Fate
Disclaimers in first chapter! Love you all my lovely reviewers!! :)
It felt like I was in heaven. There was this warm aura around me as I slep and even a sense of protection. There was a husky scent in the air as I curled in as close as I could to this feeling of my version of heaven.
It was strange but I could feel something running through my hair as if a hand and I kept dreaming the word imprint...the book had really gotten to me.
When I felt like my body couldnt take any more sleep, I opened my eyes to see that my ideal heaven was actually Jacob's' doing. If anyone would walk in, we would look like the couples you would see on TV. My leg during the night had rested onto of Jacob's waist and his arm was around my shoulder with his other in my hair. Sure it was a sticky situation, but Jacob was still sleeping and I couldnt move while he was...we were kinda linked to one another.
Since his eyes were closed I took the opportunity to take a better look at him: I knew that he had dark brown eyes that when he smiled looked like suns rays. His hair was around to the middle of the back of his neck with could almost pass for black if when the light didnt shine his dark brown color. He had a strong jawline and a really cute dimple when he would smile...his mouth was perfect as it was nice and plump but it wasnt fat...yeah he had nice lips.
"You know its rude to stare." His lips moved as hie eyes remained closed.
I felt my own eyes blink as I smirked, "Well theres not much I can do while your arm is around my shoulder."
He then opened his dark eyes that had a hint of sleepiness but was covered by more alertness. Jacob looked over me to see that he was indeed holding me quite close to him when we were sleeping. He didnt move when he settled back down.
"Do you want me to move?" he asked looking back at me.
I never did this! I didnt let a guy I knew for such a short time snuggled so close to me and wear his clothes. Maybe moving wasnt such a good idea.
Even though I knew this was against everything that I had been taught and held as a personal value, there was something about Jacob that made me feel like...well I could.
"No." I replied closing my eyes not wanting to see what his face would be.
"Kara do you believe in fate?"
My eyes opened and I laughed, "Your dad asked me the same thing last night."
His eyes perked up, "Really? What did you say?" he asked as I felt his hand play with my brown wavy hair.
"Well I more or less laughed and thought about it when I took a shower."
"So...?"
"Well I dont know Jake. I mean there could be forces that are at work which we cant even begin to comprehend!"
Jacob stared at me with a confused look.
"I stole that from the X-Files." I confessed as I laughed at his face.
His face broke into a smile and leaned in close as he placed a kiss on my forehead. I felt my whole body temperature rise at least 20 degrees. Wow that was unexpected.
"I want to know what Kara thinks, not Fox Mulder." he replied not moving away. When he talked I could feel the vibration of his throat on my head.
"What are you getting at?"
"I just want to know what you think..."
I looked up as far as I could, "Is this about that thing in your book?" I asked.
Jacob leaned on one arm and stared at me, "What part?"
"I dont know because the pages were missing."
"You mean imprinting?" he said as his voice seemed to get caught in his throat.
"Yes! What is that?" I asked getting excited as I leaned up on my elbows as if I was going to hear an amazing story.
Jacob looked as if he was going to tell me, but then his scheming smirk came on his face, "I'll tell you when your older."
"JAKE!" I cried jumping on him as he had a small play fight on his bed. "Do not use that line on me!" I cried lightly hitting him as I felt his leg go between mine and soon I was on the bottom of the bed and Jake on top.
"What line?" he asked looking very primal in our position.
It wasnt getting so awkward anymore...damn I didnt want a fling!
"Umm...you know that one..." I said my stupid mind going blank.
He chuckled, "What...old?"
I slapped his chest, "Yes that one!" I hated the idea of being older than I guy...but in this case I was pretty close to making an exception...
Jacob leaned on his elbows as he rested his body lightly on mine, "So fate?" he asked.
"Fate? Still with this topic?" I asked running a hand through his hair. His face looked like he was waiting for me to touch him with such affection. I used to dream about guys like this, but when its right in front of you, a part of you wants to run!...While the other part wants you to stay.
"Oh no!" I said placing a hand on my head.
"What?" Jacob asked lifting his weight off of me as if he was the one that caused me pain.
"I cant drink down here!"
Jacob raised an eyebrow, "Your sad because you cant drink down here?"
My eyes met his, "Do you know how good a Long Island Ice Tea would taste on a day like this?"
He laughed and went back down to his crouched position like we were before. "Fate..."
I rolled my eyes, "You wont get off this topic if I dont answer it right?"
"Right."
"Ok I'll tell you what I think about fate. I think that fate can always be changed, but there are certain factors that come into play. You can be at the right place at the right time, but do something completely different than what fate had intended. I believe that we still have free will even though fate lays the path before us. We have a choice to walk the path in a straight line, or we can stumbled off of it but get back on...thats when the path changes."
Jacob seemed to be looking intently at me as I explained my thoughts. "Do you get it?" I asked him hoping that I didnt sound stupid or worse confuse the poor guy.
"Yeah I do...interesting." he said sneeking up closer.
"So would you follow the path to kiss me right now, or are you going to stumble a bit and kiss me later?"
"Thats my choice in fate?" I asked trying to sneak in closer to the pillow and wall.
"Yupp pretty much." he said as he got closer.
Ok Kara he had you in a wall...literally! I could totally be the bad girl and rush into something like this, or I could be the good girl and miss out on this opportunity to kiss a really hot guy that was practically sliding up my body! Wow this wasnt going to be hard! If only my friends could see me now...they would ask where the hell their friend was!
As he got closer I felt butterflies in my stomach as he was about an eyelash distance away from me, and those perfect lips were in my sight.
so like Jacob asked me, I decided to take the straight path and see where this would lead... I met his lips and at that moment I knew things were going to be much more interesting...
