As I woke up, I stretched. My dream wasn't all that bad, but damn, it messed me up. It was me and Jacob, a few years from now, with a little boy and girl running around us happily. It seemed like the best way to live my life. But that wouldn't happen if I staid pissed at him.
Sitting up and smiling, I fixed my hair and pulled it into a high pony tail. Looking at the clock, I realized it was only about six o'clock. I had plenty of time to try to be nice (first time ever). Sighing, I pushed off the couch and walked into the kitchen. Billy was still asleep, and so was Jacob.
Opening the fridge I sighed. I hoped they liked a simple breakfast, because I wasn't really a cook by any standards. I pulled out the carton of eggs, a package of bacon, and pulled a loaf of bread from a cabinet.
Pulling out two skillets I set to work. Billy probably ate as much as I did, but I had a feeling Jacob ate a lot more than us. I set both of the skillets on the stove and started to heat them up. I placed the bacon into the one, and pulled out a bowl for the eggs, and a whisk.
Before I started to crack the eggs, I put four pieces of bread into the toaster, and then turned back to the eggs. There were eighteen eggs in the carton, and I cracked them all, and started to whisk with a little bit of milk.
I cooked all of the eggs, all of the bacon, and most of the loaf of bread. I put a scoop of eggs on my plate, a piece of toast and a strip of bacon. I doubled that for Billy and put his on the table, and piled the rest onto the skillet with the eggs, and put a fork in it, and a fork on mine.
I went to Billy's door and knocked. "Breakfast's on the table." And then went to Jacob's room. I really didn't want to be out of character nice, but I needed to stop being a bitch. I had his skillet in my hand, and my plate in the other.
Knocking on the door with my elbow, I moved the plate to my forearm, and cracked open the door. "Anyone awake?" I whispered in, putting my plate back in my hand.
"Ugh ten more minutes Dad…" I saw him pull the pillow over his head, and I laughed softly.
I kicked open the door and put the plate and the skillet down on the end table and sat on the bed, gently nudging him. "Get your big wolf ass up."
"Ugh, I don't wanna. Just lay down for a second."
I bit my lip and felt my heart speed up as he said it. Did he mean it? Did he mean 'Just let me lay down for a second?'
"Wait, what?"
He lifted his arm up into the air so I could lay just. "Just shut up and lay down. You know you want to." I saw his eyes in slits, and a smile creep across his face.
I smiled, and slid onto the bed, and pressed my back into his bare chest, letting out a sigh as his warmth engulfed me. He put his arm back down around my waist and he sighed too. "This is nice. I could get used to this." He muttered into my hair.
"Don't get too used to it, wolf boy. I must just be too tired to realize what I'm doing." I smirked. I knew I was lying, and so did he.
"Sure you are."
I turned around to face him, and wrapped my arms around his neck, and he kept his arm around my waist. "Tell me something, will you?"
He smiled and me, and brushed the hair from my face gently. "Anything, Rose."
"Why do I feel like this? Why do I like I need to be with you?" I gently ran my hand through his soft hair, smiling brighter.
"It's because of the wolf thing. It's a long story."
"Well you can tell me while we eat."
He sighed and looked deeper into my eyes. "Can't we just lay like this for a little while?"
"You need to eat. Come on, we can lay back down later." I used my arms to pull myself closer to him and smile. "I guess I'm stuck here for a while anyway, right?" I gently kissed him on the lips, and then pulled back.
Sitting up, I started to eat from my plate. Jacob actually finished eating before I did somehow. Once I finished, I laid back down on the bed, and faced the ceiling. "Will you tell me now?"
He laid down next to me and smiled. He slid his fingers between mine and sighed. "Alright, well there is a thing called an imprint. It's when a wolf meet's their soul mate, they instantly fall in love. They suddenly only want to make their imprint happy, and to be with them. They do whatever to make their imprint happy and safe."
"So… I take it you imprinted?" I smirked and looked at him.
"Yeah, you should meet her some time." He chuckled, and I hit him.
"Oh shut up wolf boy." I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed. "So does that mean I'm stuck with your furry ass now?" I giggled.
"Yeah, I guess it does." He tucked the hair behind my ear. "And I'm stuck with your cursing ass."
I pulled myself up and onto his chest, looking down at him. "You know it." I pressed my mouth down on his, and ran my tongue over his bottom lip, asking for entrance.
He opened his mouth, welcoming me. Our tongues fought for dominance in the sweet dance that I have never had before. His hands traced shapes on my back, as mine roamed over his bare chest.
We finally had to pull apart and rested my forehead on his. "Wow…Maybe this isn't such a bad thing." I smiled and bit my bottom lip.
"So what do you want to do today, beautiful?" He ran his hands through my hair and smiled.
"Well, there is actually something I want to do. Well, when you went all wolf, I didn't really get to see you…" I felt kind of silly, but if he was a wolf, I wanted to be able to see him as it.
"You want to see me go wolf?" He raised his eyebrows. When I nodded, he chuckled. "I guess I can do that."
"Good." I kissed him and then got off of him. "Then I'll have to go to Charlie's to pick up some of my stuff. He'll be at work. He must think I'm just rebelling because he hasn't called."
"Alright, let's go outside so we can get a move on with the day." He got off of the bed, still in just cut off's, and held my hand. He led me out to the yard and turned around. "Okay, stay here." He turned and walked towards the woods, but then turned back around. "Just, whatever you do, don't freak out. Okay?"
I nodded and sat down while he disappeared into the forest. A minute later, he came back out into the open, in wolf form. I gasped, and he stopped walking, head down.
"Get your furry ass over here, will you?" I giggled and moved to my knees.
He walked over to me, and sat down in front of me. As he sat, and with me on my knees, he was still about two feet taller. He dipped his head, and I gently began to pet his head. His hair, or I guess fur, was soft to the touch, and soothing.
"Okay, you can go human again." I smirked, and he smiled back, and trotted to the trees again.
When he came back he smiled. "So, not so bad, right?"
"No not at all. You kind of remind me of a dog I used to have." I slid my hand back in his and started to walk towards his car. I slipped into the passenger seat, and he went behind the wheel.
He drove to my house, and I slid out quickly. "Okay, Charlie is at work for now, but he comes home randomly sometimes, so we need to pack quickly, and leave quickly. I don't want him knowing about me being here, although I'll leave him a note…"
Nodding, he followed me into my room and looked around. "Okay, how can I be of help?"
"Um…take the boxes out to your car once they are filled." I pulled out several boxes and put them on my bed. I never really got rid of them after I moved back here, because I really didn't want to stay here. "So, what all should I take? Just clothes?"
He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me. "Take whatever you want, darling. If all goes well, you'll stay with me for a while." He gently rocked us back and forth.
"Okay, if I'm going to get anything packed, you need to stop distracting me." I giggled and pulled away.
Moving towards my closet, I started to pull out my jeans, skirts, and sweatshirts, throwing them all into the first two boxes. As Jacob took those two out, I filled the third box with my bras, tank tops, and bikinis. The fourth box was filled with shirts and shorts. Fifth had dress clothes and hygiene products. Sixth had shoes and just some things so I could remember my old life.
As Jacob took the last box to the car, I pulled out our note pad from the drawer and started to scribble Charlie a note. Charlie, Bella was right, Forks is too suffocating. I can't stand staying here anymore. I'm going to hitch hike cross country. Don't send everyone after me, and don't look for me. I'm happier this way. ~Rose.
I knew he had my cell phone number, and would just keep calling me. Cell phones were pretty cheat now a days, so I could just buy a new one. Just so he knew I no longer had it, I filled up a glass of water and placed it next to the note. Pulling my phone from my back pocket, I dropped it into the water.
Jacob walked back in then, and just looked at me. "What was that for?" He looked me over, and I just shrugged. "Alright, well let's get you out of here. It's not safe."
Nodding, I look one more time around the house. When we got back into the car, I leaned my head back against the seat and sighed. "So I'm thinking we take the semester off."
"Yeah, me to." He chuckled. "I'm done with school for a while. It's too difficult with the patrols and everything."
"Random question. How old are you? Seventeen? Eighteen?"
"Um…Technically I'm sixteen." Okay, sixteen wasn't that bad. I was only seventeen, so me being older wasn't a big deal. But what did he mean by technically?
"Technically?"
"Yeah…wolves don't age, unless they stop phasing." He peeked over at me, and I just rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"What other wolf shit have you not told me?" I was tired of all of these surprises.
"You'll find out as it comes along." He smiled and slid his hand in mine. "Trust me, it's mostly useless junk."
"It better be, because I'm not too fond of surprises." I pushed myself closer to him and leaned against him. "But I do love your warmth."
I smiled to myself. My life could be okay now. Start anew. I just hoped that redhead figured out that I wasn't Bella, but chances are, it wouldn't work out like that.
