Special Arrangement
Chap18: Would You Let me Finish
I sighed and rolled my eyes and turned to walk away when Seth put his arm around my shoulder.
"Hey you're not going anywhere fast with that ankle and you need help walking, so you might as well use that time to talk to your loving, caring brother."-he said smiling and I rolled my eyes.
"Fine! It's not like it's that serious anyway. Jacob came over and we watched a Star Trek OS marathon which I missed thanks to you!"-I said, reaching over to slap Jacob in the face for making me miss my Spock time.
"Ouch!"-he said, glaring at me as he rubbed his red cheek.
"You're lucky that's all she did. One time Leonard Nimoy was doing an interview and I accidentally turned the channel and she bit me, she bit the shit out of my arm!"-Quil said still sore about it.
"I missed Nimoy laugh you're lucky that's all you got."-I said glaring, still sore myself.
"Apparently biting is her thing."-Sam said and rubbed where I once bit him when we were together after he pissed me off saying Data was better than Spock. How dare he!
"You need therapy Lee."-Jared said
"Never!"-I growled. I will be a Trekkie until the day I die!
"As I was saying! Me and Jacob were watching a Star Trek marathon when the bell rang and Jacob answered. He opened the door and got stiff but I ignored him because, well I didn't care what his problem was. But, it was my house so I asked who it was and this gorgeous, tall, sexy man w-"-I was cut off by Jacob growling and shaking; I rolled my eyes and continued.
"Was standing in the doorway in his sexy uniform-"
"Lee can you please spare us your porn fantasy about a delivery man delivering you his package."-Seth groaned disgusted, Jacob growled angry, Quil seemed too interested and the rest agreed with Seth.
"You all are just jealous."-I said and they scoffed.
"Whatever,"
"Am not,"
"Oh please,"
"You wish,"-they complained and I chuckled.
"Suuuuure,"-I said
"Oh please Leah I saw Lance and he was nothing special."-Jacob scoffed
"His name is Liam and yes, yes he was. You're just hating."-I said
"Why would I hate? I'm sure you know firsthand I have no need to. I mean after all you've seen me naked."-Jacob said as he looked at me with those glowing eyes again and my wolf stirred. He moved closer to me and leaned in to my ear.
"And we both know you liked what you saw."-he whispered and I breathed deeply to insure my heartbeat wouldn't accelerate, but it did.
"See,"-he whispered smugly as he pulled back and looked me in the eye, paused and let out a low growl. I shuddered and my wolf wanted to growl back but I was able to rein her ass in.
"Anyway, you were saying?"-Seth said as he looked between me and Jacob suspiciously. I cleared my throat and got back on track.
"Well Liam was tall like you guys: shorter than Jacob but taller than Sam and he had muscle, more than you guys but less than Jacob. When he saw me he just stared at me and blah blah blah, Jacob acted like a dick, yelled at him and slammed the door in his face."-I said and Jacob shrugged, his eyes back to normal. I don't think anyone else but me has yet to notice his eyes glow now.
"Wait, he was eyeing you Leah?"-Seth asked alarmed.
"Yes he was and he's lucky he left with all his limbs intact! You should have seen him Seth, acting like I wasn't even here. And you know what he did, I'll tell you what he did, he had the nerve to try and come in the house! The fucker actually tried to come into the house asking if she needed him to "bring the package in". You should have seen that small ass box and even if she did need it brought in for her I was there, if she needed anything it would be coming from me, no one else!"-Jacob interjected first hysterically then furiously as he began to growl and shake. Seth was angry too and he was growling; the rest of the guys looked concerned even Paul, never thought I'd see the day.
"Jacob are you done, can you pull your panties out now?"-I said rolling my eyes. His eyes darted to me and they were glowing again; he put his arm around me and snatched me from Seth's grip. I gasped and thought I would fall but he kept me steady.
"I don't like this guy and I don't want him near you."-he said, looking at me so intensely all I could do was nod dumbly and swallow. He pulled me close and I could feel his nose in my hair and hear him inhale deeply as he clung to me.
"Well maybe this guy isn't a threat."-Collin said trying to defuse the sudden anger and tension.
"Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, either way we need to be on the lookout anytime someone gets a delivery until we figure it out."-Jared said; Seth reached and pulled me back to his side because apparently I'm a hot potato with a limp.
"I don't like this."-Seth said looking down at me "But we shouldn't do anything too hasty."-he finished.
"Am I the only one who thinks we should just kill him?"-Jacob asked incredulously.
"No, I'm ready when you are."-Paul said
"Good when he-"
"Would you two stop it! Paul you're always looking for a fight and Jacob you just hate the guy because he challenged you and alpha males don't like to be challenged."-I said
"No it's because-"
"It doesn't matter dude, you can't just go and kill somebody."-Embry said, rolling his eyes. Paul and Jacob looked like somebody stole their presents on Christmas.
"Well can we at least just-"
"NO!"-we all shouted.
"So, you still didn't tell me what happened to you."-Seth said
"Honestly Seth I don't know what happened. When Jacob stared yelling at me-"
"Why were you yelling at my sister?"-Seth interrupted, glaring at Jacob. I am never going to be able to finish this damn story!
"I wasn't exactly yelling at her."-he mumbled and I scoffed.
"He yelled at me because I was flirting-"
"You were flirting with him?"-Quil interrupted
"Yes she was!"-Jacob growled for me since my voice is on vacation; I gave him the finger.
"Hey I'm a woman he was a fine ass man, shit happens."-I shrugged
"Shit better not happen again."-Jacob said, flaring his nostrils.
"What the fuck is your problem?"-I exclaimed
"I just don't like him."-he said and turned away from me.
"Whatever; as I was saying for the hundredth time, when Jacob started yelling at me I started yelling back then next thing I know he drops to the ground clutching his chest and gasping for air. I freaked and went to run to him but the same thing happened to me only fell on the couch I clutched my back instead."-I finally finished.
"It sounds like Jacob's imprint was acting up."-Embry assumed
"No man this was different, this was worse, far more painful."-Jacob shuddered
"Jake that's like the third time that's happened; maybe you should ask Billy about it."-Quil said; Jacob shrugged thinking about it.
"Well how do you feel now?"-Seth asked
"Well I'm fine now just a li-"
"I was talking to Leah."-Seth said to Jacob like he was stupid.
"Oh,"-he said embarrassed.
"I'm fine just my ankle and arm are the problem, but they'll be healed in no time, stupid leeches."-I grumbled and Jacob started looking at me like he was earlier before he freaked out over a splinter. He moved a little ahead of me and kept looking at the ground and surrounding areas then back at me as we walked.
"Leah, why don't you let me carry you?"-he said, turning back to me and making to pick me up and I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Or Seth,"-he amended
"I'm fine; Seth is holding me up mostly anyway."-I answered; he didn't look happy about it but said nothing, just hovered over me.
"So why were you at Leah's house to begin with?"-Brady asked Jacob.
"None of your business."-he said
"Oh I think it is."-Brady said sure of himself, challenging Jacob. Jacob growled a little.
"When did you become her father?"-he said
"I don't have to be her father to want what's best for her or wonder why somebody who is never around suddenly shows up."-Brady said rolling his eyes.
"I'm always at the Clearwaters'"-Jacob defended
"No you were always at the Clearwaters' before you imprinted, now you're only there when you need something, if then."-he said. Jacob was obviously trying to come up with something to say but couldn't.
"I thought so."-Brady scoffed
"Not only was he there he was there all day."-Paul interjected smiling and I groaned knowing he was trying to start trouble.
"Wait, you were at my house…with Leah…all day…alone?"-Seth asked slowly.
"I came looking for you guys but you weren't there. If you remember you went to the movies and didn't even ask me"-Jacob said offended.
"Why would we?"-Collin mumbled and smiled sweetly when Jacob glared at him.
"Yeah no offense Jake, but we didn't really want to deal with the whole imprint pull thing. It's freaky dude; besides you usually say no every time we ask, this is the first time you've ever been upset about it or cared."-Embry explained
"Well you could have at least asked."-he mumbled
"Maybe next time."-Quil said, patting him on the back and he rolled his eyes.
"You know Brady brings up a good point Jake. I get why you were there, but why did you stay once you knew we weren't there?"-Embry asked as he looked at Jacob smirking then looked at Quil who smirked too. Am I missing something?
"Shut up Embry."-Jacob growled
"I happen to think it's a good question."-Quil added and they snickered.
"I said shut the fuck up!"-Jacob shouted and tackled them and they started fighting as the rest of us kept walking.
"Well we know it wasn't to get in Leah's pants."-Paul said and Jacob paused and sat up.
"Excuse me?"-he said
"Well I mean for one you two hate each other-"
"Agreed,"-I interjected and Jacob rolled his eyes.
"And two, you're still up the spawn's ass even with not being able to see her."-Paul shrugged and Jacob stood slowly off the ground.
"I'm not up her ass she's my imprint. I'd think you would understand that seeing as you're imprinted on my sister regardless of how lowly you are."-he said
"At least she's human."-Paul shrugged nonchalantly.
"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?"-Jacob said and at this point everyone stopped walking to watch things unfold.
"Out of all the females you could have imprinted on and out of all of us wolves you go and imprint on a leech and think she shits gold. I would save Rachel over anybody including my mother because she's my imprint, but I'd also try to make sure I try and help somebody else, even Leah, if they were in trouble too. But not turn my back and over a leech spawn hybrid."-Paul said disgusted.
"What's your fucking point?"-Jacob said glaring.
"His point is he might be an imprinted wolf, but he wouldn't turn his back on a fellow pack mate, even Leah, if they were in trouble same time as someone else, even Leah. But we're not surprised you always were a traitor starting back with Bella, so no one was really too surprised you'd go and imprint on a leech. Nessie has you completely under her control, hell her mother does too."-Brady said and Jacob growled. I'm starting to get just a tad bit offended by the even Leah that's getting passed around.
"Who the hell do you think you are to say shit like that to me?"-Jacob seethed
"I didn't say anything you didn't say to Edward a few minutes ago."-Brady concluded and Jacob's face fell and he turned to me.
"I, I didn't mean it Leah honestly."-he said with a sullen look on his face.
"Sure you didn't."-Paul said rolling his eyes.
"Paul,"-Jared chastised.
"Oh come on we all know he meant it, hell he's even done it."-he argued
"Well he's been coming around a lot lately this was just a relapse."Quil defended; Jacob ignored them.
"Leah I would never do that to you. Would I save Nessie, yes, but would I leave you on your own or turn my back on you, hell no. I know I fucked up in the past but it won't happen again. Hell at this point I don't even think it's possible. I mean it Leah, you're important to me, more than either of us knows."-he whimpered and pulled me into a hug whispering his apologies. By the look of distress on his face and pleading in his voice I knew he was being truthful. He was right when he said I was more important to him than either of us knows because I was beginning to feel the same way about him whether I liked it or not.
"Don't ever say or pull any shit like that again and I mean it. This is your only chance."-I mumbled into his chest and he pulled me tighter.
"I promise I won't. I'm so sorry."-he whispered and kissed my head before pulling back still looking remorseful.
"We'll hold you to it."-Brady said; Jacob ignored him.
"Come on Brady let's crash at Paul's place."-Collin said and they looked at each other smiling before taking off towards Paul's house.
"Those fuckers better not!"-Paul yelled
"You know they are."-Jared laughed and Paul growled knowing he was right.
"Well Jake it looks like we're having a sleep over."-Paul smiled at him and Jacob growled.
"You were just going to come over anyway."-he said
"You're right I was."-Paul said unashamed.
"We'll catch you later Jacob."-Embry said and slapped him on the back as he and Quil went towards their houses.
"Come on Leah you need some rest."-Seth said and I rolled my eyes.
"Oh shit!"-I mumbled and groaned while covering my face and Jacob, Seth and Sam panicked.
"Are you alright?"
"I knew I should have carried you!"
"Just breathe Leah."-the idiots shouted at me.
"Would you all shut the hell up!"-I shouted
"What's up Leah?"-Jared asked more civilized.
"I just realized I haven't seen my mom since I left and not only did I phase but I got hurt. She's going to be all up my ass!"-I cried and they laughed.
"It's not funny!"-I exclaimed and pushed off Seth and fell on my ass in the process.
"See, what did I tell you about pushing people?"-Jacob chastised as he rushed to scoop me up and began dusting me off.
"I'm not a child."-I hissed, slapping his hands away and he gave me a look indicating my behavior said otherwise, so I sucked my teeth.
"You might as well get this over with."-Seth chuckled and I groaned again.
"Why don't you just…um…you can always just stay at my place."-Jacob suggested nervously, unsure. Everybody looked at him shocked.
"You are asking Leah to stay the night at your place?"-Jared asked surprised as I was.
"Hmm maybe he did stay to get in her pants."-Paul surmised and Seth punched him.
"Yeah why not I mean you don't want to go home and your bones are still healing, so I can keep an eye on you. And besides I think Billy loves you more than me and would love it, so why not."-he said trying to be nonchalant, but I could hear his heart pounding in his chest and see him swallow nervously.
"Um…no thanks."-I said and for a moment his face fell like a sad puppy before he recovered.
"Fine let your mom attack you with questions, smother you and drench you in that funky ass cream."-he shrugged and my eyes widened at the sheer horror of the whole thing. I looked at Seth who shrugged.
"It's up to you; I'll just let mom know you're safe so she won't freak then crash with Embry at Quil's place."-he said
"Ok then,"-I said and Jacob's eyes widened as a huge smile briefly spread across his face before he tried and failed to appear nonchalant; his heart gave him away yet again and I could feel his excitement and nervousness.
"Cool,"-he shrugged
"So you two are going to spend the night with each other?"-Sam asked before laughing, Paul and Jared following.
"What's so funny?"-Jacob asked offended.
"Oh nothing just that one of you will be dead before sunrise."-Jared laughed
"Hey I can be civilized."-I said offended and they all, even Seth, looked at me skeptically.
"I can go a night with Jacob and not kill him."-even I didn't believe that.
"Who says I'm the one who will be killed?"-Jacob said
"Oh please,"-Seth said rolling his eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean?"-Jacob asked offended.
"That if anybody was to be killed it'd be you."-Sam said and they laughed.
"Why does everybody keep saying that!"-Jacob exclaimed and I laughed that time. Yes, yes I would kill Jacob.
"Well if you're sure, I'll see you later sis."-Seth said then gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"If anything happens Jacob, I'm holding you responsible."-Seth warned
"Don't worry I'll be there."-Paul said flagging his worry off and Jacob growled. Seth chuckled.
"Night guys,"-he called as he jogged off.
"I'll catch you guys in the morning I'm sure Kim is still up waiting for me. Feel better Leah."-Jared said as he walked towards he and Kim's home. It was only me, Jacob, Sam and Paul left as we started towards our respective houses. Sam's place was by Jacob's so he'd be with us until we hit Jacob's house.
I chastised myself realizing I'd be with Jacob all night. Did I not say to myself that I needed a night away from him to get my shit together? I wanted to take it back but I just couldn't and my wolf made me growl every time I went to open my mouth, stupid bitch. This should be fun.
JPOV
I don't know what got in me to ask her to stay but I'm glad it did. I didn't like the idea of her not being near me while she was hurt and neither did wolf Jacob. I could barely hold in how excited and nervous I was that she was staying the night let alone deal with wolf Jacob's crazy ass. He was drooling, wagging his ass, and yipping like a maniac and I was trying my damndest to not do it myself.
If I'm honest I was more than a little hurt when she said no, but when she said yes I thought I'd won the lottery. Did I not just tell myself I needed a good night's sleep away from her to get my shit together? Wolf Jacob scoffed and growled when I went to take back my offer even though I didn't really want to. This should be fun.
AN: Hope you like! Thanks for the reviews, adds & alerts they were much loved. Some of you didn't get why Edward could just read about his punishment when he asked where Jacob has been but just like conversations you can't hear what people don't say. Edward can only read what someone thinks so if any time he doesn't read something that you'd think he would no one was thinking about it.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…so I need you to read then I need you to review…or I'll make you buy Taylor Swift "new" upcoming cd. Seriously this chick needs to get over herself & showed what little class she has by crashing a wedding & disrespecting family when asked to leave. She can't sing, has a million exes, dates for attention & material & always writes about her "past relationships" of which not one was she wrong, she's always the victim. This chick needs to get a life preferably one where I don't have to hear or see her.
