Hide & Seek (Part 2)

Haylie Laskes's Pov

"Good morning." Noah said sneaking up on me as i sat the coffee pot down on the bar counter.

"Hey, good morning." I greeted back.

"You left out so early this morning i didn't get a chance to kiss you goodbye." He said so sweetly.

"I know, i'm so sorry. The cafe doors open so early i had to be here way before anyone else."

"Would you like any help?" He offered.

"Thank you, but Hazel, Quil and I make a perfect team. Have you spoken to the Cullens?" I asked him.

"Yes, they are still on the search for Jane and Alec. I wish i could help, In a strange way things are starting to feel as they did before."

He said and i knew he meant 16 years ago when the hybrid army was out to get everyone.

"In a odd way, i can't stop thinking about Aiden." He said and i remembered Aiden since she was create, he had only tried to reunite with her as she was his half sibling... but they never had a chance to bond before she died in the fire.

"I dreamed about her last night, her and Damon." I confessed.

Damon was a wolf part of Sam's pack years ago, Aiden had a huge crush on him.

They both are gone now and its strange thinking what they'll being doing if they were still alive.

Noah sighed. "I should get to work, but-

"Go ahead, we'll talk later. Come by on your lunch break." I said leaning up to kiss him.

He kissed me back, putting his hand in my hair.

I learned from him.

"Have a good day." He said backing away to leave.

"Thank you, you too."

*Flashback*

16 Years Ago

… …. ..

I stood on a rock, closing my eyes taking in the smell of the ocean water.

Feeling the warm breeze through my fur.

I always loved coming here, and it's always better being in my wolf-form compared to standing on two legs.

Making a pit stop before meeting Rebecca?

Embry's voice said to me.

Last i saw him he was asleep in bed.

Wow. You must be clairvoyant. I mocked him.

Maybe. That and I saw you leaving Sue's house, heading to the woods right after i shifted. He replied and that instantly reminded me that i was supposed to stop by Adam's home.

I turned from the water and took off through the trees.

Since your up, what are you planning to do? I thought to him.

Charlie Swan called me, i'm not sure what for. He didn't say, so i'm going over his house before i clock in at the garage. Embry replied and I wondered if he got any rest last night.

For some strange reason he never ever seems to sleep, it's like he suffers from insomnia.

It's like i always catch him wide awake whenever i wake during the night to pee.

I see you reached Adam's house. Embry thought as i stopped running,

Yep. So i guess i'll come visit you later at work.

Sure, yeah.

See'ya. I thought.

Catch you later. He relied.

Now at Adam's house.

I phased. Untying my clothes from my ankle, I then ran thru the trees towards Adam's lawn.

Seeing his car on the side of his house, I ran passed it towards his back door.

Jumping onto his porch,

I knock on the door once then pushed it open as he had no screen for me to open.

Walking through the indoor porch room, I shut the door then walked through another door that was his kitchen.

Hearing the sound of running water, I looked over as Adam stood by his kitchen sink.

"Hey." I stated, and he instantly jumped.

"Jeez," He exclaimed turning to face me.

"What is with you, Why must you always do that?"

I laughed pulling one of his kitchen chairs out to sit.

"I knocked." I stated.

"Soon i'll start making you come through the front." He retorted.

"Yeah? How so?" I asked as he turned the faucet off.

"By locking the back door." He grinned.

I laughed again.

"Sure."

"What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the trip."

"I am already. I have three bags packed and they're right and already at Sue's house." I stated.

"Did you decide if you were going yet?" I asked.

"Yep. Last night, and I'm also packed." He smirked.

"Have you talked to Rebecca?" I asked.

Adam is pretty obsessed with Jacob's sister. they have a kid together and he's being dying for them all to be a real family. their daughter Jessie is a sweetheart.

I feel bad about that because Rebecca has fully gotten over her ex-husband Solomon. I overheard her telling Billy that she miss living in Hawaii with her other two kids Madison and Justin.

"Yes, she and Jessie is in fact riding along with me."

I gasped shocked. "Aw that's so sweet, you having your family time -

"Don't mock too hard. I think Rebecca only agreed for the sake of Jessie." He said sadly.

"And what about Justin and Madison?" I asked of Rebecca's other two kids.

"Not sure, she didn't mention them so neither did I."

Its wouldn't surprise me if Justin and Madison decided to skip the trip to visit their dad, in Hawaii."

Well I hope everything works out."

"Me too." He mumbled.

"What about Embry? Did he change his mind?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course not, but i told him i will visit him at work before i leave."

"What did he say about the job?"

"That Chalire called him to his house." I stated.

"Why?"

"I don't know, and I verily don't really care." I stated.

"It's not surprising if Embry's mom 'Gwen in fact lined up that interview with the police force. I wouldn't put it past her trying to drive a wedge between Embry and I. Knowing If he moved to port angeles means us having a long distance relationship." I said tapping my foot against the floor. "though Embry have a better chance working for Charlie at the sheriff station in Forks than going all the way down to port angeles."

"Are you worried?" He asked.

"No." I lied.

"However it is surprising that i didn't hear it from him. Embry said not a word to me about it. I had to read it from a text message that some unknown person sent him." I stated.

"Oh. that isn't good."

"Nope." I agreed.

"Well I got a call from my sister this morning." He announced.

"Camilla? What did she say?" I asked.

"Not much. She said she doesn't want to come here to stay with me, but that she'll try not to make a fuss of it." He stated

I nodded.

"I did mention you in hopes it would interest her."

"And?"

He smiled. "She's looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow night. I might have to go pick her up from the airport."

"Well there's nothing wrong with being friends again." I stated merely to myself.

"Yep, and then maybe some of your goodness will rub-off on her."

"Right." I smirked.

I surely would like to see how much she have changed over the past ten years.

*End Of Flashback*

Embry Call's Pov

Sitting on a wooden log, with a huge fire crackling in front of me. I watched as Sarah, played cards with Keira and Henry.

It's funny to think that Sarah would phase on the same day as her cousin and aunt.

They sat in a small circle on the opposite side of the fire, a couple inches away.

I was playing with them, until Ethan showed up with Amy right before i started tell the history of the tribe.

i was hungry so i ate a turkey burger then came to sit alone.

I'm just about ready to get home and get some rest.

It wasn't so long ago that i remember shifting. It wasn't a big party as it seems to be now.

Leah's first book 'Lenten Moon: A Tribe Against the Cold Ones' broke the way i saw it... the wolves owed the vamps nothing. Before the Cullen's moved to Forks we weren't allowed to attack them just as long as they stayed off our land or harmed our people.

None of them now… the bloodsukers that is... dear to come near Forks since the hunters travel everywhere. The entire world know that vampires exist and can be killed, so back in the closet most of them gone. You can say most hybrid peer out of the shadows more often than anything.

The elders are now Jared, Sam, Billy and myself.

Jacob and Leah are included though they stepped down long ago.

Sam and Emily sat alongside Sue and Charlie, on the left side of me.

Jacob came late, is standing by the cliff with Josh and Billy on the right side me.

The only ones who aren't here are Leah, Kelly, Jared, Daniel and Caleb.

I believe Daniel is patrolling the woods with Jared and the other wolves who names i'm unsure of.

"I'll be right back." I heard Sarah's voice say and i lifted my head just as she starting coming in my direction.

My feelings of her and I changed radically in the matter of hours.

It felt so nice at the cafe yesterday. Her and i talked and laughed... we were us again. Jacob was right on the no leaving part. I have to protect no matter what my feelings are.

Her long hair was gone now, she chopped it off that night she was attacked.

I'll have to get use too this new look of hers.

She seems different, older... mature... with her hair cut.

I overheard her say that she went dress shopping with Leah and Keira earlier.

One of her high school dances were coming up i guessed.

I pray she wasn't thinking of going without me.

"Hey." She said smiling her beautiful lips at me and i cleared my throat.

"Hi."

She was wearing a pair of dark green jeans and a yellow tanktop, I couldn't help glancing at how big her breast were.

"This talk about the cold ones and history give you super flashbacks?" She said lowering herself beside me.

So close, she smelt like lavender and yarrow.

"Not too many." I replied.

"So, Are you working tonight?"

I glanced over at Amy, than towards the firepit. "Nope. Not tonight."

"Guessing that means Amy isn't either." She said and i realized that yesterday was so hectic that i didn't get a chance to tell her about my non existing interest in Amy.

"You know, there's nothing between her and i. Just work." I said looking to her brown eyes.

She looked away. "It would be fine, i don't care."

"No?" i asked as yesterday she seemed happy with me.

"I want what you want. Okay? If feelings complicate us then, let's not feel." She said and i glanced over at Ethan who was staring at us.

"Are you saying that because of him?"

She went to that club with him.

He was there with her.

She liked him.

"No." She said calmly. I looked back to her in search of something that would reassure me that she was still mine.

Under normal conditions i would feel embarrassed on speaking about her and i in front of anyone who could hear, but i no longer cared.

Yesterday when she shifted and i held her hand, it was everything to me.

When i drove her home, something, somewhere told me it was safe to hope for a future for her and i.

I wanted to leave for Seattle to give her space and time to decide if i was what she really wanted.

Though after my talk with Jacob and her almost being attacked by that Alec leech, i knew then that i can't possibly leave, nor live without her. What the heck was i thinking.

"How are you feeling now that you shifted?" She asked changing the conversation. smiling her brown eyes at me.

I bit down on my lower lip as everyone else glared over, waiting for my answer. "I didn't."

"What? Really? Why? I thought… you...you had." She said confused looking over at Jacob.

I smiled at her. "I thought about it. I will, when i have to."

"What does that even mean?" Her baffled expression was cute.

I laughed to myself.

"What is with you today? You seem… different." She said low.

"How so?"

"Less broody and king tut like."

She said and i shrugged my shoulders glancing towards the fire. "Nice to know how you feel about me."

She laughed.

"I didn't mean it like that." She laughed leaning her head on my upper arm.

and her hand fail onto my leg.

it was playful but skin contact had to mean something better than i hoped, that i had a chance.

"Sorry," She said taking her hand from my leg.

"No, it's alright. It didn't bother me." I demanded.

"No." She breathed.

"Truthfully, it's fine. Your skin is so much warmer than mine. Try not to scorch me." I joked.

She laughed again.

It was the most beautiful sound i can never get enough of.

"Such a flirt." She mocked.

"Flirting is the sincerest form of flattery."

"Oh so i flatter you now."

I laughed.

"You know that curve underneath your nose is pretty new, and constant. I like it." She said and i looked at her newly short pixie cut hair, just to keep the focus of her warmth.

this moment felt like yesterday.

"Wish i could be-

She cut off and suddenly the smile on her face faded.

She looked over at Amy and i instantly knew what she was thinking.

"Hey." I said gently putting two fingers to her cheek, forcing her to look me in the eye. "Don't. Get it out your head."

She glared at me with pained, heartbreaking eyes. "It's fine-

"It's not. You don't know the truth." I said grabbing her hands.

She still does get it.

She looked around the campfire and an unanticipated of embarrassment whistled. It wasn't coming from me at all but from all around her.

"It's late." She said fast sliding her hands from mine. "I'm pretty beat."

"Wait." I said as she stood to her feet to leave.

I didn't want her to run alone.

"I'll come with you." I stated.

There's no perfect time besides now than to shift with her and prove to her that i'm willing to ease any doubt she has of Amy and I.

I'm not even attracted to Amy, she looks like a fish compared to her.

Pulling off my shirt, i dropped it to the ground.

"Woah, What are you doing?" She said said glaring around wided eye.

"Lets agree." I said facing her. "We only phase when we're together. Not with your brothers, not with Keria, not with Henry, not with anyone but each other."

"Not even my Dad?" She said a bit amused.

"He's the only inception, but only when he needs one of us."

"So you want me to-

"I want you to be with me and no one else." i said fast, "Ahh that came out wrong... i mean- -

"And what if I don't want to turn into a gigantic dog?" She said and i narrowed my eyes.

"What?"

"What if i don't want to shift with you or anyone?"

"Oh…" I said scratching my head. "I just thought with yesterday…. You seem to be controlling it. I thought i could help. Bond… or you know."

Sarah shook her head.

I looked down at my shirt on the log feeling like an idiot. "Then I guess I'll have to be in it all by myself then."

"Tryna catch me naked?" She smirked.

Can't say i haven't thought about it….

"Thanks, Embry but i don't want this." She said glancing around the cliff. "Shifting isn't something i want. I'm sure it would be fun and i probably could protect myself from the sparkly vampires with odd powers with your help but, i rather be as normal as i can." She said and yesterday made so much sense.

In the cafe she was trying so hard not to phase, i thought it was me helping but it was all her. Her gift was obviously self control, like Daniel in a strange way.

"That actually makes sense." i nodded understanding.

"Don't be too bummed, you'll have other chances of seeing me naked." She smirked jokingly. "I'm going to head home, catch you later." She said turning away from me.

I isighed.

Maybe i was hoping she would love phasing with me.

I would've of done it only for her, and now that she doesn't want to have that in common … looks like i'll have to find something else for us to bond over.

Something that can only be between her and i.

I looked over as everyone started to leave the cliffs, all including Jacob. He gave me one glance then shook his head in pity.

He followed after Sarah towards the parking lot and i knew he and everyone else heard my lame attempt to wooing Sarah.

Its obvious i was a little too late.

Sarah has it in her head that i'm interested in Amy, and for some sick reason she must be into Ethan.

I can't lose her.

Not to him.

Leah Clearwater's Pov

*Dream*

"Man, It's hot out there." Jacob said slamming the front door shut, walking into the house with no shirt and cut off pants.

"I can barely breathe." He said looking to me.

He was so cute. Short black cut hair. Tan skin. Brown eyes. Broad shoulders. "Is it?"

running his hands through his hair, he paused licking his lips.

"We should go swimming."

"At the beach?" I asked.

"It would help." He smiled.

"oh i'm not that hot." I said as he grinned walking up on me. I took a step back, cautiously watching darkness change in his eyes.

"I disagree with that." He smiled leaning his lips towards mine. "Have i told you how much i missed you?"

I missed him as well.

Cornered, i had no place to turn.

I didn't say a word as he pushing me up against the wall.

His lips not leaving mine for a second as his hands roamed up my waist.

The kiss was hungry and filled with passion so hostile.

I kissed back just as harder.

My hands knotted up in his hair.

Pulling his body closer.

His lips molding into mine. My back being pushed harder against the wall. I moaned in the kiss, as he dragged his fingers up my spine.

He lifted both of my legs and wrapped them around his waist.

Lifting me effortlessly.

I grinded into his hips and he moaned.

Pressing me into the wall again, I felt his hands slip up my shirt.

In that instance he started carrying me to the bed, his lips still against mine.

In our room, he gently laid me down on the bed.

On top of me, he slid down my shorts steading kissing me.

This felt nice.

Being with him.

"I've missed you so much."

He spoke, kissing my cheek as he slowly pushed inside of me.

I couldn't help but moan his name.

"Jacob."

It caused him to go faster, and a rush of pure ecstasy rushed through me.

I moaned louder as he kissed my neck.

….. … ….. …..

"Hey?"

Was whispered.

Opening my eyes to find his staring in mine.

Jacob.

My throat dry as the Sahara desert, i didn't try to speak.

With that dream so fresh, my heart was racing.

"You okay?" He asked.

i slowly nodded.

"Some dream you were having." He smirked amused.

"You... have... no idea." I mouthed than a flood of envy of the couple in the dream went through me.

Jacob wrapped his arm around me, scooting closer and i wanted to kiss him.

"Have I told you how much i've missed you?" I said low, repeating the words he spoken in my dream.

"No. actually, you haven't." He said pulling me into him. "But i know things aren't what they should be and coming home to… what you came home to… i understand."

"How did the bonfire go?" I asked as after i took Sarah and Keira shopping i dropped them off at the beach as i wasn't feeling well.

I came home to rest and apparently slept the night away.

"It went alright." He answered. "But let's not talk about that. Let's not talk at all." He said and i didn't want to argue.

moving his head over, i wanted to meet him halfway.

The tickle between my legs forewarned me, i was wet enough to play.

I cupped his face in my hands, bringing his lips to mine eagerly.

I wanted to hear nor speak no words.

I wanted him just as bad as he wanted me in my dream.

Just before he moved to get on top of me, I flipped him over, surprising him.

He chuckled.

We continued kissing and i pressed my hands into his chest.

Jacob smirked when I tugged on the bottom of his shirt and complied in taking it off.

Pausing our kiss, I smiled and slightly gawked at his abs.

Lovely caressing my palms over every line, he sighed, closing his eyes in pleasure.

"I've missed this." He said low.

"And i've missed this."

moving my hands to his pants. I undid them and quickly pulled them off.

His boxers were pulled down along with them and he was so hard i wasn't surprise.

I traced my hand over his cock, and his bucked his hips.

Lifting my body just enough to pulling down my sweat pants, Jacob put his hands to my hips, just as i sat on him.

I moaned at how good it felt putting him inside of me.

His hands ran over all over me ever so tenderly, it gave me goosebumps.

His touch was divine.

Moving my body up and down, he sat up kissing my skin.

His tongue trailing up my collarbone then ear.

I leaned away grinding against him. "Slow down." He whispered.

I was so wet and full of lust.

"You like it fast." I stated.

I didn't slow anything down. I didn't want too. I wrapped my arms around his neck, arching my back as he held onto me.

Feeling his cocks head in and out of me at the pace i kept moving faster and faster.

Jacob groaned then suddenly flipped me over hard onto my back.

"Hey!" I protested.

His hands pinned my arms against the bed.

He wasn't as out of breath as i was but his heart was pumping.

i hadn't realize my sweatshirt was still on.

His eye twitched. "What's gotten into you?"

He said with a perplexed look on his face.

"What? Why did you stop?"

"Not that i don't mind you on me like some rabid animal-

"Then don't stop me." I said shoving his arms from me. "It was good." I said sitting up, pulling myself from underneath him.

Jacob keeled on the bed as i pulled him into me, kissing his lips.

Not fighting me, he kissed back gently as before.

His hand rubbed my breast when his other brushed my clit.

I quivered.

Suddenly with both of his hands he grabbed my thighs and pulled them towards him. Breaking our kiss i felled back onto the bed and Jacob push my legs open.

i looked to the ceiling.

feeling his wet tongue slide up my clit and I bucked my hips at how good it felt.

I shivered.

He held my waist in place with one hand.

Kissing my clit once I felt his wet tongue enter me over and over.

Gripping his hair lightly I pushed myself more into his mouth.

His tongue moved fast and hard.

I moaned already knowing i was getting close to cumming.

Gasped when his finger entered me, i tugged at his hair once more with both hands.

"Jacob?"

We both jumped to the sound and i sighed as someone knocked on the bedroom door.

"What?" Jacob stood up off the bed and i reached for my sweats.

Great! just when it was feeling so good.

"Embry is outside, he said you guys were patrolling tonight." Billy said through the door.

"Ugh." Jacob exclaimed pulling up his pants.

Soon as i slipped on mine, he glanced at me than cracked opened the bedroom door. "Tell him five minutes."

"Well this must have been a sigh." I said merely to myself, hopping off the bed to get some clean clothes from my dresser.

Jacob shut the bedroom door. "He can wait."

he moved towards me.

I put my hand to his chest. "I have to get washed up, be careful patrolling." I said kissing his lips than turning to the bathroom.

"No, come on." He said grabbing my arm gently pulling me to him.

"Jacob." I said in a warning tone, not wanting him so close.

"No, stop." He said squeezing me to him. "I love you."

"I know." i said no longer in the intimate mood.

"I love you too, is what you should say back. you only been back for five minutes, tell what i can do to make you happy." He stated.

I sighed. "You wanna know what would make me happy?"

he tilted his head. "Is for you to once not worry about anything."

"I will always worry for you."

"No need. Just go patrol, i'll see you when you get back." I said wiggling out of his grasp.

"Leah." He said seriously and i looked up into his eyes.

"What wrong?" His sexy brown eyes full of agony.

"Nothing, i'm just not in the mood anymore."

"No, i mean in general. Ever since you got back you've been avoiding me. Only chance i came to touching you was just now and even than you were all for yourself."

"Jacob-

"No, i get it. You have some steamy dream and i'm there willing to fulfill your every desire but soon as i need some embracing to push me away."

He said and i knew he was right.

I'm so stupid to have sex with him knowing i'm pregnant, knowing i'd just pull away every time he'll try to touch me.

"I know, I couldn't help myself. Don't mean to make you feel like i'm avoiding you. i'm sorry."

"Then talk to me. What's wrong?"

I shook my head, not ready to tell him just yet.

In a strange way i wasn't ready myself to accept it.

"Leah, I don't tell you I love you out of habit. I say it to remind you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Whatever's going on you tell me, no matter what it is." He said pleading for me to open up to him.

"I'm fine, just tired and hungry. okay? Go patrol, we'll continue this later." I said kissing him on the cheek again then pulling his arms from me.

Not saying another word i moved into the bathroom and shut the door.

Closing the toilet seat i sat down putting my head in my hands.

Soon….

I will tell him i'm pregnant soon, as for now i have to focus on the kids. Joshua, Daniel, Caleb, and Sarah are most important right now.

Leah's Pov

*Flashback*

26 years ago

I opened my eyes at the sound of my bedroom door closing and I groaned as the light from the window blindsided me.
I laid vertically across Jacob's chest with my hand on his stomach, and lifted my head a little glancing towards my door.
I sighed looking up at Jacob who was sound asleep and I couldn't help but smile.
Awww he looked so adorable sleeping.
I slowly sat up carefully not to wake him, then noticing I was completely naked I held onto some of the covers, pulling them with me.
"You okay?" Jacob said leaning up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said running my hand through my hair.
I should be fine, do to the fact that we were both practically up all night.
I feel really relaxed like I spend the whole night at an expensive Spa.
"Are you sure?" He asked worried as if I just got out of a hospital or something. "If your sore you can let me know. Okay?"
I sighed. How many times was he gonna ask me about my wellbeing?
"Yes! Dad. My body and mind is just peachy." I said looking up at him.
"I'm not as weak as you think."
"I know that." He stated as if he wasn't aware of it at all. "I'm just checking."
"You don't have to. It's annoying, you're making me feel... .." I trailed off searching for the right word. "Fragile."

"You're right. Sorry, I should really stop doing that. I know its-
"Annoying." I said cutting him off.
He sighed heavily, Then looked away from me ruefully.
"What?" I asked not liking his regretful expression.
"Nothing." He muttered still not looking at me.
"Telling me." I said curiously as the irritating feeling wore off.
When he smiled deeply towards me as if I said something beautiful, I kinda narrowed my eyes.
"Alright, I was just thinking on how much ground we covered last night." He smirked amused. "I actually thought you weren't gonna do anything but lie to me like everyone else."
"Well ... you did ask for the truth." I clarified continuing to hold on to the covers, as he glared ahead straight towards my closet.
"After you were getting ready to lie." He retorted and I thought about that.
"Okay you got me there, but.. .other then that I guess we did cover the most ground in like-
"Ever!" He stated cutting me off.

I looked over at him.
Of course his deep brown eyes was gloating very cocky.

I bet five bucks and say that he thinks he have me around his finger.

Well... . After last night he sorta do, but just a little.
"So... . Do you have any secrets that I should know about?"
He asked and I narrowed my eyes.
Where and the heck did that come from?
"What do you mean?" I asked..
Jacob laughed to himself.
"Any past... riveting situations from college that I should know about?" He said trying not to seem anxious.

He must have meant other 'guy' situations.

I bust out laughing, then laid my head on his shoulder.
"No. It's safe to say for five years I haven't fallen over anyone." I smiled snuggling into his bear masculine chest.
"Or... been intimate with anyone?" He said wanting me to make it clear that i've been completely single and alone for 5 years.
"No. the only thing that screwed me was the parasite." I mocked.
He didn't respond.
He just kept quiet, and I could tell that he hated me joking about that as much as Sue did.

Being raped by a bloodsucker was the last thing a sane person would joke of, but lets face it... i've healed from it. it's just bananas that it happened. Just because no one mentions it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
"Except this other guy " I started wanting to mess with him.
"What other guy?" He said frowning and slowly leaning his face to mine.
"Except for my roommate's cousin. One night he slept over .. And we-
"What?" Jacob said a little enraged, leaning back.
I laughed.
"I'm kidding. i was sick, so he slept over and we watched television. He had a crush but somehow new i was in love with someone else. Nothing happened." I grinned. "I just wanted to see what your reaction would be." I laughed pulling him towards me, at the same time glaring up at his weirded-out expression.
"Ouch. For a second I really thought you shagged some college dude." He said smiling relieved, and reaching over to hold my hand in his.
I snorted.
"Technically I was shagged by some stranger, but that was worst picturing you screw the half-breed." I joked. "Now that... was something I'll have nightmares about."
"That's... not funny." He muttered bothered, glaring down at my hand that was in his.
"What part?" I asked alittle confused. "The part about me and the leech or you with the hybrid?"
"You know which part." He snapped annoyed.

Okay, I got it. Like most guys would, he wish he was somewhere that he wasn't.
Even if he was in the room that day, he would've been able to protect me.

The leeches would've gotten what they wanted either way. Right now him and Sue are stressing about it for no reason.

That day no longer bothered me, I don't have nightmares about being stalked anymore so they should forget about it too.

Its way too obvious that Jacob is sensitive about the entire thing, when he doesn't have to be. I wish I could get him out of it.
"It's not your job to pity me. I don't want it." I stated.
"I don't! I mean i'm not!"
"You are! And you're getting just like Sue." I stated.
"Why? because we rather not brush off the fact that you can't help but to disregard what happen? You're not bulletproof Leah, you're human."
"I'm fully aware of that."

"Are you?"

"Just forget about it. You're making the case bigger than what it is. It's not good to obsess."
He snorted.
"So that's what i'm doing? Obsessing?"
"Sorta, Yeah." I stated. "Why do you think i'm joking about it?"
"Oh, I got it because we weren't suppose to found out in the first place?" He said letting go of my hand. "You know, not everyone on the Rez can just-
"Look! Just drop it!" I said leaning away from him and moving over.
"Fine. Whatever." He said shaking his head.
I sighed, rolling my eyes remorseful.
I completely got what bother him and Sue.

It was about me not wanting to tell them that I almost died.
I looked over at him as he threw himself back on the bed hard.
"What do you want me to do? Lash out and piss everyone off? Be that poor pathetic bitter girl again?" I stated.
"Yes! That's precisely what I want you to do." He said sardonically glaring up at the ceiling, like he had laser vision.

"Yeah, you would love that wouldn't you? Five years definitely haven't changed. Aren't you tired of going around and fixing the broken? You're so equipped."
Jacob snorted.
"Whatever." He said not wanting to argue with me.
I shook my head repentantly. "Your suppose to say . 'I'm sorry Leah, I can't help to act unfurnished like."
"I know I do." He retorted and I narrowed my eyes.
"And i'm not equipped." He stated.
I rolled my eyes.
Grrr! It's like guys were put on this earth to exasperate you, then call you crazy.

and that's what Jacob Black is gonna put me through. I can just feel it.

it funny how we both actually let our guard down last night.

That was mind-boggling and nerve wracking all at the same time. telling the truth on why i left the state and never came back.

At one point I started to deny my feelings and salaciousness for him, but of course he wasn't having it.

Moving closer to him, I collapsed down on top of his ribs.

Everything was envisage like he really spilled his guts out.

If I wasn't the one who left to hide my true feelings I would've thought he was yearning for me, but it's obvious that that was just underneath.

Thinking about how sensational he made me feel, it would really suck if he changed his mind about the thought of wanting me.
already knowing of how much overwhelming sorrow I would feel if another leech came into town and he did all he could to be with her. Now that would be tragic.
I laughed out loud to myself, if history was to repeat itself then I would definitely move to Italy.
"What's so funny?" He asked curiously.
"Nothing." I said scooting myself up to his chest and laying my head underneath his chin.
Then out of nowhere I heard laughing coming from down stairs.
Jacob sighed bothered. And I tightened my arm around his waist.
"Great." He said placing his left arm on my lower back.
I slowly lifted my chin towards his neck. "What?"
"They're talking about us." He inhaled heavily and I put my left hand on his chest.
"Who?"
"Everyone."
"What are they saying? Are they talking about how much you cried like a baby last night?" I said jokingly and he laughed.
"Cried? You were the one screaming half of the night." He smiled biting his upper lip.
"Yeah,Right. I don't remember that." I stated.
"No you wouldn't, would you? Good thing Sam wasn't here or he would've died."
He said with a hint of annoyance.
That's when the thought about my dream popped into my head, the one where we both were on the beach and he got annoyed when he assumed I was still in love with Sam.
God, I hope he's not jealous.
I mean he did mentioned yesterday that it was okay for him to believe that me staying away so long was infact cause of Sam, or that he thought I wanted to joined the council because Sam was on it.
"Why would he die? So you wouldn't rub in the fact that you're once again better than him at something? Yeah, for that he would definitely leave." I stated.
"I wouldn't have tried rubbing anything in?" He said offensive.
"Right! Just like I wouldn't rub in the fact that you and the leeches were better off. In Fact, you were in denial the whole entire time you spent with them. The label on your back wasn't much of an anti-Cullen Girl sign." I stated about Bella Swan and her precious descended.

Okay! Reminding him of the leeches was the last thing I wanted to do, even though he made it clear last night that he didn't care about any of them.

But just to make a point. He wouldn't think twice on telling Sam to step-off and I damn sure wouldn't think twice on telling the Leech or her spawn to never cross our line or they will be icicles by time i'm finished with them.
Jacob didn't say anything and I looked up at him.
The expression on his face stated he wasn't bothered by my comment. But I didn't want to mention them as mush as he didn't want to say Sam's name.
"My-Bad." I stated. "I'm really trying hard to keep the bashing to a minimal."
Jacob snored.
"Don't try not to mention the Bloodsuckers because you think you'll hit a nerve, just continued to tell me how you really feel. I think I can handle your insults, I mean I have before." He said, but I didn't comment.
"I told you yesterday, my feelings for Bella and Renesmee were another lifetime. They don't matter, so you don't have to walk on eggshells just because we slept together." He said as if that was the only reason.
"Trust me, I won't." I said which wasn't really a lie. "The more I mention the bloodsuckers the more I prove they still bother me." I confessed.
His feeling were my feeling and they hurt just as bad. They did five years ago and they do now.

"After all this time, you and Sam still aren't tight." I stated as they had years to get close.
"What's the real reason you two don't you talk?"
"I think you already know the answer to that." He stated.
"Actually... . I have know idea." I retorted, other than the fact that Sam is jealous of him.

"Do you at least think I'm better off without Him? As if there's no one better? Not including yourself." I asked hoping he'll answer me honestly.
"I don't know."
"That's not an answer."
"I can careless." He said.
"Liar."
"Look, if you want the truth... I can't give you that. All I can say is that you obviously saw something in him that was worth loving, so i'm not gonna say he wasn't good for you because I don't know."
"So you're not holding anything against him?" I said asking.
"What? No."
"So why don't you like him then? I mean you never did, but I wouldn't disregard you if you were green-eyed like he is." I said and waited for him to comment.
It was enormously clear that he was blaming our former Alpha for something.
He took a deep breath.
"It's stupid." He stated low merely to himself. "And I guess I should let things go."
"Let go of what?"
"You." He said and i leaned my head up alittle to look at him confused.

"I'm talking about you." He retorted. "Happy?" He said and I completely got it.
He was so jealous, but not because he thought Sam was better.
The little girl inside me screamed ... 'no way.
"I can be a little jealous if I want, okay." He said before I even commented.
"And because of what? That he had me first?"
"It's more then that."
"How?" I asked tilting my head, glaring at him.
"I don't know. Just think of it as how you felt when I was in love with Bella."
"That's different." I clarified.
"Only slightly. You were still jealous."
"No, I wasn't." I disagreed.
"Yeah, you were. Bella might have been someone you hated and still hate but even back then, she had someone that you wanted."
"And what was that?"
"Ah. me." He said obviously. "You wanted the devotion i had for her... you wanted someone like me.. to feel for you like i had for her."
And I thought about that.

"She had me." I shrugged.
"Yeah..." I nodded.

He was right about that.

"She had you by the balls." I smirked. "And i thought Paul was bad."
"Right." He said rolling his eyes. "Paul, imprinted. I didn't."
I sighed.
i completely understood.
He'll be jealous of Sam and just as long as i see Bella's pale face I'll still feel some type of way about her.
By Sam being downstairs right now, that means Sue and whoever is probably gossiping about me and Jacob in front of him.
"Anyway, I wouldn't let Samuel get to my head,even if he's equal to you." I said leaning up and pulling the covers with me.

"I guess that's the thing. You coming back was too simple. Sometimes I forget exactly who I don't want to be, but to then turn around and be that guy." He said sadly looking away, and I was alittle confused.

What guy was he talking about?

"I'm not like him and it kills everyone." Jacob stated.

"Not me. I don't love you because I think you're some kind of illusion that I made up in my head. I don't want you to have to think on what Jacob Black should be turning into five years after Bella Swan or, three years after Renesmee Cullen." I stated. "I just want us to be happy. I don't want us to fall apart in anyway anymore. I don't know what it is that we're suppose to do and i'm not sure what the right words are that should come out my mouth, but i want to try." I said helplessly.

"You see?" He smiled. "This is what i know, and it never made any sense to step away from one another for so long."

"Well if we didn't than you couldn't have possibly decided on what it is that you needed or wanted."

"That was clear 5 years ago." He stated.

"You mean 3 years ago when the imprinting broke."

"No." He shook his head. "I knew before then."

"But you were in denial."

"I had doubts... and maybe still do a little." He confessed low.

"Why?" I asked confused. "Why are you doubting anything? Especially after last night."

"Because I need to hear you say it." He whispered.

"I want to hear you say it." He said glaring deep into my eyes.

"Just to make it clear." He added.

I nodded.

"How clear do you want me to make it? I left because of you, And I came back." I stated.

"Well maybe that's not enough." He mumbled.

"My entire life I only been in one relationship, So how and the heck do you expect me to show you I would fly across the freaking world to see you."

I sat up, getting on my knees and crawled on top of him.

Jacob looked at me confused, but he then leaned back as I lifted my leg over his body to straddle him and I then wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You know you can have doubts all you what, but I know where I stand." I smirked. "Sometimes your clueless and don't get it and i'm the first to spot it and it's always been like that. Even when we were the leeches guard dogs, so i'm gonna swallow my pride and say that I should've known how much you needed me to say how much im lucky to breath your air. You don't know how many dreams I had of you reminding me that you loved me." I said leaning into him, and kissing his softly angelic lips.

"I will always love you." I said nicely gripping a hand hold of his beautiful hair kissing him sweetly. "I will love you when you're happy, sad, smiling, crying, sleeping, grumpy, sick, healthy, rich, poor, mine, and obviously not mine but importantly i'll love you forever. No one can take this feeling i have of you away. Ever." I said gently placing my tongue playfully in his mouth, He groaned moving his hands to my hips.

"You say this now..."

"Right, and you better not forget it." I threaten.

He laughed, blushing like a schoolgirl.
