BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S

CHAPTER 18

SAVANNAH P.O.V

I stood in our living room looking around. Seth was at work and I had an hour before my shift at the shop so I was trying to figure out how I could hang some pictures or something. The walls were a beige color and had nothing hanging on them. We needed to spice up this place a little bit.

I sighed before going off to get dressed and leaving out the front door. I stopped for a coffee and got Dad a donut before heading into the shop and through the back to the office.

"Hi." I smiled handing him the bag and he stood up so I could sit.

"Hello. I made a pile of the things that I would like you start for today. You most likely won't be able to finish it all today." The shop closed at 6 but dad always stuck around for another hour cleaning or tidying things and he expected me to do the same. With classes and working and trying to plan a wedding I felt like I didn't have any time for Seth anymore.

I started on my work and within an hour Seth texted me asking what I wanted for dinner. Usually he would wait until I got home to cook but on rare nights he ate before I got there and set a plate aside for me.

'Wanna just order takeout?' I texted. 'Or I could pick something up on my way home.' I added. I felt like we were already a married couple with how domesticated we were these days. It scared me a little.

'No I wanna cook for you.' He said and added a happy face. I smiled. He was so cute.

'Chicken parm then.' I answered. Dad came into the office after closing to help me finish up a few things before sending me on my way.

Once I got home I unlocked the front door and was expected to smell chicken parm and have Seth waiting in the kitchen for me. But instead he was standing at the end of the hall with an expression that should have made me done a 180 and walk right back out to my car.

"Is everything oka-"

"What the fuck did you do to the wall?!" He screamed. My eyes widened. I had hung up one picture and then couldn't decide on where the other's were going to go. "We rent this place, Savannah! You can't be smashing into the walls!" He shouted more. Tears sprang in my eyes as I looked at the rage that was shaking his entire body.

"I hung up one picture." I whispered. It was a picture of us from when I was a baby and I was sitting on his lap playing with his hair trying to eat it.

"Well now it's smashed to pieces on the floor and the wall is fucked." I slowly walked towards him and glanced at the wall that had a hole in it from where the nail must have dragged down when the picture fell. The picture was on the floor, glass was still scattered around the floor and some of it was on a chair. "You're gonna clean this up and fix the wall."

"I don't know how to fix a wall." My dad had taught me some things but it was mostly how to fix cars and to protect myself. He never taught me how to fix a wall.

"Well figure it out." He shouted handing me a broom and stormed off up the stairs. I swept up the glass before grabbing the vacuum and cleaning up the smaller pieces that I couldn't grab with the broom. Then I called dad.

"What's up?" He said into the phone.

"Um, how do you fix a hole in a wall?" I asked. He was silent on the other side.

"How big is the hole?" I shrugged.

"I don't know maybe about the size of my palm." I answered. "Just tell me how to fix it. Seth's mad at me."

"I'll come over and fix it." He answered. "What did you do?"

"I hung up a picture." I answered. I guess I learned my lesson and would never do that again. "And now he's mad at me."

"He has every right to be mad."

"I didn't know it was going to break the wall." I defended myself. "Just please come over and fix it for me."

"I'll be over soon. I'm gonna finish dinner with mom then I will come."

"Okay, thank you." I sniffled. I knew that if the wall wasn't fixed by tomorrow that I would probably have to sleep in the guest bedroom until it was fixed. I was in the dog house for sure.

I stood in the kitchen making the chicken trying to be as quiet as possible and waiting for dad to get here.

"I told you to fix the wall not make yourself food." He said coming into the kitchen to grab a beer.

"And I told you that I didn't know how to fix the wall."

"Figure it out, Savannah! You wanna act grown and you don't even know how to fix a wall." I hated when he threw my age at me. "You're not sleeping in my bed with me until that wall is fixed."

"Why is it such a big deal? Eventually it will be fixed."

"And what happens if they come in to check to make sure that everything is okay? They're gonna freak out if there's a hole in the wall!" I rolled my eyes. He was overreacting.

"They have to give you warnings before they come in to look at everything. It's not like they're coming in an hour. Can you relax? I'll handle it." He huffed.

"You know what, maybe you should go stay with your parents tonight." His words made my stomach drop.

"What?" I asked looking at him. I didn't have anything left at my parents house. No clothes. No shoes. No nothing. Everything I owned was here. "No."

"I don't want to see you right now."

"Then go upstairs." I growled at him. My skin was getting the hottest it had ever been. My body began shaking but I knew that nothing beyond this would happen. I had never been able to phase. Then the front door opened and dad came through with a few bags.

He saw us both standing in the kitchen, me holding a fork and probably looking like I was going to stab Seth in the neck with it.

"I see you called back-up."

"Yeah. He's here to fix the wall because you're acting like a 12 year old who wouldn't do it." I said turning back to my chicken.

"I told you to fix it yourself."

"Stop being a dick!" I shouted.

"Stop being a bitch!"

"Watch it Clearwater." Dad narrowed his eyes at him. "That's my daughter you're talking to and I am not afraid to kill you a little." Seth shoved passed dad and went up to our shared bedroom and locked the door. "Didn't realize he was that pissed off about it."

"Yeah well." I commented showing him the hole.

"That's nothing." He commented as he got to work. I wouldn't be hanging any more pictures but I watched him fix it anyway for future use. "Next time you gotta look for a stud first and then hammer in a nail. It'll help support the frame a lot more. You nailed into the dry wall, which does nothing."

"There won't be a next time. I learned my lesson." I wasn't sure if I should take my chicken and go home with him like Seth asked. I looked down and played with my fingers.

"What happened? Did he say something else before I got here?" I nodded.

"He doesn't want me to stay here tonight. He told me to go stay with you."

"What do you want to do?" He asked and I shrugged. "You can always stay with us you know that."

"I know but I live here and if he can't handle that then he shouldn't have proposed to me and asked me to move in." I looked at him. "I'll come with you." I whispered.

"Okay." Dad said looking up at the ceiling.

"Let me just pack for class tomorrow." I commented. "Can you put that chicken away for me?" I asked. I went up the guest closet and picked something that I could wear to class and then to work. I folded them into a bag before heading down the stairs. I left a note for Seth even though he probably heard the entire conversation.

"Ready?"

"Yeah. I'll just take my car though." I grabbed my keys and headed out the door locking it behind me.

"He's always been the type to want alone time." Dad said making me roll my eyes. Everyone always said that any time he didn't want to be around me but it was bullshit.

"I'll just give him the night to calm down. The wall is fixed. I'll repaint it tomorrow. He'll be fine." I shrugged getting into the car. I drove to my parents house and parked on the street before going inside.

"Sav? Where's Seth?" Mom asked as she was sitting in the living room with Finn watching a show. "Why do you have a bag?"

"He's at home. We got into a fight and he said I should spend the night here. Do you have any sheets and blankets for my bed?" I asked.

"Yeah in the closet next to Ryder's room." She commented. "Is everything okay?" She asked just as dad walked in.

"Broke the wall."

*JACOB P.O.V*

I walked into the house to find Bella on the couch. I could hear Savannah upstairs banging around.

"What happened?" Bella asked.

"They got into a fight and Seth told her to stay away for the night." I answered plopping down beside her. "I think it really hurt her but she doesn't want to make it seem like it did." I whispered.

"Should I go check on her?" She asked.

"No. Give her a little time." I answered. She stood and handed Finn to me.

"I'm gonna go to bed." She leaned down and rested her hands on my shoulder's kissing me. "Wake me if she needs me." I stayed up for another hour listening but I heard nothing. Until I as finally about to be asleep and her phone rang.

*SETH P.O.V*

"Just come back, baby. I'm sorry." I said into the phone. I didn't think she was actually going to leave for the night.

"I'm not coming back. It's late and I have class tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow for dinner. There's chicken in the fridge that you can take for lunch."

"I'm sorry." I ran my hand through my hair. I knew I overreacted but if she would have just waited for me we wouldn't have gotten into a fight in the first place. "Come home."

"I'll see you tomorrow. Good night." And with that she hung up. I'm a dumbass. I huffed and slipped on a shirt and a pair of sweatpants before grabbing my keys. I quickly drove to her house and before I could even get on the porch, Jacob was at the door.

"You son of a bitch."

"Oh shut up, Jake." He laughed and moved out of the way.

"I know you wouldn't be able to stay away from her." He said rocking Finn a little faster.

"Be quiet." I grumbled heading up to her old room.

"Leave." She said before I even got to the door.

"No." I said opening the door and closing and locking it behind me. "You're stuck with me." I answered taking my shirt and pants off and laying beside her.

"You annoy me." She said but still rolled into me as I wrapped my arms around her. "It was just a wall."

"I know and I'm sorry. I panicked." She rolled her eyes and leaned up a little to look at me. I could see right down her shirt and of course I had to peek.

"Don't."

"I can't help it." I rubbed her back with my left hand and cupped her face with my right and kissed her. "We could totally have some bomb ass makeup sex." I whispered against her lips.

"My dad is still awake." She said.

"You'll just have to be quiet." I answered pushing her down and kissing her. I moved from her nips to her neck making her moan as I slipped my hand into her shorts. She arched her back and covered her mouth as I fingered her. I sat back to watch her face.

"More." She breathed out taking her tank top off. I smirked before sliding her shorts off and biting her thigh as I got between her legs. "I haven't showered today."

"I don't care." I said before sucking on her clit. I held her legs open so she wouldn't trap my head between her thighs like she often does. She grabbed my hair with both hands and held me to her. I used one hand to finger her with two finger's.

"I'm gonna-" Her moan cut her off as she orgasmed over my finger's. I pulled back shocked. That was the fastest I have ever been able to get her to orgasm with my fingers and mouth.

"Well damn. I am good."

"Shut up." She covered her face as she blushed. "I don't have any condoms here." She commented.

"Who cares." I whispered. "I'll pull out like I normally do." I confirmed. Of course more often than not we used condoms but on the off chance that we don't I usually pulled out.

"Nah." She said rolling onto her stomach and pulling the blanket up.

"Are you kidding?" I asked.

"I'm really not." She answered.

"You're not even gonna suck me off or anything?" I asked.

"Nope." She closed her eyes and sighed in content at my misery.

"Wow." I rolled away from her and stood up. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." I huffed before leaving the room. I so badly wanted to rip the door off the hinges but this wasn't my house and I didn't want to wake everyone up.

"Did you honestly think that you were just gonna come over here, say you were sorry and then have sex with her?" Jacob asked. "She's not a puppet."

"She seemed fine when I went in there." I said. "But fine, I'll leave her alone." He sighed and shook his head.

"You shouldn't have kicked her out." He shrugged.

"Can it, Jacob." He just laughed.

"Wait." Savannah said from the top of the stairs. "Come back to bed." Her voice said in barely a whisper.

"Are you gonna be mean?" I asked standing on the bottom step of the stairs. I could see her bare legs from where I was standing.

"No. Just come to bed." She whined. I sighed before walking up the stairs finding her naked. My eyes widened as I covered her body with mine.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I whispered shouted at her as I lifted her by her hips and carried her into her room. "Have you lost your mind?" I asked closing the door and locking it. She giggled before shoving me onto the bed and taking my pants off. "Sav." I tried to stop her but she covered my mouth with her hand.

"I'm gonna ride you." She whispered kissing me and pumping me in her small hand. I groaned as she took me in her mouth. I would never get used to the sight of seeing her do that. Her lips wrapped around me and her cheeks hallowed. She looked up at me from under her long dark lashes before pulling off of me with a pop. "I love you." She whispered right against the lips as she sat on my stomach.

"I love you." I ran my hand up her back, over her ribs and took a handful of her boob in my hand. "Are you sure you wanna ride me?" I asked her. She nodded her head before taking me in her hand again and positioning me at her entrance. She sank down on me making me moan. She attached her lips to my neck as she ground herself into me. I held her hips helping guide her. She of course didn't need my help but anything to get my hands on her.

Her moans came out in small breath's as she bounced and rested her hands on my stomach.

"You feel so good." She whispered looking down at me. Her brown eyes somehow became darker as she looked at me. Her skin seemed to glow under the moonlight and her boobs looked much rounder with the way her arms pressed into them. I sat up and grabbed her holding her to me as I thrust into her. She kept her head in my neck as she moaned. "Oh god!" She shouted just once which made me stop my movement.

"Sh baby." I kissed her lips lightly. I rolled us so she was on her side and I held her leg up as I thrust into her from behind. She bit a pillow to mask her moans as I played with her clit. She clenched around me making me hiss. Her orgasm came fast and hard. I pulled out and jack myself off onto her back.

We laid there breathing before I got up and grabbed a wipe to wipe her back off. I laid back down next to her and pulled her into me.

"I love you." I whispered kissing her head.

"I love you more." She smiled looking at me. "I'm sorry about the wall."

"I overreacted." I sighed rubbing her back lightly. "It's just a wall. There's worse things in the world."

"Yeah like you thinking I was going to make you leave with blue balls." She laughed. I shook my head and looked at the ceiling.

"When we got engaged I promised you that you would never have to sleep alone again." I looked at her. "And I meant that." She rolled over so her chest was pressed to mine.

"I believed you." She gave me a gentle smile. "But I'm not tired tonight."

"We could go for a run."

"I'm not running." She said.

"Not you. You can ride on my back." She had only been on me while I was phased a few times and most of those times were when she was little. She sat up and looked at me.

"Yeah." She smiled before standing up and putting her clothes back on.

"You're gonna need pants." I handed her my sweatpants that were far too big but they would do the job for now. She rolled them up until we could see her feet. She looked adorable. "Let's go." I held her hand as I covered myself with one hand and walked down the stairs.

"What are you doing?" Bella covered her eyes as we walked to the back door.

"Going for a run."

"Be safe." She called. I phased as soon as we got outside and leaned down so Savannah could climb on. She gripped my fur hard as I trotted into the woods and headed to the lake. I laid down and she moved off me to sit beside me as we looked out at the water. I phased back even though I was naked. She didn't seem to mind. She grabbed my hand tight and leaned into me.

I didn't want to be anywhere else but here with her.
