H o n e y - Carlisle Cullen

II

The weekend came and Honey had her days busy but was looking for time to hang out with Charlie and Bella, as well as Billy and Jacob. With their help it was possible to furnish the bakery and it end up being beautiful. The opening day was approaching and they still had to deliver the flyers, that's how the whole day went by. Person after person, flyer after flyer. The people of Forks were beginning to take a liking to Honey, there was no doubt that she lived up to her name.

Honey was feeling anxious, hoping that everything would turn out well and that people would enjoy her desserts. Honey was preparing the last desserts to have them ready, Bella and Jacob were helping her and she breathed an air of happiness. The three of them were listening to music and dancing around the kitchen, yes, even Bella. After everything was baked, Honey offered to drive the two of them home. Bella was left first, her house was the nearest one. Then, Honey drove to the reservation and stopped in front of Jacob's house. Honey decided to get out of her car to give Billy some cookies. They both went to the house and Jacob opened the door inviting her to get in. Honey smiled and enter the house, a cozy and warm feeling enveloped her as she looked around the house. Jacob led her into the living room, which is where his dad spends most of his time. Entering the living room, Honey and Jacob found that his dad was not alone. Three shirtless guys sitting across from Billy with serious expressions where in there. One of them was tall, with dark brown eyes, short black hair, muscular but not much, red brown skin, and a tattoo on his arm. The second was, like the first, tall but slightly shorter than him. He has muscles but not as defined as those of the first boy, the skin is the same color, brown eyes and cropped black hair. He also had a tattoo on his arm. And the third one, he was well-built and tall boy, he has the same skin color as the other two, his hair is black and somewhat disheveled, his eyes are black and he has a tattoo on his arm, like the other two boys. Are they part of a fraternity?  Honey thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by someone calling her and she realized that she was staring at the boys and she blushed looking away with their chuckles in the background.

- Sorry, it wasn't my intention to stare. - she said with a nervous smile.

- Don't worry, is okay, Honey. - the boys look confused at the name and they turned to Billy and Jacob for an explanation.

- Oh yes! Boys, meet Honey. - Billy said gesturing to Honey. Sam was the one to step forward and he offered her his hand which she gladly accept.

- I'm Sam Uley. - he said looking her in the eyes and something that was unimaginable happened. Sam tensed and through his eyes passed pieces of visions and moments of him with Honey, but none seemed to be in a romantic way, in some of them he was seen with Emily even with him being next to Honey. It was impossible, he already has an imprint. Those were his thoughts and Honey wasn't that far from him, she couldn't looked away and a warm feeling covered her chest. All the left ones in the room understood what was happening and they looked at each other with worry and confusion. What was happening? Billy had an idea but he needed to investigate a little more. Honey realized she was in a trance, again. And she cleared her throat, pulling away slightly and releasing her hand from Sam's. Then, she looked to the second guy and extended her hand.

- I'm Jared Cameron. - he said with a slight smile but his eyes told another think. Honey looked closely and the exact same feeling Sam gave her is the one Jared was giving her. Jared couldn't believed it, he already had an imprint. But he couldn't help the pull that was connecting him to Honey. Jared tensed and through his eyes passed pieces of visions and moments of him with Honey, but none seemed to be in a romantic way. And she was also Sam's imprint for God's sake! That was weird. Honey got out of the trance and break away from the handshake. She went to the third and final guy and took his hand.

- I'm Paul Lahote. - he said with a little smirk and a nod, she looked at his eyes and...here we go again. He thought it was impossible. Come on! It was his alpha's imprint, and Jared's! There has to be something wrong. On the other hand, Paul couldnt help but search for visions and moments of him with Honey. There was nothing to suggest that they were connected in a romantic way. This time it was Paul the one who pulled away. Sam began to growl under his breath. He couldn't help it, Honey was his imprint too and he didn't like that Jared and Paul imprinted on her. And, of course, Jared and Paul weren't happy with that idea. Both of them started to growl and to shake without Honey noticing it because Billy made sure that she wasn't looking. Billy shot them a warning look and the three of them calmed down a bit, they knew they couldn't shift in front of Honey and risk both her and them. Once they calmed down, they took another step forward to her and she turn to look at them. Honey gave them a big smile and an awkward wave.

- I'm Melisa Baker, but everyone calls me Honey. - she said looking at the floor. They all smile at her awkwardness. 

- Honey? Why do they call you that? - Jared asked making Honey look at him.

- Well, first of all it's about my hair. They say that it resembles the color of honey and more when it is in direct sunlight. They also say it because of my personality, people have told me that I'm as sweet as honey. And let's not forget that I'm a baker and I have several recipes that contain honey. Plus, it lives up to my name, Honey Baker, and the name of my bakery, Honey Bakery. - she said with a smile.

The boys saw her with a smile, it was clear that now they understood the reason for her nickname.

- It suits you. - Paul said giving her a smile.

- Thanks. - she said and couldn't help that slight blush that covered her cheeks. 

- Well, I came to bring Jacob after he was helping me with the bakery and it was getting late, I didn't want to let him come alone.- She turned to Billy. - And...I brought some cookies for you to enjoy. - she approached Billy and gave him the box with a hug.

- Thank you, Honey. I'm sure I will love them and the boys will too. - he said gesturing to the three boys that were still looking at her and then turned to Jacob signaling him to take the box with cookies to the kitchen. 

- Well it was nice meeting you boys but I have to go now. Tomorrow will be a great day.

- Oh, true! Tomorrow is the inauguration, rest assured that we will be there. - Billy said waving at her.

- I can't wait to see you! Bye Billy, bye boys. Bye Jake! - she said goodbye to all of them and yelled at Jake. She get out of the house and in her car. She waved one last time and started the engine. Once she was out their sight, the three boys look at each other and then turned to look at Billy rising their eyebrows. 

- I think we need an explanation. - Sam said with a stern voice. Paul and Jared nodded.

- Yeah, I need it too. - Billy said looking outside the window.
