Chapter Three: Time to Pretend

Outtake

Edward POV

August 2008

(212): I heard we made out

"Dude, you and Bella were out of control last night," Emmett commented the next morning as we drove across town to pick up something greasy for breakfast.

Bella and I…what?

I had absolutely no idea what he was referring to, seeing as how the last thing I could remember from the night prior was Rosalie stumbling out of the room and back down the stairs to the basement. A fuzzy memory of grabbing a couple of beers out of the refrigerator circled through my head, but that was it.

"Excuse me?" I needed further explanation.

Emmett was too busy singing along, way too loudly, to the Lil Wayne song playing on the radio, so I had to hit him on the arm to get his attention. "Em?"

"Huh?" He turned to me with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Eyes on the road," I said quickly, pointing in front of me. "I said, excuse me?"

"You're excused." God, he was so dense sometimes.

"No, I mean excuse me, with a question mark at the end. What happened between Bella and me last night?"

"Bro, you were all over each other at the house. It took me forever to pull you two apart; I was about to call in back up."

If there had been something in my mouth, it would have now been all over the dashboard. "What?" I screamed. There was no way…he had to be kidding.

Emmett laughed loudly. "Don't feel bad, it was hot."

I rolled my eyes; off course he would say that. "What am I going to tell Tanya?"

"You won't tell T-Monster anything. You're on a break, remember?"

"T-Monster?"

Emmett was silent. "I mean, uh, Tanya."

I ignored his not-so-loving nickname; there were more important things to focus on at the moment, like how I probably shoved my tongue down my friend's throat and the sheer mass of her boyfriend.

"Shit, and she has a boyfriend, too. Jake will get the entire football team after me and then I'll have to move schools and…"

"Dude, quit being such a drama queen," Emmett cut in, stopping my rambling comments, "Jake and Bella are on a little break right now. You have no worries."

Relief coursed through my veins. "Really?"

Emmett nodded. "Yes, so you were both free and single last night."

"Damn." I rubbed my hands over my eyes.

"Yep," Emmett agreed, popping the p at the end of the word for emphasis. "So how was it?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

I glared at him. "Even if I could remember, Em, I wouldn't tell you how it was."

He scoffed. "Why the hell not?"

"I don't ask you about Rose, do I?" He was going to hate me for this.

For the first time in his life, Emmett blushed. Burn.

"What, what are you talking about? Me and Rose?" His face was the same color as the apple he was currently eating as a 'warm up' to breakfast.

It was my turn to chuckle. "Yes, you and Rose. We all know the two of you pretend that you don't go home together after a night downtown, but that you've been secretly hooking up for the past six months."

"All of you?" He blanched.

I shook my head back and forth, pretending to ponder his question. "Bella might not know…on second thought, she's best friends with Alice, so I'm sure she knows."

"Shit, Rose is going to kill me," he was shaking his head back and forth now.

"Nah man, you'll be fine. Maybe you should just make her an honest woman," I offered.

"Make her honest? Edward, I'm not marrying her…we're in college."

I chuckled. "I'm not telling you to marry her, just take her on a few dates or something."

Emmett nodded his head up and down. "I could probably do that, take her to a dinner, buy her some drinks downtown."

"No drinks downtown, Em," I scolded, "dinner and a movie and maybe ask her to formal as your date, not as your friend because you couldn't find anyone else."

I could almost see the wheels turning slowly in his head. "I think you're on to something, E."

I reached over and patted him on the shoulder. "Let me know how it goes," I said with a grin.

"I will," he assured me, "but seriously, no memories of Bella?"

I shook my head back and forth firmly as he turned into McDonald's. "None."

"At all?" He really wasn't going to give up, was he?

I rolled my eyes as I pulled my phone out of my pocket; I needed to let Bella know what went on last night. "None at all," I said as I typed out a message.

I heard we made out. –E

I closed my eyes as I pressed the send button, hoping that she wasn't mad at me because it kind of sounded like I might have attacked her a little bit.

I'm hearing the same thing. Emmett and his loud ass mouth. -B

So, she wasn't mad…and she already knew. My money was on Alice. That was good. I laughed out loud at her comment about Emmett and typed out a response.

Never to be spoken of again? –E

I hope she agreed, because I knew that I wanted last night's events to be brushed under the rug, for the sake of my general health and to keep Tanya from clawing Bella's eyes out.

"You told Alice?" I asked as I waited for Bella to respond.

"Maybe," Emmett said in a tone that said, 'Yes, of course I did.' He had a little bit of an issue with keeping his mouth shut sometimes.

Never. –B
