Our lips just brushed against each other before a door at the end of the short hallway was swung open. Jacob quickly pulled me away from him and faced a man frozen in a wheelchair. I couldn't help but notice how much he and Jacob looked alike and if Jacob had longer hair, the man could have been his older twin; dark skin, same amazing brown eyes, and dark hair that hung to his shoulders tied in a ponytail. I flickered my eyes back and forth between them as they looked like they were having a staring contest.
A lump caught in my throat and I began to feel nervous in the awkward silence. And then the man laughed causing Jacob too as well. I was a little flustered at first and eventually smiled once the awkwardness was broken.
"Dad, this is Mitchy my imprint and Mitchy this is my dad Billy." Jacob introduced though laughter.
I held out a hand and introduced my last name. "I'm Michelle Gonzalez, but people call me Mitchy. Nice to meet you Mr." I paused and started again. "I'm sorry I didn't get Jacob's last name." I admitted sheepishly as he wheeled himself over to shake my hand.
"Mr. Black, but call me Billy sweetheart." He smiled and kissed my hand.
"Alright old man," Jacob tightened his grip on me.
I turned to look up at him. "Did you just call your dad 'old man'?"I questioned slapping his chest.
"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?"
"You should be nicer Jacob, that's all I'm saying... or demanding." I joked.
His dad laughed out loud. "I like her Jake; she knows were your place is." He smiled and turned toward me. "Feel free to straighten him out." With that he smiled widely at me and wheeled passed us and into the living room.
I looked back up at Jacob. "I will."
Jacob smiled and turned to help me out the door.
After a while of trying to get into the store we found it easier that I just stand on Jacob's feet and like him do the walking for me, that way it didn't look like I was hurt. People look at us like we were just a cute couple having fun as Jacob's arms were around me and he made me laugh every time I looked up and he made a goofy face.
Rachel grabbed things off the shelf I wouldn't even need, like sunglasses and other accessories like that and I tried objecting, but all she did was say 'It's all good, I got this.' And with that I kept my mouth shut. She placed a toothbrush, deodorant, a brush, a razor, other toiletries in the cart before she handed Jacob a twenty and told him to leave for a few minutes.
"Why?" He rose and eyebrow.
"fine if you want to stay and go girl shopping with us and give me my twenty back I'm good with that." Rachel put her hand on her hip and held out her hand for her twenty back. Jacob handed it to her and rolled his eyes. She threw tampons in the cart and her eyes wondered the shelf. She laughed and picked something up.
"Where did this come from?" She turned with a small metal rod in her hands with a switch at the end.
"What the hell?" I felt Jacob roar with laughter when we all realized what it was.
"Why do they have a vibrator in a hygiene store?" She asked pointing it at my face.
I pulled my face back in Jacob's chest was she got closer to me with it.
"I don't know," I laughed.
"You wanna get it?" She laughed.
"Uh, no I'm good without practice." I put my hand over it and pushed her hand back toward the shelf where she dropped it. I felt Jacob's chest move back and forth with laughter and with that she paid for everything and we were headed to Port Angeles for clothes. I didn't really want to go there since it brought back memories, but she said it was the only place that had decent clothes for decent prices.
We head out to the car with the bags of toiletries and supplies and Rachel popped the trunk before getting in. I sat the bags in the trunk and he helped me get in the front of the car. He sat in the back and wined for Rachel to stop somewhere for food and I was all for it since I hadn't eaten since the breakfast she made earlier this morning. She finally gave in once I started backing Jacob up and pulled into a small café on the outside of Port Angeles.
Jacob stood me back on his feet even though I insisted I could somewhat, walk now, but didn't listen as I pouted the whole way in there on Jacob's feet. Rachel laughed and was ahead of us the whole way there. She ordered first and then Jacob and I insisted I was already using enough of her money, but she ordered me a caramel frappuccino, and two stuffed pancakes. I rolled my eyes and laughed as she smiled and lead us over to a table for our food to be brought out to us.
Jacob sat me down in a booth since it was easier to sit in and sat next to me with his arm still wrapped around my waist tightly. Rachel sat across from us and we started talking as I could feel Jacob's gaze burn into my neck.
"So what's your middle and last name?" She asked interested.
"Renee Gonzalez, why?"
"Just wondering," She laughed.
"Thank you by the way."
She seemed confused at first. "Huh?" A smile pulled across her face.
"For welcoming me into your house, helping me clean up and buying this stuff for me, which by the way I'm paying you back." I laughed along with her.
"No need, and no problem, anything to help out my brothers eternal soul mate." She assured me.
Just before I was about to say something a woman brought out three platters of food on roller shakes and sat them in front of Jacob. I figured she just couldn't carry his food and Rachel's and mine as well. I laughed as she turned to Rachel and I.
"Your food will be right out." She smiled and rolled away.
"Wow Jacob, order enough?" I smiled and looked at him as he smiled sheepishly. He began eating without breaking the glue that held his arm around my waist.
"Wow, I bet Jake's happy; he's got his imprint and enough food for three." Rachel commented. I snatched a small piece of bacon off of his plate and shoved it in my mouth before he could say anything. He turned to me surprised and smiled before kissing my head and turning back to his plate.
"Whoa, if anyone else did that, they'd get their hand bit off." Rachel's mouth hung opened as her eyes flickered back and forth between Jacob and me. All he did was laughed and look back at his food.
The woman came back out with two more platters and my frappuccino and sat them on the table in front of us.
She smiled at me and Rachel. "Let me know if you need anything else." She smiled and rolled back to the kitchen.
"I have to go to the bathroom," I admitted as Jacob slid out of his seat and let me pass by. I made my way to the bathroom the best I could, but it wasn't very fast.
When I came out three guys outside stood across the parking lot. I didn't bother with them thinking they were all bad news and I figured I needed fresh air. I leaned up against the wall of the building and rested my head back. I looked around at the guys to make sure they weren't up to something and I noticed one point over in my direction. I rolled my eyes when they looked over at me and started to walk toward me. I knew that was my queue to head back into the café, but one of the stepped in front of me before I got to the door way.
"Hey, you look nice missy." He bit his lower lip and got closer to me. He wore nothing but a wife beater and jeans that didn't go up passed his hips. He wasn't the hottest bulb if you know what I mean either.
"Um, could you move?" I asked trying to walk passed him, but he stood steadily in front of me.
"Why would I do that? I might lose you."
"You never had me." I tried to push passed him, but he pushed me back and that definitely didn't do well for my legs as I fell on my butt. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and I didn't do well with public embarrassment.
"Awe, are you crying?" He teased. I felt my black wings poking the skin on my back to come out, but I held them in as best I could.
The guy was somehow knocked over and an angry looking Jacob stood behind him. He stepped forward causing the other two to run away and the one on the ground to look him up and down before scurrying away.
He looked back at me with a loving look in his eyes and lifted me up off the ground.
"Are you okay?" He put his face into my hair before asking. I nodded my head before he put me on his feet and walked me back into the café. I slid into the booth to see a concerned looking Rachel.
"What happened?" She questioned.
"Nothing." Jacob shook his head before wrapping his arm back around me and diving back into the small reminisce of food left on his plate. You could tell he sounded annoyed.
Rachel pulled into a local mall not to far from the café and just on the edge of Port Angeles. Jacob still insisted that I stand on his feet, but I choose other wise. He still held onto my waist as I walked a little slower than normal.
Rachel grabbed everything that looked nice off the shelf and I just leaned against Jacob's chest and let him lead me where Rachel cleaned the shelves and racks of clothing.
I looked up at Jacob and smiled, and found myself looking back down and having Rachel shove a shirt into my chest.
"Go try that on." She smiled and Jacob helped me to the door of the changing rooms and waited outside while I tried on a purple and pink checkered button down blouse. I came out and Rachel smiled at how well it fit me. I came back out with the shirt Rachel let me use earlier and handed the blouse to her as she tossed it in the over flowing cart of clothes.
"I think that's enough, it's getting late anyway." I said as Jacob tried to lift me onto his feet again. I sighed knowing he wasn't going to give up until I gave in.
"Yeah, Rach, it's like seven and we won't be back until ten so," Jacob let his sentence trail.
"Oh yeah, speaking of, we forgot PJ's!" She chimed heading towards sweats and night shirts. I sighed rolling my eyes and leaning back to look up at Jacob.
"Next time I'm going shopping alone." He laughed at my sentence and kissed my head before following Rachel. She tossed night tanks and sweats into the over flowed cart and night sets of clothes. She threw bras and underwear into the cart and looked me up and down.
"What size are you?" She laughed as she examined my body, shrugged and threw more of them into the cart.
After a long day in Port Angeles Rachel finally gave up and decided to drive us home before she went over Paul's, who knew? I laughed to myself thinking they probably would make a good couple with their attitudes and way of living.
"What?" Jacob whispered in my ear as he slowed behind Rachel in the parking lot.
"Nothing, I just thought of something funny." I assured him as he started to speed up again to Rachel's car.
The drive back wasn't much different from the drive up here; Jacob wining about food the whole way back to La Push and me starting to back him up. Rachel just rolled her eyes and told Jacob he wasn't going to die without food for another hour. And by the time we got back Jacob didn't bother to put me on his feet and just lifted me up and run into the house; the first stop being the kitchen. He grabbed a few things out of the fridge and grabbed me with one arm and back to his room. I notice Jacob didn't have anything in his hand anymore.
"What happened to the food?" I wondered as he sat me on his bed.
"I ate it on the way here." He laughed. "Do you want anything?" He asked about to walk out the door.
"No, but maybe we should help Rachel with the millions of bags in her car." I laughed as I tried to stand up.
"I'll help her, just relax."
"No, you've done enough dragging me around all day; I can do something." I insisted. He smiled and helped me up and let me walk this time. I was able to take in a few bags at a time, but by the time Jacob got to the car there really wasn't anything left; him grabbing everything on his two arms and being able to carry it like it was one bag on each arm. I laughed at how we could barely get through the living room once all the bags were laid out.
"Did Rachel buy the whole store again?" Billy joked as he wheeled passed the living room and into the kitchen.
"Yeah, but she's a devil so I guess that's what they do." Jacob yelled into the kitchen after him. Rachel smacked his arm before heading out and into her car, ready to head to wherever Paul was.
"So where do I sleep?" I asked.
"Probably in my room, Rachel will be back by midnight." He smiled and dragged the bags back into his room where they barely fit at all.
"Maybe we should unload." I laughed as we couldn't even get to the other side of his room.
We started throwing clothes into drawers that he never used since he out grew most of his clothes and threw them out and he rarely wore shirts; most of his drawers were full of cut off jeans and shorts. After we managed to fill up the extra drawers we move onto the closet and neatly piled in my jeans, and shorts Rachel had stacked into the shopping cart, and then unpacked the toiletries into the bathroom across the hall. Once we finally finished Jacob plopped down onto his bed for the first time exhausted.
"And, I have patrols tonight, yay!" He sarcastically celebrated rolling over and putting his face onto his pillow.
I laughed and sat next to him. "At least you can sleep all day tomorrow." I ran my fingers through his hair and lay down next to him.
"Yeah, but I don't have to leave until like eleven so, I have another half hour." His voice was muffled by the pillow his face was pushed into. I laughed and kissed his hair.
"I'll wake you up then; sleep." I commanded before rolling to face the door. I felt his arm around my waist and him pull me to him as tight as possible. He nuzzled his head in my neck unconsciously and quickly passed into a deep sleep. I managed to turn around and face him while brushing his short shaggy hair out of his face with waking him up.
Eleven O clock came to soon and I had to wake him up for him to leave for the night. I shook him gently to see his eyes flutter open.
He smiled widely. "Hello beautiful."
I giggled and pointed toward the clock. "It's almost time Mr."
He smiled and leaned in to kiss me and just before our lips finally touched a howl erupted from the woods behind his house. He looked out his window before quickly pulling my face to his and holding a kiss on my lips, his lips claming mine in one simple movement. That kiss wasn't short, but it ended too soon for either of our liking.
"That's my signal." He joked standing up and rolling over me. "I'll be back by the time you wake up." He promised, throwing his shirt off and sliding down his sweats. I turned my head just before he took of his black boxers but opened my eyes just in time to catch a glance of the theme park between his legs. I closed my eyes again quickly making sure he didn't see me looking and opened them again to see him laughing at me.
"What?" I asked shocked. I don't think he saw me.
"Nothing," He shook his head and kissed my head before walking out the door. I threw my arms over my head knowing I was blushing a dark red color from the heat in my face.
