Destination Date Ch. 12 on FFn
After both of them took a shower, they set up Edward’s laptop for some phone calls. They started with Emmett, who was in between clients at the gym. FaceTime rang and Emmett grinned as he answered the call. The grin quickly turned to some cackling laughter. “Eddie! You are so … pink! Damn, did you put on sunblock?” Emmett laughed.
“I did, but I’m pasty. You know this. Not everyone can be a naturally bronzed God like you,” Edward deadpanned.
“Even Bella is darker than you,” Emmett snickered.
“I’m feeling the pain, too, Emmett. Not so much on my face, but on my shoulders and boobs,” she smirked. “Topless beaches are popular here. My tits haven’t seen the light of day since, well, ever. But, I don’t have any tan lines.”
Emmett’s eyes bugged out, shocked at her statement. Edward just laughed, kissing Bella’s temple. “You’re imagining my girl naked, aren’t you?”
“Um, uh, well?” Emmett babbled. “She said her tits were out and I was just imagining that.”
“Don’t you have your own girl to ogle?” Edward asked, arching a brow. “How are things with Rose?”
“To be honest, rocky,” Emmett shrugged. “Rose told me that she was pregnant and I’m excited. Very excited! I can’t wait to be a dad, but she’s not too keen about being a mom. Suffice it to say, she wants to terminate the pregnancy while I’m begging her not to. Because of that, I can’t see myself with her. I don’t agree with how she’s handling everything. She’s secretive and dismissive of my feelings.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Bella frowned. “Do you love her?”
“I love the idea of her, but I don’t love how she treats my friends,” Emmett frowned. “I know she gives Edward shit and the way she acted around you that night we went out for our double date was a little suspect, to be honest. Perhaps, I should cut my losses. Besides, she’s in Portland, spending time with her family. Her parents had a big wedding anniversary. The governor of Washington announced that the state was being shut down, as did the governor of Oregon. So, she’s stuck there, while I’m here. We’re all supposed to shelter in place. I can’t believe that everything’s shut down.”
“That’s why we’re calling you,” Edward explained. “It’s shut down here, too. Well, we can’t fly out. We’re stuck in São Paulo for the time being.”
“I’m jealous. You get to be stuck in paradise,” Emmett snorted.
