Shopping

Jacob:

A few days later

It´s getting better I told myself again and again, but it won´t help I still feel miserable.

Today I was shopping with Seth and Alice – I and one of them on a shopping tour, who can imagine this? She had chosen two similar tuxedos for Seth and me. Black trousers and jackets a champagne colored shirt and a bow tie in a soft violet tone.

She cheered when we stepped out of the changing room to show her our new look. "It fits perfectly, I wasn´t sure with the colors but yes, it´s exactly how I imagined it." She smiled brilliant.

I hated getting dressed like a doll and I also hated to wear these clothes. I wasn´t looking in the mirror but I saw Seth who seems quit happy with his new outfit.- and Alice was right, he looked really good in it.

I was glad that the trip is over without too much trouble and I looked forward to a night without patrol and to lie down early.

Seth instead was gone with Alice when they set me off at the border. I really don´t understand how he could manage being around the leeches for such a long time – I was pleased to not smell them any longer, the shopping tri was more than enough for one day.

Seth:

"I love it, Alice" I smiled broadly "Jack looked great in it" After all I´ve told Alice about the imprint too. I trust her and she was more helpful as Edward. He still didn´t understand why I wouldn´t tell Jacob. Alice was much more understanding, she knows that Jake needs a friend now and not a lover – not that I haven´t thought about this.

I leaned against the kitchen door while she was arranging flowers, I watched her in silence until she asked "What do you feel for him? I mean what exactly!"

"I love him" I replied quickly but I knew this wasn´t the answer she wanted to hear.

I sighed "I have always loved him – as brother, as friend, he was my childhood hero. Even after imprinting I still wanted him as my best friend.

Now I´ve realized that things are changing and I can't help it." I groaned "I can´t look at him without losing myself in his shining brown eyes. When he touches me it´s like electricity sending little lightning's through my whole body."

I glided down the door frame and sat on the kitchen floor.

Alice pulled me into a tight embrace to soothe me when I started to cry in desperation "That´s love honey!"
