Previously...

“How about I come here around eleven in the morning?” Emmett suggests to me, as he flashes me that familiar smile of his, and I feel like I am going to melt just by the presence of his body so close to mine.

“Sure Emmett. You can come by to pick me up but don't let my father intimidate you,” I say with a grin, as I walked to the front door, and I walk inside, leaving Emmett outside.

I know he needed to get something to eat or he was going to lose his mind by being so close to me. As much as it thrilled me to be so close to him, I needed to keep myself check. Until tomorrow, Emmett Cullen...

I could not believe how nervous I was right now. Then again, I was going on a date with Emmett Cullen, and it still surprised me that he was single. I would have thought when I met his family he would be with that beautiful blonde, Rosalie. When I found out that Edward and Rosalie were together, I was very much surprise, but at the same time, I was surprised that he was single. Were women scared of him because he was big or something?

All I knew was I could not wait to see Emmett, especially since he seemed interested in me. I really liked that he didn't push me away when he found out I was half human and half vampire. Emmett had told me on previous occasions that he really loved seeing my cheeks getting all pink. I had done nothing but blush even harder, which made that booming laugh leave his lips. It amazed me how he could make me laugh or the fact that he ate as much as a bear.

Emmett was someone I couldn't even imagine seeing myself with, though, and that was so exciting. Emmett could make me laugh and it was so damn exciting too! I was really excited about our date and I couldn't help but wonder where he was going to take me.

“Be good, Emmett, and don't scare the girl.”

I rolled my eyes at my mother and father's words, as I shut the door, walking to my red Jeep Wrangler, and I couldn't wait to see Bella Swan. I loved that she was half vampire and half human because seeing her blush and the fact that she was like me only excited me. I loved the fact that she was so clumsy too, as it only gave me an excuse to touch her hand to help her to her feet.

“Here I come, Bella.”

Emmett had picked me up not too long ago and I was so excited and nervous. Apparently, we were having a picnic, but he wouldn't tell me exactly where. I had a blindfold over my eyes, as Emmett held my hand, leading the way, while he held the picnic basket in his hand. I stepped over a few barks of trees that had fallen from a recent thunderstorm.

“Emmett, where are we going?” I asked again, as I could hear him chuckling, and I groaned in anticipation, wondering where Emmett Cullen was taking me. “Are we almost there?”

Emmett just laughed, as he lifted her like a flower over the last bark, and he saw that they were at their destination.

“Hold on, Bells. Don't move.”

“You are up to something, aren't you?” I found myself asking, as I could hear him moving around, and I was so excited.

As I felt him stand behind me, I also felt that blind fold being removed from my eyes, and I gasped at the sight. Even though it was day time, what I was seeing was so beautiful. Emmett had a blanket set out on the ground, a picnic basket in the center, two bottles of a champagne glass, which I knew was filled with animal blood, and two glasses beside it. I then smiled when I saw the beautiful candles along the field and I gasped.

“Emmett... this... this is beautiful... but this is our first date together.”

Emmett smiled, as he kissed my cheek from behind, and he wrapped his arms from behind. “I know.”

“Wow, this is truly amazing, Emmett. I... I don't even know what to say. Do you usually treat girls you like this way?”

I found myself liking Emmett Cullen more and more. It was amazing the effect he had on me and I was definitely not used to a guy paying me so much attention but I definitely liked it. Over the several weeks, I enjoyed spending time with Emmett on my breaks, and it amazed me that he really enjoyed coming to see me. When he would come and see me at the hospital, I thought I would see Dr. Cullen smiling at me.

“No, you're the only girl I've been interested in here at Forks, Washington to be honest, Bella. I know if I get with one of these fragile girls here, I will only break them,” Emmett said with a grin, as he sat down, and he pulled me right into his lap.

Just hearing Emmett say that just made me smile because I was really happy. If Leah could see me now, she could see that I was not interested in my best friend, Jacob Black. I just shook my head, as that girl seriously had a problem.

“I am glad that you asked me out, Emmett. Seth had kept on telling me that you had a thing for me but I didn't believe him whatsoever,” I told him, as I just smiled at Emmett, and I ran a hand through my dark hair.

“Well, your friend is pretty smart, Bella. I liked you ever since we met at the diner when your friend was flirting with that waitress. I happen to think you're quite the sexy half vampire I have met.”

I felt my cheeks reddening, as I then watched him open the champagne bottle, pouring the red content in the two wine glasses that he brought. I already knew that the bottles were filled with animal blood – bear blood to be exact, as I remember Edward and Alice telling me that was Emmett's favorite kind of blood.

“I hope you like bear blood, Bella.”

I simply nod, taking the glass, and I took a sip from my glass, leaning against him. Emmett Cullen only seemed to surprise me more and more each time we got to know one another. I was very glad that Emmett seemed to be interested in me, as I would have thought he would have liked someone not like me. I had always been judge because I was different, being half vampire. It was hard and that was one of the reasons my mother sent me to live with my father. I began to wonder if the Cullen family knew of my vampire, erratic mother. I would have to ask Carlisle and Esme when I got a chance.

“So, how are you liking it here in Forks, Washington, Bella?” Emmett asked me, as I slid off of his lap, so that he could get the food easily out the basket.

“Actually, things are going pretty good. I am spending more time with my father, Seth is as crazy as ever since he started to date that waitress, Taylor, I have a good job, and I just found out that the guy I like is a vampire. What more could I ever want?”

“Actually, I had an offer for you. Since you don't know me that well, you can say no,” Emmett said to me, as he took off the chicken, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, and the steamed vegetables from the basket.

“Uh sure, it depends what it is,” I tell him, as I ran a hand through my hair, and I smiled over at him, and I licked across my bottom lip. “So, what exactly is on your mind, Emmett?”

“Alice, Jasper, and I found this really nice place by our current house the other day. Jasper heard our Dad talking to your father, who said you've been looking for a place. Well, Alice came up with an idea that you could, if you want, you could move in with us.”

Hearing the nervousness in Emmett's voice, all I could do was smile, and I set my glass down, looking straight into his eyes. My hand found its way to his cheek, cupping it softly in my hand.

“Are you sure you want me there? I might have some habits that you might not like,” I tell Emmett, as I feel him place his large hand on my hand that was upon his cheek, and I give him a small smile.

“Bella, if I didn't expect that, then you wouldn't be here with me. I would love to have someone. I hate feeling like a third wheel, especially when Jasper and Alice are all over each other sometimes,” Emmett tells me laughing, as he flashes me a grin, and he grabbed my hand in his hand, kissing the fingertips. “I would like to have you there, and besides, your room would be right next to mine.”

I smiled at the thought of Emmett being next door to me. The thought of being around vampires did make me feel better because my father still had no idea that I was an actual vampire. He thought I was the prettiest girl but that was it.

“It would be nice to not hide who I am, as that is what I have to do when I am around my father,” I say to Emmett, who kissed my knuckles, and I blushed to his lips against my skin.

Emmett made me feel things that I never ever felt before and it was so exciting that one guy – a full fledged vampire, could make me feel all these emotions. I had never been involved with a vampire and I wasn't exactly sure what this meant. Although, I had to admit I was very excited about becoming roommates with three vampires, and I couldn't help but wonder what Charlie would say to me moving out.

“Well, you won't have to ever hide around us, Bella,” Emmett smiled, as he caressed my cheek, and he ran his thumb over my bottom lip. “I like that I can make you blush, Bells.”

All I could do was blush an even redden color in my cheeks, as I ran my hands across my chest, and I had to admit that this date with Emmett was turning out pretty amazing. I just couldn't wait to see what else he had in store for me and that made me so anxious for the rest of the day.
