Sorry I haven't posted in soo long! Friday was my last day of school so I will definitely be posting more often, I promise. I wanted to apologize because the story is going to be kind of bland until Seth meets her so sorry about that and just hang in there. She will be worth it.
Chapter 4: Still No Imprint
Seth's POV
I am on high alert when I wake up because I hear the shower in the bathroom on. I silently curse myself for getting so drunk last night. This shouldn't have happened. I didn't even know who this girl was; oh God please let it be a girl in that shower. Owww, I can't think this hard right now my brain fucking hurts. I get up and franticly check all the drawers and cabinets for Advil, Tylenol, ibuprofen, anything! I silently curse myself again when I remember where I put all my medicine….
It's in the bathroom. Great.
I was pacing back and forth in front of the bathroom door, contemplating if I should go in or not. The headache will go away soon because of my wolf self but eventually someone will come out of that bathroom and I will just have to face them then so why was I being such a pussy? It's not like I haven't had sex before, it didn't mean anything, I guess I was just getting good so that when the time came, it would be good enough for her. Maybe the person in the shower is her. Maybe she is the one I've been waiting for the whole time and I was too oblivious to realize it until I was highly intoxicated. I might as well go in and see. I stop pacing and open the door with newfound confidence.
When I opened the door the room was completely filled with steam because of the shower that was on. I could see the person in the shower now, I can confirm that she is definitely a girl.
Phew.
She was humming to the song, I Don't Care by Icona Pop, and I felt bad for ease dropping because she had no idea that she wasn't alone in the bathroom so I cleared my throat awkwardly. I heard a commotion in the shower, I'm guessing she got scared and dropped the soap or something. Now I really felt bad.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you, sorry." I say kind of just talking to the wall because I can't see her face. She opened the door slowly and said,
"It's okay, why don't you come in? We can finish where we started off last night." Shit, what did we do last night? Maybe we didn't have sex then.
"Yeah, about last night. Ugh, I was like really drunk and-"
"You don't remember do you?" She interrupted. At this point her and I are face to face, she's naked standing in the shower and looking at me with the door open. I have to say; she is a beauty but just not for me. She had blonde hair, blue eyes and her body was too skinny-not my type. I don't know what to say so I just put my head down.
"It's okay, I kind of figured that because when we tried to, uhm you know, you kept going on and on about imprinting or something like that. You wouldn't shut up so I just fell asleep after awhile. Nothing happened, I swear." She said kind of disappointed. So we didn't have sex, that's a relief. I felt really bad though because she seemed like a nice girl, I hope I didn't make her feel too bad.
"Oh, haah yeah sorry about that, I was kind of having a rough day so I told the bartender to keep sending me drinks and the next thing I know, I'm in bed and your in my shower. I'm really sorry again." I say sincerely.
"You're so sweet. It's really fine, if you don't mind I just want to finish my shower and then I will leave." She said and closed the shower door again.
"Oh no, take your time. I'm actually leaving now. I'm going to check out and then I have a flight to catch so take as long as you want."
"Oh, where are you going?" She asks curiously.
"I'm not sure yet, I'm planning on traveling around the whole country and this was just my first stop so I guess I will find out soon."
"Oh well, good luck."
"Thanks." I say and leave the bathroom shutting the door behind me. I guess I will just brush my teeth later. I am not going in there again. I quickly grab all my things, I didn't really unpack so I just grab my bags and throw on a shirt and shirts before bolting out the door. I know this sounds bad, like a "one night stand" but I didn't even sleep with her! I check out but give… ugh…uhmm, crap. I don't even know her name. Let's call her shower-girl for all intensive purposes. I check out but give shower-girl enough to finish her shower and get out of there. I get in my R8 and speed out not even knowing where I'm headed. I guess I should figure out which city I'm going to next because I'm done with L.A. I've only been her for like 48 hours but I already hate it. I think I should stick with the highly populated cities and just skip over the small ones so my next stop should be Chicago I guess. I call the airport from my car phone and book the next flight, which is at 1:00 this afternoon. It's only 10 am so I have some time.
After I return my beloved R8 to the car rental place at the airport and get on a shuttle to take me to my terminal I realize something, I am such a fucking snob. I have to sit next to an old man on the bus and he smells like old cheese. All I could think about was how they should have first class seats on buses. Who am I? Before the Cullens really started helping me out I wouldn't even be able to afford getting on the shuttle bus. The Cullens are the reason I have this life, and I can travel around the country, possibly around the world, to find my true love. Without them I would be alone forever. Wow, I'm going to have to tell them all how much I love them and thank them when I get back.
The shuttle arrives at my terminal and I thank God because I think the nasty cheese smell was seeping into my brain because I felt like I was going to pass out. I hope I don't smell like old cheese now. I'm going to have to burn these clothes when I get to Chicago.
I finally get through security and am sitting in the JetBlue terminal waiting for my flight to get let in. I try to close my eyes for a little bit because my headache finally went away and I'm exhausted but my phone goes off in my pocket.
"Hello?" I say groggily.
"Seth, where the hell have you been? You said you were going to phase in at least once a day." Jake says. Oh shit I totally forgot about that.
"Oh shit Jake, I'm sorry I totally forgot. I ugh I'm headed to Chicago now, I'm waiting in the airport for my plane."
"Already? What happened in L.A.?"
"Good question, I can't really answer because I don't know what happened. A girl this morning told me that we went back to my hotel at a bar but nothing really happened because I was talking too much so she just fell asleep." I laughed embarrassed.
"Oh, Seth." Jake is laughing on the other end, "You're such an idiot, so I take it you didn't imprint yet?"
"Nope, not yet. What if there isn't anyone out there for me Jake? What if I look and look and look, and never find her?" The conversation just turned really quickly because it's so frustrating not knowing. I was getting really mad and could actually see myself starting to shake. Calm down Seth, you can't phase in an airport.
"Look Seth, just relax. I'm sure you will find her. I was ready to jump off a cliff when I thought Bella had died. I tried forcing myself to imprint looking at everyone's face I could find when all I had to do was just wait. Nessie was there when I needed her most and I'm sure whoever you will end up with will be there for you too." I never knew he went looking for someone to imprint on, I guess that's not something he likes to share. He was in a dark place back then. I guess I just have to keep living my life and she will eventually be there.
"Alright, my flight's being called Jake I got to go. I'll try phasing in as soon as I can. Bye." I hang up the phone and head onto the plane that will maybe take me to her.
