Chapter 2
It has been a few hours since we arrived home. Ron and Judy have retired to the backyard, to continue their little Yard-renovation project. Unlike Sam, I completely support them in having a beautiful yard. It's the best place to relax and unwind after a long day. Though, Ron doesn't really like it when I lay down on the grass. But if Mojo can do it, then dammit so can I.
Sam was in his room doing whatever he usually does when he's not with me. And I as taking the opportunity the adults were occupied outside and took a much needed shower. Apparently Sam heard that there was going to be a party at the lake tonight. So he wants to go and show off the fact that he has a car. That or he wants to oogle at some makeily girl that he's totally in love with, poor bastard. I don't care either way as long as I can spend a few hours in my humanoid form.
After my shower, I changed into the clothes I had brought with me. This consisted of another pair of jean shorts though these didn't have a comfy tail hole. Demons are very rare this far south, and people aren't the nicest too my kind. Apparently we have a bad history. So I don't always broadcast it; especially around asshole teenagers.
Giving myself a once over, I headed to Sam's room "Okay, I'm ready to go" I chirped, walking by him and sitting on the bed.
Sam looked at me with an almost sorry smile "Weeell about that…. You see….. Miles is coming with" he said, avoiding eye contact.
My face fell. "Oh come on Sam! I haven't been out in weeeeks, I need to stretch my legs." I complained.
"I know, I know I'm sorry but he made me promise to take him if I went." He said with a pleading look.
I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest. "Fine, but I'm not going to be nice to him." I growled "And if he even tries to rub my belly, I'm biting him." I finished and transformed.
Sam nodded "I can live with that." He said, moving to the door.
We went downstairs and out the back door. As expected Ron and Judy were still outside, working on the yard. When we were walking out the door, I heard Judy say something about how the path tiles were wobbly and loose. I pranced across the yard and stopped next to the car door. Sam tried to follow me while getting yelling at his mom about Mojos 'Bling'. But he got scolded by Ron for walking on the grass. I smirked to myself as Sam argued with them. Hats what you get for bringing Miles" I whispered quietly; earning a curious whirl from the car. 'I should really give him a name.' I though, idly glancing at said car.
Eventually, Sam made it to the car and opened the door for me. I jumped right in and moved to lay down in the back seat; I'm really starting to like it, the seats are warm back there. Sam got in after me, and started the car. Smoke came out of the exhaust pipe and I faintly heard Judy calling Ron a cheapo.
We arrived at Miles's house a few minutes later. He was standing out front with a stupid grin on his face, looking at the car. Sam stopped the car as Miles approached us. He hopped in and greeted Sam, then turned and looked at me before smiling. "Hey there sweetie pie! How's my girl doing today" he said reaching out a hand to try and pet me.
I narrowed my eyes, ears going flat against my head; and growled threateningly bearing my teeth. His eyes widened, fear crossing his face. He retracted his hand instantly; turning back to Sam. "I guess she's not in the mood today" he said awkwardly. I just kept growling at him, giving him a deep bark before calming down and returning to my position.
Sam smirked at him "She just doesn't like you Miles." He said turning from the house. Miles just rolled his eyes and finished the conversation with a quiet. 'Whatever'
Shortly after, we arrived at the lake. That's when miles asked the same questions ive been asking myself. "Dude, are we even invited to this party?" he asked looking around.
"Course, it's in a lake. Public property." He responded looking around cutting the engine. Suddenly he tensed, eyes widening on what he saw. "Oh my god, oh my god, Dude, dude dude oh my god" he said, while hitting Miles's arm excitedly.
"What?" Miles asked trying to dodge Sam's attacks.
"It's Mikaela, Dude she's here. Oh my god." He said. I got up and followed his line of sight. What met my gaze left me a bit dumbstruck. She was quite beautiful, for a human. Tall, tan, and with a perfect body, long brown hair and blue eyes. No wonder Sam likes her.
Sam took a deep breath, looked at Miles and frowned. "Dude, don't embarrass us" he said and turned to me "Don't bite anyone" he told me. I just gave him my best 'screw you' face. And with that we climbed out of the car. I followed Sam to a tree next to the car; where he tried and failed to look casual, while checking out Mikaela. And Miles…..Well he tried to climb the poor tree.
Not long after, a tall male with large muscles approached us. "Nice car, bro" he said to Sam who was frozen in place. "So what are you guys doing here?" he asked starring down Sam.
Sam just looked at him, fear evident on his face. "We're here to uh….. climb this tree, yeah" he almost stuttered, still trying to act as natural as possible.
"Yeah" the tall guy snorted "I can see that, looks like" he paused trying to find a word. "Fun" he finished. Sam nodded once and looked back at Miles. Then a pensive look came across the guys face. "Hey, you look familiar; didn't you try out for the football team last year?"
I looked at Sam, confused. He quickly responded sounding nervous. Oh I wasn't really trying out….uh I was doing research for a book." He said.
The guy smirked. "oh yeah? What was it about? Sucking at sports?" he said, earning a laugh from his friends.
Sam pursed his lips and I could see the comeback coming. "Haha yeah no. actually it's about the link between brain damage and heavy sports" he smirked "yeah it's a really fun book. It's got colouring sections and pop ups… your friends would love it"
The guys smile disappeared and turned into a snarl. "Oh that really funny." he took a threatening step towards Sam. I immediately jumped in front of Sam and growled at the giant. But before either of us could do anything the Mikaela girl stepped in between us.
"Okay you know what? You need to stop." She said to the guy. He frowned at her, confused for moment; then turned to his friends.
"Come on guys, I know a party, let's head." He said, walking to his truck. I growled at him but stayed and just moved to the car sending him small glares. Mikaela followed after the guy with a pissed expression on her face.
Sam sighed in relief and turned to Miles, urging him to down from the tree. Once Miles got down from the tree, they moved to get back in the car. Miles opened the door for me and I jumped right to my spot; though he closed it again and tried to climb in through the window. I rolled my eyes at him.
Sam was leaning up against the front of the car, watching Mikaela and the muscle guy argue about something. She turned away from the guy and started to walk down the road.
The radio turned on and played a country song snip. "Who's going to drive her home tonight" it sang as Sam watched Mikaela walk away. Miles started to hit the radio complaining about it being busted. I growled at him to stop. He did so instantly, inching away from me, as we were having our little moment. Sam came in and started the car mumbling about driving her home tonight.
Miles looked at Sam in disbelief. "What? Her? She's an evil jock concubine dude! Let her hitchhike." He complained.
Sam looked at him desperately. "She lives ten miles away from here, man! This is my chance! You have to understand"
"Fine, just put her in the back with Ren; I'll be quiet." He said, rolling his eyes and crossing his harms over his chest.
Sam looked at his like he just got slapped with a fish. "Put her….. in the back?" he asked in disbelief. "Dude, you've got to get out of the car." He said quickly.
Miles's eyes widened "What!? Party foul! Way to piss on the rules man." He pouted.
Sam looked at him confused. "What rules?" he asked.
"Bros' before hoes." Miles said.
"Miles, I'm begging- no Pleading you. Please get out of the car!" he said with puppy eyes.
It took a moment, but he finally gave in "Fine whatever" Miles grumbled, climbing out of the car and slamming the door. Then Sam turned to me.
"Don't even think about it, lover boy. If anything I'll help you with this since I know for a fact that she's a dog person." I growled at him.
"How do you know that? You just met her" he asked
"I'm a demon Sam, I have heightened sense of smell" I said with a 'no-duh' tone.
Sam sighed, grumbling a soft "fine" before going after Mikaela.
When we approached her, Sam slowed down and started to talk to her. "Hey, Mikaela! It's Sam" he said. Though Mikaela either didn't hear him, or was ignoring him. "Witwicky?.. I hope I didn't get you stranded or anything. So… I was wondering if I could ride you home" Immediately recognizing his mistake. "I-I mean if I could give you a ride home." He finally said.
Mikaela stopped and had a little mental battle before looking to the inside of the car. She looked at Sam for a moment and then at me. I gave her my best 'come and pet me' face at her. She took a deep breath and opened the car door and climbed in. Sam beamed at her, happy that his little plan actually worked. Mikaela turned around and smiled at me. Taking a hand and scratching behind my left ear. I leaned into her hand closing my eyes.
"Hi cutie pie" she whispered at me. When she was finished with her ministrations, she turned back to the front. I smirked at Sam; sending an 'I told you so' look. Sam rolled his eyes at me, revved the engine and we were off.
We drove in silence for a while. Mikaela was looking out the window. Sam was glancing at her every once and a while; probably thinking of a way to break the ice, I was just laying down in my seat watching the scene infold.
Finally Sam cracked "So….uh" he began. But Mikaela cut him off.
"I can't believe I'm here right now." She said leaning on her hand.
"You can duck, if you want. I mean, it wouldn't hurt my feelings" He said, hiding his sad face.
"Oh, I didn't mean here with you" She said with a small smile. "I just mean like… in this situation" I raised a non-existing eyebrow.
"What situation?' Sam asked her.
"The same situation I'm always in" She sighed "I don't know, I guess I have a weakness for hot guys with tight abs and big muscles….."
'Don't we all, sister. Don't. We. All.' I thought
Sam nodded, taking his right hand and trying to flex it by showing off the little disco ball on the rear-view mirror. She didn't seem too impressed.
"So, are you new to school this year?" She asked.
Sam grimaced a bit. "Actually we're been in the same class since first grade." He said avoiding her gaze.
"Really? Do we have any classes together?" She asked him.
"Yeah, uh History, Math, Language arts, Science" He said.
Her face scrunched up in concentration. "Sam" she said loudly. "It's short for something right?"
"Samuel" he said with a small smile.
"Samuel Witwickity" she said in victory.
"It's uh Witwicky, but yeah you got it." Sam chuckled
"God, you know what? I am so sorry." She apologised
"No, that's totally cool." He assured her. She smiled in return
Suddenly the engine stalled and the car took a sharp turn and went off road. "Sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry" Sam kept saying , trying to get the car under control. Mikaela and I jumped around in our seats, due to the bumps on the road and speed. I dug my claws into the seat and started to growl.
The radio started to play some kinky old love song as it parked on a hill. Outside, the sun was setting, casting a romantic glow; quite the beautiful sight. But un-fortunately this wasn't the time for romance. Mikaela was visibly uncomfortable, squirming in her seat, while Sam stuttered apologies.
"Just pop the hood" Mikaela said impatiently, and climbed out of the car; though Sam took a while to follow her since he was trying to turn off the radio. Once he succeeded he got out of the car and moved to the front hood.
They talked for a while about the engine and other stuff, until finally Mikaela popped her head in through the window and got her purse. She gave me a smile and started to walk away. Well he blew it" I said to myself.
"No,no,no,no,no" Sam almost yelled, climbing in the car and trying to start it. After a few tries he succeeded. We sped off after her with the radio singing "Baby come back"
"Mikaela!" he shouted to her. "Please, come on. I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that" he pleaded. After a few more words of mercy from Sam, Mikaela finally gave in.
We arrived at her house an hour later when it was dark. Mikaela smiled at Sam. "I had fun, Sam. And uh, thanks for listening" she said
"Any time, I'll be happy to help" Sam said smiling at her.
"You think I'm shallow, don't you?" She asked frowning.
"No, no! I think, that there's more than meets the eye… with you." He said quickly.
"Yeah?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Of course!" he said, now more sure of himself.
"Okay, well see you at school then" She said with a smile, climbing out of the car and heading to the house.
I smiled and transformed to my humanoid form, jumping to the front seat. Looking at Sam I smirked at him. "Well that went well" I said getting comfortable.
"Yeah, it did." He said in disbelief. He started to laugh and jump up and down in his seat. "God I love this car!" he squealed.
I giggled to myself at his antics. "Human courtship is so weird" I said with an amused smile.
Sam looked at me with a pout. "Look who's talking, like demon courtship is any better" he said. I stuck out my tongue at him, as we drove home.
"It's simpler" I said turning to look out the window, feeling the seat warm underneath me.
