Last Train To Clarksville

We both ran like the wind to the woods, laughing the whole way. When we approached a herd of deer she ran up behind me, jumped on my back, then flipped over to get the largest buck, the one I was going for. It was wonderful to hear Rosalie laugh at me,then she scared the deer in many different directions. She thought it was just hysterical that she ate and I didn’t. At this point my throat was burning intensely; it was hard to watch her suck the buck dry. I said “Rosalie!” in a laughing growl “You took my dinner and didn’t even share!” Rosalie, still with a laugh in her eye answered coolly, “Emmett, how could I have known what you wanted, you didn’t say ‘pass the buck please’.” I yelled “That’s it, you better run and hide!” All of a sudden I thought to myself, ‘Emmett when are you going to learn to keep your mouth shut’. I was afraid she would get upset thinking back to Royce cornering her. Then it happened, Rosalie pushed me down and ran laughing all the way saying “You have to catch me first!”

Rosalie went barreling through the trees, and I was in quick pursuit after her. When I got up to her I caught her by her waist and I turned her to face me and I kissed her. She grabbed me with both hands on my cheeks and kissed me back, I mean really kissed me back! It was so unexpected, that I fell back and she fell on top of me. She looked happy to me, and this time I said to myself ‘Emmett keep your mouth shut’.

I thought I was in heaven with my angel. I had many thoughts rip through my head. Vampires can think of many different things at once and still be focused on what they are doing and the feelings that go with it. I didn’t want to think of anything else, I just wanted to concentrate on kissing Rosalie. Rosalie rolled to her side continuing the kiss, and just as quickly as it started Rosalie stopped, and rolled on her back. I stayed on my side looking at her and gently taking my hand, I started to softly stoke her face. It is a beautiful face, if you met her anywhere you would be mesmerized by it. If she is this beautiful now, I could imagine what she looked like before. Changing into a vampire enhances your look and thankfully toward the better. She must have been beautiful when she was a human.

Human, I wished we had met when we were human. She probably would never have looked at me twice at that time I laughed to myself.

Rosalie’s eyes drifted off to another place, I have started to call it her dark place, then they suddenly came right back to the present. She didn’t seem upset at all, it seemed to me that she was thinking of what to say next, which was excellent as I didn’t want to taste my foot yet again, nor would I want to spoil this wonderful moment we were sharing.

“Emmett?” she said hesitantly, “I’m so sorry.” I looked at her confused; usually it was me who was sorry. “What?…why?” I asked her, “I don’t understand why you are sorry. Are you sorry we kissed?” “Oh, no!” she answered quickly. “Emmett, I’m sorry because it’s taking me a long time to be able to give myself to you. I am just beginning to trust myself, and my decisions. I really didn’t expect you to stay with me so long. It must be very hard for you. ” She softly answered. “Rosalie, Angel” I started to say “I want you to take as much time as you need. I have already fallen head over heels in love with you, and I will wait until forever for you.” “But, But” she started; I quickly put a finger on her lips to stop her from saying anything. “Please Rose, listen to me, I’ll wait until the end of time if I need to. I don’t want you to do anything you are not ready for, and anyway I don’t want you that way until you are comfortable, and we are united together.” With that Rosalie stared at me surprised and said “What are you saying Emmett?” I looked at her mischievously and answered her “Come on Rose, I know you heard me.” “Yes I did”, she answered, then went on to say “I’ll let you know when I am ready, but until then you can woo me”. We both started laughing together. Then I finished our talk with “Woo you, I don’t know if I can afford to woo you…” Rosalie smirked.

“Emmett, it’s time for me to cook you a dinner! You have yet to see my culinary expertise.” She sprung up and ran as fast as she could. She found a large buck and brought it down. I was watching every part of her, her grace, her eyes, and most of all her smile. “Well”, she said matter of factly, “Are you just going to stand there and look like a lost puppy, or are you going to drink your dinner. I promised I would cook it for you and here it is!” I can’t really recall when we had this much fun in a real long time.

We continued to hunt until we were full. I could still sense the burning in my throat, but that really doesn’t go away. Carlise told me that he has learned from others of our kind that the burn never goes away, even if you drink humans.
I knew that it was getting late, and it was time to go back to the city and get on the train. I looked at the horizon and remarked out loud, “What a beautiful sunset, a perfect end to a perfect day, with the perfect love, and lady by my side.” I swear it looked that Rosalie would have blushed right then if she could. “Emmett” she whispered “Sometimes you step on your own feet when you say things to me, but I want you to know that many times you know how to say the right thing to make me feel wanted, loved, and safe.” “So,” I laughed and said, “Does this mean that we are officially dating?” Rosalie at that point rolled her eyes at me, kissed me again, turned and without words we ran.

As we were heading towards the station I replayed the last few hours in my mind over and over. I couldn’t believe we finally crossed that barrier. My angel has let me in, and I found out how much I was in love with her. Wait a minute; did I really allude to marriage? I did! Oh, I can’t believe I said that, but the most important thing to remember is she didn’t react negatively, most of all she didn’t slap me.

When we reached the station Edward and Carlise were already there. We found out that Esme’s train already left. Emily was safe at her mother’s house. Carlise made sure Mr. Lindsey and his goons were sleeping restlessly in jail awaiting arraignment. Mr. Lindsey was arrested for tax evasion, the IRS found out about his second set of books. He actually has a second set of books, which conveniently fell into the hand of the FBI. The IRS seized all his assets until it could figure how much he owed to them. It seems that Mr. Lindsey can be connected to organized crime, and can be traced to a list of crimes. and one of his goons is talking. Rosalie smiled, that’s what I loved to see. Her happiness, that’s what I wanted, I wanted her to be happy.

It seems that we accomplished everything we wanted to do today. Edward shook his head and laughed. He was listening to something. I can’t wait to find out if he found out anything that my Rosalie was thinking, again he shook his head yes. Our train arrived and after hugs and kisses, and kisses, and even more kisses, Edward pulled me by the shirt sighed and said “Come on Romeo, it is time to board the last train to Clarksville.
