Chapter 12-This Year's Love

Bella POV

~Thanksgiving night continued…~

Before we headed back to our room we went back inside to listen to the local piano player by the name of Tom Bopp. He was said to have been playing there for the past twenty five years. All the guests were hunkered down in the couches and chairs surrounding the lounge that held the piano. Emmett and I decided to check it out and order a bottle of wine to take to the room for later. A tall, lanky man by the name of Max stopped by where we were seated and asked if we would like a cocktail? I ordered the Kings Estate Pinot Noir and two glasses for later and a lemon drop while Emmett ordered a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap.

We sat in the lobby for another half hour while things started dying down and Tom Bopp started a slide show he created of all things Wawona, singing and giving a little background of the pictures. It was amazing how much he knew about this place. I was starting to get a little sleepy and let out a stifled yawn. Emmett saw me do this and said he was going to go find Max so we could leave him a decent tip. Emmett returned not too long after and he helped me out of the chair I had grown accustomed to. We walked out the door towards the building where our room resided.

Once getting to the room Emmett opened the door and put another log on the fire. I grabbed some pajama's and walked to the bathroom to change, brush my teeth and wash my face- you know all the stuff girls do before bed. I kind of felt bad, if I wasn't so damn tired tonight Emmett would definitely be getting some hot, passionate "I love you" sex, but I just was too damn tired and could hardly keep my eyes open. I walked out and Emmett was already shed out of his clothes clad in his boxers and turning over the covers of the bed.

"Hey sorry baby. I am so tired. I had a great time with you today though. The day just really took it out of me. Maybe if you're lucky you will get a surprise in the morning." I said that last part with the most seductive voice I could muster and a wink to go along.

"No problem. Goodnight sweet cheeks. Sleep well and remember I love you." He smiled and kissed both of my cheeks and forehead then reached over and shut off the lamp. I was asleep within minutes. The nickname sweet cheeks running through my mind…wonder where he came up with that one?? Now I have to give him a good one.

~Friday~

I woke to the thunderous snores coming from Emmett's throat. I blinked a few times and noticed it was only 8:45. Plenty of time before the restaurant closed for breakfast to have some fun times in the room. I rolled off the bed and headed to the bathroom because I really had to pee. Then I brushed my teeth, screw brushing my hair because it was just going to get messy again anyways.

As I walked back into the room I saw Emmett's eyes twitching underneath his eyelids and his hand groping the side of the bed where I was supposed to be. So I took that as my queue and jumped back into the bed and straddled him, kissing from his forehead down his face, to his neck and shoulders, then all the way down his torso until I met up with the waistline of his boxers.

Gently tugging off his boxer's I took him in my mouth and worked my magic. He woke up with a start but relaxed and let out a guttural groan when his tip hit the back of my throat. I added a little tongue action at that and earned another groan. His hands moved to my hair and I felt his fingers caressing my scalp. He started bucking his hip so he slid further into my little mouth.

"Ah baby you don't know what you do to me." His voice was dripping with sleep and ecstasy.

"Oh I think I do." I replied my voice vibrating through him, making him shiver.

He pulled me up to him and started kissing my neck, weary of the morning breath he had, but I honestly didn't care. I turned my head and kissed him with much fervor and passion. I could feel his hard on pressing into my abdomen and I grabbed him which caught him off guard and he grunted.

He started to slip off my pajama bottoms to get to my goods. While attempting that I shed my shirt and he got distracted and massaged both of my nipples until they were pert and ready, then taking one into his mouth and exchanging a few minutes later so the other didn't feel neglected. This left me to finish taking off the rest of my clothes, and rocking against him mewling. I think an "I love you" escaped my lips once.

Then Emmett's ever talented hand made an appearance and caressed my slick wet folds and tested my readiness. "Oh Bella, I like that you are so ready for me." He said nibbling on my earlobe.

Then in an all too quick movement he flipped me onto my back and directed himself to my entrance and pushed in with ease. Giving me some time to acclimate myself to him, and started pumping in and out of me at a steady pace. Gotta love that crazy spur of the moment morning sex. I was moaning and groaning into his ear and his hand made it to my clit and brushed over it. I sheathed his length with myself and felt myself growing closer to my breaking point. I then turned us so I was riding him his huge manly hands on my hips and a look of pure ecstasy on his face. I quickened my pace and he continued his ministrations on my clit. All too soon I felt myself clench around his cock, leading him to follow in my lead, milking himself in me. I collapsed on top of him breathing heavily until both our breathing returned to normal. I got off of him and laid to his right side laying my head above his heart and my right hand lightly grazing the contours of his abs, and his hand tangled in my hair.

We stayed in each other's embrace until I heard Emmett's stomach make the most god-awful noise known to man. Poor guy was starving and I seduced him without feeding him first. Damn! We made our way to the bathroom to make ourselves look presentable enough to go get something to eat and then headed out around 9:30 AM.

Today the host was a tall kid with short brown hair who looked to be around my age. He was reading the New Yorker and his name tag said his name was Brendan. He didn't notice us until I politely said, "Hello, my man here is starved so may we have a table for two."

He looked at me for a second and a huge grin spread across his face. He was checking me out, and in front of Emmett no less. What the hell?

"Oh sorry ma'am, but there is about a ten to fifteen minute waiting list at the moment. If I can have your name I will call you when we have a table ready for you." Wow being called ma'am makes me feel so old. Huh.

Emmett spoke up just then, "Cullen or Emmett is fine. Thank you we will be sitting right over there." Em took my hand and we made our way tone of the couches in the lounge area by the fire. First, stopping at the morning coffee stand and getting my daily dose of caffeine. There were maybe a handful of people waiting to be sat too. Exactly ten minutes later we heard his name being called by someone different. There stood Lea the server from our first night here. She beamed at us and said jokily, "Good morning you two, late start today? No worries we still have plenty of food for you." The last bit aimed mostly at Emmett.

She showed us to a table in the middle of the dining room and said we could get started while she got us some orange juice and another cup of coffee.

Emmett was piling food onto his plate while I checked out what their buffet had to offer today. Ooh pancakes today. Yum! I grabbed a plate and got some scrambled eggs, two small pancakes, some breakfast potatoes and a few links of sausage. Then headed back to the table where Emmett was already shoveling food into his mouth. Wow my man really loves his food.

I ate what was on my plate then went to get some fruit and a cup of yogurt. Emmett made two more trips up to the buffet then we left shortly after.

We got into the truck and headed back towards the valley again. Today we were going to do a lot more. It wasn't snowing at the moment so it took a little less time than it did yesterday to get to the valley. Once in the village we walked around and noticed an Ansel Adams gallery and decided to drop in and check it out. I was immediately lost in a world of black and white photography. It was incredible how back in the 1930's pictures could come out so amazing beautiful.

Emmett must have seen the look on my face because he got out his wallet and asked which one was my favorite.

"No Emmett these pictures cost was too much. I will not let you buy me one."

He replied with, "Bella no matter what you threaten me with it won't stop me from spoiling the women I love the most in this world. I am also buying some prints for my mother, but I will not hear another negative word from you about this alright."

I looked at him defeated. "Fine you win Emmett." I pointed to the one picture that caught my eye as soon as we entered the gallery. "I love this one." It was a picture of Half Dome covered in snow and the Merced River looked all glossy. Under the picture its name read "Half Dome, Merced River, Winter". I knew exactly where I was hanging this when I got home. We then walked around searching for the best pictures to buy for Esme and Alice (as a thank you for everything present). We chose a picture of Bridalveil Fall taken in the late 1920's. It was misting and looked remarkable. Then we chose two for Esme, one was a picture of a bunch of Dogwood blossoms and the other was El Capitan in the winter sometime in the late 1940's. It's amazing how such a small devise can capture the greatest things in life. Once we finished in the gallery and bought all of the pictures and had them matted, Emmett walked out over a thousand dollars short.

We stored the pictures in the truck and headed to our next destination, the village gift shop/grocery store. I bought a sweatshirt that said 'Go climb a rock' on the front of it, and Emmett must have been in a crazy spending mode because I left his side for no longer than five minutes and I find him with a cart full or Yosemite merchandise. He had shirts, shot glasses, a stuffed cougar just for me and a few other little knick-knack things. After exiting the store we decided to go check out the little Miwok village that was not too far from there.

Seeing as there was snow on the ground you could hardly see all the tee-pee's but we still went. I took pictures of Emmett being goofy as always and he took some shots of me standing next to this giant tree stump that marked how many years old it was. I looked like a midget compared to this thing. Sequoia's are the biggest trees in the world so I'm told. I believe the stump itself it got up to fifty thousand years old and it was about eight feet tall and wide. It must have been a beastly tree when it was standing. Easily 50-70 feet tall or more. He also got me standing next to an Indian war outfit once we were inside the building. Within the building it held all the Indian artifacts, like baskets, clothing, jewelry and such. There was even an elderly Miwok woman weaving a basket and explaining how she did it to a bunch of other tourists. It was intriguing to say the least.

It was already around two o'clock when we finished in there and I was starting to get a little hungry again. So Emmett drove over to Curry Village where we ate at the pizza deck and then walked around there for a while going through all the little shops they had over in this section of the valley. You got a great view of Half Dome and Cloud's Rest from here. So I took out my handy dandy camera and snapped away. Have I ever said that Yosemite is beautiful when it's covered in snow and icicles? What a sight that is?

Emmett ran into a few people who recognized him of course and was stuck getting his picture taken and signing autographs for a while so I trudged around but not too far away. I noticed a bunch of little tent cabin and walked around checking out the scene. These tents were all employee housing. I found it amazing that people could live in tents all winter and not freeze to death. I also found it interesting the diversity of people that worked here. Like in the grocery store we met a girl from Ecuador, and a young man from Turkey. They come here on visa and just work to save money for whatever it is they need. While walking back towards Emmett I stubbed my toe on a rock that was disguised as a snow clump. Man that shit hurt.

I hobbled back over to Emmett and his face looked worried.

"Hey what happened? Where did you disappear to? I turned around and you were gone. You scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry I just went to check things out and then on the way back I stubbed my freaking toe on a rock. It really hurts." I stuck my lower lip out in a pouting fashion and his gaze went straight to it. He took me in his arms and cradled me to his chest saying "Oh I'm sorry sweet cheeks, want me to kiss it and make it better."

I could think of a million other places he could kiss on my body other than my toes at the moment, and suddenly the perfect nickname came to mind and I voiced it with enthusiasm.

"Oh no sexy pants that's quite alright. My little toe has been through much worse. Trust me."

"Sexy pant's huh. How did you come up with that one?"

I replied with a sly smile, "Oh cause your ass just looks so damn good in your football uniform. May I ask how you came up with sweet cheeks?"

He gazed up at the sky as if in deep thought and said, "Well it could be two different reasons. One would be your cheeks always seem to blush at the slightest compliment or embarrassment and I find that completely sexy or two you can't deny that you have an amazing ass."

I just had to laugh at how in sync we were and how we didn't have a care in the world. To come up with the craziest nicknames for each other and not care if we voiced them in a crowded place or if people thought we were some immature couple. I liked that about our relationship we could act goofy and retarded and not care. It was great.

So once we got out of Curry Village we went towards Yosemite Falls to it check out. It was if course frozen but it was still beautiful to see. There was maybe a small trickle of water going off the edge and the river was hardly moving. I took out my camera and started taking picture after picture. We met a nice English couple on the bridge and asked them to take our picture. This was definitely the best vacation in my life so far. Nothing could compare.

We then went out to Sentinel Bridge and ate some leftover pizza and took plenty more pictures. Man I love four gig memory cards. Then we just laid in the snow covered meadow on a few blankets we "borrowed" from the hotel (yes we are going to pay for damage if there is any…we aren't heartless) watching the clouds roll by and even going as far as guessing what certain one's looked like. I saw one that looked like an upside down ice cream cone and Emmett claims that he saw one that looked like a bear. I think his eye sight is bad because it looked nothing like a bear. We must have spent a few hours out there in the meadow just talking because I looked at my cell phone and it said 6:30. Wow the day sure went by fast; it was already getting pretty dark. We packed up the blankets and our trash and set for the truck again.

Emmett surprised me when he started heading back towards the village. I thought we were headed back for the hotel, but I was wrong again. He pulled up to The Ahwahnee Hotel. It was even more perfect that the Wawona. This hotel had a rugged outdoorsy vibe to it. It was made of logs and was HUGE! I wonder how much rooms cost here a night? Emmett told me to stay put and he came around the front of the truck and opened my door for me. What a gentleman. Then he took my hand and guided me through the huge wooden doors. The inside was just as wonderful as the outside. It was spacious and had a bunch of Indian artifacts scattered throughout the lobby. We made our way to the dining room. First making a pit stop in the restrooms to change. They had semi-formal attire here. I dressed in some black slacks and a blue blouse, and Emmett changed into a gray button-down shirt and black slacks. Thank god Emmett remembered this little tidbit of information.

He was taking me to dinner at the infamous Ahwahnee hotel. Have I mentioned yet how much I love this man standing next to me? Oh I have, well I am saying it again! I love Emmett Cullen!!!

"Baby, you are unbelievably amazing you know that. I love you." I said with a smile.

"I love you too, Bella. Now let's get some grub. I'm starving." He answered.

"Wow you really are a bottomless pit aren't you? Where does it all go I wonder?" I joked.

"Hey now, nothing wrong with a man who has a hefty appetite, and as for where it goes I have no clue, maybe I just have good genes."

After finishing our little discussion we walked up to the host stand and were seated right away at a table by the window. I ordered just water and Emmett did the same because I wasn't going to allow him to drive if he even had one beer to drink. Yes I am a stickler like that. I've had too many friends and family members lost over things like drinking and driving.

For the appetizer we ordered the Butternut Squash Bisque & Lobster Spring Roll and for entrées I got the Crispy Seared Steelhead Trout and he ordered the Slow Roasted Prime Rib au Jus. Once our order came up everything was very tasty. I even tried some of Emmett's prime rib and he tried the trout. We decided to skip dessert for some reason and left our server a decent tip.

He surprised me yet again we he pulled up to the little ice rink there in Curry village. Ice skating and Bella Swan, not such a good match but it was so romantic I couldn't pass it up. We got our skates and headed for the rink. The song "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton came through the sound system. It was the perfect song for the occasion. Emmett glided gracefully while I was having a hard time just trying to stay on my feet and less time on my ass. I finally got the hang of it and "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. came on and people started moving faster than me. I got knocked down by some blond chick, who didn't even apologize and a few other people fell over me. Guess I made one hell of a speed bump. It took me a few minutes to steady myself again then Emmett came out of nowhere and grabbed my hand to help me up. Just then "This year's love" started playing. This song basically summed up the way I felt about Emmett and the way he felt for me. He held me close through the whole song and whispered "I love you" into my ear and kissed my temple.

Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This year's love it better last

After the song ended I thought it was about time for me to take a break because my butt was really starting to hurt from using it as my injury buffer. So he helped me get off the ice and we went and sat next to one of the many little bon fires outside the rink. Emmett got the extremely bright idea to get some marshmallows, gram crackers and chocolate so we could make s'mores. So that's why he didn't order dessert at the restaurant, and I thought he was going out of his mind.

After making some makeshift marshmallow roasting sticks we hunkered down next to the fire and got to it. Emmett apparently liked his burnt to a crisp because next thing I know there is a flaming marshmallow melting off the end of his stick. My guess is he got side-tracked. His beautiful blue eyes were staring deeply into mine and he completely forgot about the marshmallow. I started laughing at him and he broke out of his spell. Muttering a 'dammit' and grabbing another one to roast, this time paying attention. He must have eaten eight s'mores and I only had three. It was getting pretty late so we changed back into our normal shoes and handed the skates back in and it was time to head back. Today was incredible but I was super beat now.

I ended up falling asleep on the way back and woke to Emmett carrying me to the room. He changed me into my pajamas because I wasn't coherent enough to do it myself and he shed down to his boxers and we crawled under the covers together. Wonder what's in store for tomorrow? That was my last thought before sleep overtook me.

~Saturday late morning~

I woke to Emmett planting wet sloppy kisses on my face and neck.

"Mmhmm. What time is it?"

"It's 10:30. Time to get up we are going out to breakfast at the Mountain House. I hear they have the best French toast around. So it's time to get up sleepy head."

I got up and hopped in the shower. I was all kinds of sore from our little ice skating excursion yesterday. I hope today won't require much effort. I could hardly move. My knees and butt hurt the worst.

After getting out of the shower I was met by Emmett with a cup of coffee. Oh how he knows me so well. I love it.

We got into the truck and headed for Oakhurst. Twenty minutes later we pulled into the little restaurant and headed inside. We ordered some coffee and of course the French toast platter that also came with eggs and bacon. Once our meal came out, my eyes just about popped out of my head. The French toast was huge. One slab of toast was almost a foot long. Thank god I only ordered one. Emmett on the other hand ordered three. I just looked at him like he was crazy.

Surprisingly enough he finished every last bit of his meal and even the rest of mine. He sure could pack it away. I always wonder how he doesn't get sick from eating so much food. It's a mystery to me.

After we finished eating we headed into town and stopped at the bowling alley for some plain old fun. We played a couple games of bowling which I won both of them. Woohoo! Something I'm good at the he isn't. Yes! We then went and played a few rounds of arcade games and one round of pool which he totally schooled me at. Damn.

Once we finished there we headed back to the hotel for an afternoon of leisure. Lord knows I needed it.

Upon getting back to the hotel room we made a fire and just relaxed and drank the bottle of wine we had gotten the other night. I was starting to feel a little buzzed and also a little hungry so Emmett went and got some food to bring up to the room. Seeing as the restaurant was closed at the moment he went to the store and got some snack stuff to tide us over until dinner.

"Thanks baby, I love you. This vacation was so wonderful I don't want it to end."

"I know babe me either, and I love you more." He said missing me on the cheek. I grabbed the bag of Doritos he bought and started munching on those. I guess I then fell asleep for a few hours because Emmett was calling me saying he was going to go to the restaurant and get some food to-go and bring it back here. I must have nodded in agreement because he left shortly after.

He came back forty-five minutes later carrying two boxes and a carafe of soda with two glasses in his hands. He sat next to the fire eating to our hearts content and talked the rest of the night until he was the one falling asleep. I gently kissed him taking his bottom lip between mine and whispered a 'good night' before falling asleep again. Tomorrow we had to leave early to get to Sacramento in time for our flight which was taking off at 2:30. Emmett wants to add an extra 2 hours to the itinerary to take me through the highway 140 exit and through Mariposa, Merced, Modesto and then arriving in Sacramento something around 1:00. Better to be early for your flight than to be late I say. We would be leaving around 8:00 tomorrow morning.

~Sunday Morning~

Ah the dreaded day has come. I didn't want to go back to Seattle and I didn't want him going back to Chicago either, but all good things must come to an 'end' or so they say. This vacation was awesome but we had to get back to real life.

We woke at 6:30 and took a shower, we fooled around while in there because who knows when the next time we would see each other would be. Then went to get some breakfast before the long drive to the airport. We went back to the room and packed up all of our things and Emmett went to go check out. The front desk clerk said we could leave our keys in the room if we weren't finished with it yet and then we packed up the car and headed towards the valley again.

We stopped to take picture of El Capitan because we didn't have time the other day and then were off again. Highway 140 was a very beautiful drive. Emmett wasn't kidding. The river was on the left of us all the way until a little bit past this little town called El Portal then we had to detour across the river because of a giant rock side that happened a few years back. The rocks were all glistening with the reminisce of snow and frost from the morning dew freezing over. It was a sight to see for sure.

The hills were covered in snow and the river was at a dead calm. An hour and a half later we reached another little town called Mariposa, and made a pit stop for some gas and some much needed snack, especially since we had Emmett in the car. He grabbed a couple of sodas, some water, sunflower seeds, cheetos, a bean and cheese burrito and some starbursts. Then we were off. We passed a bunch of small little towns on the way and only stopped a few times for bathroom breaks and more food for Emmett.

We finally got to the airport around 1:15 and sat in the little café right outside the security gates until around 1:45 then we got checked in and whatnot. I was not excited in the least for the hour long plane ride back to Seattle because it meant that as soon as we landed he would have to catch the next flight out back to Chicago. I was going to stay strong and not become a blubbering idiot in front of all these people. I would wait until I got home for that. We slowly boarded the plane that took me back to my own personal hell.
