Charlie wanted to spend some time with Bella so I took her home and told her I'd come by later tonight.
Why the hell is Bella keep sneaking around the house with Emmett? Obviously nothing sexual is going on, right? I mean they must be up to something else. I know I won't have sex with Bella but that doesn't mean she'd go sneaking off with Emmett. I mean come on, seriously? He would jump in the sack in a heartbeat but not with Rosalie in the picture. He loves her and she'd beat the shit out of him if he ever did cheat. So that's off the list. What else could it be?
I snapped out of my train of thought when Emmett came to sit next to me on the couch.
"Hey bro, watcha thinking about?"
"Nothing."
"Oh please, Edward Cullen doesn't go staring off and not be thinking about something. It's Bella, isn't it? Geez, isn't there anything else you think about?" He chuckled to himself.
I didn't say anything.
He shifted himself on the couch to turn to me. "But seriously man, I mean I love Bella too and all but really? I don't get it. I mean her body is okay and everything but do you remember all those vampire chicks that were all over you? Man, you could have had any of them, some at the same time. You flushed that down the toilet. What were you thinking?"
I turned to him and gave him a death stare. "Don't start with me, Emmett."
He patted me on my shoulder. "I'm just messin' with ya bro. But seriously, what's goin' on? And remember, I have the attention span of a 5 year old so if you don't start talking soon I'll get bored and leave." Wow, he's so nice, isn't he?
I let out a sigh and thought about how I do need to get this off of my chest, so what the hell.
"I just don't understand Emmett."
"Understand what?"
"Bella. She's been acting weird all day."
"Really, how so?"
"It's like she is avoiding me and when she is with me she seems out of it and distant."
"Mmm."
"I mean I'm not sure if it's something I did or there is something going on with her… I dunno, I'm at a loss."
"Well, did you ever think that maybe it's something you didn't do?"
I turned to look at him. Was he actually being insightful? And more than that, maybe he was right. "What do you mean?"
"Well, maybe there is something she wants from you. Try talking to her. Maybe something is on her mind and she doesn't know where to begin?"
I looked at him in confusion. "Emmett… do you know something I don't?"
He didn't speak for a moment. He patted me on my shoulder and as he got up he said, "Just talk to her." And he started laughing as he walked away.
What the hell was that? Is he up to something? Or actually being serious? All I know is that I need to talk to Bella.
I got my keys and I headed to her house.
EmPOV
Oh wow that talk with Edward went great. I told him that maybe he should talk to Bella and see what her "problem" was. This is the last thing she wants and now he's going right over there to talk to her. Ha! She is going to freak. This is awesome!
Right from talking to Edward I called Bella and told her I was coming over. I told her I "found out some important information." She was so anxious for me to come over it was almost impossible not to laugh.
She told me to come in her window because her dad was home and wanted to spend the day with her. She would make up an excuse to go to her room for a few minutes. I don't care what the excuse is; I'm just looking forward to the conversation.
She left the window open and I climbed in. She wasn't in her room so I texted her to let her know I was in there.
She came up and ran right over to me.
"Okay, dish."
"Damn. Impatient much?"
"Emmett."
"Well I asked him if you guys did anything after I left. He had paused for a moment and then started talking."
"Okay. And what did he say?"
"He said that you guys headed upstairs and had what he say 'alone time.' As you know, Edward isn't one with words."
I nodded. "Yeah."
"But…" I wanted to see her response.
"But what?" Haha. She is so anxious.
"Wait." I paused. "I smell Edward, I have to go. I don't want him to know I was here."
She didn't say anything. I jumped out the window and ran into the woods. I guess Edward was stopping by because of our "talk." See, I can do wonders with my incredible mind. I couldn't help but smile to myself as I ran back home.
BPOV
I wonder why Edward is here. Not that I mind seeing him. I love him too much to ever not want to see him. But still, he said he wouldn't be here until tonight. I guess I'll find out.
I walked over to my bedroom door to check if Charlie was there. I went downstairs to get a drink and acted like I got a call on my cell phone.
"Dad, I need to take this call. I'll be down when I'm done, okay?"
"Sure, sure. No problem."
Okay so that's taken care of. I headed back upstairs.
I tried to act like I didn't know he was going to be in my room. I shut the door and turned around. Then I saw him.
"Edward, you scared me. What are you doing here?" I hope I sounded convincing.
"I wanted to talk to you." Oh crap, I bet this is about last night. Oh geez, I don't even know where this would start.
"I feel like you're being a little distant. You're sneaking around with Emmett and I'm just confused." He sniffed. "Why does it smell like Emmett in here? He's never been in your room before."
"Oh, um, I had spilled something on my shirt earlier and he gave me a shirt to wear home."
"Oh." He looked like he didn't believe me. I'm in deep shit. "Um, so about the distance. I just feel that you're hiding something."
"I'm sorry about that. I just didn't know where to start."
"Start with what?" Great he's making me explain it.
"About last night."
He smiled, "Oh Bella. You're so silly. I don't care what happened last night. I love you. It's seriously no big deal." He looked relieved. Well guess what, I'm not.
"What the hell do you mean you don't care? I would think you would!"
"Bella, I don't understand what you're getting worked up about?"
"We did something special last night and you're talking about the fact that it's no big deal. And that who cares about it and it's silly for me to think that we both should have enjoyed it."
He was ready to speak but I cut him off.
I put up my hand. "Please, Edward. Can you just leave and we can talk about this later?"
I could tell he wanted to say more but he stopped himself. He nodded and jumped out the window.
I flew back on my bed and put my arm over my head. I can't believe this is happening. Not only can I not remember what was suppose to be the best night of my life, but the man who I shared it with is saying that it was no big deal. How am I supposed to interpret that?
I was getting tired. Maybe if I take a nap I'll feel a little better.
EPOV
What the hell was that about? I was just trying to let her know that her getting high and drunk without her knowledge was not her fault and I was not judging her for her behavior. I was trying to reassure her and somehow I was getting yelled at. I'll give her some space and hopefully she'll talk to me later. But wait, why did it smell like Emmett in there? I didn't see his shirt anywhere. I'm beyond confused. I don't know what the hell is going on.
I arrived back at the house and everyone was there. I just went right up to my bedroom.
I kept texting her but she never replied.
About an hour later I got a text. I hurried to my phone and it was Bella. Who else would it be? It's not like I'm Mr. Popular with a million friends. She said she had taken a nap and just got the text. I couldn't help but think about what she looked like while she slept. She's so beautiful.
Text:
"Sorry Edward, I was taking a nap."
"It's okay love. Can we please talk?" She didn't reply for about 2-3 minutes. It was the longest 2-3 minutes in my life.
"I don't know Edward. What you said really hurt." I have no idea what she is talking about. There is definite miscommunication here.
"Bella, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."
"Are you serious! It was special and you said that it was no big deal!"
"I'm sorry Bella I think we're not on the same page here. Can you please come over tonight or I can come there so we can talk?"
"Fine. I'll come to your house. I drive over around 7pm."
"Okay. Thank you so much. I love you." I didn't get any reply for a few seconds. I got worried. Was she that mad?
"Love you ;)" A wink. Yes. I got a wink. Then I got one last text from her.
"Don't think that just because I put a wink doesn't mean I'm not mad at you."
I didn't mind. I got a "Love you" and a wink. That was enough for me.
Okay. It's 6:30pm, just a half hour longer. Is it normal that I'm sitting around for her to come over? I'm like a nervous wreck. What is wrong with me?
I heard Emmett come in the room. "Not now Emmett."
"Dude chill. What's with you?"
"Bella is pissed at me and I'm not sure why. She is coming over so we can talk."
"Geez. That girl needs to check her mood swings."
I glared at him. "Oh please Emmett. Like you have room to talk, Rose is like ten times worse."
He didn't say anything. He knew I was right. But that isn't the issue right now. Bella is.
"So what did you end up doing after we talked? Go to her house?"
I nodded.
"Did she say what was bothering her?"
"Well she started talking about last night and I told her not to worry about it and that it was no big deal. I mean you're the one that put the alcohol and pot in her drink and brownies. I wanted to let her know I'm not mad at her or anything. She got a little crazy when you had left."
"Damn really? I wish I were there. I can only imagine the things she did. From past experience I know that she can be wild when she drinks." He started laughing to himself. I just disregarded it.
"Well, I guess you'll find out. I hear her coming up the drive way."
I got a little panicky. I heard the car door shut and our front door open. I'm so glad that she is comfortable enough to walk right in as if this was her home. Correction, this is her home.
She came into the living room where I was. She asked if we could go upstairs and I followed.
When we got into the room she turned around and started talking.
"Edward, can we please just be straight with each other? Lay it out and hold nothing back?"
"Of course. I'd like nothing more."
She took a deep breath. "Edward, I don't remember anything from last night. I mean I do some parts but toward the end is what I can't fully remember."
I nodded. "Yeah, I figured."
"But that includes… you know." I was confused. What is she specifically talking about?
"What do you mean?"
"You know… the sex."
"What sex?"
"Edward, the sex we had last night."
"Bella, we didn't have sex last night." Where would she get that idea?
"We didn't?"
"No." I couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"Please don't laugh at me. I feel stupid enough."
"I'm sorry. But love, why would you think we had sex?"
"Well, I woke up without any clothes on and I came to that conclusion. And you kept saying you wanted to talk to me about something. I thought it was about that."
I kept trying to hold back a laugh. "Bella, we did not have sex. Last night Emmett put pot in the brownies and rum in your soda. You were dancing really crazy and started stripping. Then you were getting kind of frisky with me and almost took off your top but I pulled it back on. But then you actually did take off your top and I hurried to cover you back up. You ran upstairs and by the time I came up into the bedroom you passed out on the bed. You had taken your clothes off already so I just put you under the covers as you were." I sighed. I hope telling her everything made her ease up a little bit.
She didn't say anything. "Bella?"
She was blushing to the tenth power. "Yeah. Sorry. Just taking it all in."
"And the thing I wanted to talk to you about, it was about a way to get back at Emmett for putting the pot in your brownies and the rum in your soda."
"But Emmett said…"
What does Emmett have to do with this? "What did Emmett say?"
"He told me that you said…"
She kept pausing each time she started to form a sentence. After talking a little bit more we finally we put the pieces together and realized Emmett was behind all of this. He was so going to pay.
We both went to his bedroom. I swung the door open. He was on his bed with his lap top laughing. He didn't notice we were there.
All we saw was Bella on the coffee table dancing while drinking her soda. She then started stripping and almost revealed her breasts and that is when I tackled her. The view of the camera showed it from outside. He must have been video taping this from the side window.
When Bella saw at the part where she was now on the couch with me hovering over her and she had fully lifted up her shirt she screamed, "EMMETT!"
He turned around with fear written all over his face.
He looked at her and then at me. I was furious. He drugged my girlfriend. He videotaped her stripping. And now he tricked us both to the point where we were fighting. I gave him a death stare and tackled him. We were wrestling and made our way out into the hallway. Bella was pressed against the wall so we wouldn't hit her. I saw her grab his laptop and ran into my room. I'm gathering she'll either want to watch it and then delete it or just straight up delete it. I prefer the first choice but it's her naked on the video and I don't want anyone else to see her naked other than her or me.
I finally made it to the foyer and I threw Emmett threw the window. He laid there. He was smart not to get up.
This morning I was confident with a plan to get back at Emmett and somehow he ended up tricking the both of us once again.
I was about to turn around to go upstairs when I saw he started to move.
I looked at him. He didn't look at me since his head was still on the ground but all I heard was, "You're both too easy."
Jackass.
Emmett is a piece of work, isn't he? Please leave reviews.
