"So, how long have you been in care?" Jacob asked.
We'd spent hours talking about him and everything in general, the rain had started to get worse so we had to move in off the porch and now apparently it was my turn to get the Spanish Inquisition.
We were back in the kitchen attempting to make tea for the second time. I grinned as I watched Jacob, this would be interesting.
Trying to avoid the question just asked, I gestured to the kettle "Mines black with 2 sugars" I stood next to him leaning on the counter.
He looked at me his eyes dangerously intense "Come on, you can tell me. I know it can't be easy for you. But please?" I rolled my eyes and sighed, he just wasn't giving up.
"Seventeen years too long" I tore my eyes away from his, looking down at the mug in my hands pretending to be interested in it
"It must have been hard for you?" he sounded nervous in asking, like he wanted to push for information but he didn't want to push too hard at the same time.
I decided to give him the honest answer "You learn not to care, Jake."
I looked up at him as he started to analyse me
"Don't give me that, I can tell by your face it's upsetting for you." He moved, standing in front of me. He pinned me up against the counter, as he reached above my head getting out the sugar. The heat from his body was intense locking eyes with him I felt mine widen in surprise that he could call my bluff so easily. After a few beats I realised what I was doing and looked away.
"Yea, I guess it was hard" I mumbled. He unpinned me returning back to my side.
We spent ages talking, squashed on his little sofa together. Well I did most of the talking he asked thousands of questions about me and my past, and surprisingly the tea was actually really nice!
Jacob asked everything from where I first lived to how many peopled id lived wit. He asked how long id been friends with Emily and about why I was always in trouble, although he didn't judge like so many other people would have when I told him about the amount of times id been in trouble with the Police. He also had no comment about the fact that id been on tag not two days ago. He even asked me about my past boyfriends! I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a bit personal but I answered him anyway. 'Yes I've had a couple. Nothing serious though.'
He started to shake when I mentioned some of their names and told him some stories of breakups and things, it scared me a little bit but I think he could tell because he stopped instantly and apologised.
When I finally managed to get a break from talking non-stop I realised it was dark out, I couldn't believe how much time had passed! The time I'd spent with him had just completely flown by
"Do you fancy coming back to mine or something?" I asked nervously. The thought of being away from him unsettled me for some strange reason, but it was the best and only thing I could come up with that would allow me to keep him for longer.
"I'd love to Angel" he smiled warmly at me before his face took on a sad expression "but I have pack duties tonight"
I pouted a little "Oh, okay" we were really close together on the tiny sofa, I just wanted him to lean in a little bit more so I could kiss his beautiful lips.
But he didn't.
"Come on, ill drive you home" Grabbing my hand pulling me up off the sofa, I don't think I will ever get used to the way his skin feels against mine. Jacob didn't let my hand go as he reached for his car keys on the side, before we went through the front door. So I thought I'd push my luck and lace my fingers through his. He still didn't let go.
He didn't let go as we ran to his car either... well he did let go of my hand so I could get in the car -obviously. Given half the chance I would have held his hand all the way home, but he had to change gears, so it was pointless. He kept looking at me all the time though, making me blush… much to my disdain.
The ride was over all too soon, and we were back outside the house. I looked at the grand building with sad eyes knowing that he'd have to leave me soon. Jake looked at me with a sympathetic look "Come on" getting out of the car I joined him, he took my hand again fingers laced and walked me to the door.
"I really wish I didn't have to patrol tonight-" he sighed deeply, running his hand through his hair in defeat "But I have to pull my weight. Ill call you tomorrow and we can maybe arrange to meet up tomorrow night?" He looked so hopeful that I'd say yes, with his cute puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah" I smiled "that would be great"
"Good, I've had an amazing day today Kate" his eyes turned thoughtful and he added "More amazing than you can imagine. Thank you" He touched my cheek gently.
"Yeah I had a great time too"
Jake suddenly leaned in and kissed my cheek, his hot lips felt amazing against my cool skin. Sighing again he turned and ran back to his car shouting over his shoulder.
"Speak to you tomorrow!"
Then he was gone, okay he it wasn't that quick but it sure as hell felt like. I watched with his tail lights fade as he wound his way down the long drive, disgruntled at the sudden feeling of loss that had overcome me.
Back inside I followed the voices up to the living room. I came up the top of the stairs to find: Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Ness and Emily all sitting on the sofas in the living room with a load of DVD's spread out on the coffee table. I noticed that here was no Seth though.
"Kate! Come on we're going to watch a movie!" Ness sounded so excited about this I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Alright" I walked over to them all, and plopped myself down next to Emily. Looking at Nessie I asked "No Seth tonight?"
"No" she frowned a little "he's got pack duties tonight" Nodding I remembered he was part of the pack too.
We ended up watching 'Death At A Funeral' – you know the one with Chris Rock. It was really good, we all had a great laugh stuffing in all kinds of sweets and junk food, well only me Emily and Ness stuffed in the junk food but everyone else had a just as much fun.
Emmett made me laugh the entire time so much my sides eventually started to hurt.
And just like that, I felt like I really was family.
