21. ARRIVAL
"Never again." I crossed my arms and stared out the window of the car as Jacob started to pull out of the parking lot.
Jacob started to laugh. "Oh come on now…"
"No. Never again."
"You're just being a sourpuss." He reached over and touched my arm.
I huffed, turning away from him, slightly blushing at the memory of what he just did in the store.
Edward had called us as we were on our way to the 'secret honeymoon' spot and told us it would be a good idea to pick up some food and stuff since we were going to be there for two weeks. If only I had known what a scene it was going to turn in to.
Luckily, we were in the car now, and I was glad I didn't have to live through that again.
"What's the big deal?" Jacob placed his arm on my shoulder.
I whipped around to him. "'What's the big deal?' Really, Jake?"
"What? Come on! It was funny! You should've seen that guys face!" He started laughing again.
"Did you see my face? I thought I was going to die of embarrassment!"
Jacob's laughter got louder and he started to smack the steering wheel. "Come on! You've known me how long and you're still getting embarrassed by me?"
"Jacob!" I shook my head in frustration before doing my best to impersonate his voice. "'Uhh… Excuse me, sir? I was wondering which of these two chocolate syrups would be better for my husband here to lick off of me during hours of raunchy sex.'"
I thought Jacob was going to pass out from how hard he was laughing. "And then… the guys… face!" He managed to get out between laughing fits.
"And you didn't stop there! After the guy nearly chokes to death on whatever he was eating at the time, you go at him again! 'Oh no! Don't worry. I'll be licking it off of him too. We're a mutual relationship. You know what? I'm gonna get both! Thanks for your help!'" I shook my head. "And then you had the nerve to go in front of me in the check out line just to buy chocolate syrup and lube! Being sure to tell the lady behind the counter that we were going to have a swell time with that stuff!"
Jacob pulled the car over on the side of the road and clutched his stomach laughing.
"Oh… my sides… they hurt… Make it… stop…"
"Oh my God! I friggen hate you!"
All of a sudden, Jacob stopped laughing. He turned the car off and crawled into my seat, straddling my lap. "Do you? Do you really?"
I looked up into his eyes. "Yes."
Jacob smirked and brought his hand to the side of my face. He leaned in pressing his lips to mine, snaking his tongue into my mouth. He free hand made its way up underneath my shirt and started rubbing my chest. As quickly as the kiss started, it was over, and Jacob was kissing his way down my neck. Speaking between kisses. "I… don't… think… you… do…" He lingered on the last kiss as he began sucking on my neck.
"Jake… ugh…" I tipped my head back in enjoyment. "Ok… You win…"
I could feel him smiling against my skin. "I know."
He moved back to his own seat and started the car, pulling back onto the road, smiling the whole time. "I love the power I have over you."
I laughed. "Power… Yeah, sure you do."
Jacob looked away form the road and stared into my eyes with a burning passion that caused my heart to accelerate rapidly.
"I… I-umm… Ok, ok!" As soon as Jacob looked back to the road, I turned my head to look straight ahead as well. He makes me melt just by looking at me… I had known Jacob for a while, and his love feels just as new as the day we met.
A female's voice came over the speakers. "Your destination is on the left."
I looked over and saw a sign for some cabins. The Bayview Cabins. "I guess that's it." I pointed.
"Alrighty." Jacob parked in the parking lot and pulled out his phone. After a few rings someone picked up. "Ok, Edward. We're here. They Bayview Cabins, right? Ok. Thanks again." He turned to me. "Yup, this is it."
We got out of the car and looked around. I took a few steps up a tiny little hill and saw that these cabins overlooked a serene lake. Or a bay in this case. There were docks on the shore with some various boats tied up: canoes, kayaks, rowboats. As I looked around more I saw an older man walking over to us.
When he got to us he smiled and shook Jacob's hand followed by mine. "You must be the Blacks. I have your cabin all set up for you, if you want to grab your things and follow me."
Jacob walked over to the car and grabbed the bags of groceries, making eye contact with me when he picked up a bag that held certain items. Jacob… I swear to God… He smiled and we followed the older man to a rather large cabin in comparison with the rest of them.
It was tucked off on the edge of the property away from all of the other cabins. From what I could tell it was the only one directly on the waterfront. The man let us inside and started explaining some things about the location to us. "Ok, first off my name's Frank by the way."
"Jacob. And that's Terry." He said pointing at me.
"You guys friends or something? Well no that can't be what are the odds of you two having the same last name…" Frank tilted his head in thought.
"We're actually married. This is our honeymoon." I smiled. Jacob looked at me smiling widely.
"Oh! Alright. That makes sense, considering you guys have the only cabin with one bed. A California King at that." Frank smiled. "Ok, so if you look out that window, you see the Bay of Naples which basically turns into Brandy Pond if you go left, continue past that through the locks and you'll reach Sebago Lake. And It is probably the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. 12 miles long, you go out there, it will look like you're in the middle of the ocean if you go to the middle. Now if you take a right out of the Bay of Naples, under that little bridge there, you'll reach Long Lake. Which despite its name, it is not as long as Sebago Lake."
"Wow." Was all I managed to say. That's a lot of water.
"Feel free to use any of the boats tied up out there, and because of the generous denomination paid for this cabin, I will have a pontoon boat docked out there for your shortly." Frank turned to leave. "Any questions?"
"By 'pontoon boat' you mean…?" I was lost at that point, not to mention a little taken aback by what Frank meant by 'generous denomination'. How much does Edward plan on spending on us? They do too much for us.
"It's basically a boat that is floated by two big metal tubes. It sounds weird, I know. But I really like using those boats." Frank laughed. "Anything else?"
Jacob and I shook our heads.
"Alright then. I will let you guys 'honeymoon' in private." He elbowed Jacob and laughed on his way out.
Jacob turned to me smiling. "I like that guy!"
I sighed. "I know you do…"
Jacob walked up to me and put his arm around my waist, leading me out onto the porch overlooking the bay. The sun had set a while ago, the moon was shining brightly overhead, with thousands of twinkling stars lighting the night sky. "I think this is going to be a good honeymoon."
"Me too, Jacob. Me too."
-A/N-
Just thought I should let you know, that where Jacob and Terry are staying is where I went on vacation near the end of Endless Night. That's the only reason I've explained so much of the layout of the land, haha.
