Jacob drove me to the hotel I was staying in.I had to take my cruiser to a car-fixing dude, my window was cracked from a shooting.
"Don't you know your gonna die out there?!", he sputtered, his face truly enraged. His grip on the speeding wheel was shaking.
"Jacob chill, your gonna pass the speed limit and I will really arrest you"
"Stay on subject!"
I sighed."I know there is a small possibility , but it is my life, I want to use it to save lives and keep peace, it's not a hard I'm doing is just a small part, I gotta do what I gotta do!"
"Somebody else could do it"
"I can't quit this"
"Yes you can"
"Last time I checked , you can't boss me around"
"We're the same age, yes I can."
"Jacob, if I get injured I swear I wouldn't stop, I been in police academy for months, cruel long months, I did that all for this job! I am not going to quit. We are not talking about this anymore!"
Jacob was silent for a moment.
"I just got you back though"
That softened me up alot. I reached over and hugged him. He sighed and smiled a bit. I could see the sadness he was trying to hide. I felt horrible for that.
"Sorry Jakie". Jacob jerked up and smiled.
"Since when did you call me Jakie?"
"I chose to , starting today, is Nessie using that name, cuz then I wont use it, it's gross. Ooh, if you guys get married I'll be her cousin in law, no more like sister in law, I count you as a brother. You chose right , I really like her", I babbled on talking about Nessie. Jakie looked harrassed. I giggled at his expression.
I said goodbye to Jakie at the front of the hotel. I was to go to Emily's house tomorrow morining to meet everybody. I was almost nervous, almost, I fear nothing, uhhh yeah.....
I took a deep breath and stepped into the stomach growled. I laughed quietly at my own stupidity.I felt a tapping on my shoulder.
"Would you like me to show you where the food court is?", a gentle voice asked softly.I turned around , ready to beat the crap out of the guy, but his face was relaxed, his smile was warm and he made sure that there was distance away from us. I almost stuttered. Heat came to my face. Damn! Had he heard my stomach?
"Um yeah?", I made my answer a question, grin widened and he escorted me down the stairs to an elevator, and he paused.
"My name is Tristin"
"Jordan", I stook my hand out and he shook it. I almost gasped. It was rock hard and cold. An electric current went through held my hand until the elevator opened, and it took a minute.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ran up to my bed. I sighed as I imagined Tristin's look as he talked to me about everything. His eyes looked kind of black though.
flash back
We walked to the table closest to the window, furthest away from people. He held the chair out for me. I blushed hard.I wasn't gonna fight, that was a first, I felt comfy, but my senses were weary. I spoke.
"So where do you come from?"
"Britain"
"you dont seem to have an accent"
"I left many years ago"
"Oh"
"And you?"
"Utah, Cali, Alaska"
"You seem to move alot", he said grinning.
"Yeah, I'm a cop, so I move to lots of states to help "
"Why?"
"Because, there is a reason why some people fear us, we take away the bad, and help the good"
"Well now I know your good hearted", he gave a grin, I almost fainted from the beauty from it, I never really noticed his beautiful face. I sighed.I ate my chicken tenders and in a five minute silence , I was finished.
The whole time, Tristan stared at me
He walked me to my room,and paused at the door.
""
"Yeah,bye", I said lamely.I opened my door and waved, he smiled and leaned over as if to kiss my throat, but changed his mind.
end of flashback
I sighed again.I always turned a guy down, but Tristan just made me attracted to him.I got up ,showered , and got ready to mind was begging me to forget about him, but my heart protested.
I quickly settled down on my bed, and turned to a comfortable position. I thought about the summers I spent here before I turned 16. I thought about all those things me Quil and Jacob used to do. But there was someone missing, someone vital in those memories. I shook those thoughts away and slept.
I woke up the next morning. I got up and rubbed my eyes. I checked the clock, it read 10;09 am. Oh shit, I am so late.
I picked up my pace and did my morning thang. I picked out a black vest with black jeans and a white shirt. I chose ballet flats to wear. I picked my purse up and dashed out of the hotel room.
I stepped outside of the hotel when my cellphone rang.
"Hello?"
"Jord, are you ready, I gotta pick you up for breakfast", I heard him say groggily.
"Ha- you woke up late too?"
"Yup, me and Nessie were talking all night"
"I hope you two were safe"
"w-ww-what!Were not even married!"
"Ok drama queen just shut up and pick me up"
"I'm at the light, I'll be there in about........now"
His Rabbit came to a stop , about a foot away from me.I walked over and opened the door. I was dissapointed at his driving skills.
"Tsk tsk,someone could give you a ticket for that Jakie, put your seatbelt on!', I scolded.
"Gosh, no wonder people who have cops in the family are such prudes", he muttered,while he put his set belt on.I scowled, Jake just guffawed.
"Jord, your gonna have to meet another one of my friends today"
"And who is that?"
"His name is Embry Call, don't you remember him from the summer's here?"Those missing pieces finally fell in place.
"Wasn't that the dude who looked bony?"
"He isn't bony anymore". We were silent the whole ride. I remembered him as a quiet and timidish kind of dude, not at all my type if I must say.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob parked in front of Emily's house. Truly, I fear for my life when Jakie drives me. I made sure I looked business-like , so I would be taken seroiusly when I go house hunting.I also had to go to the shooting range , to freshen up. Then I gotta go to the Seattle Police to take my place.
We walked in , without knocking. I gave Jake a chiding look, for such lack in manners,he just stuck his tongue out, I swear, I was about to yank it out, but I'm a proper lady, yeah, maybe not.
"Good morning Jordan, are you up for some breakfast?", Emily greeted me.
"Yes please , Ma'am", I said properly, I still had that 'sir' and 'ma'am' system because of Police grinned and walked swiftly to the kitchen.
I noticed an extra seat at the table next to Jared, and walked to it and sat down. Jared grinned at me and said,"God I'm hungry"
Sam reached over to smack his head , but Jared moved just in time. I was trying to suppress my laughter.
The front door opened, and I said,"Hey Quil", thinking it was him coming in.
But how wrong I was. God how I was wrong.
Instead came in a tall, muscular man. His eyes were brown, muddy brown, his skin was russet, his hair was up to his shirt was tight against his sculpted chest. He was about to give a resentful look to me, but instead , he froze. His eyes concentrated on my face, studying my posture, my cheerful aura became cautios, and room was silent, Emily seemed elated for some reason, Quil was shocked, and Jake, his expression was the one I couldnt the man shook his head as if he had an disturbing thought and took the chair right next to Jared. I decided to break the silence.
"So, Jared, where's Kim?"
"She's at her granny's house"
"Oh"
"So, like what do you do as a cop", said Paul,"Did you ever get shot"
"Uh, yeah, but only on my leg and arm",I said carefully,"I make sure I protect my chest and back, to I won't be damaged or smoething"
"Have you ever arrested someone?"
"Hell yeah!, 17 guys, but with backup"Paul gave me a funny look.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"No, why do people keep asking me those type of stuff?!"
"OK, just lay off her", the strange man said.I shot him a look of relief. He smiled, and reached over around Jared to shake my hand.
"I'm Embry, I think you could remember me"
"Jordan, and yes I do, a bit. Weren't you that skinny kid?", everybody laughed, I just blushed at my stupidity.
"Sorry", I mumbled.I looked up to see Embry grinning.
"It's ok, I've always been skinny, and yeah , I was the skinny kid.
I saw him shoot a pointedly look to Jared, and him and Jared switched seats. Now, Embry was next to me.
