First off: Sorry if any of the 'mutts' are acting out of character. This is the first time I include wolfboy- er, I mean Jacob, so I'm not sure how he usually acts like when he isn't his obnoxious self. Also, the time frame for this is during New Moon, about a few weeks after Bella found about about Jacob's 'secret'.
Disclaimer: Again, I don't own anything. Nothing. Nada.
Oh, and before you start reading, I just want you to know that this is the first fanfiction I look foward to completing. Yay me!
Because of some funky thing that happened to my computer, the original version of Jacob, I Have A Question went poof. There went all the reviews and hits, to my disappointment.
I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to ask Jacob my question as we drove to the movie theater, Quil and Embry in the backseat. I had my window rolled down, letting the wind whip my face. Jake kept glancing at me, as if he were afraid I might fall out the window. Actually, I wouldn't really be surprised if I did fall. However, there were three werewolves here to come to the rescue if that ever does happen.
"Jake, what movie are we going to watch?"
"Quil, that's the third time you've asked me, and, for the third time, I don't know. We'll see when we get there." Jacob growled, clearly irritated. I heard Embry snicker behind me, followed by a low thud.
"Well, do you know of any movies?" Quil persisted.
"I heard that romantic comedy just came out." Embry chimed in. I instinctively winced slighty at the word "romanctic". In the corner of my eye I noticed Jake quickly glance uncertainly at me. I moved my gaze to the passing trees outside. I hadn't fully recovered from the incident, and, quite frankly, I don't think I ever will. And Jacob knew this, yet he tried to keep me happy and forget. My personal sun, always looking out for me.
"Anyone here have money?" He suggested, attempting to change the subject. And it worked.
"Crap…" I heard Quil mutter. I couldn't help but smile when Jacob groaned.
"And how do you think we are going to get into the theater?"
"I thought you were going to pay." Embry looked over at Jacob.
"No, I said I was going to pay for the gas." He growled, tapping the steering wheel. I rolled my eyes, digging into my purse.
"I got money, don't worry." I briefly waved my wallet in the air, before opening it.
"Wait, nevermind." I sighed, looking down at my empty wallet. I heard Jacob chuckle beside me.
"Good, because I wasn't going to let you pay, anyway." He glanced over at me, smiling. We were now parked in the theater's parking lot, and Embry had pulled out his own wallet.
"Fine, I'll pay."
We were now standing in line for popcorn and drinks, the theater unusually empty.
"I don't know why I agreed to come here. There aren't any decent movies playing!" Quil exclaimed, looking around. Jacob stood beside me, muttering something under his breath about how slow the cashier was.
Finally, we were in the front of the line, Jake ordering two jumbo popcorns. I was still in awe over how much food teenage werewolves consume.
"Jake…are you going to eat both of those?" I asked, motioning to the two popcorn cardboard bowls the cashier placed on the counter.
"What? Of course not. One is for Quil and Embry, and the other is for us." He smiled, looking down at me as Embry handed the cashier a twenty dollar bill. He grabbed the bowls and handed on to Jacob. I glanced into one of the bowls and noticed it was drenched in butter. Hopefully that one wasn't the one I would be eating from. I have nothing against butter on popcorn, but too much usually ruins the entire popcorn-eating experience.
"I don't see why I have to share with Quil…" Embry whined, bringing a smile to my lips.
"Because he wants to share one with Bella!" Quil exclaimed, appearing beside Embry with a grin. I heard Jacob groan beside me. I blushed and looked away. Well, there went my smile.
At the end, we choose the action/adventure movie that just came out. When we walked into the theater door, I glanced at my watch. We still had thirty minutes left. Maybe I might be able to ask Jacob my question, after all…
"Bella, where do you want to sit?" Jacob asked, looking down at me.
"Oh, wherever you guys want to." I glanced at the other two, who were already halfway up the theater. Jacob followed my gaze and rolled his eyes.
"We don't have to sit with them, you know."
I knew what he was thinking, and I avoided his statement.
"I heard this movie is supposed to have a lot of stuff blowing up." I started to slowly walk up to where Quil and Embry were sitting, trying not to fall flat on my face. I quickly glanced nervously at Jacob to see if he was offended by my changing of the subject, but, instead, his eyes lit up and a grin stretched across his face.
"That's what I read in the newspaper."
I smiled and rolled my eyes, sitting down. I still wanted to ask him my question, but it can wait till after the movie.

Also, next chapter should be up in four to five days, maybe even sooner, depending on how many hits and/or reviews I get! -winknudgewink-
