AN: Thanks for all the love you guys are showing! Some of your reviews were cracking me the hell up! No worries everybody, the wonderful and kind FeathersEverywhere has so graciously volunteered to, and I quote, "Give Edward a good roll in the hay to wash away the dirty whore (Mrs. Newton) touching him!" She said she would sacrifice herself. Feathers, how selfless of you girl! Lol!
DreamTeam approved!

That´s What Little Girls Are Made Of...
Chapter Eighty-Nine
BPOV
Technically, much to Edward´s chagrin, Jacob and I were still a couple. Edward almost blew a gasket when he showed up at Christmas time to see me.
Jacob Black remained a point of contingency between Edward and me.
Although, he never came right out and said it, I knew that he didn´t approve of our relationship.
Why, I just couldn´t seem to understand.
Jake returned to Hoquiam for the holidays, and surprised me by stopping by. To his credit, he had been sick with worry for me, and just wanted to make sure I was doing alright.
Unfortunately, I was in no condition to see him before I left Chicago, so we had only been in touch though text messages, emails, and eventually, when I was up to it, we started Skype-ing.
The football season had ended well for Jacob, and he was now a permanent fixture on the Northwestern team, along with Seth, who was now a starter as well.
I laughed at the memory of Jacob knocking on the front door and coming face-to-face with a very angry looking and overprotective Edward. He also brought with him a much unexpected Christmas present, and to see the small gift trembling in his oversized hands as he stuttered out his request was painful to watch.
I actually felt sorry for the poor guy.
For a minute, when Edward tucked me possessively into his side, I thought he was going to pee on me, he was hovering so closely.
It took some convincing, but, eventually, Edward saw that Jacob was harmless and started to relax, marginally. It also didn´t hurt that Em, Jazz, Rose, and Alice had come in to town for the holidays and acted as a buffer. I was even allowed to spend the day in Hoquiam with Jacob´s mother and extended family. They were all so welcoming.
Of course, Edward called and texted me so many times that it actually felt like he was there.
I was never happier to see a day come to end than I was that one, and I believe that Edward was too. Needless-to-say, I wasn´t allowed to go again.
Despite Edward´s caveman tendencies, I was glad that I was able to maintain my relationships from the summer. Angela and I had already made plans to be roommates in the fall, so that was one less thing that I had to worry about.
Angela and Seth´s relationship was still ongoing, and they also took the time to stop in and visit while they were in La Push with Seth´s family for New Year´s. Thankfully, Edward treated them a lot better than he did Jacob. He even agreed to let me go to a movie in Port Angeles with them, but, only after I assured him that Jacob had already returned to Chicago.
Edward Cullen is such an enigma!
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year´s were the hardest to get through. There were days when Edward and I just laid in bed wrapped in each other´s arms, shutting out the rest of the world, so it was good to lose myself in my friends and forget about my own problems for a little while.
Leave me some love! Every morning when I wake-up at 5am, I smile knowing that my inbox will be full of love!
