Hello lovelies, Happy New Year! May all your hopes and dreams come true. Mwah.
Now onto business. I've been feeling a tad bit off lately and it totally messed with my inspiration, but for the past couple days I've been talking to a good friend, who just makes all the problems disappear and it all came crashing back.
I don't own these characters, I'm merely using them to bring to life a story in my head. The usual warnings, I'm a big girl and sometimes I like to use big girl words or talk about big girl situations...i.e. Sex, cursing et al. So if this offends you (and I don't think it does after getting this far) kindly hit the x. No hard feelings. Yeah that said...
Chapter 47
EmPOV
The next two months flew by, and even though after Bella's last doctor's visit and the doctor encouraging sexual activity, we decided, well I decided to take things slow. I didn't mind the pace that we were going at. Not at all, especially for moments like the one I was currently having.
Bella was sitting across my lap, her face buried in my neck, her fingers lightly running through my curls, and every few seconds I would feel her lips against my neck.
"Aren't we supposed to be watching the movie?" I asked playfully tweaking her nose.
"Seen it already," she said her voice partially muffled.
"I haven't and you're distracting me," I said shifting my hips under her butt, causing her breath to catch sharply.
"Am I?" she said her warm breath tickling my ear.
I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. I needed to get myself under control, I couldn't be acting like a school boy who was experiencing making out for the first time. That would be fucking embarrassing.
"Minx," I whispered turning my head to capture her lips in mine. I melted into the kiss that wasn't rush or hurried. We took our time, tasting, feeling, taking in each other's essence. Our tongues moved languorously, just reveling in the emotions coursing through us.
How long did we stay in that position, our lips locked in bliss, before we came up for air? Beats the crap outta me, but when we finally broke apart, her brown eyes fluttered open and the lust I saw there knocked the wind out of me.
"I think I'm going to take a shower and get to bed," she said moving off of me. Immediately I felt a sense of loss associated with the closeness of her being snatched away from me.
I nodded, not trusting myself to say anything. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth I would be begging her to let me make love to her.
Me! Begging!
Somewhere out there, Hell was freezing over.
I watched as she walked out the room before burying my face in my hand and groaned loudly. I don't know how much longer I would be able to resist her. I sat there staring into space, my thoughts swirling and undecipherable. Then they started to focus and I began thinking that after all this time, Bella and I had never been out on a date.
Well that simply wouldn't do.
But what the hell would I do?
I was completely clueless.
I wasn't used to going on dates. Hook-ups, yes, but a real date? Never.
So I did the best thing when it came to situations like this.
I called James.

"That is absolute bullshit!" I shouted.
I was beyond pissed.
Al and I were arguing...again.
It seemed that was all we had been doing the last few days, and honestly I don't know what we were arguing about most of the time.
This time, however, I knew.
And I thought it was fucking bullshit.
"You don't see how he looks at you!" Al shouted back.
"You don't see how he looks at me because you're never around when he is!" I spat.
Yup, you guessed it.
We were arguing about Edward.
Apparently, Al was jealous of my new friendship with Edward.
I really didn't get what his issue was. It's not like he even made an effort to be introduced to the man. Hell, he always found an excuse not to meet any of my friends. What the fuck was that?
"I've heard about him," he back pedaled. "He's quite the lothario."
Did he just say that?
"How old are you again?" I asked incredulously.
"What does that have to do with anything?" he snapped.
I shook my head, "Never mind. This is not up for discussion anyway."
"Are we not dating?" he asked. "Am I not supposed to be worried that some other douche bag is worming his way into your life?"
I gritted my teeth and took a supposedly calming breath before replying to him, "We are dating not fucking married and you're going to judge a man based on what people say about him?"
Yes, I know. That was fucking hypocritical of me, since I had been guilty of doing the same thing. But, hey, I wasn't the one on trial here.
Al looked as if he were going to say something but his mouth snapped shut and his eyes flashed dangerously as he stalked towards me.
Suddenly I was actually afraid, and then he crashed his lips against mine, tugging my hair back forcefully. I stood there shocked into submission for the better part of a minute before I realized what happened.
Now this was definitely a surprise. I never expected Al to have a wild side. He was always the one waiting for me to initiate anything intimate between us. I felt my self start to get lost in the kiss, returning his fervor with my own.
And the the weirdest fucking thing happened.
Instead of Al kissing me and groping my body, it was Edward Masen.
I jumped back, rushing away from Al, panting heavily.
He was behind me in a New York minute, "What's wrong?" he asked, his usually light voice, husky with emotion.
Think brain! I thought to myself. Think goddammit.
"Um..." I was drawing a blank.
I couldn't very well tell him that while he was kissing me, I was thinking about the very man I was protesting so vehemently about mere minutes ago.
Suddenly the phone rang, jarring me from my stupor and I rushed to answer it.
Saved by the freaking bell. Literally.
It was Emmett.
I had never been so glad to hear his voice in my life.
"Em!" I said with a bit too much zeal.
On the other line Emmett laughed, I cut him off.
"I'm so glad to hear you," I said loudly, my eyes nervously cutting over to Al. He was just standing there, watching me.
Fuck.
I turned my attention back to Emmett, I had already missed half of what he had said. I did, however, catch something about Bella and doing something special for her.
"You never took her on a date?" I asked, not really knowing why I was surprised at this.
"You need my help? No...not busy," I gulped as Al's glared hardened.
"This isn't finished," he growled as he brushed past me and headed out the door.
Emmett asked if he had interrupted something.
I assured him that every thing was fine and then directed the conversation at hand.
"So you need my help planning a date for Bella..."

"Thank you for choosing Premium Cuts for your grooming pleasure," the young girl behind the desk, said dryly. "How can I help you today?"
I smiled at her, you know the kind of smile that said, 'You are merely the help', and said, "I want to look like this."
She blinked slowly, and popped her gum before looking down at the picture. She looked at it briefly and then back at me, "Follow me."
Almost an hour later I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled devilishly; it was perfect!
I stood up to examine my reflection closer, I stepped back and ran my hand over my rounded stomach.
"I didn't think much of you before," I said to the girl as our eyes met in the mirror. "But what you've done here is beyond amazing."
"Yeah," she said ducking her head, a blush coming over her face.
I laughed to myself. So easily won over. Poor little bitch.
I paid her and left the salon, a smile on my face as the wind blew my chocolate curls in the breeze.
As they say in books, 'The plot thickens.'
A/N: There we go. Does anyone want to take a guess at what the ? POV has up her sleeve? And what about Jamie thinking about Eddie while his 'boyfriend' is kissing him? And what about our favorite 'almost' couple? Tell me what you think! Love you guys. Until next time...MWAHHHHH!
