it to get a rise out of you.

The game started and the Bears had the kick off. I was so entranced into the game I was shouting and throwing popcorn at the TV when there was a bogus Flag or the Seahawks gained a few more yards. "C'mon Em kick their asses again!" Alice, Jasper and Rose all looked at me in confusion. I was never this into a game before. I guess because my boyfriend was on the television it brought out the fight in me.

My eyes were always searching the field or the bench for that number 23 jersey. Every time I saw it I would grin like the Cheshire cat. The Bears were winning 31-17. They had it in the bag with a minute and 27 seconds left on the clock. All they had to do was run out the clock and make sure no one fumbled the ball and they could claim victory once again on the Seahawks turf.

So, the Seahawks were defeated yet again on their own turf. I couldn't wait to see Emmett again after the big win. I was so excited to get to see him after the game. I jumped into the shower and washed my hair with the strawberry shampoo I use and shaved all the necessary places. I got out of the shower feeling all rejuvenated and dried myself off and put some PJ's on. A ratty old Beatles shirt and some sweatpants. What can I say - I dress for comfort.

The gang all left after the game was over so Emmett and I could have some more privacy. I decided to make dinner so before the game I took out some steaks to thaw out. I decided to marinate it in my homemade Teriyaki marinade with pineapple instead of actual sugar. It's bomb. Three steaks for Emmett and one for me. Lord knows that he is a bottomless pit. So the more food that is cooked makes a happy Emmett, therefore making a happy me. I also steamed some broccoli and made some hollandaise sauce to drip over it, and what steak meal would be without baked potatoes with chives and sour cream.

Around 10:00 I heard a knock at the door. Emmett was standing there in all his hunky glory just staring at me dazzily with a lustful smile on his face. Then he yelled "We did it again babe! They took another massive beat down!" He ran towards me and scooped me up in his arms and hugged me tightly pressing his body firm against mine. Then our eyes locked and I was a goner. He took my bottom lip in between his and then his tongue grazed my lip for entrance. Of course I obeyed, who wouldn't? Our tongues were dancing together struggling for dominance and the next moment I am crashing backwards into the wall opposite of the doorway over by the kitchen. His beefy form encasing me.

Then I remembered I had the stove on and was cooking. Damn! I broke our super steamy kiss to say seductively "I made steaks for dinner and don't want them to go to waste. I hope you are hungry because I made a lot."

His lazy grin turned into a big wide smile that went from ear to ear and said "Baby you just said the magic word. You sure know how to get to my heart. Steak is definitely the way to it." Then he chuckled and we moved to the kitchen so I could finish cooking. He got out two beers and twisted the tops off, and went to the cupboard getting two plates and setting the table.

Wow I didn't even have to ask. I could get used to this.

After sitting down to our nice home-cooked meal and conversing about the events of the game, I was really tired so we sat down on the couch and popped in the next movie on our list Pride and Prejudice and soon we were both taken over by sleep. Sometime around 3 in the morning I woke up and shook Emmett awake so we could move to the bedroom where it was way more comfy. I slid into the bed cocooning myself in my down comforter while Emmett took off the suit he had worn for the game and crawled into the bed in his boxers. It didn't take long for sleep to overcome us again. No late night sexin' for us.

The next morning I had the whole day planned out. I was going to show Emmett the Seattle he has yet to see before he gets back on the plane tonight to go back to Chicago, and I had to go to work. First things first we had to get him checked out of the hotel room that he didn't ever use, and then we would head to see the Fremont Troll that was under the Aurora bridge. Only the locals really knew where it was so not many people go there. It's the coolest sculpture and I think he would get a kick out of it.

We got showered and got dressed and it was already 9:30. I made a pot of coffee and toasted some pop tarts to tide us over until lunch. We were going to go eat lunch at the Space Needle later. They have that restaurant called Sky City that slowly revolves around so you can see a full 360 degree view of Seattle. I was just excited to spend the day with Emmett outside of this tiny little apartment. We left a few minutes later to go take care of things at the hotel.

Once at the Monaco I walked in with him and Alice was standing behind the desk looking kind of bored. So we thought we would try to perk up her mood.

"Hey Ali. Em has to check out of his room then we are going for an afternoon on the town… before this evening." I said the ending with a little hurt behind my words. I didn't want Em to go back to Chicago. If I could, I would lock him up in my closet and never let him go back.

Alice replied with a nod and got things squared away for Emmett. She probably didn't want Emmett to go either, especially since the last time it happened I was a robot for a month practically. But I don't think it will happen like that this time. I know we will actually see each other again so no worries. Then we said a quick goodbye and we were off to start our little adventure Bella style.

We parked his truck off to the side of the bridge and climbed down to the Troll. His reaction when he saw the sculpture was a mix between excitement and awe. I knew he would like it.

"Bella this is fucking amazing. I have never seen anything this cool. Okay I have but this is still pretty fucking cool. Hey is that a VW bug in its hand? Haha that's awesome." He took out his phone and grabbed me by the waist and pressed a button and I heard the sound of a shutter going off. What the hell he just took a picture of us. So I got my phone out and did the same this time he snuck a peck to my cheek when I took the picture.

We took turns climbing on top of the troll and posing in goofy ways while taking pictures of each other. It was so relaxing to be myself with him. If it was anyone else I would've been very reserved and quiet, but with Emmett everything just felt right. We were both goofy and acted like kids again. He started chasing me around the troll and I being the clumsy person I am tripped on a rock and went face first into the dirt, Emmett rushed over to me to check for any damage I might have done. I only had a scrape on my right knee and a few abrasions on my palms from catching my fall but no permanent damage. He kissed every wound and helped me up.

After my little nose dive we decided it was time to go to our next Seattle attraction which was the Space Needle. I was starving and I knew Emmett just eating pop tarts wasn't even making a dent to his appetite. So lunch was definitely in order. We hopped into the truck and headed back towards out destination. We rode the elevator until it stopped at the Sky City restaurant. I have lived here forever and this is the first time I ever ate here. Once being shown to our table and handed menus the server asked for our drink order.

Water was fine for me at the moment and Emmett ordered a Dr. Pepper.

Ah man after my own heart. Dr. Pepper is the best!

I looked over at Emmett and you could tell he was starting to salivate just looking at the menu. He closed it abruptly. "Well I know what I am getting. How about you hun?"

"I haven't even opened the menu yet. There must be some good things one that menu. You look like you would kill to get some food over there." I said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh you have no idea. I could probably eat one of everything on the menu, but don't want to gross you out."

The server came back with our drinks and asked if we needed a few more minutes.

"I think just a few more minutes but I would like to order an appetizer first. Can we get two plates of the crab cakes please?" Emmett said hurried.

"Yeah no problem I will put that in right now." She said. I noticed her name was Emily.

"Thank you very much. You would think he was starving or something." I chuckled.

After looking at the menu I decided on the Cobb Salad and Emmett ordered the Open Faced Flat Iron Steak Sandwich and a bottle of the Kings Estate Pinot Noir. This was turning into one expensive lunch, but I wasn't complaining because I was spending it with Emmett. After the wine and food arrived we spend most of the time in light discussion. The whole time we were looking at the view or into each other's eyes. Once finished with the entrees of course Emmett still had room for dessert. He ordered their famous Lunar Orbiter. Which was gourmet ice cream with either chocolate sauce poured over it or a raspberry sauce sitting on top of dry ice. When the server brings it to the table they pour in hot water and it starts fogging. It was the coolest thing ever, and tasted really good too.

I noticed that sitting by the window we were slowly but surely rotating around looking at all of Seattle's beauty. By the time we left we saw the view we first saw sitting down. We did a complete 360 in our time here. That is just amazing.

Once we paid for everything we got back in the elevator where we decided to go to the very top of the needle to the observation deck where there were a bunch of telescopes and we went to the SkyQ which is a hands-on virtual tour of Seattle in a way. It's hard to explain. You could touch anywhere on the screen and it would give information one that particular spot. I clicked on the Monaco Hotel and read what information they had to offer. We took more pictures together with Seattle in the background. They turned out really good. I was starting to get a little queasy from the height so we cut that short. We decided to just walk around Pike Place Market-where I did most of my food shopping anyways, and we all know I needed to do that after a few days with Emmett in the house- for a while until I had to go get ready for work. They also had a lot of really cool shops around there like a bunch of artsy type things and clothing shops.

We hit up the food stores first getting a bunch of fresh fruit and vegetables. Then I went to the bakery to get some fresh baked bread so I could make some sandwiches for my lunch tonight and for Em's plane ride. They we passed a candle store and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. They all smelled so heavenly. I ended up spending my wad at the market and was about done when something caught Emmett's eye in a jewelry store. This woman had a table of sterling silver bracelets that had a bunch of different sayings on them. Emmett was looking at one that said 'LA VIE EST BELLE'-which means 'life is beautiful' in French.

Emmett was talking to the lady and said, "Ma'am I would like to buy this one."

She replied, "Sure thing young man. Is this for your lady friend over there?" Pointing directly at me. He smiled.

"It sure is, you see yesterday was her birthday and I didn't get to get her anything so I want to make it up to her."

"Oh how wonderful." The lady behind the table said.

He purchased the bracelet and walked towards me. He lowered his gaze to mine and said, "I know I am spending money on you but you're just going to have to get used to it."

"Oh Emmett it's beautiful what does it mean?" I was trying to play dumb even though I knew exactly what it said. I just wanted to see if he knew.

"It means 'life is beautiful', and Bella life started becoming beautiful the day you came into mine…" Wow I have never heard Emmett get all sappy before but I liked it.

I responded by throwing myself into his arms and taking his face between my hands and saying, "Em, that is the sappiest most romantic thing I have ever heard you say. I kinda like this side of you." They I took his upper lip between my two and we embraced in a passionate kiss until we both were out of breath and I said, "Let's get out of here."

We made it back to the apartment in 10 minutes because of Emmett's speed demon ways. I was unlocking the door when he spun me around and picked me up bridal style and walked us into the spacious living room kicking the door closed behind him. Taking the 30 steps to my bedroom he opened the door and put me down. His lips met mine again and then things started to heat up. I made quick work of my shoes and jacket and as did he. Then we lowered ourselves to the bed and he started kissing the apex between my ear and shoulder. I let out little moans wanting more. No - needing more. I torn off his shirt and was starting to go for his belt when he was trying to take my shirt off. We ended up knocking heads and there was a slight dull pain but I was too far gone to care. We laughed it off and he made quick work with my bra and took my right nipple into his mouth suckling it gently and massaging the left with his huge hand.

I was moaning and writhing underneath him and decided to take control. I flipped him over and started kissing down his perfectly sculpted chest until I reached him waistline. I unbuttoned his jeans and yanked them down, surprised that he didn't wear boxers today. I smiled and then I slid my hands down his erect cock, and taking him into my mouth. "Oh Bella, that feels so good. I need you baby."

I made my pants and underwear disappear in seconds and was straddling him. He then flipped me back over and thrust two fingers into me. Earning a groan from me. He fastened his ministrations and brushed across my clit. I bucked into his hand and I was so close. Then he pulled out his fingers and licked them clean. Oh my god this man is seriously going to be the death of me. I was squirming to get closer to him when he thrust into me fully sheathing himself in me. Oh it felt so good. "Oh Em please I need you now…harder." He quickened the pace and before I knew it my walls were clenching around his cock. I let out a loud moan and tucked my head into his neck. He kept thrusting harder and faster making my walls quake again.

"Cum with me Bella..I am so close." A few pumps later we fell into the abyss together. He lay very still for about a minute and then looked up at me. "Bella you are so amazing. I wish I didn't have to go back." Then he got up and pulled me into a hug.

A few minutes later I knew I had to start getting ready for work so we both showered together washing and memorizing each other's bodies. I didn't want to forget anything. After getting out of the shower and getting dressed I headed to the kitchen to make some sandwiches for us to take. Just the basic turkey with lettuce, tomato, cheese and the regular condiments on the sourdough bread I bought. I also added some chips in a bag for Emmett. He had to fly halfway across the country and airplane food isn't all that good.

After leaving the apartment and getting everything squared away. He drove me to work. It sucks I can't go to the airport with him but I will get over it-eventually.

We embraced for what seemed like hours but it was only minutes. He then whispered into my ear, "Bella you're going to be late."

My reply was muffled because I was trying my hardest not to break down into tears. "I don't care. They can live without me for five more minutes. I don't want to let you go."

"I know but it has to be done for the time being. I will call you when I land and every day from now until I see your beautiful face again." His eyes looked hurt and he bent down and kissed me one last time on the lips and then kissed my forehead and lastly my hand before he walked around to the driver's side of the Tacoma. Before he pulled out he waved and blew a kiss to me. Then everything I was holding back came crashing down all at once.

I felt a small hand on my shoulder and found Alice with tears brimming her eyes and she said, "I know honey, but you will see each other soon enough. I know these things remember."

We then walked into the hotel together me leaning on her and her comforting me the best she could.
