When I go to the living room the following morning, Seth is on the couch with Leah. Chanel runs up to Seth, still in her pajamas. Seth smiles and he looks Chanel in the eyes and he actually freezes. Seth is adorable.
I go to my room when Leah notices Seth looking in Chanel's eyes and smiles. I get dressed in some tights, a tank top, and high heeled boots; all of which are black. I curl shoulder length hair.
"Chanel, are you ready to go to Esme's?" I ask.
She frowns. "I wanna go to Seth's."
"Let me call Esme, she already bought you stuff."
"She did!" Chanel chants. "Okay, I'll go. But I want Seth's next time."
Seth smiles. "Can I ride?"
"Of course, Seth." I smile.
Seth brings Chanel to her room to get her ready. I bring her overnight bag out to the car. I smile at the outfit Seth chose when he carries we to the car.
"She has come cute clothes." Seth smiles.
"I know." I grin. "My grandma Milton is a designer."
Seth straps Chanel in and he gets in the passenger's seat. I start the car up and pull out of the driveway. Seth turns the radio on and he watches Chanel through the rearview mirror. I smile before we pass the Forks line.
Esme steps outside wen I pull in front of the house. Seth gets out and gets Chanel. Esme smiles at the gentleness Seth had towards Chanel and her overnight bag. I get out and follow Seth inside with Esme and Chanel.
"Thanks again, Esme. I'll be back Sunday to get Chanel." I say softly.
Esme smile wife. "Of course, I love children. We will see you Sunday."
Seth and I eat back in the car as Esme sat Chanel down to play. Edward is smiling at us from their second floor balcony. I pull away from their mansion and I drive to Sam and Emily's, as Paul said to.
Sam lets me in and Seth pulls him into the kitchen, along with the other guys. I sit beside Rebecca Black on the love couch while I wait for the guys to finish talking.
"Where is Chanel?" Rebecca asks.
"Esme Cullen is watching her this weekend." I reply.
She nods right as the guys all rejoin us. Rebecca hugs me before leaving with Kim. Leah walks in and sits right beside me, Paul is on the other side of me.
"Paul said there's a secret I need to know." I say, my voice is laced with confusion. "He said I needed to know before our date tomorrow..... is my Chanel safe with the Cullen family?"
"Chanel is safe with the Cullen's, but they are vampires, we are shape shifters." Sam says.
"If the Cullen's are vampires, how is Chanel safe?" I ask.
"They are on an animal blood diet." Jacob replies, entering the house. "They won't harm a human. Esme is the most trusted with a kid, and Alice too."
I nod. "I read that each wolf pack has an alpha."
"I'm the alpha." Sam says sternly.
I hum. "Neat. Your secret is safe with me."
"Good." Sam smiles. "Now, would you like to see us in our wolf Forks?"
My eyes widen. "Yes!"
I follow the pack of wolves outside to the backyard. Sam strips and he phases. His wolf is solid black. Seth decides to go; he imprinted on Chanel, I find that cute. He phases and his wolf is light brown and white.
Quil's wolf has grown fur. I love Leah's wolf, here's is light grey and white. Jacob is a russet colored wolf, Paul is dark gray and white. Embry has grey & silver fur, and Jared has deep brown fur.
I walk up to Leah's wolf and I run my hand through her fur. I smile and I walk to Paul's wolf. I look in his eyes and he purrs. Did he imprint on me? Sam had just explained that to me while we walked out here. I scratch his ear and go to Jared's. He stiffens like he is some kind of kind or something.
"Jared, you're cute and all, but you're no king." I poke his wolf nose.
I step up to Sam, the alpha of the pack. I let his head and I look at the others. I am actually not one bit scared. I miss Chanel, but I know she is in capable hands. The guys and Leah go into the woods and phase. Leah is in a tank and cut off shorts, while the guys are all in fur off shorts and no shirt.
"Y'all are pretty." I smirk as we go back inside.
"Bella just found out." Jacob mumbles. "The crazy girl slapped Paul, he is the hothead of the pack. He phases right in front of her. I jumped over her head and phased before landing."
"She may have pissed her pants, too." Jared cracks a smile as he plops down beside me. "Janelle, when do you get Chanel?"
"Sunday." I reply.
"Paul left to make reservations for your date tomorrow." Sam says. "Go on home and clean up for tomorrow night. We will see you and Chanel on Sunday, for supper."
"Seth, would you like to stay the weekend?" I ask. "You can spend Sunday with Chanel."
Seth perks up. "Yes! Stop by the house so I can get some clothes."
I smile before we all head to my car; Leah, Seth, and myself. When we make it to the house, I go to the bathroom. Seth goes to lead room with her.
I take a long shower and I step out when full clean. I dry off, while looking in a full body mirror on the door. I blow dry my hair while I have a towel wrapped around my body. I dress in an orange pajama set before leaving the bathroom. Steam from the heated water floods out of the now open door.
"When is Chanel's birthday?" Seth asks.
"July 5." I reply.
I go to my room and I shut my door behind me. I check my email, and I have one from my mom.
Hey Janelle. I can't this weekend or anytime soon. I just recently got a new job as an accountant, & and I am in the office daily, I have no time off. I'm terribly sorry, Janelle Miley.
~ mom
I sigh and I close off email. I should have known she would make up an excuse. I walk over to my bed and climb under my blankets. I snuggle with my stuffed wolf and I fall asleep.
