A/N:Some of you guys have private messages locked, so I can't send you previews once you review. Okay you guys this is the moment we've all been waiting for and it only one of their encounters. They will meet again, because sadly for some of you I'm not done with Jacob and Nessie yet. Just don't kill me Blackwater fans and I hope you don't leave me once it's posted. :(
I had to get this chapter out to you guys, because you're all awesome readers and reviewers and you mean a lot to me, and that makes me work extra hard on getting these chapters out there.
On with Chapter 11! ;D
For the past forty-five minutes, I've been standing by this window looking for Leah to come back from her letting off some steam trip. I was beginning to get worried about her, when I didn't see her nowhere in sight. I've made Leah this mad that she couldn't stand to be in her own home to calm down.
I guess that's exactly what I get for doing the things I did and straight out betrayed her. It still pains me how much I'm hurting quite a bit of people around me. Crazy thing to say, but the look on Nessie's face hurt me deep. I have no idea what these instant feelings came from, but they are there and I can't deny them as much as I want to.
Still that isn't going to stop me from choosing her over Leah. She comes first and she always will be. Fuck, where the hell is she at? I just hope to hell that she didn't run all the way to Embry's. Speaking of that motherfucker how could he? I mean was I seriously blindsided by his motives towards Leah. I would never consider her of such a thing, because that would be hypocritical of me.
Still, where does he come off? Thinking he could be the white knight and sweep her off her feet. That guy has got some nerve. Fuck, so do I.
Being so deep in my thoughts, I didn't even see Leah come in with the same scowl look on her face. She took off her jacket and placed it on the coat rack. She sighed and walked over to me in an almost slow matter, at least to me.
She stood in front of me and pushed her hair off from the left side of her shoulder and just stared at me. This is new.
I couldn't stand not to touch her when she's this close and grabbed on to her waist and pulled her directly between my legs. I gently brushed some of her radiant hair out of her eyes and gently touched her cheek. Her eyes closed and I took that as a good sign to continue.
Fuck, I didn't know how much I've missed her until now. Her soft and beautiful tan skin that shined in this dark room. I know how corny as fuck that sounded, but it's true. As I was leaning forward, she shot her eyes opened and jerked away from me. Which hurts like shit.
"I'm going to turn in for tonight." She said as she pried my hands from off her waist. I nodded and my hands fell slack to my sides.
"Alright, umm…Good night." I told her. She just nodded her head and walked upstairs without another glance at me. I was debating whether or not to go back to our bed to sleep or if she's still pissed at me and wanted me to stay on the couch.
I wanted to be in the same bed and same room as Leah, so I'll just take a chance and go into the bedroom. If she let me caress her for so long, then there shouldn't be a problem towards being in the same bed.
About five minutes later of bitching on whether or not is it really okay, I opened the bedroom door slowly not wanting to disturb her.
There she was, still fast asleep and with a calm look on her face. I was glad that she could at least be like that in her dreams, since in reality I'm making that scowl appear on her face.
I stripped down to my boxers and quietly got under the covers, trying my best not to bother her. In the end, the bed moved her body until I was situated the position I wanted to be in.
I now faced Leah's back and just stared at her, until I fell fast asleep twenty minutes later. Just the fact, that Leah was giving me a chance to redeem myself is all the power I need to win her back.
The sound of the loud as fuck alarm went off and I immediately rushed to turn it off. I looked over my shoulder to see the bed was empty and jumped up as fast as I can to see if she really left this early.
It was only 7:15, so I know that she wasn't going to leave so early, because she likes to arrive on campus five minutes before classes start. Plus, Embry's ass said he was going to be here at a certain time, so I know she's here.
As I hit the bottom of the stairs, I heard two voices coming from the kitchen and I knew from the second that Embry was here. The fucker came early too. Again, what's his deal? I decided to stay on the staircase and listen. Not make any suggestions, until I feel like I can walk in as if I wasn't listening.
"So are you okay today?" Embry asked carefully.
"Yeah…Why shouldn't I be?" Leah asked in a ticked off manner.
"It's just you seem really pissed off when I left you last night and I hope that Jacob didn't do anything to make it any worse on you. He's got to be fucking kidding me? He's trying to start shit.
"There's nothing to worry about Embry. Jacob and I are going out tonight to discuss this and to see if there's a way around this thing." Embry signed and cut in again.
"Going out? Are you sure that's a great idea? I mean…you're giving him another chance so soon…" I'm about three seconds away from clocking this dude in the face.
"I'm not giving him another chance and if I am, what business would that be of yours?" Leah asked with a snarky attitude. That's my girl
"Sorry, it's just…I'm looking out for you and seeing you take him back so quickly would not be healthy for your relationship." Bullshit, this guy's feeding.
"Well, if I ever need your advice, I'll make sure to ask, but as of now you have no right." I heard feet scattering around the kitchen, before I saw Leah and Embry walk out to face me in the stairway.
"Nosy much?" She crossed her arms over her chest and smirked.
"Not really, I do live here. So you guys been talking about me? It sounded as if it was going to get into more." I know I shouldn't have asked like an ass, but Embry started this shit first.
"Not really. Well I'm going to head out. See you later." Leah said with no emotion whatsoever. I still smiled and walked over towards her and gave her a hug. To my surprise she hugged me back, while Embry was glaring at me. I gave him the finger, before releasing Leah.
I watched as they both got into the car and drove off. I got myself ready and headed off to work hoping to run into Embry and say a few words to him.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't watch where I was walking and ran straight into someone. I didn't fall, but I quickly grabbed the small figure and to notice that it was Nessie on her phone and with a surprised look on her face.
"I'll call you back." She said and that voice on the other end screamed not to hang up, but she did and rushed over to her desk and sat down.
Call me crazy, but there was something off about her today. Was she really taking what I said and actually doing it. She looked a bit on the edge to and that worried me for her.
I stepped into her cubicle and sat down on the table, while she continued to stare at her blank computer screen. She was so spaced out that I was beginning to get scared if she didn't answer me quickly.
"Why are you talking to me? I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with me." She spat. Still, no matter what I try to tell myself…I can't keep myself away.
"Because, you seem down and I want to know why you're so spacey?" Nessie looked at me and turned away.
"It doesn't concern you, if that's what you're getting at?" Fuck I can't get this right.
"Ness...I'm just worried about how you're looking and whether you like it or not." She looked at me and nodded, before turning around fully in her chair to face me.
"This afternoon is the funeral for my sister in-law and for the past few days since her death I haven't been thinking much about her or her memory. I've been fixated on you and now I see how much of a bitch I've been." I could tell that this was literally eating her up, and to say that I didn't like to see this side of her.
"Nessie, you'll have the rest of your life to remember your sister in-law and to go back to what you've done together. Don't beat yourself up, because you moved on with your life, I don't think that she'll want you to beat yourself over forgetting her memory, because once you do something that reminded you of her, that's when it will come." I knew this by what happened with my mom, back when I was a kid. So I knew all about losing a loved one and all.
"Jacob, why are you helping me? I mean really I thought you hated me. I'm not trying to sound all...you know, but it's just a question that's been sticking in my mind." She's right. Why can't I just leave her alone? That's something that I haven't even discussed with myself.
"I don't hate you...Not by a long shot. I don't have to tell you for the millionth time, who I'm committed to and I can't do that to her, but I can't turn off and walk past that sad look on your face. I just can't." She nodded softly and gently smiled.
"Alright...Thanks for the advice and from now on, I'm going to follow everything and listen to all the advice she gave me, before she died. That's a way for remembering her, she was the one and only person that gave out good advice to my problems." She looked at her fingers, before running them through her hair. "Thanks for that Jacob I really needed that."
"Don't worry about it, just go to the funeral and say what you need to say to her." I reached up and caressed her neck softly out of instinct. "Be safe, when you go out there." I don't know what's came over me, but I've grown to care about this side of Nessie.
"Well, I'm going to head over to my brother's place and we're going over there together. But, seriously thank you for that." She leaned closer to kiss the corner of my mouth. She got up and walked away from the cubicle, without a look back.
For the first time, I didn't have any foreshadowing or regrets about what just happened. Actually, it was the most honest moment between us and I liked that. Maybe, this friendship thing could be good if Nessie doesn't take anything far, still she didn't even try anything. Damn, there I go foreshadowing again.
I got back to work and contacting the companies' taxes I was finishing up on and figuring out the best place to take Leah out for dinner. It had to be the perfect place, some place that she'll actually enjoy the food, if she can't stomach my apologies. I settled on 13 Coins the best steak restaurant in Seattle. They had live music and there was a good atmosphere at that place, which it's most famous for. I text Leah letting her know that we're going there around 5 PM. She responded okay, but I knew that I had to go all out to get her into good terms with me.
Back at home, I was dressed in crisp dark washed jeans and Perry Ellis black suede shoes, with a blue plaid buttoned up shirt. It was around 4:25 and I was sitting in the living room waiting for Leah, and thinking of ways to instantly woo her, if that's the right term. I had a bouquet of flowers in my hands ready to surprise her and maybe get a sincere smile to show on that gorgeous face, instead of the scowl, even though that's hot too.
Footsteps coming down the stairs and I quickly got myself situated and brushed myself off and brought the bouquet of flowers that we're sitting on the coffee-table, and brought them in-front of me to surprise her. As it turned out I was in for a surprise once she waltzed into the room looking absolutely beautiful.
She was dressed in this cheetah-print strapless mid-length dress and these hot as hell black shiny heels. Her hair was bone-straight and she added some bangs. Fuck, what I won't give to toss her on this couch and take her.
She raised her eyebrows at my expression and walked closer to my frozen figure. Why can't I get a fucking grip? She placed her arms around my shoulders and looked up at me with this dangerous, sex look in her eyes. Talk about instant hard on...
"So are those for me?" She looked at the flowers and I raised them up a bit for her to see them more. You ass, of course she could see them. "You seem distracted...Why is that?" She whispered as she took the flowers out of my hands and placed them on the table.
"You look amazing." I gasped out. I probably sounded like a bitch. "You're ready to head out?" I had to leave before I bend her ass over and that would not be good for me.
"Sure, you don't look so bad yourself." She said seductively as she dragged her finger on the middle of my neck. I couldn't help myself and pulled her in for a kiss that not only broke something out of me, but Leah as well.
We both clung onto one another and put as much passion into that kiss as much as possible. I tried my best not wanting to ruin the perfection that Leah has created with herself, but I licked her lips wanting to taste her so badly and when she opened her mouth, it made me the happiest I've ever been. She wanted this, just as much as I did.
So soon, Leah pulled away from me with a smug of make-up in sight. She was still looking great, but it was all too soon, before she grabbed the flowers and grabbed my hand as we headed into the kitchen. It was back to silence as she grabbed an empty vase and poured water into it and placed in on the dining room table.
"Thanks for the flowers...They're really nice." She said and looked up at me with a smirk.
"Anything for you." She nodded and rubbed her hands on her dress. "Ready to eat?" I asked to cut out this crazy tension.
"Thought you'll never ask." I could tell she was nervous, but there was no reason to be, tonight was going to be a good night for us to patch things up...hopefully.
The ride to the restaurant was normal as usual, not one of us talking. Just the sound of the radio filled the conversation for us. I knew that the dinner couldn't be like this. We had to talk, I mean for fuck's sake we were about to bang not too long ago. It only took around 15 minutes to get to 13 Coins and just like I thought it was packed, but not crazy-stupid packed.
We walked up the stairs of the restaurant and were greeted by an over-friendly waiter. Who asked us how many, as if he couldn't tell, but I wasn't an ass about it. He showed us to our seats. We we're seated in the far back of the restaurant, which I found perfect since I wanted her to have my full attention.
"This is nice, Jacob. You know that I've wanted to eat out here for a while now." She smiled at me. I reached over the table and grabbed her hand inside mine and gently massaged it.
"Don't mention it, babe. Listen I had to do it in order for you to see how truly sorry I am and that I'm all for you and only you. No matter how far I got off track, you're still it for me and I'm dead serious about that."
"Jake...you can't obviously think that I'm going to just get up and forgive you for planning to fuck someone that isn't me. I mean how does that shit sound to you? I mean that shit can do something to a girl's ego that you want to fuck someone else, like I couldn't do what I do good in the bedroom." Might as well face it now
"Leah...I really can't explain what or why I did it, but all I know it that I'm attracted to her and I let my head cloud what my heart feels for you and baby, I do love you..." As I continued to hold her hand, I could feel her's slipping right from under mine. "All I can ask for is for you to forgive me and trust that I didn't go far with her, because I couldn't babe."
"You know what...I'll slowly give you a chance, sense you are making an effort to try to make it better, but still Jake..." I gripped her hand harder and reached over the table to lift her chin so she could meet my eyes.
"Baby, please forgive me. You are my heart and I want nothing, but for us to move on from this." She just stared into my eyes and we got lost into one another's, until the preppy waiter came back and asked us what we wanted to drink. We both ordered bottled beers and decided to wait before we ordered our meals.
We continued to talk and casually began to flirt with one another. Our hands were still inseparable throughout the night. We were all smiles as we ate our steaks that were fully cooked with asparagus and baked potatoes as our sides. The night was soon turning out for the best, that is until I heard a familiar giggle come from a few tables down from us.
I looked up from Leah to see Nessie incredibly close to one of the guys that I recognized from work. His hands were groping every curve of her body and she was just giggling as if it was cute. It made me fucking sick to my stomach.
"Who are you looking at like that?" Leah suddenly asked as she turned around to see Nessie waving at us. I mean really, waving at us. As I got a better look at her, I could tell that she was drunk off her ass. Damn Ness.
"Hello you guys! This restaurant is just fabulous, right?" Nessie asked with a smug attitude. Leah turned to look back at me with a demon look in her eyes and I knew that this is going to be one hell of a night.
"Did you tell her that we're going to be here?" Leah angrily asked.
"No. Why the fuck would I do that Leah? That doesn't make any sense." I got vicious at how she accused me of inviting Nessie. I mean how stupid can I person get why they decide to invite the one girl you want to experience a roll in the sack with you having dinner with your girlfriend. Really...
"I don't know, Jacob. Since, this shit has blown I don't even know who you are anymore! To think I was going to forgive you." What?
"Leah, you are misunderstanding the situation. I have no idea Nessie was going to be here at all." As if this shit was getting any wore Nessie just had to open her mouth.
"Leah, Leah, Leah, Jacob didn't plan this at all. I'm just getting a few drinks in and right now you're killing that fucking mood with your constant bitching." She spat.
Leah got up from her chair and I reached over to try to pull her back. "Don't you fucking dare!" she sneered.
"Leah, this shit is really unnecessary." I sneered right back. Leah pulled my hand off of her and made her way to Nessie's table with the quiet douche.
"Bitching... You've got some nerve, slut. You try to take my man from under me, that's really cold. You're just one pathetic woman that you couldn't find your own that you had to steal someone else's." From what I've learned from my father is to never get into a woman's discussion that is if you're ready to get your ass kicked too.
"Actually, it's not stealing once your man wants it and trust me, he wanted my pussy bad. He still does, but he still wants your ass. For some fucking reason…but don't worry, bitch I will try again." Leah decked Nessie so hard in the jaw that she fell back in her seat onto the floor.
"You fuck...bitch!" Nessie quickly recovered and got up running over to Leah who was walking back to our table and grabbed her hair to spin her around to punch her in the face. I couldn't just sit here anymore and let this fight go on. That Douche Bag Smiley Faced Bastard was enjoying this shit as if it was Sunday Night Football.
I got up from my chair and got in-between those two. Both of their hair was tousled and all over their face as I tried to pry them apart. Each of my arms was holding each of them by their shoulders as they each tried to claw at one another over me.
"Jake, you need to control that whore!" Leah screeched and scratched Nessie on the face.
"Jake, you need to put that dog on a fucking leash. Fucking scratching me..." She didn't finish as Nessie scratched her face as well. As they continued to basically beat my ass to grab a hold of one of the other. Fuck, I was getting tired.
"Ness... Go home. Now!" I've had enough
"You're drunk off your ass and you're making this night worse by fighting over some shit." I pulled Leah behind me and held onto both of her wrists from behind me. Finally that douche bag decided to make an appearance by placed his arm around Nessie, but even though she was drunk off her ass she basically threw his arm off of her. She growled in our direction, and I've never seen her so pissed. I can feel Leah's breath on my neck as she struggled to get back to Nessie.
It was easy to see that they wanted to kill each other and it's my entire fault.
"Take me home." She groaned to him. I knew that this wasn't such a good idea, since they were both drunk. I looked at Nessie, and her face was filled with rage as she ran her finger down scarred cheek and glared at Leah.
"This isn't over, bitch. You'll get yours one way or the other." Nessie exclaimed towards Leah. Her face was red with fury as she stared back and forth between us. Leah struggled against my grip and I made sure to hold her tighter.
"Your right this isn't over. I'm going to finish your slutty ass, if it's the last thing I do." Leah spat back as vicious as I'd ever heard came out of her mouth.
Nessie stormed out the restaurant with the douche dragging behind her and as soon as she was away I let Leah go. When I did let her go, she pushed me in the chest.
"Why did you break it up? I just about had that bitch where I wanted her?" She was just acting out now and I wasn't going to play into it.
"What the fuck were you thinking anyway? That a little whoop ass was going to solve it, she was clearly drunk and you could've just ignored her." I paid the bill and left it on the table. "You know what, this night isn't over." I grabbing Leah by her forearm and practically dragged her all the way to the car. Not all the shoving the world from Leah was going to stop my motivation, for fucking up this night.
I will get my rekindled back with Leah tonight...
