We had a movie night tonight. In hindsight watching Jurassic Park with Emmett in attendance was a grave mistake. He is now insisting that he and Rosalie are going there for their next honeymoon. He says he wants to go 'big game hunting'. The rest of us have tried and tried to explain to him all the myriad reasons this is impossible, but it's Emmett, so none of them worked. Rosalie can clear this one up. I've given it all I have and he will not be told.
On the plus side I got to snuggle next to Bella and hold her hand while we watched the film and she had a fit of giggles over Emmett's silliness which was just the most adorable thing I have ever witnessed.
After the movie Emmett had to work off some steam, so we gathered round the piano and sang the Jurassic Park theme in a rousing chorus, while he donned some of Alice's shortest shorts and stalked around Esme's pot plants, declaring Rosalie was a 'clever girl' and chased her upstairs. She was shrieking and giggling, which Bella had never seen before; she looked quite surprised to see Rosalie being so lighthearted and playful.
Carlisle is sulking because Esme's sex moratorium is still in effect. He keeps slamming doors, lying on the floor sighing and looking longingly at Esme, who has chosen to wear increasingly provocative outfits each day, so as to compound his suffering.
Speaking of provocative, Bella wore her khaki skirt tonight and heavens to Betsy! Jasper popped a sympathy boner as soon as I laid eyes on her, so he and Alice had to excuse themselves and go 'for a run'. I opted for my now near permanent accessory, a cushion over the groin. We dimmed the lights and Bella snuck her little hand into mine! It was like I had been whisked away to some kind of erotic land from another time!
I'm not sure how long this will go on for, but it is working, because not one hymn was sung while we got cozy watching the film and holding hands. Esme is a wonderful mother. She is too good for all of us.
When Bella was falling asleep in my arms an hour or two ago, I whispered to her that she's my clever girl. She asked why and I explained "Well you're the one that caught a vampire, after all." She snorted and blushed, looking all pink and flustered, then hid her face and snuggled into me. Just before she drifted off she yawned, then mumbled that I was a charming dingus. I'll take it!
