Chapter 2
(Don't own anything but a girl can dream)
*Had to fix a minor detail I fucked on on sorry everyone lol*
"Up and Adam!"
Bella groans out pulling the sheets over her head.
"If you're going to shower make it fast and we got to go babe."
Bella blinks her eyes open. Alcide hands her a black bag.
"It's got something's you might need."
"You're seriously going through with all this aren't you?"
"Would you like me to help you get showered?"
"UGH!" She swings her hand over to hit him and he catches it and kisses it.
"Go shower you're starting to smell."
"Well at least I'm not the one smelling like a wet dog!"
Alcide grabs her around the waist as she starts to walk away. He pulls her towards him and twirls her around facing him. He starts to say something but decides against it. Instead he simply places his forehead to hers and releases her.
"Hurry up!" He scoffs as he starts to get ready.
Bella slams the door and locks it. She looks around again as in hoping a window appeared overnight. She jumps a there's a knock at the door 10 minutes Bella or I'm coming in and don't bother tapping on the walls asking for help.
"Asshole…" Bella mutters and starts the shower as she looks upon the contents of the bag.
All men stuff men's Dove shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors and a comb.
"Seriously?"
She grabs a few of the items and makes due with what she can. The water runs along her body as Edward enters her mind yet again. She wondered what he would think or do. But then it didn't manner in the end he left her and he wasn't coming back. Making this far worse, she closes her eyes and lets the conditioner run down the tub.
"Ugh I even smell like a man now." She says as she steps out of the shower.
She uses Alcide's comb but finds it hard to get the tangles out. She figures it won't manner since they'll be on a bike all day again. Bella places her clothes back on and unlocks the door. Alcide's already leaning against the wall staring at the bathroom door.
"About time let's go."
"Good morning to you to." She smarts.
He turns just before climbing on his red and black Harley.
"Good morning Bella baby now let's go."
She shakes her head and puts her arms around his waist.
"You look good with your hair all wet you know." He says and starts the bike.
Once they enter Arizona Bella finds herself wishing her mother still lived here, in hopes she could trick Alcide into running into her or something. Alcide pulls over at a rest stop.
"Gotta take a leak." He says and helps her off the bike.
He drags her towards the bathroom area and right into the men's room.
"Alcide!" She hollers and wrinkles her nose from the smell.
"Just real quick." He starts unzipping his pants.
"EW!"
"Then turn your head princess. Unless, you want to look that's fine with me as well."
"Don't be nasty!"
"Then don't be silly."
Bella covers her ears as she hers the sound of his stream.
"You gotta piss too?"
"What in here?"
"Um yeah where else?"
"Ladies room preferably?"
"Nah, this is good. No ones in here."
"Do you get off to this or something?"
"Oh yeah totally." He says shaking his head.
"Just go Bella. I'll watch the door."
"This is so gross!" She says opening a stall.
"It's this or good ole nature sweetheart."
Bella shuts the door and positions herself to where she won't have to sit on the seat.
"Figured we'd grab a bit to eat somewhere in the next town."
"How can you seriously act like there is nothing wrong with all this Alcide?" She says then flushes with the bottom of her shoe. She stumbles back almost falling and the door flies open. Alcide catches her.
"You alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine!" She snaps.
He laughs and lets her go.
"And I've already explained. It's like I said you needed to get away and I think we could rather use each other's company."
"Against my will that is?"
Alcide gently pushes her up against one of the stalls. He leans into her and whispers.
"Are you 100 percent sure this is all against your will Bella Swan?"
Bella's breathing picks up as he caresses her cheek. She says nothing Alcide smiles and takes her hand leading her back towards the bike. They arrive at some sort of bar and grill restaurant. Bella notices all the other bikes and a bit of an uneasy feeling comes over her.
"Alcide?" She says looking around.
"Relax Bella I'd never let anyone hurt you. Just here to eat and get our minds off the road a bit."
Alcide hands her his phone.
"What's this?"
"Call your dad. It's been nearly 48 hours last thing I need is him sending a bunch of fuzz our way."
"Shouldn't you have thought about that before?"
"When it comes to you? Hard to think of anything else baby, I just knew what I wanted and took it."
"Excuse me!"
He snickers.
"Don't even pretend you don't slightly feel the same about me."
"You're such a pig!"
"Wolf…"
"Yeah like maybe the big bad wolf!"
"Then that just make you my red riding hood."
Something about that makes Bella feel a twinge of something she knows is wrong and she shouldn't feel. She swallows hard as Alcide stares upon her.
"What should I say then something along the lines of Dad I'm on highway so and so and need you to send a swat team?"
"Tell him the truth."
"You want me to tell him you took me against my will?"
Alcide sighs.
"Still claiming that aren't we?"
"Tell me Bella do you really want to go back to Forks? In sure hopes of that Edward guy returning and sweeping you off your feet and even if he did would you even feel the same about him now? Or do you want to give what I have to offer a chance? "
"And what would that be exactly?"
"Don't know unless you suck it up and come with me."
Bella swallows and looks to the phone. She watches as Alcide walks away and leans against the building watching her. She realizes this is Alcide giving her the choice now.
She sits upon the bike and begins to dial Charlie's number.
"Hello?"
"Um dad."
"What the hell kid where have you been! You know we were about to send out a search team!"
"Dad relax." She looks towards Alcide.
"I'm ok it's just well. I had to get out of Forks dad. I just couldn't' take it anymore."
"Jesus Bella what the hell are you talking about?"
"It's just ever since he… I mean Edward." She forces herself to say.
"Oh come on Bella I get that you're heartbroken I really do. But they come a dime a dozen. Just come back home give me a chance."
Bella closes her eyes and looks to Alcide once more with the urge to tell her father the truth. To tell him I was taken against my will and I'm in Arizona. But something strong stops her as she looks upon him. She can't explain it.
"Dad I'm sorry but I can't if I do I'd end up just like mom. I can't stand it in Forks. I'm 18 dad. I can do what I want and need. I love you dad but I have to do this."
"That's BULLSHIT BELLA! You might be 18 but you're finishing you're last year of school this year!"
"Dad I'm sorry I've made my decision."
"No Bella tell me where are you I'll come get you I'll take you back to your mother. If you don't want to be with me that's fine but you're still too young. You're…"
"Dad don't please just trust me."
"Then when the hell am I going to see you again and why won't you tell me where you are?"
"Soon dad soon and I'm sorry I can't tell you that I need some time."
"Bella have you been kidnapped?"
Her dad and Bella had a secret word for that and she had forgotten.
She looks upon the massive man against the bar building once more. That strange feeling comes over her as she laughs and says.
"No dad I'm fine promise."
Her father sighs in relief.
"Just promise to call often or I will hunt you down I swear."
"Ok dad I will. I love you."
"I love you too Bella but I'm not going to lie this by far is the stupidest thing you've ever done!"
"I'm sorry you feel that way."
"I'm not giving up on you kiddo." He says just before she hangs up.
Bella leans over the bike with tears in her eyes and feels sick. Alcide walks back over and puts his hand to the back of her head softly.
"I'm fine." She says quickly wiping the tears away.
Alcide swallows the guilt and helps her off the bike.
They get inside and Alcide leads her to a booth, Bella slides in and Alcide slides in beside her. "Get whatever you want Bella baby." He hands her a menu. She glances at the menu and looks up.
"Not only are you being reckless like you promised me you wouldn't be but now you're forgetting about me?"
Her hands shake as she stares upon him. Her hands clasp around the menu hard and she closes her eyes.
"You broke every promise you made me."
"Bella?"
She looks to Alcide then back to the now empty seat across from her. Bella's hands continue to shake. Alcide sighs and orders their drinks. They spend the rest of the time quiet as they eat and drink their orders.
"I got to hit the bathroom one more time. Will you be here when I get back?"
Bella nods but doesn't look at him.
"OK then." He says and heads that way.
Bella sips at her drink and picks at her food.
"That was fast." She says as someone slides in next to her.
"Nah, baby I can go all night."
Bella turns to see a man that is indeed not Alcide. He's clearly drunk and just as big as Alcide. She wondered if he was a wolf as well.
"So what's a pretty thing like you doing sitting here all alone?"
He runs his hand along her shoulder.
"SHE'S MINE AND NO ONE TOUCHES HER!" Alcide yells and yanks the man from the booth.
Bella's eyes widen and she scoots back.
"Easy mate just having a bit of fun."
"You'll have plenty of fun with my foot up your ass!"
Alcide looks to Bella and offers her a hand. Bella takes it as he helps her out of the booth.
"Are you ok?"
She nods.
"Did he hurt you or say anything he shouldn't?"
She shakes her head. Alcide grabs the man by the collar.
"Apologize!"
"Alcide please its ok. He didn't hurt me."
"See the little lady says so herself. "
Alcide wrinkles his nose and shoves the man down.
"Let's go." He takes her arm and leads her out.
Bella stops as he still tries to drag her towards the bike.
"What did you mean I'm yours?"
"It's just as I said. You're mine."
"You're unbelievable!"
"You really going to start this again?"
"Whatever makes you believe I am yours?"
He smiles and hops on the bike.
"Get on Bella baby."
"Maybe I should go back home."
"You won't we both know that. So quit your jabbering and get on!"
Bella sighs and hops on but punches him in the kidneys.
"Don't be a dick."
He laughs.
"Hold on, I want to make it out of Arizona before we get another hotel."
Alcide slows down realizing Bella's fallen asleep against him as her arms drop. He pulls over.
"Wake up Bella. You got to hold on or you'll fly right off."
Bella rubs her head against his back. He shakes his head but smiles and gently rises up.
"Hey baby come on just one more mile to the hotel." He lifts her off the bike.
Bella's eyes open and she finds herself against his chest.
"You awake now?" He cups her chin.
Bella nods tiredly.
"We're almost there ok now hold on. I don't want you flying off."
Alcide gets back on and once again Bella wraps her arms around him. He focuses on getting to the hotel before she falls asleep again. To be safe he drives a bit slower. They arrive at a Holiday Inn and he lifts her off the bike she's too exhausted to even get off the bike herself. Alcide carries her into the office to get the keys and then back to the hotel.
Immediately he lays her down and takes off her shoes. He tucks her in and locks up the hotel before he leaves. He looks through the gift shop trying to find Bella something she can wear and some of her own bathroom supplies. There's not much to work with but it'll have to do.
He enters the hotel room again and rushes to Bella's side as she's screaming in her sleep.
"Hey." He shakes her awake.
She shoots up wide eyed.
"Man that must've been some nightmare."
Bella bites her lower lip but then looks to the bag beside Alcide.
"What's that?"
"I got you some stuff."
He hands it to her as she tiredly looks through it.
"Toothpaste, toothbrush, brush, razors, deodorant, floss, I love New Mexico? Shirt, sweatpants?! Tampons? What the hell Alcide."
"What?"
"I don't wear sweatpants well not in public and you actually bought me tampons?"
"You're welcome?"
"And what the hell is this?"
He shrugs as she throws the roll of condoms at him.
"That's not going to happen."
"Who said those were for you?"
She rolls her eyes and lays back down.
"Thank you Alcide you big sweetheart."
"Thanks now fuck off."
"Wow you got a bit of a dark side to you don't you?"
She shrugs and passes back out.
"UGH!"
Alcide stirs awake to Bella pacing the hotel room in just a towel.
"What's with you?" He says admiring the look.
She grabs the box of tampons.
"How did you know?! It's my body!" She hisses.
"It's a wolf thing and once again you're welcome."
She slams the door and he dies laughing.
She comes back out in her sweatpants and I love New Mexico T-shirt giving him a go to hell look. "You look cute in your pink shirt and gray sweats."
"Shut up!" She says behind laughter.
"We'll get you some better clothes later Bella I didn't have much to choose from."
She turns to Alcide apologetically.
"Thank you for the stuff."
"Oh so now you're appreciative?"
"I was before to be honest but the sweatpants, tampons and condoms threw me off."
"Yeah looks like we'll be waiting on those huh."
She shakes her head and throws a pillow at him.
"But thank you for the tampons truth is I don't know many guys that would do that."
"Just part of life the way I see it."
"Maybe there's hope for you yet Mr. Herveaux."
"Think so?" Alcide picks up the condoms.
"You know we might could still… We have a shower…"
"Alcide!"
He sniffs the air and yanks her in the bed beside him.
"Damn…" He mutters.
"What?"
He closes his eyes as if shaking something off.
"You smell so good."
Bella slaps him as he starts humping her.
"Ok I take it back there is no hope for you!"
He growls out pulling the sheets over him.
"Can't help it. I could sense you were about to start yesterday and it's been torturous cause now I can smell it."
"Ew Alcide!"
"It's a wolf thing. You're in heat it's arousing."
"I'm in heat?" She laughs.
He nods and gets out of bed.
"OMG!" Bella covers her eyes and he snickers as he stretches.
"I warned you. Perhaps I better run me a cold shower."
"You think?"
"Don't pretend you didn't like what you saw."
Bella lays down and places a pillow over her head.
After a few moments Alcide comes out in nothing but a towel. Water still dripping from his hair and chest, he lifts the pillow off Bella's face.
"Trying to suffocate yourself?"
Bella shoots up and looks at Alcide. She let out a gasping sound. He raises a brow.
"Something wrong?"
She shakes her head but continues to stare. He heads back to the bathroom and dresses. He comes back out in nothing but a pair of I love New Mexico boxers. Bella laughs and he shrugs.
"Like I said not much to choose from."
"So how old are you anyway?"
He asks as he his shirt on.
"It just occurred to you to ask?"
He shrugs.
"15."
"WHAT?" Alcide looks wide eyed suddenly.
"No fucking way you don't even look 15 you can't be 15!"
Bella laughs at his reaction.
"Relax I'm 18."
"Thank God 15 could have proved to be a problem and from something I can't take back."
"Can't take what back? "
"You'll find out soon enough. Hopefully…"
She looks upon him oddly.
"So how old are you like 40?"
Alcide chuckles.
"Not even close. I'm 21."
"Hmmm."
"What?"
She shrugs.
"We already discussed this now that I remember..."
"Oh yeah, drinking will get yah everytime." He laughs.
"Obviously."
"Let's go get some pancakes or something before we hit the road."
Alcide places a stack of pancakes and bacon in front of her and sits down.
"Thank you." She says catching him off guard.
"Um you're welcome."
He clears his throat and sips his coffee.
"So what's the deal you still in school or just graduated last year?"
"I've one more year of school."
Alcide slouches in his seat and looks to be in thought.
"What?"
"Looks as though once the summer is over which won't be long I'll have to enroll you in school, probably in Bon Temps."
"Um what?"
"Well you have to finish school."
Bella slams her fork down.
"You presume I'll still be here once school starts?!"
"Well of course that's how this works."
"How what works why won't you tell me what's going on?!"
"All within time Bella baby eat your food."
"You're insane if you think I'll be staying with you that long!"
"We'll see." He winks and takes a bit of his pancakes.
