AN/Disclaimer: Once again Ventrice and I do not own twilight or any of it's characters...damn...
Ok second chapter! So far it looks like there's a lot of readers so I'm happy! ^.^ Enjoy!
"Wait! You hit ghosts! You can't drive! Let one of the guys drive I'm sure they know it better anyways. Just not Google over there. He probably couldn't keep focused." Lilly said pointing at Jake, who blushed a little and coughed. "Um...Right here..." he muttered.
Lilly smiled. "And you could probably direct me the quickest path to her rump too." She said then giggled. "I'm playing with you Google. What's your name?"
"Jacob." He said shrugging. Embry chuckled as he watched them. Brinlee glared at her sister. "Hush up child, don't make me get the Whoopin' Stick!" Lilly shrugged. "And if I enjoy it?" she asked grinning at her sister again. "BUT! Let's go!" She quickly skipped back to the jeep humming.
Brinlee laughed and tossed the keys to Embry before diving in the back of the jeep. "Oooh baby!" she said, purring in Lilly's ear. Nothing new to the two of them but Brinlee had forgotten their audience. Jake raised an eyebrow as he climbed in back with her.
Lilly giggled and sat in the front dancing in her seat. Embry raised both his eyebrows as he started the car and put it into drive. "So when did you girls move here?" he asked casually. She looked at the clock having to lean over Embry a little to do it. "Like four hours ago." Embry stiffened almost imperceptibly then relaxed. "Oh that's cool."
Brinlee nodded. "Yeah the only problem is that I had to move all the heavy shit." Lilly bit her lip. "I almost hit a plastic deer so I swerved and hit a tree and my back and wrist are still a little tweaked so I was told by the doctor I couldn't lift anything heavy for a while." She said shrugging and trying to dry her curly blonde hair.
"A plastic deer?" Embry tried to stifle a laugh. "Yeah, that's what I said. Totaled the car she was in too. I almost skinned her alive for scaring me like that." Brinlee said, rolling her eyes. Lilly pouted a little, blinking her blue eyes. "A ghost put it there." "Oh shut up..." Brinlee growled good-naturedly. "At least when I got into an accident the ghost put something real there, unlike yours," she said teasing. "I'm telling you I saw something!" she groaned, pouting. "Why doesn't anyone believe me...?"
Jake put a hand on her shoulder. "I believe you. But don't worry about it. I'm sure whatever it was is fine." Brinlee beamed up at Jake. "Aww thanks!" Embry smirked as he watched them briefly through the rearview mirror. "Almost there." Lilly sat up looking out the window excitedly. She was glad that, even though she wasn't supposed to be doing this, they were letting her.
Brinlee watched her closely. "You're sure you're up for this?" she asked softly, her mother hen side kicking in. Lilly bit her lip. "I want to do it..." She knew it would mess up her back even more if she jumped but she didn't want to seem like a chicken. "I didn't ask what you wanted sweetie. I mean we did move here...we have time." Brinlee said, trying to reassure her. Embry watched the two, slightly concerned now.
Lilly sighed. "Is that your way of telling me no?" She pretended to be upset when she was really glad for the excuse not to risk it. She had been so excited before. Jake nudged Embry seeing that Lilly was a stubborn one and didn't like admitting defeat, trying to let him know he needed to step up and tell her no. "You know I just remembered you said you messed up your back. Not a good idea to go cliff diving with a back injury." Embry said, trying to sound at least somewhat confident since he wasn't exactly suave with the lady-folk.
Brinlee shot him a grateful smile. She hated having to say no to Lilly. Lilly nodded. "Then can we go and watch a movie? I just bought this movie about some girl who does something with this guy." "Sweetie all your movies involve some girl doing something with this guy...thought sometimes it's some girl doing something with this guy and this other girl..." Brinlee pointed out.
Embry's eyebrows reached his hairline as he pulled over to the side to let one of the girls drive. Brinlee immediately dived into the front seat once Embry had stepped out of the vehicle. "HA! I drive!" "This one isn't an adult one so it's ok. Here Google sit with mud pants I'm getting cold and there is a blanket back there." She said climbing into the back and pulling the blanket out from under the seat while Jake climbed up front with Brinlee.
Embry climbed in the back with Lilly and watched her out of the corner of his eye. Brinlee turned them around and headed for their house. "That little nickname better not catch on brat or I really will get out my Whoopin Stick." she grumbled. She ignored her as she blatantly stared at Embry. "You're big! Are you cold?" She asked holding out some of the blanket to him and scooting a little closer.
"No but maybe I can help keep you warm?" he asked softly, slowly putting his arm around her shoulders. Brinlee smirked as she looked at them in the rearview. Lilly blushed. "Wow! You're like a personal furnace! That's awesome! Bree can I keep him? I'm always cold. I get cold really easy."
Brinlee chuckled. "I don't know...is he house trained? You'll have to feed him too..." she teased. Embry looked down sheepishly. "I'm just...naturally warm..." "I'll feed you worms with marshmallows." She joked and leaned up against him. "I like warm." Embry smiled down at her as he tucked her up against him, his arm resting lightly on her shoulder, making her look tiny.
Brinlee smiled softly at the scene in the rearview then glanced at Jacob from the corner of her eye. "I suppose," she drawled. "It would be ok for you to keep him..." Lilly smiled and pulled out some candy. "Want some?" She asked holding up some candy almonds. Embry nodded and smiled, holding out his hand. "Giving him some Sugar already, eh?" Brinlee teased, causing Embry to duck his head, his cheeks darkening slightly.
Lilly giggled and threw some at the back of Brinlee's head. "Shush you're scaring him." She said handing some to him under the blanket so her sister couldn't see. "Aww he knows I'm just teasing, right Embry?" she said, wriggling as one of the almonds fell down the back of her shirt. "Um...yeah I guess..." Embry chuckled softly as he popped an almond into his mouth.
"Shit! I have an almond stuck down my shirt!" Brinlee laughed. Jake carefully reached down to grab it. "There, better?" He asked tossing it out the window. "Look at that, it didn't turn into a tree when it hit the mud." Lilly threw an almond at him. "Hush Google." Brinlee blushed bright red and chuckled nervously.
Despite her seemingly bold nature, once she got to know someone of course, it wasn't often guys stuck their hands down her shirt even if it was just to get an almond out of the back of her shirt. "T-thanks Jake." Embry threw a smirk in Jacob's direction and winked at Lilly.
Lilly giggled and Jake blushed a little gently punching Brinlee on the shoulder. "Take it easy or else your name might have to be Red." Lilly grinned. "I like it. Yay now it's Google and Red. "Silence, Miss Plastic-Deer-Savior!" Brinlee quipped, pulling into the driveway of their massive three-story house. "You'll have to excuse the boxes and random shit. We didn't really unpack much."
Lilly shrugged it off then moved the blanket starting to shiver already. She climbed out of the jeep and ran up to the house. "Bree you have the only key and it's freezing!" She said jumping around to try to stay warm. She was about to lose her bag of candy. Embry hauled himself out of the jeep and ran up to her, pulling her against him. "Better?"
Brinlee chuckled as she watched them, shaking her head. "Good for you Lils..." she muttered softly before getting out herself and fumbling to find the right key. Lilly blushed and nodded. She was still shivering a little but not as much. "Uh...Bree where is my blanket?" She was a complete space cadet right now. Jake stood close to Bree to keep her warm too in case she needed it.
"As in the blanket you just left in the jeep or your fuzzy blanket with the ducks on it?" Brinlee asked, unlocking the door. "Don't tease me about that blanket. My mom gave it to me..." She said softly going quiet. "Oh sweetie I wasn't teasing! I just meant that I didn't know which one you wanted..." Brinlee looked over at Lilly, mentally cursing herself. "I'm sorry..."
Lilly nodded. "Do you know where it is?" She put her head on Embry's chest. She then realized she didn't know his name. She looked up at him. "What's your name?" "Name's Embry..." he said, smiling down at her. Jake gently touched Bree's shoulder. "Cheer up red." Brinlee gave Jake a small smile. "Top box Hun." she said, going inside and hanging her jacket on the coat rack in the hall.
Lilly went inside hanging up her jacket showing she had on just a simple white tank top under it. She went to the box but she couldn't quite see into it so she started to pull it down. Jake smiled at Bree. "How about we find that movie then while she gets her blanket?"
"There's only one problem with that thought," she said, watching as Embry pulled the box down for Lilly before it could fall on her head. "Lilly is the only one that knows what movie she was talking about." she chuckled. "You could, however, help me make popcorn." Jake smiled. "That works. But...are you sure she knows what movie she is talking about?" He asked quietly as Lilly started pulling stuff out the box looking for it.
"Not really, but then one never knows with her." Brinlee grinned, grabbing his hand and leading him into the kitchen. He smiled and followed her. Lilly smiled when she pulled out the old blanket and another one that was clearly newer. She smiled. "Want to see my box of candy?" She asked looking up at Embry. "I need to put my blanket on my bed so that I don't lose it." He nodded, smiling down at her. "Sure. That's an awesome blanket." he said sincerely.
She smiled. "Thanks. My mom made it for me before she lost her fight with the cancer." She touched it softly. "I was six and loved ducks at the time. Come on!" She wiped her eyes and grabbed his hand dragging him to her room. He followed her like a puppy. "Wow...sounds like your mom was an amazing person."
Lilly nodded. "Yeah mom was really good at sewing but I never learned. I'd always prick myself with the needles then the thimbles would start fighting each other using the needles as swords. Mom was really good at putting on bandages too." She said giggling a little as she opened her door up. It was pretty bare but full of boxes that were carefully stacked on the floor, nothing more than two boxes high.
Embry smiled though he was admittedly nervous as he had never been in a girl's room before. Lilly opened up the box marked candy. "Bree and me aren't really sisters. But we've known each other long enough to be." She said taking her shoes off before getting on the bed. "She was around when my mom got sick so after that happened we got closer and haven't been out of sight since. She's like two years older than I am though. See?" She showed him all different kinds of candy.
Embry raised his eyebrow at the amount of candy in the box. "Wow that's a lot of sugar!" Lilly smiled and nodded. "Yup. I have all kinds of candy. And when the box gets empty I put more in so I never run out. Sometimes I think Bree hides it from me but I usually find it." She giggled then shivered as the window blew open. "I need to get a window lock..." She said as she moved off the bed to close it tripping. "Oh!"
Embry caught her before she hit the floor, holding her tightly. "Careful..." Lilly blushed and nodded. "Ok...thanks. I think I'm gonna sit down for a minute. Will you close the window?" she asked shivering still a little. Embry nodded and set her down on the bed, going over to the window and shutting it tightly. Lilly pulled the other blanket around herself and looked up at him. "For a big guy you sure move fast." She said pulling the blanket tightly around her. "Guess I'm just light on my feet." Embry shrugged.
Lilly smiled. "Good, I fall...a lot..." She giggled. She moved the blanket to lift her pant leg and take off the ankle brace she had on. "I'm home now so I can take this off. I got this one from bungee jumping. The rope twisted and hit my ankle causing it to sprain and it didn't heal right because like two weeks later I was trying out a new ATV and flipped it."
Embry sighed to himself. Of course he would get the one with the death wish. "Sounds like you do a lot of Extreme Sports..." Lilly nodded. "I like the rush. I'm not very good at them though. My ear canals are shaped differently so it throws off my equilibrium so I fall a lot and lose balance and stuff. Bree doesn't let me do too much though." Embry nodded. "She takes good care of you." Lilly smiled. "Yeah. But I take care of her too. I eat all the cereal so that she doesn't get fat." She said joking. She giggled and fell over onto him. "Are you always warm?"
"Yep. Pretty toasty?" he asked, chuckling softly. She blushed. "The movie! It's in...That box." she pointed to one across the room. She jumped up and went to the box with just one sock on and her jeans and tank top. She dug through the box until she found the DVD. "It's a good one! See?" She held out Disney's Beauty and the Beast. "One of my favorites."
He smiled at her sweetly. "Mine too actually." She smiled. "Awesome!" She grabbed the blanket. "Did you want some candy?" She asked dumping the new bag of candy on top of the other stuff. She rarely let people go through her private stock like this.
"Sure...if you don't mind that is." he said, watching her. Lilly smiled. "Go for it." He looked through the box before deciding on a bag of suckers. "Haven't had these in a while..." She smiled. "Ready then?" "If you are." he smiled. Lilly smiled and pulled her sock back on. "Shh don't tell Bree I took the brace off...it itches." She said smiling. "Not supposed to walk much without it on if I don't have the crutches."
Embry frowned slightly. "You really should wear it..." he said softly. "Wouldn't want to make it worse..." Lilly nodded. "Well...then can I take it off during the movie?" She asked looking up at him. "Or I could hop on the other foot! That's not walking." "How about you take it off during the movie. It's safer that way." he chuckled softly.
She nodded and put the brace back on then grabbed her stuff again in one arm and she grabbed his hand to show him to the living room. "This house is so big I think I might get lost..." she said giggling.
