Chapter 20 – Spare

Rosalie and Emmett didn't stick around very long. Emmett wanted to follow the scent of the unknown vampire. I would have liked to go with them but Rose assured me that my date with Adam was more important.

In my time to spare I grabbed some pieces of 2x4's to nail my front door shut, I also open the yellow pages and found a company that would be able to replace my door. Once that was done I headed to the bowling alley. It was a small place only ten lanes all ten pin; it had a small concession stand that sold pop, chips, and hot dogs. I walked up to the main desk.

"What size?" the man behind the counter asked.

"Nine please" he handed me a pair of old beat up bowling shoes. The smell coming from them was revolting. I sat down at the nearest bench to put on the disgusting pair of shoes.

"Great, you got your shoes already." Adam sat down beside me; he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I froze.

"Wow your cold, did you walk here?" Adam went to place his hand on my cheek but I moved away.

"No circulation problem. I'm always cold." I stood up holding my personal pair of shoes in my hand.

"Well that kinda sucks, so you're like never warm?"

"Lets just say I'm cold blooded" Adam laughed.

"Were in lane ten, right at the end there" Adam pointed towards the back of the building.

As we walked over my phone rang. Adam looked at me as I answered it.

"Hello"

"Hi Sabine its Rosalie" She spoke low. "Sorry to interrupt your afternoon"

"No its okay Rosalie, what did you find?" I question Rose as I walked towards our lane. Adam started to enter our names on the computer.

"Emmett and I traced the scent to a cabin deep in the Rockies. The vampire wasn't there but it appears to be its place of residence" I watched Adam pick up a bowling ball and toss it down the lane knocking over couple of pins. I clapped enthusiastically as Adam went for his second ball.

"So we called Carlisle and he told us to back off." Rosalie continued.

"WHAT" I said a little too loudly into the phone. Adam gave me a questioning look. I smiled at him and shook my head.

"Chill" Rosalie said through her teeth.

"It's your turn" Adam smiled at me and pointed to the lane.

"One sec Rose, I have to bowl" I placed the phone down on my seat and grabbed a ball. I tried to look as uncoordinated and awkward as I possible could while throwing a twelve pound bowling ball down a lane. My first ball was a gutter ball, excellent! The second ball I knocked down a couple of pins. I walked back to my seat and picked up my phone.

"Pretending to be horrible is hard, I can't wait till this charade is over" I whisper into the phone so Adam couldn't hear. Rosalie laughed.

"So tell me what Carlisle said" I asked.

"He wants to approach the nomad with Jasper and Edward. They will investigate when they get back. In the mean time if you want you can stay with us."

"I'll think about it Rosalie, but now I have to get back to my game. Talk to you later."

"Later" Rosalie said then hung up.

I placed the phone in my pocket.

"Sorry about that" I apologized to Adam.

"Was it the hospital?" Adam asked.

"No it was my best friend Rose" I walked up to the lane and picked up a ball.

"I hope everything is alright"

I tossed the ball down the lane. "Ya, she's just being Rose."

We played a couple of games; I got better at being horrible.

"That was fun" Adam stated as he took off his rented shoes and put on his own pair, I did the same.

"Yes it was, I definitely suck though." I laughed at myself.

We walked over to the cashier to pay, I looked over at Adam and his skin went from a flushed pink to an ash grey, he started to sway back and forth. His eyes rolled back in his head and his body went limp.

"Adam" I screamed and caught him before he hit the ground. I turned to the cashier. "I'm a doctor; I need a cool, damp cloth. Go now!"

The cashier ran from behind the counter and quickly return with the cloth. I placed it behind Adam's neck and he slowly started coming around.

"Adam, are you okay?" I asked helping him sit up.

"Ya, I'm fine. I just didn't eat lunch today."

I laughed "You should know better"

I looked around the room and found the cashier.

"Can I get a hot dog and a coke please" The cashier nodded her head and disappeared.

"You really don't have to do that" Adam tried to argue.

"Oh but I do, cause obviously you don't feed yourself." I joked. Adam laughed.

"You wouldn't be a very good doctor or girlfriend otherwise."

I smiled.

The cashier returned with a hotdog and a coke.

"Eat" I handed the food to Adam and he took a bite of the hot dog. I turned to the cashier.

"Place the lane and the food on here" I handed her my credit card.

"You know I was planning on paying" Adam said with his mouth full.

"Really?" I question "I thought you fainted to get out of paying." I laughed.

"I get you next time" Adam took a long sip from his coke.

The cashier return my card and we were ready to go when Adam was. Adam finished his snack and stood up.

"You feeling better?" I asked looking him over, he still didn't look well.

"Much" Adam smiled "Serves me right skipping a meal."

Adam once again walked me to my car. He was a little unbalanced but nothing a human would notice. We reached my car I turned around.

"Adam where's your car?" A gentle flush hit his checks.

"I don't have one"

"Then how were you expecting to get home?" My eyes were wide and full of concern; millions of thoughts flooded my head.

"I would have walked or called a cab."

"You can barley stand up straight. Get in the car." I said light heartedly, unlocking the car doors.

"No it's really fine, I'm fine." Adam stumbled and leaned up against the car.

"Get in the car" I said once again this time my voice was low, deep and terrifying. Adam immediately stood up straight and walked over to the passenger side door and sat in the car. I followed suit getting behind the wheel.

"I'm sorry for getting angry." I refused to look at Adam.

"That's what that was? No wonder they gave you your own department." Adam chuckled at his own joke. I wasn't paying any real attention to what he was saying.

"I care about you Adam and your well being. I can help you." I turned my head and looked into his eyes.

"Today I didn't eat, stupid of me, I am really fine though. As for the no car thing, I just didn't want you to think les of me for asking you for a ride."

"You can ask me for anything, I would do anything for you." I didn't know what it was but the words just flowed off my tongue, things I would have held back.

Adam put his seatbelt on, I followed suit.

"Thank you Sabine."
"Your welcome." I started the car and placed it in drive. "So how do I get to your place?"

"Oh umm. Make a right at the lights and then at the gas station make a left. The motel will be on the right."

I started following Adam's directions.

"You're living in a motel?" I asked

"Ya, well I don't stay in a place long enough to buy a house."

"That's right you were on your way to Alaska." I sighed.

"It's really not that bad, I have a little kitchen and a maid, and I never have to make my bed." Adam laughed.

I cam up to the gas station and made a left.

"There it is, right up there." Adam pointed to a motel.

It was a run down place with only a couple of cars in the parking lot. It was obvious people didn't stay here unless they had to. I pulled into the motel.

"What number?" I asked Adam.

"The corner one" Adam pointed to the very last unit.

I pulled up at the front of the unit and placed the car in park.

"I had a really nice time today" I turned towards Adam.

"So did I, well minus the fainting bit. Sorry about that."

"No worried, as long as you're feeling better."

"Much" Adam unbuckled his seatbelt and turned towards me. He leaned forward.

"I don't know if this is a good idea." I tried to put some space between Adam and I.

"I thought you said you care about me?" Adam cupped my face with his hand. He gasped quietly.

"I do care about you and I like you a lot. It's just" before I could finish my sentence Adam's lips came crushing down on mine.

I could feel the fire in the back of my throat as our lips moved together. I pulled away from Adam.

"As much as I want this to continue, I don't think its right, right now."

"You're probably right" Adam kissed my forehead. I smiled.

"I don't think I will ever get used to how cold you are" Adam chuckled.

"Dinner tomorrow?" I suggested.

"Sounds wonderful" Adam reached for the door.

"I'll call you when I get off work."

Adam open the car door. "I look forward to it, till then have a good night, sweet dreams."

"You too"

Adam shut the car door and proceeded his way to his motel door. Adam unlocked his door, turned around and waved at me.
