I don't own Twilight. Just my crazy ideas.
Riding in the dark. On a motorcycle, with my arms around a guy that smells so good. But I can't help but wonder what Emmett is doing. I feel a little bad for how I had talked to him.
"Quit thinking about him." Caleb yelled over the wind noise. I raised up over his shoulder which put me near his ear.
"How did you know?"
"You loosened your hold on me." He laughed. I tightened up and I think I heard him groan.
I realized we were in LaPush cause I could smell dog. I quickly buried my nose in the back of his coat.
"How much further?" I sounded muffled with my face in his back.
"Not much. Hey look there's Jake."
I groaned "I would rather not." I heard Jake holler something and the next thing I knew we were slowing down. Pulling into a parking lot Jacob was running up to us.
I rolled my eyes and held my nose. Jake just smiled he liked the fact of getting under my skin.
"Hey cuz what's up?"
"What are you doing later?" He looked at me in disgust. We were just destined to be great friends. Not.
"Depends on this lady here. Why?" He grabbed my hands and pulled them back around him like they had been when we were riding. I didn't move them away. I put my chin on his shoulder and that made Jabob cringe which made it better.
"Well some of us are going to Port Angeles for the carnival on the docks. Do you want to go?"
He paused for a minute. "Yeah, give us an hour I want to show her something then we will follow you there."
I tensed up and he patted my hand.
"Sure thing. Hey blondie are you stepping off you pedestal for a while to hang with us tonight?"
I so wanted to rip him a new ass. But I was a lady tonight. Well I'm a lady every night but tonight I was on their turf.
"I think I can handle your stench dog." Caleb just stiffened up and then relaxed at my comment.
He just laughed and told us to meet them in one hour back here and we would leave.
Caleb started the bike back up and we took off. Five minutes later we were in the abandoned driveway. He cut the engine and climbed off then held his hand out to me. I just looked at it before taking his hand. I climbed off and started to follow him up the drive.
"Can I ask where you are taking me?" I think if I wasn't able to kick his ass I probably be scared.
"It is a surprise. Don't worry I'm not bringing you up here to kill you."
"I'm not worried. I think I can take you."
He walked beside me hand in hand like we had been doing this forever. It felt comfortable. We came up on this big building. It was made of stone and up in the top window was a flickering little light.
"This used to be the old LaPush Winery. It had closed down about sixty-five years ago. No one in town has the heart to tear it down and build something different." He was watching my expression.
"This is incredible." I was in awe for words.
"You need to see the rest." We walked into the dark door and there were tiny candles about every third step leading up to the little room that held the flickering light. Even though I didn't need light to see. He probably did.
In the room was tiny little tea light candles all over the place. Red and white checkered blanket and a picnic basket. He sat me down and started to open the basket when I stopped him.
"Sorry Caleb but mom made a big dinner and I had to eat before I left the house. I'm not really hungry but this is all beautiful." I looked at his smiling eyes.
Reaching over to the basket he lifted the lid "I thought you might say something like that so I went to plan B." He pulled out a single red rose.
I could not control the smile on my face. He would be perfect for the right girl. If only. "Wow you thought of everything. I'm impressed. How did you pull this off from the time school was out to when our date began?"
"I had help." He said sheepishly. "I would love to tell you more about the winery's history but that will have to wait for another day. We only have a few minutes before we have to meet the guys and go play like kids."
Leaning over his lips touched mine. He had soft pouty lips that were warm. He tasted good. The kiss was small but potent. I started to raise my hands to touch him and his hands met mine and lowered them back down. He pulled back "Just a kiss is all I want. You don't belong to me."
"Then why go to all this trouble." I stood up and started to blow out the candles. He stopped me and made me look him in the eyes.
"I felt bad that you were part of a bet and wanted you to be comfortable. That you can go out and have a good time without the worry of me taking advantage of you." He kissed the tip of my nose."Now let's go to the carnival."
Had to give him brownie points he has charm. Knows how to give you just enough to make you want more.
The ride back to town was cozy. He gave me his jacket and it was warm. And smelled wonderful. Pulling into the parking lot it was all I could do to keep from gagging. Jacob, Embry, Seth, Leah, Sam, and Emily were waiting on us. They didn't look happy but they were tolerating me. The least I could do was keep my mouth shut. I was so going to pay dearly for this night so I better enjoy this now.
They were being nice to me and Emily came up and gave me a hug. Bella said she was super nice. We followed them to Port Angeles and the place was packed. If I had been a nomad I would have been in hog heaven. Thank God I hunted a few days ago.
The first thing we did was buy bracelets. Seth wanted to ride all the rides. Caleb bought mine and we were off. Seth had us riding everything from the merry go round to the ferris wheel. Playing games and they were eating at every food stand there. I ways actually having a great time. I laughed to the point if I could cry I would have tears. Emily came up to me and thanked me for coming. She is so nice.
Caleb and Sam were throwing balls at some mugs. Jacob came up to me and put an arm around my shoulder. I bunched up my nose and made a bad face. He just smiled.
"Your not so bad when you get away from the other leeches."
"Watch it dog. I can still kick your ass." I smiled. "By the way is your cousin one of you?"
"No but he is different from me. He is human."
"Thanks that helped a lot." Caleb turned to me and smiled and put his arm around my waist.
"I know we need to head back I didn't noticed it was already after eleven. And we have school tomorrow." He started to walk me towards the bike. I stopped him.
"Just one more ride on the ferris wheel. Me and you." I pulled him near me and he put his inside his jacket and around my waist. I just looked him in the eyes and I saw an old soul in them. It was our turn to get on.
"My turn to ask questions."
"Shoot." He smiled
"You know what Jacob and the rest are. Are you one of them?" I knew Jake answered my question but I want to hear his.
"I can't change. But I am different." Looking out over the carnival. "But I also know you are different too."
Turning back to face him "What do you know?"
He held my hand rubbing circles with his thumb. "I know you don't eat. You are beyond beautiful. You smell different. I'm totally attracted to you. And I don't care how scary your boyfriend is or if he tries to rip me apart tomorrow. I don't care. "
Right before we got off the ride. I leaned into him and put my head on his shoulder. "I'm bad for you. I'm not what you need. Eventually I'm not what you will want. But I will be your friend."
"That's all I ask." He kissed the top of my head and we got off and walked towards the bike.
The ride back to Forks was peaceful. Clean air from being away from the dogs. Sorry wolves. I just layed my head on his back and enjoyed the ride.
We pulled up next to my car and I got off. "Thank you I really had a good time tonight. I would also love to see the winery during the day sometime."
"Great whenever you want to come back. You are always welcome."
"That might just be you talking." I smiled and he laughed.
"Good night Rose. See you in school tomorrow." I leaned into him and kissed him. He brought his hands up to my face and his tongue was searching for more. I grabbed his hands and lowered them down to his sides.
"I just wanted a kiss. Night Caleb." I got into my car and started to pull out of the parking lot. I looked back in my mirror and he was laughing to himself. He fell for his own line.
My ride to the house was a quick one. All I can think about was the fun normal human things I did tonight. We all will have to go to carnival soon. All us Cullens.
I turned into the driveway of our house and as I opened my garage door Emmett was standing there with nothing but pure rage coming off him.
OMG!! What has she gotten herself into??
