Chapter – 9

Dear Diary,

Today is the 3month anniversary of my move to LaPush, and my 1 month anniversary with Jake. First things first, other than the phone calls and text messages from my cousin Nicky, I haven't heard anything else from Los Angeles. According to her, Manny has seemed to disappear from the face of the earth; no one has seen him or heard of him since I left. I should be happy about it, but something inside me is screaming that he is not gone for good. But I won't let that bother me though, not only do I have a werewolf boyfriend and his pack (my brothers) watching out for me, I can take care of myself.

Talking about my werewolf brothers, Seth went phased for the first time a week ago which should've meant he didn't come around as much, but I think the poor thing has been given the job of watchdog at my house, or watchwolf …lol. Sometimes it pisses me off that these boys think I won't notice these things. But whatever, at least Jess still gets to be around his best friend. Well, we all knew Seth's change was coming, but everyone was sideswiped when Leah did too. The only female wolf in history, how scandalous…lol. She's driving the guys nuts, but I feel for her, I would be bitchy too if I was forced to hang around with my ex, who dumped me for my cousin and I still had feelings for, and his obnoxious friends (well obnoxious to her cause I love them).

As far as things with Jake and I go. I'm in love! I'm in love! I'm in love! Well, now that I got that outta the way, things are perfect. We can't spend as much time together as we'd like but we enjoy the time we do. He's been so busy lately. Between the red-headed vampire that's been hunting Bella, the mystery one that sneaked into my room and now that another mystery vamp sneaked into Bella's room last week, the pack has been searching the woods round the clock. Nothing has happened between us for the last couple of weeks but I think it's only because he haven't been alone since. He's always coming or going and when he comes he has Quil or Embry with him or Quil and Embry.

This weekend, this weekend were gonna be alone. I'm leaving with Bella, Alice and Rosalie to Seattle on Friday afternoon. We're gonna have a girl's night/sleepover, a day of shopping on Saturday and then meet of with our boys in the evening for a night of dancing. We'll be sleeping over on Saturday night, and I bet it wouldn't take much to get Alice to get a room for me and Jake, if she hasn't already.

Moving on to Cullen news, Bella and I have become pretty good friends. Ok, I know she's not a Cullen, not yet anyways but I consider her as such. Her dad Charlie is pretty funny, a lot like Billy, no wonder they're best friends. It is obvious he is not an Edward fan and was too happy to see Bella have a friend that was not a Cullen, even though he loves Alice. Everyone loves Alice. Speaking of which, we've spent a lot of time together. It's cool to have a friend you can be yourself completely with. Bella seems to forget who she's hanging with, or what I should say. She gets frightened everytime we do anything out of the ordinary so we have to keep on guard around her. Alice on the other hand acts like a kid at a candy store whenever I unconsciously will something. She also loves the fact that her visions are a lot more vivid and precise when I'm around. She's hoping some of my magic rubs off on her…lol Rosalie had warmed up to me which has surprised the hell out of everyone. We talk about fashion and traveling, the vibe I get from her though is a lot more big sister than friend like Alice. Emmett, well he's a big kid. He's a big brother, but the kind that will mess with you and try to embarrass you rather than give you advice. Jasper, oh Jasper. I'm glad to say I'm tearing down his wall. Since my blood is not a temptation to them he's a lot more relaxed around me, but just when you think you're in, he back away. I'll get in though.

Well diary, I gotta go now. Jake someone managed to get a day off. I wonder what kind of favors he must've pulled to get it. No clue what we're doing since he says it's a surprise, don't matter though, as long as we're together I don't care if we sit here all day. I'll give you all the details later. – Lily

Ps. Nicky just confirmed she's spending the summer here with us. Can't wait!!!

Lily looked at the time before closing her laptop. She only had an hour and a half before Jake showed up. Probably less since he always showed up early. She took a quick shower and turned the radio on as she walked over to her closet. It's hard to pick out an outfit when you don't know where you're going or what you're doing. It was warm and sunny outside, a rarity in LaPush; she figured Jake might want to take advantage of it. She grabbed a bathing suit, shorts and a t-shirt. She knew dressing up wasn't necessary since Jake had to stay close to home, just in case.

She was brushing her damp hair when she heard the thump behind her. A second later she had two muscular arms around her waist and blazing lips on her neck.

"Oh, ok" she smiled "But make it quick. Jake should be here any minute"

"You think you have jokes, ha?" Jake smiled as he tickled her stomach.

She turned to land her lips on the one's she'd been dreaming about all night. Jake's hands went from tickling her belly to cupping her face. The kiss turned from sweet to passionate is 2.3 seconds. He pulled away and took a step back but took her hands in his.

"We keep this up, we aint going nowhere" he whispered, either because he was thinking out loud or because was trying to gain some of the control she always made him lose.

"Fine with me" she smiled, taking a step closer to him.

"Surprise, remember?" he smiled. His tone let her know he was totally in control now. Damn! "I should say surprises"

Lily looked up at him as he let go of one of her hands to dig around his front pocket. He took something out and held it up to her between his fingers. It was an intricately braided ring.

"I made this for you" he said seriously "It's a Quileute promise ring"

"Well put it on me" she said holding up her left hand

He gave her the smile she loved so much, her smile, and slipped the ring on her. She looked and admired the ring with a wide smile on her face.

"I love it" she said tiptoeing to kiss his chin "It's beautiful"

"Do you know what it means?"

"Of course I do" she smiled "That I'm gonna be Mrs. Jacob Black someday"

"I love the sound of that" he smiled as he threw her over his shoulder and took off. She laughed and giggled as wind and blurs of green and brown swooshed by. "Second surprise" he said as he placed her down and turned her around. He wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. It was then she looked around and realized they were at the beach. Jake kissed her cheek and pointed out to a cliff a few feet away from where they stood. "There's a cave with pools under there. They're real pretty and I wanna show you"

"Cool, how do we get in there?"

"Well there's two ways" he explained "You can jump off the cliff and swim in or we can climb down, but it's pretty steep, so I'm gonna carry you down"

"I wanna jump" she smiled

"Are you crazy???"

"Though you already knew that" she laughed

"I don't know" he hesitated "It can be dangerous and the water's cold"

"I don't care. Besides you'll be with me to make sure I'm safe"

"Fine" he gave up "As long as I'm with you you'll be ok"

"So how far up is that cliff?" she asked pointing to the top

"About 60 feet, but we're not jumping from there" he stated "We're jumping from the halfway point there" he added pointing to a lower platform.

"No" she correct him "We're jumping from up there" she added pointing to the top

"Hell no Lily!" he snapped "I'm not letting you jump from the top"

"When did I ask you for permission???" she snapped back "I'm jumping from the top!"

*****

Whoa! I wasn't expecting that reaction. Jake stood motionless for a minute, to be honest in shock from her outburst. It was the first time he'd seen Lil angry. Finally snapping out of it, he realized she was running and about halfway up the cliff. He ran after her, catching up within seconds, he tried to grab her hand but she dodged him. How the hell did she do that? She saw the confusion in his face and laughed.

"Witch, remember?" she sang as she made her way to the top, looking back at him standing inches away from her and laughed once again at his expression. Jake was worried about her and couldn't help the flashbacks of Bella's near drowning experience. He would've died if something ever happened to Lil.

"Lil, I'm just worried about you" he whispered

"I know" she smiled "But you're my boyfriend not my protector. You can't stop me from being who I am. Crazy remember?' she laughed

"I'm not trying to change you in any way. I love you because you're crazy not despite of it" he smiled "But I need to know, no, I have to know you're always safe"

"And I will be. You're gonna be with me all the times" she said matter-of-factly "Would you ever let anything happen to me?"

"Of course not!" she exclaimed "I will always guard your life with mine"

"Then what are we arguing about? You're jumping with me, therefore, no danger"

"You're driving me nuts, you know that?" he sighed in defeat

Her smile widened as she clapped before running to him. She wrapped her arms him and tiptoed to kiss the hollow of his neck.

"Time to strip" she whispered

"What???" Jake asked with a look that made her laugh

"I'm not jumping in the ocean with my clothes and shoes on Jake" she said matter-of-factly. Before he could say anything else, Lil kicked her shoes off. He was motionless as she removed her socks and shorts. She folded her small shorts and placed her socks in her shoes then removed her t-shirt and folded it as well. She placed her shorts, t-shirt and sneakers in a neat little pile before turning around to look at him with a smile. Her figure was magnificent, wearing navy blue bikini that complimented her creamy skin beautifully. Her panties were down to her hips and gave a wonderful sneak peak of her round firm booty and her top showcased her luscious breasts brilliantly. Jake was staring like an idiot; his heart pounding like crazy but somehow managed not to drool. Lil noticed and giggled. "Well?" she laughed "I want nothing but boxers, mister"

All he could manage to do was nod as he began to take his clothes off but couldn't help smiling when he noticed Lil was checking him out. He placed his clothes and shoes in a pile next to hers and walked over to her. She smiled and took his hand, intertwining their fingers as they walked over to the edge.

"You sure?" he asked, pulling her over to kiss the top of her head.

"Of course" she laughed "On the count of three?"

"Ok" he sighed. What choice do I have?"One…Two"

"Three!" she yelled as she took the leap dragging him with her. She screamed out of pure adrenaline as they freefell for a few seconds. As soon as they hit the cold water Jake wrapped his arms around her, holding her for a few seconds, registering the fact that she was in his arms, safe and sound. Once he did that he kissed her forehead while she smiled shaking her head. "You won't be so wound up next time"

"Next time???" Does she have plans on doing this on a regular basis?

"I'm swimming to the cave" she laughed as she swam away "Feel free to join me anytime"

"Vampires don't have anything on me" he said shaking his head "But a little girl a third my size can make me shake with fear"

Within seconds Jake was dragging Lily without letting her swim on her own. She laughed and shook her head but allowed him to do it. They quickly reached the cave's entrance, where he jumped off the water and picked Lil up by the arm. The cave had enough sunlight slipping through the rocks and reflecting off the water to light it, giving it a mood-lighting effect. The cave itself was beautiful, sand so fine and soft; you would swear you were walking on flour, and the few shallow pools, unlike the sea water, were quite warm.

"It's beautiful" Lil whispered as she admired it.

Tink was good. Very good. Soft music was playing; the sand was covered in red and white rose petals and there were lit candles everywhere. It was perfect. It was more than perfect; it was classy, sweet and unbelievably romantic. He owed her. Jake owed her big.

"I knew you'd like it"he smiled

"I love it" she smiled, giving him a kiss on the arm before running to lie on the sand. She placed her hair over her head and closed her eyes. Jake lay down beside her, turned on his side, propped his head on his hand and admired all of her beauty. He'd never met anyone like her. From the color of her creamy, sun-kissed skin, her loose curls, the swirls of chocolate brown, honey gold, and auburn, completely different from the straight black hair of the girls in LaPush. Her attitude, her style, her spunk, her craziness, her sweetness, was such a breeze of fresh air to him. She was everything he would've asked for if he knew what he was looking for. Jake admired her hourglass figure from the top of her multi-colored curls to her cute little hot pink toes. His gaze must've been strong because she laughed as she turned her head over to look at him.

"Feel free to stare Jake" she joked "I don't mind at all"

"Sorry" he smiled "Can't help it. You're….Damn!" he said checking her out

"Well you're very nice to look at too"

"You are crazy" he laughed

She rolled on her side and propped her head on her hand.

"I mean that Jake. You're face, your body, and that smile. You're gorgeous."

"Thanks" he smiled "It's just kinda hard to believe coming from someone as beautiful and prefect as you"

"I am not perfect" she laughed "I'm not prissy and girly, I don't shy away and giggle, I don't play into the helpless damsel in distress role to make a guy feel better about himself, and if a fight breaks out I come out swinging with you rather than running away or ducking for cover. I enjoy sports and action movies, I eat more than a salad, love junk food and I'm a tomboy at heart. And do you have any idea how long I spent wishing I was shorter? I'm way too tall for a girl"

"You are perfect. Perfectly designed for me" he smiled "I love all of that about you. And your height is only because I need you this tall"

She laughed and turned her head at a precise angle for the sun to hit her eyes. The reflection of the sun brought out the gold and specks of green, reminding Jake of cat's eyes. They were absolutely beautiful.

"Your eyes are amazing"

"Jess and I joked about them all the time" she smiled "He says I have so many colors cause mom couldn't pick one and gave me a little of everything"

"They're unique and breathtakingly beautiful, just like the rest of you"

Jake leaned over to kiss her, placing his hand on the small of her back, pulling her over, pressing their bodies together. Her warm, sweet tongue massaged his as the touch of her cool fingers across his back sent a current throughout his body. Their kissing went from sweet and tender to steamy and passionate. They were hardly coming up for air as their hearts pounded madly. Lil wrapped her leg around his as he ran his hand up and down her naked back.

Jake kissed and nibbled on Lil's neck as he slowly unbuttoned pulled on the string of her bikini top, flinging it across the cave before ravishing on her beautiful flesh. Lil licked him from the hollow of his neck to the edge of his chin, far too seductive and enticing to be legal, the creamy skin of her glorious body was exposed and free for Jake to enjoy. The look in Jake's eyes must've said everything he was feeling and thinking because Lil pulled his hair, bringing his lips to hers, the tip of his anxious erection landing at the opening of where it was hurting so badly to enter. Lil lowered his boxers with her legs, opening them in the process, allowing Jake to position himself between her, letting him know she was just as anxious as he was. Jake was nervous and afraid of hurting her so he decided to take things slow. Tried to take things slow, somehow Lil's panties ended up across the cave.

"Mine" he growled softly before declaring "I love you" gently positioning his tip inside her and looked straight in to her glorious eyes, awaiting approval.

"I love you" she whispered with a shy smile and a slight nod. She took a deep breath and with on quick thrust, he felt her virginity vanish as he entered warm, slick, tight, glorious bliss. Lil dug her nails in his back and bit his shoulder, giving Jake a mixture of pain and pleasure that caused him to growl. Having heard that the first time is a bit painful for girls, Jake gave Lil's body a moment to adjust to him. Once he felt her body ease up, he began slow stokes, movement that she enhanced by rotating her hips. Jake couldn't get over how perfect they were together, their bodies fit together like pieces of a puzzle, giving each other pleasure that was indescribable. The thrusts intensified, the moves accelerated, the kissing heated, and howls, grunts, screams and moans filled the cave as Lil's walls tightened until they clamped on him causing her to spasm in ecstasy, screaming his name. The delight of hearing Lil yell out his name caused Jake to explode.

They had been in the cave for hours, lying in the sand in each other's arms. The sun was beginning to set, the candles were almost out, the cave was getting dark and Jake knew it was only gonna get colder.

"I'd love to keep you here all to myself forever" he smiled "But we should get going"

"Yeah, you're right" she said pouting her lips "But we're definitely coming back"

"Ok" he answered "I'll promise to carry you down here again whenever you want"

"What? I can't even jump from the lower ledge now???"

"Nope" he laughed "I own you miss and you're not doing anything I consider dangerous"

"We'll see about that" she smiled "You can't watch me 24/7"

"Lil, if I have to become your shadow to keep you safe, I'll do just that"

"Two can play that game, mister" she laughed "I own you, remember?"

Jake laughed, kissing the tip of her nose as she kissed his chin.

"We should wash up" he laughed "We have sand in places I don't wanna imagine"

"Wouldn't we just wash up as we swim to shore?"

"We're climbing up" he answered "Water's too cold now"

He was surprised Lil didn't fight him on it, probably too tired to swim. They jumped in one of the pools and washed off all the sand.

"Do you always howl?" Lily smiled

"You bring out the animal in me" Jake answered with a wide smile

*****

They'd been naked for hours and even though she should've felt embarrassed or self conscious, she didn't. Lily was the girl who didn't even like to be naked in front of the mirror, yet she felt totally comfortable and right. They were standing in one of the pools, in the buff, his body looking amazing, especially wet and he was giving her the smile. That smile that took her breath away, the one that made her heart skip a beat and turned her legs to jello.

"Don't do that to me" she laughed "If you keep smiling like that, we're never gonna leave"

"I'm so sorry" he laughed "How can I do that to you, when allyou're doing is standing there looking completely enticing. I have no problem leaving"

"Ok then, close your eyes until I get dressed" she laughed

"First of all, I don't have that type of self control" he laughed "And second, since when is wearing a tiny bikini considered being dressed?"

"Now you know what I go through every day when you're running around in nothing but cutoffs and every one of the muscles in your perfect body is right in my face"

"Then you definitely have better self control than me" he laughed "If you were running around in bra and panties all the time, you would not see the light of day"

"Come on" she laughed "We should go"

She got outta the pool to search for her bikini, but Jake found it first, shook the sand off and handed it to her.

"I should get you home before Jess starts to worry" he stated

"You'd be surprised" she laughed "I can call him and let her know I'm not coming home for the night, and he'll be totally ok with it, as long as he knows I'm safe"

"Lil that doesn't help with my determination to get you home"

Lil laughed as Jake walked to stand in front of her, bent his knees a little, she could wrap her arms around his neck. She jumped on him, wrapped her legs around him and waited till he settled her comfortably on his back before locking her feet. He stood for a minute, tilting his head back with his eye closed, taking deep breaths, calming himself.

"What's wrong?" she asked

"I can smell you" he whispered "That plus feeling your naked body against my back is torture. I just need a minute to concentrate or we're not leaving"

"We can swim" she laughed "I think you need cold water"

"No" he said with lots of concentration "I'll carry you. I can do this"

They reached the top in a matter of a minute or two. Jake placed her down and kissed her forehead before running off to get their clothes from the cliff. Lil sat on the sand and before she got a chance to settle down, he was back fully dressed with her clothes in hand. She got dressed and climbed on his back so they could go home. He walked her to the door and wrapped his arms around her as she wrapped hers around him.

"Today was absolutely perfect" he said looking in to her eyes

"In every way" she smiled

Chapter -10

Lily was looking forward to having good old girl time but she was gonna miss Jake, she was so used to seeing him every day. Even if it was for only a few kisses before or after his rounds before he went home to crash, many times both. Since she wouldn't be seeing him until the next night, he was gonna drive with her to Bella's.

She packed pjs, a shirt of Jake's he'd left at her house one day and she kept, toothbrush, hairbrush, perfume, it's lotion, deodorant, make-up bag and a change of clothes. She'd be buying her clubbing outfit in Seattle, so in the smaller compartment she placed her wallet, her ipod and cell. Lily grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to Jess and headed downstairs to wait for Jake at the porch. To her surprise, he was already waiting for her with his breathtakingly beautiful smile.

"Why didn't you knock?" she asked wrapping her arms around him

"I heard you coming down the stairs" he explained. She forgot he could hear everything.

It was sprinkling as usual, his black spiky hair was wet and he had nothing on but black cutoff sweats. Droplets of water were running down his stunning physique, Lily couldn't help but run her fingers down his tempting abs and it took everything in her not to pounce him. But many things could happen between my house and Bella's. Of course Jake noticed she was checking him out and half-smiled and cocked his brow with that cockiness she loved, which always made him look irresistible.

*****

Jake would be running patrol later so he was wearing just his cutoffs; it was raining so his body was dripping water. Lil seemed to like it because she was checking him out as she ran her cool fingers down the hot skin of his abs. It felt good to know that she enjoyed his body as much as he enjoyed the beauty of hers.

"Like what you see?" he smiled

"Always" She answered placing a kiss on his chest. She has no idea what she does to me.

"So what are you girls up to tonight?"

"I dunno, movie, dinner, girl talk" she laughed "Code for talking about you boys"

"As long as you and Bella are not the dinner I'm ok with it" he laughed

"Jake!" She laughed smacking his arm

"I'm playing" he laughed "So, what? No strip clubs?"

"Why would I pay to see half-naked men when I have you and the back" she laughed "You guys are much better. Up close and personal and free"

"I'm gonna miss you" he said kissing the top of her head. The next 18 hours will be endless.

"Me too" She said tiptoeing to kiss his chin but he picked her up to reach his lips.

She dropped her bag and as usual wrapped her legs around his waist the way she knew he loved. Jake could never be close enough to her. They continued kissing as he ran his fingers through her hair, while she ran hers through his. Jake never wanted moments like that to end, but he knew they had to get going.

"We should go before Blondie throws a bitch fest" he laughed

"We're taking Jess's car" Lil stated "Alice says we're gonna need it"

"Let's roll" Jake smiled picking up Lil's bag.

As Jake figured, Blondie and Tink were already at Bella's when they arrived. Blondie was holding Emmett's hand; Tink had Jasper's arms wrapped around her like Bella had Edward's.

Lil hugged all the guys and kissed the girls in the cheek as Jake and the guys nodded at each other in greeting. After giving Lil a bear hug, Emmett ran to Jess's suv to properly check it out. After giving Bells a hug hello, Jake stood behind Lil, wrapping his arms around her waist, resting his chin on top of her head.

"Now this is what I call a ride" Emmett yelled from the suv "Custom paint, 24's, Pirelli tires, black leather interior and massive stereo system"

"He's in love" Edward smiled

"With me or my brother's wheels?" Lil laughed

"Both" Emmett laughed, causing everyone to laugh along with him.

Suddenly Edward took a step away from Bella, holding her hand and standing up straight which could only mean one thing.

"Charlie's coming" Edward announced. Of course.

Charlie walked outta the house and down the patio stairs to stand between Bella and Jake.

"Hey there Kids"

"Hello" everyone chorused

"Hey Jake, how you doing son?" he asked patting him in the back.

"I'm good Charlie" Jake smiled

"Hey honey" Charlie hugged Lil "Good job" he whispered to Jake with a playful push

"We need to go" Tink sang "We have just enough time for the drive, a movie, dinner and the most important, girl talk"

"Yeah you girls better get going before it gets dark" Charlie smiled

"We're leaving dad" Bella answered

"Ok honey, see you Sunday. And you girls have a good time but keep safe" he said before giving Bella a hug and waving to the girls before going back inside.

"He's gonna be watching from the window to make sure we don't follow the girls" Edward whispered to the guys "We better stay here for a bit after they leave"

Everyone hugged and kissed their girl goodbye as they walked them to Jess's black Escalade. Lil tossed the keys to Blondie which took her by surprise but she smiled and took them anyways. Jake picked up Lil and gave her a tight hug and a soft sweet kiss before placing her in the passenger's side, in front of Tink.

"Alright Tink, I'm trusting her to you" he reminded "You are responsible for her, ok?"

Everyone smiled as Blondie turned to give Jake a dirty look. Tink stood on the door way to tower over Jake, placing her hands on her tiny waist.

"I'm a vampire of my word" Tink said seriously "I promise to return her better than how you're leaving her"

"Ok" Jake smiled "I trust you"

"How can such a smart, pretty girl fall for a dumb stinky dog?" Blondie hissed

"Love" Lil smiled "And cause he's totally hot"

Edward and Blondie rolled their eyes as the rest laughed. Jake and the bloodsuckers stood looking at the suv until it was out of sight. They knew Charlie was watching them from the window to make sure they didn't run after them so they took the time to work out their plans for the next day.

"Do you have rounds tonight?" Edwards asked

"Yeah but I can go anytime you guys want"

"Is 10am ok for you?" Emmett asked

"Yeah that's good. Where do you wanna meet?

"We can pick you up at the treaty line" Edward answered

"But make sure you wear more than that" Emmett laughed

"I have clothes" Jake snapped

"They're just afraid you'll stop traffic, Jacob" Edward smiled

"Give women heart attacks is more like it" Emmett laughed "Not that the clothes will help, he can't hide that body no matter what he wears"

"Are you bloodsuckers done having your little fun?"

"Due to your stature, you have a strong presence" Jasper said "But we are sorry"

"You're a big boy, man" Emmett laughed "How tall are you?"

"Six, seven"

"Alright guys, let's leave Jacob alone" Edward smiled "We'll see you tomorrow"

"Shopping, dressing up and partying with bloodsuckers" Jake shook his head "Why the hell, did I agree into this?"

"I believe she just left" Edward smiled

"The things we do for girls, man" Emmett laughed

"Love will make us do many crazy things" Jasper smiled "Believe me, I know"

"I gotta go" Jake said as he turned away

"Jake?" Edward called, Jake turned to look at him

"Anything new on Victoria?"

"No" Jake answered full of hatred "Not her or the others"

"We haven't found anything on our side either, but I know she'll be back"

"We haven't let our guard down, we continue our rounds daily"

"I know and I thank you Jacob"

"We're not doing it for you" Jake snapped

"I know, but I still thank you"

"Sure, sure"

Jake ran into the forest, phasing to join the pack for rounds. What else was he gonna do? His love was on her way to Seattle and he had 18 hours of nothingness ahead of him.

*** **

Rosalie drove fast, she was going about 120 the whole way but Lily loved it. They were blaring music, singing and dancing along to it, it was so much fun. It was hilarious to see Bella clutch onto her seatbelt as if she was holding for dear life. Lily was surprised she didn't kiss the floor when they arrived.

They went to a movie and then headed to their hotel, which of course was 5 star and extremely elegant. Rosalie and Alice had adjoining suites reserved, one for them and the other for Bella and Lily. Alice ordered Bella and Lily Chinese food from a very chic and expensive looking restaurant across the street and as it arrived, they took showers. Lily took a long hot shower; towel dried her hair, brushed it, put lotion on and then wore Jakes t-shirt. I walked to the living room part of our suite and everyone turned around to stare at her odd choice of pajamas.

"Jake's?" Alice asked with a giggle

"Yup" Lily smiled

"I want details" Alice clapped

"Ugh, I don't wanna hear about Jake's sex life" Bella complained

"Ignore Bella" Rosalie smiled "She's upset she doesn't have a sex life"

Rather than get angry, a look of frustration washed over her letting us know that she had obviously been trying to get some with no luck and it made us laugh.

"So how did you meet Fido anyways?" Rosalie asked

"Jake went to start world war 3 with Edward at school" Lily smiled "I was there for a meeting with Jess's principal. We saw each other, bada-bing bada-boom, and love at first sight"

"How did he tell you?"

"He told me everything that day" Lily explained "He even phased for me"

"You've seen him as a wolf???" Alice asked "What was that like?"

"Jake is very intimidating and menacing as a wolf" Lily admitted "If you think he's big as a human, wait till you see him as a horse sized wolf"

"Were you afraid?" Rosalie asked

"Yes" Lily admitted "It's not every day you see an enormous wolf, easily 4 times your size coming at you. It took everything in me not to run or scream. I stood in shock for a moment. 'It's Jake, it's Jake, its Jake' I kept telling myself. Then I saw his eyes, Jake's eyes looking back at me with the same kindness, the same warmth and love in them as they always have and that's all it took me to register it was my wolf"

"So let's get to the juicy stuff" Alice giggled

Rosalie and Lily laughed as Bella made a face putting her ipod on.

"Obviously you and Jake have made love, right?" Rosalie asked

"Yeah" Lily smiled turning beet red.

"How was that like?" Alice beamed

"Absolutely perfect" Lily exhaled "Soft music, rose petals, candles, it was amazing"

"First time?" Rosalie asked

"Yeah" Lily smiled "For the both of us"

"Aw" Alice smiled "Sound so romantic"

"Does the animal side take over?" Rosalie asked

"Yes" Lily nodded "Howling and all"

"He howls???" Rosalie and Alice chorused

"Only when he's…done"

"I think I might enjoy hearing that" Alice giggled

"Were all gonna be here tomorrow" Rosalie smiled "I think we're all gonna get to hear"

"We definitely need to go lingerie shopping tomorrow" Alice smiled

"And with him being so tall, we need to get you 'fuck me' heels" Rosalie pointed

"You need to get me what???" Lily asked

"Fuck me heels" she explained "Anything over a 3 inch heel is a 'fuck me' heel. Like your boots"

"Yes, you need to show off those legs" Alice smiled

"I'm thinking of cutting my hair" Lily commented

"No" Rosalie answered "Long hair suits you"

"We can layer it" Alice suggested "Same length but layered, it would look a bit fuller and very cute on you"

"You know, I rarely say this anyone" Rosalie said to Lily "I like you. You're a gorgeous girl, and not just by human standards. The color of your skin, the unique mixture of colors in your eyes and hair, your figure, you're special. Your attitude and charisma is a mixture of Emmett and mine's. I see you and imagine what my daughter would've looked like if I had one with my Emmett"

"Wow, Rosalie" Lily whispered in shock"Thank you"

"Nobody's gonna believe this" Alice said with her mouth hung open

"I know" Rosalie laughed"That's why I didn't mind saying it in front of you"

"Well" Alice puffed "Enough for one day. It's time for Bella and Lily to go to bed. I need fresh and well-rested canvases for tomorrow"

Alice and Rosalie said 'goodnight' as they walked through the door that adjoined our suites and closed it behind them. Bella was already lying in one bed so Lily laid on the other, closed her eyes and played her ipod as she imagined Jake's beautiful eyes, his breathtaking smile and his stunning physique.

"Lily?" she heard Bella call

"Yeah?" Lily answered taking her earphones out

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure"

"I know you might think this is none of my business and that I'm stepping outta line, but Jake's my best friend and I need to know. Do you love Jacob?"

Lily had to admit, the first thought that came to mind was to tell her it was none of her damn business. But she saw the genuine concern in her face. Bella saw Jake as family and was worried for him. Lily decided telling Bella the truth was the best thing.

"I love him more than my own life" Lily admitted

"Make him happy Lily, he deserves it"

"Bella, I will tell Jake off when he's being an ass, I will put him in his place when he steps outta line, I will kick his ass when he deserves it, but above all, I will always love him and as long as I'm alive I will do everything in my power to make sure we are happy together"

"You two are so perfect for each other" Bella smiled "I'm glad he found you. And I'm glad Alice found someone else to play dress up Barbie with"

"I don't mind" Lily smiled "I'm surrounded by a lot of testosterone day in and day out. I enjoy girl time and shopping, so I'll let her have her fun"

"You should learn from her!" Alice yelled from the other room

"And if you need help with Fido's ass kicking I'll gladly help" Rosalie added

"Now go to sleep!"Alice ordered

"Yes mother" Lily whispered

"I heard that!"Alice yelled

Bella and Lily couldn't help giggle like little girls that had been caught misbehaving.
