CHAPTER SEVEN - Shopping Bags and a Visitor
::A M B E R S P O V::
I woke up burrowed beneath covers in a bed I did not remember falling asleep in. Giving a yawn I looked around. I remembered specifically falling asleep on the couch not in a bed. Shrugging I got up and dressed after showering. Slipping on a black and red pettiskirt, leggings, my plaid knee high socks, combat boots, tank top and hoodie I straightened out my hair with my flat iron and did my make up before I headed down the stairs. I found my way into the living room stiffling a yawn before a hyper bouncing pixie came into my line of view.
"Good Morning! Esme made the wolves save you some breakfast its in the kitchen. You need to eat and then we can go shopping... What the hell are you wearing?"
She said as she eyeballed my outfit like it was some offensive thing that had bit her.
"Alice, I am wearing clothes. But if you want me to run around flashing my little white ass I have no problem doing it."
Alice gave me a look that was weighing if I was bluffing or not and she nodded and spoke as she pushed me into the kitchen,
"I believe you, now eat so we can go shopping."
I ate the french toast and drank a glass of milk before I washed my plate and glass. Setting it in the strainer I headed out of the kitchen. As I rounded the corner to go into the living room I ran into what felt like a brick wall giving out a squeak as I nearly landed on the floor. Cold fingers grasped my upper arms and prevented the fall as they pulled me back up to stand straight, our bodies touching, sending electricity through my nerves. I looked up into the red-golden eyes of Riley.
::R I L E Y S P O V::
Walking into the kitchen under Alice's request to see if Amber was finished with breakfast, I was under the impression Alice was rushing the girl as she muttered something about odd clothing combinations. I just shook my head and ignored it. I did go to check on Amber but not to tell her to hurry up for Alice. As I rounded the corner into the kitchen I came into contact with Amber. She gave a squeak and I caught her arms before she fell backwards to the ground. I pulled her back to her feet her body touching against mine. Our eyes met. Blue on Red Golden. I felt little tingly shocks assaulting my nerves where her skin was touching mine. I looked at her and could see what Alice meant by odd clothing combinations, but it suited her. fit her to a tee.
We stared at each other for a moment and I tucked a wayward strand of hair behind her ear gently. My hand brushing her cheek that was covered with make up. I could see through the mask it created and she didn't need it. She was naturally breath taking. I heard her heart rate accelerate as my hand made contact with her face, sending her blood on a speed race through her veins, her pulse point moving quickly.
I didn't know why I did what I did next but all holding back was let lose. It just felt right to do it. I leaned in slowly and we met in the middle. Her lips were soft and warm covered with a lipstain color of dark pink. Her eyes closed behind the lids covered in black and red eyeshadow that were lined heavily with black liner. Our lips moved in a slow syncronized movement, fitting like a hand would in a glove.
It was at that moment I knew she had locked my heart away in a little box only she knew the wearabouts too. Because it was impossible for her to steal. She had stolen it the moment we first met.
::A L I C E S P O V::
I had been talking to Rosalie when I seen Riley and asked him to see if Amber was done eating. I wanted to go shopping. I wasn't rushing the girl. After all she was human. But I did want to get that girl some clothes. The eccentric style she was wearing that was completely her and was a touch of everything she was. Whatever you could call her. There was no label for her. She was every label wrapped into a very beautiful package of riley heart stealing outgoing Amber-ness.
I checked my watch. It was five minutes since I sent Riley in. I wasn't sure what was taking so long. Going in to check on the matter myself I stopped dead in my tracks along with Rosalie. There was Riley, and Amber. In the middle of a game of tonsil tag. Now I wasn't sure if it could be call that just yet but I zipped up to my room and zipped back down camera in hand and snapped a picture with a grin. They sprung apart and Amber looked very displeased. Of course she was making out with a rock basically. A very good looking rock at that, so I am sure she was very displease.
I gave out a squeal of delight and then began chanting as I skipped around the house,
"Riley and Amber are together!"
I was on the third round of chanting it in a sing song voice when I heard a chorus of 'Shut Up' from Riley and Amber. I grinned and turned to Amber grabbed her hand then dragged her from the house. Talk came after Shopping in this case. Hopping in my porche after for a second time shoving her in the passenger seat I sped off. It was two hours before we reached the mall in seattle and shopping commenced immeadiately.
I dragged her around the mall buying clothes of all styles and colors. I did pick up some light pink things. a top and a pair of shorts and a skirt but it dissappeared from the pile almost as fast as it got there and I was now aware she hated baby pink stuff. Only wore dark and hot pink things. Even that was rare though. So we avoided pink stuff all together. After a few hours of shopping we went to the food court and she grabbed a taco and starbucks coffee. It wasn't long before she finally dragged me to one of her "favorite" stores. It was called Hot Topic and I for one found some cute things in there. Which fell into my pile of clothes. We managed to sum up our shopping a few hours lated. We put everything in the trunk and headed back to the house.
Upon arrival we dragged everything to the room she was staying in. I unpacked everything while she asked
"Why, bother unpacking it? I am going home on Sunday."
"Because."
I said flatly and finished. She gave a shrug and quickly changed from the clothes she was wearing into a pair of jeans, boots and a t-shirt.
"You can take the girl out of the south but you can't take the south out of the girl."
She said as she clicked her boots together. I wanted to screech and get rid of the things. Last time I had seen cowboy boots was on Jasper and those were at the back of the closet and hardly ever worn. Even though I told Jasper I hid them somewhere else. I didn't find them fashionable. I was determined to get them from her and burn them.
Diving at her she gave a screech and ducked. I moved a bit slower than I needed to and she booked it out the door and down the stairs. Hiding behind Riley she grinned triuphanty.
"Alice, whats going on?"
Jasper asked me as I eyeballed Amber like a hawk who was grinning like a chesshire cat behind Riley.
"She is having a wardrobe malfunction. Have you even seen whats on her feet."
I spoke not even noticing two red eyed visitors in the room standing next to Emmett. Not till one of them laughed. I knew that laugh. Peter fucking Whitlock.
::A M B E R S P O V::
Alice gave chase as I ran from the room as fast as my human legs could go. As I reached downstairs I ducked behind Riley and grinned like a Chesshire Cat as I looked from around him. I had no idea what the attack was for till she mentioned my feet.
"My boots are not a wardrobe malfunction and I'll be damned if I let you get your hands on them."
I said with an offended glare,
"If you have something against my southern herritage well then missy my foot will be up your ass, vampire or not."
I heard a laugh and looked for the source and found a male standing next to Emmett, with a small girl about Alice's height next to him. I noticed their eyes,
"Oh so now I am a walking happy meal. Thats great. Thats just fan-fuckin-tastic."
Riley grinned and chuckled,
"Not in a million years would you be a walking happy meal."
He told me and I smiled as I heard Jasper speak,
"Their friends of mine, Amber. This is Peter and Charlotte. Pete, Char. This is Amber. The only girl who could give your mouth a run for its money, Peter."
I gave a nod and looked at Alice who was trying to sneak attack me.
"Alice leave me and my boots alone, before I go and burn your whole entire god damn fucking wardrobe. I have a lighter and I am so not afraid to use it."
I said with a glare which earned another chuckle from Peter,
"She's a fiesty one."
"Fiesty doesn't even begin to desrcribe her."
Emmett said with a booming laugh.
"Hello, human girl your talking about is standing in the room you know."
I said and gave a growl and hiss at Alice before I grabbed a pillow from the couch and sent it sailing at her head, If I didn't want to break any of Esme's furniture I would have thrown a chair from the dining room table at her. I was going to have to hide my boots if I took them off.
::R I L E Y S P O V::
It had been like a tennis match between Alice and Amber for a few moments. I had no idea what she had against Amber's boots. But knowing Alice and her fashion ways it was for some strange reason. I was listening to everyone around me talk as I heard Amber tell Alice from behind me as she inched around to stand beside me she had a lighter and wasn't afraid to use it on the wardrobe in Alice's room and she was about ready to shove her foot up her ass if she didn't leave her alone.
I laughed and shook my head as I looked at Alice,
"Leave her alone Alice. Give her a break you just tortured her in a shopping trip."
I said as once again Amber grinned and then began talking to Emmett as him and Jasper's friend, Peter began talking about her. I placed my arm around her shoulder and she looked towards the door as it opened. It was just the wolves. The house was gonna get crowded, So we all moved to the back yard. I sat on the railing of the porch next to Amber who was poking fun at Paul who had lost a fight to Jacob.
Her and Paul had gotten along pretty well for the short time they knew each other. Maybe it was because they were both easily pissed off. I wouldn't know.
"So I heard you guys played tonsil tag earlier. Whats the status?"
Emmett asked with a laugh from my side as Amber left and was arguing with Embry. I looked at Emmett and said,
"Well Emmett can't exactly tell you we've not got a chance to talk Alice won't get her head out of clothes and fashion long enough to give Amber a chance to sit down and talk to me. I am about to whisk her away."
Emmett chuckled and said as he pointed to the lawn,
"Well it will have to wait Embry's gonna get his ass kicked. I bet a hundred bucks on Amber. Kick his ass Amber."
::A M B E R S P O V::
We all headed out to the back yard as the Wolves came. The house was a little crowded. As I sat next to Riley for a few moments before hopping down as I poked fun at Paul who was becoming a pretty good friend of mine. But my attention soon turned to Embry.
"Amber. You know we've all heard your mouth and we heard your threat to Paul the other day, but I think your all talk and no action. How about a fight?"
He asked. I really wasn't sure about going up against a wolf boy and some of the Cullen's looked a little apprehensive even the nomad friends of Jaspers looked Aprehensive but I wasn't one to walk away from a fight.
"Oh so you think you can take me. That I don't walk the line I paint? Well then lets see what you got."
I grinned and heard a few bets going on in the background. Chuckling when I heard Emmett's booming voice. I flexed my shoulders and stood waiting for Embry to turn around. As soon as he was looking at me I went at him. He ducked and dodged. Spinning around me. I spun around sending a side kick to his gut. moving away from him I waited for a retaliation,
"Don't go soft on me cause I'm a itty bitty human. I can take whatever you got to throw."
It was true. I could take alot. It took one hell of a beating to knock me down. I learned from a U.S Marine. So I knew quite alot about fighting and techniques. Not to mention I took Tea Kwon Do for awhile as a kid before I quit because I was strong and seen no need in continuing.
He came at me with his fist and hit me and I fell backwards. Sitting up I laughed it off. It hurt. I had to admit but I was tough I could take it,
"You hit like a girl."
I said and fell backwards and kicked myself back onto my feet. I went at him with a left puch followed by a right hook and then an elbow before jump front kicking him in the chest and then sending a right round kick to his jaw. He caught my foot as I sent the round kick at him. Grinning I jumped off the ground and kicked him in the head with my left foot before I hit the dirt and got back to my feet swift. Circling in a sparring position as I watched him closely determing his next move.
"Someone is gonna be a badass newborn." Emmett said as he looked at Jasper and the Others. "Hey Jasper. I wonder if she could take you."
Peter laughed and spoke,
"Well if Jasper was human she'd give him a run for his money. As a vampire I don't think she'd get far with her being human."
Bella came out with Esme as they talked idly and said as she leaned against the railing next to Jasper,
"I don't know. I punched Jacob in the face and sprained my hand. She's going at him pretty hard and isn't even backing down. Either she ignores pain completely or doesn't realized she's hurt herself yet."
"Nah, She's fine."
Peter said as if he was all knowing which he was. He had a way of knowing things. Jasper watched the two fight.
"She's just strong. She probably learned that from her Dad. Or at least most of it. She does come from a military family. She said her Dad was a Marine. Marines are the toughest branch in the Army."
Embry continued to come at me I was convinced he wasn't coming at me with all he had. His hits weren't phasing me and he hesitated with every throw he sent at me.
"Come on Embry, I'm not even breaking a sweat here."
I taunted as he set a harder punch at me. Which is what I wanted. A decent challenge. We continued fighting He was finally putting some strength into his hits and I was blocking. I dropped to the ground to avoid a swing and kicked his legs out from him. He fell but got back up and I sent a hard right hook against his jaw.
Raising an eyebrow I looked at him as he grabbed his jaw,
"Did I just hear your teeth break?"
He gave me a glare and lunged at me with a small growl and I backed up before I spun to avoid a punch and grabbed his arm in the process. Twisting it around as I took him to the ground I dug the heel of my boot into his shoulder blade. It only took a few minutes before he started forfeiting with a loud scream,
"OK, Damnit Amber lemme go!"
I released and walked away,
"That was easier than I would have liked."
I spoke and he looked at me and rotated his shoulder blade and swung his arm around,
"Yeah and you nearly ripped my arm out of socket."
I looked at him and said as if it was completely innocent,
"Could have been worse. I could have snapped your neck or slit your throat...Well could have slit your throat if I had my knife on me but its on my dresser at home."
Quil, Jacob, Paul and Sam looked at me worriedly as well as Jasper and Emmett.
"Now I'm scared."
Sam said as he looked at everyone around him before Paul asked,
"How do you snap someone's neck? I mean I know its all about twisting but really I know your strong you kicked me off the couch last night during movies without much effort but how do you do it?"
I smirked,
"You really want to know?"
He nodded and I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into the yard and grabbed his head in my arms tightly,
"All you do is this then apply about twenty pounds of preassure and SNAP!"
I said as I snapped his head to the side. I didn't apply that much preassure so it most likely just gave him whiplash but I am sure I had everyone worried, I chuckled and patted Paul's head and walked over and hopped up on the rail next to Riley. Jacob was laughing at Paul's mortified expression and Embry was still flexing his shoulder before he said,
"Who taught you to fight."
I grinned and pulled my wallet out and whipped out a picture. Holding it in his face I said,
"My Daddy, mainly. Uncle taught me some too. As did my four brothers. Well my brothers just got me a pair of brass knuckles and some pepper spray. Just in case but, I'm very well eqquiped and capable of taking care of myself."
::P E T E R S P O V::
I was leaning against the railing next to Jasper watching the fight in the yard. Well it was more just a small paly fight not a real fight but the pistol of a human wanted a challenge I could see the wolf was holding back on her. Probably the real reason she was able to win, but I had a good feeling she would kick his ass even if he went all out on her. We were talking amongst ourselves as the fight went on. Jasper had stated she came from a long line of military and her father was a marine. That explained the girl's toughness, to me it did anyways. I doubted a girl that came from a line of service men and lived with a marine would be on the defenseless and weak side.
I got a glimpse of the photo. The men in the family were muscular and lean. Looking at Riley I said,
"You know its a good thing your immortal. Six men all able to kick ass, and protective of the baby of the family. Your are very lucky you can't be killed by humans."
Amber had put the picture back in her wallet and was now sitting next to Riley.
"They haven't even met him nor any in this family. Well except Chris. He's met you all briefly. I recapped my school day the moment I said Riley's name they treated me like a murder suspect. Its a wonder I've even had boyfriends in the past. Daddy always told the guys they better hope they can peel themselves off of concrete after he kicked their asses then run faster than the bullet could leave the gun barrel. Maybe thats part of the reason my relationships never go past date one most of the time. That and I can't be tamed."
"Yup, Riley you got your worked cut out for you immortal being or not."
Emmett said with a laugh. Riley rolled his eyes and Rosalie smacked Emmett over the head.
::R I L E Y S P O V::
I rolled my eyes at Emmett and hopped of the railing and pulled Amber down. I took her hand in mind and lead her into the house. We walked through the door and I lead her up to my room. We needed to talk to see where we stood. While we had the chance to talk. Closing the door I looked at her she was sitting in my desk chair arms propped on the back as she straddled the seat.
"We need to talk."
We both said looking at each other at the same time. I chuckled and she grinned. I guessed it was a good thing we were both on the same wavelength in this matter I sat on the edge of the bed and she wheeled the computer chair over and was in front of me,
"You first."
She stated and I looked into her blue eyes. They were deep pools of emotions. It was hard to tell what was really running through her head but there was a small smile on her lips. She ran her hands through her blond hair pushing it all back from her face.
"I just want to know were we stand, because of what happened this morning. I really don't know how to word it besides that way."
Amber looked at me as I spoke. Then she commented,
"Ok so we're on the same page thats good. I really don't know what to say either. I'm not much with words unless I am lashing someone out for driving me bonkers or pissing me off... Riley there is something, I can feel it. In my gut, and if there is one thing I've learned from my father is to never go against a gut instinct. And my gut is telling me. But more of my heart is telling me there is something between us. Has been sense I caught your eyes glued to me. So we need to set ground."
"I know I am not perfect. I am far from it and I am a handful. I scream I cuss and I have a temper. I hate being put on a pedastal as some breakable object. I'm to strong for that kind of shit. I have my moments where I want to be left alone conversation wise and just want someone to keep me company and I've got a mile long list of guys I've dated that I either turned my back on cause they tried to control me or they turned their back on me because they couldn't control me. I've broken hearts and I've been broken too."
"I'm cold and cruel sometimes. Sometimes I mean it and sometimes I don't. I suck with words and I tend to ramble sometimes. I don't like to be babied. I down right hate people doing things for me when I am capable of it. I don't like hurting people intentionally but will if need be. I love a good fight, I like challenges. I also hate being lied to."
I smirked. She was rambling now without even realizing it. When she fell silent I spoke,
"Well Amber. I will do my best not to make you mad in anyway shape or form. I know there is something. I can feel it too. You bring my dead heart back to life. I fell head over heels for you before you even got out of you car. I'm not perfect either, but who is? I hate being lied to as well. I don't like people keeping me in the dark or hiding things from me. I don't take shit when it comes to those I care about and there are moments I do want to be left alone. I've had my heart shreaded by a lie."
She looked at me,
"What happened?"
She asked me simply as she ran her finger along the back of my hand,
"Her name was Victoria. When I was human I was on my way home and something was running around. I freaked out and was running pleading to be left alone. I seen a beautiful red headed woman with pale skin and gleaming ruby eyes. She bit me. She was the one that changed me into what I am. I awoke and she told me she loved me that we were mates and thats why she changed me. She said she was avenging a death of her friend who had been killed. By the Cullens. She kept things from me but I was in love with her. We were going to kill Bella. along with the rest of the Cullens."
"Creating an army of newborn vampires we came here for a fight. While the others were in the field fighting me and Victoria were in the mountains going after Edward and Bella. Edward told me Victoria was lying to me that she never loved me. I was in doubt but I believed him. I killed Victoria in a rage and I've been with the Cullen's since. I took human lives to feed. I changed people and it lead to their ultimate defeat."
"That's the short version. It would take impossibly long to tell you the long version. Maybe some other time I'll spit the long version out to ya."
She took my hand and spoke,
"Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault. She lied and clouded your judgement. Its the past, Look forward not back...I would love to hear the long version. Although I get a gist with the short version."
I gave a small smile. She took it better than I thought. Then again even though she was a riot waiting to happen she was understanding.
"Lets make it official then shall we?"
I asked. She smiled and nodded,
"Yeah but now you have to meet my dad, uncle james, and my brothers. Lets hope they don't try and shoot you. I don't want to have to explain why bullets bounce off of my boyfriend."
I chuckled and kissed her lightly,
"can't wait."
I said sarchastically. I hope they didn't try to shoot me either.
