Sorry. I know it way late. School has been hectic and I am trying to play catch-up right now.
Chapter 2: Errands, Exploring, Half-Naked Men?
**Nicole POV**
This morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes and coffee. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash my
face and brush my teeth. I grab my cherry red silk robe, put it on, and went downstairs. Oh, maybe I should've
mention that I am hard-of-hearing and that I wear hearing aids because I was surprised when I saw all of these
half-naked men sitting at the table eating, laughing, and chatting like they been here their whole life. I felt my
face get heated and I hurry up and close and tied my robe. I hoped and pray silently that these men didn't see
my pajamas. Because I didn't have my hearing aids on, I didn't hear the guys greeting me and telling me their
names. They must've asked me a question because they were staring at me like I was deaf. Well, hello, I am. I
completely ignored them, walked up to my aunt and tapped her on the shoulders. I think I scared her because
she jumped and put her hand over her heart as if her heart was beating fast. I smile at her and then sign to her.
Who are these people?
These men are friends of mine and good morning to you.
Good morning to you, too. Where are they from and why are they half-naked?
They're from the La Push reservation. Why don't you ask them yourself, Red? You're not mute, so open your damn mouth and ask them.
I'm sure she forgot that I not wearing my hearing aids and I cannot read all of their lips at the same time. And La Push? What the hell? Who named their community La Push? You know what, don't answer that question. I'm pretty sure there is some weird community or street or state names.
You know how I am around strangers, Aunt Linda. Besides, I thought it was gonna be you and me. Not you, me, and them.
I know. They surprise me this morning.
Well, I don't want to talk to them yet. So, I will tale my plate and go upstairs to my room. Is that okay?
Yeah. That okay.
Aunt Linda turned her head back to the half-naked men, I guess to answer somebodies questions. I wasn't done talking to her, so I waved my hands to get her attention again.
I wasn't finish talking. What I meant is that I thought that we would have a couple of days to ourselves, catching up and stuff. I didn't want to meet anybody just yet. I wanted to explore forks, see what they have to offer and go up to Seattle to register for my classes before you started too tried and get me to meet new people.
I know what you meant and we will. You don't have to introduce yourself now but you can't take long. I can only hold them off for so long.
Thanks. You're the best.
I kissed my aunt on the cheek, grabbed my plate and went back upstairs. After I ate, I was my face, brush my
teeth, and took a shower. Here I am, standing at my closet with a towel wrapped around my body and on my
head. I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear today. I looked at the clock and it says 12:30pm. I need to
hurry up. I have an appointment with one of the counselor at two o'clock and if I wanted to make it on time, I
have to leave like now. I should've done it now, but didn't. I grab my black t-shirt with purple logo on it, that says
"I don't chase Boys, Boys chase Me.", my black skinny jeans, that hugs my curves and ass, and my purple Uggs
boots. I lay the clothes on the bed and went to my dresser and pulled out a purple lacy bra and boy shorts. I put
on my undergarment, then some Johnson & Johnson lavender baby lotions on my body and put on my clothes. I
put on my black footie socks and my Ugg boots. I towel-dry my hair, curls it, put it in a side ponytail, and then
straighten out my side bang. I put on a little bit of makeup. I just put some mascara on my eyelashes, and some
lip-gloss. I didn't like to wear makeup, but chose to put some on today. My mom didn't wear makeup, so why
should I? I grab my sweater jacket and the plate and went downstairs to the kitchen to put in the sink. I put my
sweater on and went into the living room to go ass my aunt if I could use her truck. I was already running late for
my appointment, but glad that they moved my appointment to another time. As I walked into the living room,
everyone stop talking and stared at me. Again, I ignored the guys and sign to my aunt if I can borrow the truck. I
grab the keys and my purse off the table by the door, yelled bye, and left the house. I got in the truck, started the
car and follow the directions on the GPS system that is on my phone. I made it to Seattle with fifteen minutes to
spare. I park and turn the car off, grab my purse, important papers, keys, and ran to the registration office.
~Later~
When I came home, my aunt was not there. I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen to see what I can find to eat.
Before I opened the refrigerator door, I saw a note posted on the freezer door address to me. I read it and saw
that my aunt invited me to La Push reservation for a get-together party. Forgetting about eating, I went upstairs
to change into my black and purple two piece swimsuit and a pair of short. I grab my swimming bag and pack my
beach towel and a change of clothes into the bag. I put the bag on my shoulder. I slip on my flip-flops, went
downstairs, grab my purse and keys, locked the door, and got into the truck. I put in the address that my aunt left
on the note and followed the directions to the place. Twenty five minutes later, it would've been fifteen minutes if I
didn't miss the turn off; I parked the truck in a parking space. There were a lot of people at the beach. I got out
the car and smelt the delicious food that was cooking on the grills. I looked around to see who was here and saw
that there were children playing in the sand, elders' playing cards and talking, and young people dancing and
talking with their friends/spouses. The d-jay was playing older songs, which I assume were for the elders. I didn't
like the old songs. I started walking and looking for my aunt at the same time. I took the rubber-band out of my
hair and shook my hair out. I put the rubber-band on my wrist and took out my purple ray-bans sunglasses. I
spotted my aunt and yelled to get her attention. When she saw me, she waves me over to where she was
standing with some girls who were probably around my age. I walked over and greeted her and the girls. My aunt
introduce to me to the girls.
"Nicole, these young ladies here are Emily Young, Kim Davidson, Leah Black, and Bella Lahote. Ladies, this is my niece."
"Hi", we all said at the same time.
My aunt had excuse herself to go talk to the older generation of La Push. The girls went back to talking about
whatever it was they were talking about while I looked around. I saw all the guys from earlier looking over
towards where I was when I looked at them. I blush and I looked away. I can't deny that all of them are hot and
handsome but I didn't come here to meet boys. I came here because I missed my aunt and I needed to get away
from Chicago. I can make friends but I don't need a boyfriend. I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts that I
was having and turned my attention to the girls.
"So, Nicole how old is you?" asked Emily
"I'm twenty years old. And you guys?" I asked.
"Well, I'm twenty. Kim's twenty-one, Leah is twenty-two, and Bella is twenty-three", Emily told me.
"Oh.", I said. "What is there to do around here?" I asked.
"Not much, except to go to the beach." Bella Said.
"Unless you go to Seattle and I'm pretty sure there is a lot to do up there." Leah added.
"Yes, there is. I was just up there earlier today. I was registering for my classes." I said. "Well after I was done doing what I had to do, I walked around Seattle."
I push my glasses on top of my head to get a good look at the girls. They are very pretty and hot. Emily had on a
matching red, white, and blue bikini swimsuit, Leah's were all red, Kim's were white with pink flowers on it, and
Bella's were an animal print. If I was a guy, I would be all over them, that how hot they are. I felt something on
my back, so I turned around and saw one of the guys from earlier looking at me. The look that he was giving me
made my body shiver from head to toes. His gazing was making me blush and hot all over. I didn't like the feeling I
felt so I turned back to the girls. I asked them who those guys were and they told me. I found out that the guy
who keeps looking at me was Sam Levi. He is twenty-four years old, single, and work and owns his own
construction company. Sam also lives alone and owns his house. Paul Lahote is twenty-three years old and
married to Bella. He also worked for Sam. Jacob Black is twenty-two years old, married to Leah, and owns his own
auto car service company. That when you need your car or truck fix if something breaks and need fixing. Seth
ClearWater is twenty-one years old, works for Jacob, who is also his brother-in-law. And he and Kim are together.
They both are looking for a place to live. Quil Ateara is twenty years old, work part-time for both Sam and Jacob,
and is living with Emily. In return, I told the girls a little bit about me. I told them why I moved here and how I like
it so far and why I'm wearing hearing aids.
"So, can you sign?" Kim asked me.
"Yeah, I can. I started learning it after I found out about my hearing loss. It really strange that my family's history doesn't show that people before me doesn't have a hearing loss. Not even on my dad side of the family either. But I'm grateful and glad because my family were there for me and also learned to sign with me" I told them.
I didn't really want to talk about it. It was hot outside and I told the girls that I was getting in the water. They
agreed with me and decided to come with me. While we were walking to find a spot to lay our towels on, Kim was
telling me about the bonfire that they were going to have after the elders, and the kids went home. She asked
me if I were going to stay but I wasn't sure because it was a tradition for them and I didn't think it was right to go
but they convince me. I told them that I would think about it and let them know later. We found a spot and Leah
and Emily each pulled out a blanket to lay down on the sand. It was big enough for all of us to lie down on. We all
put our bags on top of the blanket. The girls waited for me to put my hearing aids in my bag so that I don't lose
them. We all ran into the water, which was cold at first, and went under the water. I stayed under the water for a
little bit longer and swam back and forth. When I came back up for air, I noticed that the girls were playing with
the guys. I decided to stay where I was and continued to swim. I looked over to the girls and noticed that Sam
was coming towards me. He smiled at me and I smiled back and then duck under the water because I was shy. I
quickly came back up for air and noticed that Sam was closing in on me. He was coming and I didn't want to talk
or see what he wanted. I just didn't want to know. I took a deep breath and dove under the water and started
swimming back to the beach. When I got to the part where I couldn't swim anymore, I got up and wiped my hair
out of my face. I turn around to see if Sam was still following me and sure enough he was. I noticed that the girls
were gone. I turned back around and hurry back to the blanket and got my beach towel. I dried myself off and
made sure that I got the water out of my ears before I put my hearing aids back on. All the noise came back to my
ears and I started packing my things into the bag. It was getting chilling outside and I wanted to change. I saw
my aunt and asked her if there were some place I can change my clothes. She pointed to a house about ten or
fifteen feet from me. She asked for the keys to her truck and I gave those to her. I started walking to the house.
As I got closer, I could hear laughter from inside the house. I knocked and Leah came to the door. She let me in
and shows me to the bathroom. Before she left, I asked her who house this was and she told me that it was my
aunt. She said that this was a beach house and that my aunt had this built by the guys because she hated
spending the night over others people house. So whenever my aunt was in La Push, she came to the beach
house. I thanks Leah and went inside the bathroom. I took a quick shower, lotion up and put on my matching bra
and boy-short, black jean shorts, and a t-shirt. I put on my shoes and my dad's Chicago Bears sweatshirt. It still
smelled like him after all these years. I didn't bother with my hair except to brush it so it didn't get too curly. I
packed my stuff and clean up behind me and left the bathroom. I followed the voices to the kitchen. As I was
walking to the kitchen, I got a text from my mom. I text her back, letting her know that I was fine.
I'm going to stop right here. This is about 10 pages long and I'm not even done with the other half. Sorry to have kept you guys waiting for this story. I have been so busy.
Sincerely,
Kinda Late
