So life went on. Though now, Jacob never complained to Chloe about spending time with Paul. In fact for the last few afternoons that Chloe planned to walk back home with Jacob, Embry and Quil. However, in the end it had just been her, Embry and Quil.
This was because Jacob had been basically running from school at the end of the day back home. Why? Because every day after school Bella was around and Jacob was build the death bikes with her. Yes, Chloe had told both their dads as she had said she would.
However, they didn't have the reaction that she thought they would have. Charlie seemed delighted that Bella was out of her room and with another person, he had no care if it include motorbikes. This while Billy seemed to only care if Jacob was going to be driving them on the road without a lenience.
This was not the reaction Chloe had hoped for but she knew that if the two were 'ok' with it then there really was nothing she could do to stop them from no doubt winding up injuring themselves. So this is what led Chloe, Embry and Quil walking back to the Black's house after School on Tuesday evening.
"I wonder what this girl looks like" Quil said outload as they neared the house. Chloe turned to look up at the boy with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean, you've met the girl before" Chloe stated puzzled. Quil looked at Chloe confused while Embry was in this own thoughts.
"Was she the girl that was sulking at the New Year bonfire? The one standing by the cute girl in pink?" Embry asked. This caused Quil to frown as he tried to remember the night, Chloe looked at Embry.
"'Cute girl in pink'? You mean Sabrina?" Chloe asked as she rose her eyebrow in tease. Embry caught on and if it wasn't for his copper skin Chloe would have said he had a slight blush.
"Yeah must be her, she's your cousin or something right" Embry said trying to be as off handed as he could but Chloe could see straight though him, she grinned.
"Yeah, but she's as related to me as Quil is" Chloe stated, not losing the smile from her face. "Though she's more like a sister to both me and Jacob" she hinted, Embry understood the protective meaning behind her word. 'Don't even think about messing around with her'. For Quil though it was lost.
"Wait I think I remember her now" he state finally causing Chloe and Embry to pay attention to him again. "The girl in long Black sleeves and looked like she hadn't spelt in a month" he continued. "Wait wasn't she the girl that went missing for like, a couple of hours back in September?" he asked.
"Yeah I remember, Jacob was freaking out the whole time from when he found out and until the head hall monitor found her" Embry said in realisation. Chloe rolled her eyes and the name didn't seem to stop coming back up when the older boys was talking about the wolf pack.
"Wait didn't that ruin one of your date with Lahote?" Quil asked Chloe only frowned.
"It didn't ruin the date, don't be so dramatic" Chloe said before giving a shrug. "Just took the night in a different direction" she explained. "Paul just took me to the beach to watch the sea for a bit instead of us going over his to watch a DVD" Chloe said as they neared the house. Quil looked to Embry.
"Remind me to thank the girl when I see her for that" Quil said with a playfully grin. Chloe gave a mock grasp and went to elbow the shorted of the two boys in the chest. It was a little harder than she remembered it being but didn't put any though behind it as the three started to laugh and chuckle.
"Yeah, yeah well you could always go do that now if you want" Chloe said nodding towards the garage. "I have no doubt that the two are in there as we are specking" she said, a slight hint of sharpness to her words that the boys did not miss.
"Why Chloe Black I due believe you are beginning to turn green with a little envy" Embry said as he lowered to look at her eye level.
"Why yes it does seem that way doesn't it" Quil joined in before engulfing her into a hug. "Do not worry I am sure that she has no claim on your beauty gorgeous" Quil said playful picking her up from the ground in the hug.
This caused Chloe to give out a small laugh in surprise. She looked to Embry and gave him a 'you caused this' look. Embry held up his hands in mock denial but the smirk on his face told Chloe clearly 'Playback is a Bitch'. But he didn't know just what he had caused.
Chloe knew that no matter how much she showered that night and the next morning she would not be getting a morning run. There would be no point even changing out of her Pyjamas to meet Paul in the treeline.
As soon as she would be in his range of smell (which would be before he even saw her) he would plan to claim her. He'd kiss her to everywhere h could reach, nipping and growling all the time his displeasure of her even faintly like Quil. Embry had no idea the chain reaction he had caused.
"Yeah, yeah, put me down Quil before you hurt yourself" Chloe said as she playfully but successfully squirmed out of his arms before mock punching Embry in the chest. For some reason she could tell that his chest was a lot harder the Quil's almost the same as Paul of Jared was. This made Chloe puzzled but she didn't spend much time thinking on it.
"You guys want to go wind Jacob up as he tries to impress Bella?" Chloe asked with a grin.
"Yeah!" both said before grabbing one of her arms each and practically speed marching her to the garage. They could two voiced inside and Embry grinned at both Chloe and Quil.
"Yo Jake, you in there?" he called as the three were just outside the door. Both let go of Chloe's arms and couldn't stop smirking at each other.
"No its ok, just my boys" the three heard Jacob said to the other person. The three chose this as the point to enter.
"Jake" Quil called to his friend. But, the boy seemed to stop as soon as he spotted the older girl.
"Hey, Guys this is Bella, Bella this is Quil and Embry" Jacob introduced pointing to each as speaking.
"I'm Quil Ateara" Quil added. Chloe rolled her eyes, knowing what tone he had just used.
'Well guess Paul won't have to worry too much anymore' Chloe thought as she gave a nod to jack which he returned with a slight annoyed look on his face. Chloe just gave a small grin knowing she had caused his reaction by bring his friends. She just shrugged as if she was innocent, which they knew wasn't true.
"So Bike building story's true" Quil continued as he finally moved his eyes from Bella, who looked uncomfortable form the staring to the two dismantled bikes laid out on the floor.
"Oh yeah, Yeah, taught him everything he knows" Bella tried to joke to not feel so uncomfortable.
"What about the part where you're his girlfriend?" Quil asked, everyone but Bella knowing that that Jacob had never 'officially' called Bella that, but he was embarrassed all the same.
"Urghh, we're friends" and Bella was back to felling uncomfortable.
"Owe, burn" Quil said facing both Embry and Chloe.
"Actually remember I said she's a girl and she's just a friend" Jacob said, embarrassed because he couldn't remember if he had slipped up around the guys about the fact, adding even more to the boy teasing.
"Embry do you remember him making that distinction" Quil asked playfully.
"No" Embry played along, both not turning form looking at Jacob, watching he become more embarrassed by each passing word. Even Chloe was enjoying to show.
"So guys have girlfriend, that's awesome" Bella added teasingly confidently, turning the tables.
'Honestly this girls moods are like a Yo-yo, blink and you'll miss the next one' Chloe thought to herself looking at the girl.
"Yeah right" Jacob said with a laugh bent over slightly. "Quil at this rate might be taking our cousin; Chloe here to prom" he stated looking form Quil to Chloe giving her a triumph look. "If Paul lets him" he added with a smirk to rub it in.
"Yeah that still be alright" Quil said putting on an act. "You want funny Black I'll give you funny" he said before going for Jacob about the chest, Jacob anticipating it also gripped around the other's stomach. Embry moved out of range and stood next to Bella, while Chloe moved closer to the door.
"Five bucks on Quil" Embry bet Bella as the two grabbled.
"You're on" Bella countered with a smile. Chloe looked at the four before shaking her head. At least the three was back together, even if Bella was added to the mix.
"Im going to go start making dinner, you guys are more than welcome to join, Billy won't care" Chloe said as she turned to leave but then looked over her shoulder to the only other girl. "You too Bella" and with that she left the red garage.
And as she knew would happen the next morning Paul did indeed smell Quil and Embry on her (though mostly because of Quil) which led to a very hot, slow but possessive make out session on what they both knew was THEIR tree. Good think she hadn't bothered to change out her pyjamas that morning.
Here is another few chapters. Please keep up the reveiws, they do put a smile on my face when i see them.
