Chapter Two
We walked off, with Alexis in front. I started talking with this really cute guy. I saw Christian stumble back in my peripheral vision. Too late I realized that he was going to hit me. I stumbled back into Xavier, who fell into the passenger behind him, which created a chain reaction. One by one, the passengers went down like dominos. I sat on the floor glaring at Christian, while Alexis was yelling "Again!" He came over and threw me over his shoulder. Christian pushed Alexis out the plane and down the stairs. Inside the plane people were shouting angrily.
"Wait! We were just getting to know each other. Call me! My number is –" Christian's hand slapped over my mouth before I could say anything else. Alexis giggled then shivered. Both her and I were wearing mini shorts and tight-fitting singlets – clothes easy to run around in.
Alexis clung to Christian's arm and I smirked. "Mmhm mmhm mmmhhm," I said trying to talk. Christian removed his hand so I could.
"Can I get down now?" I asked.
"Will you make a scene?" he asked.
"No," I answered.
"Fine." He put me down and I walked in front of them, and then froze. Alexis rushed to my side.
"What?" she asked worriedly.
"It's cold," I answered. She sighed, slapping her hand to her forehead. Alexis turned around and starting searching around frantically. I spun around and instantly knew why – Christian was gone.
"Crap!" I thought.
"They've got him!" she shrieked, being all dramatic. A few people glanced at us. Alexis jumped and I looked to see Christian standing there with two thick-padded jackets in his hands. One was black, the other was white. Alexis quickly snatched the black one before I could and put it on. Grumbling, I took the white jacket and shrugged it on. The jacket was warm and soft against my skin.
"Come on," Christian said, walking towards the airport. I looked at Alexis and shrugged. We walked behind him until we were inside.
"Let's check out the shops Allie," I sent to Alexis.
"Hell yeah!" she responded. We swerved to the right, where this cute little boutique was selling winter clothing. We had just entered when a hand grabbed me. I was about to scream when the hand covered my mouth.
"Don't ever walk off again," a voice said.
"Christian!" Alexis exclaimed. I sagged against him in relief.
He grabbed a handful of mine and Alexis's jacket and dragged us far away from the store. He finally let us go when we were in front of a yellow cab. Alexis climbed in first, followed by me and then Christian. "La Push reservation please," he said politely.
"He's so adorable," Alexis sent to me.
"I suppose. But I'm not into him. He's all yours," I answered.
We rode in silence, though I could tell Alexis was bursting with questions – the same as me, but we kept in control…. barely. I had a feeling that Christian knew he had questions because he had a hint of a smirk.
