ππππππππ ππ π ππππ ππ πππππ, πππππ, πππ πππππππππ, Quil and Embry both looked over the girls with curious expressions on their faces, neither knowing what to do with the awkward atmosphere.
"So the bike building story is true." Quil stated rather than asking as he glanced down from the bike, and its parts, then to Bella and Catherine.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, I taught him everything he knows." Bella joked softly trying to break some of the tension in the room, repeatedly rubbing her hands on her jeans
"What about the part where she's his girlfriend." Quil asked pointing over toward Catherine, who immediately blushed a bright shade of red.
Bella on the other hand's eyes widened exponentially before she let out a string of horribly muffled laughs, whilst Jacob was quick to begin to glare at his friend.
"Oh, there just friends," Bella tried to answer after clearing her throat, a smirk coming over her face as she turned towards Catherine. "last I checked, right?"
Hearing Bella point the conversation over to her, Catherine's large and adorable eyes widened as she began to look like a child caught doing something wrong.
"We-We're just friends, great friends." Catherine answered tucking a strand of her long curly dark brown hair behind her ear, with her eyes trained directly on the floor.
"Ooh, burn." Embry, who had been quiet up til now, said loudly as he and Quil began laughing at the flushed look on Jacob's face.
"I-If you remember I-IΒ said she's a girl and a friend," Jacob stuttered as he felt his ears begin to burn, feeling completely embarrassed by his stupid friends. "separately."
"So that means she's fair game right?" Embry said tilting his head to the side, looking a blushing Catherine up and down.
Having only glanced up for a millisecond, Catherine somehow caught the boy's gaze and flirtatious wink, causing her to quickly drop her gaze again as her fave began to redden even more.
"Woah no, we may not be dating," Jacob said seeing the look Embry and Catherine shared, making him want, no need, to shut that down immediately. "but she's my Bunny, just mines."
"Embry you remember him making the friend-girl distinction?" Quil asked as he glanced over at Embry, who had just finished rolling his eyes at Jacob's words.
"Nope." Embry said with a large smile on his face, still trying his best not to laugh at the embarrassed look on Jacob's face.
"What about her being his bunny?" Quil asked another question as he put his index finger on his thumb, his face holding a thinking expression.
"Again I just can't seem to recall that." Embry said a bit more sophistication as he continued to work with Quil to embarrass Jacob more in front of his more than rare female company.
"So I take it one of you two has a girlfriend," Bella asked trying to take some of the heat off of Jacob and Catherine, her words causing Jacob to chuckle. "that's awesome."
"Right," Jacob said laughing at his friends, happy the attention was off of him and Catherine's relationship, or lack thereof. "Quil's taking his cousin to prom."
"Yeah, that's still a riot." Quil said after scoffing and rolling his eyes, Embry, on the other hand, let out a low chuckle. "you want funny, Black, I'll give you funny."
As he spoke, Quil was quick to make a run over towards Jacob aiming to tackle him at his midsection, but Jake was quick to dodge and a small brawl began.
Seeing the two beginning to playfully fight Embry was quick to scurry over toward Bella and Catherine, both of which were just watching and laughing.
"I got five bucks on Quil." Embry said folding his arms as he moved to stand beside Catherine, who was quick to turn to him with a wide mouth shocked expression.
"You are so on." Catherine said quickly shaking the boy's hand before the two turned back to watch Quil and Jacob tussle
ππππππππ πππ πππππ ππππ ππ πππππ πππ ππππ πππππ ππππ π πππ ππππ πππππ, Catherine caught the attention of everyone in the room as she moved near the door of the garage.
"Now that the brawl is over," Catherine giggled as she motioned between Jacob and Quil, before turning towards Embry with a five in her hands. "thank you for the five Embry."
Seeing the money in Catherine's hand, Embry was quick to turn towards his long-time friend Quil, before smacking him upside the head.
"You owe me five dollars." Embry said with an annoyed look on his face as he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"No one told you to bet on me against Jake," Quil said as he gave Embry an outraged look, whilst rubbing the back of his now hurting hand. "I wouldn't bet on me against Jake."
Watching the two interact, Catherine, Jacob, and Bella couldn't help the chuckles that left their mouths despite their trying to hide them.
"I'm going to go make us lunch," Catherine said pointing over her shoulder before a small frown came over her face. "I did bring us something, but since Embry and Quil are here I don't have enough."
She felt slightly bad for not bringing enough for everyone, it was a bunny instinct in her to take care of everyone around her.
"Are you sure Bunny," Jacob asked as he looked over at her, he felt kinda bad making her cook for all of them.Β "we could just order a pizza?"
"Yeah, Bun-bun it's really no problem." Quil said causally giving the girl a nickname as he roughly nudged passed Jacob, causing the boy to bump into one of the wooden beams.
Although after hearing, Quil uses his nickname for Catherine, Jacob was quick to right himself as he put his hand on Quil's shoulder and pulled him away from her.
"Hold on, only I get to call her bunny." Jacob said as he glared down at his friend, who only looked at him with an innocent expression.
"Which is why I called her Bun-Bun."Β Quil spoke poking Jacob's chest twice with a smirk on his face, he felt it was right after Jacob brought up the prom situation.
"That's the same thing." Jacob said shaking his head out of outrage with his face scrunched up, whilst throwing his hands in the air.
"Embry, is that the same thing?" Quil asked as he turned towards Embry, just as they had done a little while before.
"Nope, I don't think so," Embry said shaking his head with his hands in his pocket, before turning towards Bella. "Bella?"
Looking up from her silent laughter, Bella was quick to realize that she had been brought into the conversation causing her to shrug her shoulders.
"Well technically," Bella joked with a slight wince as she folded her arms, attempting to play along with the joke. "and I really mean technically, it's not."
"Bella and I thought we were friends," Jacob said with a shocked look on his face, holding his hand to his chest. "you're supposed to be on my side."
"Sorry, grammar's grammar." Bella said shrugging her shoulders again, letting out a few strings of giggles along with the other three people in the room minus Jake.
"Oh, so you're the grammar police now?" Jacob asked his voice getting a tad bit louder as he continued to joke, which you could tell by the small smile threatening to breach his face.
"Can I just go make us lunch?" Catherine asked bringing the attention back to her, her words coming out in only belly full laughs as she clutched her tummy.
"I don't know," Jacob said with a pout on his face as he refused to look over at anyone else other than Catherine. "I don't think I want to be alone with these traitors anymore."
"I'll be back soon," Catherine laughed jokingly rolling her eyes at the boy, before twisting where she stood out of habit. "it shouldn't take me very long to cook, plus I wanna speak to Billy, haven't seen him since yesterday."
"He should be in," Quil spoke up from behind Jacob, the boy physically stepping on his tip-toes to look over Jacob's shoulder. "he was planning on heading over to my place to speak with my Dad."
"Thanks, I better go catch him." Catherine said nodding her head before turning back towards the garage door, heading straight for the Black Household.
