Chapter 4
After Jake and I went to dinner, we decided to call it a night. I had school in the morning and he had to meet up with the pack again for another early morning run. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday, so we can spend all night and the weekend figuring out what exactly we want.
When he pulled into my driveway, he put the car in park and turned towards me. "This was fun nugget." he said smiling.
"Yeah, it was. Why are you looking at me like that!" I said smacking him in the arm. He was giving me this look, like I was the only girl, the only person, on the planet.
"Because your just so amazing, and I can't believe this is finally happening. Ive waited so long for this." he said leaning in to kiss me.
"Stop, I'm not that amazing. I don't get why me."
"You are incredible Alex. Your gorgeous, smart, funny...you drive me insane!" he said smiling at me.
"Insane! How do I drive you insane?" I asked laughing.
"Oh, don't worry about it nugget," he said "You should go in, its getting late. Ill text you when I get home, but I'm sure you'll be too busy telling Sierra all about this."
"Hey now, I'll answer your text." I said leaning in closer to him, "bye...hunk." I said kissing him quickly and opening the door.
"Ha! I knew I was hunk!"
"Yeah yeah, I'll talk to you later." I said closing the door and walking up to the front door.
As I walked up the porch and into my house, I just couldn't wipe the goofy grin off my face. I'm dating Jacob, Jacob! I honestly cannot believe that after all this time, he's the one I'm going to end up with. I don't know how I never saw it before! Looking back on the past 9 years, it all seems obvious. He has alway been there for me, always protected me, always been exactly what I need. And now, he gets to be so much more then that.
"Hey honey!" my mom yelled from the living room. "What happened with you guys?"
"Oh mom," I began walking into the living room and plopping down onto the couch, "you and Sierra were right."
"I knew it! What happened, your killing me here!?" my mom exclaimed, excitedly.
"Well, I started rambling like an idiot about how my feelings for him were changing and how I was confused about them. And then he was just staring at me with this look on his face like I just told him the best news in the world. Then he told me that the past few years his feelings for me changed into more then friends and he loves me and wants to be with me!"
"Oh Alex, thats wonderful! I'm so glad you two are together, you make such a cute couple. He's a wonderful guy. You better go upstairs and call Sierra, she's called the house twice to see if you were home yet." she said with a laugh.
"Ok," I said, laughing at the thought of her calling my mom, "I'll go call her now,"
I got up and took the stairs two at a time to get to my room. I was so excited to call her! Although, she was right. God, there will be no living with her now. I will never hear the end of this.
I sat on my window seat and dialed Sierra. She answered on the first ring.
"Tell me everything!" she shouted from the other end.
"Well, I hate to say this. But you were right!" I yelled to her.
"AHHH! Oh my God he loves you, HE LOVES YOU! Ah I knew it! I told you! Details, now!"
"Ok, ok!" I laughed at her, laying down on my seat. I told her the whole story, minus the whole imprinting thing.
"Wow! Ok tell me, on a scale of 1 to 10, how good of a kisser is he?"
"Uh, one million." I said giggling, "And we didn't even make out! It was just a sweet, innocent kiss."
"You have no idea how excited I am. Now all we need is for me to find a boyfriend," she sighed into the phone. "Any of Jacobs friends single?" She joked.
"Actually yeah, one of them is. Have you ever heard me mention Caleb?"
"Maybe once or twice in passing."
"Yeah, he's kinda new to their group. He's pretty cute too! Maybe Jake'll have a picture of him I can show you!"
Caleb phased into a werewolf for the first time last month. He seems like a really sweet guy. He phased later then all the other guys did, so the transition for him is a little rougher. Jacobs been trying to help him adjust.
"Sweet! Alright I'm gonna go back downstairs and listen to my mother whine about how my father hasn't been home since last Tuesday. Joy. See you in the morning!"
"Sounds good to me! Have fun with that by the way."
"Oh, I always do." she laughed, hanging up.
Wouldn't that be fun! Caleb and Sierra. Maybe they'll like each other! She deserves a good guy, and he seems nice enough. Ive only met him a few times but he seems nice. I checked my phone to see the time. Hm, its 8:27. Jacob dropped me off about 15 minutes ago. He should be home by now, why hasn't he texted me? Oh no, I don't want to turn into one of those obsessive girlfriends who needs to be talking to their boyfriends all day.
I walked into my bathroom and started getting ready for bed even though it was still early. I took all my makeup off and applied one of my face masks that I do every Monday night. I love pampering nights. They help me get my mind off things.
About an hour later I was laying on my bed, reading a book, when my phone rang. I picked it up to answer it without even looking at the caller ID.
"Hello," I answered into the phone.
"Hey beautiful," Jacob answered. I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Hi there," I replied, kinda annoyed it took him this long to call me. I'm trying to be reasonable though. I'm not the only thing in his life.
"What're you doing?"
"Reading a book in bed, how about you?"
"Not much, just got home. I'm probably going to try and go to sleep soon since I have to get up early in the morning."
"Wait, you just got home? It doesn't take you over an hour to get home. Where did you do?" I asked, a little concerned.
"I went to the store to get some stuff for Billy, whats with all the questions?"
"Oh okay."
"Baby, whats wrong?" he asked in his cute voice.
"Nothing I'm fine. I just thought you'd call me sooner thats all. I don't want to be all clingy or anything so I'm trying not to act too different, but things are different ya know? We're not just friends anymore."
"I'm sorry I should have told you before I left that I wasn't going straight home. And as for you being worried about being clingy, I think it'd adorable if you were clingy."
"You do? Why?" I asked confused.
"Because it makes me feel like you need me. Its cute nugget."
"Really? Most guys hate that,"
"Well I'm not most guys. You drive me crazy. I want to be with you all the time Alex. I want to be with you right now, just to hold you."
I could not stop smiling. I am literally sitting in my bed underneath the cover all curled up in a ball smiling ear to ear like a complete moron. How did I get so lucky?
"I want you here too," I giggled, "do you think you maybe sneak in my window?"
"Absolutely," he laughed.
"Jacob I'm serious. My mom came in and said goodnight over a half hour ago. She wont be up until morning. You could stay the night and she'd never know."
"Your...serious?" he asked sounding nervous.
"Dead serious! Please come!"
"On my way." he said hanging up the phone.
Oh my God. Oh my God. What am I doing?! Jacob is spending the night?! Oh my God. Freaking out, completely freaking out!
Without thinking I jumped out of bed and stripped out of my oversized t-shirt and changed into some cuter pajamas. As I was throwing on new clothes I called Sierra.
"Oh my God, OH MY GOD!" I screamed into the phone as soon as she picked up.
"What?!"
"Jacob is on his way over. My moms already sleeping. I told him to stay the night. WHAT THE HECK DID I DO?!" I said screaming jumping up and down.
"Oh. My. God! Alex! Do you know what he's probably thinking right now?" she asked in her mischievous voice.
"Yes the thought occurred to me Sierra! What if he thinks we're going to have sex. I don't want to have sex with him! I mean I do, but so not now! Oh my God. He should be here soon!"
"Ok, ok relax! Nothing is going to happen. Your going to cuddle, kiss, hug, sleep. Thats it. Just calm down everything will be fine."
"Your right. Nothing to be scared about," with that, I heard his car screech in front of my house. "He's here."
"Have fun. Hope you shaved your legs." she said hanging up the phone. Ugh.
