Chapter 19 my… Slytherin friends
After following Jacobs' directions mixed with the ones I recognized from Chief Swan leading the back we made it to Port Angelus in about forty minutes. Jacob was entertained by the radio and giving me directions while I dodge idiots on the highway. Broom was much safer way of transportation. My broom reacted so much faster than this rental.
"I do not understand why Americans give people who don't know how to drive Drivers Licenses, it just doesn't make sense." I vented once we were on the off ramp.
"It's one of our worst flaws." He said pointing to the turn lane. "Where to first?" he asked before the light changed green.
"Well… I need a cell phone and we need to get parts for the car…"
"We'll do the phone thing first. That's easiest I think…" he said before directing me to the nearest phone company. "Bella's phone is from here and she's always had great coverage in Forks and on the Rez." He explained when we got out of the car.
Hours and a durable phone later we left the building.
"I can't believe he really tried to sell you that phone!" Jacob was going on about the really flashy pink compact phone the sales person kept coming back to.
I rolled my eyes.
"I was the most expensive one." I said grinning at him.
"Maybe so but still… he could have at least offered it in a different color."
"True." I compromised. "I'm hungry. Where do you want to eat?" I asked once we were back on the main road.
"Umm… what do you like?" he asked.
"Italian sounds good." I said spotting an Italian restaurant down the block.
He didn't say anything as we parked. "is this okay?" I asked before I unbuckled my seat belt.
"Yeah. If it wasn't I would have said something." He said with a Malfoy worthy smirk.
"Okay." I said getting out of the car.
"Hello, welcome to La Bella Italia." A rather big chested and unnatural blonde said leering at the two of us.
"Hullo." I said with a smile that I hoped was polite.
"Another British boy?" she sighed. "You're the third I've had in here today. Just the two of you?" she asked looking at Jacob.
"Yes."
"Very well… this way please…" she said grabbing two menu's, silverware and making her way around a maze of walls and tables.
She sat us in a booth just this side of a blonde man facing opposite of us.
Once she was gone I picked up the menu. I was glad Malfoy had strained it to where, if we went out of lunch, it was always at either Italian or French restaurants, so I at least knew what I needed to look for.
"They actually have a sanitary loo." I heard a familiar voice say.
"By your standards or mine?" I heard another familiar voice drawl.
I looked up from my menu to see Blaise Zabini starting to sit down.
"Blaise? Draco?" I asked making the blonde head whip around at my voice.
"Bloody hell. It's Harry!" Draco said jumping up from his seat and into mine faster than I could blink. Blaise slid slowing into the other side.
"Hello Draco. I completely forgot you and Blaise were coming to America." I said with a smile.
Draco wasn't looking at me though. Something else had caught his attention. Jacob.
"Jacob, this is Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. My Slytherin friends."
"Ah… so they are wiz… I mean like you, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus?" he asked catching himself.
"Yes."
"Wait… you mentioned a Draco earlier… is this the same one?" Jacob asked looking at the blonde boy who was nearly in my lap.
"Yes. Mates, this is Jacob Black. My boyfriend." I said smiling when Jacob turned a bit pink.
"Really?" Draco leered at Jacob.
"Yes." He said still pink.
"Harry James Potter! I thought I told you I had to approve the next one?" Draco chided.
"Yes well… he wont hurt me. Hermione has already threatened him. so has Ron and Remus. Sirius just sat back and grinned." I said triumphantly. Maybe he wouldn't… damn…
"Uhuh. Well Jake, lemme tell you. You harm this bloke here and I will rip your balls off and shove them up your arse." Draco said in a deathly calm voice.
Jacob actually gulped.
"Behave Drake. I said he couldn't hurt me."
"No, you said wont not couldn't."
"Well it's the same thing with him."
"And why is that?" Blaise asked speaking for the first time.
"Because he is my imprinted." Jacob answered.
"You're a wolf?" Blaise asked in a disgusted tone.
"Don't listen to him. He has issues with people who aren't normal." Draco said cuffing Blaise before I could get my hands on him.
The waitress appeared and took our order, Jacob needing a little help from Draco, before giving us our drinks.
Jacob snorted into his Dr. Pepper as she walked away.
"What did she say?" I asked with a smile.
"That all the good guys were gay." He said with a smile.
"Who said you were a good guy?" Blaise sneered.
"I'm going to the restroom. I'll be right back Harry." Jacob said in a clipped tone getting up and making his way to the back of the section.
"Finally. I thought he would never leave." Blaise said with relief.
"Blaise." I sighed. I really didn't want to have to deal with this today.
"What? I don't understand why you have such bad taste in men." He said.
"You only say that because I wont date you." I stated.
"Well if you dated me then you would have good taste." He said smirking at me.
"Well in that case." I said smiling softly. I waited a moment as his face changed from evil to soft and caring. "I'll just have to keep my 'bad taste' in men. Because I wont be dating anyone else, let alone you while Jacob is around." I said honestly. Jacob meant a lot to me and I was used to Blaise's tauntings.
"Yes. Well I must go. Draco I will see you back at the house. Good day. Potter, you will be mine." Blaise sneered possessively before he left through the front door waving off the waitress as she tried to stop him. I rolled my eyes. Why did he always have to say that before he made such a mess out of things?
"Now that that is over. Jacob he's gone you can come back." I said sighing.
"I'm sorry about him Jacob." Draco said softly once he sat back down.
"It's fine." Jacob said taking a sip of his Dr. Pepper.
"It's not. He does it all the time. Harry and I are used to it but you however are not. I apologize on the behalf of Slytherins everywhere. Not all of us are that rude. He was out of bounds." Draco told Jacob.
"Here is your food." The waitress said sitting two plates down. "Are you going to finish your food?" she asked Draco.
"Bloody hell. I'm sorry. Harry distracted me. Yes I'll finish it." Draco said getting up and going back to his seat.
"Your friends don't like me much do they?" Jacob asked once Draco was back in his booth.
"Yes they do. Most of them are just… worried. I have a bad history with guys and well… they assume the worst. Blaise has been trying to get me to date him for years now. Rather annoying honestly." I said eating my food. It was really good… a bit bland but good.
"I would understand if you wanted to be…" he looked so… down. I didn't like it. Not one bit.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence. Blaise knows I don't fancy him. at all." I seethed.
"But…"
"No. No buts. I meant what I said. I'm staying with you until you leave."
"What if I never do?" he asked softly.
"Then I guess you are stuck with me." I said making him smile as I forked some of my mutton into my mouth.
Once Draco gave me his address and phone number and left Jacob was in a much better mood.
A good enough mood to go car part hunting. So another few hours and a couple of car parts later we were on our way back to Forks with fast food between us.
"Hey, dig out that map in the glove box." I said watching the road.
"Okaaaayy…" Jacob said flipping on the underside light to rumble through the glove box to find the little folded up map. "Got it." He said once he had it in his hand.
"Find the number on the little flap and put it into the phone." I said handing him the flip cell out of my pocket.
After he did that I told him to dial it. "It's Bella. Tell her to meet us at my house if she can. I want to hear all about her day surrounded by suitors." I sniggered.
Jacob relayed the message through text being easier seeing as he was laughing too hard for him to make sense talking.
After she sent back a few more texts we were getting off the exit and doing our best to get a hold of what was left of our laughter.
By the time we made it to the house Bella was sitting in her truck outside.
She didn't even look up as we pulled up but something told me that was because her truck was still on and was so loud I could hear it before I turned on to the street and I was pretty sure Jacob could hear it since we got off the exit.
Jacob grinned real big and I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the fast food bag and made the way to the door.
By the time I had the key in the hole I heard Bella scream.
I laughed as I opened the door and tossed the keys on the banister before I made my way to the kitchen.
By the time I sat the bag on the kitchen table Jacob had Bella over his shoulder and three drinks as he made his way in shutting the front door behind him.
"Harry James Potter! I am SO mad at you! How could you leave me alone with those… those… ugh! There's not even a word for them!" Bella seethed once Jacob had sat her and the drinks down.
