Sleeping With The Enemy (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Twenty Seven

--Emmett's Point Of View--

"So Emmett, wanna tell me about how you and Lucien got together?" James smirked patting the chair next to Cressida.

"Oh well, I was injured and he took care of me" I mumbled sinking into the chair ignoring Cressida's skeptical look.

"See Cress I told you Lucien had a heart somewhere" He chuckled turning his gaze back to the baby in his arms.

"A very small cold heart, it only turns one for this guy" He scoffed nudging me with his knee "But dad, I have a very serious question for you" His expression stiffened as he leaned forward in the chair.

"What is it?" The look of panic flashed across James' eyes, Daniel started to frown leaning over to take the sleeping child from his arms to nestle her into the little crib near the window.

"I want to join the selection for the Defensive Force" He made eye contact with his father whose face turned to utter horror.

"No. No way, I'm not having both of my sons trapped in there. I was apprehensive with Lucien taking over his role but not you Cress, you would be gone as soon as you made it in" He shook his head blinking back the tears forming in his eyes wincing as he pulled on his stitches trying to move closer to Cressida.

"Take it easy James, you're way too weak to be moving too much" Daniel scolded placing a hand on his shoulder to push him back

"Cress, c'mon this isn't the right time for this" I protested trying to shut him up but he continued talking.

"We could protect you guys from evil though, You have a little baby to care for and you don't want a teenager running around" He whimpered trying to convince his father.

"Enough Cress, you have to be selected anyway. And never would we allow you to join" Daniel cut him off and Cressida immediately quietened, not even I would want to pick a fight with a guy like him.

It was around six at night before anything happened "Emmett, Lucien asked me to give these to you" Vincent had reappeared in the room holding a bag in his hands.

"Oh wow, He's gonna dress me now too?" I groaned taking the bag from him looking in at the black dress pants and white dress shirt with a satin black blazer neatly folded inside.

"Well are you gonna get dressed?" James beamed nodding towards the door of the bathroom, I hesitated for a moment before Cressida threatened to strip me down there and then.

"I don't see why it's so fancy" I grumbled buttoning up the dress shirt over the pants and struggling into the blazer, I for one hate dressy clothes more than anything.

"Aw you look like a real gentleman!" Cressida sqeauled yanking me by the arm back out into the room.

"Now you can pull that off even better" James nodded smiling widely nudging Daniel who made a short nod despite the fact he was already dozing off.

"Now that you're dressed, do accompany me to the car" Vincent smirked tapping his watch impatiently.

"Good Luck Emmett, don't get too wasted before we can take you out tomorrow" Cressida waved vigorously as I exitted into the hall with Vincent.

"Should I be worried?" I leaned over the car seat to where Vincent was driving silently.

"Not particularly, I think you'll enjoy it" A small smile played at his lips as he shoved me back into the backseat nearing towards where Lucien's family lived "He wanted to keep it close to the guest house" He rolled his eyes stopping the car in the drive way and getting out.

"Well I guess he has the perfect opportunity" I shrugged following him across the backyard fidgetting anxiously with the bottom of my jacket. I stopped dead in my tracks when I caught sight of the millions of candles and rose petals scattering the sand along with a red blanket spread across a good measure of it with matching pillows and extra blankets to even it all out.
