The weekend came and I drove up to Moz's house to visit with my girls cuddled up in the backseat. I had upholstered a tightly woven material that was unbreakable so that Tuna didn't scratch theseats up with her giant lion paws.
On my long journey, I started worrying about the impending Monday. I had been ready to invite the Cullens over to my home and reveal my long past.
All of that changed as soon as he walked in.
I noticed that everyone had frozen while he was standing there fuming. It had hurt that no one jumped to my defense and I realized that family always comes before friends and that's probably how it'sgoing to stay.
I shook my head from the memories and looked up to find Moz standing on his steps beaming at me.
I parked the car and hopped out to hug him fiercely.
"Whoa, where's the fire?" he asked surprised.
"Nowhere, I just really missed you" I sighed while still holding on.
"What about me?" pouted Trina from behind him and I threw myself at her while she laughed at my enthusiasm.
"Aw, Trina got more love than me. No fair Tod." Moz mock glared at me with his arms crossed.
"I know who missed you more" I sang while opening the back door to let Tuna and Fish hop out. They bounded towards Trina and Moz to pepper them with licks on their faces.
"Ugh, what did you feed Tuna? Her breath smells rank" Moz wrinkled his nose.
"A possum I found on the highway" I replied while winking at Trina.
Moz looked disgusted before running to the bathroom to wash the spit off his face. Trina and I laughed at him while heading to their yard to catch up.
"What you been up to?" questioned Trina while serving us some lemonade with sprite.
"Same old, same old. Conning teenagers into thinking I'm one of them while robbing their lockers for homework so they'll stay back a grade. It's a simple but devious crime. They'll all stay in 11th grade
forever."
"Ha ha, cute. What have you really been up to? Made any new friends? Have any boys caught your eyes yet? Killed anyone?"
"What?" Moz thundered "Bella will not be going out with boys! She's too good for any of them."
"Oh hush" Trina waved him away "I don't see why you get all bent out of shape when Bella finds interest in a member of the opposite sex."
"Sex is another thing that is forbidden!" choked out Moz while pointing his finger at me.
Trina and I exchanged glances before staring at Moz.
"I think he likes you more than me!" Trina stated with a raised eyebrow. Moz's face lost all color and he quickly tried to backtrack.
"No, no, no honey! I meant that Bella is just close to me and I… but not closer than you! No, she's nothing! Well, not nothing! She's more like a sister. Yeah! A sister! She shouldn't get close to anyone
because she's a criminal and she's too young and I love you honey and Bella but not in the same way because you're both…"
"All right, I think we get it" I cut off before he rambled the day away. "And Moz, how can you say I'm nothing? After that night, I thought I was your Numero Uno." I teased while Trina tried to keep her
face straight.
"What? There was no such night! Trina, there was no night, believe me baby! I don't even know what she's talking about!" Moz pleaded with Trina.
