ZOE BELL PART 58

I went downstairs and leaped into Mason’s arms. "I hope you know I’ve never been canoeing before!"

He laughed. "That’s okay, you’ll be riding with me."

"Then why bring two of them?"

He set me down and pulled me out the door where Abbie and Cliff were waiting. Keeping up my role, I ran to her and we hugged and giggled as we danced in a circle. I let her go and ran back to Mason. "I love you!"

He pulled me to him. "I knew you would for this!" I hugged Zane and Alex goodbye, and then I was in the front seat by Mason with Abbie and Cliff in the back seat.

The drive up through Virgin was nice, well except for the jokes Cliff had up his sleeve about the town name, but once we were on the road to Kolob, I really felt like my life was flashing before my eyes on every hair pin turn that Mason swerved around.

He was going so fast that I had to yell ‘slow down!’ more than once.

"Haven’t I demonstrated my ability to drive already?" he leaned towards me and I put my hand over his mouth. I wasn’t about to see that trick on these roads.

"You keep those eyeballs of yours on the road in front of you!" He laughed, but did what he was told. The normally thirty to forty minute drive up the mountain, took us fifteen minutes.

I hopped out of the truck when he s topped at the cabin, and I had to bend over a bush, holding my stomach. I didn’t vomit, but I sure felt queasy. Mason came over and pulled my hair up out of my face. "I’m driving home." I told him once he made sure I was okay.

He laughed. "That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day baby!"

He cradled me in his arms and carried me inside the cabin. "Do you like it?"

It was such a cute little log cabin! I had a feeling the next couple of days were going to be magic! "I love it." He set me down in the master bedroom and kissed me.

"This will be our room," he whispered. I blushed. The room was huge, with a sliding glass door that revealed beautiful scenery right in the back yard.

"I think it’s great. Now how are you going to entertain me out here in the middle of nowhere for the next two days?"

"I’ve got a few things up my sleeve. Don’t you worry darlin’."

I pulled him back outside where Abbie and Cliff were unloading the four wheelers. They were Raptor 660's, and I really wanted to ride them!

"Wanna go for a ride?" Mason put his arms around my waist from behind and I leaned my head back on his chest.

"Do I get to drive?"

He laughed. "I don’t think so. These are pretty powerful bikes. I don’t want you getting hurt."

I turned around and raised my eyebrows at him. "I’m not a girly girl, buster brown! And I’ll be happy to prove that for you."

I walked over to Abbie. "Mason doesn’t think I should drive because I might get hurt."

She burst into laughter and handed me a hot pink helmet. I put it on and hopped onto the red flamed Raptor.

"Coming?" I asked Mason.

He looked at Cliff, shrugged, then got on the back of me. Abbie handed him a helmet and I glared at him until he finally put it on.

Abbie winked at me before walking over to Cliff. She handed him a helmet and put a neon green one on her own head. They were Answer helmets, and Mason’s was bright blue, and Cliff’s was neon orange. She motioned for Cliff to move back. He shook his head, so Abbie shrugged and swung her leg around and sat on the front of the bike anyways.

"I bet they kill them on the first try!" Cliff shouted.

I started my bike and took off without any hesitation or stalling. I think Mason was a little surprised though, because as soon as I started going into high gear, he clutched my waist and held on tight. I sped down the mini mountain road that the cabin was on, then Abbie and I sped, side by side, on the main road to the reservoir.

"How did you know where the lake was?" Mason shouted over the noise of the bike.

"This isn’t my first camping trip sweetie!"

I parked the bike and shook my hair out after I pulled my helmet off.

"You are so hot Zoe."

I looked bact at him, ready to make a smart comment, but he grabbed my face and started kissing me. He was kissing me so hard that I had to pull away because the inside of my lip was bleeding. He gently kissed my bite mark and winked at me.

"Good thing only my wolf bite is dangerous." He kissed me again and then pulled me off the bike.

Do wolf bites transform you? Man! I need to get a notebook and write all my questions down! I linked arms with Abbie and we walked down to the boat dock together.
