"Jesus Christ, Bell!"
"Emmett?"
He let's me go. I throw myself against the brick wall, prepared to fight more if I had to.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Tears run down my face and my heart races. I pick my purse up off the ground and hurl it at him over and over. "You scared the shit out of me! Where's your jeep? I didn't even see it!"
I'm still crying and he attempts to pull me into his arms, but I push him away.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know you would react like this!" He keeps trying to coddle me and I finally collapse into him.
With the phone call from Jacob, I was seriously freaked out beyond repair. I was overreacting and I knew it. Jacob was a thousand miles away. Emmett was here, he would never let anything happen to me.
"How do you expect someone to react when they're in a dark alley way and someone comes up behind them and grabs them?" I sniffed, my heart slowing.
"I started talking, I thought you would recognize my voice. Who else do you know that would say 'miss me?'"
Well, I could think of someone. But he didn't need to know all about that. Yet.
"I'm sorry. I overreacted." I hug him tightly.
"I'm sorry I scared you," he pulls back and combs the hair out of my face with his hand.
I wipe my nose and start to dig out my keys. Whether there was someone here or not, the back door was always locked."Okay, enough of this sappy shit. We're gonna be late clocking in."
There are only two people on every shift. When we walk through the back door, they're standing there with their belongings and bolt out the door. Guess they didn't here all the commotion outside.
"So, where's your jeep anyway?" I ask.
My stuff is under the counter and I've already gone to the bathroom to recompose myself. The store's dead, as usual, so I plant myself behind the meat counter with Emmett.
"I took it to the shop after work yesterday. It was wobbling real bad. I could barely drive the thing." He goes about whacking his meat.
"What do you think is wrong with it?" I didn't give a crap. I just wanted to hear his voice.
"It was in a bad wreck a couple years back. It hasn't been the same since. I just don't have the heart to give it up."
"How'd you get here?"
"You're curious, tonight."
"Just answer the question."
"I took a bus."
"Why not a cab?"
"Bella."
"What?"
He stand in front of me, eyebrow raised. In that moment, a spirit possesses me. Not really, but if anyone asks that's what happened.
I throw myself at Emmett, slamming my lips to his. He lets out a surprise moan and wraps his arms around me. He picks me up so I can wrap my legs around his waist. I slide my tongue in his mouth. We're both a moaning mess when the door bell dings.
He drops me, but catches me before I can topple over. He laughs quietly when I glare and shove him away. Then I laugh because I just think it's funny.
It's a sketchy as fuck middle-aged man that comes in. He has a black beanie on and a black leather jacket. He just wants a pack of smokes and he's looking around to see where the cashier is.
Wait, that's me.
I quickly leave the meat counter and act like I'm unpacking boxes. I peak my head around the corner so he'll see me and I make it look like I've just seen him for the first time.
"Sorry about that." I say, wiping my hands on my apron, which is personalized with my name and Save-A-Lot's logo.
He grunts and points to a big pack of Marlboro's.
"Here you go." He hands me a few buck and I give him his change.
"Thank you for shopping at -"
"Whatever." Then he leaves.
I look back at Emmett, who is looking at me. He winks and giggle before blowing him a kiss. He leaps, catching it dramatically before shoving it in his pocket.
"You want to come over after work?" he asks.
"Sure thing, hot stuff." I wink.
"I love it when you talk dirty."
I'm so getting lucky. Bow-chicka-wow-wow.
So, this chapter will continue into the next one, if you catch my drift. If you don't...they're gonna have sex. Yeah, I'll warn you at the beginning of next chapter.
My best friend has a jeep like Emmett's. Her's was my inspiration for his. This is for you, Jayde! :-*
Okay, thanks for reading. Love you guys. Sorry it was so late! REVIEW! -Ann
