Chapter seven: Shopping and kisses?
"This is SO cute!" I exclaimed, shoving a pink shirt in Bella's arms.
We headed straight to Victoria Secret when we arrived in Port Angeles. Bella was a little afraid upon entering the store, since it was mostly lingerie. I personally had to push her into the store. Many people liked to stare at us.
Bella scrunched up her nose in protest. She never wore pink, at least when I saw her. She could put a little color into her wardrobe. Pink was a color that could look good on any girl!
"I don't really like pink," Bella complained. I could tell she thought she disrespected me since my favorite color was pink. "No offense,"
"Non taken. But can you please try to add some color in your wardrobe?" I begged throwing more shirts her way.
She paused on a light blue tank top. "Edward does like it when I wear blue..." she trailed.
"Great!" I smiled. "Go try it on. I have a couple other things I need to grab before meeting you in the dressing rooms,"
"Okay,"
Bella slowly walked towards a Victoria worker and immediately got a room. I rummaged through the store grabbing different types of push up bras, panties, corsets, and playful bedroom outfits.
I found one for Bella. Like she said, Edward loved her in blue. She was going to kill me for the accessory but I knew for a fact when it came down to it, Edward would have died when he saw her in it.
Calling Bella's name in the dressing room I found one next to hers. I threw the lingerie set over to her side. Immediatly I heard her whimper.
"What is this!?" She screamed throwing it back over.
"Bella please be reasonable. Edward would love it for tonight. If you sleep over," I handed it back to her, refusing for a return.
"This is something I wouldn't wear," I could tell she was eyeing it up from the other side.
I pulled on a pink halter dress which was tight on the waist and chest, and flowed from the waist down.
Bella froze as soon as I whipped back the curtain that blocked every ones view from seeing inside. She dropped the corset and matching undergarments in shock. I smirked, picking it up.
"Now don't be stubborn Bella, just put it on and see how it looks," I urged, holding it in her face.
"Your just like Alice," she mumbled.
I laughed. "Good, maybe we should call her! She could help me with you,"
Her eyes grew as wide as dinner plates. "Please no, she scares me when it comes to clothing,"
My body doubled over in laughter. "Maybe we should invite her down here,"
We both reached for her phone, I won. Alice screamed yes as soon as she picked up the phone. She was down for shopping.
It didn't take long for Alice to join us in Victoria Secret. I was still fussing with Bella with the damn corset! Thankfully Alice forced her into the set.
Both Alice and I awed when Bella flashed us the outfit. She looked like a sexy medieval princess looking for some sex. Ha! Bella looked very stunning. Alice approved, knowing Edward would to.
"I love it!" Alice beat me to the punch.
"Me to," I agreed. Bella looked incredibly beautiful and sexy in her new outfit which I knew Alice would force her to buy.
"I feel completely silly and naked." Bella said. Her expression was to die for.
Alice rolled her eyes. "No you don't. Now change into your clothes so we can buy it,"
"But-"
Her finger stopped Bella from talking. "Now,"
I loved how much authority Alice had over Bella. It was very entertaining, not to mention hysterical!
We spent a few more hours around the mall, buying everything in sight. Well I should say Alice and I did. Bella only bought at least four new outfits while we had at least ten.
Alice had to leave early, Jasper called. He needed her for a reason Bella and I didn't know about. She hugged and kissed both our cheeks before departing.
Bella's stomach growled so we headed to a nearby Italian resturant. It wasn't very crowded, thank god, but it did have a good amount of people.
A very pretty blond waitress sat us down in a booth across from teenage boys who looked our age. They continued to stare as we ordered our drinks.
"You see them?" I asked skimming over my menu.
"See who?" Bella was so clueless.
"The boys straight across, staring at us with goo goo eyes?" I set my menu down and motioned my eyes towards them.
Bella looked and the man with brown hair smiled at her. "They're probably staring at you,"
I let out a dramatic "Uh". She was so delirious. "Bella, they are staring at both of us."
"Edward is way better than any of them."
"So is Jacob," I whispered, hoping she didn't hear me.
To my luck she did. Her mouth fell open. She was about to speak but the waitress came back taking our orders.
I sipped down my pop quickly, hoping Bella forgot about my previous comment. She eyed me suspiciously. There was no way I was going to get out of this one.
"I knew it!" she exclaimed, a smile wide across her face. "You like Jacob Black!"
"Shh!" I tried covering her mouth but she leaned back in her seat. "Can you be any louder?"
"Now you know how it feels to be embarrassed. You and Alice did that to me all day,"
I shrugged. "Sorry, but seriously keep it down,"
She nodded. "So you do like him?" Bella did not mean it as a question.
"Yeah, "
Once I let slip my secret, she couldn't stop talking about Jacob. I learned a few things here and there only to be disappointed. I ended up liking him even more!
The resturant was like a blur in my mind. All Bella and I could talk about was Jacob and how much I liked him. It was insane on how much Bella knew. She made me think that they dated a while ago but she reassured me they were only best friends.
I couldn't stop fidgeting knowing I was going to see Jacob very soon. My talk with Bella didn't help me one bit but force me to like him even more. Maybe a relationship could work out. Age is only a number.
Plus Jacob had to be at least six feet tall! Couldn't miss his good looks to. He was always warm to, which could be a good thing. If it became very cold outside all I had to do was cuddle up with him.
His house peered into my vision. I smiled noticing Jacob's face staring out the window. He rushed outside coming up to my side of the car.
Opening the door I noticed the very cold wind that must have picked up in the last ten minutes. Jacob pulled me into a hug, warming me instantly.
Playing follow the leader, I let him lead me to his tiny garage. The motorcycle we rode earlier caught my eye. It still looked beautiful and the memories came rushing back to me from the night he took me out on the bike.
Lucky for me in a sarcastic way, the garage had no heat. My jacket kept me warm pretty good, but I was still cold. Jacob was only wearing a sweatshirt and pants. The weather didn't even seem to bother him.
"Aren't you cold?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"No, I'm never cold anymore," Jacob replied, sitting on a stool.
I sat in the passenger seat in the rabbit. At least it was warmer than sitting where Jacob was.
"How are we going to work on my car if were sitting in here and its out there?" I chuckled to myself.
Jacob stared deeply into my crystal blue eyes, never leaving the connection that was there. I blushed under his gaze. He was so handsome.
"Oh yeah sorry," he shook his head. "Let me bring it around to here,"
I threw him my keys. "Be careful with her. She is fragile,"
"Right, and racing last night didn't even hurt it,"
He smiled as I stuck my tongue out playfully.
As soon as he parked my car in front of the garage, he set to work. Since I knew only a little bit of what he was doing, I tried learning even more.
Jacob was taking apart and putting back together many parts in my car. I was frightened that my baby was dying and I had to get a new car. That was one of my biggest fears. My Challenger has been in my life too long for it to die.
My eyes grew two times its size as soon as Jacob ripped three long wires from my engine.
He smiled at the look on my face. The wires still clutched in his hands. "You need your oil changed and new wires. I got wires already,"
"You killed my car!" I screamed, hugging my car. The wind whipped my hair around, shivers running down my spine.
"Don't worry Avril, your car will turn out fine. The clicking and life span of your car will be all taken care of after this,"
"Fine," I grumbled.
It took him only five minutes to fix my car. We did a quick test run and he was right. My car didn't make a clicking noise anymore and it was so much easier to reach to high speed. Jacob was a miracle worker. Now all I had to do was get the oil change. More money to lose.
We sat back in his garage. I started to shiver now. Once the sky turned half way dark, the temperature in the air cooled down. I begged for this cold to never come back to Forks, but I knew it wasn't going to happen.
Jacob continued to watch me as my teeth chattered a bit. He sat in the driver seat of the rabbit and pulled my body against his. I laid my head on his chest. Automatically I started to feel his body heat radiate onto mine. The shivering stopped.
His arm held my body close, wrapping all around my waist. Jacob started to move his fingertips across my leg, it felt so good. I tilted my head up so I could see what he was doing. Of course he was looking at me again.
"You are seriously a heater," I said looking up, feeling even more smaller than I already was compared to him.
He laughed. "Do you want me to be a heater?"
"For right now yeah, but other times you don't have to be,"
"So only times you say its right be be a heater I can," Jacob smiled wide. Our jokes seemed to entertain him.
"Duh," I poked him in the side.
We sat in silence again. It seems if you poke him he smiles than decides not to talk. He was a mystery to me but yet I was so attracted to him. Maybe it was because he gave me more attention than any other guy I've met down here. Mike barely noticed me compared to the way Jacob did.
Plus he always wanted to hang out with me. From before we hung out when we bickered I thought it was the end of our becoming friendship but no I was wrong. He did want to hang out with me again and again. Jacob just couldn't get enough of me and I absolutely loved every minute of it.
"What do you usually do down here in La Push?" Yet again I had to be the one to break the silence.
Jacob was shocked by my question. "Hang out with friends. That's usually all I do. Nothing really is here,"
"Oh, I thought some hardcore shit would happen here. My friends have told me some crazy stories they've witnessed when visiting reservations," I really hoped something interesting would happen. Forks was very boring except for the friends.
"Depends on what you mean by that," his smile totally gave me a hint he was keeping something a secret,"
I thought for a minute. "Like fights, drug influences, and I don't know. Something out of the real world,"
Jacob kept his smile in place. "Fights can happen, no drugs, and the last one you'll have to see for yourself,"
"Tell me,"
He shook his head no. "What did you do before you came here?"
I sucked in a hard breath. Why did he have to ask this question. Out of everything he could have asked it was about what I used to do. My friends weren't the best people in the word. He may consider me crazy after this.
"Well," I began. It seemed the air became colder. "My friends were not the greatest people. They loved doing illegal acts. I participated in a few, but don't worry I don't do the drugs or break the law anymore," I had to make sure he understood that I turned out good and not bad. "And we would go clubbing a lot and find some men to have one night stands with. I did that twice and I would never do it again. Its so disgusting. My friends were good manipulators,"
Jacob nodded. He seemed to understand. But a tiny part of my brain told me I should run before he could hate me.
His head lowered towards mine, a smile twitched at the corners of his mouth. I leaned a bit closer, his lips touched my ear.
"I still like you even if you did do those things,"
I jerked my head back a little bit. He didn't care about anything, as long as I was near him and I was talking to him. What kind of man is he? Well it didn't matter to me. I officially like Jacob Black too much than I should.
His lips looked so tasty. I would love to kiss his lips. A temptation creeped inside me as my mind screamed that I liked Jacob. He didn't even mind one bit as we sat an inch apart.
Throwing out every thought I pecked Jacob on the lips. He kissed me back, deepening the kiss. There was so much passion and desire in his kiss that I couldn't tear away from.
My arm wrapped around his neck as he grabbed a fistfull of hair. I let his tongue enter my mouth, only too soon being interrupted.
Three men stood in the garage next to the rabbit. I remembered two of them. Sam and Embry was here but I didn't recognize the third.
I pulled away from Jacob, leaving the rabbit all together. He slipped out of the car as well and greeted Sam.
"What's up guys?" Jacob asked. He was so proud of himself being caught kissing. I could just tell from the expression on his face.
"Did we come at a bad time?" Sam asked, a small smile creeping across his face.
"Hi Avril!" Embry said, waving dramatically.
I shyly looked at the floor and whispered, "Hi," This moment was too embarrassing.
"Um Jacob, I'll call you later. I need to get back home. Thanks for fixing my car," I hugged him quickly before getting into my car.
"That's her?" the third boy said. "She's gorgeous!"
"Stop it Seth," Jacob hissed.
Seth was his name eh? Not too bad looking but in my opinion Jacob was always better looking.
I rolled up my windows, played the radio quietly and sped out of La Push. If anything embarrassing happened after that, I don't know what I would have done. Possibly die of humiliation.
