Jacob's POV
"I'll see you later tonight. Bye baby" I said and hung up the phone and threw it onto the sofa next to me.
"Did Frankie say anything about me?" Seth asked appearing from nowhere.
"I wasn't talking to Frankie. That was Ness"
"I know, I know. I meant did Ness say if Frankie mentioned me?"
"When did you turn into a fourteen year old girl Seth?" I laughed. He has been like this for the past two days, pretty much since the five of us went out. The night I thought I might have lost Ness thanks to Ashley, luckily Ness believed me about everything.
"It was just a question" Seth mumbled and stalked back out of the room. I rolled my eyes and followed after him, I knocked on his bedroom door "If you're just going to make fun of me then you can piss off"
I tried not to laugh, despite the fact that Seth was 23 he still acted like a 15 year old. It was pretty comical "I'm not going to make fun of you" I promised him, he mumbled a "come in" and I opened the door "Hey, look I didn't mean to upset you dude"
"Whatever. I should be used to it right. After all Leah is the Beta and Embry is your best friend, and what am I? Just little Seth Clearwater"
"Hey, you don't really think that do you?" I asked and he shrugged his shoulders "You're as much my best friend as Embry is. Don't ever think you're anything less"
"Yeah, okay" he mumbled "Are you sure Frankie didn't say anything about me?" he asked with hope in his eyes. It was clear that Seth hadn't imprinted on Frankie but it was clear that he had a crush on her.
"Ness might have mentioned that Frankie found you sweet"
"Really?" he asked, his face suddenly lighting up "Did she say anything else? Did she like the flowers I sent her?"
"You sent flowers?"
"Well I didn't put my name on the card but yeah I sent her flowers"
"Why would you send anonymous flowers? Don't you want her to know that you like her?"
He sighed "I didn't think about that"
This was typical Seth behaviour. Sure he might be the youngest and sometimes he could be immature but mostly he was one of the most caring kids ever. He liked to make people happy but he didn't realise that people were happy around him because he was the easiest guy to be around. Seth was just Seth. Loyal, caring and fun.
"Why don't you come with me to pick up Ness later? Frankie is probably saying in for the night, why don't you keep her company when Ness and I are out?" I suggested.
He nodded eagerly "That sounds great. I'll pick her up a pizza or something; do you think we could pick up a pizza before we get there?"
"Sure, sure" I laughed.
I hated the daytime shift at work, apart from the usual drunks there were hardly any customers here. If I had to work I would rather be busy then having nothing to do for hours upon end. My shift would be ending in 2 hours, so I didn't have long left.
"Why the long face? Girl trouble?" a voice asked and I smiled as I turned round to face her. Leah.
"Where the hell have you been stranger? We hardly see you anymore" Sure Leah lived with us but from the occasional mumbling of hello we very rarely saw her. It was something that was very unusual for Leah. Sure, she wasn't exactly the most sociable of people but she was hardly ever home.
"Shock. I actually have a life outside you three" she mocked as she rolled her eyes "What's the matter Black? Your girl not cutting it?"
"Watch it" I warned her. Every pack member knew to not antagonize another member about their imprint, which was the one thing you didn't do "What are you doing here anyway?"
"Why else do you come to a bar?" she shrugged. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a beer and slid it over to her "Thanks" she smiled stiffly and took a sip then started "I met someone" she mumbled then looked up at me.
"That's great" I smiled back "We did wonder if a guy was monopolizing your time"
"Monopolizing? Why this girl sure is enhancing your vocabulary" she teased.
"So who is he?" I asked.
"Just some guy I met at work" Leah worked at a Sporting Clothes store. It wasn't exactly her dream job but it gave her an opportunity to demonstrate how the kick boxing gloves work on unsuspecting customers.
"That's great. You haven't imprinted though right?"
"No" she scoffed "And I don't intend to. Why would I possibly want to look as lame as you with the whole goo goo eyes thing. I'm strictly a make my own mind up kind of girl. You should know that" Oh boy didn't we all know that "Truth is I thought you would be a little uncomfortable by this revelation"
"And why would I be?" I asked.
"I met him a few months ago" she answered.
I finally caught on "Leah, that was months ago. I thought we'd moved on from that? Besides I'm with Ness now so it's no big deal"
"No big deal, right" she laughed "Then again you fucked girls all the time, why would I be any different?"
"Leah that's not fair"
"Whatever. I don't want to get into it with you again Jacob" she sighed. One of my weaker moments happened about 6 months ago. I had spent a good amount of my pay check at the bar after work; there was nobody for me to go home with. So I went home alone. The apartment wasn't empty though, Leah was home. One thing led to another and I woke up in her bed, ashamed and a little hung-over, I snuck out of her room and we never really spoke about it. That was until we ended up making it a regular occurrence for at least a month until we both came to our senses and stopped. Neither Embry nor Seth knew.
"Then why bring it up?" I shot back.
"I just….never mind" she said shaking her head.
"No, what? Tell me"
"I thought that maybe you would have cared. I thought that maybe you might have been a little jealous. I guess not"
"Is that why you're with this guy? To make me jealous?" I asked "Leah, I've imprinted. All I care about is her" That didn't come out the way I wanted it to "I mean that, of course I care about you just like I care about Seth and Embry but I care about you the right way Leah. All that shit that happened months ago, it doesn't matter"
"Forget I said anything"
"Leah, I thought you'd gotten over it" I whispered "I thought you'd gotten over me" I wasn't an idiot; I knew Leah had feelings for me. She always said she just wanted out of Sam's pack but after a few years I understood that her feelings grew into something else. Of course she never said anything and neither did I but I knew.
She scoffed "You sure do love yourself huh? You're not God Jacob, not every girl falls at your feet. You were just something to pass the time. That's all" And Leah was back "I've met someone else, someone I actually care about" Ouch.
"Are you done? Because I need to get back to work"
"Yeah" she nodded "I'm done" she whispered and left the bar.
"You seem distracted" Ness observed as she squeezed my hand.
"Sorry" I sighed shaking my head. I had been distracted ever since my conversation with Leah earlier on in the day. I was frustrated because she never ever revealed her true feelings, and since we all moved to New York we haven't all phased at the same time. Hence the reason Embry and Seth hadn't found out about myself and Leah. I never know what's going on in her head.
"If you don't want to see the movie its fine. We can go and do something else" We were currently standing in line waiting to see some chick flick, I wanted to see it because Ness wanted to see it.
Smiling, I moved behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist "And give up the opportunity of making out with you in the dark?" I whispered in her ear "I don't think so"
She giggled "I actually planned on watching the movie" she teased and leant her head against my chest.
"You just want to perv over that Efron dude"
"That too" she laughed.
"So that's the kind of guy you go for huh? Pretty guys?"
She leaned her head up "You're the kind of guy I go for" she whispered. I smiled and bent down to kiss her nose.
"Well that's good because you're the kind of girl I go for"
To say the movie sucked would be an understatement, however it was made a lot better by the fact that Ness was giggling throughout the entire movie. That made it an interesting experience for me, seeing her happy. I couldn't tell you what the movie was about as I spent the majority of the time watching her but from what I did see, it sucked.
"What a great movie" Ness gushed as he linked her arm with mine as we walked towards my car "I mean Zac Efron was just amazing"
"Amazing? Yeah, he was" I said sarcastically.
"I didn't expect you to like it Jacob" she laughed "But you get gold stars for coming with me"
"Gold stars huh? And do I get to redeem something from these gold stars?" I smirked.
"Maybe. You'll just have to wait and see"
"Tease"
"You love it"
I rolled my eyes "Anyway, what's the plan? Are you hungry? Want to grab something to eat?"
"We could order room service. My treat" she suggested.
"Yeah but Frankie and Seth are there"
"And?" she asked "Are you expecting to get lucky Black?" she feigned innocence "I'm not that kind of girl. It will take a lot more then a movie to get into my panties"
I stopped walking "Ooo say panties again" I growled playfully and yanked her towards me so she was pressed up against my chest.
"Panties" she smiled and I bit my lip and groaned "Pan-ties" she said slowly in a whisper.
"Oh baby, you know how to make a man blush"
"Oh really?" she smiled then took a look around us "So what about if I did this?" she whispered and grabbed me through my jeans, making me jump "Does this make you blush?"
"You have two seconds to let go before I take you right here right now" I warned.
"Take me where?" she laughed and started moving her hand in circle against my crotch. Where the hell has this Ness been? What happened to my sweet innocent little Ness? I put my hand on hers to stop her movements and she pouted "You're no fun" I took her hand from my crotch and held it in my hand.
"I'm hungry, lets go" I smiled.
"Kay" she mumbled.
After the movies we went back to the Plaza and back up to her hotel room. When we got inside Frankie and Seth were no where to be seen.
"I guess they went out" Ness spoke as she took of her jacket "The menu is on the desk, choose anything you want. I'm just going to get changed" She left the room and I grabbed the menu from the desk.
It was full of all the fancy foods I expected from the Plaza so I bypassed all of that and settled on a hamburger "Ness what are you having?" I shouted.
"Erm I'll have the same as you" she shouted back. I picked up the phone and dialled down to reception. I ordered our food and they charged it to the room, I felt a little bad about not paying for it but Ness offered and she can be very stubborn. She returned back into the room, after I'd put down the phone, wearing a pair of sweats and an oversized t-shirt. Could that belong to an ex boyfriend? Maybe I should give her some of my t-shirts, not to be possessive or anything "It's my Uncles" she laughed.
"What? What is?"
"The t-shirt. Its my Uncles so you don't need to have a man fit over it"
"I wasn't having a man fit" I grumbled.
"Uh huh" she smiled as she climbed onto my lap, straddling me and placed her hands on my shoulders "You're cute when you're jealous"
I scoffed and put my hands on her hips "I'm not jealous" I was jealous. But being a man you never really admitted these sort of things.
"Then why are you pouting?"
"I'm not pouting"
"Jake" she laughed and leaned forward and kissed me. Her hands moved from my shoulders and ended up in my hair. She had a thing with my hair, whenever we kissed she liked to grab my hair and twirl it around her fingers. It was a huge turn on. My hands slid down to her thighs and I started kneading them. Her lips moved off of mine and trailed down and she started kissing my neck then up to my to just below my ear.
"Ness you have no idea what you do to me" I panted.
"I think I do" she whispered and shifted on my lap, acknowledging the fact that I was in fact hard. She took my earlobe in between her teeth and tugged. I hissed but it was in pleasure not pain, she did it again. I could feel my dick straining to get out of my pants but a knock on the door prevented me from freeing him.
"That's the food"
"I'll get it" she said climbing off my lap "We wouldn't want to scare off the hotel staff" she giggled and went over to the door and ushered the room service people in. I grabbed a cushion and put it over my lap discreetly "It smells so good" I heard Ness say "Thank you" she said and handed them a top "Jake these burgers smell so good"
"Then bring them over here woman" I said gesturing her over and she handed me my plate.
The burgers were pretty awesome, then again what do you expect from a 5 Star hotel like the Plaza. I finished mine in record time and scoffed down the fries as well. I'm definitely eating here again, on my dime though.
"You want to finish mine?" Ness offered and held out her plate. She'd eaten half the burger and only a few fries. I hope she wasn't getting sick or something. Ness wasn't one of those girls who counted calories. She ate properly and sometimes even rivalled me.
"Are you feeling alright?" I asked her and she nodded. I took the plate from her and started eating "What's the plan after I finish this?"
"Snuggling on the sofa and watch TV?"
"Sounds good to me" I winked.
It had gone 11pm and neither Frankie or Seth made an appearance in the room. I asked Ness about it but she didn't seem worried so I guess I shouldn't be worried.
"Her and Seth probably hit a club or something then gone back to yours"
"I don't think so. Seth isn't that kind of guy"
"I didn't say they went back to yours and had sex. I just meant that maybe they've gone there to hang out. And to you know give us a little privacy"
I smirked "Privacy. Hmm I like the sound of that Miss Hale" I bent down to kiss her when a classical piece of music interrupted us "What is that?" I asked.
"It's my cell phone. I'll be right back" she said moving off of the sofa. That was her ringtone? Then again she was studying music so I guess it made sense. A few minutes later she came back into the room. She was frowning.
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah" she said but shook her head "Families" she muttered.
"Was that your parents?"
"Yeah my Dad"
"And he was calling at this time?" Ness told me her parents were quite protective, but phoning her at this time of night? That was just strange.
"I told my Aunt something a few days ago and I told her not to tell my Dad but I guess she told him. He can be so weird about stuff sometimes" Huh? "Never mind, its all fine. I don't want to talk about my family. Right now I want to make out with this really hot, gorgeous guy sitting in front of me" She eyed me up.
"Well then bring your butt over here" I smiled and she did just that, she resumed her position from before when we were interrupted by room service, and pressed her lips to mine. It never took long for the kiss to turn into something more heated. Before I knew it she was laying underneath me on the couch, with her leg hitched over my hip. I wrapped my hand around her knee, securing her leg in that position.
"Do you want to stay the night?" she breathed against my lips.
"I have to be up really early for work tomorrow" I replied.
"But the bar doesn't open until 11am"
"Mick asked me to come in a bit earlier to help with something" In other words, it was the time of month where Mick decided to completely clean the entire bar, so it was pretty much all hands on deck.
"Oh, okay" she nodded "It's getting late. Perhaps we should call it a night" Just like that? It was only a few minutes past 11.
"Ness don't be like that" I groaned.
"Be like what? You said so yourself, you have to be up early tomorrow. You may as well go home and get some beauty sleep" she smiled.
"You're saying I need beauty sleep? Am I not pretty?" I pouted.
She laughed "You're amazingly pretty"
I climbed off of her and sat down at the edge of the sofa "Is this because I won't stay the night?"
She sat up "Don't be stupid. I'm not that petty. Its just, why start something we can't finish?" By the look on her face it seemed as if she wasn't just talking about tonight "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is there something else that you want to say?"
"Like what?" she shrugged.
"I don't know. Are you having second thoughts?" Please say no. I couldn't even imagine life without her now. The imprint was a powerful thing.
"Second thoughts about what?" she aksed. You know what.
"Second thoughts about us?" If she did I doubt I could survive.
"Of course not. Why would you ask me that?"
I narrowed my eyes slightly "I don't know. Just forget I said anything. I should go" I said standing up.
"I'll see you out" she sighed and stood up from the sofa as well.
She walked me to the door and waited as I put my shoes and jacket back on "Ness if you're having second thoughts about us then I need you to tell me" I blurted out.
"Jake, please don't do this" she begged.
"I need to know Ness"
She folded her arms across her chest "I'm just scared"
"Of what?"
"I'm only here for another week. Then I go back to my life and you go back to yours and I don't know if-" she trailed off.
I grabbed her arms in my hands and bent down to look at her "Ness, what are you trying to tell me?"
"I don't want to leave you" she whispered "And I know that sounds really messed up because we've only known each other for a few weeks but I just feel like in the weeks we've gotten so close" She has no idea how close "And I don't think I can leave New York without you"
Tell her. Tell her the truth.
"Please say something" she pleaded "Jake, please"
I shook my head "Ness I don't want you to leave either. I don't think I could stomach watching you walk away from me" she relaxed beneath my touch "But you can't stay here, you have to go to college. You have to make something of yourself"
"But I can't-" I put a finger over her mouth.
"I'll come with you" Her eyes widened "I'll come with you Ness"
Authors Note: - All together now "awww" Now I bet you are all a little freaked by the whole Jacob and Leah thing huh? More of that will be explained, I promise. As for those of you who cannot wait for Jake and Ness to find out who each are, then you only have to wait a few more chapters. I'm such a tease.
