Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: I'm SO sorry about the lack of updates! To put it lightly, real life intruded on my FanFiction-hazed world.
There will be one or two more short chapters before the end. Apologies for the short lengths- it is best- trust me. I will be updating more often now.
Enjoy!
Deceiving Me
Chapter 4
Misconceptions and Consequences.
"Bells is off to bed now leech, sorry she used up her precious time talking to me- all to a good cause though, eh?" Jacob couldn't resist the urge to gloat.
"Just what are you playing at Jake?" Edward hissed as he passed him on Bella's drive.
"You should know leech," Jacob tapped his head smirking.
"Why don't you enlighten me, seems as I obviously don't."
"I'm just playing the game- using what I have to my advantage. After all, it'll obviously take more than tolerance to win Bella from you." Even Jake was surprised at his own honesty.
"Let me get this right: you're using Bella's trusting nature to your advantage. You're determined to win Bella from me despite the fact she is happy now and you want to win her?" Though his voice was calm- almost frosty- Edward was seething at the wolf's cavalier attitude. Game indeed!
"Well wolf, there is far too many misconceptions in this- what word did you use? Oh yes, game of consequence. Time to clear them up: One- Bella is not a prize to win. Two- I will not allow you to use her good nature to your deceitful advantage. Three- If you do, I will not rest until she knows the truth."
"I don't think we understand each other bloodsucker- she'll find out soon enough, but not until the time is right. For her." Jacob seemed unfazed by Edward vitriolic tirade.
"On the contrary Jacob Black, I think we understand each other perfectly."
On this fact the werewolf was entirely correct: the truth would come out soon, but until then he had to find proof on the, er, sly. Eugh, that sounded so deceitful but it couldn't be helped. All he needed to do was bide his time and wait until he could prove his case to Bella… or…or could the wolf reveal himself to Bella? Show her that the hero he so successfully portrayed had feet of clay?
Yes, a convenient interruption during one of their more uncivilised…conversations, would do. A plan was in order.
