Ch 8 Tea with a British Child of the Moon
Swiftly with an almost cat-like elegance I phased to question the guy standing in front of me, he was of average height, muscular with light olive skin and dirty blond hair. He glanced at me and smiled, Jake growled. I twirled my hair and blushed, he was hot.
"Good afternoon miss," He said with an unmistakable British accent. Bri who had phased was behind me now squealed.
CJ rolled her eyes as she phased. "I'm sorry about them, they are complete idiots,"
"I get that all the time," He laughed. Jake and Seth came up behind us scowls on their faces. Bri and I turned around and laughed aloud, they looked so much alike.
"I don't believe we've met," He introduced. "I'm Christopher,"
"I'm Kristy, this is Bri, CJ, Jake and Seth," I indicated to each of them in turn. He nodded smirking at CJ as her jaw dropped.
"Uh… please excuse us…," I smiled shoving CJ and Bri behind the trees.
"Ok what's your deal?" I asked.
CJ shrugged and blushed, "I…I imprinted," She admitted.
Bri squealed, "Now we can all be happily ever after!"
"I don't believe in that kind of thing!" CJ and I yelled at the same time. Bri smiled knowingly and drifted over to Seth.
Shaking my head at Bri I said to CJ, "Just tell him through your mind what happened, hopefully he understands," She nodded wrapping her arms around her. Focusing her thoughts on him, at least that's what I was hoping she was doing we both walked out into the clearing.
I strode over to Jake smirking. "Miss me?"
"Always do," Jake smiled as he kissed my forehead. Bri was getting ready to drag Seth off to who knows where. I shook my head, we all needed to stay together. CJ and Chris were obviously having a in-brain conversation.
After an hour or so of awkward silence, it was Bri who asked. "Ok so does this mean Chissy boy is joinin us on our quest eliminate the freakin jackass Edward?" Chris and CJ both nodded.
Ha, ha now we have CC almost like CiCi's pizza! Bri said, reminding me again of our birth town.
It's near here you know, I commented quietly.
Bri nodded her head looking wistful. Wonder what happened to all of our school friends.
We could go see, if they're even still in the area, I suggested.
Lets Both of my sisters agreed in an instant.
Uhhh what's happening? Seth asked completely confused.
We're going to our hometown, hunt down old friends and enemies. Possibly find more allies. I said calmly.
That would be good, Jake noted surveying our small motley group.
You got a problem with our motley group? I asked, offended.
Not if I got you, He smiled and nudged me.
Hey uh why are we wolves when we could go into my hotel room for tea. questioned Chris.
I don't know… Bri said dreamily.
Figures Chris patronized.
Ok tea, let's drink tea then! Seth said faking enthusiasm. We all phased back human, because being a wolf when you didn't have to was just confusing, and my brain hurt. We walked into the state-of-the-art hotel and the first thing Master Clumsy does is knock over a $1000 vase.
"Way to go Jake," Seth muttered as we slunk silently towards the elevator. I rolled my eyes, sometimes, Seth was sooooo sarcastic. But then again, I always was.
"So what exactly does tea entitle too?" Jake asked wrapping his arms around me. I leaned against him, I was tired.
"Actually it's more like a snack, you eat food and drink whatever's in the fridge and then for a couple hours you can do whatever you want. Well, that's what I was thinking anyway" He finished self-consciously. We all nodded as I punctuated the statement with a yawn.
"Great," he said with his amazing grin. We all walked over to the table and sat down as Chris swiftly made something edible and grabbed us each a pop. I nodded my thanks before commencing to sitting in Jake's lap, watching everyone through half-lidded eyes. Sometime I fell asleep and was placed unknowingly on a bed that was so fluffy I thought I was on a cloud. In fact the first words out of my mouth when I woke up were, "Why am I sleeping on a cloud? Are there pretty cauliflowers there?" I heard laughter.
Wow sis, I've heard some random stuff in my life but what you just said, takes the cake!" CJ laughed. I narrowed my eyes, this was sooo NOT cool! Sighing I shoved CJ and smacked Bri, I am not a happy camper when I wake up, ever. One time our second adopted mom thought waking me up at five in the morning was "ethical" I accidentally hospitalized her. He, he, whoops.
Why are you thinking about that? CJ asked
I dunno, was fun? Memories? Ah hell why does it matter we gotta get out of here I can FEEL them jerks coming! I yelled.
"That changes things," CJ said aloud Chris wrapping his arm around her Jake picking me up off the bed.
"I need a bruuush!" I whined. Jake nodded and grabbed one.
"Thanks," I smiled flirty.
He rolled his eyes and in his yummy husky voice said, "You're welcome babe." I smiled, I felt better than I had in YEARS.
"Uh hello we're still here…" Seth and Bri said at the same time. I laughed, this was family.
Glad we agree sis,
"Let's GO for crying out loud!" Bri called already out the door. Grumbling we all followed her.
