"Hey...wake up Bella." I soft voice cooed above me. "We're here."
"Edward?" I drawled sitting up and hugging the body next to me.
"No try again." Said the voice, as two warm arms held me closer.
I pulled back quickly. "Go die Jacob." I muttered.
"Nah, not if you greet me like that every time you wake up." He said grinning the grin I loved.
So it wasn't a dream. I seriously just got kidnapped by my best friend on my wedding day. Edward was right...you could bottle up my bad luck and use it as a weapon. It was getting to be a little too much sometimes.
What was next? I get hit by an ice cream truck...?
I sighed and stood up. "You changed spots with Embry." I said groggily. No wonder the lack of drool on my shoulder.
I looked around the tiny car still wondering how all of us fit in here, the dull gray upholstery making my attitude more bitter. I sat my self up, and yawned. I felt so stiff! I twisted my neck until I heard a crack.
"Ow..." I muttered. Cranning my neck once more only to find Jacob staring at me. He looked terrible, there were dark circles underlying his eyes, his fore head was furrowed as though thinking. It seemed like an permanent expression on his tired face.
"Geez Jacob did you get any sleep last night?"
You talk a lot in your sleep, Bella." Jacob said suddenly furrowing his eyebrows, "I was considering smothering you with a pillow..." He sighed.
"Very funny, Jake." I said, ignoring him, now stretching out the kinks in my back.
He smiled broadly. "It paid off though...you're a cuddler."
"W-what?!" I froze and A blush flowed quickly to my cheeks. Oh please tell me I didn't cuddle with Jacob black!
"S-shut up." I scowled folding my arms. "If I did cuddle with you it was because Edward was on my mind."
He instantly stiffened at the mention of Edward, and returned my scowl. "What ever you say, Bella." he muttered.
"Hey," Embry said looking back from the driver's seat. "I'm trying to sleep..." He pouted.
He then cocked his head looking nervous. "Somthing up, Jake?" He asked looking from Jake to me to a forgotten pocket knife behind me, he probably realized I was this close to using it...
Quil was still sleeping soundly in the passenger seat.
"It's nothing." I managed to say averting my glare to Embry. "Jacob is just being difficult."
Jacob huffed loudly.
"Well lets go then." I sighed. Using Jacob's shirt to pull myself up.
I decided to let them have their fun. Until Edward came for me of course. I give him two days tops.
I smiled to myself, then stopped because all eyes were on me.
"What?..." I asked, feeling awkward.
"You're not going out like that." Embry said grinning impishly.
"No."
"Come on, Bells you didn't think I'd let you walk in to an airport like that." Jake said nodding towards my now ruined wedding dress. "Now change." He finished.
"'Not into that!" I snarled, "I mean Jake what the hell were you thinking?!"
He quickly stole a glance at the daisy dukes and tank top.
"I-I thought they would look good on you." He finished looking down.
"Pervert!" I screamed jabbing my finger into his face.
"N-no...I bet it will be comfortable.."
His russet skin was now turning redder by the minute.
We were still in the car and I was resisting the urge to punch him in the face, but considering how last time went I kept my fist clutched at my sides. Quil and Embry were standing outside, looking in nervously. I guess Jake was the one who was suckered into proposing this new "out fit" for me to wear.
"Please, Bella?" His lower lip jutted out and his expression was anguished. " I just wanted us to have fun. You know?"
"No, you just wanted me not to marry Edward." I folded my arms and my mouth was in a hard line.
"Bella...please."
I sighed his expression was truly pathetic.
"Jacob we need to work a few things out."
His grip on the outfit faltered. "Work what out?"
"Whats going to happen when Edward comes..." I said slowly.
I was hoping we could work something- no anything out before Edward came. The last thing I wanted was for Edward and Jacob to fight. The thought alone was enough to have moisture swimming through my eyes.
"I'd let you go..." He said quietly.
That caused me to do a double take. What he actually going to be cooperative about this!
"Really?" I asked.
"If he comes." He said just as quietly.
"What makes you think he won't come?" I asked getting annoyed.
Quil knocked on the door impatiently signaling us to hurry up.
"If he thinks you're better off...then no." He answered confident.
"He'll come." I replied surely.
"Sure sure." He replied shrugging.
Augh! He was so aggravating! Did he think Edward was just going to leave me?
"For now..." He said brightening up. "Just think of it as a vacation!" He smiled hugely, hugging me as he slyly put the clothes in my arms.
He stood back still smiling and opened the car door. "We'll keep guard outside the car. You can change in here. I won't peek." He turned so I could see him wink. "I promise."
Some how I wasn't comforted by that...
