Howdy folks! I'm back with another chapter. Hope you enjoy. Let me know. As always, I don't own twilight...
Jacob POV
Seth was driving me crazy. He's my brother and I love him dearly, but I was inches away from wringing is neck.
After dinner we had all returned to our rooms to get ready to go to the boxing match. I was sharing a room with Seth and to say he was a nervous wreck would have been the understatement of the year. I got out of the shower to find him literally pacing the room. I had never seen him so unsettled.
"Calm down, man. You're gonna give yourself a stroke."
He continued pacing, not responding to my words. I sighed heavily and stepped into this path. This seemed to snap him out of it. I grabbed him by the shoulders and held him still.
"It's all going to be fine. Trust me. You and Kira were meant to be together. It's all going to work out. Stop freakin'." I pushed him towards the bathroom. "Go take a shower and calm down."
Seth said nothing, simply took my advice. A few minutes later I heard the shower turn on.
I got dressed and waited for Seth to emerge. I knew for a fact that Kira loved Seth. She had many phone conversations with Jasper about it. I hadn't meant to eavesdrop on their phone calls, but it's hard not to hear when they don't try and hide it. Besides, the entire family knew about Kira's feelings and how she wouldn't try and date Seth because he could imprint on someone else at any time. Now that she was his imprint, there was nothing to stop them.
Seth came out of the bathroom looking a whole lot more calm.
"Thanks, Jake, I needed that. This is all just so nerve raking."
I leaned back in the chair I was in, folding my arms behind my head. "Trust me, you have nothing to be nervous about."
"You seem so sure." Seth commented as he got dressed.
"I live with her family. I have the inside scope." Before Seth could ask me to go into detail, there was a knock on the door...
Kira POV
I showered and changed in record time. Within fifteen minutes, I was out the door and heading to an elevator. I had called down and got the floor and rooms where the guys were staying. It was nice to discover that the front office did what I asked and had put them in the deluxe suites. I knew about where Seth would be. I could find him the rest of the way using smell.
I had dressed in a pair of jeans and a royal blue shirt that fit me tastefully snugly. I wore my customary off duty sandals and made sure to hang my glasses from the front of my shirt. I was almost positive I could control my emotions enough to prevent any eye color fading, but it was better to be safe than sorry. My hair fell freely over my shoulders. I wasn't dolled up, but I was betting Seth wouldn't care. I wore no makeup, but then again, I never did. Makeup was too pricey and too much of a waste of time and effort for my tastes.
After one last inspection in the mirror and a final deep breath, I grabbed my purse and was off.
I rode the elevator to the correct floor and realized I wouldn't have any trouble finding Seth. Quil and Embry were outside in the hall, looking to be dressed for their evening entertainment. They noticed me almost immediately. They rushed over to me and I gave each of them a hug. I really did miss the guys, all of them. I enjoyed having several shapeshifter friends. They made me feel less alone.
"Welcome to the pack." Quil exclaimed excitedly. He and Embry both had stupid looking grins on their faces.
"You're a little premature my friend." I replied.
The smiles faded.
"So, you're rejecting Seth?" Embry asked.
I sighed. "I didn't say that."
"So, you're not rejecting Seth." Quil stated confidently.
I rubbed my eyes gently and sighed again.
"I didn't say that either. Why don't you guy just tell me where Seth's room is before I throw you both in the little room I use to detain people until the police show up to take them away."
"Oh, cool! You have one of those?" Asked Embry. "Do you like take cheaters down there and torture them until they admit to cheating?"
"I'm the head of security for a casino, sweetie, not an enforcer for the mob." I grabbed Embry by the shoulders and turned him around so he was facing the long hallway. "Seth's room, now."
They both chuckled, but proceeded down the hall, stopping 4 doors down.
"Jake and Seth are staying here." Quil said, leaning again the wall next to the door.
I knocked on the door, with Embry and Quil on either side of me. The stupid grins had returned.
It only took a few seconds for the door to open. Jake stood on the other side sporting his own huge smile. It wasn't a stupid grin, but it was close.
Jake had what looked like a look of relief on his face. "Oh, thank god. Seth was beginning to drive me crazy."
I smiled back at him. "Speaking of being driven crazy. Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum here are only seconds away from spending the night in the holding room downstairs."
Jake looked over to his friends and gave them a fake angry look. "Let's go guys. We need to meet up with the others to get to the match." He went back into the room, grabbing his wallet and room key, then left the room, dragging Quil and Embry behind him."
"Have fun guys." Jake called back, shutting the door behind him.
I turned around to find Seth standing by the wall a few feet from me...
To be continued...
Sorry I'm dragging this out so much. I'm having fun. Hope you like.
