Chapter 7 The Chemistry Between Us
Edward`s POV
We arrived a few seconds later at the Black's house. I slowed down as Paul did and looked around slowly. I saw the old red house, made out of wood. Next to it was the large garage, where Jacob built and repaired his dirt bikes. One was parked in front ofthe building. Paul was standing in the middle of the front yard - looking at us and playing with his ears. Then the grey wolf took a look into the near forest and took off into the giant, old trees. He was gone.
"Paul?" I called him. I shook my head in disbelief that he left us here alone. That made me nervous.
Then I felt eyes on me. Several eyes! I could hear their voices in my head. The wolf pack was watching us from the forest line. I turned my attention back to the house and could smell Jacob and Billy in there. The strong animal smell was penetrating! I turned my head away - trying not to vomit in the mud under my shoes. Suddenly the front door opened and we saw Billy, wearing a black and red shirt and ablue jeans, in his wheelchair. He watched my father and motioned us to come over.
"Carlisle." He said in his low and friendly voice. "I heard about yesterday. Come in, please."
My father nodded sharply and wandered over to the stairs. I noticed movement in the forest near me. The wolves again. Bushes were shoved aside and Sam Uley, the leader of the pack, came out of the thick undergrowth. He was wearing short jeans and nothing else. He observed me. He irritated me! Before I could think straight or put myself back together a deep growl erupted from my chest and my eyes flashed black. How I hated these wolves.
"Edward! Don't, please." Carlisle warned me in his authoritative voice. My head shot in his direction. He was standing on the porch and was watching us. He moved his head in the direction of the open door. "I would really like to clear this up before I have to go to the hospital in a few hours. And I don't want any patients beforemy shift. Alright?"
Is he worried about me now or Sam here? I nodded at my father, shot Sam another unfriendly look and walked through the mud over to the house. At a human pace I climbed up the ramp and Billy turned his wheelchair around. We followed him inside. As the door shut behind me, I quickly turned my attention to our host with the large black cowboy hat. Billy was smiling.
There was movement in the other room behind him. Of course I did smell Jacob in here and now he came out to greet us. He gave my father a look, smiled halfway and then his brown eyes burned into mine. It was really hot in here - not only from the wolves'heat, but from their tempers as well.
Billy wheeled over to the only table in the room und gestured for us to take a seat. Dad took a chair and sat. Jacob stood in the door frame and crossed his arms over his muscular chest. He hadn't taken his eyes off me, since I entered the house - a very unwelcoming and lengthy aggressive gesture! I preferred to stand at the door, since my Dad chose to sit down.
"Billy." He began the conversation by crossing his arms on the table top. "I'm sorry about last evening. Things got out of hand. Edward can be really hot tempered sometimes ..."
"Sometimes ..."I heard Jacob's thoughts in my mind and shot him an angry look. He snickered. I let out a deep growl, but kept my position.
Carlisle shot me a warning look from the table. "Shut up, will you?"
I huffed, but glared at Bella's friend again. Carlisle tapped his fingers on the wood of the table top. I was getting on his nerves now. Jake,on the other hand, snickered louder now and I could see victory in his eyes. I growled deeper and angrier this time. A loud bang came from the direction of the table and I moved my eyes from Jacob to my father. He had slammed his hand down on the wood. Not so hard that he broke the table but hard enough to give me a message. He'd had enough!
I gulped, then moved my eyes back to Jacob, who was teasing me in his head.
My father cleared his throat. "I told you to shut up, Edward!" He raised an eye brow at me in question. "Can I talk to Billy now? In peace, please? ... If I have to rebuke you one more time, we can quickly go outside for a moment, you got that?"
Of course I knew to what he was referring to. I would get a few more swats to my already sore and aching behind if overreacted again. I nodded. "Yes, sir. I got you!"
"Good." He watched Billy again who had shot his own son a warning look. Carlisle continued. "I don't know how much Jacob told you about yesterday, Billy?... but our sons had a little tête-â-tête in my garden and Edward threw him over our banister. Sadly I have to admit that it was not a play fight. And my son here was the one who threw the first punch,if you can call it that." Billy nodded that he understood and Dad went on. "Is this right, Edward?"
"Yes, Dad." I answered him. I knew I could not lie about this. Carlisle saw everything. Thank god, he punished me for this already ...
"I understand, Carlisle, but ..." Billy began slowly and took a quick look at Jacob. "It takes two, correct?Jacob? Did you provoke Edward in your mind or something like that?"
Now our eyes were on Jacob. I could tell, he was nervous. "Ehm, Dad ... I ... come on what can I do? Not think anymore, or what? It is not my fault that he is wandering in my head!"
I did not growl or anything like that, but I shot him a glare. "Then don't think so loud and please, control your thoughts!"
"He is right, Jake!" Billy told him to my surprise. My eyes flew to him and he smiled a bit. Carlisle was silent and Jake opened his mouth to interrupt his father. Billy held up a finger in warning. "Don't. You know about his special gift and you did it on purpose, I think! Am I right, my son?"
Silence. "JACOB?"
If my Dad hadn't warned me a few minutes ago I would have been snickering now - loud! Jake bowed his head in shame. "Yes, Dad! I know it was wrong, okay?" Then he turned to me. "I'm sorry, Edward, I ... was wrong yesterday. Playing with your gift was wrong."
Thinking about Bella was wrong, you idiot! ...
Billy nodded - satisfied about the answer and apology he heard. "Okay!"
Carlisle turned to me then. "Well?"
I rolled my eyes. Slowly I opened my mouth and grinned. "I am sorry, that I almost killed you."
"Edward." My father warned me. "A proper apology, please."
I shrugged my shoulders in defeat. "I am really sorry that I threw you over our banister and in our garden tried to sink my teeth in your neck!" My eyes shifted to Dad again. "Good now? Can we go home, please?"
He shook his head and grinned. Billy grinned too and clapped my father friendly on the left shoulder. "I feel you, Carlisle, and I am sorry about the whole mess! I hope everything is okay now?"
Dad nodded and stood up. "Sure. Thanks Billy for inviting us here today. Believe me, there will be not a repeat of this any time soon ... " He gave me a look. "Shall we go now?"
Finally ...
Carlisle came over and I winked at Jacob. We went out and I could see Paul in his wolf form coming out of the forest. I listened to his thoughts and looked at my Dad. "Paul will escort us home."
"Good." Carlisle placed a hand on my butt and I winced at the pressure. We went over to the grey wolf and my father took me by the shoulder to stop me. "I meant what I told Billy in there! There will no repeat of what I saw yesterday evening in my garden! Do I make myself clear, Edward?"
I straightened my shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Yes, Dad. I understand!"
He ruffled my bronze hair and smiled at me. "Good boy!"
I smiled back at him. Paul ran off again in the direction we had come from. I shook my head and bit my lip as I felt my hurting behind again. Tomorrow and the rest of the coming week, I will have to ask Bella or my siblings to drive me places.
Yeah, no car ... no life!
The End.
