AN: Again, for the few of you who like this story. Thank you(: BTW: I LOVE cheesy romantic movies and such, hence the story might be well over cheesy at points. I grew up with the fairytales and the Telenovelas, Spanish soap operas, so I'm all for romance hehe.

**Just a reminder, in my story Leah is younger than Jacob!

"Without fear there could be no courage. Without risk there can be no change, and with no change there can be no progression."

Leah's POV;

I sat on the reefs out in the sea, my feet dangled into the water at ankle length. I was lost in my thoughts until Jacob came and sat next to me, "What are you thinking, Lee-Bear?"

"Look Jake, I just want you to know that I'm not that girl. You know? The one who'll go to bed with a guy, just like that." I snapped my fingers to emphasize my point; I had to make myself clear. "I have dignity, principles, honor, and morals; I won't put up with any of that bullshit."

He smiled at me, as if he liked it when I got a little pissed.

"And, I love that about you Leah. You're one of a kind." He kissed the top of my forehead then pressed me against his chest with a crushing hug, one that I was absolutely thrilled to received, one that I returned with the same fervor. He rested his chin on my head while he caressed my hair. It was all so surreal, thrilling, and frightening, all at the same time. I tried to center my thoughts on the present and not let them drift towards the past, or the future. I wanted to be stuck in 'right now' and enjoy the buzz of happiness; making it last as long as possible.

He let me go but his hands took mine, his fingers filled the empty spaces between my own and he looked deep into my eyes.

"My turn, I know you've suffered but … I don't want you to hide. It's cold and loveless and I won't let you be denied. Soothing, I'll make you feel pure. Trust in me, you are the one."

He seemed to have this reassurance in his voice that seemed so untainted and sincere. All this stuff was just so overwhelming; it was hard for me to give myself to another person after Sam, especially another wolf, one who was subject to imprinting. To my dismay Jake already had an imprintee, the daughter of the leech and the human, an interesting combination.

"I don't have to go in your mind to imagine how difficult it is to be with someone else. I know what you feel, I've felt it too Lee-Bear, it sucks. It does but you can't stay stuck on that… 'Sides how many guys know you like I do? You may be a sinner but, your innocence is mine."

His last sentence took me by surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Come on Leah, with how many guys have you been this open to? How many of them know the real you, the real Leah Clearwater. The one who you were, and still are inside, pre-phasing. Besides Sam but, really? I'm sure that not even with him. There are no secrets, we know anything and everything about each other, there's nothing between us."

"Yeah, except your imprintee spawn." I said with a mordant expression.

"Oh, Leah!" He said letting go of my hands in order to swing his arms in the air showing me the frustration my assumptions caused him.

"Get real Jake, we're in the 21st century, they're bound to find us sooner or later. Let me just tell you that if we do get rescued, things can't be like they are here. " I was prepared to face that. I knew that my actions and decisions here would affect me and him when we left. But, as I was going to show my devout love, I was going to let it go. Even though I wasn't so fond of the little vermin leach, she had feelings too and I couldn't stand between her and her happiness. Besides, Jacob would get over me and fall in love with her soon enough.

"Why not?" He challenged more than questioned me.

"Because that's the real world out there, not this." I said flinging some water with my foot. "The world outside isn't stopping for us; it keeps going and is going to continue once we return to it. Renesmee is part of that world; my job is part of that world, my mother and brother are part of that world." I was pretty much going off on him but it was the truth; I was going to be lucid and direct about it. As much as I loved him and he said he loved me, that love was going to be shattered by the stupid cursed form we're obligated to live in. Shit, I hated being a wolf sometimes.

"The love I have for you is also part of that world." He got me good there but I retailed with something of such equal value. "The fact you've found you 'soul mate' is also part of that world."

He sighed heavily and deeply before responding. Looks like it took him some time to conjure up his last sentence, "The world doesn't matter to me right now. You're all I care about Leah, the rest of the world can go to hell for all I'm concerned."

He left me speechless; I really had nothing better to tell him. I promised myself I wouldn't care about the future or the past, I'd just live in the present and enjoy everything. I was not living up to it so, I decided to just shut the fu*ck up for the moment.

"I want to reconcile the violence in your heart; I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask. I want to exorcise the demons from your past and I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart." He faintly whispered as he closed in for a kiss, numb I couldn't pull back or resist, not that I wanted to anyways.

His lips ever so slightly touched mine; the texture was fine and subtle with softness. He teased me and taunted me before attempting a real kiss. However I did not allow this, if there was any teasing to be done, it would be done by me. I brought my lips to whisper in his ear, "Please me, show me how it's done. Tease me— you are the one." He kissed my neck tenderly, and then our lips finally met sharing a passionate kiss that completely lifted me from my soul. There was such warmth but, such ardor at the same time. A chemical reaction of indescribable feelings swarmed both our bodies. I didn't want this to end at all, I was immensely happy. Was it selfish to wish that we were never found? Maybe but, I didn't care…

Jacob's POV;

Her lips were like fine velvet rose petals, soft and lingering on mine. Her scent and her kisses were like toxin to me, deadly and raving. Yet, I always wanted more, I could never have enough of her.

I ran my fingers through her hair as our foreheads met.

"Thank you."

"For what?" I asked by her sudden gratitude, she didn't hand that out much.

"For giving me happiness back, and for fixing my broken smile." She said as she bit her lip. Our foreheads parted and I pulled her close to me in a tight embrace.

The sun was starting to set; I have to say the timing was just right. I don't think I'd ever gain the courage to say, 'Hey Leah let's go watch the sunset.' But I think, no I know, she secretly and indirectly liked all the corny stuff. Ha, we just happened to be at the right place, at the right time. So while we were there, we watched the sky change colors from blue to pink, to violet, to purple, to black as the sun set beneath the waters.

With a random branch stick I outlined a square in the sand, "The object of the game is to push the other person out of the square." I instructed as I pointed to the shape.

"Hmm, seems simple enough. You know I'll beat you anyways no matter how hard or complex these games are." She stepped forward to be only an inch away from my face, and then pulled back.

"Ha, ha. We'll see about that." She scoffed at my response while her facial expression had that 'bring it' look to it.

We both stood within the square, I put my hands around her forearms and she put hers on mine. We deepened our stance to retain some sort of advantage. When she declared go I slightly pushed against her. When she really got into, she amazed me with her strength. When any other girl would try to push me, I could have thought it was just fly but, not Leah; I had to hand it to the girl, she had power. But, then again, I logically had more strength because of the whole 'alpha' thing I had going on for me. Slowly, I began to implicate more strength pushing her nearer and nearer to the confines of the square but, just as I was about to push her completely out she yelled. It looked like she twisted her foot. I immediately caught her after she seemed to lose her balance.

"Whoa there, you ok?" I asked her attentively.

"Crap, I think I messed up my ankle."

"Really? Here let me-", Then I fell right on my ass.

That was a sneaky move, she faked an injury to catch me off guard and push me out.

"Hey you! No fair Clearwater." I pointed my finger at her in a scolding manner.

She offered her hand to help me up, "You never said there were any rules Jakey-Poo."

She pecked my lips before she ran off.

I loved getting to know the real Leah underneath; one of the finest works of nature. She was so open and vulnerable, so playful and childish. Yet, she maintained her seriousness when it was necessary. She was so intricate; her personality had as many sides as a diamond, captivatingly enough she was as radiant and beautiful as one. She was unmatched by anyone who had ever lived or lives. Yet, she was dominated by the tuff facade she was forced to put on. But, here I could see and learn so much more about her. I could see that under that solid barrier she had set up, she was susceptible, sentimental, and charming. No one knew her this well, no one but me. It reminded me of that quote, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' And in Leah's case even if you read a couple pages you still might not get the whole story.

After my quick thoughts of appreciation towards her I got up and ran after her, I flung her over my shoulder and made my way towards the center of the island. She protested of course but, I paid no mind to her hits and complaints. The more serene quiet lagoon's silence was interrupted when I threw us both into the water.

She threw some water at me "You freakin' jerk!" and I returned the favor. It was a water fight to the extreme, water flung everywhere and I cheated a bit by tickling her. It worked to my advantage that she was extremely ticklish, if I would have known that sooner I could have made her smile more. It looked like she had given up and retreated because, she just stopped and whipped her face then just looked at me. She had that look people give you when you have something on your face but they don't want to say anything.

"Yes?"

"Oh shit, sorry." She didn't say more except give me an innocent smile followed by a sudden crushing hug. It frankly caught me off guard but I liked it. The riveting heat from both of our bodies was meekly cooled by the water around us. We were fire, the kind that gives you warmth yet has this spontaneity and thrill of peril.

But, the bad thing was that when you played with fire— you'd eventually get burned…

"Don't get cocky but, you're hot dude." Her remark made me laugh inside.

"Did Leah Clearwater just compliment me?" I asked pretending to be utterly amused.

She rolled her eyes at me before laughing, "I said don't get cocky, but yes. Yes she did and when I say hot I literally mean both ways." This time I laughed out loud and kissed the top of her head inhaling her amiable exotic scent.

"I could say the same thing about you." As we drew in closer for a fiery kiss, at a centimeter away from each other, we were interrupted by a strange sound.

"What the hell is that?" That's all I could manage to say without further "cursing" usage. We both looked up to where the noise seemed to come from: the sky, yet saw nothing but a couple of clouds. Leah got out of the water and ran towards the beach. I caught up with her shortly and saw what had made stop in her tracks.

It was a nearing helicopter.

"Looks like we get a chance to get home, Jake." She never took her eyes off the airliner; I wondered about what she was thinking. Now I wish we were wolves so that I could hear her thoughts.

We could have easily attracted the chopper's attention. We had set up a signal fire that would be lit on an occasion like this. Our plan had also included us drawing out the letters S.O.S on the shore. Of course this little plan we fabricated was thought up two days after we got here, back when we were still trying to neglect each other.

"So, we put the plan in action?" I hoped to get some more words out of her to figure out where her head was. That helicopter was a ticket back home, to real life, to my Nessie, and also to no Leah.

If I really had to choose, I think I'd stay. I knew that Edward and Bella wouldn't let a speck of dust fall on Renesmee, she'd be safe. Eventually though, the need to see her was going to nab exasperatingly at my insides. I wanted them both, in different ways of course, but both with me. I didn't want to choose right now. But, what did Leah want?

"Yeah, do it, before they leave", she evenly said then turned around and leisurely walked towards the more open part of the shore. I went in the opposite direction towards the highest peak of the island at the same pace. We're going home. I couldn't fit it into my thoughts, after being here a little over a month, we'd be returning back to actuality: to the real world. A very bittersweet moment from which I tried to decipher what end was more dominant than the other.

"Jacob?" Her beatific voice called out to me. I turned around to face her slowly. She stood under a palm tree but, what most caught my attention were her features obscured with difficulty, angst, and honesty.

"If I lay here. If I just lay here … would you lie with me and just forget the world?" I could see she was fighting back tears. My heart was vanquished, willing to surrender to her own and offer it cherishing comfort. I wanted nothing more than what she was asking me, "I need your grace— to remind me, to find my own."

I nodded my head battling with my own inner emotions and ran to her, hugging her tight, "You'd bet ya, we'll do it all. Everything on our own, we don't need anything or anyone."

I took her hand and we both lay under the shade of the tree, her head rested on my arm, our legs intertwined and we watched as the helicopter flew past us and our non-eminent world.

Leah's POV;

It had been three days since the helicopter made its appearance around here and I had a little break down, quite embarrassing. I consoled myself with the fact that Jacob felt as I did, we were both reluctant to leave our habitat and venture out into our real lives again. You could say that it was as if it never happened but, on the other hand it did. We didn't speak of it but, the things said at that moment spoke for themselves in an echo that reflected upon us presently. As I rested, floating on my back at our lagoon, I looked up at the shapes of the clouds. I was amazed that the usually blue sky had been invaded by clouds, they had been moving in for the last couple of days. I missed the gray planes, the rain, and the gloom of LaPush. This was nice but nothing compared to the dimness of home, it was beautiful.

"Hey babe." Jacob stood on a ledge taking a bite into his mango.

I stood upright and shot him a glance, "Eating already? Without me?"

He chuckled, "Well I was hungry, here's one for you." He took another bite before throwing me a mango. "How about this time I get the fruit and you get the fish."

"Hm, a little mix up. Sounds good."

"I'd bet you I can get more fruit than you, gorgeous."

"HA! You can only try, but the amazement will truly be when I catch double what you do, honey."

I took a bite into my mango then made my way to the shore to begin my hunt. I heard Jacob say something softly, "Alright, guess that means go."

I aimed and threw my spear into the water striking three fish in a row. I threw the thing pretty far so I had to swim and go get it. Just as I was about to dive, the small bird, which I had encountered the first day I was here, zoomed right in front of me breaking my concentration. I nearly slipped but retained my balance. The small bird looped and came around to me, I put my finger out inviting it to stand, which it took briefly before departing again. It was a weird little thing, striking and mysterious. It made me smile.

Brushing off that uncannily grin educing encounter, I dove into the water swimming out a couple of feet from the reefs in order to reach my catch. When I reached them, I couldn't help feeling sympathy for the kill; this is why Jacob did the fishing. Unless I had a reason to, I wasn't barbaric; the thing was that I usually had a lot of reasons to be. I pulled the spear out of the sand; it was actually harder to do than I thought which was unusual considering I had wolf enhanced strength. But, once I got it out I began to head towards land. Half way there I felt a sharp pain in my right leg, "What the f**k." The language escaped my lips because that shit hurt. I turned around and saw this monstrous shadow beneath me and a whole lot of blood floating around. I tried to pull my leg but it was caught in something. It was caught in a shark's mouth. I immediately reacted by punching it on the nose, supposedly that was supposed to make them numb. In this case it made it let go of my leg but the pain was so immense that my wolf persona took over and before I knew it. I was on 4 legs. I clawed at the shark, which I'm sure left it a mark, and then plumaged to make it to shore.

Luckily there was some cloth nearby that I had washed and put up to dry. But that thought only took one second of my time. All I could think was a blaze of curse words and angry remarks at the pain that was inflicted on my leg. That shark had been well the size of myself in wolf form and since its mouth made up a lot of that, I didn't want to imagine the size of its teeth.

Leah?

Jake, what the hell are you doing in my thoughts. I thought you'd be—shit— getting fruit.

I am, it's just easier this way.

You freakin' cheater. Ugh, son of a—

Woah what the hell's going on?

Oh fu***ng crap.

Leah!

I phased back into my human form knowing that Jacob would come looking for me soon. With intricacy I was able to pull the cloth down and cover myself up. After, I just lay on the sand hoping that the sting would go away. After a couple of seconds I was able to sit up and look at the injury. It wasn't pretty, looked like it would take about two days to heal up. It was a bloody mess but, I imagined it had been way worse before my super healing thing kicked in.

"Leah! What in the f**k happened?"

"Nothing really, just almost had my leg bitten off."

"Not funny." He came down on one knee and helped me support a vertical position.

"But how?"

I smiled at him, "Shark, but I beat the shit out of it though." Then I laughed trying to ease up the mood.

"That's it." So easily and quickly he lifted me up and carried me, "I'm definitely doing the fishing from now own. And, you can stick to the fruits; it takes too damn long to climb."

"How's the bite?", Jacob said touching the skin which had nearly been ripped off. I bent it, it felt pretty good and even the scarring was almost gone. "I think its 99% operative Sir. Alpha." I did the little commander salute thing; he was just so fun to mess with. He tickled me before standing up, that was the only thing that he could get me with and he knew how to use it.

"Come on Lee-Bear I want to show you something."

"Ooo, what?" I asked quite interested.

"It's a surprise and if I told you what it was then it wouldn't be much of a surprise, now would it?"

I thought about getting a loop hole in there, "Mm, no it'd still be a surprise. Just a ruined one."

We both laughed together, "No, no missy. I'll just tell you it's in the caves by the waterfall." He grabbed a dark piece of fabric and blindfolded me.

"Ugh! This better be good Jacob Black." I said as I blindly hugged him.

"Don't worry it will be." He swept me off my feet and made his way to his destination. I felt the wind blow in my hair; I heard his heartbeat and felt the heat from our bodies merge. I also felt the anxiousness in me to discover what he had to blindfold me for. Knowing Jacob, it's either a prank or something really special. When we finally made it, he set me on my feet; I could hear gushing water and the echoing effect it produced once it hit the ground. Very slowly he untied the cloth and took the blindfold off to reveal one of the most amazing sights ever.

Flower petals from multiple floras were all aligned into a walkway that showcased the back wall of the cave. Behind a small slanted cascade and pool of water there was an intricate handmade carving. The light from one end of the cavern reflected on the colorful fish illuminating the illustration. There were two wolves, each with stunning details, carving strokes and lines that enhanced the drawing down to the fur on their paws. They were the obvious centerpiece of the work but, the detail in the rest of the drawing was remarkable. There was the broken boat; the palm trees, the flowers, and even the helicopter depicted with point precision. I ran my fingers over the carving feeling the uneven planes.

"This is freakin' amazing Jake, how long did this take you?" I asked finally facing him.

"Well, I started three days after we got here, starting with us." Then right there he added a 'J' under the slightly larger wolf and an 'L' under the other.

"Eternally." I whispered.

" … and forever." He whispered in return. When he was finished I noticed that he not only added our initials but he added our phrase of everlasting love.

"Leah, now that we're here I would just … like to ask you something…" He looked nervous, which made me kind of nervous too. Before I could try to predict what was happening he grabbed my hand and hastily gave his plan away.

He got down on one knee before me, "Leah Clearwater— eternally and forever, I would like to pledge my love for you before our ancestors, if you would have me— will you marry me?"

He presented me a beautiful bracelet made of a wood exclusive to the island, it had oyster pearls embedded within the complex and elaborate weaves of the twigs. All of his work for me, for us. It was completely astounding.

The emotions in me surged like an unprecedented hurricane. The mixed feelings in me were continuous, but none more overpowering than the other, yet all overwhelming. How would we have a wedding here, where there was no one but us? How would things change for us here? Wouldn't the commitment and attachment make it more difficult for us when we had to leave? Would he tell everyone what had happened here? How would they react? How would his spawn react? What about their parents, my mom and his dad? Would everything ever be the same?

On the other hand, this would be a certain magical experience, a multifarious expression of our unusual and strong love. I knew that I felt something beyond supernatural for him. But, were his feelings as strong as mine? Of course right? Then why would he ask me to marry me. So many more questions puzzled me to the point where I couldn't keep track of them.

With one deep look into his eyes my questions vanished, my doubts were obliterated, and all that was left was my certainty of the love I had for him. In his eyes I also found the sincerity and truthfulness of his self proclaimed love for me.

I gulped, "Yes. Yes, I'll marry you Jacob Black." His face lit up instantaneously, the sheer bliss in our faces and our laughter was evident. I noticed that he wore a bracelet resembling the one he presented me, minus the pearls of course.

He placed my bracelet on my right arm then got up and embraced me tight before twirling me all around, 360 style. I remained in his arms even after the hug, both of us unspoken in taking the joy of our new found decision.

He broke the silence first, "I don't quite know how to say how I feel—cuz' those three words are said too much. They're not enough."

I love you.

He's right.

I love you doesn't even begin to describe the potency of our feelings towards each other.

We shared a passionate kiss, each of which was always better than the last.

"All that I am. All that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes; they're all I can see."

"You are sooo cheesy Jacob Black." He raised an eyebrow with a half open grin.

"Well,my bad."

I giggled as I experimented with his reactions, "But I never said I didn't like it."

This time he we laughed together; he kissed me on the cheek and re-enforced his embrace on me. This entity of happiness consumed me, tremendously in an unrealistic way.

"Wow," I said as he rocked me soothingly.

"What?"

"I don't know. I mean this is so surreal. This kind of stuff just doesn't exsist; I mean we don't live in a freakin' fairytale. It's like true love is endangered and soon to be extinct."

"Life's no fairytale, until you make it one. That doesn't mean it'll be easy but, it's not impossible. Just look at it this way, if you're lucky enough to experience the real deal, work on preserving it."

I thought about his words, they made sense in a drivel sort of way.

"So we're getting married huh?"

A wide smile overcame him, "Yes, yes we are."

"When?"

"As soon as possible, hmm how does this weekend sound?"

So soon? It was Thursday already, but then again what the hell did it matter really?

"That sounds perfect."

The questions and the doubts began invading me again. As my thoughts began to wander off, they returned when he took my face into his hands and kissed me with his perfect lips. Nothing else in the world mattered but us. The security he provided me with was both reassuring and comforting. Nothing beyond the compounds of our make believe land was important. I made cherishing my present an objective, so that it would be worth forever.

I was going to get my happily ever after, even if it was for a little while …

There you go(: That took me forever haha. Well I just have to tell you guys I still have in mind some sudden halts, turns, and tricks up my sleeve. I can't wait to share them with you guys but … all in due time.
