Chapter Sixteen
I woke up abruptly and wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth, turning the clock on my desk towards me so I could see the time. I squinted to see the numbers more clearly: 2:30 am
Well, no wonder I'm so tired. I stood up slowly and rubbed my eyes. I'm so tired, how am I suppose to drive home?I'll find a way. Even though I'm not even that good of a driver even when I'm alert and I've gotten into multiple car accidents... Yeah, I should be fine.
I made my way out of the office and it was really dark and freaky looking. Everyone was gone home so it was just a dark and deserted hall way, so I started to whistle a happy song until I remembered that I can't whistle, so I hummed. I walked quickly out the door, locked it, and walked to the elevator. I pressed the button for the main floor and it started on it's journey down the building. It came to a sudden stop with a loud thud and I felt immediately sick to my stomach. Oh great, I'm going to die in here. I pressed the alarm button and curled up into a little ball in the corner. I felt my eye lids start slowly shutting,
"Kimberly." I heard a deep voice boom and I looked up not knowing where it was coming from,
"God?" I questioned and I heard a sigh.
"Well, you can call me Jake." he said,
"Oh, Mr. Roland! Your voice sounds so much deeper over the intercom. I have to admit, I am SO relieved you're here... Wait, why are you here anyway?" I asked and I heard some rustling on the intercom.
"Move out of the way, douchebag! Kimmy?" I heard Robin's worried voice say and I chuckled,
"Hey Rob." I sighed with a smile,
"Oh don't you be all breezy and cool with me, I was worried sick! You know what time it is? Do you? Do... What time is it, Jake?" she whispered,
"2:50"
"It is 2:50! And I have not been able to sleep, or reach you or- or- oh my god... You have a pinball machine in here!? Bad ass!" she exclaimed, and I sighed waiting for the next voice to come on.
"You two really are a special, aren't you?" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes,
"Oh yes, yes, we really have an adorable friendship- Get me the hell out of here!" I yelled,
"Right! Right, hold on a second, I should be able to get it running again by pressing a certain button..." he muttered and didn't sound quite certain of what he was doing.
"Please tell me that there isn't a certain button you can push that'll make the elevator explode." I sighed,
"Of course there isn't! There isn't right?Of course there isn't!" he whispered to someone and I found that to be less than reassuring.
"Who are you talking to now?" I asked,
"Only Robin, she seems to know how elevators work..." he said and my eyes went wide.
"You're leaving this up to Robin?! Robin doesn't know how keys and locks work!" I exclaimed in frustration.
"Whoa there, Missy! You know what? I think after that I may just have to leave you in there for a while to think about what you just said because-",
"No! No, please? I'm sorry! I'm sorry... Just please, get me out of here, I'm starting to feel claustrophobic." I said and she sighed.
"Alright... But it's logical you know, there are SO many different houses in the world how can there be THAT many different keys, I just don't get how-",
"Robin!" I shouted,
"Oh don't get your panties in a twist I'm pressing the button. Hopefully it's the right one. If not, I would like to apologize in advance for your death... and I'll take care of your annoying ass little dog." she mumbled and I scoffed,
"She is not-" I felt the elevator shake a little and start moving down. "Yes! It's working!" I did a little happy dance jumping back up to my feet.
"Oh yay! Oh, you're the best Robin! Yay! Yay!" Robin cheered for herself and I took the hint,
"Thank you, Rob." I smiled. I felt it stop and I got out and sighed with relief. I saw Robin and Mr. Roland come out of a room quickly and she jumped on me,
"Yay! You're okay! Carry me to the car, I'm tired now..." she groaned clinging on to me like a spider monkey, I shook my head with a smile and just walked out with her wrapped around me.
"Thank you for coming to get me out of there." I turned to him before leaving to get into my car,
"It's the least I can do." he smiled and turned to get into his.
"Oh Kim, I love you, why don't give me a chance?" Robin said in a deep voice, "All right, Jacob, I would love too because that is a totally reasonable thing of you to ask of me and the fact you're my boss isn't that important anyway, I'm just being a little whiney tease." she mimicked my voice perfectly and laughed until I let go of her, "Ow! I should have left you in the elevator..." she groaned, rubbing her head and I smirked helping her back up.
"Sorry, let's go home." I said and she nodded in agreement getting into the car.
"You know when I called Jake and told him you were stuck in the elevator and stuff, he left his insanely hot date to come help you. That's something! Give him a chance, why don't you? Come on... Come on!" she urged me and poked my arm as I drove,
"I did research on werewolves, you know? They are vicious... They have the senses of wolves and men but they're all extremely heightened and it's unnatural! It's unnatural and I'm still not at peace with it because it's weird, okay? It's weird!" I exclaimed and she frowned leaning back into her seat.
"You think they don't know that? It was a curse from a long time ago that made them like this! Who cares if he's thirty-seven years old, he's still really hot and-",
"What?!" I shouted in surprise and stopped the car,
"Uh... Umm... I said... Who cares if he's twenty-seven years old. TWENTY-seven." she smiled sheepishly and I felt my jaw drop.
"Oh my god." I mouthed and she sighed,
"Yeah, that's what I said when he told me... You know how old Mason is? Twenty nine! He is a Twenty nine year old werewolf, who still looks eighteen. Also he is also only their half brother, and his mother was a half human half vampire woman and his father is Jake's father... But there is so much going on and it's so complicated!" she exclaimed and sinking down into her seat even more.
"Which is why I don't want to get all mixed up in it!" I stated, as though it would be obvious that it's the smart thing to do.
"Yeah but they don't age as fast as humans! So they're still so hot! They're so hot! Just kiss him and stuff, you'll like it. They're experienced and they're animalistic... And... And... Mmm..." she moaned looking content and I sighed,
"Why don't you kiss him, if you think they're that great!" I chuckled and she raised an eyebrow.
"And you would be okay with this?" she asked with a cocky "I-don't-believe-you" smirk on her face,
"Yeah, why not? He's my boss. I don't think of him in that way." I shrugged and she scoffed,
"Fine, I will." she grinned a mischeavous grin and I smelt trouble.
Robin's p.o.v.
"Hello Jake... may I converse with you for a moment?" I said loudly enough so that Kim could hear me in the next room,
"You may, come on in." he chuckled and stepped back letting me walk in and as soon as the door closed I turned to him and smashed my lips against his and pulled away.
"Oh... Uh... I... Um." he stammered and I giggled,
"Oh Jake you're so funny!" I laughed loudly towards the wall and turned back to him.
"All right, I want you to pretend that we're making out and stuff to make Kim jealous, play along." I whispered and he smirked,
"Okay, then why did you kiss me for real?" he whispered and I shrugged,
"Then I won't have to really lie when I say that I did... I am a horrible liar." I sighed, "Okay now make moaning noises." I smiled and he did and I fought the urge to laugh.
"Oh Jake, mmm." I moaned and he shook his head with a smile.
"Mmm... No, I gotta go." I sighed,
"No don't, please stay the night." he pleaded and I nodded with a thumbs up,
"I can't... I have to go. Maybe tomorrow?" I said and he smirked,
"Absolutely." he replied and I winked at him and left the room to see Mason at the door.
"Oh, come on!" I shouted in frustration and he frowned,
"I'm sorry, did I make YOU upset?" he asked and turned and stormed off,
"Let me explain." I sighed, following him back to his room.
"You know, I had a feeling you liked him." he scoffed and I rolled my eyes with a groan,
"You don't understand, we were faking it, so we could make Kim jealous so she'll finally see that she likes him." I explained and he nodded.
"I see..." I whispered looking down at his feet,
"Do you?" I asked with a smirked and he frowned and sat down on his bed and sulked a little, "Aww... Why you have a frowny face?".
"I wasn't jealous." he said defensively,
"That's not what I said." I smirked and he blushed,
"I know that..." he scoffed and I sat down beside him and I kissed his cheek.
"I like you." I poked him and he smiled,
"I like you too... A lot." he whispered and I smiled,
"I know." and I cuddled up against him and fell asleep.
Kim's p.o.v.
I can't believe Robin! She didn't really do that did she?! I mean, not that I care! But what about Mason! Doesn't she like him? I mean, seriously! I ran next door and banged on the door,
"Can I help you?" he asked and I glared at him,
"You violated my best friend." I spat and he chuckled.
"So you heard that?" he asked and I scoffed,
"Deaf people in Russia could hear you." I replied sarcastically and he frowned,
"So sue me. Robin's hot. She came to my room and we fooled around a bit. Is that so bad?" he asked and my eyes went wide.
"Yes!" I exclaimed in response and he sighed, "How could you do that to Mason? You know how much Robin means to him." I frowned and he looked down,
"We didn't really kiss." he whispered and I scoffed and shrugged,
"Do you think I'm stupid? I heard you." I said and he shook his head.
"It was Robin's idea to make you jealous." he smirked and I laughed,
"Oh Robin... Alright then, well, goodnight sir." I smiled and went back to my room.
