CHAPTER TWENTY
Eggs
or
(Super Powered Hearing Wolf People)
haha that one was just for jokes
I should have known it wouldn't have been that easy. After three tries I gave up. If he wasn't going to answer the phone then I would just have to go there myself. Jake took the distance back that he had given. He grabbed me into an impossibly large hug and brushed aside my hair from my face.
"Bella?"
"Yes?" He tightened his hold.
"Although I love you and everything about you drives me crazy", he winced, "I think you could use a shower". His eyes darted towards the bathroom. I looked over as well. "I'm pretty sure Leah isn't in there anymore". Great. Now the boy who runs around in the dirt all day is calling me stinky. I raised an eyebrow. "No offence", he smiled while running his nose along my neck and pausing there. A warm whisper met my ear. "I could join you, you know if you wanted me to". I pushed back only to see a giant grin taking place on his face.
"Jacob Black!" His grin grew even more. "I think I'll be just fine showering alone!" He didn't seem embarrassed or even taken back by this. He knew the house was full of super powered hearing wolf people and he knew I wouldn't say yes.
"Okay. Whatever you want". With that he grabbed for the closet door and pulled out an orange towel. "Here you go. Enjoy". I took it with a questioning gaze. He was just a little too happy at the moment. But I chose to step out of his grasp and head for the shower. It really was about time I'd gotten the bathroom. Leah was such a hog.
With the door shut behind me I pulled back the curtain revealing a small tiled bath tub. I hadn't realized until now that I hadn't seen Jacob's bathroom before. It was small, but that wasn't a surprise. Everything here was small. Except for all the werewolves. I laughed at that. Picturing everyone in here probably made Jake's house look like a small car full of clowns. A much too small space for much to large people. The shortest one had to be Leah and she was at least six two. Realizing that I got a picture of myself. I must look like a midget around them. I turned the facet and watched as the seaming water started to fill the empty air. Stripping off my cloths I looked in the mirror and examined my face. I was much to normal for my own good. I just couldn't see what Jacob could see in me. What made me so special? Deciding that the water was now hot enough to get in, I pulled back the curtain and placed myself under the hot streams. God it had been a while since I'd had a good shower. Seeing that my arms were covered in dirt I glanced down at my legs which were also stained with brown. No wonder Jacob wanted me to shower. Who would want to touch a mud person? Grabbing at the soap I started my attempt to rid myself of my mud persona when I heard the door creak open. Hadn't I locked it? It was probably Jake trying to further persuade me into sharing my shower. I figured I'd tease him. Lifting up my arms I slowly started to massage the shampoo into my hair. I was certain the shadow I caste on the certain was driving him wild.
"Don't go getting all hot and bothered. It's just me". My mouth dropped in surprise along with my arms. This defiantly was not Jacob. But why would she be in here? What could she possibly want? I popped my head outside the curtain taking in all that was my surprise. Instead of speaking I growled.
"What do you want Leah?" She sat gripping onto the toilet cover. Whatever she wanted it must have been important. Otherwise she wouldn't have been acknowledging my existence at the moment.
"I wanted to speak to you". I cast a glare.
"Did it have to be while I was in the shower?" She dropped her gaze.
"Well this was the only time I could find. Everyone else seems to always be around, but Sam just had them all go out scouting". I scrunched up the curtain.
"Then why aren't you with them?" She grimaced with this question.
"Sam didn't find it necessary to send me out. He wants to keep as many of us safe as he can. Plus someone needed to stay with you". I crumpled inside at this. Where Jacob was wasn't safe? Could he be in trouble? I'd been so careful to keep him in my sight and now with taking a simple shower Sam had managed to drag him away from me! Leah caught my panic. "It's fine Bella. Jake's fine. They're just running around looking for scents". I felt better with this. My calm started to come back.
"So what do you want Leah?" She scowled and almost didn't speak. A minute passed until she finally opened her mouth.
"Bella…I…well you see….". What was she getting at? I just wanted to take my shower and wait for Jacob to come home. "Bella I don't really hate you….I just don't like you". Well that was interesting. Leah didn't hate me, she just didn't like me. I wasn't sure where she was going with this so I just blurted it out.
"I don't really care how you feel about me Leah. Truthfully I don't like you either". Her tension lessened as she placed her hands in her lap.
"Well good". Good? This girl was mental. "I just wanted you to know that I didn't hate you. Really there's nothing personal about it". I wasn't sure how to take this statement. Was it a compliment or an insult? I guess I didn't really care. Leah wasn't among the people that I tried to please. With that she stood up and left the bathroom. I pulled my head back into the shower and caught myself in thought. What the hell was that? It was weird is what it was. I figured I wasn't going to get much out of what just happened until I'd talked to Jacob, so I continued with my shower and ignored it.
…
When he finally returned it was dark out. I had already given up and was now laying in his bed reading a book. The door bounced open and hit the wall. Jacob blushed as he shut the door. I leaned forward and noticed a hole roughly the size of the door knob that was now in the wall. Flipping through the pages I giggled.
"Don't know your own strength do you wolf boy?" He tore off his shirt and threw it into a pile on the floor. It looked far past mending possibilities. I guess it didn't matter since I didn't know how to sew. I continued to unceremoniously flip through the pages of the book, trying my hardest to not take in all that was him. He wasn't going to win me over tonight. Because of him I had to go through that awkward and pointless talk with Leah. He'd thrown me to the dogs yet again. Well dog I guess. There was just the one. He snuck up on the bed and laid himself next to me, letting me take in the sent that was him. He smelled of wood and earth. Nothing smelled so good to me until now. A warm hand slid it's way up my leg leaving a fiery path. I fidgeted and almost dropped my book. A roar of laughter expelled from his mouth.
"Bella honey, why are you reading the manual to my Volkswagen rabbit?" I slid my fingers along the pages still keeping the book as a mask. Shielding myself from my own personal god.
"If you must know, it's very interesting". He laughed and placed his other hand on the book, pulling it down from my face. It fell to my lap.
"What interest do you have in Volkswagens?" I figured I could play this for all that I could. A smile crept on my face.
"For all you know I'm the president of a Volkswagen enthusiast club". He pulled the book off my lap and quickly glanced at the cover.
"Tell me then. What is the highest speed a rabbit can reach with a used engine?" I rolled my eyes.
"You know I don't know that". He placed his hand on my hip and traced a circle.
"Good. I would have been worried if you had". He leaned down and placed a heated kiss on my shoulder. A shiver shot through me. He breathed against my skin, almost ready to go further. Then I remembered what I had been trying to do.
"You don't know the answer either". He stopped and caught my glance.
"Yes I do!" I pushed back a mess of black hair from his face.
"Then why can't you get the rabbit on the road? I'm pretty sure I saw it still on cinderblocks in the garage". He frowned.
"It just needs a little work". Then his faced light up. "I betcha I could get it running tonight!" I questionably lifted an eyebrow. He grabbed my arm and pulled me off the bed without a struggle. Walking with quick strides he pulled me through the door. I stopped my feet causing him to turn. He questioned my lack of movement with a stare.
"Where are we going Jacob?"
"To the garage. I'm gonna get the Rabbit running tonight!" He tugged at my arm, but I stayed firm.
"Jacob". He smiled with eagerness to prove me wrong. "Mike is in the garage". His grin dropped.
"Oh"
"So do you want to go back to bed now?" Instantly his eyes grew followed by a mischievous smirk. "I didn't mean like that". But he was already to far gone. Without restrain he pulled my face to his and scooped me up into his arms. In almost a run he made our way to his room. Shutting the door with his foot he cut the time in half to get to the bed. I found myself being pushed back into the blankets. Opening my eyes I looked up to see my beautiful La Push boy. Years ago I would never have pictured myself with someone like him. I'd figured myself to end up with a Mike or an Eric, but I'd gotten Jacob. I smiled under his weight. He was perfect in every single way. The moonlight shining in through the window caught his back and made his skin glow. Nothing had ever looked so beautiful before. I was in awe at his features. An anticipating growl rumbled from his chest. Although I wanted him. Oh god did I want him. I just couldn't do it. Not right now. I had questions to ask. I opened my mouth fully intending to speak when a Jacob sized finger planted it's self on my lips, pausing all possibility of speech. Then without warning my trembling lips met his and all I had planned was lost. Intense fire engulfed me and with it Jacob consumed what was left. His hands, his legs, his mouth, every part of him was reaching out to me. And I was reaching back.
…
The morning sun lit up the room and woke me with it's warmth. Somehow Jacob had rolled over to the other side of the bed. A whole foot from myself. How he did it, I didn't know. For the life of me I couldn't keep myself from him. He was like a magnet meant just for me. With that thought I crawled up close to him, letting my body heat against his. A moan broke from his sleep and he turned to face me. His eyes fluttered open and caught my face. Then possibly the largest grin I'd ever seen took over his mouth. Stretching from ear to ear.
"Good morning". A smile similar to his caught my face.
"Good morning". With that he took a hold of my hips and flipped me on top of him. His hands stroked my back, pulling me closer to his body. Leaning in for the kiss I gasped as he set heated kisses along my neck. Last night had been heaven and if this meant a repeat then I was all for it. Then the door swung open and a very embarrassed Seth dropped his jaw as he took in the scene. Quickly I grabbed at the blankets in a rush to cover myself. Doing so uncovered Jacob. My mouth dropped with the sight.
"I am so sorry. I didn't….wow….I mean I didn't-". Jacob cut him off.
"GET OUT OF HERE SETH!" Almost as quick as the door had opened, it closed. With eyes as wide as oranges I sat in shock. Had Seth just seen me naked?! Then Jacob broke my horror filled silence. "You took all the covers", his eyebrow edged into an arc. Embarrassingly I glanced down and quickly darted my eyes up to the ceiling. A roar like laugh escaped from his lips. "Did you just look away?" His hands found my neck as he started to slowly circle his thumbs just behind my ears. I couldn't not look down. Doing so made him glow with giddiness. White teeth against dark skin broke out, unleashing laugh after laugh. By now my cheeks were the brightest shade of pink and I was thoroughly embarrassed.
"Don't laugh Jake", I whispered. Instantly his face hardened. All laughs ceased.
"Bella. Excuse me for finding this humorous, but you just blushed at the sight of me". I recoiled.
"Well Seth just…he just saw everything". He laughed.
"Yeah of me, not you! You took the blankets remember?" The laughs continued.
"I'm pretty sure he saw me". With that he flipped himself above me. Both elbows holding his whole weight up so as not to crush me.
"Bella, I can hear his thoughts. I think I'd know if he saw you or not". Breathing in deep I accepted this. Maybe he hadn't seen me. It did happen pretty quick and I was pretty fast with the sheets.
"Okay, he didn't see me". With that he groaned, sneaking his face against my neck. Starting back to where he'd left off. For a brief second he paused at my ear. A whisper of hot breath blew past me.
"I saw you and you know what?" I moaned with an attempt to answer. "You were hot!" Oh god I wanted him! I wanted him now! His mouth finally reached my lips, letting a fire erupt within my chest. Each heightened heartbeat threatened my ability to move. Not to mention my ability to breath. Slowly his tongue pushed past my lips and searched along my mouth, pausing at my bottom lip. There he nipped, causing my body to push up against his. Letting my hands brush across his chest I felt the heat of his skin. My roaming hands met his and he pushed himself up and sat looking down at me. I shuddered in echsisity. He pulled back even further, causing my arms to reach out for him to make contact. Then he was up. Pulling on a pair of black and beaten sweatpants he, to my despair, covered himself. He laughed as he caught the expression on my face.
"There's too many ears in the house right now". He kissed the top of my head and messed with my hair. "I'll get us something to eat". With that he swayed out the door. And there I sat, hot with longing and utterly alone. What a butthead. Starting something like that and not continuing it! He truly was a turd. I gathered the blankets and wrapped them around myself. Trying as gracefully as I could I stalked over to the door and let it shut with a thud. Heading back to the bed the blanket got the best of me and tripped me to the floor. With a thump my face hit the floor. From my view I barley caught the sight of my underwear by the dresser. So there they were. Quickly grabbing them I pulled those on with a quick jerk. Once I'd found all my cloths and was fully dressed I sat back on the bed. With my knees held up to my chin I sat in wait. Thinking back at last night send stars in my head. Jacob and I had, well we had a pretty nifty time. It was beyond nifty it was astonishing. Breathtaking. With a growl my stomach told me it was beyond time to eat. Jacob was taking too long. Another growl hit my ears. That was all I could wait, I had to eat. Stepping into the kitchen instantly I regretted my impatience. Standing there was everyone, except Billy. Thank god Billy wasn't there. Quil walked up to me and winked.
"So I heard you guys had a visitor this morning". Jacob shot him a glare that if looks could kill, this one ripped off Quils face.
"Shut the hell up Quil!" Then almost as if nothing was said everyone one sat down and continued eating. Jacob handed me a plate and piled a mound of the yellow squishy substance on it. Smiling I took the plate from his hands and sat down next to Seth. Without a word Seth's cheeks turned a bright crimson color. His eyes darted down at me and quickly shot back to his plate. There was no question about it. He had seen me. I shot Jacob a glare that made him smirk an apology. There wasn't much we could do about it now. It had happened and it would be painfully awkward. Staring down at my plate I spooned some egg into my mouth. Swallowing deep I let the yellow food fill my empty gut. It was good. Then I looked around the table with a questioning gaze. Quil was here. Embry was here. Seth was definitely here. Jacob stood at the counter scarfing down the last of the eggs and Sam sat with the rest around the TV. Someone was missing. Eyeing Jacob I asked.
"Jacob, where is Leah?" Each pair of eyes caught my attention as they seared into me. Maybe they had been asking the same question themselves. Jacob shrugged.
"I think she's in the garage". Taking in a breath I dropped my spoon. The door to the garage was open. Nobody ever left it open. Both Seth and Sam's eyes widened as they understood my question. Rushing to the door Sam broke out into the crisp fall air, letting the wind break through the kitchen. All of us, including myself stood up from our breakfast and stared out the window. Mouths hung open and eyes dead struck we all stood in silence.
