Ok, so this is most defiantly a filler chapter. They just need to know each other a bit more before anything else happens. I should have the next chapter by Friday.
I also have a one-shot posted. Its when seth meets Nessie for the first time in breaking dawn. I think i might do all the pack members, but i dont know. Check it out!
SM owns Twilight.
At the end of the day, I pulled Carlie back into my office. "You know where my apartment is, right?"
"I don't really think that's a good idea quite yet." She said quietly. "I mean its not because I don't like you or anything-"
"No, no. I get it. I wasn't inviting you over just so we could…have sex or anything. Its just one of the few places we can actually been seen. And I really would like to know you more."
She smiled slightly. "Do you have texting?"
"Yeah."
"I have some stuff to take care of tonight, so why don't you just text me?"
I tried to keep the disappointment off my face. "Ok."
She entered her cell phone number in my phone as 'Renee' because it was her middle name and she didn't want my phone to be found with her texts in it. Which made me very excited to text her… and excited because I knew her middle name!
I waited and waited for her to text me, I didn't want to look creepy. I figured she was at work…in her little mechanic's outfit.
Leah and Seth were shocked at how easy it was for me to get her to like me again.
"Wait! In the school?" Leah asked, she sounded slightly appalled.
I got defensive, "We were a bit carried-" I was interrupted by a text form her. "Ah! She finally texted me! I gotta go."
"Whipped." Embry said under his breath as I walked to my room and read the text:
So what do you want to know?
I texted back right away:
Favorite place you've lived?
London. Favorite color?
Oh. So now its 20 questions for both of us? Brown.
Yep. And would that be because brown is the color of my eyes? I never imagined you as the sentimental type….
…maybe… Best friend?
That's hard. I have so many. Inside my family probably my mom. Outside…my friend Maribel. Her and I are pretty much exactly alike. She lives in Brazil. Your BFF?
I have 11. Favorite designer?
11? Wow. Mr. Popular. And why would you want to know that? I have 11.
11? Are you mocking me? That's my question, you have to answer it.
Yes and no. BCBG, D&G, DKNY, Burberry, Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Coach, Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Dior.
I haven't heard of most of those… Any pets?
No. I don't have time, the garage keeps me busy.
I love cars.
So you've said. What do you drive?
Umm. A 1986 Rabbit…
WHAT?! NO! UNACCEPTABLE!
I rebuilt the engine so it goes fast. We cant all have red Jags.
Oh, don't even come after my car.
I'm not. It's a sweet-ass car.
:) I know. Its my baby!!
I couldn't think of any more questions…except one… I begged my hands to stop texting it.
What kind of panties do you prefer?
Well, hello Andrew, I didn't know you stole Jake's phone!
I liked the ones today…
I'm sure. Thongs I guess, some times commando.
You'll let me know on those days, right?
Humm. Maybe… Favorite food?
Favorite? None, I'll eat it all.
I'm a bad cook.
She was insinuating that she would probably cook for me one day…
I'll eat it.
What if it was vegan?
You're vegan!?
No. So just to clear that up, you wouldn't eat everything.
If I was desperate enough I would eat vegan. And if I had to pick a favorite food, it would be buffalo wings. Favorite time of the day?
Buffalo wings are gross. Humm. Sun rise. Because that's when you get a fresh start. And then midnight, that's mischief time.
I think I like midnight too… Favorite book?
Wow. Soooo many. Pride and Prejudice. Wuthering Heights. Jane Eyre. Romeo and Juliet. Pretty much anything by Twain or Dickens. And…I'm a harry potter fan.
I've never read any of those. No wonder you're getting an A in English.
Never read Harry Potter? That is a sin! Favorite movie?
I cried like a baby during Marley and Me.
You did not! And don't make fun of the people who may have had some tears flowing…
Ok, you're right. I never saw that movie. I'm a fan of PS I Love You. I cried…
Now you're just being ridiculous! I'm guessing Transformers? Batman?
You pegged me. Transformers is the best movie known to man.
Megan Fox is pretty hot.
After you just told me you wear thongs or go commando? Come on now, play fair.
:) Where ya from?
Washington state. Best decision you ever made?
Wow. Um, I really have no clue. Ask me in a year, and if this works out, I'll say you.
I smiled. It will work out.
It'll work out. I promise.
You've made some pretty big promises today.
And I'll keep them all. Just wait and see.
You're pretty cocky for a guy who is in love with optimus prime.
Please, I prefer Bumblebee.
Haha. What the best decision you've ever made?
Running away from home.
You ran away from home!?
Yeah. It's a long, painful story. Not now. Later.
Oh. Sorry. I ran away once. Well, technically my aunts kidnapped me, but that's a long story. Later.
Its not so painful anymore, but it is long and complicated. So have you been to Chicago yet?
Nope. I really want to go soon though. My aunt said the shopping is amazing!
Chicago is a big city… no one would know who we are….
Are you asking me out on a date?
Well, what kind of a non-jack ass boyfriend would I be if I didn't take you out sometimes?
Hum. You have a point. But what kind of boyfriend would want to go on a city wide shopping spree with their teenage secret girlfriend?
A non-jackass one. You're out of excuses.
I am. But you better be prepared, I like to shop. A lot.
I know. I never see you in the same outfit, not even in gym.
So you carefully study my gym outfit everyday?
Sorry if that creeps you out. I just couldn't ignore our connection.
It was weird. That first day. When I met eyes with you… idk. It was like you were specifically put on this earth to protect me or something. I felt safe.
She has no idea how right on she is….
Like I said before, I'll always be there to protect you.
It took her a minute to reply, and I worried that I crossed some sort of line. But it came, almost a full two minutes later: I know.
She trusts me! Only knowing me for a few weeks and she trusts me!
So what do your parents do?
Umm, my dad is a doctor. Mom is a professional badass.
Professional badass?
Ok, not really. But she's really fun. We get most of our income from playing the stock market. My aunt is pretty much effing physic when it comes to that stuff.
I suck at playing the stock market. Think your aunt would hook me up with a few good buys?
That's cheating! You just have to go with your gut.
My gut is always wrong.
What is your gut saying about me?
That your not perfect for me. See? Wrong again….
Sly. SO does your family fall under that long, complicated story?
It most defiantly does. What about yours?
Way to crazy and complicated to explain through texts.
What are you doing at this very moment?
Eating. And texting.
What are you eating? I still have never seen her eat enough food to sustain a human.
Steak.
Mmm. I had Coco Puffs for dinner.
Maybe my cooking would be better than what you can whip up.
I can make pancakes…
Aww. You remembered?
Hell yeah I did. I made a list to impress you with later.
Creeper….kidding. Lemme hear this list.
Color- green. Animal- grizzly. Food- pancakes Store- BCBG. Music- classical.
Fine job.
Why classical?
I don't really know. I grew up around it. My dad also composes music and he taught me how to play piano. He composed a piece for my mom. And when I was a baby, he composed a lullaby for me. I also like indy music sometimes.
Favorite holiday?
Halloween! Hands down! Best holiday ever!
Dream girl!
Mine too! What did you go as last year?
Wouldn't you like to know….what about you?
Hum. I would like to know. Something naughty?? I was a cop.
A naughty cop?
What were you?
Were you a naughty cop?!
You first.
Nope. You.
Yes. I was Sergeant Sexy.
Damn.
What were you?
I got a picture message in return. It felt like my birthday. It was of Carlie. In a naughty prisoner's outfit. Like black and white stripped garter belt and knee high socks. Hot damn. And the best thing about it? I could tell it was just taken. I could see her room in the picture, just as clearly as I can see it from the forest.
Shiiiiiiit.
Likey??
Uh… Hell yeah. You know what this means, right?
What?
You and me are meant to be.
Suuuure, Sergeant Sexy.
You know….I could put my officer's uniform on and you could put your naughty little criminal outfit on and I could come over and arrest you.
Well…I didn't have a picture of Halloween to send you, so I had to take one…
Wait!? So you're already in your outfit? As if I didn't know.
Maybe….
You're not playing fair.
You're the one who started it with the sexy costumes.
Cat person or dog person?
Dog. You?
Thank god! Dog. Summer or winter?
Summer. It gets to cold for me in winter. You?
Winter. Too hot for me in the summer. Burger King or McDonalds?
Umm. EW! None! You?
McDonalds. Chocolate or Vanilla?
I don't really like sweets.
So that's how you stay in shape. And those wonderful gym classes.
Yeah. Floor hockey, what a good way to stay in shape. That was sarcasm, it doesn't come through well on texts.
Ouch. I always enjoyed floor hockey. Hugs or kisses?
Depends on the person.
Me?
Kisses.
I smiled again. This was quite literally the best day of my life.
Awesome. From Cook?
Ass-kicking isn't one of the choices you gave me…
Oh, my bad. Ball busting or ass kicking?
Now you forgot to add both.
I like that answer. First kiss?
Again, she took a very long time to respond. Pass.
I frowned. I would have to hunt that mother fucker down… Am I a better kisser than he was?
His kisses were cold, yours are much better. What about your first kiss?
Was…Bella. My first kiss I forcibly pushed on to her. That doesn't count. The one before the battle with the newborns does. That was…fake. And forced out of guilt on her part.
Fake and forced.
Kinda sounds like mine…
I vote both of our first kisses should be stricken from the record.
No. then Andrew would be mine. And I would rather have to relive my first kiss over and over again over having him as my first kiss.
My second kiss wasn't much better either.
What about…your first time? If you know what I mean.
I didn't really know how to respond to that. I didn't want her to think I was just a sleaze that slept around, I was, before she came. I know what you mean. I just don't know how to answer it.
Answer it honestly.
I don't remember her name. It was emotionless. Terrible. I used sex as therapy for a long time. But not now.
Ties in with the runaway story?
Yeah. Sooooo. How was your first time?
Flawless transition…
I know, I have a skill for that.
Hummm…..
Don't know how to answer?
Not really.
Honestly.
It hurt. It was pleasurable. Hot. Comforting. But it hurt.
I frowned. Why didn't I ask her that as soon as I saw her! Damn it! I suck!
Fuck. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. Saturday or today. Shit. I should have asked you if it hurt too much! I'm really sorry!
Relax. I'm fine. It didn't hurt so ad after a few minutes. I mean, it felt really good. And today it didn't hurt so much, more pleasure than pain. I'm not mad at you or anything. You are forgiven.
Thanks. Sorry for not thinking about a condom or anything… I was worried you were going to get pregnant and hate me.
Just keep a few magnums in your wallet from now on.
Those are too small…
Dear god…no wonder it hurt… I thought steroids were supposed to shrink it.
No steroids. All Jake.
Really? Is it just genetics then? Because you and Mr. Call are both freakishly tall and big.
Its just in our blood. Seth is pretty big too.
Can you tell him thank you for me? For Saturday?
Yeah.
You too. You got there just in time. Thanks.
No problem. I didn't scare you are anything, did I?
No. Not at all. It makes sense now, your reaction.
Does it?
Yeah. You had a crush on me and didn't want anything to happen to me. And when you saw someone else violating me, you snapped.
Yeah. I guess I did.
And you feel protective. So when I woke up with nightmares, you felt you had to come.
I care about you.
I know it was pretty much saying 'I love you', but honestly, I didn't care. I did love her. I want going to come right out and say it, 'cuz that would freak her out.
It took her a few minutes to reply, I know. Good night.
Good night.
