Hiya everyone! So here's another chapter for you all to read. Hope you all enjoy it! =)

Songs for this chapter are "Love Drunk" by Boys like Girls, "O.M.G." by Usher feat. Will., and "Cherry Bomb" from The Runaways Soundtrack. I highly recommend hearing the music while reading, since it works for me.

Chapter 22 "Halloween"

JPOV (Jacob's POV)

"Natalie would you hurry up? You've been in the bathroom for almost TWO HOURS!"

What the hell is it with women taking so long to get ready? I mean how hard can it be? It took me less than an hour to get ready to be here, same goes with the guys.

We're all here at Natalie's, since the girls all wanted to get ready here just like when the homecoming dance, but this time it's the Halloween dance. So here we are, and they're still getting ready.

"Patience is a virtue Jacob Ephraim Black! You better get used to this."

Quil just started laughing; he's gonna meet his date up at the school. After the dance is over we're all coming back here just for the hell of it.

"Good thing I'm meeting up with my gal instead of having to wait for her to be all done. Bro I will never understand women in that department."

Sam huffed. "Ha! You think this is bad, just wait 'til you start living with them. There is not one bit of space that doesn't have anything that isn't Emily's." He started getting frustrated. "If it isn't clothes, its shoes, makeup, perfume, and the all those pieces of jewelry, and god the purses! I swear my house is gonna become a storage unit at any moment."

All we heard from upstairs were growls, either from Leah or Natalie. I could hear someone telling Emily what Sam was saying.

"Keep running that big ass mouth of yours Samuel Uley and no sex for a month!"

Damn Sam changed colors like crazy. The guys and I started cracking up at him, but then we all got shot down by our girls. That is to say everyone but Quil, since his imprint is still a baby.

The guys and I heard the girls talking upstairs.

"I swear they've become bigger pain in the asses than before."

"You said it Leah. He thinks we're bad? You didn't hear Sam saying how he leaves dirty boxers lying around, or rolled up socks inside his boots that are an atomic bomb for your nose. Oh, and another thing, he doesn't help with the cleaning, at all! Not even a damn dish!"

"Ladies ladies, calm down. We'll make them take it all back."

Since there was no word of them getting done, the guys and me went to the living room and sat to watch the Maxim special, and man what a blast.

Paul started it off. "Dude I would so do her."

"Ashley Greene? Who wouldn't?" Jared's eyes lit up.

"No way, hands down Angelina Jolie. Have you seen the bod? Damn what I'd do to get a piece of that. Fuck Brad, I'll make her have a good time." Quil…what the hell can I say? The dudes lost in that battle.

"What about you Jake? Which girl?"

"You can't expect me to answer that one Embry. Not possible…but if I had to choose…Jessica Biel."

"Ah man, no way! JT's girl?"

"Bro I won't lie, but I've had the biggest crush on her for years. I'd give anything to tap that. I mean the girl's body is banging; man I envy Justin! Can you imagine getting with these women?"

The guys and I were so into the bro talk that we didn't hear the girls come downstairs. Natalie cleared her throat. "You don't say Jacob. So, Jessica Biel?"

I speak for all us guys, that at that moment, we were all mutes. When I saw what Natalie was wearing, I swear my jaw was to the floor. She was dressed to match me.

We had both decided that since the dance was a costume party, that we'd go as a couple. So, after much arguing basically, we decided on going as gangsters.

Natalie's costume: hollywoodtoysandcostumes(dot)com(slash)15UA83079(dot)html?zmae=froogle&zmam=99371410&zmas=2&zmac=65&zmap=15UA83079

Jake's costume: shop(dot)halloweenadventure(dot)com(slash)chicago-gangster-male-xl-adult-mafia-50s-halloween-costume-p9236(dot)aspx?utm_medium=cse&utm_source=googlebase

But never in my mind had I ever thought that she'd look so damn good in her costume. Her costume was so fitting with her toned yet curvy body, that it was taking everything in me to not snatch her up from here. Seeing her in a short black miniskirt with the mid-thigh stockings, the heels, and the fedora were it for me.

Natalie started up, playing all calm. "So…what was it about Jessica Biel that you love? I'm interested in hearing it."

Quil stepped up for me, and for once I was grateful. "Oh come on Nat. You can't expect us guys to NOT talk about girls. That's just our nature. And besides, you can't tell me that you haven't dreamt of any actor in Hollywood."

For once Quil actually made her shut up! It took Nat a few seconds to get back to her old self.

Natalie started walking up to Quil, and man what a turn on. But it got me jealous that she was batting her lashes at him and not me. This is totally payback for what I said. "You know what Quil? You're right. You wanna know who my ideal guy would be?"

Quil just smiled. "Oh this I gotta hear. Lay it on my."

Natalie started smiling, and from the gleam in her eyes, her answer was a good one. "Gerard Butler in '300'. How about that? Then again…he's no competition."

The girls all started fantasizing about the guy. And I remember that movie especially that line me and the guys memorized, "this is Sparta!" but I know the reason why she fantasizes about him. I remember girls only going to see the movie because of the guy's abs, period!

"Oh my god Nat you hit the spot! God I wanted him to fuck me with those abs of his!"

Embry was pissed. "Cammi! You can't be serious! I mean…come on! I'm much better than fucking Butler!"

Veronica stepped in. "Sorry to burst your bubble Embry, but I gotta back up Cammi. I mean, did you see the sex scene? Besides, the girls and I watched the movie together, and let me tell you-"

"-it was a sauna in that living room! Period! No hot guys to relieve us of our poor misery!"

"Megan! I don't believe it. My girl fantasizes about a fucking European!"

"You think I'm not pissed Chaske? I just heard Veronica talk about her wanting to fuck the guy, and I'm here!"

"Oh quit your whining Paul. God I swear you're such a big ass baby."

"Megz did you see the guy? Oh my god I swear I was gonna have multiple orgasm syndrome for the rest of the night!"

"Steph! You too?"

"You can't blame us girls Seth. I mean…I'm with them too. I wanted to be fucked by a Spartan!"

Quil started busting out laughing, like the idiot he is. "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd hear Emily cuss. This shit is hilarious!"

"So Emily Young, you'd rather a Spartan please you than a big ass wolf?"

Leah got in the act too. "Would you all just shut the fuck up? Damn I swear you guys are fucking kids!"

"Just think of it like this fellas, where are our ladies at the end of the day?"

After hearing Spencer's take on things, the guys and I calmed down. In the end he's right; I spend every waking moment with Nattie, and that's how I plan to keep things.

"Alright enough arguing over hot people. Let's get going."

NPOV (Natalie's POV)

While on the way to the dance in Jake's mustang, I pushed the question from earlier.

"So enlighten me."

Jake looked confused. "On what?"

"On Jessica Biel. I'm…curious."

We pulled up to the school, and Jake was laughing like an idiot. It takes a lot to get me mad, but this is different. Since I'm Jake's imprint, plus the fact that I'm a wolf, I'm territorial. Just the idea of some chick with him…

I got out the car, and basically threw the door closed. I started walking toward the other, all of whom seemed to have worked out their issues. Sam and Emily look peaceful, same with the other girls, expect for Leah. I know for a fact that she's thinking just like me.

And Jake? Laughing like a complete idiot right now. I felt him try to take my hand, but I pulled away. He got in front of me, blocking me.

"Oh come on Natalie, you can't be mad at me."

I just ignored him and kept walking, and everyone was looking at us.

"OUCH! Jake just got the cold shoulder! You know Natalie…I could always ditch my date, and you could go with me."

"No fucking way Quil! I'll take it from here."

Jake grabbed me by the arm and pulled me toward the forest. I didn't resist it, since it worked. We kept walking into the woods, far away from the others.

Jake stopped and spun around to face me. "Now would you mind telling me what the hell is up with you? You're never like this Natalie."

I just started smiling, and it pissed him off. "I don't see what's so funny."

"Then you didn't realize that this is payback for talking about another woman in my house, especially when I can hear it."

He got smart. "Is this what this is all about?"

I just nodded at him. "So I'm paying the price because I talked about some chick that I'm never gonna meet? That's not fair."

"I never said it was fair. Of course…I can always imagine its Gerard every time I see you."

Jake just growled, and not a playful one, but a pissed off one. "Do you know what you do to me?"

"Hmm…I think I have a pretty good idea, but then again I might be wrong."

Jake pressed me against one of the trees, with no way out. I liked this side of Jake; the hot tempered one, because for some reason, it only heightened the sensations running through me. He started kissing all along my collarbone, then dipping his tongue into the hollow around my neck.

"Don't you see that you drive me crazy, and that just hearing you say that you want another…I lose control."

I couldn't help but smile, hearing him say that to me…even if in the woods. "And you don't think it's the same for me? Jake, I don't want any girl taking you away from me, ever."

"Then what are you worrying about?"

"It's just…insecurity, I guess."

When I saw Jake back at home, lord was a problem for me. I had never seen any gangster look as good as him. Seeing Jake in the black suit with white pin stripes, the fedora, and the mischievous look in his face almost made me forget about the others and everything.

Jake rested his hands on either cheek, and he made me look him in the eye. "Natalie, I'd rather kill myself than go against what I feel for you. Never doubt my love for you."

I just nodded. "Plus, we Latinas are very protective when it comes to our men."

Jake just laughed, but it was enough for me. He bent down to kiss me, but not with urgency, but with passion, yet soft and sweet. "You silly girl. Come on, let's get the party started."

JPOV (Jake's POV)

And with that we ended our lil, I don't even know what it was, and got back to the gang. I have to say that I had an awesome time, especially with my gangsta dressed up girl by my side. Every move, every touch, no matter how little it was, just made me want to take her.

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't contain the wolf inside me, wanting to claim what is mine. During one of the songs, I started playing with her neck, but she pulled away, shaking her head 'no'.

By the look in her eyes, I knew it was gonna get good later on tonight. "You just have to wait til later for…"

I couldn't help but smile. "For what pussycat?"

She feigned a scowl. "Hey I'm not that soft you know."

"Mmm. You're plenty soft for me."

"Do you get pleasure from using your charm on innocent girls?"

I just smiled. "Is it working?"

"Oh yea…especially with you in that costume."

She started running her hands up and down the front of my shirt, and pulling at the pants. "I never did tell you…you look too good right now Jacob. The costume suits you."

"I didn't tell you that you look sexy as hell either."

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)

I couldn't help but laugh while hearing the lyrics. Nattie even noticed. "What's so funny?"

"The lyrics."

"What about them?"

"They are how I feel with you."

Nattie listened closely to the lyrics. She was hurt. "You mean it's over?"

I had to laugh. Sometimes she's too slow, but I could care less. "No you…you goob. What I meant is that I'm love drunk because of you, but I love the feeling."

"Don't scare me like that you goob. I get the feeling, very well in fact."

I fell in love with shawty when I seen her on the dance floor
She was dancing sexy, pop, pop, popping, dropping, dropping low
Never ever has a lady hit me on the first sight
This was something special; this was just like dynamite
Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow
Honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow
Girl you know I'm loving your, loving your style
Check, check, check, check, check, checking you out like,
Ooh (oooh) she got it allll
Sexy from her head to the toes
And I want it all, it all, it all

"Remember this song Jake?"

I just nodded yes, since I didn't want to bring up what happened that night.

"You know…I never did finish dancing this song with you last time." She started blushing, and even under the lights, it was beautiful. "Do you wanna finish what we started?"

"I'd love you."

And that was how we stayed, right up until the dance. The whole gang we back to the cars, but we couldn't find Quil anywhere.

"Does anyone know where Quil is?"

"Oh I think I know what he's been doing alright."

We all turned toward the woods, where Quil was coming out, and tucking his shirt in. He had the look.

"Quil Altera, just where the… what's with the grin?"

"Well Natalie if you must know…"

Dude I so did not have to see what Quil had done in the woods with his date, and Natalie started cringing.

"Uh as if I need to see that!"

"Hey you asked, not my fault you don't like what just happened."

"So let me get this straight, you finally gave away the v-card?"

"Alright enough talk and lets get back to the house. Natalie says that the girls have something for us."

When we got to the house, the girls went straight upstairs to change, while us guys had to stay downstairs. While waiting for the girls, I noticed that there were mikes set up.

"Alright boys, how about a little music?"

Oh my god…

Dear god, thank you for sending me Natalie.

Natalie, along with the other girls, had all changed into other costumes, and damn! Natalie was now dressed as a cop, and a hot one at that. Short ass uniform, thigh high black leather boots, even the cuffs.

"Like the outfit…babe?"

"I guess you were right Natalie…the guys are a bunch of dummies right now. Same look on each of their faces."

"I told you Emily…my ideas never fail. Just look at Sam."

All the girls came up to us, and when Natalie stopped in front of me, oh my lord. Just what the hell did she think this was gonna do to me?

"Honey, you need to close your mouth. Plus, we're only gonna sing. And you fellas are the audience. Come on girls."

The girls went up to the mikes, and then music started blaring out the surround system.

"Cheery Bomb" by The Runaways Soundtrack

Can't stay at home, can't stay at school

Old folks say, ya poor little fool

Down the street I'm the girl next door

I'm the fox you've been waiting for

Natalie started twirling her hair like one of those girls in old rock music videos, and man that was hot! My girl was rocking out!

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

Hello world I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Hello world I'm your wild girl

She came up to me, and started pulling my hair. God what have I ever done to deserve this woman?

Have ya, grab ya til your sore

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Hello world I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

After Nattie and the girls performed, we all started doing karaoke, or whatever it was we were doing. Around like 2AM everyone started leaving for home. I was about to leave when Nattie stopped me.

"What is it babe?"

She looked embarrassed. "Will…will you stay with me tonight Jake?"

I just smiled at my angel. "Why do you look scared?"

She bit her lip. "It's just that…I don't want you thinking…"

I went and held her close. "Baby you don't have to worry about me. I told you, I'll wait as long as I have to for when you're ready."

"Did you want to get ready for bed?"

"Sure. Where do you want me to change?"

"Um…you wanna take a shower? I keep guy things here too, in case of emergency, you know. You can take one in my room. And while you're in the shower I can make us a late night snack. Sound good?"

"Sure sure babe. So…what you gonna make me?"

"Hmm…you'll just have to wait til I bring up to the room. Now," she got the newspaper and swatted my ass with it, "up to the shower."

"Yes ma'am."

That was the best shower ever. Her shower is all nice and big, and plenty of room for my big ass self. When I came in the room I saw that Nattie was changed in her jammies, fresh out of the shower, and with a huge breakfast tray on her bed.

"Breakfast? Babe it's almost three in the morning."

She plopped down on the mattress, patting the other side for me to sit. "I know, but I thought you'd like it. Since I saw you were gonna be in there for awhile, I homemade everything."

I sat down next to her. I kissed her softly on her shoulders, going slowly for her neck. "Did I ever tell you that I love your cooking?"

I nuzzled my nose on her neck, and she giggled in response. "Jake…are you gonna eat or tease me more?"

I pulled away. "Of course imma eat. I thought you were smarter than that."

"I guess you think with your stomach more than you should."

I stuffed a whole pancake in my mouth, and man was that good stuff too. I tasted the butter and something else.

"Chocolate chips?"

She started smiling after drinking some orange juice. "You would talk with your mouth full."

I swallowed. "My bad honey; I like the chocolate chips though. Hey are you gonna eat those?"

"Of course imma eat my pancakes. Just cause I'm a wolf doesn't mean I have to eat like a pig."

After we ate our share we washed up and got in bed. I pulled Natalie close to me, and I felt her relax herself.

"I love you Jake. Always."

I bent down to kiss her goodnight. "I love you too Nattie. Always."

That night was the first I stayed with Nattie, but it wouldn't be that last.
