"What?"
"So, you're just going to kiss me and leave it like that?"
"Yeah."
"Well, what if I don't want to leave it at that?" Emmett asked
"Then it sucks for you, doesn't it?"
"Go out with me."
"Is that a request or a command?"
Emmett chuckles, "Will you go out with me?"
"That's better, and no."
"Why not," Emmett asked.
"Because I don't want to."
Emmett pushes off the door and walks over towards Astrid. He puts his hands on her hips and pulls her in close.
"Yes, you do, otherwise you wouldn't have kissed me."
"You kissed me first."
"You kissed me back."
"That doesn't mean anything," Astrid said.
"Oh, I think it does, you like me," Emmett said with a smirk.
"No, I find you annoying."
"But you're still attracted to me."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are," Emmett said as he started lowering his head to kiss her.
Astrid couldn't help but stare at him as his lips came closer to her own. She suddenly leaned up on her tiptoes and closed the gap, kissing him. Emmett wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped her around his neck. He lifted her off the floor and she wrapped her legs around his waist. The started making out in the middle of the kitchen, Astrid pulled away from Emmett to catch her breath.
Emmett pressed his forehead to Astrid's, "Will you go out with me now?"
"No."
"Just one date and I'll never ask you again," Emmett said as he leaned in and pecked Astrid on the lips.
"Fine, one date. Now if you don't mind I'd like to go take a shower."
"Okay, let me have your number and I'll call you with the details later."
"Let go of me and I will."
Emmett finally lets go of Astrid, he hands her his phone and she programs her number into his phone. Emmett takes the phone back and smiles.
"I'll call you tonight," Emmett tells her and leaves the house.
Astrid rolls her eyes, "I can't believe I agreed to a date."
She sighs and goes up to her room to take a shower. When she was finished and dressed, Astrid came back downstairs to start dinner. By that time Bella was home.
"So, how was your field trip," Astrid asked.
"I was alright, I got asked out to the prom."
Astrid laughed, "I'm assuming you said no."
"Yes and if anyone asks we're going to Florida that weekend."
"Okay."
"What did you do all day?" Bella asked her baby sister.
"I cleaned up and worked out with Emmett."
"Emmett was here, what did he want?"
"He wanted to know why I like to fight bigger guys than me."
"What did you tell him?"
"That it appealed to something in my blood," Astrid said as she finished putting the meatloaf in the oven.
"Does he know you're adopted?"
"It didn't come up in conversation."
"What else happened," Bella asked.
"Nothing much, we worked out, he asked me out then he went home."
"He asked you out, like on a date?"
"Yeah."
"What did you tell him?"
"Well, after he bugged the shit out of me, I finally agreed."
"Oh."
Astrid looks at her sister, "Did something happen at school?"
"Edward and I talked."
"And?"
"He told me that he thought that it would be better if we were not friends," Bella tells Astrid.
"Good, I think the same thing, that guy is weird. Honestly, Bella, I think you should avoid him. I get a bad vibe off of him."
"Maybe you're right. I think I will stay away from him," Bella tells her sister then goes upstairs to get started on her homework.
An hour later, Charlie comes home and Bella comes back downstairs so that they could have dinner. Once dinner was over, Bella does the dishes while Astrid goes upstairs to start on the homework that Bella was nice enough to pick up for her. When Astrid finishes her homework, she goes to the bathroom and gets ready for bed. Just as she's lying down her phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello, beautiful."
"Hey Emmett, what's up?"
"Well, I was thinking, we could go out this Saturday night."
"Where to?"
"It's a surprise, but I know you're going to love it."
"Let me guess, the movies?"
"No, of course not, something better, but I'm not going to tell you. You're going to have to wait and see."
Astrid sighs, "Alright, it better be good.
"It will be, trust me, you'll love it."
"If you say so, alright it's getting late and we have school tomorrow, so goodnight Emmett."
"Goodnight, Beautiful."
The next day Astrid and Bella went to school, people were still talking about the accident and when Astrid was in class they kept asking her how Bella was doing.
"She's doing good, people, she just got a bump on the head."
It was like that all morning. So by the time lunch rolled around, Astrid was really irritated with pretty much everyone. She went and sat down next to her sister when she heard Eric Yorkie talking about La Push.
"La Push, baby. You in?"
"Should I know what that means?" Bella asks.
"La Push beach, down on the Quileute rez," Astrid tells her sister.
"We're all going after school. Big swell coming in." Mike informs the girls.
"And I don't just surf the internet," Eric says standing up on the chair pretending to surf.
Jessica rolls her eyes, "Eric, you stood up once. On a foam board."
"There's whale watching, too. Come with us, yeah? Angela asks
"La Push, baby," Eric repeats.
"I'll go if you stop saying that, Astrid you want to go?"
"When are you guys going?"
"Tomorrow morning," Angela tells her.
"It depends, what time will you guys be back?"
"Around 5:00"
"Pass, that's cutting it too close. I have some shit to do."
"Are you sure, you can't change your plans," Angela asks
"No, I can't but thanks anyway."
"Good," Jessica mumbles.
"Want to say that to my face, bitch."
Jessica gets all flustered and looks away.
At the Cullen table, Emmett puts his head down and chuckles, "Man I just love that little spitfire."
Everyone at the table looks at him.
"What, I didn't mean I love her, I meant I love her attitude. Damn people I just met her."
Not a single person at that table believed him.
