Chapter 17 - The Party Part 1
The guests stood around in little clumps talking amongst themselves while Carlisle severed the others at his makeshift bar in the kitchen doorway. The dress code had read smart casual though most came simply smart. Emmett's colleagues and the Cullen family made up the majority of the party mixed with a few of his cousins. Edward ran around asking how people were or if they needed anything but most declined instead asking about his health and congratulating him on his unborn child. He acted the good host and answered them before moving swiftly on to the next grouping. Carlisle passed him a watered down vodka and coke; the family had agreed to allow him to drink only if in small amounts.
'You're doing well.' His father commented sipping his own Bourbon.
'I'm worried; Emmett's already half an hour late.' Edward sighed checking his watch for the second time that minute 'I told Rosalie to get him here at 8.' Esme slid in beside her husband giving him a peck on the cheek. Carlisle grinned down at her newest dress; a bright red knee length dress that matched her lipstick. He'd brought it after the news about Edward's illness, not that he told his beloved that, and had yet to see it on her.
'That had better be watered down.' She told her husband firmly who nodded in reply 'Edward could you help Bella bring up the food from the car?' passing her son the keys she motioned to said female waiting by the door. Edward groaned but did as told; he was meant to be keeping an eye out for his brother. Bella laid her hand on his forearm when he reached behind her for the door.
'He'll be here.' She promised rubbing to sooth him 'Rosalie text me 20 minutes ago saying they're on their way but Traffic's been bad.' Edward nodded as they headed down to the car.
Bella stood back while Edward popped the boot of Esme's BMW 6 Series. Esme had told her there wasn't too much; just finger food but to let Edward take the bigger trays. As he went to pass her a few another a light switched on in a car in front. She looked over while he muttered on about people being late for his funeral but she paid no attention when she spotted a blonde head bobbing up and down in the steamed up car. A look of disgust crossed her face before she turned away.
Some people have no dignity She thought before pulling out her phone for an update on the birthday boy's whereabouts. She found a text ten minutes previous saying they were just turning in. Putting two and two together Bella's eyes widened 'Oh shit.' She cursed eyes snapping back to the car; the licence plate was in fact Rosalie's.
Edward straightened immediately when Bella cursed 'What's wrong?' he scanned the area before finding the same car and gasped in horror 'Is that my sister?'
'Yeah.' Bella squeaked 'Emmett's looking!'
'Duck!' Edward grabbed her shoulders and pulled her behind the car out of site.
'Babe?' Emmett whispered breathlessly staring out the windscreen.
'Emmett...' Rosalie warned giving him a cold stare as she zipped up his fly.
'No it's not that there's someone watching us.' He mumbled unbuckling his seatbelt. Rosalie froze next to him half way through sorting out her messy blonde hair.
'Fuck!' she cursed wiping the window a little to see where the pervert was. She spotted a slight shadow behind the car opposite them. She crackled her knuckles and stepped out of the car; she had, in high school, been one of the most feared girls due to standing tall above on top of her angelic beauty. Emmett watched her for a moment before doing the same; the pair looked terrifying in the slight light.
'Fuck.' Edward cursed hearing the couple walk towards them but he didn't move.
'This is going to be awkward.' Bella sighed as Rosalie and Emmett stepped into view.
'Hey yo-.' She stopped mid growl spotting her brother and sister of sorts.
'Hi.' Bella waved nervously up at them. Emmett put his hands over his face as the siblings looked away embarrassed.
'What did you see?' He groaned keeping his hands in place to block out their faces. This was more embarrassing the day Edward had caught him jacking off in the flat they once shared.
'Just the ending.' Edward said lowly looking sick. Rosalie had turned a deep red and looked everywhere but at the other three.
'Fuck.' Emmett shook his head now wanting to go home 'Ok Rose just drop me home an-'
'No!' Bella said using the car to help her up 'Esme will go mental she'd prepared a feast, let's just go upstairs like adults.'
'And pretend we don't know the others exist.' Rosalie muttered under her breath.
'Sounds good to me.' Edward said getting up, taking Bella's hand and heading towards the apartment.
'Their coming up!' Esme yelled tucking behind the bar with her husband. Everyone rushed to get into their places and switching the lights off to in wait for the birthday boy. Luckily they had all hidden just before the door flew open. Emmett walked in closely followed by Rosalie, Bella and Edward all looking glum and embarrassed.
'Ok let's get this shit over with.' Rosalie muttered under her breath. There was an all round gasp but Edward flicked on the light.
'Surprise.' He muttered and a sea of faces looked back but within a second all jumped up yelling happy birthday to Emmett.
