Jessica's Ride Home! Chapter 2: Mike, a twilight fanfic

(((I don't own.)))(((You wanted it; you got it!)))

"… So Jessica decides to kiss Edward, like that will prove that she is better then me in some way. Edward, not listening to her thoughts, doesn't know what's happening until her lips were on his. It wasn't a very long kiss, thank God, and when it ended, Edward pulled out Clorox Cleanup wipes out of the glove department and wipes his lips off with them. After he does that, he wipes them off on his sleeve and kisses me, but our kiss is deep," I finish telling Alice the story of the car ride home with Jessica.

"Hey, Cullen," Mike said, walking up to the table, "dude, I was driving to school today, and, like, I got a flat tier, I was all, like, 'whatever, I can get a dude to drive me home' but all my dudes where like 'whatever, dude, find another ride, I got junk to do' and I was like, 'who would drive me home?' I asked, like, every dude in the school but you. So dude, can you drive me home? Thanks! Bye," he scurried off. It was almost exactly like yesterday with Jessica, only 'manlier'.

"What get happened?" Edward asked.

"Remember what Jessica did during lunch yesterday?" I ask.

"Yeah…"

"Mike just asked the same thing."

"Great!" he huffed, not happy one bit that Mike will be in the car with us. Well, not happy he will be in close proximity with me is more like it, but still.

"Come on, Edward, lets go to your car for the rest of lunch," I say, I really want to get out of here, and Edward is fuming about the whole Mike-thing.

"Why?"

"To sit and talk, maybe listen to music, in privacy, where there are no 'Mike's or 'Jessica's to bother us."

"Okay," we walk out of the cafeteria and to the Volvo. Edward opened the passenger seat for me, but I shook my head. He peered at me questionably.

"Backseat," I say, I just want to cuddle up with him. He is still looking at me questionably, but shrugs it off and opens the backdoor. He almost closes it, but I reach out and pull him in with me. I think he gets it now. He leans against the, now closed, door and pulls me in to his lap while stretching his leg out across the backseat.

"I see now," he whispers in my hair. We stay like that till the bell rings, signaling the end of lunch.

--------

I walk out of gym to find Edward leaning against the wall, pouting. I go up to him and ask, "What's wrong, honey?"

"Mike is riding with us, and Alice ruses to ride, again."

"I figured that she would, that's one of the reasons we went out to the car during lunch. I didn't think that she would want to ride with him, so instead of asking her, I went to the car," I said, remembering those few peaceful minutes of alone time.

"Hey, guys," Mike says, walking up to us and shattering our sweet little moment, "we going home now?"

"Yeah," I say. I take Edward's hand in mine, and I start walking to the car. Mike walks next to me, to close for my comfort. He tries to grab my hand, but I move it so that he misses. Edward removes his hand from mine and wraps it securely around my waist; I smile up at him. Mike frowns at our exchange, but says nothing.

"Bella, why don't you sit in the back with me?" Mike asked, I think he tried to make his voice sound seductive, but it didn't work.

"No, I'm going to sit in the front, by Edward," I say, stressing the fact that I'm sitting by Edward.

"Hey, dude, why don't I drive?" Mike asked Edward. Edward gave me a wicked Grin and nodded, dropping the keys in Mike's awaiting hand.

Edward puts our school stuff in the trunk and opens the backdoor. I climb in with Edward following, I don't think that Mike was planning on that, I saw him frown in the rear view mirror.

Edward leaned against the door, much like during lunch, and I leaned against him. Seeing as a human was driving, I felt the need for us to buckle up. Obliviously, Edward did too. I turned my head to look at him, only to find his face inches from my own. I couldn't help myself; I kissed him. It was a passionate kiss that was only interrupted when someone 'coughed'. I pulled away and Edward pouted, He couldn't hold his pout when he saw how deep I was blushing.

"So, dude, do you have any awesome music?" Mike asked Edward.

"Yeah," Edward leaded up into the front seat and put in a CD.

"What's one it?" I asked him.

"It's another CD I made of songs I played, I don't think that Emmett got to this one…" he trail off, unsure about his last comment. I just snuggled into his chest and nodded.

The first song that played was my lullaby, which was made more beautiful with Edward humming along with it in my ear.

"Dude, you played that?"

"Yes."

"That stunk!"

"That was beautiful," I corrected him.

"Whatever," he replied, "who composed that anyway?"

"I did," Edward answered, "It was a gift for someone extremely important to me, she inspired it," he was gazing lovingly at me.

"So wait, you're cheating on Bella?" Mike asked, sounding hopeful.

"No, you dim-wit, he wrote it for me!" I half-shouted, outraged.

"Oh," he was quiet. The next song came on. Somehow, Edward managed to catch me singing alone with the radio, but I couldn't help myself, it's one of my favorite songs. I also couldn't help myself when I started singing along then. It was almost exactly what goes on with Edward and I, almost.

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
and he says...

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneaking' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my loving' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
that was as good as our song...

Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I... wrote down our song

I was laughing and blushing when I finished the song, "Edward?"

"Yes?"

"When did you record this?"

"I was early picking you up one day, and you started singing," I started to laugh more.

"Why did you want a CD with me singing one it?"

"Because you sing beautifully, and it sounded like you had fun singing that."

"I love that song."

"I love you."

"I love you, too," I lean towards him to kiss him again, but the car 'suddenly' swerves. I fly to the other side of the car and bang my head against the window.

"My bad, dudes," Mike said, not even trying to suppress his smirk.

"Sure," I mutter under my breath while rubbing my injured head. Edward opened up his arms and I crawled into them. He inspected my head, when he found a sore spot; I winced.

"I'm sorry, angel," he whispered as he kissed my forehead. When he didn't move to kiss my lips, I pouted. He chuckled, but then complied. We had all-but forgotten that Mike was in the car, not just in the car but also driving the car. The kiss started to get deeper, and Mike slammed on the brakes. I fell forward, seeing as I was in the middle seatbelt, and nobody ever tightens those, I slipped out of the seatbelt and hit my knee on the floor.

"Ops, sorry," You could hear the smile in his voice.

"CAN YOU NOT DRIVE OR SOMETHING????" I yelled. That really hurt. Just then, a song that Emmett managed to get on the CD came on.

Hey y'all watch this!

Daddy's belt, mamas drapes
Standin' tall on the backyard shed
Lookin' cool in my superman cape
I told the neighborhood girls
Said hey y'all, watch this
My fate was a broken arm
And my reward a one big kiss
When daddy asked me why I did it
I made him laugh out loud when I told him
Cause the chicks dig it

Scars heal... glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made, oh yeah
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
Cause the chicks dig it

Oh yeah
Mmmm

Black top road, learner permit
Thought I was Earnhardt
Drivin' fast, but I didn't see the ditch
Took out a mailbox, then a fence, then a barn
The police came and called my father
But I met the farmer's daughter
And when the judge asked me why I did it
He threw the book at me when I told him
Cause the chicks dig it

Scars heal... glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made, oh yeah
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Life is short so go on and live it
Cause the chicks dig it

Oh yeah
Ohh, oh

Just throw caution to the wind my friend
And then sit back and watch your life begin, cause

Scars heal... glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Yeah pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah, life's short so go on and live it
Cause the chicks dig it

Scars heal... glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
It don't matter if you lose or if you win it
Hey the chicks dig it
Oh yeah
Chicks dig it
Mmm
The chicks dig it
Ah, hey, aw yeah
The chicks dig it

I got this scar when I was three years old showing off for the girl next door
on my tricycle
And the one over my eye, well I got that back in '82 jumpin' off the train
tressele bridge
But I got the girl, hah, oh
The chicks dig it!

I started laughing; Emmett sings the weirdest songs to sing. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath. Edward picked me up and sat me on his lap when Emmett's next hit came on, which made me laugh even harder.

I see people gettin mad on CNN
Who's right... democrats or republicans
I don't care who's right or wrong
I know a way we can all get along

Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride on the love train
Unwind, we'll be chuga luggin all the way
Let's roll, like the stone playin all day hey
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride on a love train

The whole color thing's never made sense to me
Who gives a hoot
If your red. yellow, purple or pink
We're all mixed up anyway
We might as well give each other a brake

And take a ride
Let's take a ride on the love train
Unwind, we'll be chuga luggin all the way
Let's roll, like the stone playin all day hey
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride on a love train

So let's forget about the hatin
And the way the bulls are playin
Without Jordan on the team
And the high price of gasoline
And if your living in a bubble
Then I guess you got no troubles
But if your anything like me
Well then I bet you really need

To take a ride
Let's take a ride on the love train
Unwind, we'll be chuga luggin all the way
Let's roll, like the stone playin all day hey
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride on a love train

"Yeah, Bella, lets take a ride on the love train," Mike said suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ewe, no. Not now, not ever," I reply. Getting off the floor, where I had fallen again from laughing so hard, "And I'm still made at you," I reminded him. He pouted, and Edward and I snickered. He looked funny when he pouted; kind of like a dog that was just scolded for chewing up a shoe.

"Edward?" I tuned around in his arms.

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me," I whisper, I hadn't had a good kiss all car ride, and Mike keeps on interrupting us. It's really starting to get to me. Edward leans down to capture my lips with his. Mike swerves… again; trying to throw me off, but Edward has his hand securely and the small of my back. The only way I moved was closer to Edward. Mike suddenly stopped, in another attempt to throw me off. I stayed on Edward, the kiss deepening. All of the sudden I heard a loud crash and the sound of metal bending. Mike just crashed Edward's car.

"What did you do?" Edward screamed at him, leaning forward to the front seat, Mike flinched but didn't say a thing. He has just looking what was the passenger seat, now it was crushed, along with half the engine

"Edward?" I said, laying my hand on his shoulder.

He looked back at me and his eyes softened, " Yes, Love?"

"Are we going to have to call someone to pick us up?"

"I think we are going to have to call. And car your dad, it's an accident seen now, and I think that Mike might need to go to Carlisle," I nodded and took out Alice's cell phone; she had given it to me this morning. It started ringing and we got out of the car, well, I was picked up before I could put my feet on the ground.

"Chief Swan's desk, how can I help you?" Charlie said.

"Hey, Dad," Edward sat down on the median, and was now calling Alice.

"Hey, Bells. What is it?"

"Edward let Mike drive the Volvo home from school, and Mike crashed it."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, everyone is fine, but the car wont move on it's own, and Edward told me to call you…"

"Okay, I'll Be right there," we hung up and I turned to face Edward.

"Who's coming to get us?"

"Alice."

"Which car is she taking?"

"The Vanquish," He said, smiling.

"Oh… is mike riding with us?" I asked, frowning when I looked at him. He was sitting fetal position, rocking back and forth.

"No," Edward turned to Mike then, "Mike," he looked up, "call someone to pick you up," Edward slid the cell phone over to him.

We only had to wait a few minutes for the police to came and do… police stuff. Alice came shortly after that. When she pulled up, everyone stopped what they where doing and looked at the Vanquish.

"Th-that's her ca-car?" Mike stuttered.

"No," Edward said, "That's my other car." Mike looked dumb struck. Alice skipped other to me and pulled me into a hug, when she released me she went for Edward.

"I'm guessing that we will be taking the Vanquish to school for a while?" I asked.

"Yep," Edward wrapped his arms around my mid-drift and smiled.

"Ya'll can you home now!" Charlie called. Mike's ride still wasn't here, so we left him.

"Bella!" Mike called after I took a couple of steps. I turned around to find Mike jogging up to me. He stopped right in front of me and kissed me, he would have tried to deepen the kiss, but I pushed him off of me and socked him in the jaw. I wiped my moth and walked other to Edward, who promptly kissed me as deep as he dare with my dad right there.
