Chapter 5

(Don't own anything Le sigh) Warning: as relationship progresses so do other things… future slight lems may take place… I don't go overboard but to the point. None in this chapter but felt I needed to get that out for future chapters. All my stories are always rated Mature for language, violence and sexual situations. Read at your own risk and also for future chapters keep in mind it's just a story and doesn't actually betray all characters to heart as Stephanie Meyer (Who's brilliant btw) intended. This is simply my idea and story. Thank you and R&R please.

"I better go hunt Bells."

Emmett whispers sliding out from underneath me. I tiredly nod. I feel him peck me on the cheek and feel the gust of wind as he exits my window but shuts it like always. I lean into the pillow taking in his scent and fall into a deeper sleep.

"Em?" I say feeling a cold breeze and I rise up and see my window is open and the curtain is flapping in the breeze.

I look around the room but don't see him. I get up and go to my window and look out wondering if he's outside somewhere but still I see nothing.

"That's odd he always closes the window." I say and close it.

I look around once more but decide he simply forgot and lay back down.

"You getting ready for prom this weekend?"

He asks as I get in the jeep.

"Yeah I guess."

"Well try not to sound too excited."

"I won't." I say trying to look mad but fail.

He nudges my arm.

"How'd you sleep Bells?"

"Good actually but you forgot to close the window."

He looks to me confused.

"I closed it. In fact I'm pretty sure I did."

"Maybe I did it who knows. It's no biggie."

Emmett looks towards the house.

"Calm down Em there's no one after me. Hell you've already taken them all out. It's an honest mistake one of us made."

Emmett sighs and drives on to school. He parks and I lean into his shoulder until the bell rings.

I rise up and see he still looks distracted.

"Em?"

He winks and kisses me.

"Let's get to class."

Emmett seems to be in stealth mode the entire school day. I find myself wishing I hadn't said anything about the window. He worries too much. I hated making him worry. Once lunch time is around I pull him under the bleachers on the football field.

"Everything's ok you know that right?"
He nods and puts his arms around me. I lean into his chest.

"I'm sorry just hard to turn off that mindset sometimes that's all."

Emmett looks around and gets that mischievous grin.

"So…" He pulls me in closer.

"Looks like there's no one around."

He pins me against the fence kissing me and running his hand along my waist and rear. He pulls back after too long.
"I better stop." He says and I see his eyes are black.

"Thirst?"

He laughs nervously.

"Uh you could say but it's not the kind of thirst you're thinking…"

"Oh!" I blush.

"Um yeah…"

Emmettpov

Yeah I wanted to rip her clothes off and have my way with her was what the problem was. But I doubt she'd like to hear that but then who knows. Bella surprises me sometimes. I'd a feeling that Bella was a little vixen and no one knew it. There was one thing Bella didn't know or maybe she did but just never voiced it. But we vampires can sense and smell arousal Bella has been aroused plenty of times making the whole be a gentlemen part for me a little too overwhelming at times. One of those times in fact was right now. She was practically dripping wet and it was beyond maddening. But if there was one thing vampire or not I always respected women and I'd never take advantage of her. That time would come eventually and I knew when it did I'd have to take extra precaution and care with her. I'd never forgive myself if I hurt her in anyway. In fact there was one more thing that had been bothering and I'd been dying to say for a few weeks now.

"Hey Bells."

She turns to me smiling.

"I love you."

I hear her heart rate skyrocket and this makes me smile vainly. Her mouth rather drops open as she holds her bag looking upon me.

She swallows.

"I love you too." But I notice her bottom lip quivering still she smiles.

I pull her towards me knowing she's about to break.

"Hey don't cry I can take my clothes off..."

"Shut up." She half giggles and hits my arm.

"Ok fine you can then."

"Nice try…"

"Worth a shot." I shrug.

Bellapov

I sit in class stunned and feeling like I'm on a cloud. In fact this doesn't even seem real. I catch myself looking to Emmett off and on. The way he said it and that was the first time he'd ever said that even now I have to fight the silly girlie tears. Ugh stupid emotions stupid, stupid.

"Hey have you got a dress yet?" Angela whispers.

I look to her wide eyed realizing that no I in fact haven't even begun to think of prom dresses and it's in 3 days now. Crap…

"Um nope."

"Me either want to come with me to Seattle today and we could help each other out? Jessica already got one naturally probably like months ago to."

I laugh on this figuring she was dead on.

"I'd like that maybe we could grab a bite to eat or something." Plus that could give poor Emmett a breather.

Once the bell rings Emmett and I get in the jeep as he takes me home.

"Will you let me give you money for the dress and dinner tonight?"

"No Em."

"Come on Bells please just let me do this. I have money I don't even know what to do with just let me pay for you to have a good outing with Angela and get whatever dress your heart desires."

"Em I can't do that."

"You're a pain you know that."

I laugh on this but see he really looks hurt.

"Em you know I mean nothing by it… It just feels wrong."

"Why Bells?"

I shrug.

"It shouldn't feel wrong I'm offering I want to do this."

"Em baby I just don't want to be one of those girls."

"What girls?"

"The kind that uses men like that."
Emmett laughs a hardy laugh.
"Oh Bells hun you're the furthest thing from a gold digger."

Emmett parks in front of my house and takes out his wallet.

"What the hell this is like 200 dollars!"

He shrugs.

"Do you know how expensive things are nowadays?"

"Do you? You old man you?"
"Watch it wiper snapper. Seriously take the money I don't want a dime of it back. I want my girl to go out and have fun get a sexy dress or maybe a two piece or something."

I blush and hit him.

"You're going to break your hand if you keep doing that."

"Fine but this isn't going to be a reoccurring thing Em this just isn't me."

"I know and thank you."

I sigh.

"Hey no guilt I mean it go have fun on me."

"Ugh I hate them all." Angela says staring into the mirror.

"I don't know I liked the black and lavender ones on you."

"You should get the blue or black." Angela says.

I think of Emmett and lean more towards the black.

"Yeah I think I'm getting the black one."

"Cool then since you're getting black I'll get the lavender."

"Done deal." I shrug but seriously hated this.

Not the being with Angela and going out just the whole shopping thing ugh. I was glad that part was over. I grab the dress I'm going to buy and do a double take out the store window. I sigh in relief knowing I was just seeing things as they're no longer there.

"Hey you ok?"

"You looked as if you saw a ghost?"

"For a moment I thought I had." I swallow on this thought and know it's nothing as there's no one there now.

"You sure you're ok you're kind of shaky."

"I'm fine just nerves I think."

Angela and I have a nice dinner and good talk before we part ways and head home.

"You girls have fun?" Charlie asks as I enter the door.

"Yeah dad we did actually."

"Wait is that a prom dress?"

I nod.

"You? You're going to prom?"

"Um yeah… I guess."

Charlie laughs and shakes his head.

"You never seize to amaze me Bella. Anyways I got an early start in the morning. Goodnight hun."

"Goodnight dad."

I enter my room and see a pink rose on the bed. I gasp as it all comes together. The fresh lilies on my mother's grave and the flowers on my bed…

"Em?" Had he been doing that the whole time. I thought it was my dad.

I start feeling all emotional again and pick up the rose. I hear a tap at the window and see Emmett. I wave him inside.

"Em were you the one leaving the flowers all this time?"

"Is that ok?"

I nod teary eyed.

"The lilies too?"

He nods.

"Em…"

"Hey…" He sits next to me on the bed and puts his arm around me.

"That's like the sweetest thing ever. I can't believe you thought to put lilies on my mother's grave. You don't know how much that means to me." I lose all composure embarrassingly.

"The way I see it she made you it's the least I can do."

Emmett holds me till I fall asleep. I hear him whisper goodnight before he leaves.

"Night Em." I say tiredly.

Once again that feeling comes over me as I rise in the middle of the night. My hair stands on end and I search the room. But the window is closed so I lay back down. I sigh knowing I'm being ridiculous. I lay there for a few more moments and eventually sleep finds me again.

Emmettpov

I park outside her house feeling rather anxious. I check myself over in the rearview mirror. I've never felt more human than I do now. Bella makes me feel that way and tonight especially as I walk up to her door.

Charlie answers the door and gives me the look. He clears his throat and looks up stairs.

"Bella."

Bella comes down the stairs and I feel like I've died all over again.

"Damn Bella." I say forgetting her father was there momentarily.

She blushes.

"Watch your tongue boy."

Charlie warns and I swallow.

"Dad." Bella says shaking her head.

"Sorry sir."

"Just ignore him Em." She says wrapping her arm around mine.

"I want you back by curfew!"

"I know dad."

I open the jeep door for Bella.

"You own that dress now right?"

She nods.

"Thank God!" I practically purr.

She blushes but runs her hand along my chest.

"Very sexy Em."

"I do try."

"I seriously doubt you ever have to try."

Now if I were human I'd have blushed.

"Well thank you Bells."

I pull into the gym parking lot. I get out then walk around and open the door. She takes my arm and we head towards the building.

"Wait…" I pull her towards me kissing her.

"I wanted to do that when I first saw you in that dress but figured your dad wouldn't be too keen on the idea."

"Probably not." She grins but keeps running her hands along my chest which I love.

"Now let's go cause havoc."

"Well of course."

Bellapov

I'm not one for prom or the whole big celebration idea. But I am a stickler for doing nothing but leaning into Emmett's chest feeling his hands around me and pretending as though we're the only two that exist.

"So am I doing this right?"

"This is perfect Em."

He kisses the top of my head.

"Good. That's what I like to hear."

Once prom ends we say goodbye to our friends and Emmett takes me home.

"You're beautiful you know that?"

"Em…" I turn away knowing that's not quite true. I'm very ordinary in comparison to Emmett that is very true.

"Now you stop that. I always noticed that about you. You've always been beautiful yet you've so much self-doubt it was always written all over your face. I just never understood why."

"You noticed?"

"Yeah, just certain instances I'd look over and it was clear as day to me. I hate to say it but it was more pronounced when you were with my brother."

I sigh not sure what to say about that.

"Well I for one could stare at you all day."

I think back to when he was with Rose and picture her face if she ever once thought he looked at me that way. Then I picture myself with no face because that's exactly what would have taken place. I laugh slightly on this.

"Whatcha thinking about?"

I shrug.

"Nothing really." I wasn't about to reiterate that thought.

"I know it's not your thing Bells but thank you for letting me take you to prom."

"Actually thank you for asking. I surprisingly had a great time and hey I only stepped on your toes a 100 times instead of 101!" I truly was surprised that I enjoyed prom as much as I did. But I imagined it was just because it was Emmett and that made things more bearable.

He laughs.

"You can step on my toes anytime you want. Now you go get some sleep."

"Love you Em."

"Love you too Bells."

He pecks me on the lips and runs his fingers through my hair.

"So how was it kiddo?"

"It was really nice actually dad."

"You enjoyed prom?"

I nod.

"Well that's cool then I guess. So was he nice to you?"

"Dad Emmett's not one you ever have to worry about I can promise you that."

"You thought that about that Edward kid and remember what he…"

"DAD! OMG just don't do this ok don't ruin this for me!"

Charlie sighs and puts his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm sorry that was out of line. Even your old man makes stupid mistakes. I'd no right to bring that up Bella." He sighs again.

"It's ok it's just not something I want to think about besides it was 2 years ago now. That and well Emmett's not Edward."

"Can I ask what this guy thinks about what his brother did to you?"

"To be honest dad I think it kills Emmett at times more than it does me if you can believe that." I say and head to my room.
"Maybe he's not so bad then after all." I hear my dad mutter.

"Well prom's over and now we graduate next week." Jessica says as Emmett pulls me into his lap.

"Seems so fast doesn't it." Angela adds.

I shrug.

"I suppose so yeah."

"So what are you two's plans? You know for after you graduate?"

Emmett and I look to one another.

"Surely you two have discussed something…" Jessica says looking directly at me.

"We're both not the type to really plan things out. We just see what happens."

"Ugh. How can you stand that?"

"Because it doesn't matter as long as we're together."

I turn to Emmett amazed by his answer. He nods and pats my thigh.

Graduation day:

"GRRRR." He growls out as he's on top of me.

I can't help but to laugh.

He kisses me once more and rubs against me.

"Damn I really should go but honestly don't want to." He says running his hand along my waist.

I put my arms tighter around him.

"You're killing me you know that?" He mutters and I simply nod.

"We graduate in two hours Bells."

"Yeah hmmm."

He laughs shaking his head.

He forces himself to roll over and looks to the ceiling.

"I'll see you at graduation evil girl." He says leaping out of my window.

Emmettpov

If I were human I'd have to take the coldest shower known to man. I decide a hunt maybe best to curve part of the appetite but honestly hunting was truly the last thing I wanted to do right now. I wondered if a vampire could die from pure lust? At times it felt as though I would nothing like walking around with a permanent hard-on but hell the make out sessions were worth it. We both wanted it I knew that but I never go any further out of fear alone. I've mapped it out a million times in my head but I honestly keep chickening out. I could just imagine if I broke her pelvis or something I mean I really don't know how it all works with a human and a vampire. Is it possible? What would I do if I hurt her? What does she think about all this? I mean hell it's no secret she feels the same I sense and feel everything coming off her. But was she just as concerned as I was? I trust myself not to hurt her in every other way but I don't know how to go about sex. I suppose it's just one of those things we figure out soon enough but then I've the other selfish thought. The one I dare not bring up and feel like an ass every time I even think about it. But I often fantasize about turning her and making her my mate. Completely selfish I know she's got her whole life ahead of her… Yet I remember when she wanted to be one of us. I wasn't sure if she'd changed her mind about all of that or if it was different with me. Was it just because it was Edward or could she ever feel that way about me? Would there ever be a time Bella would want that with me? For now though it didn't matter. I was thankful for what I had with Bella and I would gladly take whatever I could get even if we never had sex or if she never wanted to be a vampire. I could understand actually if Edward killed that part of her. Could I blame her if so? She might not ever see it the same way again.

Though the thought scared me a bit I knew I wasn't going anywhere. That's one thing I never understood about my brother and never will. I couldn't imagine taking one look at Bella her begging me to stay and turning my back on her. I knew I could never in a million years do that to her. Not only because I couldn't stand to hurt her but because leaving her would absolutely kill me and I would feel as though I'd never be me without her.
