Back to Angelica's POV.
It's about four in the afternoon and I haven't seen Jacob all day. I tried calling but he didn't answer. I called Emily and she said she only seen Sam for about two minutes this morning before he disappeared too. I sighed before getting up and plugging my phone into the stereo, turning the music up loud. I decided that I was gonna go cook something for dinner to get my mind off things and stop worrying.
I got out all the ingredients for cheeseburger soup and started cutting up the vegetables and getting wrapped up in my own little world. I was dancing around and singing to the music when a hand clamped down on my shoulder. I screamed like someone in a horror movie and spun around quickly while backing up and gripping the knife in my hand tightly. I relaxed when I seen it was only Leah with an amused look on her face. I stuck my tongue out at her before going into the living room and turning the music down to a gentler volume.
When I got back into the kitchen she was sitting on the counter eating the chips I had been snacking on. I went back over to the opposite counter and began cutting the vegetables again and adding them to the pot. Turning around I caught her eye and waited, knowing she wanted to tell me something.
"These chips are gross. Seriously? Salt and Vinegar?", she stated while scrunching up her nose and setting the bag down. I just raised and eyebrow and waited a little longer. She finally sighed and rolled her eyes before slouching a bit.
"Fine. I came by 'cause I'm worried. I checked and no one has seen the guys since this morning and Embry always answers when I call. I can tell you're worried too since you went all Betty Crocker in here.", she finally spit out.
"Same here, Jake always answers my calls and they can't all be on patrol together. Do you think something bad happened?", I finished in a small voice. I looked up and met her eyes again and she nodded her head before looking back down. I bit my lip and turned back around and stirred the soup trying vainly to distract myself.
"I don't think anyone is hurt, but I have a bad feeling about something.", Leah said breaking the silence. I turned back around and seen her looking distressed. She had tears starting up in her eyes while she chewed at her lip. I walked over to her and hopped up on the counter next to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and leaned my head on her shoulder, trying hard to bring her some comfort. It worked because a few minutes later she sighed and gave a soft giggle when I poked her in the ribs. I smiled and hopped down and turned so that I was standing in front of her.
"We are going to bake a chocolate cake and we are going to crank up the stereo and dance around while singing. We are going to act stupid until they get a hold of us, which you know they will when they can. They'll probably head to Emily's and see that we aren't there then stop by here and then we will watch a movie, okay?", I told her with determination. She nodded her head and smiled big before running into the living room to turn up the music.
After about ten minutes we were both covered in flour and chocolate laughing hysterically. I put the cake in the oven and turned around only to have some of the leftover batter smeared on my face. I opened my eyes and seen Leah standing there trying to act innocent. I grinned and grabbed some and jumped on her, smearing the chocolate all over her face hopping she had more on hers then I had on mine. I jumped back and stared at her waiting for her to react.
"Run", was all she said before lunging at me. I laughed and easily stepped out of the way. I didn't want the house all dirty so I just ran out the back door and into the backyard, noting that it wasn't raining for once. I turned around and seen Leah standing by the house still and grinning like crazy. I backed up when I seen what was in her hand.
"Leah don't you dare!", I squealed but it was already too late. I screamed and tried to run away from the spraying hose, though it wasn't working in my favor since I was laughing too hard.
Biting the inside of my cheek I ran towards the cold water and grabbed the hose from Leah's grasp swiftly and turned it on her. She screamed and vainly tried to save herself from the spraying water. She launched herself at me suddenly and I was laughing too much to step out of the way so we both fell to the ground in a mass of tangled limbs.
A tug of war started and excited screams and giggles filled the air around us. She would spray me some then I would spray her back. It seemed like a never ending contest but it was the most fun I had all day and I was enjoying it. Earlier was completely off my mind as we continued to play fight in the middle of the yard, completely soaking ourselves. It all ended though because we both heard the sound of voices coming from the front yard, a bunch of voices. I looked over at Leah and she looked at me for a second before grabbing my hand and hauling us both to our feet and taking off in a sprint towards the voice.
We stopped when we got to the front to see all the pack and imprints in my yard with what looked like containers of food and blankets. Claire was the first to notice us standing there, most likely looking lost, because her mouth dropped and her eyes widened. That's when I realized we probably looked a hot mess and I felt my cheeks heat up.
"Auntie Lee! Angie! What happened to yous?", she exclaimed. Everyone turned around and looked right at us with their eyes going bigger and I felt my face heat up even more. I heard Paul laughed but I ignored it when my eyes connected with Jake's. He looked shocked for a moment but his face changed and he broke out into a wide smile. I grinned back and made a move to step towards him but Leah put an arm out to stop me.
"We have been wondering where the hell you've been all day! What happened? And why is everyone here and what are you guys carrying?", she asked everyone though her eyes were on Embry and she looked hurt.
"Relax we had something we had to do. We'll explain everything shortly at the campfire. That's where we're headed and we stopped by to get you two to come with us.", Sam said trying to sooth things over. Leah looked around and nodded. I went to take another step towards Jake when she blocked me again. I looked over at her and raised my eyebrows. I wanted a kiss!
"Yeah we're still really wet so why don't you hold out on a hug for a second", she said. I blushed again when I realized we were soaked and shivered slightly. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, okay. Let's go get dressed and we'll meet you guys back out here in a few minutes", I said and started walking up the stairs to get inside with Leah right behind me. We got inside and I closed the door before running into the kitchen and grabbing the cake out the oven just in time and stirring the soup. I ran upstairs to my room and seen Leah already in there taking off her clothes. I handed her a towel and took off my own clothes and drying off. I pulled on some yoga pants and a pullover hoodie before handing Leah the same thing and grabbing our wet clothes and putting them in the bathtub to dry.
I went back into the room and put on some gym shoes and put my hair into a bun and went back downstairs to pick up quickly before Leah got done. I turned off the stove and wrote a note to Maw-Maw telling her where I was going and that her dinner was on the stove. I locked the back door, turned off the stereo, and went back towards the front door and seen Leah standing there putting her hair up into a ponytail.
"You ready?", I asked
"Yep, let's go", she replied before heading out the door. I followed and locked up and turned around to just see Jake and Embry in the yard.
"They said they'll meet us there, but beware 'cause really curious as to why you guys were soaking wet. Well I am too but I know you'll tell me", Embry said cheekily to Leah, who was currently being crushed to his chest. He bent down and murmured something to her that made her blush. I looked away and locked eyes with Jake. He grinned like a madman and opened his arms up just in time as I launched myself at him.
He caught me easily and crushed me to his chest and kissing the top of my head. I pulled back and stood on my toes and crushed my lips to his. He immediately hugged my closer and traced my bottom lip with his tongue, asking for permission which I easily granted. He easily won dominance while I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in his wonderful woodsy scent. One of the arms that was wrapped around my waist went lower and cupped my ass, pulling me closer to him. I moaned and willed myself to break the kiss. I pulled back and rested my forehead against his and looking into his eyes.
"I missed you today", I whispered.
"I missed you more", he whispered back with a smile. I gave a small smile back and reached down and intertwined my fingers with his and stood back on my feet normally. I turned around and seen Leah and Embry whispering to each other with Embry's arm around her waist. Leah looked away from him and at us and jerked her head back.
"You guys ready to go?"
"Yep, let's get this over with", Jake answered her back. I looked up at him questionably but his eyes were on his brothers. They seemed to have a silent conversation pass through them. I looked at Leah and she had her eyes narrowed on them. She met my eyes with her worried ones and nodded her head at me, saying in no words that something was wrong and she was right from earlier.
She bit her lip and leaned more into Embry and they turned around and headed towards the beach. I went to make a step but found myself being lifted into the air gently and turned to set on Jake's back with his arms securely gripping my legs so I wouldn't fall. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder so that I could see the side of his face. While he was walking I observed his face and felt my heart tighten.
"Something bad is happening isn't it?", I asked him in a whisper, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, but we have everything under control."
I wanted to believe him but my stomach was twisting uncomfortably. I didn't know what was gonna happen but I didn't like the way I felt. Something big was happening and I felt like there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.
