Perfect Tragedy
"No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along."
Joyce Brothers
Chapter 9
Kagome awoke; the crisp morning air had let itself in through her window. She looked out the window and smiled. Today was going to be a great day and she knew that it would be. Slowly, she rose from her bed and went to the rest room that was in the middle of the hall. She took a quick shower and came out wearing a blue tank top that complimented her eyes, and a pair of black skinny jeans. She went back into her room and blow dried her hair and straightened it.
It was naturally wavy and curly at the bottom but today she felt like straightening it. She put o her pair of black and white vans and went down stairs. As soon as she came to the foot of the stairs the phone began to ring. She walked towards it and answered it. "Hello Swan residence, Kagome speaking," she said.
"Oh, hey Kagome," said a mysterious voice from the other end.
"Hello, Jacob. How're you," she asked.
"Good and you?"
"Good. So what do you want?"
"I'm stunned Kagome, you think that I'm sort of criminal. Don't you," he asked.
She laughed. "No."
"That's good then. So do you want to come over to my house for a cook out?"
"Sure, I'll be right over. Is Embry and Quil going to be there?"
"Always are. So much that they pretty much live here."
She laughed again. "I'll see you when I get there. Ok?"
"Sure thing. Bye, I'll see you then."
"Bye," she replied as she hung up the phone.
She quickly ran outside and hoped into her blue Honda Civic and was off. Once she got there, she was greeted by all of her friends, each one hugging her, and saying hello. She just smiled and continued on doing what she had already started. She was so glad that everyone that was there was able to make it. Especially, Jacob. Just the thought of his name sent her heart into relapse. He knew how to make her turned red in a heartbeat, or so she thought.
"Hello Kagome," said Billy.
"Hello Billy, so how've you been," she replied.
"Good, and you?"
"Good."
"That excellent to hear. So how's school going?"
"It's going well, thanks for asking."
"Oh, you're welcome. Well, I'll be leaving now. Your dad wants to go back to his house and watch the game over there. You know you teenagers are loud."
"I know. I'll see you later soon."
"The same to you. Bye Kagome," he said as he waved and walked out the front door.
She just stood there.
"Hey Kagome," said Jacob with a smile on his face.
She didn't know is that he loved her. The same way that she loved him. The casual glance of her blue-gray eyes made his heart explode. He couldn't help but love her. She had saved him all those years ago. He knew that she probably didn't remember but he did. She was like some kind of mystical being. She killed the monster and turned him into ash. She was his savior. Now, he vowed would be his turn to protect her. No matter what happened to himself.
"Hi Jake. Nice party," she replied looking into his deep brown eyes.
"Thanks. So do you want anything to eat?"
"Yeah, I'm starving," she said as she pointed to her stomach, which let out a big roar.
He laughed.
"Always like you to be hungry."
"Am not!"
"Sure, what do you want? A hot dog or a hamburger?"
"Both."
He laughed again.
"Nice, alright I'll be back in a few. Find something to drink in the mean time," he said with a smile.
"Ok," she replied with a small blush.
His smile was the one thing she loved about him, other than his laugh. No matter how sad she was, that very laugh made her happy almost instantly. His was her light, the light that ate up anything that was negative. This was one of the many qualities that he possessed. She smiled at the thought. She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She saw about two-dozen Coca-Cola cans, and about five Doctor Pepper's. She took one of each. She didn't like being picky, so she just choose both.
She sat down on the couch and opened one of the two sodas' the she held in her hands. She took a drink and put the other one on the coffee table. "So this is where you were, huh," said Jacob.
She looked at him and laughed.
"I didn't think I was going to go anywhere."
"I know."
"Then why the question?"
"I don't know, maybe I wanted to startle you or something."
"Right."
"You're so mean, Kaggie!"
"I sure am. So what are we supposed to do tonight?"
"Eat, drink, watch TV, play games. The usual."
"Sounds boring if you ask me."
"That's why I didn't ask you."
"You are such an ass!"
"You know you love me."
More than you'll ever know she thought. "Yes, I would have to if I put up with your sarcastic remarks all the time," she replied.
He smiled. "Ok, so what do you want to do," he asked?
"Stuff," she replied.
"Like what?"
"Come up with something," he said.
She raised a brow and looked at him as if he were the biggest idiot on the planet and then sighed. She looked outside the window that was in front of her and just smiled. "How about a game?"
"That sounds good to me. Do you want Embry and Quil to play?"
"Sure, why not?"
"All right, I'll be back in a few then."
"Sure," she whispered.
She began to recall on memories. She love when she had first met Jacob, he was a loud and obnoxious two year-old but somehow he had grown into so much more than that. She didn't know why she loved him but it was obvious she did. Did he notice? She thought, since it's so obvious she does than why hadn't he said anything about it yet? She was just so puzzled. Then again maybe he did know and didn't want to talk about it. But what about her made him think that it was wrong to talk about it? She didn't know.
"Kags you're here," said Embry and Quil in unison as they ran up and hugged her. She smiled.
"Yeah, I'm here. So what game do you guys want to play?"
"Football," they both shouted.
"Sure, let's go outside then," she replied with a smile.
Little did she know that Jacob was watching every move that she was making that night? This was the girl that made up his world. Her smile, her laugh, the way she walked, the way she breathed was so intoxicating to him. He wanted nothing more than make her happy and his. She was his way of the world. Anywhere he went, she followed. He didn't know. But did she know that he liked it? Embry and Quil had said that it was obvious. Oh, what was he thinking?
Would she want someone like him?
He didn't know either.
When they were outside, the game began. Kagome and Jake teamed up, Embry and Quil did that same. In no time they were off, running in the back yard with a ball clutched in their arms. Having the time of their lives. About in the middle of the game, Jacob and Kagome were in the lead with two more points than the other two. The score right now was ten to eight. Embry and Quil were going to lose and they would make sure of that. Now they were back to playing after their five minuet break.
At the end of the game, Kagome and Jacob won by five points. That meant that Embry and Quil went home as losers. Naw, they didn't but it was time for them to leave though. Kagome decided that she would stay after to help with the clean up. Jacob greatly appreciated that. Kagome walked into the living room and picked up the trash and everything. Leaving the room spotless. She smiled to herself and walked into the kitchen and began to clean in there and pretty much cleaned the rest of the house while she was at it.
When Jacob came in from cleaning-up outside, he walked around the house and saw that it shinned. He eventually found Kagome; she was sitting on the couch and watching TV "You're done," he asked surprised.
"I am," she replied.
"That's good, I guess. So you're going to go home now?"
"Sure," she replied as turned off the TV and got up to leave.
"Hey, why don't I go with you?"
"Why?"
"I don't know. I feel as if I owe you that much."
"Sure then. Come on," she replied as she walked out the front door.
He followed close behind. He walked over to the driver's side and opened the door for her. Then walked over to the passenger seat and opened the door and sat down. The drive to her house was silent. The both of them couldn't help but think of the person that they were sitting next to. As soon as they came to her house, she parked. He got out of his side of the car and opened the door for her. "Thanks for having the cook out."
"Your welcome, it wouldn't have been any fun without you," he replied as he lead her up to the door.
She blushed. She was about to opened the door when he grabbed her hand. "Wait before you go, I have to tell you something," he said as he looked into her eyes. She could feel her heart begin to race.
"What is it?"
"I love you," he said bluntly as he felt his heart begin to race as well.
"I love you too," she replied as her face turned ruby red.
He leaned down, his breathe on her lips. Their lips finally touched. As the kiss began to deepen, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him with all the love she had had for him for all the years she had known him. His arms found their way to her waist. Sliding up and down the small of her back as the kiss deepened. He licked the bottom part of her lips. Asking for entrance into her sweet cavern. She parted her lips allowing him entrance into her mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance, his winning in the end.
She let go of his neck and got off her tiptoes. He let go of her waist. The two immediately looked away from each other. Blushes adorning their now puzzled features. Kagome looked at him as if all her questions had been answered. He looked at her and thought the same thing. "I guess, I'll see you tomorrow," he asked.
She nodded. "Yes, of course."
"Good night, then," he replied as he pecked her on the lips and left.
When the coast was clear, she brought her hand up to her lips and thought about how well everything had went that night. She smiled to herself and walked into the house. She saw the Billy and Charlie had both passed out on the couch. Both at separate ends and heads on the back of the couch. She let out a small giggle and walked up to her room and got ready for bed. She thought more about what happened and finally fell asleep. Little did she know, that he was thinking that same thing that she was.
What was to come of them?
