& So The Werewolf Fell In Love With The Loch Ness Monster
Chapter Eight
"I really love you, you know."
I couldn't sleep. I had been in bed for about an hour now, and even though I was tired, I just couldn't get to sleep. I sighed and rolled over, Leah was still fast asleep. I climbed out of bed and went over to the window. I peeked through the blinds, it was raining, hard. Maybe a late night rain walk would tire me out. I chuckled a little, it sounded like I was trying to get a baby to sleep. Tire me out.
I was already tired, I just didn't want to wait there in bed for sleep to come, when it clearly wasn't going to any time soon. I looked out of the window again at the rain and then at myself. Hmm, don't want to get my PJ's wet. I love these guys. I laughed softly and went over to my suitcase, pulling out a black dress that ended just below my knees. This'll do, can't be bothered to get changed properly. I unbuttoned my PJ shirt and laid it on my bed, then did the same with my PJ pants. I slid the dress on over my black bra. It maybe clung to my body a little too tight, but oh well. I couldn't be bothered searching for my jacket, if I was going out in the rain I might as well do it like this. Nobody was going to see me anyway. They'd probably still all be in the games room.
I slipped my shoes on, opened the door quietly and went out. The cold rain hit my body and I kind of liked it. I had always liked the rain anyway, but usually I didn't go out in it this exposed, but it was quite fun. The rain trickled down my newly formed exposed cleavage as I walked forward. I looked over at Jacob's pool house, the light was off, he must have been asleep. I sighed and knew he was the reason why I couldn't sleep. I was now completely drenched from head to toe, I was actually surprised how wet I was, it was like I had just jumped into the pool. I could feel the rain running down my body like I was in the shower it was raining that hard.
I headed in the direction around Jacob's pool house to have a random walk, but as I took a step forward...there he was. Jacob. A soaking wet Jacob. He had just walked from around the corner of his pool house. I froze where I was and so did he. He looked at me and I looked at him. And then we were both walking towards each other, the pull was so strong that for a second I didn't even realize I had started moving. We got to each other and not one of us said anything. I looked up at him into his eyes and I couldn't even feel the rain anymore.
I was so happy to be with him that I flung my arms around his neck, holding him close. The heat from his body transferred to mine and I sighed. I felt hot tears run down my face, and I didn't even know why I was crying. Jacob wouldn't be able to tell anyway because of the rain.
"I'm sorry." I whispered into his ear.
He moved his head backwards so I moved away and withdrew my arms from around him.
"What for?" he looked at me.
"Oh, Jacob, I was so horrible!" I sobbed. It was clear now that I was crying even though he couldn't see the tears.
He took me into his arms and held me close to him, I buried my head into his chest and closed my eyes.
"It's okay, it's fine. I'm not mad." he reassured me, but it was worse that he wasn't.
I moved away from him. "I wish you were."
"Why?"
"Because I deserve it." I sighed and shivered.
"You're cold, you should go back inside."
"I'm not going to get ill, Jacob."
"You might. How do you know you won't?" he asked.
"I haven't been ill a day in my life."
"Maybe you should go back in anyway."
"You just want to get rid of me." I muttered.
"Of course I don't."
"You do. You don't want me."
He took a step towards me and brushed some hair away that was stuck to my face with the rain. He kept his hand on my face and he leaned in and and whispered in my ear. "I want you more than you know."
Suddenly his warm lips were on mine and I didn't know how it happened but it did. It felt like the world had stopped, I couldn't see anything else but Jacob. Rain crashed around us and it almost felt like it wasn't touching us, like there was a barrier around us both separating us from reality. I never wanted the moment to end but I knew it would soon. Everything felt right, every wrong in the world was right in that moment, and anything bad about my life felt like nothing. There was nothing I would rather do at that moment and nowhere I would rather be than in his arms. I was so in love with him.
The kiss finally ended. It could have been seconds, minutes, months, years, I couldn't tell. It seemed like time had stopped altogether.
"I love you." I blurted out. "I'm in love with you."
Jake sighed and I shivered, I finally felt the cold. He put his arm around me. "Come on, let's go inside before you freeze."
I nodded and he lead me towards his pool house. We went inside, he turned the light on and handed me a towel.
"Thanks." I said as I wrapped it around me. I sat down on the double bed and he sat down beside me, in his towel. I laughed a little.
"What?" he grinned.
I shook my head. "Nothing."
He looked over at me and was quiet for a minute. "Ness..."
"Yeah?"
"About that...kiss..."
I sighed. "You're going to tell me we shouldn't have done it again, aren't you?"
"Well...yeah, sort of." he paused. "I want you to wait and...play the field for a bit, you know. Be normal. Start high school. Date other guys." I saw him flinch a little.
"But we're supposed to be together, you know that."
"I know, I know. But that doesn't have to be now."
"What if I want it to be?" I pouted.
He shook his head. "Nessie, please. Just do it." he paused. "For me."
I sighed. "Fine," I scooted backwards and laid down on the bed. "But there won't be any other guys I'll like." I said stubbornly.
Jacob laid down next to me and looked up at the ceiling. I turned my head and watched him.
"What about that guy you met today?" He asked, still not looking at me.
"Jacob, seriously? I don't want him, okay? I was horrible before. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." I bit my lip.
"It's fine."
I looked down at the dampness I had caused on the bed. "I've got your bed wet, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." he repeated.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked.
"No."
"What are you thinking?"
He turned his head and faced me. "In all honesty...I'm thinking that I'm in love with you, too."
"Really?"
"Yeah." he sighed. "I still think you should live your life and date other guys, though, before we're together."
"I don't want other guys. I only want you." I moved closer to him.
He put his arms around me and held me close. "And I only want you. But please just live your life first."
I sighed. I knew he wouldn't back down. "Can I stay here tonight, with you?"
"And what will your parents think of that?"
"I don't care. Please, Jacob. Let me stay tonight. I promise I'll live my life like you say." I pleaded.
"But you're wet."
"So? I'm not cold or anything, I'm fine."
He sighed and got off the bed. He rummaged around his suitcase and pulled out one of his shirts. He tossed it to me. "Go put it on, I don't want you getting ill from wearing wet clothes."
I shook my head and laughed. "You know I won't get ill." I got up off the bed and took his shirt to the bathroom. I pulled off my dress and then grabbed the towel and dried myself. I slipped on Jake's shirt, it ended in the middle of my thighs. I dried my hair as best as I could with the towel and opened the bathroom door to go out.
Jacob was facing this way. He had changed his pants, he now had on some PJ shorts, and he was just pulling his wet shirt off. He didn't see me so I closed the door then opened it a little and peeked out. I gulped as I watched him, and my stomach felt weird, like butterflies, but good butterflies. My heart sped up.
"I know you're there." he said suddenly.
I laughed, but it didn't sound right and I didn't know why. I opened the door and stepped out.
"Are you okay?" he asked, coming over to me.
I nodded, I felt weird, I didn't know what it was. I walked closer to him and put my hands on his bare chest. I didn't even know what I was doing. I put my arms around his neck, pulling him to me. I stood on my tip toes to kiss him but he leaned away.
"Nessie..."
"Please, Jake." I pleaded with him, it sounded more needy that I meant it to. I grabbed his face suddenly and pressed my lips to his. My mouth moved with his urgently, I couldn't even control it, I needed him. I pressed my body closer to his but it wasn't close enough, I didn't want this layer of clothing between us. I reached down to his shirt that I was wearing and began to lift it up to take it off. His hands came on top of mine and he stopped them, breaking the kiss also.
I looked up at him, my eyes pleading with him to continue. He shook his head and I sighed. I sat down on the bed and he sat next to me. I noticed that the main light was off, it was just the bedside lamp that was on now.
He opened his mouth to talk but I did first. "I know...we shouldn't have done that." I said.
He shut his mouth. "Right."
"But my family are gonna think we did something anyway so we might as well...do something."
"As tempting as that is, we can't, Nessie. You can just show them we didn't do anything if they don't believe us anyway."
I sighed. He had a point. "True." I noticed for the first time that the bed wasn't wet. "You changed the sheets."
"Yep." he pulled them up and got inside. "You coming to bed, then?" he asked me.
"Give me a minute." I sat there, waiting for the strange sensation in my stomach to disappear.
He chuckled.
"What? What's so funny?" I looked behind my shoulder at him.
"Nothing."
I turned the lamp off then got under the covers and moved to him. He put his arm around me and held me close to him. Our faces were just an inch apart. I stared into his eyes and he did mine.
"I really love you, you know." I whispered.
"I know. Me too." he paused. "But remember what I said. Starting tomorrow."
"Okay." I agreed, and I couldn't even remember falling asleep, but I did.
