Chapter 27:
Day 20
Emmett and Rian pulled up to the Cullen house, Emmett gave Rian's hand a squeeze before he climbed out of the car and walked around to help the girl out of the car. Alice came bounding out of the house, while Rian was walking up the stairs. "How are you feeling?" She asked Rian sweetly.
"I'm okay." Rian answered. Alice handed the redhead another cup of blood before the tree of them headed inside the house.
Esme greeted Rian once they made it inside, with a gentle hug. "Welcome to the family." It hadn't accord to Rian until that moment that she would be joining their family, but the way Esme said it, it sounded as if she was already a part of the family.
Rian's sadness over her father's abandonment took a back seat while Esme's comforting warmth took the driver's seat. Rian couldn't help but smile as Esme made her feel as if nothing could ever go wrong again.
"What would you like to do on your first night here?" Alice had to ask, seeing as she could no longer see what Rian's reaction would be.
"Dance." Rian's answer was simple and she couldn't help but smile at the thought of her usual go to stress reliever.
"Come on." Emmett said, half laughing. "You can put your stuff in the room." The man grabbed her hand and led her upstairs. He walked down a long hallway with three doors on either side. He opened the last one on the right. His room was gigantic. It had enough space to have a large desk, three bookcases, a large comfortable looking chair, the bed from the 'office' and the corresponding nightstands on both sides were put into the room, a unbelievably large walk in closet and stairs leading up to a small loft with two dark wood baby beds, a dresser, and changing table and the room still had room to spare. It was almost like its own house. There was a closed door just underneath the loft, which Rian assumed was a bathroom. The walls were a light cream color and all the wood furniture 'downstairs' was the same color as the baby beds up stairs. The bed they had shared in the 'office' so long ago, was placed against the wall of glass.
"This is your room? Where's the kitchen?" Rian joked about the size, to which Emmett released a guttural laugh.
"Alice stocked the clothes with a few outfits she thought you might like." Emmett said as he walked into the clothes. "She tried to grab somethings from your house too last night. She got a couple of your nightgowns, the one's you were most, and your shoes. We didn't want to be too obvious about it though." Rian was looking through the clothes and did notice some that were hers. In the closet there were two sets of dressers on opposite sides of the wall. He had opened the one on the right side while talking about her nightgowns, so she assumed the one on the left side was his. Rian placed her backpack on the floor by the dresser that was 'hers'. Then she noticed a full length mirror on the wall opposite of the doors. If this wasn't exactly like her dream closet, nothing was. In fact if anything in his room wasn't like her dream … anything, nothing was.
Emmett once again led her out of the closet and started towards the closed door underneath the loft. Rian opened the door to find that it was indeed the bathroom. It had a large counter with his and her sinks and a large mirror in front of it. There was a separate shower and an oversized tub that seemed to have jets in it. "This is the bathroom, obviously." Emmett said, and when Rian turned to look at him, he was leaning against to doorframe with a very pleased smile on his face as if he was very proud of that lame joke he just told. Rian laughed anyway at his totally lame joke.
Rian took a sip of the cup she had almost forgotten about while they walked out of the rather unimpressive bathroom when compared to the rest of Emmett's room. "Alice wants to take you shopping in the next day or two." Emmett informed her as she began searching through his rather extensive library of books. She hadn't expected him to own that many books. He owned everything from The Chronicles of Narnia and the Harry Potter books to the Wizard of Oz books to The Great Gatsby and How to Kill a Mockingbird. And many, many more she had never heard of before.
Rian suddenly turned around to Emmett, who was standing very close to her. She almost lost her breath realizing how close they were and from noticing for the first time how tight his shirt stretched over his muscles. She looked into his eyes, his dark eyes that clearly shown how much lust he was feeling at the moment, enough to match her own.
For the second time in their relationship, Rian woke up in a bed with Emmett sprawled out beside her. Rian smiled at him as she stretched and looked about the room. The covers were thrown about the room as were the pillows. Rian's hair was knotted in a giant mess on top of her head.
Rian moaned as her muscles gave her an achy protest in response to her stretching. "You know, I don't think I'll get used to you staring at me while I sleep."
"You won't have to after you change, you won't need to sleep either."
Rian pulled herself out of bed, and shamelessly walked across the bedroom towards the cloest. She grabbed an outfit while she shouted (obviously while knowing she didn't need to raise her voice for his vampire hearing), "I'm dying to try out the tub you have in the bathroom."
In a flash, she was whisked out of the closet and into the bathroom. Emmett quickly turned the water on for the tub before he ran off once again to grab a towel. He returned with two towels. Rian adjusted the temperature of the water before she stepped into the bath tub to relax, quickly followed by Emmett.
Rian looked at herself in the mirror of the bathroom. She had picked out a tight knee length black dress and a pair of black heels (really the only heels in the closet), she had felt like dressing up that day to dance. She was sure that everyone else wouldn't mind dressing up for a night of 'dancing' at home.
Emmett had a dark blue button down shirt on with a pin stripe vest and slacks over it. Even without his vampire speed, Emmett would have been ready long before Rian was. Emmett stood in the door of the bathroom watching Rian curl her hair and apply a tiny bit of makeup before she finally declared herself 'dancing ready'. Rian didn't dress up often for things, she wore dresses sure, but not like this. Emmett hadn't seen her dress up before, and she had liked the look on his face when she finally turned around to show him her final product. For a moment she was afraid he would distract her again with the bed, how dark his eyes were. But he just smiled at her and told her how beautiful she looked before he took her hand and lead her down the stairs.
The living room furniture had been moved to some part of the house or something because it was no longer there. Instead there was a large open space with a stereo system in the corner and a piano in the other. Purple strings of lights were decorating the ceiling and the lights were deemed. The Cullen's had put more thought into this than she expected them too and she found herself almost crying at the scene in front of her. "Since you won't get a prom experience for a few years, we thought we'd have one now for you." Emmett whispered to her before he whisked her around the dance floor.
Soon Alice and Jasper, as well as Bella and Edward, joined the dancing couple. While Rian mostly danced with Emmett, she saved a few dances for Alice. Laughter and Energy kept the group dancing well into the night until Rian was almost passing out from exhaustion.
