All of you are simply amazing. I was flooded with so many alerts that my little heart just about exploded. Thank you so very much. I hope this chapter makes it up to you (despite the fact it's short). The end was my favorite to write even if it felt like forever while I was editing it. Please review or alert, I don't mind either. I love you all so much.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and plot.

As I stood outside of the school the next morning, I regretted my outfit of choice. A skirt, even paired with leggings, wasn't the best thing to wear when we were getting closer and closer to December. Today was the day I was supposed to go over to Jacob's house to find some type of information that would prove he was, indeed, a werewolf. I would do it in the only way I knew, to seduce him. I just wish this skirt wasn't involved. I shivered and shimmied for warmth and decided to go in, that is until I saw Sam walk up to the school with her new best friend: the LaPush Crew. She looked me over then went back to her conversation with Quil, probably about steroids. "Hey" Adam said coming up on my side. He was covered up from head to toe in fabric. Before I could comment, he shook his head and held up his hand. "I know. Mom went crazy during Christmas shopping"

"But it's not-"

"You know that. I know that...she doesn't." He told me then let out a weak laugh. His eyes ran over Sam who was still in conversation with Quil; they seemed to be very close. "Let's go inside-"

"Charlie!" Jacob called; his entire group stopped and turned their attention to me. I guess he intended for me to go over to him. The wave he sent over told me my guess was correct. Adam nudged me with his shoulder with a half-smile.

"I'll only go over if you go with me" I whispered to him. The group was watching my every move with baited breath; it made my nerves go on end. "Should I?" I asked then looked to his face. A single eyebrow was raised and his lips pouted.

"Yeah. Come on" He grabbed my hand in his own gloved palm and pulled me closer. I released a sigh when his body warmth met my freezing skin. Adam let out a snicker and a smirk, the old Adam showed. "You shouldn't have worn something so...unwarm. Being the kind man I am, I shall be your heater" He released his grip on my hand and put his arm around my shoulders. "You should know better," As we walked toward the group of inhumanly large people he continued with his joke. "You live in Washington, silly." The nervous laughter he let out revealed his real emotion: fear. Fear of coming being around Samantha, his best friend who ditched him for the guys who used to make his life a living hell. "You have to dress for it"

As we got closer, the look on Jacob's face grew grim until it finally slipped into anger. "Cisneros," His dark eyes were concentrated on the lack of space there was between me and my friend. I cuddled closer to him for comfort. "Nice seeing you" Adam only gave a nod as he grip on me tightened. "Nice seeing you too, Charlie" Jacob added on with a smile. He held his arms out for a hug and, again, everyone's eyes went to me. Adam dropped his arm and brought his hands up to his mouth to blow heat onto them. Slowly, and awkwardly, I went into his arms and was glad I did. Heat practically swallowed me as his arms wrapped around my torso tightly. A sigh escaped my mouth and I regretted it as soon as I felt the rumble from his chest, the thing he called a laugh.

I wanted to remove myself then go inside of the school with Adam and let Jacob leave my mind, but I felt like I couldn't. A cough came from one of his friends and I yanked myself away. "I'll see you later. Adam, come on" I speed quickly then grabbed his hand and pulled him with me towards the school. It was obvious Adam had enough of being around Sam; I had enough of being around Jacob and his friends.

At the end of the day I stood by my locker and watched as snow fell outside of the window. What if Jacob and Co. were the LaPush werewolves? What would I do? What could I do? Would he kill me? Doubt it. He had feelings for me. That was obvious, he wouldn't hurt me. As my mind went over the many scenarios that would never happen, steaming hot hands were placed over my eyes; it scared the crap out of me. "Shit!"

"Calm down, it's just me" Jacob purred as he dropped his hands from my eyes and down to his sides. He leaned on the lockers with a grin. "I didn't mean to scare you, sorry. So," He bit his bottom lip and ran his brown eyes over the entirety of me slowly. I don't think he knew how attractive he was, or maybe he did and was playing it to his advantage. Either way I was enjoying it. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah" We began our walk outside but I stopped as soon as Jacob through open the door. A shiver racked my body and a hiss left my lips.

"I bet you wouldn't be cold if you wore an actual jacket"

"This is a jacket," I fought back with a faux glare. "It's just very...fashionable" I held out my arm that was covered by my dark green shrug, Technically the weather man said it wouldn't be this cold, this was the last time I ever listened to him.

"As fashionable as it may be, it's not very efficient. I'd say you take mine"

"But you'll freeze" I rebutted.

"No I won't. Trust me" He told me while ripping off his jacket and handing it to me. I slipped it on and was drowned in his scent and warmth. "Come on" Before I could even bask in the wonderfulness that is essence de Jacob, he pulled me out into the freezing air. I sang curses as the frigid air cut at my face. When we were safe in his car and the heat was on blast, I thanked him a thousand times over.

"Your jacket is perfect" I grabbed for his hand but pulled it away. It was still hot as hell fire. Even being out for a few seconds made my hands freezing.

"What's wrong?" I shook my head and mumbled "Nothing". We got to his house quickly and pulled another Mission Impossible to get into the house. I looked around Jacob cozy little home as he helped me take off my jacket...despite the fact I didn't need help for the simple task. "Sorry about the mess" He said then walked to the couch and threw the jacket on the couch.

"It's fine." I dismissed while smoothing out my skirt; I saw Jacob watching and gave a grin. There was a reason I wore this skirt. I had to have evidence. The first place to look: the living room. I walked around the room running my eyes over the pictures that hung on the walls and sat on the tables. Some were of him as a baby, some with his full family, others of only him and his sisters. "You were a cute kid..."

"You thought I was cute?" Jacob asked cockily when he walked to my side to look at pictures with me. I shoved him a bit, he didn't move, and gave a little laugh.

"Yes but you were horrible so I didn't care that you were cute." I corrected. He nodded and touched the top of the picture.

"Sorry"

"Let's not start on that," The living room gave nothing away, other than the fact that he and his dad lived a messy life. I could only hope that the bathroom held something. "Can I use your bathroom?" When I got to the bathroom I snooped around in the shower and mirror but only found typical male products. It was disappointing. I left without actually "using" the bathroom and found Jacob in the kitchen.

"I'm going to get us something to drink. My room's in the back" I followed his implied instructions and found myself in his empty room. I looked around, kicking clothes around and moving things. There had to be something that would tell me he was a werewolf. Nothing but old clothes were on the floor. "Dammit" I could hear Jacob coming down the hall so I jumped back to my spot on his bed. The door opened and Jacob stood there with glasses of lemonade.

"No hot chocolate but lemonade" He said then handed me a glassed. I smiled and he sat down beside me, his weight pushed the bed down quite a bit. For a while it was quiet as we sipped on the wonderful drinks till Jacob broke it with a cough.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah...So, how are you?" He asked. I shrugged and continued looking around the room for something, until my eyes landed on something that gave me my answer. The wolf tattoo on his arm. Had I ever seen it? If I did, how could I forget it? Especially on an arm like his. "Like it?" I looked up and saw him looking down at me with a small smile. I nodded.

"It's a wolf, right?" I asked. It could've been a fish if I squinted my eye.

"Yeah. It's a wolf." Perfect. I was getting closer and closer to it being hard evidence.

"That's awesome" I complimented. "Werewolves are awesome" I added on. His smile grew ten times (I had no idea that was possible) and his cheeks took on a blushed tint. Oh, God, if that wasn't a sign he had something to do with wolves, I didn't know what was. I began to trace the outline of the mark.

"I guess. I know some stories about them. I could tell you some time, only if you wanted"

"That'd be nice. I've always found wolves interesting" This was a lie, but it was the only way I could think of to get on his good side when it came to the magical creatures. "I can remember my dad telling me stories about them. They always seemed so...strong," He raised his eyebrows. "Powerful," He nodded. "Great" Jacob bit his lip. I had him. He had to be a werewolf. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Definitely. I mean...I've never really believed in the stories," Bull. "But...they are pretty interesting. Maybe one day you'll run into some" I smiled and pulled my hands from his tattoo.

"Maybe" I felt a little bad for using my "sex appeal" on him, but what else was I supposed to do? We finally found our way to the living room and watched television for about an hour. While channel surfing, I came across an old black and white film about werewolves. Thank the TV gods for being so ironic. "Ironic" I said as I turned up the set.

"What is?" Jacob asked barely paying me any attention. He was scarfing down nachos without giving me a glance.

"We were just talking about werewolves" He nodded then gave me a side glance. I smiled. "It must be awesome. Being a werewolf and all" He just about chocked on his snack. I couldn't help but giggle as he coughed and sputtered for air.

"Me? A werewolf? No. No. No. I couldn't. They're not real." Cue nervous laughter. "Charlie you're-"

"I was talking about in general. Jeez. You act as if I believe in them" Now was time to seal the deal. This would guarantee me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was a werewolf. Time to take back the compliments. "I mean...I doubt they exist. Then again it'd be horrifying to meet one in real life." With a quick peek over to Jacob I knew it was working. "The furry face the claws and insane teeth."

"They can't be that bad"

"As if. Think about the dog breath-yuck. And the mood swings whenever the full moon was around"

"Not all wolves answer to the moon" He was getting defensive.

"Whatever. They're cool on screen but not someone you take home to mother. I could never see myself with a werewolf guy" When I finished my faux rant, I looked to Jacob and saw him concentrating on me. I wanted to take back what I said but I couldn't. It was for research.

"Hm" Was all he said. He changed the channel to The Price is Right and that was the end of discussion on werewolves for the time being. After a while of television, Billy came home to find us playing cards in the middle of the floor. "Hey, dad" He called to his father. Billy nodded a greeting as he brushed snow off his clothes.

"Nice to see you, Charlie" I returned it and let Jacob win the round. "Are you staying for dinner?"

"Nope. Actually I should be getting home soon. Rain check?"

"I'd say snow check. They're calling for a snow storm tonight" Billy said as he brought his wheelchair over to the living room area. "Is your mom coming to pick you up?"

"I'm driving her" Jacob said as he shuffled the deck then placed them on the tiny coffee table. Billy bid us goodbye and left us alone. "Today was fun" Jacob said as his head lay back on the couch cushion. I agreed and watched as he stared up at the ceiling with his lying on his stomach. "We should do this again"

"I second that" My phone vibrated in my pocket quickly; I had a text. I looked at it and saw a picture of Adam. His message read:

Hola sexy mama. What're you up to?

I texted back quickly telling him I was sitting in Jacob's house. I got a response back immediately.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I did exactly that. My first picture I took of Jacob not paying attention; he realized what I was doing and attempted to grab for the phone. "What's wrong? Evil doesn't show up on film?" I joked as he practically sailed over me. I pulled away but he pulled me back.

"You would know." He shouted victoriously as he held it.

"Come on. Please." After a few seconds of pouting I got the phone back and took pictures of the two of us. About 20 pictures later, I was bundled up in Jacob's jacket and headed out to his car. "You're not completely boring, Black"

"You're not completely horrible, Torrez" When we got to my house we said our goodbyes, promised to have another get together, then I was back in the house and he was off.

"Have a good time?" My mom asked from the kitchen as I uploaded the pictures to Facebook. I told her I did and she went on about how she knew I would. I rolled my eyes and kept with what I was doing.
