Unrequited Love Chapter Eleven

It's been two weeks since Riven has returned; two weeks of everything going to hell. The only good points right now are Riven, and Jake. Sam, Paul, and Jared have been all over the place; I haven't seen any of them since two weeks ago. I haven't seen Embry either! He hasn't been at school or his house; his mom thinks he ran away, but Jake and I don't. I've asked Riven if he could find out, but he says to just leave it be for a while. Everything has just gotten so weird.

Riven and I have been sitting on my bed in complete silence for the past hour. Riven came around after my brother went to work. It was Sunday Morning and I had been bored for the maximum of five minutes until Riven came to keep me company.

I knew Riven said he didn't know what was going on, but I planned on getting it out of him. I knew he knew something and just wasn't telling me. It was getting on my nerves I really wanted to know. So, call me nosey, but I can't help it, that's just who I am.

"So, what's really going with everyone around here?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean; what's going on with everyone, like what the hell is going on?"

Riven stayed silent, and just stared at me, unblinkingly, inhuman like. "What do you want me to say?"

"I want you to tell me what's going on!"

"You know I don't know."

"And you know I know you're lying."

"Would you just let it go?"

"You know I never do."

"Look the only thing that's going on is the Cullens."

"The Cullens? The new family that moved into Forks, like months ago?"

"Yes. They're vampires too Larisa."

"What?"

"They're vegetarian vampires; which as you know causes them to have yellow eyes, and not red like me."

"That doesn't explain why everyone is so weird around La Push."

"Vampire's anywhere freak people out just naturally, it's no wonder they started getting all weird, especially with me around constantly. In fact I'm surprised you haven't freaked out since you met me."

"That can't be the only reason."

"Well it is so just let it go."

"Let it go? Why do you keep telling me to let it go? There's something you're not telling me!" I was standing on the hardwood floor looking down at him sitting on my unmade bed.

"There's nothing."

"Fine if you're not going to tell me then why bother?"

"What do you mean?" He was up from the bed faster than I realized. He was in my face, backing me up against a wall in an instant.

"Why are you here if you're just going to lie to me?" I breathed out. He was distractingly close and he looked so beautiful that it was all too much to bare, and I was completely breathless.

His red eyes stared into my brown ones, and his breath mingled with mine. His hand retreated from the wall near my head and landed feather-light on my cheek. "I'm here because I love you, and I want to protect you."

My eyes were still locked on his, but his were darting back and forth from my eyes to my lips to my neck in seconds. Before I could blink his lips were on mine and he was pushing them apart so his tongue could enter my mouth. My arms wrapped around his neck and my fingers trained through his pitch black hair. His skin was unusually warm against mine, and I couldn't hold back the shiver that ran up my spine. His lips moved from my lips and down to my throat where he started to kiss and suck and slightly nibble at. I could barely keep the moan from surfacing.

"I love you too Riven," I said when he pulled away from my lips, "but I don't want to if you're going to lie to me."

"Look, I'm not telling you, because you will eventually figure it out by yourself, and I want you to find out without my help." He told me.

"Okay," I nodded, "now, that answer I'll take."

Riven smiled, his warm hearted, straight smile, "Good, I'm glad." Then he captured my lips with his again. I parted my lips and grazed my tongue against the roof of Riven's mouth. His body heated even more as he pressed into me. My back arched against his touch and my head pushed into the wall behind me.

A beep from my phone, signaling that I had received a text message, broke us apart. I rushed to my phone and looked at the text.

I hope ur bn good!

It was from my brother. I groaned, why does my brother always have to ruin everything!

"My brother," I simply said, and quickly typed a reply. I tossed it over my shoulder and got up from the bed and slyly walked over to my vampire. When I reached him my hands wound around his neck. My fingertips played with the ends of his black hair. It was smooth under my touch. In an instant his hair thickened as I continued to gather his hair in my hands. I smiled up at him and leaned up the two inches to kiss him softly.

"You know that conversation we had about firsts?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Well…I was thinking I might take you up on that offer."

"Oh really?" He smirked and cocked his eyebrow.

"Yeah, you know, so I know what I'm doing when…ever I get a boyfriend."

His fingers stroked up my neck and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, "Hm, when?"

"Anytime you want." I was rewarded with a kiss on the lips and on the cheek.

There was another beeping sound from my bed where my phone was laying. I went over and checked my phone. I sighed, "Well, anytime but right now. I forgot I was supposed to go over to Jakes today and help him with his Rabbit."

"Okay, well some other time then." He said softly, looking a little disappointed, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

"How about tomorrow, after school?" I quirked my brow and winked at him.

"I don't think you need any help with the art of seduction."

"Well that one I'm comfortable with, but performing the arts is a different topic all together." I tempted, biting my lip in what I hoped was a sexy sly look.

"Well, tomorrow..." He bent down and kissed my lips, "…after school…we'll try to perfect your performing skills."

I kissed him back thoughtlessly and bit at his lower lip as I pulled away. I smiled up at him and then said, "I have to go."

"I'll pick you up from school tomorrow." Riven said before slipping out of my window into the early afternoon.

I quickly put on some make up and brushed through my hair again and slipped it into a messy bun at the nap of my neck. I pulled on some shoes and ran down the stairs. Once I made it through my front door I locked it and then unlocked my car doors and ran to my car as the rain poured down.

Once I was inside the car I plugged my iPod into the radio and put it on shuffle. My First Kiss by 3Oh3 featuring Ke$ha started playing. I sang along as I drove to Jacob's house. I probably could have walked there but seeing as how it was raining cats and dogs I decided driving would be the best option.

When I got there I pulled around back and parked in the grass by Jake's garage. When I entered the small wooden building Jake was bent over the engine of his Rabbit.

"Hey Jake, sorry I'm late." I called as I took off my rain coat.

"No worries, gave me some leeway on my baby." He called not raising his head from underneath the hood.

I walked up behind him and smiled. His hands were covered in grease as his t-shirt was rolled up to his elbows. He looked up at me briefly and then back down to his car.

"Nice hickey." He said, "Who gave it to you?"

My hand shot to my throat where I remembered Riven had previously been enjoying himself far too much. "No one." I stuttered lamely.

He looked up at me again with a questioning glance. "So you gave yourself a hickey?"

"What no!" I almost shouted. "You just don't understand."

"What's to understand about a hickey?" He asked as he turned back to his car.

"Change of subject; do you need me to help you with anything?"

He looked up at me with his famous Jake grin and shook his head, "Not at the moment Isa; just relax." I nodded and sat down at the work bench that was stationed not too far away. I sat there for some time, not that I minded; I liked just watching him. I liked the whole mechanic look I guess.

He looked up and grabbed a rag from the side of the engine. He rubbed some of the grease off of his hands and walked over to me. He smiled down at me and then sat beside me on the bench. He looked down to his hands and started twisting the rag between his fingers.

"Are you okay Jake?" I reached over and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I don't like that some guy is giving you hickeys…Wait! Is it from that Riven guy!" Jacob freaked out. I placed my hand over my neck again. "I guess that's all the answer I need."

I bit my lip and looked at him. Was he mad? Was he jealous? I wanted to know these answers, so I knew all I had to do to get them was to wait.

"I don't like that you have a mark like that from that guy." He said turning his head to look at me.

"Well, why not? It's not like you're going to be giving me any hickeys anytime soon."

"And why's that?"

I was completely confused about his response. "What?"

"Why can't I give you hickeys?"

"Do- do you want to?"

"Yeah, I mean, why not?" He said as he looked down at his stressed hands again.

"Well…" I said, dragging it out, as I stood from the bench, "This conversation is kind of awkward."

He jumped up too, "Couldn't agree more."

"I thought you liked that Bella chic."

"Well, I did, but she's going out with this Edward Cullen guy."

"Cullen?"

"Yeah, you know that new family who just moved here a while ago before Bella did…Well actually they've lived her longer than you have, but that's just because you moved to California."

"She's dating that freak!" I asked astounded.

"That's what I thought."

"He's just weird."

"How do you know he's so weird? Have you seen him?"

Okay so I knew I was being hypocritical, but seriously I had to keep the charade up because Jake didn't know that I knew vampires were real, and it's not like I could tell him the Cullens are vampires. "I've just heard some weird stuff about them."

"I guess that makes sense." He nodded. He walked to his car and back to me and then turned around and did the process again. Was he pacing? Why was he doing that?

"Look I have a question that I've wanted to ask you all week."
