Nessie's POV

~*~*~*~*~*

I am SO stupid!

I clung to Jacob feeling the maturity I had preached about slip an age bracket. I lashed out at him, and he actually looked as scared as I was about this ending.

I did that to him!! Now I had one more thing in common with Bella.

I hurt my Jacob.

My guilty washed over me like a rain storm. I shuttered as I dug my fingers into his shoulder blade as I kissed his neck "I can't believe I did this" I said.

"Stop it Ness. You were angry over the circumstances so we had a little spat. Do me a big favor and don't dwell on this. I forgave you. Where do you want to start?" Jacob asked.

"At the beginning" I whispered as I untangled my legs from his waist.

"No I mean where you want to start the Q&A. We could stay out here, we could go to the house, or we could go somewhere completely different." Jacob explained as he set my feet on solid ground.

"Oh. I want to stay here. We run less of a chance at an interruption." I said looking up.

Jacob reached out taking my face into his hands, and ran his fingers through the tangled curls. As I studied his eyes, looking as deep as I could, while he made sure to touch the outline of my face with his thumbs. My senses heightened to the warmth against my face as my guilt faded away. His eyes moved from mine, to my lips, where his thumb tantalized my bottom lip. I brushed the tip of my tongue against his finger tip previewing the taste of his flesh. Jacob's thumb slipped between my teeth voluntarily as I bit down softly.

"That doesn't hurt you know, it tickles. " Jacob said.

I sucked lightly getting a hint of his blood. It made the hair on my neck stand to attention as the delicacy dancing with my taste buds. The seductiveness of his flavor was like my own drug, although it was never enough for me to attack him. I always said that I could never harm him in that way. Dad told me that while mom was human he had to exert an insane amount of control. There had been numerous times when he wanted to bleed her dry. Eventually he became use to her aroma and it didn't bother him as much.

"I know" I whispered releasing his thumb.

Jacob cupped my chin with his index finger still examining my lips, "I should have told you everything before now. The night that I found you here is the day I should have explained it all to you."

I smiled as I wrapped my fingers around his forearm. Jacob shook like a cold chill ran through his body, "Stop it Jake. You were dazzled by a silly, golden haired, little brat. Don't dwell on this because I forgive you, and I want to know everything about imprinting and about Bella." I smirked.

I was shocked when my jaw clinched at my mother's name. Jacob seemed a little unnerved to my reaction as his eyebrows furrowed.

"I know that you are possessive over me, which I find it incredibly sexy, but don't hate her for this. It happened to me and I certain don't hate Bella. I'm grateful. I acted like an ass to her as well, so you may as well be angry with me." Jacob said.

"Grateful?" my eyes landed to his bare chest. I reached my right hand out pressing where his heart pumped, feeling the vibrations against my palm. The skin to skin contact sent my pulse into overdrive as Jacob's arm went to his side. I saw his stomach tighten as I felt the soft grunt leave his chest.

I looked up to his face as his lips pursed together as his breathing changed. Jacob's eyes were closed for a moment before he looked directly down to me.

"She broke it." I whispered.

"Yes." Jacob breathed; his voice was deeper than usual.

"How" I mumbled.

"Your dad left her after a birthday party. She was broken until we began hanging out here in La Push. She found two motorcycles and wanted me to fix them for her." Jake began.

The heat rushing through my body wasn't from the lustful atmosphere. Motorcycles are OUR thing! She could have had the decency to at least HELP him fix her damn bike. I examined his eyes looking for a hint of the pain resurfacing. I witnessed a longing in his eyes but not for moments buried in the past of what could have been. Instead the hypnotizing blackness bore holes into the darkest part of my soul. That secret area inside I kept to myself and I hadn't even allowed him to see.

I wanted to let go of everything inside of me and say that I was his to take. My lips pulled apart as I took a single step forward pressing a little harder. I wanted to protect him from what might come back to his mind. I wanted to save him all over again.

"She didn't help you?" I asked.

"Financially but if you could see how clumsy your mom had been, you wouldn't trust her with a box of feathers" his arm rose again caressing my cheek with the back of his hand, sending shock waves through my body, "you probably think our bonding over motorcycles is another way that I am keeping her with me ."

I think I shook my head while I tried to swallow, actually I couldn't think of anything.

"Good." Jake replied.

"S-so she broke your heart by finding bikes?" I asked.

Jake snorted shaking his head, "I wish it had been that easy. We hung out the entire time Edward had been away. We were around each other 24/7, and when you are around someone that much things happen. "

"You fell for…her" I said.

"Yup and then Alice showed up. You mom went cliff diving alone and damn near drowned. About a year ago I learned it gave her the ability to hear Eddie's voice in her head. Alice saw the vision of her jumping, so one thing lead to another, and Edward thought she was dead. This was partly my fault because of a miscommunication. Your dad left for Volterra to have himself killed once he found out. Alice came here to tell your mom and they left." Jacob explained.

Holy shit.

"She picked dad over you." I said looking to my hand on his chest.

"Yes. I was hurt and disgusted at the same time. Back then I didn't understand the complexity of the situation until I found you. Honestly Ness if that was us I would have done the same thing. That's why I don't want you to hate her for any of this. Would you jump to hear my voice in your head? Would you go to Volterra if you thought I died? Maybe you would come back to me if I walked away to keep you safe." Jacob asked.

Damn it.

"I would walk through fire for you, but she hurt you. That couldn't have been easy for you to take after bringing her back to a life" I was trying to be angry but I understood every thing my parents had done.

"It's all pretty rational when you put us into the equation huh?" Jacob asked.

"I guess so. Why did you stick by her once she picked him? It would have been smarter to just let her go right then." I shook my head.

"If I told you to get lost would you do it?" Jacob asked.

I snorted looking up to his eyes as he smirked, "you know the answer so what is the point of answering?"

"Because of the bloodsuckers verses the pack mentality I tried to cut communication. The Cullens were my enemy and Bella chose her side, obviously it wasn't mine."

I squeezed every bit of oxygen from my lungs, making a huffed sound with my nose. I felt my nostrils flair as my lips drew into a tight line.

"What." I said through my teeth.

"Down girl. She loved Eddie and not me. It's not her fault that I didn't take the hint. Did I tell you that I kissed her without permission?" Jacob explained.

"Not-the-point. If you cut communication how were you there the night I was born! Why would you kiss her without permission?" I said, my voice raising an octave.

"I did it out of pure stupidity, and I was trying to prove that she loved me too. But she punched me in retaliation though it doesn't make up for what I did." Jacob said.

"I hate to say this but you did kind of deserve that one." I said making a face.

"It's okay we are being honest. The first time that I tried to cu…" Jacob began.

"The first time!?" I growled taking another step to him.

I closed my eyes concentrating on Jake's heart beating against my hand. The more that he explained about his past the angrier I became. How could mom have pulled him back in like that? Bella had made her choice so she should have left it alone. Although, without the specific course that their lives took intertwined like a delicate spider web, then I wouldn't have my Jacob.

"Yes the first time. It was just after they had returned from Volterra, and like you, I was hurt. So I wrote her a letter telling her that nothing had changed she made her choice." Jacob explained.

I looked to my hand over his heart again before I stepped into his body, resting my forehead against his chest. I felt him stiffen beneath me as his abs rippled against my forearms.

"What brought you back to her?" I asked removing my hand pressing my lips to his chest.

Jacob's POV

~*~*~*~*~

It was like she pressed directly on a nerve that caused a string of electricity to impact everything inside of me.

I have never had a Q&A like this one.

Nessie turned her head while her fingertips feathered down my chest, "Are you going to answer?" Nessie asked.

"You are driving me insane." I whispered.

Nessie smirked victoriously, her little ritual of tempting me had almost cruel. In an attempt to retaliate, I slipped my hand just beneath the hem of her top, my fingers gliding over the small amount of flesh just above her jeans. Nessie whimpered as she dug her fingers into my side with a jolt.

Payback!

I ran my other hand through her curls grabbing a fist full near the back of her head, tilting her face to me. Our eyes were the last thing to meet. This is harder than I thought, the delectable color of her molten chocolate eyes said I could take her right now. I knew that she wouldn't stop me just like I didn't stop her last night.

I wanted to take her right now. My sisters knew that we were probably working things out, they wouldn't interrupt. Billy and Charlie believe we are working on the bike, they wouldn't interrupt. Eddie isn't close enough to barge in on us. Trust me he would have by now with the thoughts of what I wanted to do to her dancing in my head.

But taking her right now would be too easy. I released her waist and took her face into my hands. I leaned down slowly as her lips parted slightly in preparation.

I'm about to die.

And I like it!

I brushed my nose against hers hearing the faint gasp informing me that this was working. I leaned in feathering my lips to hers, before pulling back with a grin.

"Now you know how it feels!" I laughed releasing her.

"JACOB!" Nessie gasped as her jaw dropped to the floor.

Part of my wanted to slap myself for being so stupid, but the victory of my attempt had far too great of a taste. I grinned to her as I turned walking to the back of the garage.

Over the summer Billy had decided to FINALLY get a new couch and we put the old one out here. I reached out removing the old bed sheets that we had draped over the terracotta sofa.

"I have a question." I asked.

I turned to look at Nessie who was walking to me with a foldable beach chair.

"Couch" I pointed.

"Uh no! You opened this can of worms and now I want to play." Nessie smirked.

Oh crap.

I flopped back on the middle of the couch watching her. Nessie opened the beach chair placing it just in front of me before she sat down. Nessie sunk down in the chair, propping her feet on the small section of the sofa between my legs. There had been a good three inches of space between each foot and my legs. I know that they are just her feet but she was that close to me. I looked to her eyes and swore that they were glowing.

I sat up as she propped her elbow on the arm of the chair twirling one of her curls. I reached down to touch the skin beneath her pants leg before she smirked.

"If you touch me then I will get up, walk from the building, and report to the big house. And then everything becomes supervised between us." Nessie explained.

The raw silkiness of her voice sent chills up my spine. I flopped back against the sofa staring at her as her milk chocolate eyes burned my soul.

That was MY girl! How the hell did this happen?

"What are we going to do about that promise?" I asked.

"What promise?" Nessie replied.

"The one I made saying that I would be your friend until you were older." I said.

"Like I said, what promise?" she smirked.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes. They made all of these decisions for me and now it's my turn to make my own choices. Do you really want to go back to just friends?"

"I don't think I can." I said.

"Well there is your answer. I am not losing you to them and unlike her I chose you over Edward. Now as we were discussing, what brought you back to her?" Nessie asked.
