Embers and Betrayal || Emmett Cullen

03

"Hey there smallfry!" Came Emmett's joyful cry as Sam opened the passenger door to his large Jeep.

"Hi Em." She paused and took a second to look at the Jeep. "Jesus this thing is fucking huge..."

Sam smiled lightly when the boy started laughing at her. "You need any help?" He raised a brow at her, attempting to stop laughing. Sam huffed at him and grabbed a hold of the railing on the side of the door to start pulling herself up. "No, I got it." Slowly Sam pulled herself up into the car before sitting herself down in the passenger seat.

"You're just a little monkey, aren't ya?"

Sam smirked at Emmett, who was snickering at her. "Hell yeah I am, you know how much trouble I used to get in for climbing up to places I shouldn't have been in? ....Used too, never mind I got yelled at for climbing on the roof yesterday." Sam's face lit up as she laughed at the memory of her mother yelling at her to get off of the roof.

Emmett's head tilted slightly in curiosity as he looked at the smaller girl in shock. "You did what yesterday?"

Sam's smirk turns into a much larger grin as she began to explain. "So when we got into town yesterday, our van was supposed to be here before us and it wasn't. So the house was locked 'cause my mom forgot she left the keys in the u-haul on accident. While my mom was bitching about the truck I saw what's now my bedroom window was kinda opened, so I climbed up, got in and unlocked the door from the inside."

Sam watched Emmett shake his head at her with disbelief.

"You're just gonna be a handful aren't ya? Being in places you shouldn't be?"

"If we're gonna be friends? Bet your ass I am."

"Then life just got so much more fun."

Sam couldn't help the smile that forced its way onto her lips at his comment. She felt a wave of happiness pass over her knowing that he wanted their friendship just as much as she did. Knowing that he wanted her by his side...as friends of course.

She didn't know why it was affecting her so much...him wanting to be friends with her. Or even why she just felt so happy around him, so serene. With the slight shake of her Sam forced herself to stop thinking about it, not wanting to ponder over the topic too much. She watches as Emmett starts reversing the jeep before starting to drive down the road.

She didn't have to know he planned on the two of them doing, to know that she was going to have a great night.

"So what are we up too?"

"To be honest I've got no clue..I didn't exactly come up with a plan." Emmett winced sheepishly, finally realising that he actually had no clue what he and his tiny mate were going to be up too..The vampire did a double take at his own thoughts. His tiny mate. He liked the thought of that.

Sam raised a brow from beside him before chuckling. "Alright then, guess we'll just see where the wind takes us."

"There isn't much to do in forks..Maybe next time we can go up and hang out in Port Angeles, They've got a ton of crap to do up there."

"Next time huh?" Sam giggled. "I like the sound of that mountain man."

Emmett's face contorted into a weird, confused one, glancing over at her he raised one of his eyebrows at her. "Mountain man?"

The brunette just shrugged at him in response. "Nicknames aren't exactly my forte"

It wasn't long before they were cruising through the town of forks, Sam watching out the window as they passed buildings and shops. It was good that she was finally getting to explore the town. Then she would know where to go should she need something.
