Since Jacob had decided to tag along on this trip, everyone agreed that taking two cars would work better. Emmett, Rosalie, Jacob, and Leah all rode with Edward in the shiny Volvo. Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, and Esme rode in the other. The Civil war soldier had claimed he couldn't bear to be in a car having to do with not only Edward and Jacob's jealously, but Emmett's over excited emotions. Leah had rolled her eyes and called him a pansy. He just wanted to see her suffer, she was sure of it. He wanted to make sure she would be in the most awkward situation ever and he had succeeded. His little pixie of a wife had followed him obviously enjoying the she-wolf's torment as well.
It had only been an hour in to the ride when the complaining started. Edward had insisted since it was his car he should be able to choose the music. A Debussy CD had been put in and right away Emmett had taken out his Ipod so he could listen to his stuff. He knew arguing with Edward about music would get nowhere and so he let his younger brother win this battle. He knew when something was a lost cause. Jacob Black must not have gotten the memo.
The alpha was twitching when Claire De Lune started and he leaned from the back seat where he was sitting behind Leah. He clicked off the CD player and let a happy moan. "Finally we are done with that garbage! Not all of us in this car can actually afford to waste money on Ipod's. We actually have to spend money on important things like food right Lee?"
"Well actually," The girl wolf bit her bottom lip and reached in to her pocket to pull out an Ipod touch with a pair of headphones. "I have one Jake. It was a gift for my birthday. Do you want to borrow it? You break it and I beat your ass."
Jacob scowled but took the device anyways. He sighed and flopped back against his seat with his arms crossed. He chose to look out the window when he noticed Leah rest her hand on the mind readers thigh. There was only so much he could take before he snapped. Stupid leech trying to take his Leah. He probably wanted to turn in to one of his kind. He would rather she be dead than ever risk her becoming one of them. He would not let the girl he loved die because her boyfriend suddenly got hungry and she happened to be the only edible thing around.
Edward smirked at the annoyance in the male mutt's thoughts. He shot his girlfriend a dazzling smile once he was sure that Jacob was no longer listening. "Now I am going to have to buy you a new Ipod. His germs probably infected it the second he touched it."
"Don't be mean." She stated and tried to hold in her laughter. Her face started to turn red from the effort. Finally she decided to just give him and let her laughter over take her. "You can't egg him on like that. Do you want a giant wolf in your precious car? Trust me when I say that the car would not win that particular battle."
The mind reader grumbled under his breath. "I can't help it. If he does not like my taste in music then he probably should not have tagged along. You know better than anyone how I am when it comes to music. The only person who is allowed to change the station or CD is you and that's because I love you. I could give two cents about the others. They should've brought Rosalie's car along if they had a problem with it."
He felt a pressure on the back of his head as his blond sister smacked him hard. If he had been human his skull would've most likely caved in. "I am sitting right here and can hear you. The dog had a point though as much as it kills me to say this. You should think of everyone who has to suffer and not just your own pleasure."
"I'm sorry that I can't find it within myself to bow down to your greatness Rosalie." The bronze haired vampire snapped and hissed. Rosalie had to open her mouth and ruin a perfectly good moment he had been sharing with Leah.
The tanned shifter female rolled her eyes and clicked on the radio. "Stop squabbling you two! You know something that is really sad? Emmett is the best behaved one in the car right now besides me. I think because of this I should be the one to pick the music and I decided to listen to some good old fashion rock. ACDC has won this battle and anyone who has a problem with his can kiss my shifter ass!"
"Word!" Emmett's booming voice filled the car as he shut off his Ipod and stuck his head between the two seats in the front. "Little sis you completely rock did you know that?"
"I've always know that Em, where have you been? One day the world will cower at my greatness." She turned slightly in her seat so she could high five the biggest vampire. One she had turned back around she kicked her shoes off and put her feet up on the dash. "Anyone have any complaints about my taste in music?"
Her boyfriend raised a pale hand. "I feel the need to complain just so you will keep the other end of your promise."
His beautiful blond sister scoffed and kicked the seat again. "No perverted comments or I swear I will start thinking about Emmett and I's nightly activities."
"I cringe at the very thought." Edward replied and started to bob his head with the music. Eventually he began to sing along. "Dirty deed's done dirt cheap!"
Leah smirked and started to sing along. Soon Emmett had joined in and everyone minus Jacob was laughing. He simply continued to scowl and look out the window. Finally he took out the earphones and tapped Leah on the shoulder. When he spoke he made sure to purposely not direct his question to the parasites in the vehicle with him.
"Lee I think you need to remind the leeches we need to eat. I feel like I could eat a fucking horse by this point." To show the truth behind his statement his stomach grumbled rather loudly.
Edward clenched his jaw when he realized he and his siblings had been purposely ignored. "While I do not share your hunger, I do know that my girlfriend needs to eat. She needs her energy for later at the hotel room. I am sure by then I will be hungry enough to eat a wolf."
"Good one bro!" Emmett cheered at the dirty statement which came from his mind reading, blood drinking brother.
Everyone in the car knew the statement had not been a threat to the alpha wolf. The native American female felt her shoulders shake in amusement. "Yeah well I am sure later I will be in the mood to become a fan of necrophilia. Right now I am more in the mood for actual food. Text Dr. Fang that Jacob and I need to eat and pull over to the first place that serves greasy burgers. I'm so hungry I think my stomach may cave in from lack of being filled."
Her undead lover squeezed her thigh and smiled as he rested his elbow against the wheel as a way to steer so he could text Carlisle. "You know when you get so graphically gross it only makes me love you more."
TBC…
AN: I know that this chapter was lacking a lot of plot, but I thought a filler chapter would be fun to write and it also shows some of the tension in the car. I think that I like perverted Edward. He can be outright funny when he wants to be. Anyways, I do hope that you like this chapter. I have decided that it will take a little while for them to find answers so if you want to see something happen during the road trip then let me know in a review and I promise to try and get to it if I can find a wayt o make it fit in with the story.
Please R&R like always!
