"Where is your mate," asked Mo'at.
"He is out hunting with about 5 others." Answered Neytiri.
"Oh, how is he doing?"
"He is ok, but he has been troubled lately, nightmares, things of that nature."
"I think…my daughter, that to brighten his mood, a little, you should tell him."
"Now mother? But wouldn't that be selfish? I mean it's what I want, but I don't know what he wants."
"Neytiri, he is your mate, it is only fair that he knows."
"Yes, I'll tell him as soon as I can, and when the time feels right. But mother?"
"Yes, my daughter?"
"I've had strange feelings about Jake lately. As if, I don't deserve him. I mean, he's Toruk Makto, he saved our people."
"It's funny you should say that Neytiri, because he told me the same thing about you just yesterday."
"Really? What did you tell him."
"I told him you love him and that that is all that matters. And now I tell you the same thing."
"Thank you, mother."
"Speaking of Jake, my daughter, here he is now."
Neytiri ran over to her mate as fast as she could, jumping on him and bringing them both to the ground.
"What took you so long Jake?"
"I don't know, but I missed you." He said, kissing her.
"Come on, let's go," she said, helping him up. They began to walk to their secret spot, holding hands, her long, slender fingers, in contrast to his shorter ones. Neytiri wanted to tell him so badly but she was afraid of his reaction, very afraid. She would tell him eventually, but when was the right time? They both finally arrived at their secret spot.
JAKE'S POV
She was so beautiful. What did I ever do to deserve her? I came here, betrayed my own race, and I was a traitor. It was still a mystery to me. She was perfect, in every way, shape, and form. My heart skipped a beat every time I set my eyes on her. But right now, she looked unsure; we sat down together near the river in the cove, our feet barely touching the water below us. Her hair was unbraided, running down her back. She looked so gorgeous. She put her hand on mine.
"Jake, there's something I wanted to ask you about." She said, with a look of anxiety in her eyes.
"Sure, what is it?" I would talk to her about anything she wanted to.
"Well uh…..my mom told me that you felt that you didn't deserve me. Can you tell me why you feel that way?"
I could think of a lot of reasons why I didn't deserve her.
"Well, for starters, you were supposed to be with Tsu'tey, but you chose me for some reason. Also, you're so beautiful, and there are probably other males out there that want you too that are better people than I am. Also, I was crippled and weak. You deserve much better than that, and I deserve less, much less."
NEYTIRI'S POV
Why couldn't I tell him what I REALLY wanted to talk about?! Well that doesn't matter right now. What does matter is why he felt this way.
"Oh Jake, the reason I chose you is not because of your physical strength and ability, but because of your spirit. It's so strong, so beautiful. You were scared of me in your human form because you thought I would reject you. But I didn't, my love for you only increased. Remember what I said Jake: No matter how small you feel, I will always be here, and I will love you. You are mine Jake, and I'm yours."
"Do you really feel that way, Neytiri?" he asked."
"Of course I do, Jake. My Jake." I said.
"Wow, that's such a relief. Is there anything else you want to talk with me about Neytiri?"
YES!!! THERE IS!
"Um…no…that's all Jake."
"Ok."
"Come with me Jake, you've been out hunting, doing work for your People all day. It's time you relax."
I took Jake to a little area outside of the cove and I told him to lay down on some soft moss.
"Here Jake drink this, I will massage you."
"What is this stuff?" he asked, curiously.
"It will help you relax." Within a few minutes he was acting very strange. His speech was very slurred as well.
"Jake are you alright?" I asked, concerned.
"You're pretty." He said putting his finger right at my nose. I knew he was alright.
"Jake, there really is something I wanted to talk about with you. But I couldn't gather enough courage. Now the time seems right." I looked down, only to see he was fast asleep under me. I would tell him tomorrow. But for now, I would sleep with him. Yes, tomorrow…..I hope.
Author's Note: So I've been writing this for a bit now and have received criticism and praise. So I want to take both of those and make this story even better. Also, do you guys want a lemon scene? Let me know.
