Blonde Ambition (Twilight25, Round 9)

by ladylibre

COMPLETE! As inspired by 25 single-word prompts, these are 25 assorted drabbles, flashes, and possible one-shots centered on Rosalie Hale. Most of the entries will be tame, but I'm rating it M just in case. This character-focused 9th Round of the Twilight Twenty-Five is my first time out, and I'm hoping you'll join me!

7. Prompt 23: Tryst

The first time I cheated on Royce was a rainy Thursday.

He was late again.

I was alone. Again.

And Emmett was there.

He was our doorman and a friend.

But with a heartfelt "How are you really, Mrs. King?" he was there differently.

Tenderly.

Patiently.

Perfectly.

...

The twentieth time I cheated on Royce was our anniversary.

I tried not to feel guilty.

But failed.

And Emmett held me as I cried.

...

The last time I'll cheat on Royce will be tonight.

There are papers on his pillow beside my baguettes.

And Emmett will ride shotgun as I drive away.
