Ch 12: Getting Along I See *start*
*Emily's POV*
I looked at Sam as he headed downstairs with a smile on his face as he shook his head.
"What?" I asked, smiling myself. He simply shook his head once more before he responded.
"Nothing. Just those two already getting along, it seems." I smiled.
"Hey!" I looked up to see Jake. "It was an accident 'kay? Sheesh...Emily can I borrow your phone for a minute?" I nodded, smiling and handing it to him. He had been very sad lately because of that Bella girl. This could do him some real good. Maybe this is what he needs to relieve some of that stress from the pack.
"Do you think he'll let her stay?" I asked knowing the answer. He smiled.
"If not, I'll sneak her in every night." he said with a grin.
"Oh? And do what, all alone, Jake?" asked Quil as he came inside. Jake punched him and I frowned.
"No violence in this house boys." I heard them mutter a 'Sorry Emily.'
"Oh, hey, dad. I have to ask you for a favor...." trailed Jake off with a smile growing on his face again.
*Violet's POV*
That was very embarrassing. At least I know it wasn't Paul, he seemed more of a lech. Jacob, I smiled as his name and face came up in my head. I had this strong urge to get to know him. I smiled and bit the side of my lip. I looked at the clothes he had given me, thankful that it was winter wear since I would have to get used to this temperature. You would think that being cold literally 24/7 would prepare you for this, but you don't really feel it. But, oh well.
I quickly began to put on the clothes. It was a long sleeve, light pink, wool shirt. It was comfy except it hung from one shoulder. I thought it looked a little sloppy so I made it slump slightly under both shoulders. Man, I guess even she was pretty tall compared to me. She looked about 5' 6" or so. I stand at 5' 3" with shoes on, so you could see the difference. Next were the jeans. Which were an off blue with some tares in the knees. It was cute. She had even included a pair of underwear that still had tags, new, I presumed. I would need to go shopping.
I had brought a bit of cash with me so it should be good. I placed the socks on my feet and then my navy-blue converse. I fixed my hair, drying it with the towel. Next, I just shook it and brushed it before putting it into a ponytail. I smiled. I felt so cozy here. Well not here as in the bathroom, I meant this house. Surrounded by all these people. This comfort pushed away the guilt I had felt about leaving in the first place.
I stepped outside and walked towards the stairs. I stopped once I saw Jacob on the phone. I was going to turn around when something caught my attention.
"Thanks, dad! You'll love her. She seems like a great person. She's beautiful and, oh sorry, old man. Was I blabbering, again? Well, my bad.... Yeah, we'll see you soon then... Remember to ask Sue if it's ok, though... Alright, bye," he hung up the phone. I grew sad. He must have another girl in mind. The thought made me depressed, yet again. I sighed, maybe this was too good to be true. I walked downstairs.
"Emily? Um...thank you for the change of clothes." I said softly with a smile. She returned it and smiled just as bright.
"No problem! We have something to ask you, though....." I nodded for her to continue. "We only have one room here so..." I nodded
"I understand. I'll just be going...." The path was blocked by that warm chest again. I wanted to lean into the warmth, but restrained myself.
"Oh, no! You misunderstood. I was going to suggest you stay with Jacob here." I looked at them confused. Jacob smiled nervously at me while Emily had a bright smile on her face.
"I don't want to intrude..." I trailed off.
"Don't worry. We have two spare rooms. My sisters are out so it's ok. My dad won't mind. He's eager to meet you... It's if you're ok with it, of course......I understand if you..." he looked so sad. I couldn't help but want to make him smile again. I liked the feeling.
"No, no, no!" I shouted waving my hands to dismiss it. "It's not that" I smiled as he at least stopped frowning. "I'd love to." And there it was, that smile. I think my own just turned larger.
"Great! Uh...I'll pick you up later on. Emily wants to take you shopping, so....yea.... Bye, Violet." I hugged him.
"Thank you and good bye." I said as he smiled and walked backwards towards the door. I giggled when he bumped into it. I turned to Emily who was grinning.
"I think he likes you!" she stated happily. I blushed.
"I-I h-hardly know him" I stuttered out.
"But you will, soon. Actually, we better get going then... I'll just get my purse and..." I stopped her.
"No, it's ok. I have some money with me. You've done enough as it is. Thank you." I smiled and she smiled back.
"Well, ok then. Let's go," she said as she grabbed my hand and led the way to a beat-up black truck. I saw another girl there. "I hope you don't mind. This is Kim. She wanted to meet you. She's Jared's im- I mean, his girlfriend." I gave a confused look at to what she was about to say, but shrugged it off as nothing and my expression changed to happiness as I shook her hand.
"Hey, Jared told me about you. Sorry..." she gave me a sad look. I smiled
"It's ok. It's in the past. I'm Violet."
"Kim! Nice to meet you" She smiled as she introduced herself. "I have a feeling you'll fit right in." she said, causing her and Emily to giggle. I smiled, nervous now.
"Am I missing something?" I asked. They dismissed that with a shake of their heads.
"No, no it's just a woman's intuition. Isn't it, Kim?" Kim nodded at Emily's statement. "Well, let's get going then." With that, I got inside the vehicle.
We had spent a total of 6 hours at the mall in Port Angels. I had bought 5 shirts, 3 long sleeves, 4 tank tops, 5 shorts, 5 jeans and two pairs of shoes, 1 pair of sneakers, two sets of flip flops, and two sets of flats along with underwear and bras, course. Emily and Kim were shocked that I had so much cash, but I told them I had a savings account and took out all my money before deciding to leave. They nodded, not wanting to further question me. I even bought them a few things. Like I got Emily two dresses she said she liked and Kim got 5 shirts she thought were cute. In the end I had enough for lunch at the carts.
"Hungry?" I asked them.
"Oh no, it's ok. I'm waiting until the wel-I mean, the bonfire." she corrected herself. I nodded and looked at Emily questioningly.
"Oh, don't worry. It's late....um...wow...really late! We left the house at 12 and now it's 6. We should head over there now. Jake will be there to pick you up." I nodded. "You can eat there. We usually just hang out there for a while and Old Quil, Quil's grandfather, and Billy, Jake's dad, tell the stories of our ancestors." she informed me. Oh yea! The wolves. I remember the original wolves. The ones we made the treaty with. That was a good many years ago. Maybe a whole generation or two ago. I smiled and nodded my head. "Great let's go." With that, we left arm in arm like if we were best friends. I honestly already thought them as just that. I smiled the whole way there.
*Jacob's POV*
-"Dadddd!" I whined. "Not tonight. Don't creep her out. I want to get her ready before I tell her ANYTHING." I told him.
"What's the matter, Jake? Haven't made a move, yet?" asked Paul. I growled.
"Shut up, Paul! Please, Dad, don't tell them today. At least not this time. She doesn't need nightmares." he sighed.
"Fine, son, but YOU will tell the stories in the next one." I complained and eventually gave in. I muttered fine and he grinned. "Great! Can't wait to meet her!"
"Great, cause here she comes." said Quil.
"Who come Qwuil?" asked little Claire. He and Sam had gone over to pick her up.
"A girl..." He said as he smiled at her and continued to play with her.
I
saw Violet come closer and saw she was wearing the same thing except with different foot wear. They were flip flops. I guess Emily told her about the beach. I wish she would have put on a different shirt. The guys kept looking at her chest, and quite frankly, so was I. Then Claire dropped the pebbles she had in her hand and ran to her. I was surprised.
"Hi pwetty lady, hi Emiwy, Hi Kim!" she shouted. Emily picked her up and I saw Violet blush when I smiled towards her.
"Hi Claire! Violet this is little Claire, Claire this is VIOLET" she said slowly.
"Why_ let!" She shouted slowly. Violet smiled and looked at Emily asking to hold her.
"Hello, Claire. Wow, what a pretty dress you have! Is yellow your favorite color?" She nodded quickly.
"Uh huh. Yewow. Qwil like Yewow, too!" she said as she pointed to Quil. "Qwil like Claire, too" she said smiling.
"Does he, now? Well Violet like Claire very much, too." she said as she tickled her. She just began to laugh before she put her down so Claire could run back over to Quil to talk to him about Violet. She looked so motherly. I could already imagine how she'd be with her own kids, with OUR kids. The thought put a goofy grin on my face.
"Jake! Their talking to you." said my Dad as I came out of my day dream.
"Huh? Oh yea! Hey, Violet. Um, this is my dad. Dad, this is Violet." I introduced them. They shook hands.
"Thank you for letting me stay, sir. That was very generous of you." she said smiling.
"No problem. Name's Billy Black. Call me Billy. No Mister Black or sir, you hear?" he said smiling at her. "Besides Jake here practically begged me." I blushed but smiled when I saw that so did she.
"Thanks, Dad." I said showing that I was annoyed.
"Anytime, son." he said smiling. That made Violet giggle. Damn I think I fell deeper in love with her. Her bell like laugh was amazing...
"Oh Shit! Bella!" I shouted. "Uh, I'll be back, okay?" I told her as I ran over to my rabbit. I jumped in and noticed the clock read 8. Wow time flew by.
