RECAP:
Edward flung Lacey onto his back and headed for home. They finally got to the Cullen House. No one was around to see if they were okay. Edward pulled Lacey into a full embrace and kissed her passionately.
"Lacey?" Edward let go as Jacob walked up to the house baffled by the scene that was playing out in front of his eyes
Chapter 4:
"It's not what it looks like." She ran to the befuddled Jacob. His eyes welled with tears and he pushed her away.
"Don't you EVER touch her again!" He turned yelling at Edward. He took lacey by the hand and ran toward the car. "What were you thinking?!" He yelled.
Lacey looked back at the porch, Edward stood there with a smirk placed on his nefarious lips. She kept her eyes on Edward and turned the rest of her face to Jacob. "I wasn't thinking. It just happened. He probably heard your thoughts and wanted to piss you off. I'm sure it's nothing."
Jacob started the car and back out with rage still in his eyes. "Where were you guys?" He looked at her. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" He yelled and his body began to shake.
They reached the road as Lacey took his hand and pressed it against her heart. "You have my heart, Jacob. I love you." He breathed deeply.
"You smell like them. It's all over your body."
"I was one of them for a few days."
"Oh, that could be why."
They both laughed and headed back to La Push. The ride was full of laughter and singing. The music on the radio pumped from the speakers and things seemed to return to the way they were.
"I'm going to go and shower to get this stench off of me. After that, do you want to go out?" He pulled her in tightly and kissed her. "I take that as a Yes."
While she was in the shower she sang the song from the wedding. She stopped mid song as she heard a pinging sound at her window. She wrapped herself into a towel and opened the window.
"Lacey!" It was Edward. Her eyes widened and she poked her head out of the window. "Can I come up?"
"Are you nuts? NO!" She closed the window. The pinging sound continued again. The window flung open and Lacey poked her head out again. "What do you want?"
"I'm sorry."
"You should be. You knew he was there, didn't you?"
He smirked and nodded. She huffed and closed the window. She got back into the shower and sang a different tune. Edward, if you are reading my thoughts, GO HOME!
After she got out of the shower, she walked into the hallway and saw the pack sitting in the living room. "Why is everyone here?" She asked tightening the towel around her. Emily came to her and spun her around facing Lacey in the direction of her room.
She took the hint and quickly got dressed. She was trying to think of why they all were sitting there. Maybe they found out. Perhaps they were just there to see if she was okay.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped out into the hall once more and headed into the living room. Sam came over to her and put his arm around her shoulder. "We found you a house! Your father agreed to pay for it as long as you went to school."
It dawned on her that she hasn't started school since she's been away from her house. "Don't worry," Emily came from the kitchen, "Your father agreed to say you've been home schooled up until now." They ate the cookies Emily made and headed off to the house.
It was a tiny little house near the cliffs. The house reminded Lacey of the one she lived in with her father. The backyard was bordered by forest and the front porch looked out to the water. The landlord left the keys in the mailbox. Sam took them and unlocked the door. Everyone filed into the dark room.
The light flickered on and the smell of the ocean air rushed it. They looked around the old house and saw that it was in desperate need of work. Their stay was quick. They left and everyone hopped into cars to head out to the sylvan house where Lacey once lived.
Her father stood outside awaiting everyone. They were able to move everything in one trip. Lacey kissed her father good-bye and told him to visit whenever he could. Jacob and Lacey hopped into the rabbit and headed off.
Jacob stopped on the side of the road. "Can we talk?" Lacey nodded. "What happened when you were with Edward? Like, where were you guys coming from?"
Lacey grinned remembering the night they spent together. "We were on our way to Seattle. I didn't want to be stuck in the Cullen house. On our way there it started to rain. It was pretty heavy and the car spun out. Luckily we stopped before getting in a serious accident but something in the car broke during the accident.
"Since the venom wore off quicker than expected, when I hit my head I started to bleed." She took a deep breath. "He didn't want to move me so we just stayed till the rain settled and he ran back here with me on his back. The kiss was out of nowhere. Just to get a rise out of you, I think."
Jacob reached over to Lacey. He pulled her in for a kiss and kissed her neck. Lacey quickly pulled back and held his hands away from her body. "What's wrong?" They hadn't done anything since they have been dating and Lacey had the vivid memories of Edward still in her mind.
She sank into her seat as Jacob put the car in drive. They reached the house and unloaded the rabbit (Jacob's little car that he was so proud of).
Her room was cozy. She settled in and changed into her pajamas. Jacob walked from the kitchen and brought her something to eat. "I'm sorry about what happened in the car. It's just that I'm not use to it." Lacey apologized grabbing the sandwich off the plate.
He sat at the edge of the bed and put his hands in his lap. "Lace, it's okay. I won't hold it against you." He laughed. Lacey approached Jacob slowly and kissed him. She put her hand on his shoulder and pushed him back as she placed her knee in between his legs.
His arms traveled from Lacey's upper back down until her ass. He pushed her on top of him. He sat up holding her close to him. She was kneeling on his legs. "I should be going. My dad expects me to be home tonight. I'm so sorry." He kissed her goodnight.
She walked him to the door then went back to her room. She sat at the foot of her bed looking at the old shag carpet. Why wouldn't he take advantage of this? Is it because he still loves Bella? I wish Edward were here. He wouldn't "be in a rush to get home", She thought.
