When I walked back over to Sam and Paul they were talking about something but I didn't pay attention cause I just realized how muscular Paul is. Holy mother of pearl! Damn, boy had biceps! I wonder what his abs look like then? Then I was snapped out of my little daze when Paul asked, "You ready to head back?"
I shook my head a bit and muttered out, "Um… yeah. Lets go," still a bit dazed. But not enough to miss Sam smirking at us. What's he up to? What does he know? I narrowed my eyes at him and mouthed, "I'm watching you," as I hopped on the back of Paul's bike and hugged his waste as he kick started it with the gas jug on my lap.
Be fore we took off Paul asked me, "You sure you don't want the helmet?"
I just rolled my eyes and said, "Like I said before; I don't need the helmet. I've ridden a motorcycle before,"
He just laughed, "Fine, fine. But when we get in an accident and you get hurt cause you weren't wearing a helmet, I'll be sure to put that in your cause of death report," he said with a playful glint in his eyes but he was also serious.
Damn him. So I took the damned helmet from his hands and said, "Fine. You win," and put the thing on. He just chuckled and sped off while I pouted holding on to him. I didn't notice before but holy shit! He feels like Seth, Sam, Jacob and the others. But with the cold wind whipping by I just held on tighter to his warm frame. What can I say? I get cold. But the ride ended too soon. And I reluctantly let go of his torso and removed the helmet that smelled like the forest. I grabbed the jug and walked to my car after returning the helmet. Paul followed me to the gas cap. I put the jug on the car roof. He stood there while I opened the door and popped it open. He was already putting in the gas when I shut the door.
"So, were you born in La Push?" I asked out of nowhere while he finished the gas.
He smiled at me and tapped the nozzle on the hole, "Yep," he stated popping the 'p', "Lived here since I was born, just my mom and me. Oh and my older sister of course. Dad left when I was in kindergarten. Don't speak to him at all," he looked at me after that to see my reaction.
"I'm sorry," I said with real sympathy.
"It's alright. We got along fine with out him. Mom was planning on divorcing him anyway," he smirked at the last part. That made me giggle. He looked at me, smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Don't you have work?" he asked.
"How did you know that?" I asked.
"Sam told me. He also said that Quil owed you a favor and he didn't have a gas jug cause Claire has it so he has to take your shift if you're late," he finished holding in laugher.
"Yep. He owes me and I'm getting that favor one way or another," I stated defiantly.
"Well your all done here so," he looked like he didn't want to go and I didn't want him to either.
I looked at my phone and sure enough Quil should be working my shift right now, "Well Quil's working my shift now. So um, thanks for the help," I said reluctantly.
As I turned to go to my car he grabbed my wrist and I spun around, "So um," he looked really nervous. It was really cute, "Can I… um… ya know, have your, um… can i have your number?" he asked.
This made me smile, "Sure," I grabbed a pen from my purse, "If I don't answer, it's cause you're an unknown number. Just leave a message and say that it's you," I smiled at him and continued to write my number on his hand with my name.
"What you don't answer for anyone that's not in your address book?" he teased.
"No, I really don't feel like talking to someone who's to dumb to know that they got the wrong number," I stated simply.
He laughed at this. And we said our good byes. Again. When I got in and the engine started immediately. I looked in the rearview mirror to see Paul watching me pull away. I smiled and waved bye to him. He returned both. And I pulled away n a new mission. I have to find Seth.
………………………
I'm almost speeding down the street but who cares? I have to find Seth. NOW! I hop out of my car and run inside. He has the day off. And he's always here. I burst through the door to see grandma, Billy and Jacob pinning a quilt. Kristin took the kids to the beach for the day. She wanted to see it before she started work tomorrow, "Where's Seth?" I demanded.
Jacob perked up when he saw me, "He's at the library. I'll go with you to help find him. It can get pretty big," he suggested with a desperate face.
Grandma saw this and said, "If you didn't want to do this Jacob you could have been doing something else. So go if you want," she shooed him away and we sped toward the library to my gossip buddy.
I stopped at the gas station before I ran out again to fill up. With the tips from yesterday I got a full tank and sped over to the library. We walked through the doors and the library is huge. Two-stories, and old and rustic looking with wood everywhere. We walked to the front desk and sitting there was Mrs. Walker. She was a nice old lady who took a liking to me when I arrived this morning, "Hi Mrs. Walker. Have you seen Seth Clearwater in here?" I asked.
"Oh Katelyn, I didn't expect to see you here anytime again today. But Seth is on the second floor reading area," she pointed to the second floor to our right. That's when I heard familiar giggling and deep laugher. I looked at Jacob and he looked back at me. Then we both made a run for the stairs. I took them two at a time. What is she doing here? What is she doing here? Was all that was going through my head at that moment. When we emerged in the sitting area, there were two couches facing each other, a coffee table between them, and comfy chairs put on each side of both couches facing the table. But I was too busy looking at the two laughing teenagers sitting on the loveseat facing the railing and coffee table.
The boy was Seth. But the girl he was laughing with had almost dirty blonde hair with glasses and wore an A.W.A (Anime Weekend Atlanta) 2010 shirt (a/n: this takes place in the year 2011. So I wont have that shirt on my profile like the rest. Sorry hope this clears that up for any with questions) with a Happy Bunny jacket over it with jeans and high-top converse. She looked just like I remembered, "Hannah!!!" I squealed ignoring the fact that I was in a library (but no one else was there so it didn't really matter).
She looked up from Seth's gaze and to me, "Katelyn?" she asked incredulously and then jumped from her seat and ran over to me, "Katelyn! It is you!" we were holding eat others forearms and jumping up and down quietly squealing, ignoring the two staring natives.
When we finished we still stood there and I asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't arrive till next week?"
"Our parents trust us to stay up here in our houses by ourselves. Well except Brit's parents. They think she'll do something,"
"Like what?" I prodded.
She shrugged, "I don't know. Something," she repeated.
Then it snapped in my mind, "Wait. What do you mean 'our parents'?" I asked seriously confused.
"Mine, Jen's, and Brit's," she said in a duh voice. Well don't I feel smart. Note my sarcasm.
"What the hell?! She's pregnant now?" I knew that voice all to well. I turned to where I thought it came from and none other than Brittany Stone cam into view looking at a book.
"Seriously! It's not even Ricky's! What a whore!" Brady said coming into view. Brittany nodded in agreement. Whoa, wait, what?! Brady? What the hell is he doing here?
I cleared my throat getting Brit's attention, "Oh, hey Kate," she muttered not interested and went back to her book while walking to the couch with Brady. What the hell is going on here? One second I was speaking to the hottest guy I have ever laid eyes on and now my friends are in town talking to my best friends. Wtf?
Okay here comes the headache, "Can someone please tell me what's going on here? Ow," I asked holding my head.
Hannah looked at me and asked, "Need an aspirin?"
I nodded and said, "Yes please," she pulled out here bottle she keeps for cramps and gave me two and a water bottle (she needs it for the aspirin like I do. We can't dry swallow).
"Well," Seth started. Oh boy, this should be good, "So Brady and I were walking around here cause we were bored and didn't have to meet Collin at the beach till a bit. So we decided to come and check out the library. We came up here and we all kind of bumped into each other. That's it really. But we were going to head to the beach cause there meeting a friend there," I looked at Hannah and she mouthed, "Jen," oh okay. I nodded my head understanding.
"Well then I came to dish about a guy I met today whe-"
"Was he hot?" Brit blurted ignoring the fact that I was still talking.
"Yes he is now-"
Seth cut me off this time, "Wait! You came to dish about a guy to ME? Instead of turning to my annoying older sister?" he asked kind of touched.
"Of course I did," i said rubbing his arm, "You're my gossip buddy. Remember?" I said shaking my head slowly. He beamed at this proposition.
He and everyone else got comfy in the chairs and Brit pulled me between her and Hannah, "Spill," Seth commanded. This boy loves him some gossip.
"Well, his name's Paul… we met when my car ran out of gas a couple miles between my grandma's place and town. He has a brand new looking Ducati Monster! And he asked for my number," I left it at that.
They looked at me expectantly and Jacob asked, "Well did you give it to him?" well, looks like Seth isn't the only gossip guy in this town. He he. I have to mess with him. Lets see what he does.
"Maybe. Maybe I just told him to fuck off," I said shrugging and tapping into my inner actress.
Brit got tired of this and asked annoyed, "Did you give it to him, or did you really tell him to fuck off?!"
I turned to her excitedly and nodded repeatedly. She squealed and so did Hannah. I was surprised Brit did, I mean she's never been the squeal or OMG type. But who cares? Jake and Seth both looked at each other having a silent conversation. I didn't care, my friends were here and I have a guy interested in me. How can this get any better? Wait Jen doesn't know yet! Oh my god, we have to find her! I turned to Hannah, "Where's Jen?"
"She's going to meet us at the cliffs for a bit of cliff diving," she stated smiling.
"'Kay. I'm going with you. But I need to borrow a suit," I said.
"You can wear my Hurley one. I don't where it anymore. It doesn't fit," Brit said. And I looked at her flat ass stomach and raised an eyebrow.
"You don't fit it anymore, huh?" I asked skeptic.
"UH, YEAH! Have you seen my flab?" she said poking her flat belly. I had to laugh. Classic Brittany.
"Well then lets all head to the cliffs! I haven't seen them yet," I said and they all cheered quietly and headed out to the cars.
What'd ya think? ask! tell me what you think of Brit and Hannah.
