"Scar! Scarlette! Scarlette Black!" I heard being yelled into my ear when I woke up.
"Uhhhhhhhh!" I said as I pulled the covers over my head. I was Quil.
"Wake up!!!!!" He yelled as he shook me. "There is a shinny car in the driveway for you!" He yelled.
"My car is here? That Fast?" I said as I jumped up and ran towards the door. I heard Quil and Seth jogging behind me as I ran gracefully down the stairs. I turned, slid on the hardwood floor, but caught myself as I stumbled towards the door.
I ran outside and saw my Nissan 370z black cherry roadster sitting there.
"Yay!" I said as I ran to is and hugged it. I hopped in the driver seat, and Jake was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Wanna ride?" I asked, excited to get going.
"Hell yeah!" He said as he buckled his seatbelt. I turned the key in the ignition, and pressed the "start" button, and it roared to life. I buckled up, and took off, seeing Quil yelling at me in the rear view, and Seth smiling. There was something about him that I liked, especially when he was in his boxers, but I would save that for later. I just have one little problem.
My hormones are running a marathon when I see him and I have no clue why.
Seth's POV
Scarlette took off in her car. I smiled as I watched her go. She just looked so excited. It's funny how you can only know someone for less than twenty-four hours, and yet be head over heals for them.
When I saw here get out of bed this morning in that tank top and short cotton shorts, I about died.
"Man, that's a nice car." Quil said beside me, pulling me out of my fantasizing.
"Yeah, she is." I said. Quil gave me a weird look.
"How can you tell the difference if it's a boy or a girl?" He asked.
"Never mind." I said as I realized my mistake.
"I'm not stupid." Quil said.
"You're not?" I responded.
"You got a thing for Scar. I mean, I can be stupid at some thing, but this is too easy." He said.
"It's not just a thing Quil, I imprinted on her yesterday." I said as I took a deep breath, waiting on Quil to say something. This was his closest cousin, other than Jake.
"You're shitting me." He responded in more for a statement form than a question. "Good luck, but Jake might rip your head off." Quil said as he started to laugh. We both walked back in. I headed for the fridge to start cooking. Quil ate all the cereal last night, and all we had left was one poptart, which Jake already ate half of it, and a lot of cooking breakfast food.
I grabbed the bacon and sausage, and started in.
Scarlette's POV
Jake and I pulled back up to the house. We went on the interstate and I hit one-hundred and twenty-three miles an hour.
Talking about a morning rush.
"Something smells good in here." I said as I walked into the kitchen. I saw Seth standing there wearing an full body apron, only in his boxers.
"Seth? You cook? Dressed like that?" I said gesturing towards his outfit.
"Don't diss it to you try his food." Jake said as he walked in the door. "That was awesome." He started in when he sat down next to Quil.
"Yeah, I got something awesome to tell you too, Jake." Quil said as he looked at Seth.
"What's going on?" Jake asked.
"I can sense an argument, so I think I will go take a shower." I popped in as I ran towards the steps to take a shower.
Seth's POV
"Seth, explain." Jake said as he crossed his arms. The loud shower kicked on, so I knew Jake might explode.
"Well, yesterday, when Scarlette arrived. When I was helping her with her bags, I looked her in the eyes, and I imprinted on her." I spat out.
"You imprinted on her? She has been her for twenty-four hours and I haven't had anytime with her, and now I've found out you imprinted on her? On Scar?" Jacob said as he walked around in circles.
"So, you're not going to kill me?" I asked.
"No. I can't kill you. You can't control who you imprint on. Like when I imprinted on Ness." He said as he still paced the floor. "Speaking of Ness, what time is it?" He asked.
"11:30" I responded.
"Okay, I gotta go, I told her I would go shopping with her and Claire." Jake said as he grabbed his keys, and a shirt off the floor. " Come on Quil, Don't worry about looking good, Alice will have us change anyway." And with that, they were gone.
"Well, that went easier than planed." I said to myself as I took all the food off the stove.
After I ate, I went upstairs to get dressed for the day. I made my way to the top of the steps, and saw Scarlette standing there in a very small towel.
"Hey Seth." She said just like she was dressed. Was she not even embarrassed?
"Umm, hey. Are you done in the bathroom?" I asked a little shocked.
"Yeah, it's all yours." Scarlette said as she turned around and walked into her room laughing. She closed the door and I heard her laughing hysterically.
I looked down. That was why, and I am now completely embarrassed.
Stupid hormones.
I went and got clothes, and went to get in the shower to try and forget what happened.
Scarlette's POV
I got dressed after I stopped laughing. Seth defiantly liked me after that. I have never told anyone this, but I can read minds. I have done it for years. I think the first time I started to, was after a freak car accident. I heard the paramedics mind as he pulled me out of the trash, and I was flipping out on him.
And Seth's mind wasn't that bad until now. I don't think I have ever read a guys mind that had more love than lust for me in it. My old boyfriend, Andy, had the worst mind ever, worst than Quil's. I still haven't figured out what imprinting is either.
But I will.
I finished setting up my room last night, do now it looked awesome. I had my big stereo sitting on the short and chunky dresser. My black moon chair was in one corner with a picture of me above it. I had a bunch of pictures hanging on the wall actually. I had pictures of me, some of Andy, and some of old friends. I had about five of Quil, Me, and Jake when we were younger.
"Scar? You awake?" I heard Jake yell from outside my door. "I got someone I want you to meet." He said in a prudish tone.
"Yeah, come in." I said as I hopped off the bed. Jake opened the door and walked in hand in hand with a gorgeous girl, who looked about eighteen. I mean, I wasn't rainbow or anything, but she was really pretty.
"Scarlette, this is Renesmee. Ness, this is my cousin Scar." He said as he motioned to us with his hands.
"Nice to meet you. Jake has told me a lot about you." I said as she reached in for a hug. I heard Jake thanking me, without knowing it, in his thoughts. Renes-however you pronounced her name, Ness? Was shocked that Jake said anything about her to me.
"I surprised that he mentioned me." She said as she pulled away, giving Jake a sideways smile.
"Yeppers." I said smiling.
"Ness? Edward wants you home, now." I heard a guy yell from downstairs.
"Yeah Emmett, I'm coming." She responded.
"Well, I'm coming up." Emmett replied, and then her was there, like lightning fast.
"So, this is Jake's cousin." Emmett said with a big goofy grin as he stood beside Jake. "Dude, she's hot." he said as he elbowed Jacob. My face flushed bright red.
"I gotta go Jake, see you later." Ness said as she kissed Jake on the cheek and left with Emmett.
"That was embarrassing." Jake and I said at the same time.
"Knock, knock." Seth said from the doorway.
"Yeah." Jake and I said at the same time. I was getting tired of this.
"I wanted to talk to Scarlette." He said, which surprised me. Jake glanced at me, and then at Seth. I decided to stop blocking their thoughts and figure out what's going on.
What does he want to talk to her about? Jake Thought as he left the room.
Calm, cool, and collect. Seth thought as he walked towards me. His eyes were running up and down my body. Don't loose focus, Seth Clearwater. All you are doing is asking her if she wants to go out Saturday. Tomorrow? God, I gotta plan better. He thought. He was going to ask me out? Mrs. Twelvepack was going to ask me out?
"Hey Scarlette, umm, I was sort of, kinda, wanting to know if you would like to go out tomorrow night. With me? On a date maybe?" He asked as a half grin danced on his face with a half smile.
"Yes!" I said a little to eagerly. "I mean, I would love to." I retried.
"Great." Seth said as he smiled big, and left the room. I still read his mind.
She said yes. This could be the start of something new. Something wonderful. Maybe I can tell her the big secret in the next month. And then a bunch of images of wolves flashed through his head. Maybe this whole imprint thing isn't going to be so bad. Seth thought as he left the house and went out of my range. I decided that I would go shopping with my bitch of a moms credit card, and go buy some new tennis shoes from the thoughts of Seth's plan.
