PERFECT SYMMETRY
18. Piss.
His fingers are going to dent her skin if he holds her any tighter. One of her hands, goes for herneck as an absent minded gesture trying to push the tension away. He notices immediately and releases the firm grip on her shoulders, and reaches for her other hand moving it to his lap, entwining their fingers. She manages a tight smile to counter his scowl. If their life was a cartoon, smoke would be coming out of Jacob. To say he's pissed off means nothing. Leah can't even think of a proper adjective to describe her boyfriend's current mood.
The tension in the room can be cut with a knife, and to them. Every little sound is being processed, thumping hearts, and growls that cannot reach human ears. It's all in their positions. Joining them at the couch are Brady and Embry, each of them sitting on an arm rest, pretending to be interested in whatever is that Kim has decided to say to do damage control. She blabbers from the small kitchen trying to fix up some lunch. Emily's in a chair, acting as a neutral party. And in the opposite sofa, a smug looking Rachel flanked by Paul and Jared on each side. Sam doesn't sit, but stands between Paul and Emily.
Of course he would stand. And puff out his chest. Jacob and him are one step away of turning this into a pissing content. Leah has to fight the urge to scream. Maybe they could just pull their dicks out and see who's bigger. She can be the judge, although she already knows who..The pressure increases, because even if Kim's the one talking, most of them are looking at her watching the silent fight going between Sam and Jacob. Leah shifts uncomfortably, when Jacob pulls her hand a little too close to his crotch. It's a jerk move. And she's had enough.
"Jake"She hisses, and his hold only grips tightwer. If he keeps squeezing he'll cut off the circulation on her fingers. "Get a grip now"She hisses and she's sure every single wolf in the room can hear. And Emily.
Sam smirks at this, but it doesn't go unnoticed by Leah. Who turns her fierce gazetowards the newly appointed Beta.
"Kim, I'm sorry, but we have to cut this short"Leah says in a sweet and fake voice "I don't think Seth or Quil are capable of cooking and it's lunch time"
"Sure they have money and can microwave"Rachel pipes in, obviously delighting in the discomfort of her best friend. Although Leah isn't sure she can even call her friend right now.
"I'll deal with you later"Leah says in a cold voice "Come on Jacob."But Paul being the hot headed jerk he's is already fuming and snapping at Leah.
"Don't"Rachel and Jacob shut him up.
"Oh great"Leah says finally heading for the door, while Jacob and Paul snap at each other.
A non human growl fills her ears at the same time she feels the hot hand of someone stopping her. It all happens too fast for her to realize the damage, and face a russet and grey wolf in Kim's small living room and Sam's human form in front of her protectively.
