Edwards gaze is piercing and I can feel it straight down to my toes.
Esme come back in the room though and he looks down at his drink.
Rosalie misses nothing though and she gives me a questioning look.
I shrug it off.
Dinner's ready, I follow behind everyone as they head to the dining room.
On one side of the table is Edward and Emmett with Jessica between them. I'm across from Edward and Rose is between Esme and I. Carlisle is at the head of the table.
Carlisle leads us through Grace, then we serve ourselves food and dig in.
I try to pay attention to the conversation, but it's hard to focus on anything when Jessica's hand disappears underneath the table.
I don't think anyone else notices and Edwards face doesn't give anything away.
"So, Rose, where's your date? Not that I mind you inviting the lovely Bella here tonight, but you did say you were bringing a guy here," Emmett says.
Rosalie sets down her fork and pauses. "Plans fell through."
"Yeah, sure, baby."
"I am not your baby, Emmett," Rosalie's voice is low but firm.
"Aww, come on. Don't be like that," Emmett replies, smiling.
I look around the table to see everyone elses reaction. Carlisle and Esme have their heads down, focused on eating. Edward too.
They're all used to this.
It's just Jessica and I that have our attention on them.
"Wheres your date, Emmett? I don't see you bringing anyone either," Rosalie replies.
"Plans fell through," he replies, mimicking her. "But hey, why don't you trade places with me? I might like to sit next to Bella."
Emmett winks at me. I can't help but blush and look away.
"Enough." Edwards voice startles me. It's harsh and low. "This is a family dinner. We have guests. Can you two just please act civil towards each other through dinner?"
He glares at Rosalie first, who stares back at him, hard. His gaze turns to Emmett, who just shrugs in response and goes back to eating.
"Sorry, Rosie," he says through a mouth full of stuffing. "You know I love ya."
Rosalie looks like she wants to say something else, but she instead bites her lip and takes a long sip of her wine.
"So, Jessica. How is work going?" Esme asks.
See you later today!
