I felt like I was walking on air as I walked up the walk way and into the house. Bella and Dad were waiting for me, oh shit this can't be good.
"Emm, what did Dr.Cullen want?" I could so easily mess with him (evil laugh)
"Congrates dad you're going to be a grandpa."God I'm so evil. I burst out laughing as he turned from red to blue to purple,"Calm down dad I was messing with you."
As his color righted itself,"Funny Emma."
"I thought so, but seriously he invited me and Bells over tomorrow so she can get to know Alice."
"And he invited you too?"Disbelieve evident that there wasn't anything more to it.
"Yes sir, I have a feeling it was to make Bell fell more comfortable."
"Do you know if the rumors are true?"
"What rumors?"I asked softly as I raised an eyebrow and we sat down to dinner.
"That he and Mrs. Cullen are divorced."My eyes widened confirming my fears,"Emm, you ok? You look like you've saw a ghost."
"Word travels fast."I managed to get out.
"That's not all."
"Of course it's not."
"They say he left her for a certain little lady who owns Haven." I nearly fainted
"Uhm, DadI am most certainly not the reason for their divorce, and she left him actually. That's why he came into Haven the other day to see if I knew anything."
"And did you?"
"Only that Esme was considering it to be a possibility. I did not know that she actually served him the papers."
"Are you sure you're alright you look really pale, sis."Bella finally piped in.
"Peachy,"I brushed passed her,"Thanks for dinner Bells." I said mootly as I rinsed my plate and put it in the dishwasher,"I'm going for a drive, I'll be back later."
I walked into Haven the next morning wishing I could find out who started this god awful rumor. So instead I text Carlisle.
Hey we might have a slight problem on our hands.
Whilst waiting for him to reply I straighten up shop a bit. An elderly lady who I knew as Ms. Franks made her way into the shop.
"Good morning Ms. Franks."I said cheerfully
She glared at me and shook her cane in my direction,"You broke up that nice couple! I thought your father raised you better!"
"No ma'am I did not break them up I assure you."She spat at my feet and left. I groaned and slid to the floor using the wall for support,"This is going to be a long day. Some one just put me out of my misery." I grumbled to myself as I mopped the floor not noticing the bell ting as the door opened. I jumped when I heard a throat clearing.
"Carlisle, are you trying to give me a heart attack? Good Goley man a simple hello Emma would work."
"I am sorry Emma."
I sighed,"No I'm sorry for snapping."
"I got your message and it sounded like something that should be discussed in person rather than through a text or over the phone."
"Come on I'll explain everything."
I sat in silence keeping my eyes on him once I explained the events from last night.
"Well , you cannot say this town doesn't like a good piece of gossip."I rolled my eyes,"However you can't let it get to you, because you and I both know it is not true."He said as he placed a cold hand on my warm cheek.
"Yes we do both know this , but it's hard to not feel like a bad guy when a sweet old lady spits at your feet."
"She spat at your feet?"He asked amusement painted his honey eyes.
"Yep" He chuckled I scowled playfully,"I'm glad I can amuse you."
"I hate to chat and run but I do have to get back to the hospital. I will see you at six yes?"
"Of course anything to get out of watching a Mariners game with dad and Billy."I shutter dramatically for affect.
"Uh huh, so I'm a scapegoat now?" he teased and leaned closer to me.
"Never,"I teased back.
"I really do have to go."
"Damn it, and here I thought I got to keep you until six."
"No but you can keep this until six with a promise for more to come."
"Keep what-"He cut me off as he kissed me. I broke away gasping for air,"Good...god...man!"I said in between deep breaths he smiled sheepishly at me,"Those lips are damn dangerous, but you know I like it."
"Good"He said simply with a wink and was out the door.
I sped home, not literally I don't want to get pulled over by Charlie. Once in the safety of the house I left out the girliest squeal ever know to man.
"What the, Emma, was that you?"I didn't notice Bella sitting on her bed.
"Repeat to no one, got it."
"Course."
"Good, now if you'll excuse me dear sister I'm going to change."
"Getting ready for your date?"She teased
"Date?"
"Oh come on Emma you and I both know Dr. Cullen didn't invite you so I wouldn't freak out. He likes you."
My mind flashed back to the kiss in Haven,"Bella you will not repeat what I'm about to tell you to anyone, especially Charlie, got it?"
"Yeah"
"Carlisle came to the shop today so we could talk about the rumor that we heard from dad last night, and as he was going to leave he kissed me."I blushed.
"See I told you he likes you, Emma!"
I threw the first shirt that was in my hand, a black shirt with the words Chicago Bears printed on it, while I rummaged for something to wear with my black converse. I finally discovered my navy blue tank top and black cardigan pair threw it on, ran my brush through the wavy monster called my hair, and grabbed my coat. Rushing Bella to the car in the process.
My hands were shaking as I gripped the wheel when my phone chimed.
"Oooh it's from Carlisle,"Bella teased.
"Just read me the message Bell."
"Kill joy, it says turn when you see lights line the trees, Alice outdid herself again."
"Alright lights line the trees,"at the moment I say lights lining the trees,"Well that was simple." I said as I turned onto the gravel driveway leading to the house I remembered from the times Esme would invite me over to help with her flower gardens. I took a deep breath,"Shall we dear sister?"I asked calmly as humanly possible considering we were about to enter a house full of vampires and only one of us knew that.
"Emm, what did Dr.Cullen want?" I could so easily mess with him (evil laugh)
"Congrates dad you're going to be a grandpa."God I'm so evil. I burst out laughing as he turned from red to blue to purple,"Calm down dad I was messing with you."
