I split these in two next chapters in half, don't know why but i didn't want them as one whole chapter. Also, I want to have the twins birthday somewhere soon but I'm not sure where to put it. During Breaking Dawn P1, between it and Eclipse or before graduation. Any suggestions?
Cat's POV.
It didn't take us long to get to Bella's at all, naturally I'd raced him, and won. I was at the door before he even had the chance to even think about phasing. He joined me not long after and I couldn't wipe the smirk off my face. He rung the doorbell and we heard Bella shout from the kitchen. I guessed she didn't hear us enter for she didn't turn around till Jake spoke
"Should you really leave your door unlocked like that?" he said, Bella jumped like a mile in the air, slopping dishwashing water all over herself "Oh sorry" he apologised
"I don't see why she needs to lock it, when her vampire boyfriend is less then two miles away" I shrugged, a grin on my face. I walked over to her and helped her clean the floor, though I did it my way and it all just evaporated by the heat.
"I'm not really worried about anyone who would be deterred by a locked door," Bella said, while she wiped the front of her shirt with a dishtowel.
"Good point," Jake agreed. Bella turned around and eyed him critically
"Is it really so impossible to wear clothes, Jacob?" she asked, I looked at him, not really noticing he'd only been wearing cut offs. "I mean, I know you don't get cold anymore, but still"
"She's right, you don't see me walking around in a tank top everywhere" I agreed, he raised an eyebrow and me and I just grinned
"What do you mean?" Bella asked me, I placed my hand on her cheek
"My temperature's just as high as there's" I shrugged
"Lucky" she grumbled, I grinned before she turned back to Jacob, he ran a hand through his wet hair, it was falling in his eyes as he noticed the topic was back on him
"It's just easier," he explained
"What's easier?" Bella questioned. Jacob smiled condescendingly
"It's enough of a pain to carry the shorts around with me, let alone a complete outfit. What do I look like, a pack mule?", I giggled, but Bella frowned, confused as to what he was talking about.
"What are you talking about, Jacob?" she asked. His expression was superior, and Bella looked like she realised she was missing something obvious.
"My clothes don't just pop in and out of existence when I change — I have to carry them with me while I run. Pardon me for keeping my burden light." Bella changed colour and I couldn't help but laugh.
"I guess I didn't think about that," she muttered. He laughed and pointed to a black leather cord, thin as a strand of yarn, that was wound three times below his left calf like an anklet. Bella looked at it surprised, I guessed that she hadn't noticed before that his feet were bare, too.
"That's more than just a fashion statement — it sucks to carry jeans in your mouth.". Bella stayed silent, but her silence caused Jake to grin
"Does my being half-naked bother you?" he asked her, while I tried to contain my giggles, he wink at me before returning his gaze to Bells
"No." Jacob laughed again, and Bella turned her back on him to focus on the dishes. I noticed her face was a little red, left over from embarrassment. I nudged her and flashed her a grin, but she just blushed harder.
"Well, I suppose I should get to work." Jacob sighed. "I wouldn't want to give him an excuse to say I'm slacking on my side."
"Jacob, it's not your job —" Bella began. He raised a hand to cut her off.
"I'm working on a volunteer basis here. Now, where is the intruder's scent the worst?"
"My bedroom, I think." she answered, I bit my lip and looked at Jacob who narrowed his eyes. Obviously he didn't like this idea.
"I'll just be a minute" and Jake left the room. Bella returned to her dishes.
"You two act differently" she eventually spoke
"How do you mean?" I wondered
"You and Jake, you're different to Sam and Emily" she said
"How so?" I wondered
"Sam and Emily, when I see them together, the way Sam looks at her, the way they act together. They're like the perfect couple. Two halves of a whole. Always looking lovingly towards one another. But you and Jake are different, you're more like best friends, as well as a couple." she explained, I shrugged
"I like how it is between us. Emily and Sam look gorgeous together, but… I don't know" I thought "Having him as my best friend, as well as my soul mate just sounds better then him being tied to me". She nodded for second, thinking about what I'd said. I heard Jacob shuffling above us, but he really was as silent as a mouse, it would have surprised me if Bella heard him. I took this silence to race upstairs for a second, I ran all around Bella's room, picking up the scent, not touching Jake and practically ignoring him, before I raced back downstairs and back to were I had been. Bella's hair moved a little from the breeze and she looked around as if looking for an open window. I just grinned but didn't say anything. Jacob came back down, not making a sound and a he had a puzzled expression on his face as he looked at me, my grin widened and I held up my finger, a tiny light appeared and shined. I knew he was confused as to how my scent appeared in Bella's room so suddenly. He watched the light before realising and rolling his eyes, as I lowered my hand. He walked up towards me
"Whew!" Jacob said, inches away, Bella jumped again as his presence startled her again
"Yeesh, Jake, cut that out!" she scolded
"Sorry. Here —" Jacob took the towel and mopped up Bella's new spill. "I'll make it up to you. You wash, I'll rinse…"
"And I'll dry" I grinned as we stood in a line, Jacob raised an eyebrow at me "What? I don't want to be the only one not doing anything, and evaporating water isn't difficult for me" I shrugged
"Fine." Bella agreed, handing Jacob the plate.
"Well, the scent was easy enough to catch. By the way, your room reeks."
"Only to you" I reminded him
"I'll buy some air freshener." Bella said, he laughed. We washed, rinsed and dried in silence for a while, only the clinking of the dishes made a sound.
"Can I ask you something?" Jake finally spoke up, I glanced at him for a second as Bella handed him another plate
"That depends on what you want to know." Bella answered
"I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything — I'm honestly curious," Jacob assured her.
"Fine. Go ahead." she allowed. Jake paused for half a second, sending me a look.
"What's it like — having a vampire for a boyfriend?" he wondered, Bella rolled her eyes.
"It's the best."
"I'm serious. The idea doesn't bother you — it never creeps you out?"
"Never." she admitted. I dried the plate he had handed me by sliding my finger tips over the surface, evaporating the water easily.
"Why would it be creepy?" I wondered "No different from dating a werewolf. Except for the temperatures" I shrugged, he looked at me for a second and I flashed a grin for a second before silence dawned for a little while. Jake reached for the bowl in Bella's hands, I noticed he was frowning, Bella did too as she took a peek at his expression, she looked at me but I just shrugged
"Anything else?" she asked, Jake wrinkled his nose
"Well . . . I was wondering . . . do you . . . y'know, kiss him?". Bella and I laughed.
"Yes." she answered
"Bit of a silly question" I agreed. Jake shuddered
"Ugh"
"To each her own" Bella murmured
"You don't worry about the fangs?" he wondered. I rolled my eyes and Bella smacked his arm, splashing him with dishwater, I ducked away from it.
"Shut up Jacob! You know he doesn't have fangs!" Bella scolded him
"Close enough" he muttered. This time I whacked him
"Stop being irritating Jacob, I don't worry about your claws"
"I don't have claws" he said, his face crinkled a little from his expression
"And Edward doesn't have fangs" I said, pointing out how stupid his question had been. Bella had gritted her teeth and was scrubbing the boning knife in her hand with more force the necessary. I sighed
"Can I ask another one?" Jacob asked softly after a few minutes of silence. Bella passed him the knife "Just Curious, again"
"Fine" Bella snapped. Jacob turned the knife over and over in his hands under the stream of water. When he spoke, his voice was only in a whisper
"You said in a few weeks… when, exactly…?" he couldn't finish his sentence. I frowned a little and looked at Bella, also curious as to her answer.
"Graduation" she whispered back. I looked at her surprised, that really was in a few weeks. I looked at Jake, I knew he wouldn't like this.
"So soon" he breathed, his eyes closing. It didn't sound like a question. It sounded like a lament. The muscles in his arms tightened and his shoulders were stiff. Suddenly the scent of blood hit my nose, wolf blood in fact.
"Jake!" I said noticing his hand; it had gotten so quiet that my sudden outburst caused Bella to jump a foot in the air.
"OW!" he shouted.
"Dude, really?" I asked. His right hand had curled into a tense fist around the blade of the knife - he unclenched his hand and the knife clattered onto the counter. Across Jake's palm was a long deep gash. The blood streamed down his fingers and dripped on the floor.
"Damn it! Ouch!" he complained
"You idiot. That's your own fault" I muttered taking his hand in mine. Bella clung to the counter top with one do her hands, taking a deep breath in through her mouth as she stared at his hand.
"Oh, no, Jacob! Oh crap! Here, wrap this around it!" Bella shoved the dish towel at him and tried to take his hand from mine. Jacob just shrugged away from us both. I had his blood all over my hands now.
"It's nothing, Bella, don't worry about it" he assured her. I knew he'd heal in a few minutes, but I realised that Bella didn't seem to know about this. Bella took a deep breath, I had only just realised she'd been holding it in,
"Don't worry?! You sliced your hand open!" she worried. Jacob ignored the dishtowel she pushed at him again. He put his hand under the faucet and let the water wash over the wound. The water ran red. I was keeping my hands away from everything as the blood quickly dried on them from my hot temperature.
"Bella" Jacob said. Bella looked away from Jacob's hand and at his face, he was frowning, but his expression was calm.
"What?"
"You look like you're going to pass out, and you're biting your lip off. Stop it. Relax. Breath. I'm fine" he promised. Bella inhaled through her mouth and removed her teeth from her lower lip
"Don't be brave" she said, I sighed and grinned. Jake rolled his eyes in response also
"Let's go. I'll drive you to the ER" Bella decided "Cat, you call Billy", I gave her a look
"Not necessary" Jake was about to turn off the water when I shoved my hands under it, washing off his blood. Jake took the towel from Bella's hand and twisted it loosely around his palm.
"Wait" Bella protested "Let me look at it" she clutched the counter more firmly, holding herself upright as I turned off the water and my hands dried in a snap.
"Do you have a medical degree that you never told me about?" Jacob wondered
"Just give me the chance to decide whether or not I'm going to throw a fit over taking you to the hospital" she ordered. Jake made a face of mock horror and I grinned leaning against the counter.
"Please, not a fit" he said
"If you don't let me see your hand, a fit is guaranteed" she promised. Jake inhaled deeply and looked at me, I gestured for him to listen to her and he let out a gusty sigh.
"Fine" he agreed. He unwound the towel and, when Bella reached out to take the cloth, he laid his hand in her's. She looked at it for a few seconds. She flipped his hand over looking at the back. The cut had completely healed. Bella finally seemed to realise that the angry pink, puckered line was all that was left of his wound.
"But… you were bleeding… so much" she said confused. Jake pulled his hand back, his eyes steady and somber on her's.
"I heal fast" was all he said
"I'll say" she mouthed. I grinned and Jacob screwed up his mouth into a half smile and thumped his fist once against his chest
"Werewolf, remember?"
"Right" she finally said. Jake laughed at her expression
"I told you this. You saw Paul's scar". Bella shook her head
"It's a little different, seeing the acton sequence firsthand" she said, he shrugged
"You should see Cat. Paul broke her ribs and they healed within half a hour" he gestured to me. I rolled my eyes
"Don't change the topic to me" I scolded
"How?" Bella asked me
"Electricity. I can use it to speed up my healing cells" I shrugged. Bella looked at me for a while. Her face became plain as she kneeled down and dug the bleach our of the cabinet under the sink. She poured some on the dusting rag and started scrubbing the floor. I backed up a little, pinching my nose, the smell of bleach reaching it.
"Let me clean up" Jacob said
"I got this" Bella assured him "Throw that towel in the wash, will you?" when the floor smelled of nothing but bleach, completely masking the smell of blood, Bella got up and rinsed the right side of the bench with bleach too. She walked to the laundry closet beside the pantry, and poured a cupful into the washing machine before starting it. I glanced at Jake, he had a disapproving look on his face
"Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" he asked when she was done. I rolled my eyes at his lack of info. She had a vampire as a boyfriend and he had just spilt blood everywhere.
"We're a bit sensitive to blood around here. I'm sure you can understand that" she reminded him
"Oh" he wrinkled his nose again.
"Why not make it as easy as possible for him? What he's doing is hard enough" she continued
"Sure, sure. Why not?". I shot Jacob a look as Bella pulled the plug, and let the dirty water from the sink"
"Can I ask you something, Bella?" Jacob asked again
"You just did" I muttered, he rolled his eyes at me as Bella sighed
"What's it like - having a werewolf for a best friend?" he wondered. Bella laughed out loud
"Does it creep you out?" Jacob pressed before she could answered
"No. When the werewolf is being nice," she clarified "it's the best". Jacob grinned widely, his teeth bright against his russet skin
"Thanks, Bella" he said, he grabbed Bells hand and pulled her into a hug. Before she could even begin to hug him back Jake dropped his arms and stepped away
"Ugh" his nose wrinkled "Your hair stinks worse then your room". I laughed
"I hope Edward doesn't say that to me" I admitted
"Sorry" Bella muttered.
"One of the many hazards of socialising with vampires," Jacob said, shrugging "It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively". Bella glared at him
"I only smell bad to you, Jake" she muttered
"Gonna say, she smells fine to me" I grinned, placing my arm over her shoulder
"Can I ask a question this time?" Bella wondered, she was looking at me, I raised an eyebrow
"What's it like to date a werewolf?". I grinned
"Warm… or at least it would be if I was normal. Otherwise it's pretty hot, I mean look at all those muscles" I whispered grinning. Jake couldn't keep the grin off his face "I don't think it would be that different o dating a vampire, they're both supernatural, just ones warm and tanned, the others cold and pale" I shrugged. Jacob rolled his eyes
"See you around, Bells". I pouted "You don't need to leave" he said to me
"It would be kind of awkward if I didn't" I sighed
"Are you leaving?" Bella asked
"He's waiting for me to go. I can hear him outside" Jacob explained
"Oh"
"You do know he's been there for like five minutes" I said, Jake just shrugged
"I'll go out the back" he said pointing over his shoulder. He walked forwards and took my hand, I reached out to Bella as he pulled me away but she grinned and waved instead of doing it back like I'd wanted her too. I crashed into Jake who had stopped walking and rubbed my nose
"Why do you always do that?" I complained
"Sorry" he smiled before turning to Bella
"Hey, do you think you can come to LaPush tonight?" I looked at him confused "We're having a bonfire party"
"We are?" I asked, he nodded
"Emily will be there, and you could meet Kim… and I know Quil wants to see you, too. He's pretty peeved that you found out before he did" Jake said, addressing Bella. I thought. Quil didn't seem annoyed at that. He wasn't annoyed at me at least. Bella grinned, but after a bit of thinking, she sighed.
"Yeah, Jake, I don't know about that. See it's a little tense right now…" she began
"C'mon, you think somebody's going to get past all - all six of us?" Jacob asked "Plus, nothing get's past Cat, it's ridiculously difficult to scare her like I do you" I smirked triumphantly, he was right. Bella looked at me and I grinned at her
"I'll ask," she said doubtfully, Jacob made a noise in the back of his throat
"Is he your warden, now, too? You know, I saw this story on the news last week about controlling, abusive teenage relationships and —"
"Okay!" Bella cut him off before shoving his arm "Time for the werewolf to get out!". Jacob grinned
"Well if he says 'no', then I'm going to come and kidnap you. I promise I'll leave a note so that he doesn't freak" I decided
"Why you?" Jacob asked
"Cause I'm the only one allowed over the line, without permission. And I'm the only one who can get past a vampire undetected" I explained. He seemed to want to argue with me for a while before sighing.
"Bye, Bells." he waved to her "Be sure to ask permission" he grinned and pulled me out the door, ducking under it himself
"See you later Bella!" I called, I was suddenly surrounded by trees as Jacob had pulled me too them. We walked hand in hand for a while
"I didn't know there was a bonfire tonight" I confessed
"Didn't you? I could have sworn I told you" he grinned, I rolled my eyes at him and we walked in silence.
Sophie's POV.
I walked out of Emily's house. She had been home alone, cooking as usual for the bonfire that was tonight. Embry had invited me to it two nights ago, I guess it was a good reason I was going off to his house. I had come to Emily's house to actually find out where my 'almost boyfriend' actually lived. It was stupid to say 'almost boyfriend', we were soul mates and no one else was ever going to get him. I was never gonna let him go. Plus he couldn't get away from me even if he tried, not that I think he has any power in him to do so, thanks to the imprinting. I walked casually through the trees. I had decided that if Embry's mother didn't know about me then it wouldn't be smart to just turn up, or at least, let her see me turn up.
"Embry sneaks into my room all the time. Might be fun if I did it for a change" I smirked. After realising what I said I groaned. Cat was really rubbing off on me. I found Embry's house, checking every detail about it that Emily had given me to make sure I didn't jump in through some randoms window. I guess all I had to do was smell his scent, which was everywhere, and I knew I had it right. Because of this it didn't take long to figure out which was his window, he'd climbed in and out of it so many times his scent was kind of stuck there. I could hear him inside and I looked around to check no one was watching before floating up to the window. It was open as Embry had to constantly go out it, opening and closing it would be a pain. I slipped in, feet first and landed very lightly and quietly, the first thing I did was turn invisible. Embry wasn't the one in the room, there was a women, who looked a lot like him, cleaning up a little. I guessed this was his mother. I could see he had her eyes and tall figure, but I noticed that she didn't look like the other Quileutes
"Maybe she isn't Quileute?" I thought. She left the room not long after and I took the opportunity to take a look around. It was anything but plain. There were posters of motorbikes and cars on the walls, a few photos of Embry, Quil and Jacob here and there. His bed was a complete mess, though it didn't look like he slept in it often
"Especially seeing as he spends the nights with me" I smiled. The door creaked and I turned to see Embry standing there, he looked confused. His nose wrinkled for a second before he looked around. After a few seconds recognition hit his face and he crossed his arms and sighed. I grinned and my illusion charade ended, allowing him to see me.
"What are you doing?" he asked grinning
"Hey, you sneak in my room all the time, you can't talk" I crossed my arms
"Why were you hiding?" he asked
"Well, physically I wasn't…" he rolled his eyes and I smiled "You're mum was in here. You look a lot like her you know". He shrugged. "I like your room by the way" I said looking around
"Tiny compared to your's" he said taking a few steps towards me
"But your's feels nicer, mine's wide and open, your's is small and home-ish" I admitted
"Which is another way of saying poor" Embry thought, I looked at him annoyed
"That makes me think, that you think, I'm shallow" I admitted. He had reached me now and placed a hand on my cheek
"Anything but" he said softly. I couldn't help but smile at him, he leaned in to kiss me but I looked away and at the door before disappearing. Embry looked up and down were I was standing, only he couldn't see me. I removed his hand from my face just as his mother appeared in his doorway.
"Is there anything specific you'd like for lunch?" she wondered, Embry shook his head
"Anything will do"
"Alright" and she walked away again. The second she was gone I turned his head and planted my lips on his, not becoming visible till after I'd done this. I wondered if that was weird for him, kissing someone he couldn't see, but he kissed me back the second he could see me again and wrapped his arms around my torso. Mine went up and around his neck, running my fingers through his short hair. It didn't matter how often it happened, but I always forgot that he needed to breath sooner then I did.
"You're a danger to be around" he muttered as he gasped to fill his lungs
"And you're not?" I raised an eyebrow
"I'm not going to cause you to pass out" he admitted
"Sorry. I just don't know your limits. Looks like I keep overestimating you" I smirked. He rolled his eyes at me "Hey, it's better then underestimating you"
"True" he smiled.
"By the way. Why doesn't you mum know about you? Everyone else's parents seem to" I remembered, he sighed
"My mothers not from here. She's of the Makah tribe, up in Alaska, she's not Quileute. She moved down here while she was pregnant with me" he explained. I felt my forehead crease with confusion
"Then how…" he shrugged. How was Embry a part of the pack if… "Who's your dad?" I wondered, he frowned and shrugged again
"There's a bit of mishap about that" he admitted
"Your mum never told you?" I asked sadly, he shook his head. He shrugged for a third time but, it was more of a 'what ever' shrug then anything else. "Well, that's a mystery, the mysterious wolf" I grinned, he smiled back at me a little happier then a minute earlier.
"So, how is it you've been getting away with staying with me every night?" I questioned, he didn't answer me "You sneak out don't you?" I muttered
"I don't have a choice, I have to for my patrols anyway" he admitted
"I'm guessing that worries her" I mumbled, he nodded
"I'm sure she's just worrying about you." I said positively "All mothers do. In fact my mother worries about everyone" I rolled my eyes
"She just cares"
"Too much" I added,
"Better too much, than too little" he smiled
"Wise words" I said seriously before grinning.
"So why did you come in through the window?" he finally asked. I'd been waiting for this question
"Well, I decided I wanted to see what all the fuss was about" I shrugged, he raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes
"I thought it might be awkward if I showed up and met your mum if you hadn't told her anything about me" I fessed up "Would have been kind of awkward if I had turned up and said 'Hey, my name's Sophie Mitchell, I'm you sons soul mate, I'm here to see him…' blah, blah, blah and so on" I rambled
"That wouldn't go down to well" Embry nodded in agreement
"That's why I came in through the window" I said
"How'd you know where I lived?" he suddenly realised
"You make it sound like I'm some random" I said annoyed "I asked Emily. Which is really upsetting seeing as I'm your soul mate and I don't know where you live, that you're a first generation Fork-ian… LaPush-ian, about your dad, or your mum. It makes me feel like I don't know you at all" I frowned
"LaPush-ian?" he asked, an eyebrow raised
"Well you've got 'American', 'European', 'African', 'South Arabian', 'Australian', so I just added 'ian' on the end" I shrugged, I was a little annoyed he'd kind of just changed the subject, but when he began to chuckle I couldn't find it in me to stay annoyed at him.
"We're still on for the bonfire right?" he asked, still off the topic
"Course"
"And you're not gonna go all…" I whacked him before he could finish his sentence
"You should now know that it's not my fault. I bet Cat would do the same thing if she was in molten lava" I released my arms from his neck and crossed them over my chest, turning away from him. It really wasn't my fault I zoned out sometimes when I was around both my elements. Cat was lucky in that aspect, while my elements worked together in harmony, Cat's couldn't. You couldn't have earth and fire together, fire destroys the earth, like lava and magma. I think the only time they are together is when you have an awful earth quake that splits the earth in two, exposing the lava underneath. But how often did that happen?
"I'm sorry" he said, placing his hands on my shoulders and turning me so that I was facing him again "This bonfire is actually different so I don't think you'll have the chance to go for a swim"
"Different how?" I wondered, ignoring the fact that he was teasing me
"It's a council meeting. Instead of the last one which was just for fun" he shrugged
"Does you mum know you're going?" I wondered, Embry nodded
"She knows I'm going to a bonfire with Jake, Quil and a few others" he admitted
"The same lie everyone other normal person knows" I smiled, he shrugged
"It's better if she doesn't know anyway" he said
"Why?" I wondered
"She worries now, imagine how much she'd worry if she found out her son was hunting vampires?" he explained
"Good point" I muttered "I know my mother would freak if she found out her best friends kids were giant wolves, her daughters were each dating one. We went to school with vampires and her husband was friends with both" I grinned
"Thats a lot of supernatural around one family, but you forgot about yourself and Cat" he reminded me, I sighed, I didn't know what we were going to do if they ever found all of that out.
"They'd totally freak, might even need to go to a mental ward or something" I muttered, he grinned
"I'm sure it wouldn't get that bad" he thought
"You said so yourself, that's a lot of supernatural for one family" I reminded him
"Yeah, but they're your parents. You were fine with it all…"
"Cause we aren't normal" I reminded him
"Well you'd have to get the gene somewhere, or you wouldn't be able to do any of it" I thought about that
"But, they seem too, normal" I confessed
"Except that you're as rich as the bloodsucking Cullens who have been around for centuries" he disagreed "And don't forget all those books" he added
"It's not difficult to read that many books" I confessed "I can read three in a day if I wanted to"
"Then you obviously have to much time on your hands" Embry grinned
"Not anymore I don't" I mock pouted
"Well, sorry" he said stepping back
"Never said it was your fault" I smirked
"You were thinking it"
"Oh mind reader are we?"
"No. Your expression just said it all" he shrugged. I turned my nose to the air and walked back towards the window. I heard him step towards me and his arms were around my waist
"Where are you going?" he pouted
"I was going to leave, I didn't see the point in staying if you were just going to tease me" I admitted
"Don't leave, I'm sorry" he apologised, I eyed him for a minute before grinning and placing my lips on his quite eagerly. He happily kissed me back
"Wow, I should upset you more often" he grinned
"You do that and you'll become a popsicle" I smirked, he raised an eyebrow and I nodded seriously.
"I'm a dangerous girl"
"Which is so hot" he confessed, I gave him a look
"Never had that compliment before", he grinned
"That's cause it's not even close enough to describe you"
"Well, I think 'hot' isn't the right word. I'm too 'chilled' for that" I smirked, he rolled his eyes and my smirk increased.
Third Person POV.
Jacob's rabbit sat on the side of the road, Jacob leaned against the back, Cat was leaning against the side door. She looked a little irritated. The silver volvo rounded the corner of the road, Bella waved from the front seat and Jacob's expression formed a smile. Cat waved back, a smile appearing on her face. Edward parked his volvo about thirty yards away, safely away from crossing the treaty line.
"Call me whenever you're ready to come home," Edward said to Bella from within the car "And I'll be here"
"I wont be out late" Bella promised. They got out of the car and Edward walked around to the trunk of his car. He pulled out a red bike, helmet and padded jacket. Cat and Jacob watched
"How did he fit that bike in his car?" Cat wondered. Bella tucked the red helmet under her arm and laid the jacket over the seat of bike.
"Do you have it all?" Edward asked
"No problem" Bella assured him. Edward sighed and leaned towards Bella, she turned her face up towards him, waiting for a peck but Edward took her by surprise and lock his arms around her waist, kissing her with more enthusiasm then she'd expected. Before long Bella was gasping for air. Edward laughed quietly and released Bella.
"Goodbye" Edward said to her "I really do like the jacket" Bella turned around and walked towards Cat and Jacob
"You alright Cat?" she wondered
"I'm fine" she shrugged before glaring at the rabbit behind her
"Don't you like it?" Bella wondered noticing Cat's glare
"No. It's fine. It's just that mine's better" Cat admitted "But someone…" Cat pointed her look obviously at Jacob "…wouldn't let me bring it" Jacob rolled his eyes
"What's wrong with the rabbit?" Bella questioned
"Nothing. Just mines faster"
"Need for speed" Bella smiled
"Well… yeah" Cat nodded grinning.
"What's all that?" Jacob called to Bella, his voice wary, scrutinising the motorcycle with an enigmatic expression.
"I thought I should put this back where it belongs," Bella told him. Jacob pondered that for one short second, and then his wide smile stretched across his face. Cat walked up to Bella, before she was across the treaty line and took the helmet and jacket from her
"Thanks" Bella said, Cat shrugged
"No problem". The second they crossed the treaty line Jacob pushed off the car and walked towards them. He took the bike from Bella, balanced it on the kickstand, and grabbed Bella up in another vice-tight Volvo's engine growl, and Bella struggled to get free.
"Cut it out, Jake!" she gasped breathlessly. He laughed and set her down. Bella turned to wave goodbye, but the silver car was already disappearing around the curve in the road.
"Nice," Bella commented, allowing some acid to leak into her voice. Jacob's eyes widened in false innocence.
"What?", Cat rolled her eyes
"He's being pretty dang pleasant about this; you don't need to push your luck." Bella reminded him
"I agree" Cat muttered getting into the car. Jacob sighed
"It's just a car, you can drive yours next time"
"Just a car? Since when is anything 'just a car' to you?" Bella wondered
"Good question" Cat sang from the car. Jacob grinned and he easily placed the bike on the rabbit as Bella got into the rabbit. Cat and Jacob weren't exactly fighting. It was like a child who had wanted candy and then began to sulk when it wasn't allowed any. At least that was how Cat was acting. It didn't last long, not long after Jake had started driving he began to tease Cat, she grumbled for a while but couldn't keep the smile off her face. They went to Jacob's house, dropping off the bike and leaving the car. Jacob had liked the idea of the helmet, and even became a little annoyed that he didn't think of the idea.
"Hellooooo" the three of them turned around to see Sophie skip into the garage, followed by Embry.
"Hey Bells" she greeted, hugging her
"Hey, Vampire Girl" Embry grinned
"Embry" Bella nodded with a smile
"You coming to the party too?" Embry wondered, Bella nodded
"Did you know about this 'party'?" Cat asked her twin, Sophie nodded
"What? Didn't you?" Sophie questioned confused, Cat shook her head and sent a mock glare in Jacob's direction. Jacob grinned and approached her, pulling her into a hug
"I'm sorry" he pouted "Forgive me?"
"I think I already did" Cat grumbled
"Then why are you still holding a grudge?" Embry wondered, Cat shrugged
"Cause I can" she grinned "Alright! Time to go!" she decided
"How are we getting there?" Bella wondered
"We're walking"Jacob grinned
"Great exercise" Sophie smiled. They got moving and Bella watched as Cat walked gracefully through the forest, almost like she was a part of it. She looked as graceful as the vampires did. Sophie was also, but not like Cat.
