So Here's chapter 12 wow. So I have a quick question for you, I was wondering if you guys would like me to put up pictures of what the characters look like in my mind. I'm happy to but it's a lot of effort and I don't want to bother if no one wants to look them up. So there's the question please let me know. I know this is very unoriginal but review please I love hearing what you guys think.
and thanks heaps to my Beta, Momentarily Infinite. For helping me with my hopeless grammar.
On with the story
So in this one I'm not going to reveal that Jared is a werewolf.
Oh by the way still don't own Twilight
Chapter 12
My Cake Not Yours
Kim's P.O.V
"What's shaking Jumper?" A playful voice asks, and I jump about five feet. I turn to see Embry and he smiles widely at me.
"Oh, hey Embry," I say trying to hide my surprise.
"What are you doing?" Embry asks.
"I'm trying to pick out a cake mix."
"Jared likes chocolate," Embry says with a smile.
"That's nice," I mutter.
"That's who the cake is for...Right?"
"Nope."
"Is it for me? It is, isn't it? Well that's nice of you, but I happen to be on a strict diet," Embry says with a chuckle. "I like vanilla. The guys reckon it's boring but it's a classic," Embry rambles on.
"The cakes for me," I finally tell him.
"You? Why are you making a cake for yourself?" Embry asks looking confused.
"Because, I like cooking, and I like cake" I explain to him simply.
To be honest I'm a little pissed off; Jared hasn't asked me out on one official date. And I don't want to sound demanding, but it's pretty annoying and a little upsetting. Does he think that I am just good for kissing?
I mean I don't expect anything fancy, but it would be nice, especially since the teachers are going on strike until next Monday. I figured since this is the first day of strike, Jared might ask me out on a proper date, but he hasn't. Especially because I'm going to busy this weekend with Sam. And since Sam is busy today - she's on a date. Well, at least someone is - it looks like I am on my own. Even Davie is out with Leah.
But I refuse to sulk. I'm going to make a cake and watch chick flicks. Oh and while we-re on the subject, even my Mum has a date! With some guy named John. He has two sons and is divorced. Mum's been dating him for a while now, apparently. She only just told me because she wanted to make sure it was serious before I knew.
"Well I like eating, so how about you bake the cake for me?" Embry asks with a bright smile.
"I'm good Emmy" I say with a roll of my eyes.
"It's Embry," Embry retorts angrily.
"And my name's Kim, but you call me Jumper, Emmy" I tease.
"Whatever, come on Kim let me have some cake. I looove cake" Embry pleads like a five year old.
"No, I don't want to share," I say, acting like I'm five as well.
"Don't be so cruel woman!" He pleads.
"Your pathetic."
"That's what hunger does to me," Embry argues. I smile a little at this.
"What are you even doing, wandering around supermarkets, anyway?" I ask.
"Well, I'm not a loner unlike you. There's a we, and we are shopping for Emily. Sam told us we had to and it's boring, so I made a jail-break and ran into you." Embry says finishing off his story with a smile.
"Well, then get Emily to make you a cake," I say.
"No she'll make me share," Embry complains.
"Em is that you?" Jared calls.
"No," Embry answers back.
"There you are, we're ready to go now. You managed to get out of actually doing any shopping," Jared says and a smile breaks out onto his face as he sees me. That smile makes it hard to be angry with him, but I do my best to stay strong.
"Kim! what are you doing here?" Jared asks sounding surprised.
"Buying cake," I mumble trying not to look him in the eye.
"For me?" He asks.
"No, for me," I say.
"Get chocolate, it's the best," Jared says still smiling.
"I think I'll get white chocolate cake" I finally say and smile at him.
That's when Jared gets this hungry look in his eye. The kind he always gets when he wants to kiss me. I've seen this stare a little too many times. He leans into kiss me and I step back quickly.
"You got cut!" Embry says.
Jared death-stares him for a second and then looks at me. He stares, wounded and sad.
"Embry, go tell the guys I'll be a second," Jared says.
"No way, I want to see why she's mad!"
"Embry," Jared says in a deathly voice.
"Fine," Embry mumbles and walks away.
"What was that all about?" Jared asks looking wounded.
"What?"
"You wouldn't kiss me," Jared pouts.
"I know."
"Was it because of Embry?"
"No."
"Then why?"
"Figure it out."
"What?"
'Figure it out," I repeat.
"But Kim, I don't know what it is."
"Well...You should."
"So, I can't kiss you until I figure it out?"
"Yep."
"Kim that's not fair!" Jared whines.
"Life isn't fair."
"Fine, I'll figure it out," Jared says.
"Good luck" I say and begin to walk away. As soon as I saw Jared, I knew being mad would be really hard, but I can get a little revenge, because I'm pretty sure Jared will be more than happy to take me out on a date after this.
"Kim, you can't leave."
"Why not?"
"Because I still haven't figured it out! Come on, come over to my place and I'll make you cake," Jared says with a smile.
"Can you even bake?" I ask.
"Nope, but I can try," Jared says with a mischievous grin, and he picks up the white chocolate cake and pays for it quickly.
Once we're outside I see the whole gang standing waiting looking bored.
"Took your bloody time," Paul complains.
"Yeah sorry, um, I'm going to hang out with Kim now, but I'll see you guys later" Jared explains. After a couple of air kisses, they wave us off.
It doesn't take long to get to Jared's house at all. I mean, only a couple minutes later and we were outside the house.
"Is your mum home?" I whisper,
"No," Jared says with a laugh and grabs my hand warming me up. "Huh, so I can hold your hand then?" Jared asks.
"Yes," I agree.
"But I can't kiss you?"
"No."
"But why not?"
"You have to work it out for yourself."
"But I don't know why!" Jared says
"I know," I say and smile a little.
"But you can kiss me?"
"Yes."
"You're going to kiss me soon," Jared says and winks at me.
"Don't count on it."
"Oh don't worry I will."
With that he grabs my hand and leads me into another a room. I don't even get a chance to see the room. Instead he grabs me pins up adjacent to the wall, and brings his face so close we're just centimetres apart. He breathes heavily into my face.
"Kim,you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Jared whispers and then looks at me expectantly, I suppose waiting for me to kiss him. Right then I use all the self control I was ever given.
"Thanks, and Jared can you put me down," I ask.
Jared looks shocked but does.
"See I can resist you," I tease. "Embry on the other hand," I joke.
That's when both Jared and I notice the other people in the room - three teenage boys, one of which is Jared's younger brother. I guess the others are his friends. I gulp a little and blush straight away.
"Kim, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Max says mimicking Jared. His friends burst out laughing.
"It's true," Jared says showing no shame.
"So how come you won't kiss brother dearest?" Max asks smiling brightly at me.
"Because he did something wrong."
"What?"
"You sound like your brother."
"Does that mean you'll kiss me?" Max asks grinning.
Jared shoots daggers at him and I flinch a little at his anger.
"Nope," I say with a wink. "Now Jared, weren't you making me a cake?" I ask.
"Yep," Jared says smiling widely at me.
"You're going to make a cake when she won't kiss you?" One of Max's friend says shocked.
"The trick is to get her to kiss me again," Jared says with a smile and shoots me his best look.
"If I ever do."
"You will, now you three boys have fun," Jared says with a huge grin on his model face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm sorry Kim, I didn't realise, I mean I'm really sorry. It's like black!" Jared says looking confused at the very burnt cake.
"It's the thought that counts," I say quietly as I take a bit of the cake and put it in my mouth. It was more gross then I could have thought.
"Don't eat it, I don't want you sick," Jared says taking the cake away from me.
I roll my eyes at him. "Burnt cake never hurt anyone."
'You're not anyone, you're Kim," Jared corrects with a small smile forming on his lips.
"That's right. So...do you know what you did wrong yet?"
"No, come on give me a hint," Jared begs using his best puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, you skipped a step," I explain.
Jared nods and begins to think. He looks like his going to hurt himself after a while, but I stay strong not wanting to interrupt him.
"I haven't asked you out on a proper date," Jared finally says looking shocked and ashamed.
"Bingo."
'Oh my god Kim, I'm so sorry! I am such an ass, don't worry I'm going to fix this, you'll see," Jared says and looks at me worriedly.
"It's okay," I say and lean in and kiss him. Before I know it he picks me up, places me on the kitchen bench and begins to kiss me. When we break away he grins like all his wildest dreams have come true in a second.
"So Kim, I was wondering if you'd go out with me tomorrow?" Jared asks.
"I suppose I could fit you in," I say smiling.
"Why thank you Kim!" Jared says with a huge grin. Then he leans in for another kiss and our make-out session keeps going. I revel in every minute of his burning skin pressed against mine.
"Jared," A loud voice booms and at first I think it's his mum. I break apart to see Embry, Paul, Quil and Jacob standing in front of us, Embry with a huge grin on his face. Paul just looks bored and Quil and Jacob just smile a little. I, on the other hand, am about as red as you can get.
"What?" Jared snaps obviously annoyed by them interrupting us.
"We're going cliff-diving" Jacob says smiling widely.
"Oh..."
"You coming or not?" Paul huffs.
"Um, only if Kim wants to," Jared says looking at me.
Wonderful. I say no, not only do I disappoint Jared, I disappoint his friends and look chicken all at the same time. But seriously, there's no way I want to jump off a cliff. I'm not that insane! Not to mention the fact I hate heights.
"Um, I'm not a fan of heights," I finally say looking at my feet.
"Figures," Paul's gruff voice says.
"Shut up!" Jared orders, his voice sounding deadly.
"You know what? No, I want to go cliff diving." There is no way I am letting Paul think he has the last word/
"Kim, you don't have to," Jared says.
"No I want."
"If your sure?" Jared says looking pleased
"I am."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Why in the world did I agree to go cliff-diving? Have I lost my mind? Apparently I have.
I blame Paul.
It's bloody freezing and I am hanging around these huge, intimidating boys. Jared puts his arm around to warm me up. Okay so that part's not too bad, but I still need to get out of this.
"I haven't brought my swimmers, and I can't ruin my clothes, my mum will go off," I say suddenly. It's true now that I think about it. They were pretty new and it made sense. Jared looked disappointed but smiled at me kindly.
"No surprise there," Paul mumbles.
"What?" I say outraged. I really hate Paul. Who the hell does he think he is?
"Well, I'm just saying that I'm not surprised you found a reason not to." I hear Jared growl and begin to shake but this was my fight not his in a million years.
"Piss off" Jared said in a deadly voice.
"No, Paul. Really what am I meant to do? I can't ruin my clothes."
"I don't know, but we both know if you wanted to jump you would. You got this far to impress Jared but you chickened out, just like I guessed you would." He smiles wickedly at me.
And that's it - I do the unthinkable.
I'm that pissed. I walk towards the cliff, and ignore Jared calling after me in between threatening Paul. I pull off my jeans, refusing to look back.
"Kim, what are you doing? Guy's, don't you dare look!" Jared orders after a second. "Turn around, and Kim stop!" Jared sounds desperate, but I ignore him, tearing my top off.
"She has a nice-" Embry says.
"Don't finish that if you wish to live," Jared says, his voice beyond deadly.
And with that, I jump, just to prove stupid Paul wrong. Once I'm in the air I begin to freak.
Only I would jump off a cliff in my underwear. I was crazy, and it was all Paul's fault.
I hit the surface after a second, and it freezes my entire body. I struggle to get to the top, and as I begin to panic I feel two warm hands pull me towards them.
"Kim, are you okay?" Jared asks as soon as he grabs hold of me.
"Yeah, now I'm warm," I admit pulling myself in closer. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It was just Paul, you know," I grumble.
"Yeah, don't worry he gets under everyone's skin," Jared explains as he drags me back to shore.
Jacob throws me a towel and I wrap myself around it quickly, blushing, now aware that everyone knows what I look like in my underwear. I blame Paul. Again.
"Hey, Jared can we go home?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think that's best," Jared says, and puts his arm around me. I don't even look at Paul as we leave. I'm not game.
I feel stupid as I hop into Jared's car in a towel and my underwear. I lean in and kiss him as soon as we're in. Jared beams at me for a second and then drives me home. We stop at his house and change into my clothes. Thank the lord his brothers friends were all in his Max's room.
"So, here we are," Jared says conversationally as we stop outside my house.
"Yep. Do you want come in?" I ask, smiling at the idea of Jared being in my house and it being normal.
"Sounds good," Jared says.
"Nice place," Jared observes as we step inside my house. We both stand in the hallway and stare at each other as I work up the courage to explain my odd behaviour at the cliffs.
"Thanks. So...about the cliffs. I'm sorry, I mean I must have looked like a crazy woman!"
'Kim, it was hot, I just I didn't want the other guys to see. I mean I'm going to hear it in their thoughts."
"Thoughts?" I ask, completely confused.
"No, I mean, uh, they don't keep much to themselves" Jared says, searching for the right words.
"Oh, right."
"So what should we do?" Jared asks giving me his best smile.
"I don't know Jared. I just don't."
"Well, we could always kiss, I mean I am pretty bored," Jared jokes.
"Yeah, I'm bored too," I say playing along, and that's kind of it. Suddenly I'm pressed against the wall, and I lose track of time as we make-out for God-know-how-long.
"I need to lie down," I complain. Being pressed against the wall gets uncomfortable after a while.
"Oh, sorry. Do you want to watch a movie?" Jared asks sounding anxious.
"We don't have to stop kissing," I say with a laugh.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," I say and grab his hand to lead him to the lounge. That's when I notice two people are already on the coach in a massive make-out session, all over each other. At first I think it's Davie and Leah and then I look closely and then...oh my God.
"Mum!" I yell in horror.
"Dad!" Jared cries.
