Chapter 7: Absolutely Positive
A/N: Sorry it's so short. I thought I'd give a little cliffhanger. Review please!

A few days later, I walked inside my small house and went straight to the kitchen, downing a glass of water. The pack and I just went on a patrol to see if there were any vampires around. There weren't any, but it was an exhausting day, nonetheless. I refilled my glass, but this time, I drank it slowly, cherishing the cool liquid easing down my throat. I jumped when the phone rang, causing me to choke a little.
"Hello?" I answered when I was able to breathe.
"Jacob, I know. Can I come over? Please," Bella begged.
"Yes, of course. Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No, I'm already on my way." I could hear the smile in her voice. "Charlie got me a cell phone yesterday."
I chuckled, despite the conversation we were about to have when she got here. "Okay. I'll see you soon."
I hung up, and about five minutes later, I heard her truck pulling into my driveway, or what we had of one anyway. I ran outside and embraced her, never wanting to let go.
"Jacob," she sighed. "Jake, I'm so sorry. I missed you so much."
"I missed you, too. At least now you know why I couldn't tell you." I closed my eyes and breathed in her strawberry shampoo's scent.
"Let's go inside. It's still a little chilly, even though you're oddly warm." I nodded, internally chuckling, and we went to my room, both of us sitting on my bed.
"So, Jakey…When did you become a werewolf?" she asked, as calm as ever.
"About four months after I kissed you the first time." I looked down and took her hand in mine.
She then proceeded to ask questions about what it was like and such, allowing me to explain the everyday life of a teenage werewolf.
"I shouldn't have left," she muttered to herself, after I told her everything.
"Then, why did you?"
"Because I was afraid. I was afraid that if I let myself feel anything, that I'd lose you, too. But I know, now, and I'm absolutely positive…"
"Absolutely positive that…?"
"That I love you, Jacob Black."
A smile plastered itself on my face. "Bells…Bella, I love you, too."
She grinned, throwing her arms around my neck and holding me close. "Don't let go," she whispered into my neck.
"I won't, Bella. Not ever." As long as I was alive, I wouldn't let go.
She pulled away, gazing into my eyes as I returned the favor, and placed her lips gently on mine. We kissed each other for the longest time in the sweetest way until she tugged on the hem of my shirt.
I smiled against her lips and mumbled, "Do you really want to do that?"
She ran her hands through my short locks and nodded. "Why wouldn't I want to with someone as handsome as you?"
I mocked horror, replying, "So, you just want me for my body? Love has nothing to do with it?"
She laughed and said, "Oh, silly boy. It has everything to do with it."
Our mouths connected again, and I laid her back on my bed. I hovered over her petite frame, and she began pulling at my shirt again. I chuckled, taking it off and throwing it on the floor. She ran her pale hands over my russet-colored chest and smiled, placing little pecks all over me. I leaned down and kissed her soft lips, unbuttoning her blouse. She, too, tossed it on the ground, wrapping her arms around my neck once again, pulling my mouth to hers. I removed her jeans and my own, leaving us both only in underwear.
"I love you, Jake," she grinned, her chocolate orbs staring into my dark pools.
"I love you even more…" I gave her a soft peck on each cheek, moving my arms beneath her to unsnap her bra, but before I could, her phone rang.
"Leave it," I mumbled into her skin.
"It might be Charlie," she replied, reaching for the small cell. "Hmm…It's an unknown caller."
"Just answer it, Bella," I sighed, rolling off and knowing that she was the curious type.
"Hello?" she said. There was a pause. "Wh-what? That's impossible." Another pause. "You're where?!" Pause. "Fine. I'll be right there." She hung up.
"Who was that?" I questioned. Tears were falling down her flushed cheeks as she shook her head. "Bella, tell me."
She swallowed. "Edward."
