Happiness in Unexpected Situations

A/N: Beta'd 11/25/09 :]

Jobs and Movies

Jacob tapped his fingers against the steering wheel and sighed. He'd gone to over fifteen small shops around the greater Seattle area, and so far none of the places he'd been to were hiring. He'd been to a local Blockbuster, Grocery Outlet, Target… he'd even tried his luck at McDonalds.

No one needed extra help.

Rubbing a tired hand over his face, Jacob parked the car and looked up at the last shop that he hadn't been to yet. Getting out of the car, he smiled slightly at the sign.

Coco's Books.

He straightened his shirt and grabbed his resume, making his way into the shop, his steps faltered as he stepped inside.

It smelled wonderful.

Its scent was like a mixture of cinnamon and freshly baked gingerbread, and everywhere he looked he saw stacks upon stacks of neatly shelved books. As his eyes scanned the store, he came across a section named "Erotica." He frowned.

What…?

Curious, he made his way over to the small section and grabbed a book, flipping to a random page.

"Kyle, god, yes… keep fucking me…"

Bracing his hands on the desk in front of him, Jake arched his back higher so that he could take in more of Kyle's length.

Feeling his cheeks warm, he glanced around quickly to make sure no one was watching him. He bit his lip and kept reading.

Above him, Kyle grunted and slowly started to speed up, his hands going below to Jake's stomach to eagerly jerk him off at the same time.

"Fuck, baby, you're so tight…" Kyle moaned…

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

Jumping, Jacob immediately dropped the book and whipped around, his face flushed with embarrassment. Leaning against the bookshelf was a tall man with light brown hair and twinkling eyes, who was watching him with amusement.

"That's our latest book," he added, nodding to it. "We have three more by that same author, if you want."

The man winked at him, making Jacob flush even more.

"Oh… ah, no, I wasn't…"

Jacob picked up the book off the floor and quickly tucked it away as the other man laughed.

"You're adorable," he announced, putting out a hand. "I'm Jason, the assistant manager."

Jacob took his hand, a little awed that it seemed so small compared to Edward's and Jasper's.

"I'm Jacob. It's a pleasure to meet you," Jason gave him an appreciative once-over before reluctantly letting go.

Unnerved by his intense stare, Jacob fidgeted slightly.

"Is your boss here?" he asked, remembering the reason he'd originally came. Nodding slightly, Jason adjusted a slightly crooked book before leading him to the back of the store.

"Yes, she is. Follow me."

Jacob absorbed the aura of calm and cleanliness that seemed to radiate from the store with a soft smile. Jason glanced back over his shoulder to make sure that other man was following and smiled slightly when he caught Jake's dreamy expression. Holding up a finger as a signal for him to wait, Jason opened a door and disappeared into the backroom, emerging later with a very kind looking old lady who beamed when she saw him.

"Hello, child," she said softly, leaning her weight against the counter. "How can I help you?"

"My name is Jacob Black, and I was wondering if you were hiring more help for your establishment," Jacob said, hoping he sounded professional. He waited for her response. She chuckled lowly.

"Oh, what a sweet boy you are! How old are you? About 16?"

Jason's eyes snapped to him, eagerly waiting his response. Used to this question, Jacob pasted on a fake smile.

"I'm 20 years old, ma'am," he said politely. She placed a hand over her heart.

"I'm sorry, young man. Oh," She said suddenly, looking shocked. "I never introduced myself to you properly! Shame on me!"

"I'm Maryann Coco, and it's very nice to meet a polite young man like you."

She nodded once to herself before looking at the resume in his hands.

"Is that your resume, too? So prepared," she praised, gently easing it out of his hands. Jason rolled his eyes and grinned at him, mouthing, 'You got it.'

Ignoring the excitement he felt at those words, he feigned calm as Maryann looked over his resume.

"We aren't particularly looking for more people, but Angie," She glanced back up at him. "Our other staff member, has been a little sickly lately, and it might be better if we added another to our staff so that we had a morning, afternoon and night shift…"

She smiled as she glanced over his résumé.

"Prior work experience? Lovely!"

After she read a few more lines, she gave the paper back to him and handed him a yellow sheet along with it.

"That's our job application form; if you return this tomorrow morning at exactly nine o' one a.m., you'll have the job."

She gave him a serious look.

"Anything after or before that, the offer is gone."

After a second thought, Maryann took the yellow paper back and underlined some things from him.

"All I ask is what shift you'd rather work; mornings, afternoons, or nights. This is the pay," she pointed to a figure that made his mouth hang open slightly. $15.50 an hour?

"Are you sure, Mrs. Coco? It's just a book store position, isn't it?" he asked, a bit shocked. She waved him off.

"Please, call me just Coco. And you'll have a variety of different jobs," she added. "You'll be doing bookkeeping, register, closing, accounting, as well as re-shelving,"

She circled the positions.

"It's only fair that you get paid well for your services. You can work as many as seven hours a day; as well as ask for someone else's shift if you need the extra money."

She pointed a finger at him.

"Just know that if you do, there's only two other people working with you regularly, minus volunteers. You may have to work a double shift if you ask for theirs."

Jacob nodded solemnly. She looked thoughtful for a moment longer before handing the paper back to him.

"I think that's all. Your resume is extraordinary," she said, handing it back to him. "It gave me everything I needed to know about a potential employee, instead of only giving me one sentence with little more than your name."

Cackling lightly, she waved him away.

"Come again tomorrow with that form filled out," She called over her shoulder as she walked away. "Nine o' one, tomorrow morning. It was nice meeting you, Mr. Black."

Winking at him, she disappeared around the corner. Finally allowing his face to break out into a relieved smile, he clutched the application form to his chest. It was more than he ever hoped to get by just going door to door. He'd almost forgotten Jason was there until a hand gripped his arm.

"I don't know how you managed to get the job," he admitted, looking pleased. "We get pretty frequent customers, but not so many that we need to hire another on."

Looking back over to where Coco had gone, he shrugged.

"Coco likes you though; which is why she didn't turn you away like she does other applicants."

"It's not for sure that I have the job," Jacob said quickly. "I still have to come back tomorrow to give her the application…"

Rolling his eyes, Jason nodded his head toward the black car parked outside the shop.

"Is that your ride?" he asked. The hopeful look on his face made Jacob laugh.

"Not exactly," he admitted. Jason bit his lip.

"Did you drive it here?"

Jacob nodded. Clutching Jacob's arm almost painfully, he breathed, "Please… can I see it?"

Jacob chuckled and led Jason toward the car, talking with him about the Porsche's various skills and mechanics. After they'd stepped outside and admired the car, Jason clapped his shoulder and smiled.

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." he murmured. Jacob smiled back at him and then frowned when he caught a glance of Jason's watch.

"What time is it?" he asked, digging his keys out of his pocket. Jason checked his watch.

"About five forty-five. It's almost closing… Why?"

Jacob smiled apologetically.

"I have to go. It was nice meeting you, Jason," he added as he unlocked the car door and slid into the driver's seat. Jason waved and watched him speed off.


"Are those our movie choices?"

Edward peeked over Jasper's shoulder to take in his options.

"The Patriot, the Matrix… A Walk to Remember?" he crossed his arms. "I am not watching Nicholas Sparks."

Jasper ignored him and placed the movies on the table.

"You're going to want the Matrix," Jasper explained patiently. "And I'm in the mood for the Patriot. A Walk to Remember is the neutral choice, and Jacob hasn't voted yet."

Putting the popcorn on the table, Jasper walked into the kitchen. Edward followed, sulking.

"Why does he get to choose which movie we watch…?" he whined, slumping into the chair. Jasper bit back a smile at Edward's temper tantrum and grabbed some chocolate from the cabinet.

"If I give you this," Jasper warned. "You have to stop pouting. It's not very attractive on you."

Edward brightened. Sighing, Jasper tossed him the Hershey's bar just as the front door opened. Edward stashed the chocolate in his pocket and ran to the door. Jasper followed at a slower pace, watching the two men embrace.

"What took you so long? I missed you," Jasper heard Edward sigh dramatically. Jacob laughed and pulled away, looking guilty. "I'm sorry; I missed you guys, too. I only meant to be gone a few hours. I wanted to get home before you guys did."

Jasper waved off his apology and moved in to kiss his cheek in welcome.

"How'd your job shopping go?" he asked, helping Jacob out of his coat. Jacob beamed.

"I went to Coco's Books, and I may get a job there if I turn in their application tomorrow."

"That's wonderful," Jasper murmured with a smile, leaning in to capture Jacob's lips with his.

Jacob leaned against him eagerly, his hands reaching up to hook themselves around his neck. Jasper groaned slightly when Edward's hands groped his ass, and he attacked Jacob's neck, trailing rough love bites along the man's skin. Jasper pulled back slightly, licking his lips.

"You taste so fuckin' good, Jake," he moaned, throwing his head back in ecstasy when Edward's hands moved from Jasper's ass to slipping down the front of his pants and giving a teasing squeeze. There was a small silence as the men fought to catch their breath.

"If this is how we're going to greet each other every day," Edward said, wiggling his eyebrows. "I'm all for it."

Jasper and Jacob laughed, and Jasper grabbed Jacob's hand.

"Come on," he said softly. "We went to the movies and grabbed a few DVD's; come choose the one you like."

Edward's arm snaked around Jacob's waist.

"Do you like the Patriot, Jake?"

When Jake looked blank, he went on.

"It's a great movie; sweaty men fighting, taking of their shirts, all in close proximity…"

He winked. Jacob shook his head in amusement and looked at the three movies on the table.

"We've got The Patriot, the Matrix, and then A Walk to Remember," Jasper said, pointing to each of the DVDs on the table in turn. "You decide while I'm getting the rest of the popcorn and drinks."

Jacob eyed the movies with interest. His eyes glanced over the Patriot and Matrix without much interest, but they settled upon the soft scene that the last movie provided.

"What is this about?" Jacob asked Edward, who was moving the couches into a good position to see the flat screen. Edward glanced up.

"Er… I don't know, some chick flick that Jasper picked out," he squinted at the cover. "I know it's a book turned movie by Nicholas Sparks, and it's about these two unlikely people that… fall in love?"

He shrugged.

"I'm not sure. Read the back."

Taking his advice, Jacob had started to read the description when Jasper walked in with more popcorn along with a few bottle of water.

"Which one did you pick?"

Jacob's head snapped up as he hesitantly said, "This one?"

Jasper grinned.

"Ah, the romantic."

Jacob flushed a deep red and started to put the movie down when Jasper stopped him.

"I think that's an excellent choice," Jasper murmured, plucking the video from his hands as he put it into the DVD player. Putting the other DVDs away, Jasper started the movie and Edward turned off the lights. Sitting down at the largest corner of the couch, Edward grabbed the popcorn and tossed Jasper and Jacob a water bottle. Jasper sat down next to him and patted the space in-between them.

"Ready?"

Jacob squeezed in-between them, and Edward immediately snuggled into his side with Jasper doing the same. Leaning his head into the crook of Edward's neck, Jacob sighed pleasantly.

"Comfortable?" Jasper whispered in his ear. Jacob nodded, his eyes snapping to the movie as it started. Within minutes of the movie's opening scene, he was captivated. Edward tried to hide a yawn as he peeked over at Jasper, who was watching the movie with slightly more interest. Their eyes connected and they looked down at Jacob together, who was eagerly watching to see what would happen next.

Edward grinned slowly at Jasper, who watched him warily. Edward's hand lightly came to rest on Jacob's inner thigh.

Jacob didn't move.

Jasper watched as Edward's hand slowly started to inch his way up Jacob's thigh, stopping only when Jacob twitched slightly and glanced away from the movie to frown at Edward.

"What are you doing?" he whispered, slapping Edward's hand away. Edward smiled innocently.

"I'm sorry. I was just stretching my arm, and my hand landed there. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Jasper rolled his eyes as Jacob glanced over to him suspiciously before turning back to the movie. Edward waited until a character named "Janie" got to the part where she started to sing, and then his hand slowly started to travel up Jacob's leg again. Winking at Jasper, his hand continued its journey back up Jacob's thigh until it reached the slight bulge in Jacob's pants. Jacob froze, his eyes glazing slightly as Edward's hands slowly started to stroke him through his pants, his eyes darkening as he heard Jacob's soft cry.

"Do you like that, Jake?" he whispered huskily, pleased when Jasper leaned over to kiss Jacob, who kissed him back feverishly. Taking that as a yes, Edward impatiently tugged down Jacob's jeans, his eyes widening when he realized Jacob wore no underwear beneath.

"God, you've wanted this for a while, haven't you?" Edward murmured, pausing to watch Jasper and Jacob as they battled for dominance, Jasper's hands quickly moving to take off Jacob's shirt. Eyeing Jacob's length, Edward immediately leaned down and took him in his mouth. Jacob cried out with pleasure and bucked into Edward, his hips arching into his touch. Jasper smiled against Jacob's lips.

"Do you like what Edward's doing to you?" he purred, watching as Jacob's eyes fell into the back of his head in response. "Answer me, Jake."

When Jacob just moaned in response, Jasper lightly pinched Edward. Edward pulled away from Jacob with a loud popping sound, and the man cried out in protest.

"You didn't answer me," Jasper said teasingly. "Edward will only keep sucking your pretty cock if you answer us when we talk to you."

Edward smirked and continued to lazily stroke Jacob, who nodded quickly. Edward took him in his mouth again, and Jacob shivered with pleasure.

"Tell Edward what you want him to do," Jasper whispered in his ear, leaning down to kiss his neck. Jacob whimpered.

"I want you to keep sucking my cock, just, please…" he whispered to Edward, his hands clutching the man's hair feverishly. "And I love it when you do that thing with your… ah… tongue…"

Edward smirked and looked Jacob in the eye as he swirled his tongue around Jacob's tip and kissed it, causing him to cry out. Jacob's eyes flickered down to the bulge in Jasper's pants, his eyes uncertain.

Jasper broke.

"What do you want to do, Jake?" he growled. Jacob bit his lip, his eyes locking with Jasper's.

"Do you want to touch me?"

Jacob moaned slightly with Edward deep throated him, Jacob's cock tickling the back of Edward's throat. Jasper shuddered with pleasure when Jacob groped him through his pants and fondled him, his eyes watching with interest as Jasper's cock swelled and grew.

Suddenly, Jacob felt himself tense.

Edward sensed this and immediately picked up the pace, his head bobbing down on Jacob expertly as his hand massaged Jacob's balls at the same time.

"Edward…. J-Jazz… going to--!"

Tensing, Jacob tried to pull out of Edward's mouth but the man held fast as Jacob exploded in his mouth. Edward drank greedily, swallowing his release. Jacob's hand continued to stroke Jasper, who finally closed his eyes and stopped Jacob's movements.

"Stop," he commanded with a voice hoarse from lust, pulling Jacob to his feet. Naked from the waist down, Jake didn't waver under Edward's and Jasper's intense gazes.

"Jacob… are you ready for this?" Edward asked seriously. "Because when we get up there…"

He shook his head.

"It'll be really hard for us to stop."

Jacob smiled coyly and stepped into Edward's embrace, grinding himself against Edward's hardness with deliberate slowness. Edward hissed with pleasure.

"I want you, both," Jacob whispered, dragging Jasper down to his level. Wrapping his arms around Jasper's neck, he in turn thrust himself against him, watching Jasper's eyes hood with pleasure.

"I want to go upstairs with you," Jacob looked up at them pleadingly. "Please… make love to me?"
