Chapter Four
Lodgings
"It's easier for them to meet us in a deserted cave…"
We drove to town in silence. No one knew what to say. When my mother handed me a hundred I promised to call her but she shook her head like she'd wake up any minuet now.
Jacob grabbed my suitcase and slung my bag over his shoulder while I commanded my mother to read Twilight. Her promises were half-hearted as she waved and drove away, watching us walk into a Best Western.
I took out my money and began to walk over to the front desk but Jacob grabbed my arm. He seemed to like to do that.
"Where are you going?" Jacob asked me. What a stupid question!
"Over the rainbow!" Jacob raised an eyebrow at me. "To go buy a room?" Instead of stating it I asked wondering why he was looking at me like that.
He grinned mischievously. "We aren't staying here." I looked at him puzzled. "That was for show," he went on. "We are staying in the mountains. I found a cave not far from here."
I snorted in disbelief but he looked serious. "What?!"
He put his finger to his lips, trying to calm me down. "We don't have enough money."
"I have a…" I started but then I realized that wasn't the real reason. I put my hands on my hips. "What aren't you telling me Jacob Black?"
He gave up. "We will be having….. Company later and its easier for them to meet us in a deserted cave then a populated hotel."
"Oh! Who?!" I suddenly got excited.
"Sam said he was bringing Embry and Paul."
My eyes got wide. "Paul."
He laughed. "You read too much."
"Paul." Was all I could say again.
"He won't hurt you! I'll make sure of that!" He smiled. "A pack member could never hurt an imprintion. He'd never hurt a brother like that."
"Of coarse you will!" I tried to sound convinced. "You are indestructible!"
"Right!" His confidence helped. "We better hurry up. It's starting to snow again."
We walked a little ways until we were completely alone. Then, without asking, Jacob cradled me like a baby and told me to close my eyes. As soon as I did I fell asleep.
I awoke when Jacob sat me down on a blanket that was on the cave floor. "Sorry, did I wake you?"
Of coarse you did. "No not at all!" Then my senses kicked in. Especially touch. Again with the cold!
I began to shiver dramatically. My teeth began to chatter so hard I thought they would break. My arms instinctively went to my shoulders but that did nothing. I didn't know what to say.
"C…C...Cold!" I finally shouted though the sound came out small.
Jacob was rummaging through a bag. "I know! I'm trying to find the other blanket," he informed. Half a minuet later, he took out a fleece blanket and dropped it over me. I groaned. It wasn't helping much.
"Ssshhh… I'm coming. I just need to grab some food!" I heard him move some stuff before he came back with five now cold hot dogs, two cups of hot cocoa, two large bags of chips and a water bottle.
"Some? Looks more like a buffet," I mumbled.
He laughed. "Werewolf."
I shook my head. "Pig," I corrected. He laughed again, put the food near my head, and got underneath the blanket for my benefit.
I still shivered but less violently as the heat radiating off of Jacobs skin warmed me up. I wanted some Hot Chocolate but that meant that I would have to get up and keep getting up to take sips.
Jacob must have thought of this hours ago because he handed me a sippy cup. Spill proof. Sweet!
"Did you go shopping?" My voice was normal now that I was remotely close to warm.
"What gave it away?" He smiled with those beautifully white teeth.
"A hunch," I stated then added, "The spill proof cups might have hinted a little." I sucked on mine for affect. The drink felt so good.
Jacob got a little closer to me. His breath was warm. "Just admit it." His breath rushed into my face. "I'm smart."
"Mum says not to lie," I played. He faked hurt and put his hand to his bare chest.
"After all I did for you!" He laughed because it was suppose to be a joke but it was so true. Jacob Black had bought hot chocolate, blankets and sippy cups for me! He's even letting me eat one of his five cold hot dogs! He even morphed back into a man after six months of being a wolf.
I took a sip of hot chocolate so that I didn't have to say anything. The cup made funny noises as air escaped the lid. We looked into each others eyes for a moment. How cheesy! Still I loved every minuet of it.
"You look tired," Jake whispered, moving a lock of hair out of my face.
"When was the last time you slept?" I asked. He struggled not knowing if he should tell me.
"It's been 48 hours since I've taken a nap. Six months since I have slept soundly." He admitted truthfully.
"Maybe you should sleep then!" I was horrified. He shook his head,
"No. Not until Sam gets here." I was about to protest. "It is all right. He will be here soon. Just get some rest."
I closed my eyes to blink but realized I really was tired and did not open them.
