Right Here All Along
Chapter 6
Our wedding was all planned and I'd gotten the start date of my film.
We decided to do a 4th of July wedding and BBQ, it was much more US than a fancy wedding.
Emmett was going to wear a pair of blue jeans and a white button down shirt.
I had found a nice simple white sundress that came to the knees.
Filming was going to start the week after our wedding in Canada, so we were leaving early to have some actual honeymoon time and Emmett would stay with me the entire summer, until he had to return to school.
We'd also decided we wanted to start a family, so I threw my pills away a month before the wedding. Sooner rather than later.
We had also started talking about expanding his house and fixing the cabin up for my office, that way I would have my own space for writing, and our house would be for everything else. We were taking two of the bedrooms upstairs and making them into one giant master suite and the other one into a nursery. Then downstairs we were basically gutting, making it all open floor plan and adding a guest room and bath as well and of course Esme was taking care of everything and we were going to stay in the cabin while the construction was going on, that way they could come and go as they please and hopefully it'll all be finished by the time Emmett gets back and goes back to work.
"Babe, are you sure this is what you want?" Emmett asked for the millionth time.
"Yes, I want simple. I want you." I told him standing on my tippy toes to kiss him.
"OK, I just want what you want. I care about your happiness." He said as he picked me up and carried me into the bedroom.
"Don't forget, tonight is dinner at my parents." Emmett said as he kissed me goodbye for his morning run.
"I know. Esme asked me to bring dessert, so I'm making something special." I smiled.
"Oh really? What is it?" he asked kissing down my neck.
"Nope, you'll just have to wait. But you might need to run a few extra miles to eat some." I turned and captured his lips for a sensual kiss and shooed him away.
Esme was making Italian tonight and I was going to make tiramisu, I knew it was one of Emmett's favorites because he ordered it everywhere we went.
I'd arranged it with Esme to come over that morning and make it so Emmett wouldn't know.
"Esme, I'm here." I called out.
"She's not here." His voice wrapped around me like a noose.
"Oh, um she told me to come by so I could make dessert for tonight." I stumbled over my words.
"She had to run and pick up some samples or something for a project she's immersed in." he rolled his eyes.
I'm guessing he doesn't know about our plans, makes me happy and nervous.
"So, what are you making? I remember you were a good cook." He smirked.
It was my turn to roll my eyes and I walked into the kitchen, with him following me.
"What are you doing here anyway?" I stopped and faced him.
"Irina and I had a fight. I'm staying here for a few days." He shrugged his shoulders.
"So still running away from your problems." I turned and headed to the pantry to get my ingredients.
"I don't recall running from you." He stated.
"Oh, that's right! You embarrassed me in front of the entire school, so much better." I turned towards the counter and pulled my hair up before washing my hands.
He grabs my hand and stares at it. "What the fuck is this?" he snapped and squeezed my wrist.
"It's a ring. Something you give to someone when you ask them to marry you." I stated sarcastically.
"I know what the fuck it is, how did Emmett get it?" he snapped.
"I'm guessing from your parents." I tried to pull my wrist away.
"That was our grandmother's ring! The first to get engaged was to get it!" he growled.
"I'm guessing your parents weren't happy with your choice." I shrugged and managed to get my wrist free.
"Bella! I'm back…" Esme stopped when she saw the standoff in the kitchen.
"You were supposed to be gone." Esme snapped.
"My surgery was cancelled, don't have to be in until noon." He smiled.
"Are you OK Bella?" Esme checked.
"Yeah, we were just having a disagreement." I shrugged.
"Did he bug you about the ring?" she looked to Edward who just shrugged.
"Edward, you know how we feel about Irina. She is nothing but a high class whore!" Esme stated and Edward's eyes flared.
"But your precious Bella is Ms. Goody Too Shoes!" he snapped.
"Compared to Irina, yes!" Esme raised her voice.
"I don't want to cause any problems." I told Esme.
"Bella, you're not causing any problems. Edward is upset because he didn't get the ring for Irina, I'm sorry I didn't warn you." Esme shook her head.
"Esme, I'm fine. Edward just needs to grow up." I turned around and started putting everything together.
"Babe, this is by far the best tiramisu I've ever tasted." Emmett groaned.
"This is delicious Bella." Carlisle announced.
"Thank you both so much." I smiled and squeezed Emmett's hand.
Dinner was nice, it was Emmett, his parents and I, Edward was working late.
We talked about the wedding and if we were nervous yet and while the guys were cleaning the kitchen Esme and I were looking at all the samples of paints and textiles for the house.
It was a nice relaxing evening, compared to how the day had started.
