So, very sorry for being away for so long. Writer's block is just a big bitch that needs to go die somewhere. I want to give a big shout out to simpsonsrocks for their messages and just for being a fan of this story in general. Thank you everyone that has stuck with this from the beginning & don't forget to review.
"All I'm saying is that you two are soul mates and that enough time has been wasted. Why wait God knows how many years?" Alice asked, nonchalantly as she peered down at the gems in a glass case. Rosalie turned to Esme and Bella for help, but they both were turned around admiring some rings another case.
Rosalie's eyes narrowed when she realized that they were looking at engagement rings. They were all in on it.
Rosalie should have known that this was going to happen. She foolishly let herself thought that she would be safe since the twins and Nessie would be at the mall with them, but Alice had effectively split the group up. Rosalie let out an exasperated sigh when she realized that Nessie and Kate just might be in on this too.
"We will wait for how ever long we please, Alice. We're in no rush and have plenty of time." Rosalie replied, keeping her eyes off of the sparkling diamond rings in the cases to her left.
Alice looked up at her with a pout and a determined look in her eyes. "That is true, but we both know that you two would love nothing more than to be Mrs. and Mrs., so cut the shit and pick out a damn ring. We both know that Kate and Nessie have probably already gotten Emma to do the same."
Rosalie let out a snort and shook in her head. "You just wanna plan a wedding and we both know that Emma has a lot of willpower. Why aren't you doing this to Kate and Emmett?"
Alice walked over to where Esme was pointing out a rather large diamond ring. "I'm not giving them the same treatment because they pretty much have already planned their wedding and you and Emma are a lot more stubborn and need a kick in the ass to do this before God knows how many years have gone by." Alice said, giving Rosalie a pointed look.
Rosalie let out a huff of air and gave Bella a slight glare as the brunette came up to her side. "I know that you would like to wait, but let's be honest here Rose. This will happen, it's inevitable so why bother delaying it." She said, in a soft voice. Bella placed a hand on Rose's shoulder before continuing, "Think about Sue. I'm pretty sure that she would love to see her first grandchild get married before she dies or is forced to use a walker."
Alice nodded her head in agreement, "Think about Leah too. This might actually get my wife to stop glaring at you every time we catch you and Emma in heated make out session."
Rosalie huffed out in annoyance and ran a hand through her golden hair. She hated that they were using two of the most effective forms of persuasion known to humankind, guilt trip and a protective parent.
Sue genuinely liked Rosalie and loved having her over and being around her. She treated Rose as if she was her daughter and always made her feel welcomed and accepted. Rosalie really wanted to see her at their wedding just as much as Emma wanted it. The thought of her warm, caring brown eyes and gentle smile not being there made the blonde vampire hurt.
Then there was Leah. Leah was different from her mother. She never made Rose feel too unwelcome or unaccepted. She just made the blonde feel…on edge.
A delicate truce had been struck between the two and Rose didn't want to do anything to upset it. Which meant zero jokes about anything remotely sexual around the wolf and absolutely no physical contact with Emma. Not even a hand on her shoulder.
"Guys, you all make good points, but I'm not going to be the one to propose." Rosalie said, making sure all three women were focused on her and not the jewels in the cases around them. Alice raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on her cocked out hip.
"Just because Emma is the 'guy' in your relationship it doesn't mean that you can't sweep her off her feet and propose." Alice said in exasperation.
Rosalie cocked her head to the side and gave her a questioning look. "I'm well aware of that, Alice. Neither one of us are the 'guy' in our relationship, we are both girls. True she is more masculine than me, but she is still a girl." She looked at three women, making sure she still had their full attention before continuing, "I don't want to propose because I don't want to make her feel rushed. I want her to be absolutely positive that she wants to marry me and me proposing will make her feel rushed."
Esme gave her a gentle smile and nodded her head in agreement. "Rose makes an excellent point and I completely agree with her. We should all respect her decision and stop trying to talk her about anything dealing with the words marriage or wedding." Esme said, fixing Alice with a pointed look. After a few minutes of Esme, Bella, and Rose looking at Alice pointedly the tiny vampire finally nodded in agreement.
As Rosalie led them out of the jewelry store to search for the rest of their group Alice said brightly, "The girls might have had more luck with Em than we did."
Alice just gave a knowing smirk to Rosalie as she skipped past her and out of the store.
"Will one of you fucking explain to me why in the hell we're in here?" Emma hissed to the two girls browsing through the rings in various glass cases. Kate looked up at her sister with a grin on her face, opening the line of communication that only they shared. She looked back down at a row of diamond rings when she heard her sister growl.
"I can't believe she roped you two into this." Emma muttered under her breath as she stalked over to Nessie's side. Nessie let out a little giggle and shared an amused grin with Kate. "You should have known that this was going to be happening sooner or later." She said.
Emma nodded glumly in response as she looked around the store. If what her twin was told her was true, which it was since impossible for them to lie to each other, then Alice had dragged Rose into the other jewelry store the mall had. "Why does everyone feel the need to butt into our relationship?" She muttered under her breath.
"Because our family is nosey and cares a lot." Kate said, causing her twin to jump. She really hadn't expected an answer. "I know, but still." Emma replied.
Kate gave her a sympathetic look and a small smile. "Ems, we both know that you've been thinking about this for a while. You've been thinking about it since you talked to Rose about having a family months ago. Mama doesn't know, so that's not why this trip was planned." Kate said, seeing her twin about to interrupt. "You're ready, Rosalie's probably just as, if not more ready. Plus enough time has been wasted. Don't let anymore slip through your fingers." She finished, before going to Nessie at the other side of the store.
Kate looked at the dozen of diamonds in the cases in front of her, not really seeing them. Time wasn't really a concern of hers or Rose's, they had forever. But she knew that a few important people in her life didn't. Her grandmother, Charlie, and the La Push council didn't.
That being said they really did have a few years, but did she really want to wait. The knee jerk response was yes. Yes because they had only been together for a few months and there wasn't really a lot that they knew about each other.
But the real answer, the answer that most people would think is crazy, is that she really didn't want to wait. Screw only being together for a few months, she didn't need any more amount of time to tell her that they were forever. Since they had forever they could and would discover new things about each other.
So what was holding her back really. Before Emma had a chance to come up with an answer for that question she heard Nessie let out a breathtaking gasp. Emma came up to Nessie's side and looked down at the diamond ring that had taken her cousin's breath away.
"I should really kick both your asses." Emma said, from her seat in the food court. They were eating lunch at a table while they waited for the other half of their group. Nessie rolled her eyes and swallowed the bite of chicken sandwich she had in her mouth, "Oh shut the hell up, you love us to death." Kate nodded her head in agreement, swallowing the last of her drink.
Emma shook her head with a wry grin on her face as she wiped her hands off with her napkin. "You're just mad that you didn't see this coming." Kate said, grabbing her and her sister's trash before heading to the trash can. Emma shot her a half hearted glare. She was a little mad that she didn't see that coming.
She looked down at the big bag next to her feet and let a small, happy smile spread across her face. It slowly slipped off when a familiar scent filled her nostrils. She looked up at Nessie to warn her, but stopped when she saw a surprised look on her cousin's face.
"Well, fancy seeing you around here." A familiar female voice chuckled humorlessly behind her. Emma seriously considered just bolting, before turning to face a tall, tan teenaged girl with long dark brown hair.
"Hey, Samantha. How have you been?" She asked politely, silently praying that the girl would leave before Rose turned up. That would only end up with them all in handcuffs and being carted off to prison.
The girl cocked her head to the side and quirked her lips. "Baby, why are we getting all formal, using full names. You know you can call me Sam. It was always easier for you to moan than Samantha was." The girl said simply, sliding into the seat next to Emma that Kate had vacated.
Nessie's eyebrow shot up at that and fixed the girl with a 'Who in the hell do you think you are look!?' She looked around for Kate, knowing that she and Emma were going to need some backup.
Emma sighed and brushed the hand that been placed on her thigh off. "Samantha, we ended a long time ago. You need to accept that and move on. I have." Emma sighed again when she had to brush the wandering hand off of her chest.
Samantha gave her a pout. "I heard about Barbie moving back, but that shouldn't hold you back. Don't you remember all the great times we had in the bedroom? All the different positions?" She whispered sensuously in Emma's ear, she was just about to let her tongue slide around the shell of her ear when Emma jumped out of her seat.
Emma fixed her with a firm look. Before Rosalie came back what Samantha had said would have started a fire in her that would have demanded to be quenched immediately. Now it just pissed her off. "Her name is Rosalie and she is twice the lover that you'll ever be." She spat out, venom lacing her voice.
"Damn right I am" Rosalie said, behind her. All three teens looked at the blonde to see her face set in a hard sneer and her hands clenched at her sides. Alice, Bella, and Kate were just behind her with matching smirks on their faces. Esme was watching Rosalie for any signs that she might snap.
Rosalie stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Emma's waist and pulled her in for a searing kiss. After a few moments she pulled away and looked down at Samantha. "Listen I don't know you and I really don't fucking care who you are, but you will respect Emma and our relationship. If you ever try to fuck my girl again I will beat you until every single bone in your nauseating body is broken." She said, her voice hard and eyes like steel.
Samantha looked taken back at first but then stood up and tried to give off an air of not being intimidated, but everyone could smell the fear that was oozing off of her. "She will love me. You can mark my words." She said, in a quiet yet determined voice before fleeing.
Rosalie turned back Emma, her eyes still ablaze and body still trembling. "Who the fuck was that bitch? And why in the hell was she touching all over you?" She asked, between tightly clenched teeth.
Oh snap, Rose was ready to throw down! This was kinda fun for me to write. One of my readers pointed out that I got the wrong Avenged Sevenfold song. The song that this title came from is actually Victim. Please review and if anyone has a tumblr you're welcome to follow me, my name on there is the same as on here.
