Chapter One- don't bet on it
Jacob's POV:
"hey guys. how's it goin'? did patrol go well or is there anything I should know about?," I said As I entered into the kitchen of my house and I found Paul, Quil, Embry, and Jared sitting on my couch and chairs in the living room and eating my food and waching my T.V.(which had football on). Technically I was really mad about having Paul in the house as he basically stuffed his face in the chip bag but I couldn't really help it because of Rachel, But I liked having Quil and the others in my house. though it was a bit akward having pop up at my house at any time and to find them sitting around my house doing whatever they want.
"Yeah Jake, patrol went well. nothing prowling around in the forest except for us giant wolves," Paul said as he grabbed the remote from Embry and chuckled as if he was making an a hilarious joke. Embry growled and snatched the remote back from Paul but I just rolled my eyes at them and plopped myself on a chair and reached for the bag of chips and grabbed a handful of them before Paul ate them all.
"y'know not to be rude to you guys.. but why the heck are you all here at my house? I mean seriously c'mon I'm sure you guys have food at your house and if not... why aren't you at Sue's? have you even tried her omlet in the morning yet? it is the best!" I said and looked around at them giving them a half confused, half amused glance. Then I saw them all exchange an uneasy glance at one another and then Embry turned off the T.V. and Paul put the chips down while Collin started making these funny noises, then they all turned around to look at me.
"Wow," I said. "This must be really serious. Paul actually put down the chips!" I said and let out a small chuckle trying to joke around to lighten up the mood but they didn't even smile. This must be serious. really serious.
"Look jake, we have a bit of a problem. that's we are kinda all here in the first place," Quil started.
"And that problem might have to be with a person we know," Paul said slowly as he messed with his fingers from nerves.
"but we don't want to tell that person or we're afraid we might get hurt in the process," Said Embry and Collin nodded in agreement as he bobbed his head up and down frantically.
"Wait... so do you guys have a problem with...me? I mean, I know I can be harsh at some points but hey I'm the alpha!" I said a bit offended by what they said but they just shook there heads and gave small smiles to me.
" No jake it's not you," Quil said. "It's not you at all. it's Leah. Leah is our problem."
"Leah?" I said a bit startled at what they had said. "what wrong with Leah? Is she sick?"
"No she's not sick Jacob," Paul said to me. "If she was sick we would all be throwing a party right here."
"hey," I said in the alpha voice. " don't talk about my beta like that."
"Oh I see. your beta. so when's the wedding?"
"Shut up Embry."
"Make me."
"I will if you don't shut your mouth up right now!" It was quiet for a few seconds as they all gave me looks of nervousness and I took a deep breath trying to control myself and then spoke again slowly hoping they would understand my point of view.
"Look," I started out slowly. "I will not let you talk about Leah like that. Leah is a good person once you get to know her."
"Oh and let's see here we have known leah for 3 years is it? And so far, I haven't seen here good side ever."
"Embry...!"I said threateningly.
"Shutting."
"Good," I said and continued. "You know, I know you guys are all afraid of her, but I'm pretty suprised at you Paul. You are one of the toughest guys I know and hear you are afraid of a girl?"
"Can it man," Paul said gruffly. "I bet you couldn't last twenty- four hours with her at least."
"I bet you I could. but you probably couldn't since Rachel has made you into a mommas boy ever since you imprinted on her." I said with my anger rising ever milimeter of a second. then Paul stood up so quickly her knocked over the chair he was sitting in and his chest rose up and down angrily.
"say that again..." He said to me threateningly and I stood up from my chair to face him with my eyes narrowed.
"Fine. I'll say it again. You... are ...a ... Mommas... boy," I said slowly so I could make the moment last but it didn't last for very long. Paul then drew back his hand to throw a punch at me but then Quil stepped in between us and Paul lowered his fist and I tried to calm myself down.
"Look," Quil started trying to settle things down. "If you guys are arguing over this so much why don't we make a real bet over this," he said and a sly smile grew on his face as if he was a little boy that had candy.
"Fine with me," Paul said as he didn't even take his eyes off of me.
"You know paul," I said menacingly. "If I'm not mistaken.. I would say that you are challenging an alpha."
"You bet I am."
"Then I'm in," I said and we shook on it and I turned to Quil. "So what's the bet?"
"You have to spend time with Leah for twenty- fours hours without telling her that this is all a bet. and you just don't have to spend time with her, you have to pretend to be her boyfriend."
"WHAT!" I practically yelled and Paul busted up laughing while the others chuckled with him.
"No way man! no way!" I said shaking me head. "Spending time with her is fine, but pretending to be her girlfriend is over the line!"
"You shook on it Jake."
"Well then I will unshake it!" I growled at them.
"How can you do that?"
"I don't know... I just ... Ah! fine I will do it! But what will happen if Paul loses" I said and smiling a little bit as we came to his punishment.
"Well if you can't survive with Leah for twenty- four hours and if Paul loses, he has to kiss Leah in front of Rachel and tell Leah that he loves her."
"Fine with me," I said and smiled at Paul as he grew a shocked face and his pupils dialated but then returned to normal size.
"Your on Jake," Paul said. Then, after he had said that there was a knock at the door and I rushed over to get it. when I opened the door I found myself looking at Leah.
"Hey Jake, I need Rachel for a minute. She was going to go shopping with me today." I looked at her for a minute and then I looked back a the boys and I turned back to Leah and gulped.
My twenty- four hours on pretending to be Leah's boyfriend had finally begun.
