AN: Second part in my string of chapters.
I got into the diver's seat, but when Jacob tried to sit next to me, I shook my head. "You two need to catch up, apologize, talk, and stuff, whatever."
Driving wasn't a chore for me right now. I wanted to try out my new power, and being next to Jacob would have definitely distracted me. I saw a bird and stopped it mid-flight and then lowered it to the ground. I pushed lawn chairs around. (I'm not quite sure why they even had those in Forks.) It was all very amusing.
Then I had to pick a place to celebrate at. I settled on Tammy's, which was supposed to be a lounge type thing that has wine, sandwiches, and chocolate. Though I wasn't quite sure why those things were a good mix, I was in company with people that ate, so it made sense.
As I realized that neither of them had an I.D. that said that they were twenty-one, I turned around and told them that they had to pretend to be a couple while we ordered and all. The two laughed when I said this, but agreed. I don't think they quite got why I was telling them to do this.
The whole time we were walking to Tammy's, Jacob snuggled against me and kissed my neck and cheek repeatedly.
"What are you doing?" I finally asked.
"I'm going to miss you while I'm going out with Bella." All three of us laughed.
When we got to the door of Tammy's, Jacob departed from my side, but not before he planted a kiss on my lips that left them tingling. We walked in. The female's receptionist's eyes immediately fell to my boobs. From the look on her face, I could tell exactly what she was thinking, and that's without being physic. Are those real?
Offended, I decided to play with her. As she picked up the menus, the mints in a glass bowl just happened to crash on the floor. Though Jacob held protectively on to Bella, he was watching me carefully.
"Oh my!" The receptionist cried. "I'm so sorry." She then quickly ushered us to a place to sit. There was one giant red arm chair, and a big burnt orange couch, for the couple. She handed us our menus and then rushed off. But I wasn't done yet, I snapped the hair tie in her bun, and watched happily as her hair fell out.
Jacob glared at me. "What? She thought these were fake," I said motioning across my chest. Bella didn't scold, she just high-fived me.
I flipped carelessly through the menu. "Um, how are we supposed to order these drinks?" Bella asked. In a flash I whipped out my I.D. from my brown Coach purse. "Oh, but…"
A male came up to us. "Hello, my name is Sean. I'll be your server." Oh this was going to be way too easy. He wasn't ugly, just one of those guys that didn't get a lot of dates. "Can I start you off with some drinks?"
"Why yes," I purred. "I'll have some Columbia Crest." Looking up at him, I batted my eyelashes, and then stared at him with my smoldering gaze. "Guys," I called lightly, not taking my eyes off of him. "What do you want?"
"I'll have Pinot Grigio Placido," Bell laughed, obviously enjoying my performance.
"I'll have Woop Woop Shiraz," Jacob growled. I had to keep myself from laughing at the name of that one. But Sean didn't write anything down.
"Did you get that Sean?" I heard his heat beat increase as I said his name. "One Woop Woop Shiraz and a Pinot Grigio Placido." I tapped his notepad.
"Yeah, I got it," Sean fumbled as he scribbled down the orders.
Then his pen's cap "fell." I leaned over to pick it up, well aware that his eyes were on my chest. I handed him the cap and he walked away quickly.
I turned back to Bella and Jacob. Bella gave me a small applause. Jacob growled and shuddered.
"Oh please, dear," I said placing my hand on his. "It's called acting."
"It didn't seem like acting to me," He said his voice gruff. Jacob didn't fool me though. As soon as I had touched him his heart calmed and was even skipping beats.
I played his game. I pouted. "Am I not allowed to have fun anymore?" I asked while slumping back into the chair crossing my arms across my chest.
Jacob laughed, "Not while I'm around."
I stuck out my tongue at him, which only made him laugh more. So I pouted more. At least Gabriel had more fun when fighting with me.
"Don't worry, Jera, he's always like that." I groaned. "Edward is really over-protective too. I'll be so incredibly lucky if he doesn't get to my house on time tomorrow. Otherwise, he'll just suck out the poison."
"No, I won't let him," I growled.
She nodded gratefully. Then Sean came back. What kind of approach should I use with him now? I put my elbow on the arm rest and lightly rested my head on my hand.
"We need a couple more moments before we order," I said looking at him. Sean swallowed hard and nodded his head. He handed us our drinks and then walked away.
I placed my wine on top of the small coffee table in front of us. All I needed was to find a place to get rid of this wine. Oh, of course, the potted plant behind me, classic. When no strangers were watching, I dunked a bit of the drink into the pot.
"What are you doing?" Jacob growled.
"I don't eat or drink, duh," I whispered so no human heard me.
"You could have told me that," He said audibly.
"I assumed you would kind of know that," I carried silently.
He sighed. I rolled my eyes. Bella muffled her laughter. I glared at her. You try going out with a werewolf when you're a vampire, I thought.
I heard Sean coming back and flipped through the menu. Quickly, I chose some truffles to order. "Hi. I'll have Tammy's Truffles," I cooed handing him my menu. Yet again, he didn't bother to look at Bella or Jacob.
"Um, I'll have the 'Chocolate Explosion,'" Bella called; apparently it worked, because this time Sean jotted down the order.
"Yeah, I'll have the 'Gigantic Sandwich,'" Jacob sneered. I cringed, who thought of these names? Sean scribbled down the rest and left.
I whipped around to Jacob. "What's wrong with you? This is supposed to be about Bella," I growled, letting him know I could play his game too.
"Jacob, come on, grow up," Bella intercepted.
"I can't," he reminded her.
My God this was a wreck. Why did Jacob have to be so pissy? I looked around biting my lip then mentally picked up some of the wine and put it into the plant's pot.
For the first time since we probably got here, Jacob smiled. "That's better," I purred.
Bella laughed. "Do you know what I just realized? What on earth is going to be a good topic for a conversation for a werewolf, a vampire, and a human?"
I giggled. "Good question. Movies?"
"No way, movies are crap," Jacob said. "Cars?"
"Yes, I love my car," Bella chimed.
"That truck?" I winced when she nodded. "How about music?"
"No," Jacob howled in laughter. "Bells gave that up when he left."
"But he's back," Bella argued.
"Ok, no music!" I exclaimed.
We all sat thinking. Even though I probably shouldn't have, I played mentally with Jacob's hair. He didn't notice I hoped no one else would either.
"Eureka!" Bella cried.
"What does that mean?" Jacob asked.
"It means 'I've got it,' in German or something," Bella explained. "Anyway, I think that a good topic for us to talk about is what to talk about."
I laughed, "That's true."
After that it was a free for all. I wasn't sure who was saying what.
"Computers."
"Don't have one."
"School."
"Don't go"
"Driving."
"Really old."
"Drawing."
"Ha, ha, ha…no.
"Food."
"Uh, hello?"
"Sports."
"Me sports, not so pretty."
"Reading."
"Takes to much thought process."
"Traveling."
"No way."
"Love." Someone suggested. We were all quiet, staring into space.
"Footsteps," I whispered for Jacob. Promptly he wrapped his arm around Bella and whispered what I had told him into her ear.
Sean placed the plates on our table. I stood up, getting closer to him. "Hey Sean?" I mused. Ugh, hey smelt horrible like some cheap cologne or deodorant.
"Yes," he breathed.
"What time is it?" Awkwardly he checked his watch.
"Its 11:15," he stuttered as my icy hand touched his arm.
"Thanks." I then sat down and examined my food until he went away.
"Don't be jealous, Jacob. He's not getting anything." I reached out and brushed his arm lightly.
Then after checking around, I moved one of my truffles to Jacob's mouth. "Aw, come one can't you just feed me?" He joked.
"I am, so enjoy." Jacob opened his mouth and I dropped it in.
"You two are so weird!" Bella laughed.
I flashed her a smile. "How many vampires get to feed their love?"
She smiled back. "…well not for long…" I moved another truffle to Bella's mouth.
"You want one?" I teased.
"I can feed myself, unlike Jacob." She retorted, snapping the truffle from the air.
"Hey I can feed myself." Jacob picked up part of the sandwich and shoved most of it in his mouth.
"Eww!" I squealed. "You can feed yourself, but it sure isn't a pretty sight. How can you do that anyway?"
"Like this." Jacob shoved the rest of the piece in his mouth.
"Or this." Bella demonstrated by biting into some chocolate. I pretended to gag. They continued their eating fest with sound affects and smiles. It was absolutely disgusting.
"I can't wait until you don't have to do that anymore," I mumbled. They laughed. "Ha, ha it's only a day away."
Suddenly, we were all hit with a sense of realization. Tomorrow. Oh my God. I wanted to puke. What if something went wrong? What if Edward found out? Bella snuggled closer to Jacob.
"Tomorrow," she whispered her voice full of fear.
"Uh huh."
"But at least we'll be together forever," Jacob offered. I was numb so I didn't even flinch at the horrible cliché.
"Forever is longer than it seems," I reminded them.
"And it seems long to begin with," Bella said muffling her voice into Jacob.
"Footsteps," Jacob sighed.
I rolled my eyes. And soon enough the ever "lovely" Sean came by. "Check please," I said half-heartedly. My mind was worried about every possible thing that could go wrong tomorrow.
"It's on the house." That was definitely something to take my mind off of tomorrow.
I perked up. Snatching a twenty from my Coach, I stood up and pecked Sean on the cheek. Ugh, gross, gross, gross, gross! "Your tip," I purred.
Then the others got up and we left. I couldn't help but snicker as I saw the receptionist trying to fix her hair without much success.
As soon as we were in my car, Bella threw herself on to Jacob, practically sobbing. "I'm scared," she managed.
"I know," he whispered.
Me, well I bored a hole in the windshield, while I contemplated how horrible things could be if tomorrow got out of hand. I shook my head and started the car. But where were we going? I looked back. Both of them were busy. Bella crying her heart out and Jacob was trying to comfort her. The scene was heart wrenching. With no idea on where to go, I kicked on auto-pilot.
