Chapter Four:
Back home in La Push.
You groaned as you stumbled over the just polished floor. Having wood instead of carpet had its good sides as well as bad ones. You would have to clean it more often as the dirt was more apparant and clearer to notice, but at least cleaning wooden floors was way easier than cleaning a carpet. And here you was, just finished after two and half a hour hard work. Seth out in town by himself - forced by you, by the way - and now it was all in vain. Fuck. That. Fucking. Shit. And why was it in vain? Because you had just poured yourself a nice hot steaming cup of coffee; Something you always did after hard work. And as clumsy as you was you got halfway over the floor when you stumbled over nothing and now your cup was half full as the rest now mared your beautiful dark woodened floor. Even darker was the splotch, wet in the middle. Little did it help that you on the way to get the dishcloth at the sink knocked over the bucket with dirty water, making your own pool in the middle of your floor. Brilliant. Just fucking brilliant. Cursing words that would put every naughty child to shame you pulled out your rack of towels and started to dry the water slash coffee off before the wood would swallow it. You wasn't interested in fungus or the like. Mentally trying to remember where you put your hair dryer you heard the click of the door and just as you thought it couldn't get worse Seth had returned. Not that you wasn't happy to see him. You were always happy to see him. Expecially ever since you both decided to go for it and become a regular pair. Everything had just worked out perfectly from there. You were still surprised whenever you thought it over. It was so strange, you weren't just good together. You were perfect together. That stupid wolf thing about imprinting was so wrong; If it couldn't see the sparks between you. Not just the sparks, you were really like made for each other. With a heavy sigh you scrubbed the floors harder, desperately hoping he wouldn't notice, but as you heard his footsteps come to a halt you knew it were too late. Luckily you had your back to him so you wouldn't have to face him, but you weren't able to stop the urge from trowing the rolling empty bucket at him when his laughter bellowed trough the room. Of course it didn't hit him as he easily dogded it before joining you on the floor, hitting his fist repeately down against the floor, shaking with laughter. Pfft, come one. He was laughing like this was the best joke of the year. Of the century. Funny. Just freaking funny.
"Why is it - laugh - that everytime I leave you alone - laugh - you always mess something up?" Why hadn't you knocked over a few more buckets? The towels didn't go far as you trew them at him. And now you were out of amo. With a growl you pushed yourself off of the ground and slapped him over the head as you passed him. Sitting on the dirty floor had ruined your pants and you went to the bathroom to take them off along with the rest of your clothes. Could as well take a nice long shower, was usual the best cure when you were pissed. You weren't in a hurry as you soaped yourself in and took your time to wash yourself. You wasn't sure how much time it took, but when you stepped out and wrapped yourself in your big white fluffy bath-towel you could smell the mouth watering scent of cooking from your small kitchenette. So Seth had decided to play nice. Well you guessed you could forgive him for now. Thinking about it, he was right. You were so clumsy you always messed one or two things up. It was so unfair. He was so huge but way too graceful. You had noticed when you walked around with him out in the streets or in the park, one moment he was beside you the other moment he was gone and as you went around and looked for him he would scare the hell out of you by taking your hand or speaking from behind you. You seriously had no idea how he did it, but whereever he went it was completely soundless. The steam from the shower filled your bedroom when you opened the door and headed straight for your closet. It was pretty late already so you decided just to pull on your pajama. You picked out a matching pair of bra and panties and a yellow shirt and gray sweat pants for tomorrow and put them aside. Digging deeper in your drawers you grapped a fluffy pair of socks - in the hideous colour of plum-purple, but you loved them - and pulled them on along with your plain white pajama in soft cotton. You expected to see Seth at the counter by the stove, but you blinked when you realized he was in the hallway, talking on the phone. His voice was low and you understood no word, but his words seemed rushed and you detected some worry in them. In order not to disturb him you went to the stove and looked down into the pot with stew. Uhm, it smelled absolutely delicious. It was Seths best dish, he was a pretty decent cook actually - not as good as you, nuh-uh - but he had managed to surprise you a few times. Expecially when he just mixed stuff randomly together like this meat stew. Of course it wasn't just completely randomly picked. You wouldn't let him destroy good food like that unless you knew he knew what he was doing. Grapping the wooden spoon you circled it around in the pot before you took the deckle and put it on top, turning the heat down on one. Now you would leave it to simmer and then in about five minuts it would be ready to eat. You took the pot with rice off the stove as well and seperated the water from the rice. You had no dining table, but you usually ate at the coffee table anyways. Grapping two plates and two forks you placed it at the table and headed back for the cups, but that was when Seth entered the room. His face was pulled in what looked like a torn between a scowl and concern. His brows where almost touching the brigde of his nose and he cursed wordlessly under his breath. You had stopped in track and stood there with two cups, watching him with blinking eyes, not really sure if you should ask what was up. His gaze met yours and immediately his face relaxed, as well as the tension in his shoulders and back. You watched him heave a sigh before he strolled over to trow himself down on the couch, closing his eyes and he inhaled and exhaled a few times.
"Leah called." Really? You hadn't heard the phone ring at all, but you had been engaged in thoughts as the water ran down in cascades over your head, so you shouldn't question it. You didn't respond because you figured if you stayed quiet he would continue on his own accord. Anyways, what would he expect you to say to that? "Mothers health has gotten worse. They had Doctor Errald over for a visit, but not even he could find out what's caused it. He presumed-" Seth snorted at that as he opened his eyes, he looked quite annoyed by now as he flexed his jaw and took another deep breath. "-that she had a normal cold, but she broke down a hour ago, coughing, apparantly she couldn't breathe. Leah is worried and she wants me to come home." You could see the apologizing look in his eyes, he wanted to go home too. Oh no. Not that he wanted to go home, you could understand that perfectly well. You knew how close he was to his mom, expecially after the loss of his father. You felt the worry fill you, even though he was almost 18 loosing his mother too, it was too much in too short a time. With a sharp inhale of your own you plastered a smile on your lips and closed the distance from where you stood over to the table and placed the cups down, before walking around and seating yourself beside him. You didn't move when he wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer as he kissed your cheek. "Poor Sue." You turned to face him. "The earliest train departs at 10AM, if we get up at 8 we can get breakfast before we leave. By foot it takes half a hour to the station. We just have to pack tonight." Your smile widened as his eyes dilated and his mouth parted. You had to fight the urge to push your palm against his jaw and snap it shut. For a while he just stared at you, obviously replaying what you just said in order to get it right. As realization filled him you almost laughed of the huge grin that spread across his face. So it finally dimmed.
"You said we! You're coming with me! . . . Right?" As he added the 'Right' at the end you couldn't help yourself and broke out in soft laughter. Nodding your head you kissed his cheek and you felt his arms flex around you before you found yourself in his lap, his lips on yours as he ravished you with his sweet mouth. You giggled softly against his lips as you felt his hands feel you up, moving over your curves as they had done so many times before. You could almost feel how happy he was. It was radiating off his skin and as he broke the kiss he sighed with obvious contentment. "Thank you so much, Miki." His hand mused trough your hair and you tilted your head in silent question, but he just shook his head, grinning widely at you. "Nevermind. Just thanks." You shrugged then and went to wrap your arms around his neck, once again you let him consume you in a kiss.
You both ate in silence, even the TV was turned off for a chance. Normally you would insist it ran in the background, expecially because when you usually both sat together in the couch you did very little TV watching as all your attention was on each other, so the Television was solemly there for the only purpose of drowning your moa- ehm voices. The walls were a little thin after all. Seth finished before you and you felt a little uncomfortable when you noticed he watched you without even blinking. His face was calm, but many emotions ran trough his eyes, only a few of them recognizeable to you. Love, lust, worry, happiness and even sadness. He was probaly thinking about his mother. When you finally finished you pushed your plate aside and as on cue Seth hauled you into his lap and placed his lips on your throat. You swallowed thickly as you closed your eyes and hummed softly. His hands moved softly against your tighs, his thumbs drawing circles trough the fabric of your cotton pajama. One of your own hands explored his back, mesmorizing every muscle over and over as your other hand waved into his short cut hair. Seth had always had short hair, as far as you remembered, though it was a little longer now than you remembered. You liked it like this, though it was shaggy it suited him just nicely. When he started to nip your skin you gasped and your fingers fisted his hair as both hands stilled. He broke away then and pulled your chin down to face him, he was smiling now.
"It's getting late. We should pack and get some sleep, unless you feel up to some; Humm, you know what I mean." His grin was wide and you rolled your eyes. The libido of that man was unbelievable! But who were you to complain? Seth was the best thing that happened to you since you discovered the perfectness that was cinnamon rolls. God you could eat those non-stop and forever. He raised a single brow as he watched you, waiting for your decision, though he was already pretty sure of the answer. "So, Miki, you think you can handle it?" You shot him a perverted grin before you jumped off his lap and dragged him up and along by his wrist. Pack first, then bed. The dishes could wait til tomorrow, you just had to remember setting your alarm. Closing the room to your bedroom once inside, the door closed with a loud thud and you pushed him down on the bed.
"Why do you ask?"
You couldn't believe it! You had actually overslept! You groaned and cursed yourself to hell and back again as Seth sat on the floor against the wall, watching you as you ran around in panicking circles, hauling this and that and what else you needed. Already two heavy back packs were placed beside him and he knew what you actually searched for was your wallet and house key. Of course it was the most important stuff that had to get lost when you needed it the most. Sometimes he wondered if your luck weren't worser than his. Which would explain why he even had bad luck when around you. It was rubbing off. But then again, life was funnier this way. He dogded a flying remote control as he chuckled and got up, grapping the back packs and moved them into the hallway. You had both nonchalantly over heard the beeping of the alarm clock this morning and hadn't awoken til 8:55AM. Last night you had been too engrossed in each other that you had fallen asleep before packing. This had been doomed to happen, but Seth knew that as long as he could stay positive and leave you to do the frekaing out, then at least one of you could stay cool and he was determined it would work out, no need to stress. He knew better than to tell you though, he was kind of happy with every limp on his body and didn't had the urge to loose any of them because he got you too mad. He smiled when he heard your cry of triumpf as you found the house keys. You had roughly 20 minuts til the train would depart and you already called a cap. But you desperately needed to find your wallet or you couldn't pay the driver. Seth had said he got enough money on him, but you refused. Maybe he was your boyfriend now, but you had your female pride, no matter how stupid it was. You had emptied every drawer located in your appartment still without any luck. With an exasperated sigh you sunk down on the floor and felt like crying. Seth scooped you up into a hug and you were just about to bite his head of when he waved your thick black wallet in front of your nose. Disbelieving you glared at it, before you turned your gaze to him. Your eyes trew daggers at him as they narrowed, silently demanding him to explain just where the hell he had found it and how. With a low chuckle he handed it to you and placed you down on your own two legs, his hand motioning towards the television. Realization filled you and you blushed ten shades of red. Of course. You should have known it was the most obvious place of them all, expecially because first now you remembered placing it there. And why had you placed it there? Because you always stared at your TV and you wanted it to be some place easy to locate. God, could life get more embarrassing?
Huffing you stalked past him and grapped your jacket and handbag, making sure to put the wallet down inside before you managed to misplace it again or forget it. As Seth grapped the bags you got the door and waited til he was out before closing it and locking.
And finally, here you were. The cap drive had been unbelieveable slow and you had more than once treathened the driver that if he didn't speed up you would - the rest is censured for the sake of little kids. - Seth had chuckled non-stop, only adding fuel to you already burning mood. Just in the aproximaty of Five minuts before departure you arrived, trew some money - too much, but whatever - at the driver and hauled Seth trough the station. By the view of the growd you almost fell down on your knees scremaing at God just why he made you suffer like this; But Seth had calmed you with a sweet kiss and told you he'd get the tickets. You waited for him by the train and just in time he was there - scaring the crap out of you as usual - and you boarded the train. You had found a nice two-person seat and made yourself comfortable, taking the spot by the window so you could look out at the scenery. To be honest you hated traveling with train. So much. There was always too many people and so much noise, but having Seth there did definitely make the trip a load time better. Soon enough you drifted off into a light slumber, using Seths shoulder as pillow as he cooed softly in your ear, his hand carressing your leg. You woke what felt like Five minuts after by a long ding and the message trough the train caller that the last station of Forks, Washington was approaching. Seth chuckled at your bewildered face and your messed up hair. You was far too tired to even glare at him or be annoyed. You felt a light nugde on your arm and looked up at him, he was obviously speaking now, but you couldn't make out even half of his words. Your brows furred and you felt like frowning. Another light chuckle came from him and he kissed your forehead.
"You're adoreable when tired, Miki. I was just saying we should get out stuff and wait in the hall. I called Leah from you cell phone by the way, would have asked, but. . ." He shrugged and you blinked, feeling lazy. Rubbing your eyes you stiffled a yawn and got up from your seat, Seth mimicked you and helped you out in the aisle before he grapped your heavy bags and ruffled your hair. You glared at him, but shot him a grin as you walked ahead of him into the aisle. "Will Leah come to pick up us?" You didn't bother to turn and look at him, you knew he was just behind you anywas. And how come you knew that? Because you didn't hear or feel anything, could only be Seth. "Nope. Sorry, she's staying with Mom, she was enrolled to the hospital this morning. But she called Sam for me. I had hoped Jacob had time, but he's at the Cullens with Nessie." He talked like you knew what he actually talked about. You understood why Leah stayed and you knew Sam as well as Jacob, just not that well. But Nessie? Seth had told you a bit about the Cullens, or no he hadn't, but he had mentioned them before, you just never asked for more. Maybe you should, he seemed pretty familiar with them.
"The Cullens?" You finally turned to look at him as you leaned against the wall in the small hallway, there was only two other people beside you and thank god. Seth himself was taking up enough space for three with those back packs. You noticed the stares you got from people around you, not only those standing close by, but from the wagon. Various glances trough the glass doors, mostly girls checking out you handsome boyfriend. You felt a pang of jealousy, but made up for it with closing the space between you as you wrapped your arms around his neck and gave him a long warm kiss on the lips. He smiled at you and nodded his head, he noticed how you glared down the wagon and had to hold back a chuckle. He wasn't stupid, he felt the looks from the girls too, but he was more or less used to it. It was still cute how jealous you got. "Yeah, Doctor Carlisle Cullen and his family. Before you ask; Mother got enrolled to his hospital, Leah said he would personally take care of her. Since the regular doctors have no clue what she's down with, we figures Carlisle have a better chance." His words brought you out of your glaring state and you blinked back up at him. You felt curious but also a bit confused about how he just explained that. Corking a brow you half smirked at him. "You said Regular doctors. So, is this Carlisle Cullen some kind of super-doctor?" He laughed at you and you shook with him as he quaked, bending a bit. "I guess you could say that. When there's a little less people I'll explain it all to you, though I can't tell you exactly what he is, but you're quite a great guesser." He winked with that and you felt yourself blush. So you gathered the Cullens were inhuman too. Sighing to yourself you wondered just how many of the fairy tales you've laughed at for being so unreal was actually true. "If we're lucky they will allow me to take you to meet them." He was looking over your head now and out trough the side door window. It was around midday already, being 1PM almost. You turned from him and rested your back against his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. It had been so long since you had been back in Forks, just as long as it had been since you were in La Push. You knew if you ever went to Forks you'd have to force yourself to go visit in La Push too, but you had really been too much of a coward. You bit your lip as you closed your eyes and just then the train stopped and as you opened your eyes so did the doors open. Seth was faster than you and slid around you easily as he grapped your hand and dragged you with outsite, before the angry mob of passengers had the time or chance to run you over. People could be so scary when in a hurry.
You felt a strange force of nostalgia wash over you as you walked hand in hand down the streets of Forks, away from the station. Seth said Sam would pick them up at a local Café, there was not a chance to find a parking lot at the station at this time of day. Though this was a small town it as always extremely busy at certain times of the day. Seth borrowed your phone again and this time he called Sam directly. On Leahs number, so he had apparantly borrowed the phone from her. Seth said it would take a bit so you should go ahead into the Café and order some breakfast since you hadn't gotten any yet. You felt a little light headed and agreed without much fuss, you stomach was empty and it growled lowly at you. You watched Seth talk with Sam on the phone trough the glass window, a blond haired waitress came to your side. She had mushy green eyes, not the pretty kind and a sort of plum nose. She was also covered in freckles and looked a little out of place in this small yet classy Café. You stopped staring at her and ordered some french toast and orange juice. Make that a lot of french toast. You knew the appetite of your lovely boyfriend well enough. Shortly after the food arrived - you had to praise them, that was fast - Seth joined you as he sat down across, grapping you hand in the progress and kissed the tips of your fingers. You noticed the waitress ogled at him and shunned her away with a hiss.
"Easy now, babe. It's not their fault I'm hard to look away from." You turned your hiss at him instead and grapped a toast-wich, filling your mouth before you could curse at him. He could at least be a little modest about it, yeah okay he was quite the looker, and you was pretty sure - no, you knew - a lot of girls was envious of you already. Just too bad for them, you wouldn't share. Only a single french toast was left as the noisy truck pulled up. It was a black Van kind of truck. You actually liked the look of it pretty much. Seth managed to grap the last toast from under your nose before he got up and headed outsite with your bags. You noticed how cheerfully he greeted the man who just stepped out from the truck and went to pay for your meal. You hurried outsite, but stopped just in the doorway. Sam Uley. He didn't look much different from the last time you saw him, though he was wearing a shirt and shoes for a change. His eyes fell on you and you flinched, but when he smiled you felt the usual blush cover your cheeks whenever a good looking boy would look your way. It was a girl thing, you couldn't help it. But you heard Seths cough and saw him stare at you with a raised brow. Apparantly he liked you ogling at other guys - friends or not - just as much as you liked it when girls ogled at him. Sticking your tounge out at him you walked down the few steps to get to their site and Sam was politely enough to shake your hand before he went to open the side door for you.
"Thank you." You said with a cunning smile, your lips a bit pursed. Quite flattered of the gesture and you saw Seth roll his eyes before he littlerally pushed you inside to haul himself in beside you after trowing the bags in the back of the truck. Sam was already seated at the drivers spot and you noticed just as awestruck he was just as graceful and soundless as Seth. Damn Wolf genes. On the way to La Push only Seth and Sam chatted, and quite lively may I add. You'd think Seth had been away from his home and friends for more than two weeks. You closed your eyes trying to block out their voices and concentrated of the sound of the engine instead, how it growled when Sam would change the gear and how smooth it sounded everytime you rounded a corner. What a great vehicle. You realized you had been nodding off when the sweet sound of the engines musical roar was cut off and the car came to a halt. You blinked feverously a few times and felt a warm hand on your arm, looking up only to meet Seths gaze. "We're here, Miki." You blinked another few times before he dissapeared from before you and left the view from the forest in the background and a few houses to spot. La Push. Finally back. You felt the butterflies flutter rather violently in your belly and feared for a moment they would eat up all your courage, but when you felt a warm hand in your and saw Seths blinding smile, how happy he was, you couldn't push down your own smile, as weak as it might be. He pulled you a bit closer into a loose hug and kissed your temble. Sam said something you didn't quite hear before he grapped your bags and dissapeared into the house closest to you. You looked up to meet Seths gaze and his smile was much kinder as he whispered softly.
"Welcome home."
End of Chapter Four.
