Expect the Unexpected Chapter Three

Chapter 31

I had a great time, but now I have to be a stripper2

Emmett’s P.o.V3

Shawn turned and pulled out a stack of papers that could’ve only been his homework. 4

“Its right here, Skye.” He said, and I looked at Skye.5

“I’ll be outside in the hall.” I said to her, and she nodded, sitting on the couch close to Shawn. I turned, walking out the door and pulled out my phone, calling Alice. She answered the phone her voice eerily cheery.6

“Yes Emmett?” she said, and I could hear a nail file in the background.7

“I need your help.” I said, and the nail file paused for a moment before continuing.8

“With what, exactly?”9

“I want to surprise Skye, but I can only pull it off with your help.”10

“What would said surprise be, Emmett?” She asked, and I could hear Jasper talking in the background. Something about hunting tomorrow, and she replied in an irritated voice that she would, but he needed to shut up for a few minutes while she talked.11

“Okay, so basically Skye lives with eighteen people, and I want to take them all shopping. Of course I’ll have to talk to Carlisle, and Skye said something about Ryo being on a field trip, so when he get’s home. Transportation will suck some major to maintain, and I’ll have to get Skye’s permission too. She has it tough, and this is the least I can do to help her. You should see-”12

“You so realize you had me at shopping, right?” Alice said, cutting me off. I grinned. So Alice-like.13

“Thank you, Alice.”14

“You’re welcome, brother.” I flipped the phone closed, smiling to myself. My mind started to formulate where we would go and the places to take the kids if the started to get fussy, if they got fussy. Humans confused me sometimes, especially child humans. Their needs are beyond my knowledge or capabilities. Of course, if I though about it, we vampires probably confuse humans with the way we act. I walked back into the apartment, hearing Skye’s now soft voice explaining a problem to Shawn.15

“No…you square that, subtract it by this, divide what you get by 2.137, then root it.”16

“Ooooh…like this?”17

“Exactly.”18

“Okay, I think I got it now…”19

“That’s good! Now, what’s the next question you need help with?”20

It went on like that for an hour or so when she reemerged from the living room, a21

smile on her face.22

“Mission successful.” She said, grinning as she plopped down on my lap,23

hooking one arm around my neck and using the other to wipe her brow dramatically. I smiled up at her, seeing as she was an inch or two taller than me while sitting on my lap, and she smiled back. I couldn’t help but feel this was the way it was supposed to be. Mrs. Kaire thought there was tension forming between us, apparently, because she coughed awkwardly before practically shoving us out of the door.24

As the door shut behind me, I heard Sky giggle softly. I turned to her, not realizing how close our bodies were until they were pressed together.25

Things turned very serious, very, very fast.26

“E…Emmett…” She whispered, staring up at me, a light blush going across the bridge of her nose. I bent down and softly kissed her, mentally groaning at the way she instantly responded, kissing back. She pressed her body closer to mine, standing on her toes, angling her head for a deeper kiss. We stood there like that for a moment, relishing in the electricity that invisibly passed between us. Her knees must’ve given out, because she suddenly put all her weight on me, and I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist, securely keeping her off of the carpeted floor underneath us.27

“Are you okay?” I asked her, pulling her slender body close to mine to ensure she wouldn’t fall. She simply stood there, staring at me wide eyed.28

“A…I….th-that…” She started, before giving up completely.29

“Was amazing?” I offered, snickering softly.30

“Heh….Y-Yeah….” She managed to finally say, nodding her head. I smiled, picking her up and walking down the stair, out the door. 31

“So, now where do we go?” I asked as we stepped outside, standing there until she gave me directions.32

“Just go back home, Shawn is my only Saturday appointment.” She said tiredly, mumbling about how cold my skin was. I sighed, knowing she probably wouldn’t like me after she found out I was a vampire. I took a deep breath, and said something that would, by any standards, be a completely random and stupid thing to ask.33

“If I told you I was a supernatural creature, what would you say?” I asked her as casually as possible. She simply shrugged.34

“I wouldn’t really care.” She said, which made me mad and slightly confused.35

“How could you not care? I could be dangerous.”36

“You don’t know, or could possibly understand, how dangerous I could truly be.” She said, a serious tone in her voice.37

“I could say the same thing about me…” I whispered, not thinking she could hear me until she scoffed.38

“I’ve seen your kind before. They don’t scare me.” She said, and I think I stopped breathing.39

“Who are my kind?” 40

“You know. Big, muscular guys. They don’t scare me; Never have, never will.” I let out a sigh of relief.41

“O-Oh…” I stuttered out. Wait, I stuttered? Since when did I stutter? Skye’s lips spread into a huge grin.42

“Did I make you nervous?” She whispered in my ear, making me shudder slightly. She had no idea. I decided to change the subject.43

“So, if I told you I was some supernatural being, say…vampire, you wouldn’t care? At all?” She tensed slightly before sighing.44

“If I told you I was a supernatural creature, say a demonic oracle from the depths of hell itself, would you care?” 45

She asked me, her voice soft. I paused in mid-step, remembering what Alice had said in the sixties.46

(Le Flashback!)47

Alice stared at me, eyes stern as I laughed softly.48

“I’m being serious, Emmett!” She cried out, trying to get the fact through my thick skull. I gave her an incredulous look.49

“So you’re telling me a demonic will come along in almost thirty years, and when she turns seventeen, I’ll like her?” I said, and even as I did so it sounded ridiculous. I loved Rosalie with every fiber of my undead, yet still incredibly sexy being. There was no way that would change. Ever.50

“I know, it doesn’t make sense to me, either, Emmett…” She murmured.51

(End Flashback)52

“So you plan to walk past the house, Emmett-kun?” She whispered in my ear, making me. I looked back at her, eyes full of confusion.53

“My house is right here, Emmett.” She said softly, and I cleared my throat in54

embarrassment. I’m the most unobservant vampire on the face of the earth sometimes, I55

thought mentally, scolding myself. I walked up the steps, opening the door and setting56

her down.57

Skye’s P.o.V58

The loud music from within made me smile, and the overly loud greeting following my third step made it grow even59

“Come on Skye! We have to get your hair done! They want it big and they want it complicated!” Rai shouted over the music. I sighed, rolling my eyes.60

“Don’t they always?” I muttered, turning to Emmett. “I’ve gotta get ready for my…other job. You should go home, I’ve kept you away from your family for too long already.” I said, and I looked at him, begging for him to go home. He stared at me, nodding his head slightly. I jumped up slightly, my lips connecting for a second with his before gravity pulled me away. I grinned, looking down at my feet shyly.61

“Alice wants to know if we could take everyone to the mall and go shopping.” He said, and my eyes widened.62

“W…Why would she want to take us-” I stopped, realizing that I had never told Alice about my house full of people. “Wait, why does she know that there is an everybody?” I paused, realizing that what I said may have sounded a little bitchy. “How does she know there is and everybody? I said softly, and he looked away for a moment before his gaze turned back at me, his golden eyes so intense it made my knees weak.63

“I told her about you guys,” He said, molten gold eyes burning through me. I bit my lip, my mind going haywire and my body feeling hot, uncomfortable.64

“O…Oh….It’s o….okay.” I managed out, to my surprise, although I almost moaned out the words. “Wh…When does she want to go to the mall?” I asked him, shifting my body closer to his.65

“F…Fine…just go before I seriously molest you…” I murmured, shooing him out the door. He grinned, bending down slightly and lightly kissing me. I returned the kiss just as lightly, and it ended a few moments later. I grinned, biting my lip as I pushed him out the door. “Now GO!” I said, shutting the door. 66

“Aye, Captain!” I heard him as I shut the door, and I chuckled, leaning against the door and closing my eyes, trying to stop the uncontrollable fluttering in my heart, knowing for damn sure that this wasn’t good for my health.67

I walked up the stairs, and into the bathroom. Rai was already there, and pulled me onto a stool as Rinn and Aiden came into the bathroom; hairspray, curling irons, flat iron, crimper, hairpins, brushes, texture creams, and color sprays in hand. I sighed, looking at Aiden.68

“What are we dressing my hair for now?”69

“It’s like punk meets hip hop meets Skye. I think you’ll like it. We have like, four hours, so we can play with it until you like the look.” Rinn said, running her fingers through my hair.70

“Where’s the hot rollers? I have an idea…” I said, grabbing the color sprays and looking at the colors.71

“Blue and purple highlights, screw the sprays. Go and get some highlights from the salon down the street, tell them Skye’s here to cash a favor.” I said, looking at my shiny, yet kinda flat brown hair. “Tell them to give you the best.” I shouted as Aiden walked out of the bathroom.72

“Get the hot rollers out. I’m going to get the make up and the glitter…so tell me, what and I singing tonight?” I asked Rinn, who bit her lip.73

Okay, to explain how my whole ‘club glam crew’ works, Rinn gets a call from my employer telling her what song that I’m singing and the look that he wants, Aiden works on the hair design and Rinn pitches the ideas to me. Rai does my makeup while Rinn and Aiden do my hair. However, sometimes I take control.74

….And sometimes Rinn decides to surprise me.75

“Uh…you’re not singing tonight.” I gave her a funny look. What did she mean , I’m not singing. I always sing! That’s all I did, and all I ever was going to do at that god forsaken place!76

“Then what am I doing?” I asked watching her pull out the outfit. I stared at it, horror struck. She grinned sheepishly. 77

“Oh hayl no. No way. Uh uh, not going to happen. Emmett and his family might be there! I can’t be seen by them wearing that.” I said as Rai came back into the bathroom, rollers in hand.78

“What do you think you’re going to be doing in that outfit?” She saked me, and I bit my lip, shrugging.79

“I dunno maybe waitressing.” I said, though deep down inside I knew that wasn’t the case.80

“You’re dancing tonight, and serving drinks in between routines. Their paying you double. Plus you get to keep all the tips. All they want you to do is dance. She said, plugging in the hot rollers. 81

I sighed shaking my head. This was NOT going to end well. I could just feel it in my bones.82
