Woohoo! Next chapter! Good, huh? X3

I got two questions that were actually kinda interesting...

Firstly, how old is Lily? Um... I THINK she's 17... I think. Yes, she's defenitly 17. I hadn't really thought about it, to tell the truth. It might be... "unprofessional" of me, but that's the way it is. Please forgive me for not making it clear!

Secondly, why am I not using "these marks" when people are speaking. THAT is because my stupid Swedish teacher told me that I shouldn't use "these" marks when someone's talking... I used to, but she told me not to. So I stopped. If people want me to do so, because it makes what I write easier to read, then I will. Consider it done until the next chapter.

Now, enjoy.

Chapter 14

He was sleeping in one of the beds at our motel room. He looked so beautiful I just wanted to scream. But I avoided doing so, for it would certainly wake him up. He looked younger as he slept. The worry and anger in his features were completely gone.

So, I just sat there, watching him, and thought about how much that had happened in such a short time. Now I could really think it all through. I came to the conclusion that I should just go along with what the others thought best… unless I didn't like the outcome.

- This is really a mess… I whispered and lay down on the bed. I looked at Jacob, and found he was awake and looking at me.

- It's really troublesome to sleep when you're not sleeping with me… he said bluntly and I laughed and shrugged.

- You seemed to manage just fine moments ago, I stated and he winced.

- I was clearly awake.

- Sure, sure, I teased and he played chocked. Then I got up and walked over to his bed, sitting down next to him. I moved my hands over his bare chest, smiling as he inhaled and seemed to hold his breath. He closed his eyes and a bright smile spread across his face.

- Does your pack know we're coming? I suddenly asked and he opened his eyes to look at me. He looked scared.

- Your dad called Sam and told them we were coming… we're meeting up outside the res, he explained and I nodded. I lay down my head on his chest, enjoying the warmth and listening to the lulling sound of his heartbeat. Although, it did seem to beat a bit faster than it should.

- When did he tell you this? I asked and Jacob grimaced.

- He didn't. Edward did… he replied and I nodded.

- I see… I sighed and then sat up. Looking down at him, I was filled with such a mix of emotions I felt like screaming again. Guilt, love, depression, anger, comfort, discomfort, all in a hopeless mix. All of a sudden he sat up to, wrapping his arms around me. He kissed my forehead and then just held me tight.

- Don't you dare go think down on yourself again. Stop it right now, he whispered and I sighed.

- I can't help it… I just… I felt tears beginning to spill and I didn't bother wiping them away.

- Shh… hush, he whispered. He continued to whisper soft words to me caress my hair and kiss my face, until I stopped crying. I looked down at my wrists. The scars stood out as if I'd drawn them with ink. Jacob caressed my wrists with his big hands, and I closed my eyes.

- How old are you? I then asked, and he seemed a bit startled by the question.

- Um… wow, I'm 21 years old… he realized and I started to draw circles on his arm with my right finger.

- I hope you don't sit there and think you're too young for me…

- How long will you look like you're 25? I interrupted and Jacob leant his chin on my head.

- Probably for a while, he confessed and I sighed again. I felt him shift behind me, so he now sat with his legs crossed. He lifted me up so I was sitting in his lap, and he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

- Lily, have I really explained what imprinting is? He whispered and I nodded slowly.

- You said it was like love at first sight, but stronger, I whispered back and he laughed slightly before kissing the back of my head.

- Well, the wolves in my pack only have one imprint. One woman that we are destined to meet. Destined to protect and care for. Destined to love. There is no other woman for me besides you… he said seriously and I felt my whole body just melt at his words. It filled me with such hope I barely dared to breathe.

- If you hadn't been a werewolf, then you wouldn't have fallen in love with me, I stated and he laughed and ruffled my hair.

- You bet I would've! Who wouldn't fall in love with you? He laughed and I looked down at the floor. I sighed and then closed my eyes.

- Can we sleep? I asked and he brushed the hair from my neck and nibbled it gently. Then he let go of me, and I stood up. At that point I changed my mind.

I turned around, grabbed his face with my hands and pressed my lips against his. Surprised as he was, he just sat there at first, but then responded into the kiss, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me close again. I moved my fingers lightly over his skin, giving him goose bumps wherever I touched.

He broke away from the kiss and leant his forehead against mine.

- Didn't you want to sleep? He asked and I smiled shyly.

- I changed my mind, I replied bluntly and he laughed and moved his hands underneath my sweater. I gasped as he moved one inside my jeans to squeeze a buttock, while the other traveled up against my back. I moved so I sat astride his legs, and kissed his face all over. I felt so warm. As if I was burning up. It felt as if my skin would start to crackle any second, and I leant my cheek on his shoulder.

- I love you, I love you, I love you, I whispered in his ear, and he hugged me tight, holding a hand on my head and another on my back.

I opened my eyes to see Jacob sitting up next to me, leaning against the wall. He was looking down at me while caressing my head, and his whole being radiated of joy.

- Morning love, he whispered and moved his hand over my cheek. I took the hand and kissed its palm.

- Morning, I replied and yawned. I felt better than I had in a long time, and I laughed as he smiled widely at me. He bent down and kissed my head.

- As much as I'd love to stay here and veg out all day, we have to get going, I stated and sat up, not caring about covering my chest. I blushed as I saw Jacob looking appreciating at my body. I got up from the bed and went to my bag to get clean clothes.

When I came out, Jacob was dressed. I winced when I thought about him arriving after 4 ½ years, looking like a hobo.

- We should get you some clothes, I stated and he grinned at me.

- Not necessary…

- We should get you some clothes, I interrupted and he laughed.

- I'm telling you, we can wait until we've settled in at the res. They won't mind, he promised and I sighed. He grabbed my bag and we left the room.

As we were up and running again, I felt panic starting to rise from the pit of my stomach again. I pressed it down, but it kept on boiling under the surface, eager to get out when I let go of the lid.

HAHA!! I felt like being mean, waiting another chapter before they arrive at La Push! Sorry.

But I really had to re-read the three books before I wanted to write about La Push. And doing so, made me want to re-write the whole story, to tell the truth. I won't though, since I don't have the willpower to pull something like that through... X3

So, until next time...
