Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Growing Up

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 21:

“Peter can vampires get cancer?”

“No Charlie. Why do you ask?” Already knowing why.

“It’s just Bella seems to be smoking a lot today. She is practically chain smoking. I mean I thought you didn’t even have to breathe if you didn’t want to?”

“Yeah. She says the taste is horrible and takes her mind off blood.” I can’t believe this. After we burned the bodies the other night I had to go to a 24 hour convenience store to pick her up ten packs of cigarettes. She has decided she likes menthol.

Unbelievable. The first vampire in history with a smoking problem. I don’t mind one myself every now and then. Course she hasn’t been bitching about blood anymore so I probably shouldn’t complain.

“Where is Bella, Peter?” Renee asked.

“She took a break from chain smoking to go hang out under water. She is waiting for Garrett to surf over her so she can grab his board and make him fall off.”

“Oh… that sounds fun.” Charlie commented.

“Yeah but she will be up soon. It’s been ten minutes since her last cigarette.”

“Yeah, that is an interesting bathing suit she has on. Any idea where the rest of it went?” Charlie asked. Bella and Kate had decided to go bikini shopping this morning. Kate actually did while Bella stayed on the sidewalk and smoked. So Kate picked out the most barely there bikini available. I figured Bella would say no and refuse to wear it. Apparently though she has great confidence in her body now. I remember when she was embarrassed to wear her one piece at swim practice. Swimming helped build up her self-esteem in more ways than one. I appreciated it until Benjamin and Garrett started appreciating it. Garrett got shocked by Kate. Benjamin unfortunately had no one to shock him.

“No, I have no idea where the rest of it is. But I hope she doesn’t find it.” I grinned. Time to get down to business.

“So listen I need to talk to the two of you.” I started.

“Finally going to ask for my permission to marry my daughter?” Charlie asked raising an eyebrow.

“No, I think that horse left the barn a long time ago. I wanted to talk about you two’s marriage.”

“What the hell is that your business?”

“Charlie shut up and listen to what Peter has to say.” Renee told him sharply. “Go ahead Peter.”

“Don’t do it if you aren’t serious. I mean… look Bella loves you both and I’m pretty sure she has probably wanted the two of you together for a long time. Probably her whole life. You two being together is going to make her happy, despite how she found out about it. But don’t screw this up. If this is some passing fad let it go. I don’t want her to have to go through you two breaking up again. All of you have been through a lot. But she… she made a mistake in high school getting involved with a family that she never had a chance to resist. She left her entire life behind to protect you. Then you two had to leave your lives behind to protect yourselves. She feels guilty about this. She feels like she has ruined your lives. Her life took the biggest impact but she doesn’t see it that way. Now she sees a little hope that things may work out. But if… if this is not serious, please don’t do it. That’s all I’m asking.”

They were both quiet. Good. Maybe they were listening.

Finally Charlie looked at me, grabbing Renee’s hand.

“I can appreciate where you are coming from Peter. I appreciate you looking out for Bella. But we are serious.” Renee nodded her head.

“Okay. I’m gonna go see if the Marlboro girl needs any more cigarettes. Y’all have fun.”

I walked out and saw Benjamin standing on the shore. Bella was nowhere to be seen. Garrett was out a ways catching a large wave. Benjamin raised his hands and the wave suddenly broke over him making his board slide out from under him. The sun had finally gone down enough for all of us to get out. Kate had been under a large umbrella all day enjoying the scenery. Tanya and Irina were decorating the beach with torches and poles with flowers of some sort on them. Garrett paddled out pretty fast and caught another wave. Suddenly his board was gone again. Bella walked out of the surf a second later holding his board. She tossed it onto the ground and ran to Renee’s back porch where she promptly lit up and sat down. I walked over and she hopped her soaking wet ass on my lap. I wasn’t complaining. She wiggled a little bit knowing what I does to me.

“You want to head inside?” I whispered in her ear.

“No. I don’t want to smoke inside Renee’s house.”

“Uhh, you know you can put them down. It’s not like you can get addicted. We can go burn off some of your urges.”

“Yeah baby but I probably need to hold off on that as long as possible. Discipline, remember? I have to learn to control these feelings.”

Wait a fucking minute.

“Bella we were talking about blood lust. Not sex.”

“It’s all lust isn’t it?” Her back was to me but I could hear the grin in her voice.

“You’re going to make me beg aren’t you?”

“No I suppose not. Let me finish this cigarette and you can have your way with me.” She wiggled again. Fucking tease.

“You think I could be in control maybe this time?”

“No.”

“Okay.” It was worth a shot.

Then it hit me. I knew. We had someplace to be. Bella and I.

Garrett, Kate and Tanya walked up.

“Well thanks for fucking up my surfing Bella. I guess I will be preparing to join your parents in Holy Matrimony. Do you know what a sign of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

“Garrett after this we need to leave in the morning. We will grab a limo to get to the airport. You and the others head to my place in Conroe Texas. Close to Houston so you should all be able to hunt. It’s backed up to Sam Houston National Forest so our Veggie vamps should be able to feed. It’s a pretty large lake house surrounded by trees. You all need to stay there. Do not leave.”

“Where will you and Bella be?” he asked.

“We have to go to Alaska.” I told him.

“Any reason why?”

“Yeah there is a reason. I just don’t know what it is yet. Go to Conroe. Nobody should find you guys in Conroe.”

“You think I am afraid of someone finding us?” he laughed.

“Garrett I am going to need you to trust me here. The time to strike is not now. We are not ready.”

“Baby, we are ready for anything.” Bella whispered.

“Not yet. When we strike it will go down quick.”

“I thought you wanted the other two factions to fight amongst themselves?” Tanya asked.

“I do. They will. But all of you know that no one will be neutral in this fight. If we don’t want to join the Volturi we are going to have to have our own side. Our side is not complete. Not yet.”

“We will follow you Peter. You want us in Conroe we will go to Conroe. How long until Bella and you can join us?” Kate asked.

“A few weeks. We are going to drive from Alaska to Texas. It will take a while.”

“Well at least the stewardesses of the world will be safe.” Garrett commented.

Bella did not have a response but she did shoot the finger at him.

“Bella, why are you smoking so often? It smells horrible.” Tanya asked making a face reflecting her feelings.

“Yeah it tastes pretty bad too. But it takes my mind off blood so…”

“So no one will complain, Bella.” Kate said.

“Thank you Kate.” Bella smiled.

“I want to come with you, Peter.” Kate continued looking at us.

“No Kate. You aren’t supposed to. You and Garrett will need to be in Conroe. I need Garrett to run things there.”

” You want me to run things?”

“Yeah Garrett. Make sure the group stays together and hidden. Once we are complete I will know. We can begin operations then.”

“Operations?”

“Yeah. Operations. They aren’t all together. They are recruiting still. Both sides. I would bet Jasper has abandoned his plan for gifted vampires only. He is probably turning vampires all over the place. Aro will probably be using his status as the so called king to press nomads and covens into service for him. I don’t know enough right now. Tanya if you could talk to Eleazar and ask him to stay out of it I would appreciate it. He won’t. He is in too deep. But it will give you an excuse to find out what is going on. I need to know where the Cullens are. See if you can get it from him.”

She nodded. I was wondering about her. I knew she wouldn’t join Eleazar. If she were she would have already. The Cullens setting up Irina was the final straw. She would never join the Cullens now. But would she fight? I think she would. Kate and Irina would definitely fight. They already had. She would follow them. Her loyalty was to the two girls.

“Good. I am ready to get down to business.” Bella commented. She then lit another cigarette.

“Seriously?”

“What? I’m hungry Peter.”

I took a deep breath.

“Well fuck it. Give me one if we are going to have to sit out here.”

May as well go with the flow. My Mate. The first vampire in history addicted to cigarettes.

BPOV

The wedding was beautiful. Mom was in a pretty Hawaiian dress. Dad actually wore a tie. Garrett actually played it straight. I was very concerned about him. He was good though. He wore a huge white ceremonial robe but other than that he played it straight. Mom and Dad. Never would have thought it. Maybe something good could come out of this. I hoped so. They both were wearing white orchid Leis. They exchanged their old rings. Both had kept theirs. I cried. At least my eyes got wet. I had to keep wiping them. I stood at Mom’s side and Dad actually had Peter stand at his.

Mom and Dad said their own vows. I couldn’t believe my Dad said such beautiful words. I guess Mom couldn’t either. I hoped this worked. Maybe some good could come out of this mess.

If they broke up it would be a disaster.

I guess I can just hope for the best.

I needed a cigarette. Or blood. No. A cigarette. Decker would be so pissed at me, but if she knew what the alternative was she would probably be good with cigarettes. Despite my smoking habit, my throat was already reminding me that I needed blood. I guess a girl can’t live off of nicotine alone. I wonder if I can find a place to pick up cigars? I bet they taste better. Probably not. Don’t taste as good as blood. And we have another flight to take. At this point I am considering talking Peter into swimming with me to Alaska.

Mom hugged me after the wedding. I hugged Dad and listened to him lose his breath when I squeezed a bit too hard.

Neither one of them seemed to mind my cold skin. Mom thought it was cool, no surprise, and Dad didn’t mention it but he did say I looked beautiful. That meant a lot to me. A large part of me was really afraid they would see me as a monster. Maybe I was, but at least my parents didn’t think so. Of course Dad thinks I feed from animals.

My family is different than others of our kind Bella. We live off the blood of animals.

Asshole.

Jasper Whitlock may have been our target but I would be keeping an eye out for Edward. One day he would be in my sites. Then game on.

We broke up at the airport and I hugged everybody. We really had become like a family in a short time. Especially Kate. I would miss Kate. I would even miss Garrett a little. But I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to some alone time with Peter. Like it was before Garrett came onto the scene. Just the two of us against the world. Hiding away from the world. That’s what it seemed like anyway.

I was happy with that. It always had been us. We had allies in the past. People we trusted. People we would go to war for and with. But it was always the two of us. Always.

On the flight down I didn’t have to take Peter to the bathroom. Instead we figured out how to sneak down to the luggage hold and made love for 6 hours there. I didn’t even curse much. Just shut up and reveled in the feel of him on top and in me. We landed in Anchorage without incident. I had a difficult time in the terminal but I was quickly outside and lighting up while Peter got our bags. I did keep an eye out for kidnappers but it was not meant to be. It had been 52 hours and 16 minutes give or take thirty seconds since I last fed. Peter bought a really nice four wheel drive Chevy truck in Anchorage. He said we would need it wherever the hell we were going. He also pointed out that there wasn’t a large crime district in Anchorage where I could find a fast meal but there was plenty of wild life in the area.

As Peter is fond of saying, ain’t that a bitch?

We pulled over in the middle of nowhere and ate a couple of bears. I was still picking fur out of my teeth. Just irritating.

“Bella do you have to smoke in the truck? You just fed an hour ago.”

“Scared of second hand smoke?” I grinned.

“No, but it is making the interior stink.”

“I cracked a window.” I argued.

“Doesn’t really help.”

“Why don’t you stop complaining? I know. We could eat some hikers?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“You are not a mindless killer Bella.” He sighed.

“Then stop bitching about my smoking.” I rolled my eyes.

We drove in silence for the next twenty miles. I hate silence when I have nothing to read. May as well fuck with him.

“Peter do you ever feel bad?”

“About what?”

“Taking a 17 year old girl from her home and seducing her?”

“WHAT THE FUCK! You seduced me!”

“No I didn’t. I was an impressionable girl. You totally took advantage of me.” I said quietly looking out the window.

He said nothing. I don’t think he was very happy.

“I remember how you used to stare at me when I walked out of my bedroom in the morning.”

“You were wearing a t shirt that barely hung past your ass and panties. No bra. Was it that cold every morning Bella? Because I don’t think it was. Which means you were doing that on purpose. What did you expect?”

“I didn’t think you would undress me with your eyes. I was quite uncomfortable.”

“Bullshit. You placed the coffee beans on the top shelf. Every morning you would walk to the kitchen and stretch your short ass to the top to pull it down. Every damn morning. You know what that did to me?”

“No. What did it do to you?” I asked holding in a smile.

“You know what it did to me you little bitch.” He mumbled.

“Yeah I may have noticed you lusting after the minor in your home a few times.”

“You were 17. I mean that’s an adult in most states including Texas.”

“Then why did you hold back?”

“I don’t know. Okay? I thought I was doing the right thing.” Poor baby.

“I’m glad we waited. I would have missed out on so much fun teasing you. If you were wondering I pinched my nipples so they would stand out when I walked to the kitchen. I learned that trick off the internet.”

He rolled his eyes so I lit up again daring him to say anything. He didn’t.

“Could you change the radio station? I’m tired of listening to country music all the time.” He hates any music besides country music. Dork.

“What would you like to listen to?”

“I don’t know. I mean can’t you find a station that plays something people actually listen to?”

“People listen to this.”

“Old people.” I pointed out.

“I’m old.”

“I’m not.”

He didn’t reply but he didn’t change the station. I reached over and turned it to XM 2. Oh good. They were playing Beyonce.

“I don’t want to listen to this.”

“I do.” I countered.

“Why don’t we stop and get you an Ipod and you can listen to that?”

“Sure. We can stop at the next glacier and buy one from an Eskimo. Maybe go to the top of Mount McKinley and see if we can get a wireless signal to download songs.”

“Whatever. If you hadn’t drowned your I phone you wouldn’t have a problem.” Ahh. He was pouting.

“I’m all about compromise baby. How about you let me listen to this and I will suck your cock.”

That put a smile on his face.

“Yeah, I think that sounds like a fair compromise.”

Two hours later I finally raised my head. He had a dopey grin on his face. I looked out the window.

“Oh joy. More glaciers. Oh wait… what’s that? Nope. Another glacier.”

“Most people are impressed by the scenery here.”

“I was. The first five hundred miles.” I lit up.

“If you need something in your mouth that bad, you can always go back to my lap.”

“I’m good. I think I’ve swallowed about all I can.”

“Okay then.” He reached for the radio.

“What the hell do you think you are doing?”

“Changing the station.” He said, not looking at me.

“Uh we had a deal.”

“Yeah. You suck my cock and listen to what you want. You are done, so I am too.”

“Peter Whitlock if you touch that damn station I am going to hurt you.”

“Okay…”

“I’m serious.”

“You’re gonna hurt me?”

“Yep.” I glared at him.

“So I guess we won’t be touching the station then.” He mumbled.

He looked annoyed. I blew smoke in his face.

We rode in silence for another couple hours. We were close to Canada. We would be getting more trees with our glaciers now.

I finally let him change the station. After listening to songs about trucks tractors and beer for an hour I finally had enough and decided to play a game. Peter agreed it would help pass the time.

“So if you had to have sex with Colin Farrell or Brad Pitt who would you choose?”

“Neither.” He just shivered a little.

“That’s not the game. You have to answer.”

“Who is Colin Farrell again?”

“The guy who played uh… oh he was in… oh Fright Night. He was the vampire.”

“That stupid ass movie you made me watch?”

“Yeah. It wasn’t that bad.” So maybe it was.

“I would have to go with Brad Pitt.”

“That is so gay. I knew you were bi.” I said.

“Damn it, you said I had to pick someone!”

“So why Brad?”

“He has blonde hair. I got a thing for blondes.” He grinned.

Oh that son of a bitch.

“I knew it. You son of a bitch. I knew you had a thing for blondes.” He was smiling.

“You’re kidding right?” He better be kidding.

“Darlin I love your hair. Nobody else’s. Your turn. Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie?”

Easy.

“Angelina.” I answered immediately.

“That was quick. Any reason why?” hehe.

“Yeah. Angelina is older. More mature. I think she is beautiful. Sultry lips. I mean I bet they would be so soft to kiss. Megan is hot and sexy but Angelina just has this smoldering gaze and those lips. Her breasts are amazing. I love her tattoos also. I think about what she could teach me. I mean you know she has been with girls and the idea of being in her hands… oh my God.”

Let me check his lap. Yep there it is.

“That’s uh… I had no idea you liked her that much… I mean… uh.”

“Your turn. Adam Sandler or Steve Carell?”

“I don’t want to play this game. It’s stupid. Why can’t you ask me about women?”

“This is more fun.”

“I’m not playing.”

“I won’t give you anymore blowjobs.”

“I won’t want any after playing this game.” He growled. Poor baby.

“Fine. Bette Midler or Meryl Streep?”

“Seriously?”

“Yep.”

“Fine. Meryl Streep.”

“Why?”

“That’s not part of the game.” He growled.

“I told you why I would choose Angelina when you asked.”

“Believe me I wish I hadn’t asked now.”

“Yeah those jeans look pretty uncomfortable right about now.”

“Fine, Bill Clinton or George Bush.” He offered.

“Bill Clinton. He obviously knows what he is doing.”

“You answer these questions really fast. Do you spend a lot of time thinking about this?”

I shrugged my shoulders. “Some, I guess.”

“George is from Texas.” He commented.

“Yeah. I’m fucking a guy from Texas and I am stuck in the middle of nowhere staring at ice and listening to country music. I’ll stick with Bill. He wouldn’t complain about me smoking in the oval office. Probably give me a nice cigar.” I winked.

“Shit.”

“What’s the big deal? I would consider a three way if you like George that much.” Peter was pulling over. His face changed. He had the expression I usually only see when he is getting ready to fight. I shut up and prepared.

He pulled over.

“Follow me.”

Duh.

He took off into the woods and I followed. Thirty seconds in and we smelt them. Another ten seconds and we saw them.

“Shield up Bella.” He whispered. ” Mental right now.”

We ran closer and saw them. A little girl, a big guy and a young boy. Vampires. On the ground in front of them was another vampire screaming. We ran up to them. I guess we surprised them because the girl on the ground stopped screaming. I knew it had to be a vampire power and judging by the smile on the little bitches face it was her.

“Hello.” She said in a very sweet voice. We were about the same height. But she looked evil. Something about her look told you that she was trouble.

“What are you doing to her?” Peter asked.

“We are the Volturi. The Cullens are committing crimes and creating an army to destroy all vampires. We are recruiting nomads to join us. This one was not enthusiastic about our cause. I am simply making her so. Speaking of, all vampires are being ordered by Aro to join the Volturi against the threat to our kind. You two may accompany us to Italy as well.”

“Yeah, uh that’s not happening.” Peter calmly informed her.

“Perhaps I could change your mind.” She stared at Peter.

Then she fell down to the ground screaming.

The other two just got possibly paler.

After a few seconds she stopped. Peter glanced at me. I shrugged my shoulder. The young boy stretched out his hands and some sort of smoke came out The smoke hit Peter and shot back at the boy. He was surrounded by it. He had kind of a blank look on his face. Weird.

“Alec, stop using your power!” The young girl shouted. She was looking at us with fear now. The cocky look she had was gone.

The smoke cleared and Alec seemed to come back to his senses.

The big guy looked pretty mad. He dove for Peter. I threw up a shield around us. He hit my shield and the electric arc tossed him in the air. Peter was on him before he hit the ground. The big guy landed on the ground with Peter on his back. Peter hit the big guy’s neck with his hand. Somehow he broke into his skin and grabbed what looked like his spine. Oh gross. He just ripped his head off with half his spine. The little girl was staring at Peter but I still had him connected to me. She fell down screaming again. I landed a boot in Alec’s chest and watched him fly away. Grabbing Jane by the neck she finally stopped screaming. She attempted to claw me. I dodged and threw her in the air. Peter collided with her in the air and twisted her head off before she hit the ground. Alec screamed.

Peter turned around. We were both glaring at the only vampire still in one piece.

Peter was pissed. He tended to carried away a bit when fighting. Probably why Garrett no longer spars with him.

“So you are Alec.” Peter whispered. “The one who can make others lose their senses.”

“Ye… yes.” Alec was backing up. I wonder how long it has been since he has been in a fight that involved the other people actually being able to move. Peter and I both stalked towards him.

“Please don’t…”

“Please don’t what boy. You attacked that girl. She happens to be a good friend of mine.”

Damn right… wait, what? Focus Bella. Vampires to kill.

“We were only doing what we were told.”

“I’m assuming that headless corpse over there is your sister Jane?” Peter asked.

“Yes.”

“Pick her up. Take her. The big guy stays here and burns. The only reason I am letting you two go is the Volturi would be screwed against Whitlock if they didn’t have you. Now when you get back to Italy Aro is going to touch you right?”

“Y… yes.”

“Yes what?” Peter growled.

“Yes sir?”

“I’m going to give you a message for Aro. You tell him me and mine are staying out of this. He can’t defeat us. He cannot even touch us. Not with all the vampires in the world. If he comes after me I…” I cleared my throat…” Sorry, we will destroy him and every member of his guard. We got each other boy?”

“Yes… sir.”

“Pick your scrawny sister up and get your ass out of here. I see you in the States anymore and you ain’t fighting Jasper Whitlock’s army I’m burning both of you. Got it?”

“Yes sir.”

Alec grabbed Jane’s body and head and took off.

“Yeah motherfucker! You better run.” I screamed after him. Peter just looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders.

“What?”

“Yeah mother fucker?”

“I should get to say something.” I pulled out a pack from my back jeans pocket and lit up.

“Give me your lighter.”

“Say please.” He needs to learn manners.

“Please give me your lighter.”

I handed it to him and patted his ass as he walked away. I turned to check on the blonde girl behind us. She was standing. She was… staring at Peter.

“Peter? Is it really you?”

Peter lit the big guy and turned towards her.

“Hey Charlotte.”

“Charlotte?” I asked. I thought…

She ran at him and was wrapped around him.

“Oh my God it is so good to see you. I missed you. I was so scared and here you are saving me again. Thank you so much.”

“It’s alright kid. I got you.” He said smiling. She put her head on his chest now.

“Where the hell are your clothes? Who wears shorts in Alaska?” I asked. Cut off shorts and a tank top that looks like they are painted on. Not cool.

“Oh, Charlotte, this is my mate Bella.”

“Mate?” Whore asked.

“Yeah Mate. Wife. Girlfriend, old lady, reincarnated half of his soul. Been together since the beginning of time. That’s me.” I glared. “You must be the girl who reminds him of his sister.”

“Oh. So you found a mate. I… I mean I’m happy for you Peter. I have been looking for you for decades and here you are. Saving me. With your mate…”

“Yeah if you want to give me a hug you are more than welcome to. But how about we take your arms off my man?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just haven’t seen him in so long. I uh…”

“Now.” I reminded her. Peter just smirked. Asshole.

She unwrapped her arms from Peter but still stood by his side. Guess she didn’t want to give me a hug.

“Are you smoking?” Bright girl asked.

“Yep. I’m a newborn. Keeps my mind off of newborn things, like blood lust and tearing to pieces and burning girls who touch my Mate.”

“Oh. That’s good that you have a… coping mechanism.”

“Peter now that we have saved your… friend, you think we can get back on the road. I’m sure we have at least a hundred miles of glaciers ahead of us.”

“Please let me come with you Peter!” Oh fuck no.

“Bella I think we are supposed to bring her with us.” Peter said quietly.

“You think huh? That one of your feelings?” I was not amused. I was a little jacked up right now.

“Yeah…”

“Can I talk to you in private for a minute?”

“Uh, why don’t you wait here Charlotte. We will be right back.” He smiled. Grrrrr.

I ran about a mile up a small mountain.

“Bella I think we are supposed to take her with us.”

“Fine. Put her on a fucking plane and send her to Garrett.”

“I doubt she has ID. She is a nomad.”

“I’m supposed to ride cross country with her?” He must have lost his damn mind.

“Bella… I know. Believe me if I wasn’t having this feeling…”

“Yeah I bet I know what feeling you are having.”

“Darlin don’t be jealous. You know… I mean how can you be jealous? You know no one can replace you. I love you and only you. I have forever.”

“So she reminded you of your sister huh?” I started tapping my foot. I was a little irritated. Rocks were breaking under my foot.

“Yeah…”

“So your sister looked like a Playboy model?”

“No… it was just her age and her facial features… I don’t know what set it off. I just… Bella I think we are supposed to…”

“Yeah. I got it. Let’s go.”

I ran back to where the little whore was standing.

“You can come with us. You so much as touch my man, even bump into him and I will rip your fucking face off… got it?”

“Yes… of course.”

“If you don’t like me smoking you can ride in the truck bed.”

“I won’t have a problem with it. I just… don’t want to be alone. Not after running from them…”

“Yeah well, you can come with us but you will be alone. Let’s go.” I ran to the truck and she wasn’t behind me. She was talking to Peter.

“NOW!” That caught her attention. She ran to the back of the truck and closed the door. Peter walked up slowly.

“Darlin, how is those newborn emotions doin?”

“Newborn? Newborn emotions? Get your ass in and drive. We need to find a clothing store so our nude model doesn’t look out of place in Canada. Don’t worry. I will pick out her clothes.”

So much for my alone time with my man. I knew Peter would never… but her. Oh… yeah… her. I had a feeling I am going to wind up ripping that bitch to pieces. Dressed like a damn whore…
