Chapter #3: My whole word shifted…
Derek's POV:
I was dreaming about a girl; I knew I was dreaming, because the girl was so beautiful, that my heart literally stopped. So, she couldn't be real! She had long, black shinny hair, clear russet skin, long toned legs that went on for miles. She had the body of an athlete, but she still looked feminine. Her eyes hid behind long lashes, and I wasn't able to see her face. She reminded me, of one of the girls that I saw on the picture, a month ago. It intrigued me to no end; I wanted to see her face. I knew that I was going to fall in love, the moment I laid my eyes on her, and it scared me. I didn't want that to happen, but I longed for her!
I followed her through the forest that surrounded us, but, she was faster than me; just when I was starting to get closer to her, she disappeared! I started to panic, when I was left alone in the forest. A feeling of emptiness invaded me, I wanted her; I needed her, like I needed air to breath. That's when everything started to shake…
"Sir, sir…" I opened my eyes and saw the flight attendant.
"Sir, we are going to start landing in just a minute" she said with a warm smile on her lips. I think her smile was too warm.
"Ugh, thanks!" I said, the flight attendant looked kind of disappointed. Oh, well, it's not my fault.
I waited for the plane to land, but I still couldn't get rid of the thoughts of the girl from my dreams. I wanted to find her, to see her beautiful face…
After we landed, I passed through the baggage claim. I didn't bring luggage with me, because I sent everything a day ago. I went to find the car agency that was supposed to give me my car back. After I filled all the necessary paperwork they brought me my baby, my white Lamborghini. It was a present from me, after I graduated from Medicine School, back in LA.
Cars were one of the few things that I liked to spend money on, though, I have a lot of money, I don't like to brag and spend it all. Yes, I enjoy spending money traveling, eating and helping other; but, I wasn't a fan of shopping and betting. Those are two things I hated the most; shopping was boring. I still don't get how people can spend so much time shopping in one store. I mean, you get what you need and then go. So, how can they spend so many hours shopping? And betting… well, what can I say? Long story short, my best friend's dad, had to sale their house to the bank, because he didn't have enough money to pay for all his gambling debts.
I was now exiting Seattle; this drive was going to be short, considering that I love to drive fast! I just hoped that there were no police officers out there.
I turned on my radio and moved my head along the beat of "The All-American Rejects". The drive to Forks was fairly short and I haven't seen any one police cruisers! Then, the sirens started to sound. Great, just when I'm was close enough to my destination; the freaking police officer appeared out of nowhere!
I pull over and rolled down my window. An elder man of about 48-50 years old got out of his old cruiser and slowly approached my car…
"Hey, son! You do know why I made you pull over, right?" asked Officer Swan, I could see his badge from where I sat.
"Yes, officer, and I'm sorry! It's just, that my friends were expecting me to arrive earlier and I didn't notice that I was driving so fast." I answered calmly, hoping he would believe me.
"Oh, and who are these friends you are visiting?" he asked amused. Shit, he didn't believe me!
"Um… The Cullens, sir…" I answered. What good would it do? I was still gonna get a ticket.
But recognition flashed his face "Derek, Derek Ateara?" Shit, how did he know who I was?
"Eh, yes, sir, I'm Derek Ateara." I answered. "May I ask, how do you know me, sir?" I asked hesitantly.
He smiled "I'm Edward Cullen's, father-in-all."
"Wait… you're Bella's dad?" I asked surprised. Wow, this sure was a small town! Maybe I won't be getting a ticket after all.
"Yes, the one and only, you must be Quil's cousin. Bella told me yesterday that you would be arriving today. In fact, I was heading over there right now." he said and smiled at me, again.
"So, about that ticket…" I started, but he cut me off.
"Oh, don't worry about it! I would be nervous too to meet the Cullen family for the first time, if you know what I mean…" he winked at me; well, I guess he didn't know I was a mythical creature, too.
"Thanks, sir!" I said.
"Oh, please, call me Charlie. Now that you'll be living in the Cullen's house, we are going to see each other more often, so off with the formalities." he said, turning around.
"Follow me, I'll show you where their house is…"
He walked back to his cruiser and started the engine. If he only knew, that Jake showed me the route with his mind the other day.
I followed him through the path that led to the Cullen's house and parked next to him, near the entrance.
As soon as I parked and got out of the car, a pixie-like girl with spiky black hair came rushing down the stairs and hugged me. I was stunned at first, but hugged her back.
"You must be Derek, and you're late!" she said pouting.
"And I guess you must be Alice. I was on time; it's just that Charlie here, decided that I was driving too fast." I answered smiling, she didn't smell as bad as the vampire I encountered 10 years ago but she didn't smell good either.
"Oh, no wonder Charlie disappeared…"
She must've noticed my confused face, because she immediately said, "Oh sorry, I can't see you wolves in my visions. Though, I've gotten better over the years, I can only see around you now." Well, that explained it!
"Come on, Alice, don't overload the puppy's brain too much, he could get a brain hemorrhage." said who I could only guess was Rosalie.
"Hi, Rosalie! It's nice to meet you too!" I said in a cheery tone.
She just smirked and placed herself closer to Alice, following her, came another vampire. Wow, this people were really beautiful and perfect. They looked like they came out of a movie!
"Hi, I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme." a blond haired vampire said, extending his hand for me to shake. I shook it and turned to Esme, she gave me a welcoming hug.
"We are so happy you are here, Quil's been really excited for your arrival" she said, releasing me from her hold and smiling brightly.
"Thanks for having me, I really appreciate it." I smiled at her, she was really nice. I already felt at home and I have just been here for 5 minutes!
"We are happy that you feel at home." WTF?...
"I'm Edward." Ohh, the mind reader…
"Yes, and this is my wife Bella, and my brothers Emmett and Jasper. It's really nice to finally meet you."
I looked up and saw Edward with his hand on his wife's waist, smiling and a gigantic guy, with curly brown hair beside them. He wasn't as tall as me, but he was muscularly made, just like me. On his side, was a tall blond guy with moon-shaped scars all over his body.
"Hi, it's good to finally meet you all; Quil and Jake have told me a lot about you all." I said.
"Don't be nervous." said Jasper smirking "We are not going to eat you…"
"Oh, is the pup scared of us?" said Emmett smugly.
"Jasper, Emmett, Stop it! Don't make him feel uncomfortable!" Esme said.
"Sorry, mom!" they said in unison.
Suddenly two guys appeared buttoning their cutoff jeans from the woods without wearing a shirt…
"Derek! Cuz! You're finally here!" Quil said excitedly, giving me a manly hug.
"Hey, Quil, long time no see." I said, returning the hug and punching him in the arm.
"Hey, Quil, why are you calling him cuz? Doesn't your only cousin live in LA?" Embry asked confused.
"Oh, Embry, this is Derek. And, yes, he is my cousin from LA. He is moving here with the Cullens, and he is a wolf, too!" Quil said.
"Wow, and why the hell, didn't anybody informed me about this?!" he said annoyed, giving me a hug too.
"Welcome to the pack, Derek!" he said. "It's good to have someone new around! Also, having a new mind around when patrolling is always welcome! I've been patrolling with Leah for a month now and it's really getting me tired! I've even dreamed about shopping for some Gotcci shoes!"
"Gucci, Embry, Gucci shoes!" Alice said in a tone that could kill.
"God, Alice, I'm sorry for being a man!" Embry said smugly.
"And where may ask, is this Leah girl?" I asked.
"She's getting ready. She doesn't know you are coming and we are going to have dinner with Charlie and Sue tonight!"
"Oh, OK, I guess I'll meet her later."
I could already hear Charlie watching some football on the TV inside. I really wanted to take a bath! Maybe this Leah girl, was a cutie and God knows that I've been alone for too long!
"Alice has already arranged a room for you…" Edward said amused by my thoughts "Alice, please show him his room."
"Ok," Alice said happily. "And Embry, Quil, the clothes you are wearing tonight are in Jake's old room. So, go get dress, and No, you can NOT eat shirtless nor in cutoff jeans! And that's final!" she said smugly.
They both huffed and went upstairs, quickly the others followed, leaving Alice and me alone in front of my car. I opened the door to my car and retrieved my backpack. Alice walked me up the stairs, towards the third floor and showed me to my room.
The room was, WOW, there were no words to describe it! There was a king sized bed on the left side of the room, with a navy comforter and hundreds of pillows. The floor was covered in a cream carpet and in front of the bed was a dresser with a LCD 54" TV! There was also, a stereo system, a DVD consoles and an Xbox! This was heaven!
At the end of the room, were two doors and a big desk with a laptop and a printer on it and a lot of books. I walked inside, opening the left door, which led to the giant bathroom. The sink counters, were made of a chocolate colored wood and had everything a man needed. In front of the sink was the toilet and a big shower. At the far corner of the bathroom was a Jacuzzi.
I was awed at the magnificence and splendor of the bathroom. I walked out of the room and opened the second door. It was a large and ample walk-in closet. It had so many clothes and shoes, enough to dress an army! I noticed that my old clothes were no were to be seen. When I stepped out of the closet, I saw that my old stuff already had a place in the room. I turned to Alice and she smiled smugly.
"You're welcome." she said, smiling again, before turning to exit the room. "Dinner is going to be ready at 7 PM. After you take a bath and dress, you can rest for a little bit and then come down. If there's anything you might need, just call me." she said, leaving the room.
"Well, that was awkward." I thought to myself, as I laid for a while on my comfy bed and at the same time I was thinking of the girl that hunted my dreams.
After a few minutes, of just thinking, I got up and arranged the things that were inside my book bag. I went to the bathroom and took my clothes off, putting them on the hamper that was I the bathroom. The water felt cool against my scorching skin, but it felt good. After I finished my bath I dried myself and shaved.
After the bath, I got dressed in black jeans and a in a tight navy shirt that my grandma said it made my blue eyes stand out more... I put on my black Adidas with the navy stripes. I took my iPhone out to call my grandmother. I didn't even bother, to brush my hair; it always got messy after a while, so why bother? Girls call it sex-hair, I don't really see the resemblance, but if they liked it, I didn't mind.
I plopped on the bed and began dialing the familiar numbers, as I waited for someone to answer.
"Hey, grandma, it's me Derek…" I said.
"Oh, my boy! How are you? Why didn't you call earlier? I was worried sick!" she rushed to say, like if I was going to hang up or something.
"Hey, grandma, slow down… I'm good! I couldn't call you earlier, because I was taking a bath. Everything is OK; everyone here is pretty cool and welcoming. Quil is great." I said.
"Oh, that's good. I'm glad that you are happy. Well, go on then! Your grandpa and I are going to have dinner with the neighbors." she said, with a little bit of melancholy, in her voice.
"That's great grandma! I hope that you have fun. Say hello to grandpa and give him a hug from me! Love you, I'll call you tomorrow!" I said.
"Ok, I love you too, honey. Take care!" she said, before hanging up.
Well, at least, they are not staying in the house alone... I mused. My grandpa must be already planning a fishing trip with the neighbors.
I turned around to see the clock that was on the night table. It was 6 PM; I still had an hour to spare. I decided to take a nap.
I woke up from my dream, just before I was able to catch the girl. I looked at the clock on the night table, 6:57 PM. I guess that I should go down now.
I got up from the bed and tried to rearrange my hair. It was a lost cause, so I left it the way it was. I splashed water on my face and applied a little bit of cologne. I didn't know why, but I felt a little giddy.
I opened the door to my room and began to go down the stairs. When I made it downstairs, I saw all the guys watching a football game and joined them. I talked to Emmett and Edward about my Lamborghini. They were impressed that I knew so much about cars. Embry and Quil joined the conversation saying that I should definitely go to the garage some day. I agreed and we continued to watch TV.
At 7:15 PM, Alice told us that the food was ready and to go to the dining room. As we were getting up to go to the dining room, the front door to the Cullen's Mansion slammed opened, revealing a very angry but beautiful girl.
"Alice! What the fuck is wrong with you? You locked my closet and just left this horrible excuse of a dress with these damn heels! You know I had to walk to get here right?!" she yelled.
The girl lifted her face and our eyes met, revealing the most beautiful, brown doe eyes and that's when my whole world shifted…
To be continued…
