I rolled over and turned off my annoying loud alarm. Last night Bella came in my room; thanked me for the gift and apologised for throwing a fit. I admit I may have overreacted just a touch. At half 6 in the morning I felt like going back to sleep; until I remembered where I was going - I jumped up with a grin on my face. Saturday was going to be a good day. I grabbed some shorts, a vest top and a shirt; raced into the bathroom and ran downstairs to see Charlie drinking some coffee.
"Hey kiddo you ready to go?" he asked while I swallowed down some cereal; Bella had gotten me used to cooked food so the cornflakes tasted kinda crappy. I nodded vigorously and he laughed at me. "Eager much?" I nodded again making him laugh harder. "I think you should change though" he added in a stern tone.
"Why?" I looked down at me purple checkered unbuttoned shirt over blue tank top and shorts.
"It's the middle of winter, there's frost on the road; I'm not letting you get sick" I rolled my eyes.
"Well I feel fine, toasty warm and I'll take a coat if you want me to." He put his hand on my head and drew it back abruptly.
"What?"
"You've got a temperature, let me get the thermometer" I rolled my eyes.
"You've probably just got cold hands, I'm fine - just warm blooded I guess. Now can we go?" I asked pulling on my high tops and grabbing a raincoat which I planned on leaving in the car. He shuffled out the house leaving Bella a note, she said she wanted to do some homework and clean up a bit; I wasn't going to stop the neat freak as long as she did my room too. "Oh wait I need to check something" I climbed back out the front seat and to the back of Bella's truck. I lifted up the covering "I love you Rosalie I really do." I murmured to myself. I grabbing it and putting it the trunk.
"What you put in the trunk?" I grinned and put in a mix CD into his cruiser.
"A dead body" I stated simply, he raised his eyebrows but it was too late I'd already started singing along to 'all the small things' - Blink 182. After singing loudly and probably out of key to 'pretty fly for a white guy' – Offspring and a few others, while Charlie shook his head; sorry for liking different types of music than just country rock. Half an hour later we pulled up; why must he obey speed laws - I suggested more than once to turn the sirens on but nooo. A red house came into view; it was so pretty. I grinned and jumped out nearly slipping on a half frozen water.
"Stupid slush puddle" I cursed under my breath. I knocked on the door a waited for Charlie to get his sorry butt over here. I heard wheels and the door opened.
"Hey Billy" I exclaimed crouching for a hug; sometimes being tall is a big pain in the ass. Charlie greeted Billy and they told me they were going to see Harry, then go do some manly things. Okay, they didn't say manly things but I wasn't paying a hundred percent attention. Billy told me Quil and Embry, Jakes friends, stopped over last night and that they were in the living room; to make myself at home and help myself to the food. I grinned and waved them off. Embry, Quil and Jake were laying on the floor; blankets and pillows sprawled everywhere. I climbed over the two boys on the floor to get to the target in question - Jacob Black. I grinned; he was laid pretty flat on his back snoring lightly. Unlike the one I gathered to be Embry for some unknown reason; he looked like an Embry, how was snoring like a powerhouse. Anyway, I half straddled his body careful not the touch him and bent to his ear.
"Hey Jakey" I whispered in his ear, he smiled a little in his sleep but didn't wake up. I tilted my head licked his neck and bit down pretty hard on the side that didn't already have teeth marks on it still; Oops my bad I guess.
His body spasmed and he woke up with a loud yell; scared shitless from the noise Quil and Embry shot up half asleep and really confused.
"Where's the fire?" Embry murmured rubbing his eyes until he caught sight of me. I jumped up off Jacob with a smirk and stood up.
"No fire. Hey I'm Lexi" I said with a small wave. I walked out the room back into the kitchen, hearing a 'damn' from Quil. I love you even more Rosalie; the shorts were definitely a good buy. "So what we doing today then?" I said sitting in the chair and putting my feet on another one. "Oh and I got you a present Jake!" Quil and Embry strolled in trying to look all cocky in there sweat pants and nothing else; they sat in the two free chairs. Leaving a trailing Jake rubbing his newly inflicted bite mark. My eyes roamed over his torso now that you can be cocky about; not body builder yet but the wolfishness had started and you could see everything forming. I lifted my feet and he plopped down into the chair leaning back, I put my feet back on his lap with a smile and batted my eyes.
He rolled his eyes back "So a present huh?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
I grinned and nodded, jumping up and running out side to grab the part I left on the porch. I came back in to a wide awake Quil and Embry staring at me. Jake was too but I don't really mind him - plus he was trying not to be obvious. I put the wrapped part on the table stood in between Quil and Embry and slapped the backs of their heads.
"Ah what the fuck?!?"
"Stop eye raping me, I feel violated" Embry looked slightly embarrassed, Quil just winked at me.
"Eww. Jakey protect me from the bad man!" I squealed like a baby jumping on his lap wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Lucky bastard" Quil muttered. Loud enough so only my freakish hearing could catch it. "I still can't believe she calls you Jakey" he said louder, I rolled my eyes and turned around a bit with a smirk.
"Well I get to call him Jakey and he gets to feel my ass whenever; so it evens out" I stated poking my tongue out at him. "Okay now, open it! Open it!" I chanted bouncing up and down on his lap; apparently he liked that too much and grabbed my hips stopping me. I blushed and whispered "Whoops sorry, my bad." I said pulling the wrapping of the part on the table. I smiled up at him hoping it was the right thing, Rose best not have screwed me over.
"Holy shit, is that a master cylinder for my car!?!" he exploded, I nodded and smiled.
"Yep" I said making a popping sound. He jumped up me in his lap and hugged me. "Whoa put me down, I'm too heavy" I said waving my legs frantically hanging from his neck until they went around his waist.
"Na, light as a feather. I can't believe it, where'd you get it?" he put me down hands still resting on my hips sending tingles over my body.
"My friend fixes up a lot of cars and they hoard parts they don't need; so I asked and here we are."
"Get a room already" Quil interrupted, me and Jake both turned to glare at Quil which made him laugh "Whatever dudes, I'm going to get changed."
"Me too" Embry followed him out.
"Guess we got a room after all" Jake chuckled, I smiled at him and nodded. I slowly tipped my head leaning in until I felt his breath on my face; giggled and jerked out his hands grabbing the part from the table.
"You gunna put this in or not?" I asked waving the part in front of him; he shook his head to concentrate.
"Hmm? Oh yeah let me get changed"
"Okay, I'll meet you in the garage thing" I grinned skipping out the room.
When I got to the roomy shed the hood was already popped and I stared at the engine; before I knew what was happening I was bent over the hood twisting things and hooking up random wires. But I knew I was fitting it right; I just didn't know how I knew.
"Lexi?" someone asked from behind me I glanced briefly to see the three of them standing at the entrance all fully clothed. I quickly turned back to the engine.
"Hmm, oh two minutes this thing was attached to this tube thing wrong and then this cable's in the wrong place" I murmured to myself.
"Jake the chicks wrecking your car" I finished wiped my hands on a random rag and turned to glare at Quil.
"I'm what?" I asked getting really pissed off; I mean I know I didn't know what I was doing but I still knew I was doing it right. Just assuming I'm doing it wrong made me want to slap him. I stood face to face with him, he was barely taller than me. He gulped and took a step back.
"N-nothing"
"Good! Stupid fucking ass wipe assuming I can't do jack shit; I'll beat his ass if pisses me off again" I muttered to myself going to sit on a random chair closing my eyes and sighing.
"What the fuck, how'd you? I didn't even… and she" Jake stammered presumably checking how much I 'wrecked his car'.
"What did I 'wreck' it? How silly off me I guess I should go cook or some shit then for you all mighty powerful men" I scoffed. "Please I could kick your asses any day" Quil laughed; so the wrong move. I stood up and grabbed Quil's shirt dragging him outside.
"Whoa, what the fuck! If you wanted me you just had to ask sugar"
"Oh I want you all right, to shut the fuck up. You think your so great, then fight me." I demanded.
"I don't fight girls" he scoffed.
"Scared you'll lose? Hey guess what!?! Quil's a pussy! Did you know you were hanging round with a pussy!" I shouted back into the garage. Quill went to grab my arm but I twisted it and planted a few kicks to his legs. Which led to how Quil ended up face down on the floor his arm behind his back. I released his arm, stepped over his body and over to Embry, he took a step back. I smiled in a friendly way.
"I like you, you stayed quiet and knew when to shut the fuck up so...starting over. Hey I'm Lexi, glad to finally meet one of Jake's best friends" I hugged him lightly and went to Jake and looked up at him. "Erm, sorry for beating up your friend" I bit my lip "He erm, may want some ice for his lip. Is the car ok?" he chuckled.
"Babe, that was so hot and the car is awesome. I glad you caught my mistake or the engine would probably have blown."
"Babe?" I asked raising my eyebrows, he blushed and looked down
"Oh sorry, didn't mean to erm… you want some food?" I giggled.
"I had cereal before I came over but sure whatever." He put his arm around my shoulder and led me into the house.
"The fucker deserved it anyways; now it's even funnier because we can say he got his ass handed to him by a girl" he chuckled.
"Glad I could help" I rolled my eyes and caught sight of Jakes neck, I stopped and stood in front of him "I'm so sorry" I said running my finger along the mark. He looked confused until his eyes widened.
"Oh don't worry about it, now I have to get you back twice" he chuckled wiggling his eyebrows. I opened the fridge and grabbed some bacon, mushrooms and 4 eggs. Looked in around four cupboards until I found a frying pan then started frying the cut up mushrooms and bits of ripped up bacon. I quickly added the mixed eggs and let it cook. I started singing 'baby's got back' - Sir mix-a-lot to myself.
"I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny, that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face you get sprung! Wanna pull out your tough 'cause you notice that butt was stuffed. Deep in the jeans she's wearing, I'm hooked and I can't stop staring. Oh baby, I wanna get with you, and take your picture. My home boys tried to warn me, but that butt you got makes me so horny." I emptied the omelette onto a plate grabbed a fork and turned around to sit at the table. They were all laughing so hard it had turned silent.
I sat in Jake's lap and I started eating until they were staring at my food. "What? You didn't think I'd make you something did you? Please!" I started eating again until I felt Jakes breath against my ear making me stop mid chew. His breath rolled over my neck making me tingle and I swallowed my half chewed food quickly. That's when he bit me, it wasn't hard enough to break skin so it just felt fucking amazing. I groaned and dropped my fork on the table.
"Payback one, although now I'm thinking it's hardly payback" he whispered against my neck. Quil and Embry started laughing.
"Did you just moan?!? Oh my god that was so funny, I'd bite you any day if you did that" I turned and glare at Quil who's lip was only slightly swollen from the one punch I might have 'accidentally' thrown.
I laughed "Seriously Quil, you think saying crap like that get you girls? Have you ever talking to a woman without her having to check if the money was real? Grow up and stop trying to hit on me, it's creepy - you've basically got a girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend" Quil asked confused.
"No but when Claire… fuck never mind" I groaned into my hands, not wolves yet - no baby imprints.
"Who in the hell is Claire?"
"Oh um nothing, got confused is all" I forced a laugh "So what are we doing?"
"Well we need to eat and you still have half a massive omelette in front of you" Embry pointed out.
"Oh yeah! Yummy" I started digging in again.
"How can you eat so much, where does it go?" Embry asked glancing over me.
"It goes to a better place don't worry, now shush I'm eating" Jake laughed behind me and snaked his arms round my torso. He rested his head on my shoulder.
"Can you get up a second?" he whispered.
"Nope" I said popping the 'p' between bites.
"But I need to get some food" he whined I sighed and handed my fork to him. I did eat a lot already but I don't eat that fast; there was still at least a third left. He started eating and I leant back against him and closed my eyes.
I felt a familiar tingle on my thigh and my eyes fluttered open to see Jake sitting there looking at me.
"How long was I asleep?" I yawned.
"Only about forty five minutes" he shrugged slightly.
"Where are the guys?" he blushed.
"I, erm got kinda pissed at Quil for being such a dick and told him to fuck off for a while. Embry got dragged out by Quil to his house."
"Oh." was all I could say; that was kinda sweet. Then I smirked "So we've got the house to ourselves then?" I asked trailing my fingertips over his arm.
"Er…um…yeah" he stuttered.
"Cool" I chirped and stood up immediately missing Jake's arms round me; this is going to hurt if or when he imprints on the sea monster. "What do you wanna do then?" I asked standing in the space between his legs looking down at him. He trailed his fingertips up my thighs resting his hands on my hips and pulling me closer. His fingertips drew tiny circles on my hips where my top had ridden up making my knees weaken.
"Well..." his voice was deep and husky as he leaned up, just a little closer.
