Chapter 4
The next day went much better than the first. Jacob took on his wolf form and ran through the woods again, but I didn't get a chance to see him this lunch.
After chemistry, in which Dawnafus and me were chatting and giggling most of the way through, we made our way to lunch. I almost went off to sit at the table by the window, when Dawnafus led me to another table instead.
I recognised her sister straight away. They looked so similar, with only their different shades of hair, and a few freckles separating them. There was a girl with long blonde hair and long features to match, a pretty girl with short, dark, curly hair, a guy with spiked up brown hair and another girl with black hair and blonde highlights. I recognised the last girl from my English class.
Only Dawnafus and her sister seemed happy for me to joint them at their table, but I sat down anyway and listened to their discussion about the boy that Dawnafus had her eye on. That explained the way she had dressed today. Yesterday she had been much more casual. Looking at the confident way in which Josephine dressed, and the similarity in Dawnafus's outfit today, I could only assume Josephine had had her say.
It was fascinating to me to see how real teenage girls acted around boys. I had never been on a date with my Jacob. I had just grown up knowing he was mine. There was never an exact turning point where we went from being friends to lovers. We were always kissing each other; on the cheek, on the head. Then we started kissing on the lips too.
Although the exact moment I knew I loved him more than anyone else isn't exact, I still remember our first real kiss with perfect clarity.
We had been at the beach, our usual hangout when we wanted some alone time, just strolling along hand in hand watching the sunrise. As usual, Jake was commenting on anything and everything, and I was giggling along. He never did like silence. It got far too quiet in my house sometimes, since my whole family could stay motionless for hours and not be bothered by the quiet.
When we reached the driftwood for the third time, Jacob sat down beside me and put his arm around me. We snuggled for a while, I had always loved being in his warm embrace. Then I looked up and saw him looking down at me. With a small giggle, I reached my head up and pecked him on the lips. However, for some reason, instead of pulling away again, I kept my mouth there.
He kissed me back of course. Then his mouth parted slightly, and as instinct took over, so did mine. Our tongues reached into each other's mouths and softly moved against each other. He tasted divine. Like bacon, eggs and toast mixed with sunshine and warmth.
As our mouths moulded together, our arms wrapped around each other too. Both my hands became entangled in his silky shoulder-length hair.
I was awoken from my reminiscence by Dawnafus and the girls getting their things together and leaving the cafeteria.
I had managed to keep eating and not draw any attention to myself while I had been in my own world. I smiled inwardly and made my way to class.
…
The afternoon dragged by, but soon enough I was walking out to my car. I had replayed my memory over and over again all afternoon, along with similar memories of other kisses with my Jacob. I smiled again as I saw him sitting in my car ready to leave.
He could see I was happy, and I could tell that made him happy too.
Before we reached the entrance to the hidden track that lead to my family home, I pulled the car over. Sometimes I didn't want dad to hear what we were thinking.
"Everything ok Ness?" Jake asked with confusion written plainly on his face.
"Excellent" I replied with a grin. "Want to know what I've been thinking about all afternoon?"
"I love to know what you're thinking, all the time."
I leant over, put my hand softly against his face, and replayed the scene I had thought about since lunch.
"If only I could show you what I thought about all day" he said. "Of course, if I did, your dad would probably kill me." he added with a cheeky grin.
Still holding my hand against his cheek, I showed him kissing me now. I didn't show it as a question, I showed it as a demand. I knew he'd never say no anyway. He was My Jacob, and he did whatever he could to make me happy. As luck would have it, making him happy was exactly what made me happy.
With that, he leant in and we made out for a good ten minutes before pulling apart, panting, and making our way home again.
A/N Hope I didn't put in too much mushy stuff! What do you think?
