Chapter 16
The waves splash on the beach as me and Jacob enjoy a silent lunch. I thought it was nice to chill with him after everything has between us. It was a week ago. It is awkwardness. How do you go forward after this?
Jacob eats a lobster eggroll while I chew on a bologna sandwich. I look out onto the water then back at him. "What?" "Am I coming off too strong?" I ask. I feel like I am. "You think you are?" He ask wiping his hands on his shorts.
"A little bit. Lunch out of nowhere. I've never did this before. This is odd." He reaches into the container and grab another eggroll. "A little bit." He say eating. I bet. I won't do it again.
"So how is the patrolling?" On and off. It's been a few vampire scents around the forest." He seriously say. You have to always stay in the game. "I really do miss it. I don't know what happened." I say shrugging.
"Trauma. Your anatomy. A lot of reasons that we think of." "You mean wanting to be a girly girl?" I ask. "I think it might have to do with the Kairo Pack. New members are coming in." He say brushing me off. "Oh. I didn't know that." I softly say.
"Mad?" He ask grinning. "Not mad. Just think it is my mentality. I didn't want this lifestyle. A spine injur-" "That you healed from." Sam say walking up behind me. I turn around to see him and Paul walking towards us.
"What's going on?" I ask Jacob confused. "Nothing. They patrol. Calm down." He say grabbing his third eggroll. "Oh." I say feeling stupid. I thought it was a set-up. "So you two are dating?" "No, Sam." He say grabbing the container and holding it up. "Real delicious." Sam takes one and hold it out to Paul. He don't take it.
I laugh. Sam eats it. "It is good. What is it?" "Lobster eggroll." Jacob say sitting the container back on the blanket. "I made them. Just came into my mind." I say smiling. "Like being together?" "Yeah. Just grew close over the weeks." He say looking at. And, I'm glad that we did.
"Bella." "Still in my heart, Sam. Just enjoying time with Mia." He say smiling. Sam stares in his face. "Enjo-" "You two had sex." He say cutting me off. "One time." We both admit. "One time. Did you use a condom?" He angrily ask. "No." We both say.
"It was unexpected." "And, I thought I can't get pre-" "We don't know, Mia. Let me talk to you, Jacob." "Okay, Sam." He say getting up. "Is this talk gonna be all day?" I ask. I'm really sleepy. "It will be. Pack up. Go home." I nod my head putting the food back into the containers. I grab all of the items including the blanket and walk across the beach.
Paul follows behind me. I stop and turn around to face him. "What?" I ask surprised. Did I do something wrong? Jacob looks at Sam. "I want us to try again." He say. "Try what?" "A relationship. Him and Rachel are not together." Sam say. "I'm sorry to hear that but I'm not interested, Paul. What is Leah doing?" I ask grinning.
What is she doing in her life? "Living her life." Paul answers looking in my face. "I'm sorry but I'm dating Jacob." I say pointing to him. "We're not dating, Sam." He say. "What are you two doing?" "Getting close." We both say. "Just being normal teenagers. Don't go backward now when yo-" "I want us." Paul say stepping up to me.
"It is n-" "Let me speak to you in private." Sam say walking across the beach. Jacob follows. "Paul, it is no us. That was months ago. Things has changed. I ain't got nothing for you. Don't let Sam get you looking crazy." I turn around and start my walk across the beach.
He don't follow me this time. Good! He knows I'm right. "That was months ago. Now, you got Mia placed as though she's sloppy seconds for Paul." Jacob say. "How it looks?" "Everybody knows how it looks, Sam. We thought you were done with that but I guess not." He say. He must not be. With attitudes and personality like that, I don't want to be near that mess.
I'm in the living room taking off my clothes while Jacob is in the bathroom taking a shower. It is almost 7. I have yet to make dinner but when I arrived home, I made sure to tell Marcus what the heck was going on. Just weird, disgusting, and horrible that you would think after 3 to 4 months that I would still be interested in you.
Paul, you blew it! You moved me into your house and had the nerve to continue a sexual relationship with Leah. That's disgusting. Then, you was all for your imprint. Now, whatever is happening in the relationship turned your interest off for her. I am definitely not interested.
I walk across the living room naked and head down the hall. The sound of the shower gets louder as I head for the bathroom door. I grin picking up speed and putting my hand on the doorknob. I open it up to see a white curtain surrounding the bathtub.
"What you want, Mia?" Jacob ask. "A lot of things, Jacob." I say walking in and closing the door behind me. I walk across the floor and pull the curtain back. Not like I haven't already seen him naked.
"Coming in?" Oh, that's an invitation. "Yeah." I say getting in the tub with him. The cold water hits the back of my skin. "That is a little bit cold." He closes the curtain. "I'm too hot." "You are." I say rubbing on his chest. "So this is how it's going to be?" He ask looking down at me.
"Yeah. I'm crushing on you very hard." "I don't want you to think that this will be serious. I still have feelings for Bella." He say. I nod listening to his words. How you have feelings for her but you're doing me? I don't understand that. I stand on my tippy toes and wrap my arms around his neck.
"I still love Bella." He say. "I know you do. We're just taking things slow." "This is fast. One time was enough. I'm not trying to be a father." He say taking my arms from around his neck. "Jacob, my growth of my a-" "Not taking that chance, Mia. I'm not being a dad." He say reaching past me and turning off the showerhead.
"Okay." I say. He steps out. I climb on the tub and jump on his back. "Get off me." "What for? You already had it on you." He heavily breathe out. I climb off him and get on the floor. I walk around him. "Not trying to be a dad." He say. "Jacob, my uterus is frozen. If it is a pregnancy, we'll take care of it." "What an abortion?" He ask with an attitude.
"Yeah! Women have ab-" "You're crazy." He say shaking his head. "You're 17. I'm 17. If it is, would you want it?" "I don't know." He softly say. "Nor do I. I think we do need to slow things down. I would love if we went on dates." I say shrugging my shoulder. I would love dates.
"I'm not going out dates with you, Mia." "So basically nothing?" I ask hurt. "Nothing. Nothing more nor nothing less." He say trying to walk pass me but I block him. "Are you serious?" "Yeah. My heart is with Bella. Basically, what this is does not compare to what I have for Bella." He bluntly say.
"Alright, Jacob." I say turning around and quickly bending over. He roughly grab my hips. "Don't do that." He strongly say. I stand back up grabbing his hands. "So what are we supposed to do?" I ask leaning back into his warmth. He don't answer my question. I grab his hands and wrap his arms around me. This comfort feels amazing.
I close my eyes and smile when he softly kisses my neck. It shows me signs that he does have strong feelings for me. I open the bathroom door and lead him out. I walk him across the hall into his room and close the door behind us. I lead him over to his bed. I sit him down.
I sit on his lap. My breasts sit in his face. He put his hands on my waist staring up at me. "I love Bella." "I know you do. I'm just conflicted. You're my first everything. I don't know what to do." I say running my fingers across his lips. He stares into my eyes as I bring my lips onto his.
I'm in the living room folding my clothes and placing them in plastic garbage bags. When Jacob patrolled earlier this morning, his member seen what we did last night. Sam told Marcus. Now, I'm being told to move out of the house.
"Didn't know you and Jacob were over here doing this." He say. "Both are teens left in a house together. She shouldn't have to move cause Sam wants her with Paul." Lincoln say. "How I see it. I can smell him a mile away on his way over here." Shawn say looking out of the kitchen window.
"Better than seducing and playing on Jacob's feelings for unprotected sex. You talked to your mother?" Marcus asks me. "Mom got a new boyfriend. She said that I am not welcomed as always. This is the shit that Sam put me in to be fucking second garbage for his cousin while the rest got their parents!" I spit out.
"I know it is. For that I don't like him but I respect him as a great leader. Your choice not to be around Paul nor Sam." "Maybe, I should leave this tribe." I say shrugging.
"And, where would you go?" Lincoln ask. "Why ask that question? She's not leaving." "She's 17 years old. Her mother does not want her. She's not phasing. She can go anywhere that she want. She can leave tonight and would you know?" "No. I would not." He say looking at me.
"My chance to explore. Sam is not my Alpha and damn don't like him for thinking that I would want his cousin. I don't want Paul. If I leave, I might run into my imprint. Once I imprint, they won't dare to come between me and my soulmate."
"I'm pretty sure that he'll still flaunt his cousin. I don't think now is the righ-" "Already decided. I have no place to live so I'll be going to a homeless shelter for tonight." I say throwing the rest of my clothes in the garbage bag. "You can stay with us." He say. "Your house be smelling like salmon and Cheetos." I snidely say.
Lincoln and Shawn laugh. "My girlfriend had a yeast infection that day." He growls out. "I mean your imprint. She just wants to find hers." "And, find out how to live. Sam threw my entire life in Hell by grounded me to his cousin. Me, my mom, my sister, and Alexander. This is what Sam did to my family. No Christmas. No Thanksgiving. No nothing. I'm done with it."
I don't have nothing else to say to Sam. I'm done with this pack. "I think it should've been done a long time ago when he first did that." Lincoln say. "Well, he is no longer my Alpha. I'll going be going to a homeless shelter. I'll contact you later." I say throwing my two garbage bags on my back.
"Paul is outside in the back." Marcus say. "What Paul gotta do with me? Him and his damn cousin is the reason I can't with my family to see my grandmother for Thanksgiving!" I angrily spit out walking to the front door. "I'm sor-" "Not my daddy." I say grabbing the front doorknob and opening the door. "Just call us." Shawn say. "I'll call." I say going out of the house.
