A/N: So, so sorry that this took so long to get out. EmmaleeWrites05 went on vacation to Vegas for a few days – and came back injured! Sprained her bicep tendon in her right shoulder and she cant move her arm hardly at all! So, Please leave lots of love for a quick recovery in the reviews because this chapter was incredibly painful for her to write.
P.S. The last name mentioned in this chapter as a guest at the hotel – it is a real person's last name. MsNaomi05 really ran across this couple at the hotel she actual works at...we do use a lot of real things that have happen to the two of us in this story. Like, the car Alice drives is EmmaleeWrites05's car. And the part about Edwards birthday (the sliding down the stairs and the movie scream) was MsNaomi05's actual birthday party when we were younger. Just though you guys would appreciate knowing that a lot of what you read are true events that we have been through.
As a reminder, EmmaleeWrites05 is writing Emmett's POV and MsNaomi05 is writing all of Bella's. Enjoy.....
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight. We just borrow the character's to go to Emmettland whenever possible.....
Oh yeah, and we don't own any of the movies listed in this story either. We just love to watch them.....
Emmettland is Candyland...
Bella POV
After Alice called me that night a week ago I was so psyched that Emmett was going to be here for my birthday. I even let Alice drag me shopping with her for some new outfits and what not. I was on a natural high so to speak. I must have gotten a dose of Alice's happy juice because I was right along with her picking out things I liked, with her opinion of course. She was a fashion diva so whatever she thought I agreed to.
She even dragged me to the dreaded Victoria's Secret for some matching undergarments, and lingerie. You would think I was getting laid or something? Then my mind went off into Emmettland. I was daydreaming about that gorgeous body one minute and then spending 150 dollars on underwear the next. What the hell? Alice and her witchy ways.
After a long day of shopping with Alice, I was spent. As soon as we got home I made dinner which was frozen pizza because I really didn't feeling like doing anything else. Afterwards we sat in the living room and watched Juno. That movie is all kinds of awesomeness and the music is just that much better. When the credits started rolling down the screen I took my leave because I have to get some sleep for work the next morning.
I yawned a 'goodnight' to Alice before shuffling my way to my bedroom that was down the hall. I got into my number 23 Bear's jersey and sweats and climbed into bed setting my alarm beforehand. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light, and six restless hours later my alarm was screaming at me to wake up. I lazily jumped into the shower, then got dressed and put my hair into a wet pony tail, scrambled to the kitchen for my cup of coffee and headed out the door all within a half hour. I made it to work 5 minutes early today.
Another glorious day in the life of Bella Swan - I thought to myself with some much needed sarcasm.
I was in the midst of explaining an elderly woman's bill to her. Her last name was enough to send me into hysterics alone. I didn't want to say it out loud for fear of pronouncing it dead wrong. Who has the last name Fukacunt? So I decided just to call her ma'am. She saw my distress and calmly stated "it's pronounced 'Fuke ah coont' it's German." Wow my mind was definitely wrong. I was going to say Fuck a cunt…wow that would have been embarrassing. I felt my cheeks turn hot with the blush rising to them. Anyways back to the story at hand.
She thought that the room service was complementary. Ha that's a funny one. Nothing is free in this world anymore. I was trying calmly to explain this fact to her without blowing my top. Time for that vacation now if a little old lady was annoying the hell out of me. It took me and James to square things away with her.
Thank goodness tomorrow I don't have to do the checking out. I have the night shift and worked with Angela who is one of my really good friends and knew that Emmett was going to show up sometime that night. I got the tingly feeling at the thought of seeing him again after so long of being without my Emmett fix. I even started watching games with Jasper when the Bears were playing some random team. I watched the game they played against the Broncos. They totally slaughtered them. Go Emmett! I mean go Bears! Ha Ha.
Wow this whole love feeling is kinda rejuvenating. I like it.
I was totally excited to see him again but also dreading the reunion because I hadn't heard from him since he left the last time. He could have at least called or something. I got an uneasy feeling that Alice was just messing with me for the comment at the carnival a few weeks back and had to wonder if she was getting her revenge by telling me that Emmett was really coming back. If that's the case I was so going to kick some pixie butt. So I did some investigating on the computer at work, and sure enough Emmett Cullen popped onto the screen with a reservation from the 11th to the 15th. Seeing as I was at work I had to keep my excitement bottled up or people would think I was crazy psycho chick. Wait I already am!
So sitting alone in my room that night I let out the pent up excitement and was jumping up and down on my bed adamantly. I heard a small knock on my door and stopped abruptly and went to my door. Of course it was Alice in all her glory looking at me questioningly.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" Alice's small bell voice rang out.
"Um….nothing why?" I said trying to escape the 20 questions. Boy was I dead wrong.
"Because it sounds like a herd of elephants just ran through your room. Were you doing a marathon in your room or something? What is your deal?" She looked a little irritated.
"OH that…I was just jumping on the bed. Ya know needed to feel like a little kid again. Oh and I'm just totally excited that Emmett checks in tomorrow night sometime. One of the only reasons I thank god I will be at work tomorrow evening!" I yelled with enthusiasm.
She then barged into my room and joined me in my excitement. We then both got on the bed and started jumping. Not soon later we heard a loud boom on the floor. We must have pissed off the people below us so we suddenly stopped and collapsed onto the bed in a fit of laughter. I haven't felt this good in ages. Ok it was only a month but whatever.
The next morning I didn't have to be to work until noon so I caught up on my sleep. Around 10:30 Alice again knocked on my bedroom door and opened it quietly. She crawled into my bed with me and handed me a cup of java. Man I love my roommate! She knows me oh so very well.
We just sat there in silence until the coffee was gone from our mugs. Then she looked at me with a giant smile on her face. "So Bella, you excited to see Emmett today?"
I shot out of bed and started clapping my hands uncontrollably. Wow I feel like a giddy kid on Christmas morning waiting to open my presents. In my case, seeing Emmett again. "Hell yeah I'm excited. I'm more than excited I'm…words can't even explain it."
She shot me yet another smile and replied, "So I was right. Bella's in love!" Her voice echoed throughout the room.
I paused and looked at her..."Yeah I think so; it's weird Alice I can't get him out of my head."
"That's how it was for me when Jasper walked into my life. Now we are inseparable." She said happily.
"Wow." Was my reply.
Around 11 o'clock I started getting ready for work with the normal routine. Shower, dress, hair/make-up, eat and then start my old beater truck. With of course, Alice barging in and fixing my hair saying I had to 'be presentable'.
God it was the most boring day at work by far. Patience is something I don't have much of so around 2pm I started getting antsy. Angela kept glancing over at me as if she wanted to ask me what my problem was but never said anything.
I finally started getting on other people's nerves so I decided to go into the back office and do something productive like organize and clean because the office was starting to look a little cluttered. I told James of my activity and he complied without a fight. It took me about two hours to get everything in order back there.
It was an incredibly slow night so Angela didn't really need my help at the front desk. Around 6:30 I took my lunch when my stomach started growling something fierce. I walked to the little deli that thank god was still open and ordered a Pastrami Reuben sandwich with all the fixings. Swiss cheese, 1000 island dressing, sauerkraut and Pastrami on rye bread. Yum! I also ordered a side of potato salad and a Dr. Pepper. To say I was hungry was an understatement, I was freaking famished. I sat down and devoured everything in the span of my half hour lunch break. Then I made the short walk back to work.
It was now 7:10 and it was still a little boring but business was starting to pick up. I was doing the normal checking people in and answering questions about the city. Thank god this is occupying time or I would be glancing at my watch every minute wondering when Emmett would be here. Around 7:45 I was checking in this cute little old couple. It was their 45th anniversary and they chose here to be together. Awww how sweet.
When I was finished checking them in I got the tingly feeling again and looked up to see if there was anyone else in line. When I my eyes landed on him they went wide with exhilaration. He's here!!! I can't believe it. Before I knew it I had a huge smile plastered on my face and said his name a little louder than expected, and ran from behind the desk tripping on that stupid stair we climb up to get there but caught myself before I fell flat on my face. Embarrassment shot through me and my face was probably the color of a cherry tomato by now. I finally made it to him and wrapped my tiny arms around his torso with all my might. The next few minutes we were talking and he told me how he didn't call because he washed my number off his hand by accident and didn't think to call the hotel, and told me he wanted to spend the weekend with me but wouldn't tell how he wanted to spend it then Angela chimed in.
"Hey Bella you going to introduce me or what?" She asked.
I was so caught up in the moment I forgot she was even standing there. "Oh sorry Angela…Angela this is Emmett Cullen, Em this is Angela."
We went over the pleasantries and then Angela asked something I was not prepared for in the least. "So are you two like, dating?"
Me and Emmett looked at each other not really knowing the answer to that myself. Then my brain started concocting my life with Emmett in it and a grin graced my face. Then Emmett said something that caught me totally off guard.
"Yeah, Angela, I guess you could say that Bella's my girlfriend.....as long as she says it's okay...?" My mind was going crazy now. So I looked into the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen and said, "Yeah Angela, he is my boyfriend."
After I got off work I went home after prying myself from Emmett and got into my old rusty truck. When I got home Alice was standing at the door waiting for me. I leapt into her arms and squealed with glee. She reciprocated with the same squeal and we both walked into the apartment. I told her about his surprise for in the morning and about the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. She was so happy and then she told me her and Jasper were going away for the weekend. Score a weekend alone with Emmett. Wait a second, she is a sneaky little pixie she probably planned this with him. I tried to grill her but she was a closed book. She did however help me pick out something comfortable to wear for tomorrow morning.
I woke up around 8:30 the next morning and Alice was long gone to work so I was to get ready all by myself. At least I knew that I was not going to walk out the door after Alice attacked me with gallons of makeup and hair-spray. I got dressed in the faded old jeans and black tank top that we had decided on last night and added some flip-flops to the mix. I didn't even bother with make-up and put my hair into a loose braid. This was definitely comfy for me.
Around 9:50 I heard a knock on the front door and checking myself in the mirror one more time I walked out of the bathroom to answer it. There Emmett stood clad in cream colored cargo shorts, a Black wife beater, and flip-flops. Apparently our versions of comfy are basically the same.
Emmett POV
I woke up at 7 o'clock. 7 AM! I could not sleep anymore. I was excited and anxious to spend some real time with Bella. Just her and me and sometime to get to know the real us. I took an extra long shower trying to prolong the time. I quickly got dressed in a pair of shorts and my black undershirt. I didn't even bother looking in the mirror. Today was supposed to be a comfortable relaxing day. No worries.
I went over to my laptop and decided to do a little researching. First to find a map to Bella's place, then somewhere for a brunch, then a movie rental place. Bella lived in an apartment complex on 11th ave and there was a Denny's and a Blockbuster on 15th avenue. After I programmed the directions in my iPhone, I left. It was 9:15 and I didn't care anymore if I showed up early.
I pulled up to her apartment and made my way up to her floor. I knocked on the door and waited. It flew open seconds later to a very beautiful Bella. She had jeans, a black tank top and flip flops on. We were almost mirror images of each other.
"Wow....guess we think a lot alike." She blushed a little at my comment.
"Yeah, I guess so." She turned and grabbed her wallet and keys off the table. She locked the door behind her and turned to meet me, "So where to?"
I grabbed her hand and entwined our fingers. She smiled and looked down. It felt like I was in high school all over again and picking up my first girlfriend for our first date. I had the stupid butterflies in my stomach and everything. We had already seen each other naked yet we are getting all goofy about holding hands as couple. "You'll see..."
I lead her down the stairs to my rental car. I unlocked the doors and she just froze. "You drive this?" She asked in awe.
"Something wrong with this?" I gestured to my rental car. It was a 2006 dark blue Toyota Tacoma v6 with a TRO off road package lifted with mud tires. I picked this truck every time I had to rent a vehicle. I had been considering buying myself one, but I already had the jeep.
"This is my dream car. I LOVE this truck." So hot. She knew a good vehicle when she saw one. She climbed into the front seat and I made my way back around to the driver side. I climbed in and got us out onto the road, I reached over and grabbed her hand and smiled. I heard her stomach growl and I smiled at her.
"Oh good, you're hungry." I laughed. She blushed a little.
"Quite, actually."
"Good cause we are going to get something to eat." I said as I pulled up in front of Denny's. She literally lived right down the street from it.
"Oo, I love Denny's. Best French toast ever!" We made our way inside and had breakfast. She had the French toast and I had the combination omelet with hash browns. Breakfast passed in easy conversation. I found out that Bella's mom, Renee, lived in Phoenix part of the year and travel the rest of the year with her husband Phil who was a minor league baseball player. Bella's father, Charlie, was a cop in Forks not so far from here. I told Bella about my brother Edward in more detail, no birthday party stories this time. He was my manager and helped me with my finances and sponsorships. I explained that my folks lived in Chicago too. Carlisle was a doctor and Esme was an interior designer. All in all, breakfast was very enlightening.
"So what now?" She asked as we walked the little distance between Denny's and Blockbuster. They were on the same block. I just smiled at her. I brought her hand up to my lips and kissed the back of it. We strolled in comfortable silence until we got to the outside of Blockbuster.
I pulled her to a stop and looked at her. Her big brown eyes just looked at me with curiosity radiating from them. "Alice kind of filled me in on all the traipsing around town she has forced you to do since I left. So....I figured you might really enjoy a weekend in that would be relaxing?"
"You have no idea just how good that sounds." She let out a little sigh.
"Good. So here is my idea. We each go in there..." I motioned towards Blockbuster, "And we each get to pick four movies of our liking. We don't get to know what other picked until we get home. We will also go by the store and get a massive amount of all the best kinds of junk food. Pj's will definitely be included so will pillows and blankets to get comfortable on. Sound good?"
"That sounds awesome." She smiled a huge grinned and pulled me into the store. We went our separate ways once inside and started to pick our favorites. I tried really hard not to spy on Bella and what she was picking. Once I saw her in the romance section I thought I was doomed to watching chick flicks all weekend. Then I saw her dart over to the comedy and the horror. Never mind. This could be very interesting. We made it up front with our eight movies when I figured it out. They were never going to let us rent this many.
Bella just took the movies and walked up to the counter. "Hey Ben."
The guy looked up from the counter and smiled at Bella and then took notice of me. "Hey Bella...How are you?" He looked between Bella and me again.
"I'm good. So I have a favor to ask."
He looked at Bella and then me again. This guy was starting to bug me a little. He lowered his face to hers and whispered kind of loudly, "Angela told me you were dating him, I didn't believe it, but.....wow." I walked up behind Bella now and extended my hand, "Hi, I'm Emmett."
He shook my hand and mumbled a 'nice to meet you'. I think he was shocked.
"Anyways, Ben....I need a favor..."
"Shoot...."
"We want to rent these eight movies for the weekend. You know, a movie marathon weekend. Can you put four on my account and four on Alice's so that I can get them all?"
He slid the stack towards him, "Yeah no problem." He started adding them to the list when he looked over and laughed, "Did you guys each decide to pick four movies each or something?"
Bella looked at him, "Yeah why?"
"Well, it's just that one of your selections....well you picked the same movie twice."
I laughed, "Sweet what movie did we both pick?"
"The Boondock Saints." Wicked. Bella has great taste! You can usually tell a lot about someone by what three or four movies they would choose. "I'll just put this one back so then it is only seven movies for you."
I quickly paid, much to Bella's arguing and got in the truck. Next to the super market. We grabbed a basket and started loading it up with all the essentials. Chips and dip, popcorn, kettle corn, Twinkies, Dr. Pepper, Reese's, Junior Mints, frozen pizzas, hot pockets, peach rings, licorice, cheez its, Blue Moon Beer for later, starburst, mint chocolate chip ice cream and oreos. You'd think we were feeding an army, but with me around....this was good enough.
I paid again, even though Bella was now trying to throw a fit that I was paying too much. We loaded up our plunder and made it back to her apartment. I grabbed my bag out of the back seat that had some spare clothes, deodorant and a toothbrush in it. Bella looked at me and raised her eyebrow, "Planning on letting me know you were staying the night?" She laughed and grabbed a couple of the bags.
"Well, I thought I'd come prepared. Besides, can't hardly have a movie marathon weekend without pj's." I grabbed the rest of the bags and we made it up to her apartment. We made quick work of putting away the groceries. She pointed out the bathroom so I could change into my pj's and she went in her room.
I brought my dark green and blue flannel pajama bottoms and I figured my black wife beater would have to stay. I usually just sleep nude but I didn't know how well that would go over with Bella. I smiled, I wonder what she slept in.
I stepped out in the living and sat on the couch waiting for her. Neither one of us had looked at the movies yet to see what we picked. I knew it was half the fun to find out from each other. Bella's bedroom door opened then and my jaw dropped. Who knew innocent little pj's could be so sexy. Alice had to have something to do with it. She was wearing a pair of short shorts that were a dark blue color that said 'peace' right across the ass in pink and a blue tank top that matched. Along the edges of the tank top was some pink lace. It looked like something girls would buy a Victoria's Secret.
I laughed a little out loud and she stopped. She put her hands on her hips, "What so funny mister?"
"Do your shorts really say 'peace' across the ass?" I was trying so hard not to laugh.
She turned a little to look at them, "So what if it does?" She smiled.
"You know what that makes you?" She shrugged. "You're a "peace" of ass." I couldn't hold in the laughter any more.
She opened the hall closet and started throwing some big plushy blankets at me and on the floor in front of the TV. She was beat red and laughing right along with me. I grabbed the blankets and started to spread them out on the floor. She went into her room and came back seconds later with a bunch of pillows. I grabbed the bag of movies and sat on the floor. She sat across from me Indian style. "You know how long it's been since I have had a movie marathon and actually laid on the floor with a bunch of blankets?" I asked her.
"Alice and I do this at least twice a month if not more." I laughed and handed her the bag with her movies in it. We had Ben bag them separately so that we could surprise each other.
"Okay, You first missy." She rummaged through her bag and then looked at me.
"Okay, so you already knew one of my picks because you picked it too. Awesome choice by the way....Okay first choice for me....I have to be a girl and pick Pride and Prejudice because I absolutely love the book."
I laughed, "That's fine cause Keira Knightly is hot." She laughed and gestured to me for my first pick. "Okay....mine is The Professional. Gotta love Leon." I even said the last part in the same French like accent he uses through the film.
She laughed, "That's a good movie actually." Sweet good taste. "Okay, my second pick....Major Payne. One of the funniest movies ever."
I laughed and quoted, "Boy, I am two seconds from being on you like white on rice.."
And she finished my quote, "...in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm." We busted up laughing at each other for being able to quote that movie so well.
I finally was able to pull myself together and go on, "Okay okay okay, my second choice, is The Fifth Element. Gotta love those action movies."
"Yeah and the half dressed girl kicking ass throughout it." She smirked and I laughed. "Okay and my final pick. You can't laugh at me though..." she pointed at me in a somewhat menacing way, "My final pick is Interview with a Vampire."
I laughed loudly, "I freaking love vampire movies. Bring it on."
She laughed at me, "Okay so what is your final pick?"
"How about I quote it and you try to guess since your movie knowledge is so good?"
"Okay, bring it!" She sat up all straight like she was ready for a test.
In my best Adam Sandler voice possible, I quoted, "Sooo Hot. Want to touch the hinney." Bella fell over backwards laughing so hard. She threw her arms up in air and yelled, "YES! I LOVE BILLY MADISON!"
We couldn't decide what movie we wanted to watch first so we wrote down the names of each one and threw them into a hat. I let Bella draw first and we grabbed a pad of paper. We would watch Major Payne first, then Fifth Element, followed by Interview with a Vampire, Billy Madison, Pride and Prejudice, The Professional and finally the Boondock Saints. She went and grabbed a handful of the sweets we bought as I set the first movie up. I laid the pillows on the edge of the couch and scooted up on them. She sat down next to me and started dumping all the candies into a giant bowl – mixing them together. I put my arm around her and settled in as the first movie started to play. She leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips and then popped a Reese's pieces in my mouth. I realized then that I was falling more in love with this girl the longer I spent with her. I found my home. My home was with Bella.
A/N: I wanna sit on the floor and watch a bunch of hilarious movies with Emmett while eating a ton of sugar! So, please review and show us your love for Emmett and a sugar induced coma!
