Am I Not Enough for You

Chapter Eleven: I Taste the Sparks on Your Tongue

Bella Swan.

"Mmmmm," I yawned. Last night was the best night's sleep I've ever gotten, although, I don't remember everything that happened―my mind still a little fuzzy from the alcohol. I looked around to realize I was in the guest room.

Why am I in the guest room?

"Oh," I breathed, when I looked to my right to see Emmett's naked figure sleeping soundly. Our legs were completely tangled, and I was snuggled closely in his side. I tried moving without waking him, but when I moved just a little he stirred slightly, not fully waking up.

"Hmmm?" Emmett said seeming a tad bit more awake. He squeezed me tighter into his side.

"Em, can't breathe," I gasped overdramatically.

"Oh, Bella sorry," he unwrapped his arm from around me. "Are you ok?"

"Yes Em I'm fine. I was just kidding," I giggled. He pulled me in for a kiss. When we came up for air I pushed him away a little.

"Shit!" I looked at the clock. The time was 6:57. I had about an hour to get to work.

"What's the matter, baby?" Emmett asked as I got out of bed and pulled on the babydoll leftover from last night. "Come back to bed."

"I can't I have to get ready for work. It's seven o'clock," I said frustrated. There was something else of mine on the floor and I couldn't think of what it was, and I didn't see anything that belonged to me.

"Oh ok," he started getting out of bed.

"That's ok. You're tired you can stay until you need to go. No one will bother you, I promise," I assured him. "I have to go take a shower."

"Joining you sounds so tempting," he groaned.

"Well, we won't be getting frisky. I can guaran-damn-tee it," I chuckled softly. "Do you usually have coffee or tea in the morning?"

"I'll have what ever you're making, but you have real sugar, right? None of that artificial crap for me."

"Oh no. I hate that shit, Alice and Rose use it but I've got the good stuff," I laughed, edging towards the door. "I really have to shower though."

"Alright go," he said settling back into the messy sheets.

"I'll call you when the coffee is done."

I ran upstairs and into my bathroom. I turned the water on and undressed while it was warming up. I was a little stiff and I couldn't figure out why. I was assuming it was either the incredible sex I've been having or not sleeping in my own bed. Stepping under the water, all of the tension in my muscles melted away. I quickly washed with myself and got out.

I went into my room to change. I pulled on the silk robe I got yesterday and put on some lace undies. My hair was wet, so I gathered it up in a messy bun. I went into my closet to pick out some clothes, but there was already a whole outfit laying on my bed. There was a note attached. No need to thank me. I figured you would have problems getting up today ―Alice ;)

Thank you Alice! She said I didn't have to thank her, but she is a liar. And I know exactly how to do it. A bouquet of chocolate flowers anyone?

I quickly went downstairs and into the kitchen. It seemed Alice had already left, but there was no way she could be up this early. I decided it didn't matter. I put the coffee pot on, making just enough for me and Emmett.

I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. I instantly melted into them and let out a little moan. "Mmmmm, baby," I felt his lips on my neck and tilted my head to the side to give him better access. I started to turn around. The arms loosened around me to allow the movement. I turned all the way around to be met by Edward's panty dropping crooked smile.

"Edward!" I gasped in surprise.

"Hey baby. Did I scare you?" he laughed.

"Yes don't do that. Use the elevator, so I can at least know someone's coming up," I scolded with a mock serious tone. I couldn't help but be disappointed that they weren't Emmett's arms or lips.

"Ok, I promise. What are you doing up so early? I came to surprise you in bed," he pouted.

"Well you surprised me, isn't that enough?" I hugged him tightly. "I have to go to work at eight."

"Well damn are you bringing coffee for the whole place?" he nodded at the coffee pot, which was now overflowing.

"Don't laugh this is your fault," I screamed cleaning up the mess. "I don't have time for this."

"Well there was actually something I wanted to talk to you about," his tone was serious. Uh-oh.

"Yeah? Can you talk while I go get dressed?" I asked going up the stairs to my room.

"That's fine," he followed me. "What did you do last night after I left?"

"Well the girls cornered me and wouldn't let me go to bed until I told them what was going on, and then I went to be just like I said I would be," I answered semi-honestly.

"So, you had no idea they were coming up here?" he continued questioning.

"I knew. They asked me to join them and I said no," I lied. I pulled on my black pencil skirt and pale pink blouse.

"Where's Emmett now?" he kept going.

"I believe he's in the guest room downstairs," I finally gave an honest answer.

"I think I'm going to go talk to him," he excused himself from the room.

I put on the Alice approved accessories and the heels she left for me. I grabbed my hound's tooth coat and black bag (that I picked out myself) and headed down to the kitchen. Halfway down the stairs I heard yelling coming from the guest bedroom.

"Dude, I swear I have no idea what you're talking about," I could hear Emmett defending himself―and in turn, me. "I don't know who's those are."

I crept to the door to see what was going on. Shit! I knew I was forgetting something. My panties from last night were dangling on Edward's index finger. I blushed deeply and thanked god Emmett could lie to Edward.

"You're disgusting," Edward threw the thong at Emmett. He caught them and laughed. Having seen enough, I knocked on the open door.

"Oh, Bella. Hey," Edward said awkwardly.

"Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know that I made coffee if you want any." I knew Edward already saw the coffee, but I didn't want him to think I made it for Emmett.

"Thanks," they both said at the same time. I turned and walked out, with Edward right behind me.

"I think I'm going to skip the coffee," he declined politely. "I've got a class in like twenty minutes. I just wanted to say good morning. I have to have lunch with the family, but I want to take you out tonight," he whispered in my ear.

I nodded. He leaned down a little to capture my lips in a sweet kiss. It slowly built into pretty much a full on make out.

"Jesus, get a room. Fortunately for you, I offer turn down service. The guest room is ready for you," Emmett laughed, coming into the kitchen in only a pair of boxers.

"Put some clothes on Emmett," Edward scolded his older brother.

"Whatever, Edwina. I'll see you at lunch," Emmett dismissed him. "Do you have any breakfast stuff in here?" He opened the fridge.

Edward rolled his eyes and gave me another kiss. "I'll see you tonight beautiful." Then, he left for his 7:45 class.

"Who in the hell takes a class at 7:45?" Emmett laughed.

"Thanks for covering for me," I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"It was not a problem Edward's always on my case anyway. However, I get to keep the incriminating evidence," he winked and gave me a tender kiss on the nose, before going back to the fridge. "Well it's official you have nothing to eat for breakfast."

"Sorry, but I have to go to work. I have to get Seth to make a trip up to the office as it is," I apologized.

"It's cool. I'm going to go take a shower and then I'll probably head there to get some breakfast." He poured some coffee into my 'it's a good day, I'm not in the ER… yet' mug that Jake had gotten for me as a joke. "I'll just see you at noon."

"Why am I seeing you at noon?" I poured some coffee into my travel mug that looked like an actual Starbucks cup.

"The whole family is having lunch, and Esme said something about inviting you. I know Alice is going. I'm surprised Edward didn't mention it," he answered. "By the way, this mug is mildly amusing."

"Shut up. Jake got it as a gag gift," I smacked him as hard as I could. He laughed.

"Oh, ok. I'll see you then." I started towards the elevator. He grabbed me and pulled me back into him and wrapped his arms around me. He was lucky I closed my mug.

"Where do you think you're going," he whispered in my ear.

"Emmett you know I have to go to work," I replied, taking his bait. "Let me go!" I squirmed weakly in his strong arms.

"Not without this," he kissed me hard and sweet at the same time. "On second thought, I'm going to call my dad and let him know that I've kidnapped you today."

"Come on, Emmett seriously, I have to go." I gasped for air from laughing.

"Ok, fine," he pouted, letting me go. "You do look beautiful today. Edward is one lucky bastard."

I sighed. "Bye Em. I'll see you at lunch."

"Yep," he waved. "I'm going to get there early just so I can see you."

I went down the elevator and grabbed a cab. Once inside, I called Seth to let him know I needed donuts. He promised he'd meet me at the entrance. I got out at Cullen Architecture and sure enough my guardian angel was there waiting box of donuts in hand.

"Thank you, Seth. You are a lifesaver. I owe you big time," I thanked him profusely.

"It's not a problem. Honestly, last night was plenty. Me and Leah don't get out much," he laughed handing me the box.

I got upstairs a quickly as possible. Esme was ready to pounce with all the party details. "Oh my goodness Bella, I found the perfect caterer for our party! Emmett just called and told me about this little café/diner he found just down the block from his loft. And he said they were amazing."

"That's fantastic Esme!" I enthused. I laughed to myself, because I was going to suggests Sam's for the party.

"Sweetie, do you have any plans for lunch?" she asked completely forgetting about the party.

"Um no I was just going to go grab a bite somewhere," I answered.

"Good, you can come with us to lunch. Carlisle and I are taking the boys out to catch up; we just don't see enough of them for my liking," she said happily.

"That sounds wonderful," I smiled.

We went to work on the party and got some more things done. The guest list was finished, the band and caterer was booked―I swear the woman was a machine. There wasn't much for me to do but get a dress.

Before I knew it lunchtime was here. I heard the elevator ding. "Mom, where are you?" I heard Emmett's boisterous voice echoing throughout the floor.

"Emmett, honey, inside voice," Esme cooed when she found him. He wrapped her up in a tight hug and she laughed.

"Emmett, this is Carlisle's intern Be―" Esme started when he put her down.

"Bella?" Emmett interrupted with fake surprise. He winked at me when Esme wasn't looking.

"Emmett? Wow. I'm totally slow. I didn't even make the connection with the last names," I laughed at how fake I sounded, but apparently Esme was buying it. Her face was lit with happy astonishment.

"How do you two know each other?" Esme asked cheerfully looking between us. She was clearly happy to play matchmaker right now.

"Bella lives on the floor above ours," Emmett explained to his mother.

"Oh really, how interesting," Esme responded. "So have you two been hanging around each other a lot?"

"Mom, we just moved into the loft like two days ago," he protested.

"That wasn't a 'no'," she smiled. I rolled my eyes. "Emmett, why don't you escort Bella to the white party?"

"Mom, I don't thi―" Emmett started.

"Actually that would be my honor," my favorite unmistakable velvety voice said from behind me.

"Edward!" I screamed and jumped into his arms. I looked at Emmett and immediately chastised myself.

What are you doing? Do you enjoy hurting poor Emmett? You've never been this happy to see Edward. What's going on?

"I'm so sorry," I said looking at Esme. "That was extremely unprofessional of me."

"That's nonsense sweetheart. You're practically family," she smiled warmly. "Is everyone ready for lunch?"

"Yeah, mom. I'm ready, but where's Jas," Edward looked around for his other brother.

"Here I am," Jasper announced. He stepped off the elevator behind Alice. They both looked slightly disheveled and Alice had her normally neatly placed shoulder length pin straight hair in the classic 'I just got laid' bun. "Sorry were late. Traffic was pretty rough."

"Not as rough as Alice, apparently," Emmett said low enough for Esme not to hear. We both snickered quietly, earning glares from the flustered couple.

"Stop it you two," Esme scolded. I straightened up instantly. She heard that? Her stern disposition melted immediately, and she and Emmett started busting up laughing. "That was a good one Em."

Edward showed my favorite crooked smile. His eyes had a small twinkle in them that hadn't been there this morning, when I leaned into him. He put his arm around me, and we waited for Esme and Emmett to calm down from their laughing fit.

"Alright, what's going on here," Carlisle appeared from around the corner.

"Nothing just riling up Jas here," Edward chuckled quietly. He was a lot like Carlisle I realized now. Carlisle laughed quietly, not wanting to cause anymore of a disruption to the employees.

Jas was blushing only slightly as she laughed with the rest of us. Alice, however, wasn't as easygoing about it. "Will you guys cut it out? We are going to miss our reservations," she fumed.

"Ali, baby, calm down. They're just joking. You know we would be doing the same thing if it was Bella and em― uh… I mean not us," Jasper corrected himself quickly. I shot Alice a worried glance.

"What was that Jas," Edward asked cautiously.

"I wouldn't want to embarrass you in front of your parents Eddie," Alice giggled, saving Jasper and myself. And that shut him up rather quickly. Emmett exhaled with relief.

"Alright guys, don't get your panties in a bunch. We'll stop," he laughed. We all made our way to the elevator.

"How are we riding?" Carlisle asked as Emmett stepped in and the doors closed.

"Well, I was hoping to ride with Bella," Edward said. I nodded eagerly in agreement.

"Ok, well then Esme and I will ride together. Jasper do you want to ride with us or separately?" Carlisle turned to Jasper and Alice.

"We'll ride with you guys. Save gas and all," Jasper answered.

"That leaves you, Em. What are you doing?"

"I don't know. I could ride with Edward and Bella…" he trailed off looking at the pleading in Edward's eyes. "Actually, I have a class to get to after lunch. So, I should just drive myself."

"Alright son, what time it your class?" Carlisle said not noticing the look between Edward and Emmett.

"It's at two," Emmett responded simply.

"Well you've got enough time to get back to your car. Why don't you ride with Edward and Bella?" Carlisle pressed.

"I have to go by the apartment and pick up my books," he lied smoothly. I could tell he was lying. I knew his face so well, and it had only been two days.

"Alright, if you insist," Carlisle said defeated.

The lift stopped at the parking garage and we all piled into our respective cars. Edward opened the door for me, like a true gentleman. I couldn't help but swoon like a teenaged girl with a crush on the hot boy in school. Edward started the car and turned on some music.

"Why didn't you tell me you worked for my dad?" Edward started questioning.

"I'm sorry. I'm a total idiot and didn't make the connection at all," I smacked my head with just enough dramatic affect to make it believable.

"No you're not. I'm sorry, I thought you were keeping it from me," he said. "And what was with Alice and Jasper?"

"She started to reference when she caught us in my room," I lied easily.

"Oh, I thought she was starting to say Emmett," he said warily.

"No, she's just very easily distracted and your names are kinda close," I answered.

"I want to take you somewhere tonight," he said looking at me as we stopped for a red light.

"Ok, where do you want to go?" I asked, looking right back into his bright green eyes.

"Are there any good clubs around?" he asked, grasping my hand.

"Do you know where we are?" I laughed. Were there any good clubs in New York City? That's like asking if there was a Starbucks on this God forsaken island.

please review. it means so much to me :)
