Honey (Book 1)

Chapter 10

     Rosalie's POV

Isabella spent the night last night. Originally, I wanted nothing to do with the human. Completely confused as to why there was one in the house a few nights ago, Emmett told me she'd be important to me when I thought this girl was for Edward's sake.

It made sense that she was here as Edward's soulmate because everyone else has their own. Not that I don't want Edward to find his but it made me angry that we were going to put the family in danger for him. That he was going to put this girl in danger for himself and then ruin her life. Since the day I was turned and joined this family he was irritating, disproving everything I do. 

Now that I know what Bella is to me, I don't know what to do.

In the beginning of the week, I ran from the house to collect my thoughts. This was dangerous and reckless. I didn't want the family to get into trouble. The more I thought about it the more I started thinking about her. And how she would feel.

More than wanting to keep the family safe, I wanted Bella to be safe, like I want Emmett to be safe. I want her to have a choice. She shouldn't be in this life. Besides, it might not even work, the dynamics of the relationship. She might be uncomfortable  with Emmett.

However, in the mall, I meant what I said when she told me her worries. 

I was taken aback by her honesty and my heart warmed from her trust in me. I guess it was instinctual to her. But I want Bella to live a happy, normal life and have a family because that's what she deserves.

She can't have that with me. 

Well, when Emmett found me he scolded me for thinking that. He told me that we'd be her family and how she'd probably be happy with that. I can't deny her of motherhood but then Emmett proceed so shake his head. 

It's sorta funny, now, what he said. 

"Rose. The girl's got the hots for you, I mean how couldn't she. I think if the situation was different and kids were possible for us that you two would still have to adopt." He said this as he tried to not laugh. I just shook my head and shoved him. 

I could tell I had Bella's attention because she isn't very good at hiding her attraction. I would catch her staring and sometimes she'd notice but I didn't want to embarrass her and say something. Besides, I may have had my eyes on her a lot, too. 

Like I said, originally I wanted nothing to do with her so she could have a normal life. That was before she spent the night with her head in my lap, though. 

I didn't move all night. 

She didn't even realize that she was in my lap until she woke. I didn't watch her like a creep but I did look down at her and run my fingers through her soft, dark brown hair.

Emmett kept me company and we talked again. 

"This is your soulmate, Rosie." 

"So are you." I replied, grabbing one of his hands in mine. 

He smiled softly, "I know but you can't forget about her. I already think of her as my sister and I know she really likes you Rose. You two should talk because she'll  be with us as part of the family one way or another." 

Squeezing his hand, I nodded and looked back down to the human. Her eyelids flutter and she turned on her side, facing away from me.

 After that I knew I couldn't let her go, I need her now. While she ate breakfast, everyone was so happy and I couldn't help but smile at Bella all the while. I know everyone noticed but I didn't care. She's just so beautiful and smart.
