Yay! I'm alive again! ( For now.) Disclaimer: No, I do now own Twilight or New Moon. I do however, own a chocolate bar in my kitchen! I'm happy, damn it! Anyway...

What The…?

It was half-past midnight and Edward still hadn't shown up. Okay, granted I never really gave him any specific time-frame to meet me in, but dang! How much longer would I have to wait already?! I didn't bother pacing because that only tended to make me feel more of whatever I was feeling when I did it, and I didn't really bother fidgeting much because it never really helped and it tended to get annoying after awhile. So I had just settled with staying as still as I could and as long as I could until he got here. Naturally like any nervous person in love and about to meet their partner, the classic ' What if he doesn't come?' line ran through my head a couple of times.

Okay, well, I didn't necessarily know if it was ' love' just yet. When we imprint on someone, aside from the strong pulls of emotion and bonding, we center ourselves around what we need to be for our soul mates. If he needs me to be his lover, then I will be. ( Even though I kinda love him already.) Or if he needs a brother in me or a good friend then yeah, that's what I'll become. Remember: He's the center of my universe now so that's something I can't help. But now that it's happened, what exactly will I be to him? With Bella around I can't count on being his lover.

' Hold it! Is it just me or did I make that sound like a bad thing?'

" Yes, as a matter of fact you did." I snapped my head to the side and there he was, a calm, friendly expression on his face. ' Or arrogant depending on how you look at it.' It was one of those looks that can be either or. Now, I can't read his mind so I had no idea what he was thinking. That is until-

" I was just thinking that our meeting than and now is a strange one. In all honesty, I don't know what to feel or what to think at this moment. I suppose I feel flattered that someone would think of me-and in such a caring way, but then, there are also some feelings of confusion and doubt." Damn, he was doing it again! His voice was…he sounded……Aw, hell. We've been through this before and just like last time, I couldn't and will never be able to describe his voice or what it was to me. But when he mentioned the " D" word, ( Doubt.) it sent small sparks of fear through my body. Somehow I managed to keep it together. Still…

" Yeah, I understand. I feel pretty much the same way-the confusion and doubt anyway. But why do you feel like that?"

" First of all, I am somewhat confused as to why you would imprint on me of all people. After all, we have shared feelings of animosity for quite some time through our separate lineage. Despite this, my feelings towards you are of course…not the same. I have only just met you today and so far have found no reason as to why I should not like you. There is some reasonable doubt as to whether there could be anything…serious between us because of Bella Swan and the love I share with her. Yes, I do know the effects of your imprinting as I have gathered the information from your mind, yet I do not understand why you would choose me." The whole time during his explanation he had spoken softly and gently.

That came as sort of a surprise because like he said, we weren't supposed to like each other. I'd been a little afraid that he might be mad, actually. " Yes, Jacob. I probably should have been anyway. So the calm is quite the surprise to myself as well." Edward confessed.

" Look Edward, I can't explain why I imprinted on you. I didn't really choose you…it just……happened. When this kind of thing happens to my pack members, we have absolutely no control over it. It is what it is so…yeah." Lame ending to an explanation, I know but that was the best I could come up with. " And maybe you're not mad because I imprinted on you. When it happens, there do tend to be shared feelings on some level. Since i'm supposed to be what you need……where does that put us? Or do you know? And I know, I know. " I assured, just before Edward was about to say something. " We have to think about Bella and where the consequences might take us. I've thought about that a lot, believe me."

" Well," He started, choosing his words carefully. " I think for now we should just be friends. I would like to get better acquainted with you before we really rush in to anything. It would be good for us and our families if we could start a friendship and good for the treaty." He pointed out. " And our getting along would make Bella happy." He added as an afterthought.

" Yeah, good point." Of course I wanted Bella to be happy but…I also felt…I dunno……maybe a little angst towards her. Edward was just doing this for her sake. He would humor me with my imprinting to get me off his back, then threw in that bit about this being a good opportunity for our families and treaty so I would go along with it. ( Though it was a good idea.) and earn himself more kisses from Bella for good form or something.

' Well, that's not nice. Bella loves you too, remember?' Ah, the return of Good Jacob.

' I know, I know. Edward's right: We should get to know each other but, he's only doing this for her.' I reasoned.

' But i've imprinted on Edward so that means he belongs with me. Bella's just getting in the way.' Hello, Bad Jacob.

' Not Exactly. I imprinted on Edward but it's just a one-way thing. Edward's free to love whoever he wants. It doesn't have to be me. As long as he's happy and no one gets hurt, it's all good, right?' Good Jacob asked.

' Uh, NO! One way or another, Bella's going to find out about this ( Most likely from me because I don't like keeping things from her. Or it's possible that Edward will tell, most likely for the same reason.) and she's going to want Edward to choose! He'll automatically go to her and hurt you in the act. He knows it and that's why he's trying to sort it all out right now so that it works in their favor and keeps you relatively happy.' Bad Jacob accused.

' Oh, come on! He can't be that underhanded. And since when is this Bella's fault?' I mentally asked.

" It never was Jacob." Oh, man. His voice had a cold edge to it now and his eyes seemed to smolder as he gazed at me, clearly upset over my internal debate. It sent my heart beating a little faster. From regret yeah but, well… ' He's one of those people who look more beautiful when they're mad.'

" Then I must be absolutely breathtaking right now. How could you think so low of me? Of Bella? Are you really that selfish, Jacob Black?" He demanded.

" If I were, then I wouldn't give a damn about what you wanted or about Bella's feelings and make you mine now." Inwardly, I groaned at myself in frustration. I didn't really mean for it to come out that way but……Aw, i'm no good with words. ' Great, now he's probably going to attack me or something.' Said person tilted his head thoughtfully, then smirked.

" Really now? And how exactly would you go about doing that?" He asked slyly. Now that my heart sounded like bongo drums, I sorted out my options: Try and pull a move and get killed, come back with a smart-ass remark and get killed, or let him intimidate me and get my pride killed. Edward walked over to me, arms crossed and smirk still in place and stopped when we were only about two feet away from each other. " Decisions, decisions." He mused. ' Okay, he's toying with me. He's gotta be toying with me. This is probably his sick idea of revenge to call me out like that.'

' Then call his bluff and get back at him.' Bad Jacob suggested. We were so close, and the sly sound of his voice had a huge impact on my……lust, I guess(?) So I was feeling very inclined to listen to Bad Jacob right now. Without another thought I let sheer instinct take over me and grabbed him by the shoulders firmly, closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his. Edward stood absolutely still as I kissed him, in shock I guess. Hell, Iwas shocked! I couldn't stop kissing him!

His lips tasted sweet, with a strange metallic flavor mixed with the taste of sweetness. I was probably tasting blood.( Vampire eating habits.) And yeah his lips were ice cold, but it was still so addicting. ' Why isn't he killing me yet?' Even in my head I sounded like a little boy caught doing something he shouldn't and waiting for the inevitable punishment. That's when Edward decided to shock me again, as if my first action hadn't done the job well enough.

He put his hands on my waist and began moving his lips with mine, leaning in to the kiss. ' WHAT?!' All the brain cells left in my head yelled at me to stop and apologize and remember Bella, but I was feeling rebellious. Besides I was enjoying myself. However after a few seconds had gone by ( Maybe twenty-three.) I needed to breathe. Edward sensed this and pulled back, forcing me to come back to reality too as I opened my eyes and stared shocked down in to his. " And now I have called your bluff, Jacob." He stated smugly. " And yes…I'll admit I actually enjoyed that kiss."

" Uh…you're welcome." Hey, that was one heck of a kiss and I was still dazed, okay?

" So, since we've gotten ourselves on such good terms with each other, let's meet again. How about tomorrow night, same time?" He suggested. Even after what just happened, he sounded like he was just talking about the weather.

" Yeah, okay." Edward looked at me calmly, like he was expecting something to happen. ' What?' He smirked again-and I don't know if he was teasing me or what, but he leaned up to my ear ( Standing on his toes because I'm so damn tall.) and rested his smooth, cold cheek on my neck, sending shivers down my spine. " Jacob," He whispered, his breath tickling my neck an ear. " you can let go of me now." I instantly let go of his shoulders and backed up as his hands slid off my waist.

" Oh! Uh, sorry, Edward." He just laughed and shook his head. " I have to be going now. Twelve-thirty tomorrow night, here. Don't be late." I just rolled my eyes. He was acting like I had kept him waiting.

" Sure, sure." I said. Then he turned around and ran off, practically vanishing on the spot. ' Okay, now WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! Was he testing me or teasing me? One second he'd been mad and then…I don't know what. What happened to " I would like to get better acquainted with you before we really rush in to anything" huh? Okay, so I kinda started it but… but so did he!'

It was just too complicated to think about right now. ' Hell, i'll just ask him tomorrow. It'll give us something to talk about.' I didn't change in to my wolf form as I began hiking through the woods because I didn't want the others knowing what had happened just yet, so I decided to walk home and sleep again. Just because there was nothing else to do and I was mentally exhausted.

So...that's that. I wanted something kinda big to happen in this chapter so I decided to give them their first kiss. How was it? Please R&R or else i'll send my demon cat to you to devour your soul so you can be reborn as a flower!
