Author's note: Hello! I realize it's been a long long time since my last update (a little over a year, actually) and I'm really sorry! I just wasn't inspired for this fic anymore. Anyway, here I am and I hope that if anyone is still reading, you'll drop me a line XD Hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 9: Whatcha waiting for?

Five o'clock couldn't come soon enough. After school, Reid had sat down and done all his homework. Tyler would be proud of him for sure. He would also check if I was running a fever, though. Checking the clock confirmed what he had already suspected: it was only half past four. Walking to La Push would take him ten minutes; fifteen if he decided to walk extra slow. But waiting around had never been Reid's strongest point – unless it was Baby Boy who was begging him to hold back, that is – and trying to keep his mind off Jacob worked for about five minutes before he made up his mind to go to La Push already.

Apparently, thinking about his upcoming meeting only made him move faster since he made it to the beach in record time. Still, he didn't want the other boy to know how eager – and obviously interested, his mind added – he really was. Using the power seemed like the only logical solution to this dilemma. He would make himself undetectable, wait a few more minutes after Jacob arrived and then approach him, making the Quilliuete believe that he had arrived first. And you thought you were a wuss before, Garwin. Couldn't be more desperate if you tried.

About ten minutes passed by, the blond leaning against a fallen tree near the shore. He liked the way the beach was laid out, with trees and rocks and cliffs all around. It didn't look like a place families would go to on a sunny day. Not that there were any sunny days in Forks. But it looked like a quiet, relaxing spot for teenagers to just hang out. Like I'm about to do with Jacob.

"I can smell you, you know"

Reid jumped at that. Where the hell had that come from?

Your left ear, jackass. His mind was always willing to help him out.

He heard the muffled laughter and turned his head to the left to see no other than Jacob Black standing close behind him. His hands were tucked in the back pockets of his cut-off shorts and Reid noticed, with great satisfaction, that he was not wearing a shirt.

"Can you see me?" He asked, curious as to the extent of the werewolf's powers.

Jacob shook his head and kept looking ahead. "No. Is that one of your powers? Invisibility?"

Reid stood up and walked slowly around the tree, to stand directly behind Jacob. He saw the other boy close his eyes as he leaned close enough to ghost his breath against his ear.

"Not invisibility. Undetectability" He corrected, standing just inches away from dark skin. "Actually, I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to"

He was about to step back and reveal himself when Jacob spoon around too fast for Reid's eyes to register, and pinned the him to the floor by the wrists in one swift movement.

"Werewolf power: I don't need to see you" he whispered, eyes still closed.

He had his full weight on Reid's body, pinning his arms on the sides of his face. One leg was between the warlock's and as he shifted slightly he could feel the positive response of the body underneath. Jacob smiled at the realization.

Funny, Reid thought, I would have grinned. And why the hell am I wearing a shirt?

Using the power to reveal himself, Reid grinned up to Jacob and winked. "Comfortable?"

"Yeah, but this position isn't going to help us with what he have to do"

Having said that, the werewolf stood up and offered his hand to the blond.
