Chapter Seven: Slumber Party
Bella's POV
A few hours later Allison pulled up in a gorgeous Eclipse Spyder, and as I was smoking and talking with Jacob, I saw his eyes get huge and I couldn't tell if it was at the car or at Allison, she climbed out of the car already in her pajamas and I saw Jake's eyes wander over her body, I nearly gagged seeing my brother. It wasn't that Allison was ugly, it was the fact that my little brother was ogling one of my newfound friends. I slapped his arm bringing him out of his daze as she bent over and grabbed her bag out of the backseat. She wondered over to where we were sitting and I stood up pulling her into a hug. Her pajamas were adorable yet tomboyish, cute knit track shorts, a black and silver fox shirt and fuzzy grey boots.
"Jake, this is Allison, the girl I met at the bar I was telling you about." He nodded playing cool when I clearly just saw him staring at her like she was a piece of steak. I looked over at her as he was looking down and her face was adorable, Seemed like she thought he was cute. I devilish smile played on my lips, 'Dude your totally thinking like Alice now, gonna play match maker for your brother?' He had been single since Leah decided she wanted someone else after my brother had practically given her the sun moon and every star in the sky, I swore that next time I saw her I'd rip her pretty little face off. "Alright, we're going to head inside, if Alice and Rosie wanna play with the boys tonight we'll let you know and Maybe you guys can come cook for us." He laughed before hugging me tightly and heading off towards the bunk house.
"So Alli, giving my brother the eye eh?" She fidgeted with her hair, "Um, that guys your brother? No I was just uh." "Dude chill, Yeah he's my brother, adopted into the swan family along time ago," I laughed. Alice had rushed over to show off her ring, she hadn't stated any details and I figured we would all find out tonight. Let the sleep over begin!
After Alice had gushed about how amazing Jasper was and told us she pretty much already had her wedding plan, I heard everyone's stomachs grumble as well as my own. "Ugh I want Chinese, but I don't want to drive." Alice giggled, Before Rose interrupted. "No, Alice we are not bugging my brother besides if he comes over you know you wont let him leave. It's a girls night remember?" She frowned and crossed her arms, before smiling devilishly at me. "Hey Bella, why don't you go ask Emmett to take you to go grab some, I'm sure he would be glad to oblige." 'What on earth was she talking about, Emmett was nice and handsome and gorgeous…Okay shut up mind. But I didn't even know him that well, and I had just gotten divorced.' "Alice, what are you playing at?" "Absolutley nothing Bella, we're starving you don't want to drive, And I'm sure you don't really want the Jake driving your babies, And since the boys are out for the night and Emmett is still there." "Okay okay, I pulled on my bunny slippers not feeling like wearing shoes. As I walked over to the bunk house and knocked on the door.
The sight of Emmett in boxers was probably one of the most amazing things I had ever seen, His chest so defined and simply stunning he really looked like a greek god, Minus the adorable childlike features that played on his face. I was shook out of my staring by Emmett clearing his throat a huge smile on his face. As much as I wanted to turn around and run I couldn't. "Hey Em, can you Chinese take to me?" His face looked confused and I realized that I had totally just fucked up my sentence completely. "Sorry, had a couple beers," I lied quickly to cover myself. "Um, do you mind taking me to pick up some Chinese for us girls, we're kind of starving I don't mind getting you something either my treat." He nodded. "Let me go pull on some clothes, Although it looks like a pajama party." He laughed his adorable booming laugh before I walked in.
I stood there in my Purple and black lace pajama top and shorts, as I started to regret not putting on clothes before going to get food. He came down a few minutes later grabbing his keys as we climbed into his truck and took off down the road.
Two hours later we arrived back at the ranch both carrying enough Chinese food to feed an army. Rosalie jumped up from the small deck opening the door as she put out her cigarette and followed us inside.
Here I was walking Emmett back to the bunks to thank him for helping and to apologize for Alice deciding she wanted to interrogate him, We stopped at the front door as he pulled me into a hug, which at first I was surprised by but then I hugged him back.
Emmett's POV
I heard a knock downstairs and I figured one of the guys had left their keys so I ran down unlocking and opening the door in a pair of boxers, But to my surprise it was gorgeous Bella Swan, I tried not to stare at her delicate frame in shorts and a tank top. 'Twitch..Shit umm dead puppies, grandma in a bathtub.' I sighed an inaudible sigh as the images helped to keep the beast at bay. I wondered how long we had been standing there when I finally noticing that she was eyeing my body staring at me. I cleared my throat not able to hide the gigantic smile on my face before she mumble something that I could barely understand the words being so garbled. She quickly blamed it on beer even though she barely smelt like anything but strawberries. 'Did I really have that kind of effect on her? That she couldn't speak straight.' I nodded quickly answering her question before running upstairs to change. I get to spend more time with this gorgeous beauty even though I knew she wasn't ready to date again, not after what that bastard had done to her.
After getting the Chinese and heading back to the house I saw Bella looking pretty distant. "Hey, you okay?" She snapped out of it and smiled. "Yeah, sorry I was just thinking." "Its fine I was just wondering, so how are the puppies doing?" "Great actually, Bandit is probably the cutest dog ever, and Daphne is pretty hyper and crazy, Just like Alice." He laughed. "So I hate to ask, but are you seeing anyone?" 'Is she going to ask me out, no that's crazy she's probably just making conversation.' "No, me and my girlfriend kind of broke up and ever since then I just haven't met a girl I really like." 'Liar' "Oh what happened? Sorry that was rude, you don't have to tell me." "Its fine I don't really mind. So about a month ago now I was coming home early to take her out and when I got there their was a note. It said that she had gone out with her friends to a bar and that she would be home late. I really wanted to see her so I went to the bar and found her kissing some blonde haired guy who I had thought was her gay friend James. When she saw me she smirked and told me that it was over and I need to get out of her apartment because he was moving in, And ever since then I haven't seen Victoria." Her face was full of sadness for me and I shrugged. "Em I'm really sorry, you're a great guy from what I know and you don't deserve that." I smiled more, I loved that she called me Em. "Neither do you Bella, Your smart stunningly beautiful and an amazing and caring person." I saw that gorgeous red blush on her face as we pulled into the driveway.
After sitting around the table and starting in on the food, I heard Alice clear her throat. I looked over at the small pixie my best friend Jasper had loved so much. After countless questions, Alice had decided that was enough for now and returned to eating her food. I had already finished and Bella offered to take me back to the bunks. It was sweet of her and I gladly excepted.
So here we were standing at my door and I felt weird having a girl walk me to my door. I wanted to kiss her so badly but I knew that I couldn't so instead I pulled her into a hug and I felt her hesitate so I slowly started to let go as her arms wrapped around me hugging me back. My body was on fire feeling her touch and it was driving me crazy. When we finally pulled back Bella was biting her lip in that seriously alluring way before saying goodnight and wandering back to her house. I watched her before returning inside walking into my room knowing it was going to be another lonely night with my hand.
Bellas POV
I had felt so warm after Emmett had hugged me and I nearly whined when he released the hug. God what was I thinking, I had just gotten divorced.
After playing I have never with the girls I was seriously drunk and I havent been drunk in awhile but the questions Alice was asking it was like it was personally directed at me. Finally it came time for truth and dare, being drunk I honestly didn't care anymore and we all sat in a circle of pillows and blankets we had created on the floor.
"Bella, Truth or Dare?" "Truth" "Is it truth you want to fuck Emmett McCarty's brains out?" "ALICE!" "Answer the question Bella." "Fine, yes I really really do, jeez." She laughed as well as all the other girls, Psh payback is a bitch ladies. "Allison, Truth or Dare?" "Hmm Dare" "I dare you to ask my brother out on a date." "I change my mind truth." "Nope" I said popping the P at the end and handed her my phone. Already dialing Jacob's number.
"Hey Jacob, Its Allison. Yeah Bella's friend, Um so I was wondering, I know we kind of just met but um, Do you want to grab some dinner or something tomorrow night? Really, Awesome bye."
We all squealed at that as Allison gave me a devilish look. "Bella, truth or dare?" I shrugged, what's the worst she could do. "Dare." "Go kiss Emmett, right now." My jaw dropped. "Dude he's probably asleep," "No, your going and were going to come with you and hide out to make sure you do." I threw my hands up but Alice grabbed one of my hands and Rosalie grabbed the other pulling me out the door to the bunks. They knocked for me and I stood there as they went and hid.
"Bella, is everything okay?" He said pulling a shirt over his head. I grabbed his cheeks and kissed him on the lips. His arms wrapped around me and picked me up kissing me back roughly. The kiss deepened and I heard giggles from behind me, Luckily Em hadn't heard them as I broke the kiss. I ran back to the house as I heard him mumble wow. I blushed before turning smug at getting that reaction from him. We played a bit longer before passing out on the floor.
I woke up and my body shot up from the ground. Oh my god I kissed Emmett last night, and it was the most amazing thing ever. What was I going to do, of course he didn't want me I was used goods my husband, ex-husband, didn't even want. I slapped myself and ran to the shower turning on hot water before wandering outside.
Jake looked so happy and I was giddy for him, when I saw Emmett I hid behind a stall that was open and stared at him. He was smiling as he was cleaning a stall, 'Was he actually happy about the kiss. Sure I had wanted to do it, hell I wanted to do more, but I knew I couldn't not this soon.' He had spotted me and I quickly dropped something from my pocket picking it up and holding it in my hand to cover myself before walking over to him.
Emmetts POV
When I heard I knock on the door again luckily after I had finished what I was doing I grabbed a shirt and headed downstairs to see Bella standing there, She was definitely drunk. I asked her what was wrong and we both just stared at each other for a few minutes before I felt her hands on my cheeks and her lips on mine. I grabbed her waist lifting her up, her legs wrapping around me as I kissed her deeply, god her lips tasted so good and I never wanted them to leave mine. She pulled apart as I set her down and she ran in the direction of her house, I muttered a Wow, hoping she couldn't hear me before heading back upstairs for round two with my hand.
The next day I was extremely happy and I couldn't wait to see Bella. 'Wait she was drunk last night, what if she doesn't remember, what if she was just drunk and bored. God I'm so stupid, how could she possibly want me, It was too soon. Why did I have to kiss her back so deeply, Ugh.' I wandered outside but I couldn't wipe the damn smile off my face. I quickly put the mares out and started cleaning stalls I thought I had heard someone walk up but shrugged when no one approached me and got back to work. When I was done with the stall I saw Bella's foot on the ground and looked over at the door. She had quickly ducked behind it and I saw her stand up and hold something in her hand. 'Was she really spying on me? No of course not she had something in her hand, she probably dropped it.' I tried to hide my smile as she came over to me but it wasn't happening, it took everything in me to not kiss her again as she blushed. 'God that blush was going to be the death of me. Or those soft lips.'
"Hey Em, Whatcha doing?" I looked kind of blank, Wasn't it obvious? "Cleaning out the stalls, My boss is kind of a hard ass." She slapped my chest and I pretended like it hurt. To be honest I just loved the feeling of her skin on mine. 'God I was turning into such a woman for this girl. The girl I couldn't even have.' "So, I was kind of wondering, if you wanted to go grab coffee or something after work, maybe a bite to eat?" I nearly screamed yes but I regained my self control before nodding. "Yeah sure, just a warning though, I have a big appetite." She laughed. "Yeah I remember from last night, You nearly ate all the damn Chinese." To be honest the only thing I was hungry for right now was her lips.
Bellas POV
I really wanted to ask Emmett out but I didn't want to seem to straight forward, so I figured coffee and dinner seemed casual enough. Apparently Allison and I weren't the only ones with plans, Alice was going out with Jasper and his family, And Rosie had a date with someone that Alice knew from work and decided to set her up with. After Alice and Rosalie left, Allison had decided to stay and get ready here, I hadn't told anyone about my date because Alice would want to play Bella Barbie and Rosalie would've helped.
"So, are you excited about the date?" She nodded, "I kind of hate leaving you hear alone though." She really was a sweetheart with a tomboy exterior, It would be good for my brother to have someone like her in his life, as long as he didn't fuck it up. "Actually, I asked Emmett out for some coffee and dinner." Her eyes grew kind of wide and I was waiting for an Alice like response. "Dude that's awesome, I could kind of tell he liked you last night before and after the kiss." I was shocked, she nudged me playfully before we headed upstairs to get ready. She had told me she was taking Jacob to see one of the bands she worked with, Apparently Allison worked at a record label, setting up events and concerts. 'Did I seriously just find my brothers dream girl or something?' "Just make sure you have him home before dawn." I stated very motherly. She laughed and nodded before heading out the door to meet Jacob by her car. She climbed in wearing a striped tank with a small skull on the side, and jeans that had stars and stripes on the front but in a rock star fashion, with some flats knowing she would probably be jumping around at the concert. Jacob was wearing some loose jeans with a black shirt that fit him tightly and I shook my head heading back upstairs to finish getting ready. I pulled on a purple laced tank top and a denim skirt with a pair of peep toe heeled boots and placed my fang necklace around my neck. I shoved all my stuff into my newspaper clutch bag before walking downstairs to see Emmett wearing a purple Hurley shirt, denim jeans and some converse. I laughed getting his attention. Suddenly his booming laughter filled my body with warmth and tingles.
"Where you spying on me or something Bells? Trying to match me?" I laughed. "Oh no you caught me, Damn guess I better go change." He grabbed my hand and I felt the warmth again. "Its fine, you look stunning." I blushed, cursing my body on the inside for the damn reaction. "You don't look so bad yourself." He laughed as we decided to take my car, I had already ran his truck out of gas enough times.
We pulled up to a diner that was on the edge of town and walked in my hand still in his, I felt like I was in high school, hell the last time I had a date was in high school, if you could consider what me and Edward did as dates. I brought myself back to reality as we sat together in a booth, he casually draped his arm around my shoulders and I leaned against him. I don't know why but this felt right, but of course I would have to have the awkward conversation with him later about taking things slow. When our waitress came she was nearly drooling at Emmett and I simply glared at her. 'Stupid bitch, wasn't it obvious that he was with someone? Jeez.' I ordered a salad and a Dr. Pepper to start me off and a bacon cheeseburger after I had finished my salad, Emmett nearly ordered everything on the menu as I laughed. I kissed him on the cheek before the girl turned and walked away with our order.
"Damn Bells, Jealous much?" I scoffed and sipped my drink. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Don't worry, it was sexy." I shuddered pleasantly before turning to face him. "Em, I want to take this slow, please, I like you a lot, But I really just need this." He nodded and kissed my lips softly, before we heard someone clear their throat from behind us. I turned around and glared at the waitress as she set the food down and nearly ran away.
We ate and talked about our lives, I really wanted to meet Emmett's parents they sounded so nice, I could tell he was a mommas boy and I thought It was absolutely adorable. When the check came I made a mad dash for it but Emmett grabbed it first. "Seriously?" He nodded before placing his card down and paying the bill. We walked over to my car and drove back to the ranch. I didn't want this night to end so I figured a movie and some beer on the couch.
After watching some lame ass comedy and getting kind of buzzed Emmett and me walked to my door. He smiled up at me.
"I had a lot of fun Bella, Please say we can do this again." I giggled yep definitely buzzed. "Well its not hard when you live walking distance from my house and kind of work for me." He kissed me softly and I pressed my lips harder to his before we both pulled away breathing kind of heavily. I watched him walk back to the bunks before running upstairs and curling up on my bed in my pajamas having dreams about the gorgeous Emmett McCarty.
