I didn't know where I was but it warm and soft. The only thing was I couldn't move. I reached up to feel what it was and felt the pillows that my head was buried under. I sat up and looked thru my hair. Embry had his head buried under his pillows as well. And his leg was slung over my back. That's why I couldn't move.
"Embry." I whispered. He didn't move.
"Embry!" I said louder. I tried to move him but he was way too heavy. I slumped back down turned my face sideways. Jared wasn't in his bed and there was a note on his pillow. Embry's cell phone was on the bedside pillow. I reached for it but it was too far. I groaned in my pillow and went limp. Then I felt an uncomfortable feeling and panicked. If Embry didn't move I was going to have an embarrassing situation.
"Embry wake up please! I have to pee." I hissed trying to move him again. The only I could see to wake him up was going to be painful for him. At that moment I didn't really care.
"Please forgive me Embry but it's an emergency." I whispered before punching him where it hurt. He gasped and sat up straight. I sprang from the bed and ran to the bathroom before I wet my pants. I came out red with embarrassment. Embry was sitting on the edge of the bed hunched over with a pained expression.
"Why did you do that?" He asked.
"I had to pee." I muttered.
"Well why did you have to hit me… there?" He asked.
"You wouldn't wake up and I couldn't move you." I said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you like that." I sat down beside him and wrapped my arms around him. He relaxed and hugged me back.
"Where is Jared?" He asked. I reached over and grabbed the note.
I went out to get food. My phone doesn't get a signal here so I'm going to call Sam and see what's going on while I'm out. Be back soon.
"Good I'm hungry." I muttered when I finished the reading the note. Embry got up and ruffled my hair. I swiped at him but he moved quickly out of the way and smirked at me before shutting the bathroom door. I knelt down in front of my bag and dug thru it until I found my toothbrush and my brush. When was finished I went in there and brushed out my knotted hair, wincing at the knots. I hadn't blown it dry so it was all crimped and horrible looking. So I braided it and walked out to dig thru my bag for an elastic band. I couldn't though without letting go of my hair.
"Hey Embry come here for a second." I said. He had gotten dressed while I was in the bathroom. He wore a light blue t-shirt and jeans. He hadn't put his shoes on yet.
"What?" He asked kneeling down next to me. I held up the braided end of my hair.
"Hold this for me so I can look for something to hold it." I said.
"Yes ma'am." He said and I rolled my eyes then froze.
"Oh my gosh." I gasped putting my hand to my mouth. He looked worried.
"What?" He asked.
"I-I've turned into a controlling girlfriend." I gasped shakily. He gaped at me.
"What?" He finally asked.
"I have! I'm telling you what to do. I'm bossing you around! Oh Embry I'm so sorry." I gasped. He began laughing.
"Don't laugh at me!" I said slapping his arm with my free hand. Then I gasped and looked at him wide eyed.
"I did it again!"
"Clair! You're not controlling." He said getting hold of himself.
"I'm not?" I asked uncertain.
"No. You're a perfect girlfriend." He said kissing my forehead.
"Well I wouldn't say perfect." I said blushing. He laughed.
"Now what did you want again?" He asked.
"Would you mind holding my hair so I can look for a rube band or something to hold my hair so I don't have to redo it?" I asked. He laughed and nodded.
"No I don't mind Clair." He said and pinched the end of my braid. I let go and began searching. I finally found one. It was hard looking for one. I didn't really want to pull all my underwear out with him right there so I had to dig. Of course it was at the bottom.
"What are you doing?" I whipped my head around, startled at the voice. In the process I banged my head against Embry's and I gasped.
"I'm sorry!" "Are you okay?" We both said at the same time.
"I'm fine." I said embarrassed.
"It's okay." Embry answered with a chuckle. I grabbed my braid from his hand and looped the rubber band around it.
"What were doing?" Jared asked again setting a box of doughnuts down next to four white cups.
"I asked him to hold my hair while I looked for this." I answered holding up the end of my hair to show him the rubber band.
"Whatever. I got doughnuts and, Clair; I wasn't sure if you liked coffee or not so I got hot chocolate and a coffee for you just in case." He said opening the lids to see which was which.
"Coffee's fine." I said.
"Okay. As soon as you two eat, I already did, we'll leave." He said picking up his bag and looking thru it. I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to change. When I came out Embry had already devoured four doughnuts. I grabbed one and began eating. Jared went into the bathroom and grabbed all the toiletries we hadn't gotten out of there yet. He laid my shampoo and stuff on the bed and stuffed his and Embry's in their bags.
"Thanks." I muttered with a mouthful. Jared nodded and looked around for anything he might have left. When Embry and I were done eating, we thru away the doughnut box, Embry stuffing the last one in his mouth almost whole, piled our stuff in the back of the truck and Embry and I waited while Jared went to check us out of the hotel.
…...
"So… how much longer till we stop?" I asked. It had been four hours since we left the hotel. We were driving down a road that had thick trees on either side.
"When we have to." Jared answered. I'd asked this every ten minutes. First it was because I was bored, second I thought it was funny watching Jared's face turn from relaxed to annoyed; now… coffee always went right thru me. But I was too embarrassed to tell them I needed to stop. It really wasn't fare. How come werewolves had such huge bladders? It made me so mad! We drove for another ten minutes until I couldn't take it anymore. I gritted my teeth and crossed my legs.
"Pull over at the next gas station." I hissed.
"Why?" Jared asked watching the road in front of us with a bored expression.
"Because I have to pee." I hissed slowly.
"I wondered how long it would take before you gave in." Embry said with a laugh. I looked at him with a frown.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"We've known for the past two hours." Jared said laughing.
"How did you know?"
"You had a large coffee and half of the large hot chocolate. It wasn't hard. Plus you kept crossing your legs and whimpering every time we hit a bump." Embry answered.
"You're cruel. You know that? You both are stupid mean jerks! Because I don't have a bladder the size of Texas you have to put me thru torture!" I half yelled.
