Special Arrangement

Chap20: What's Wrong With Us

Leah looked exhausted and drained as she slumped in Paul's arms. It has been a long night and we all needed some rest; I wanted Leah to get a goodnight's sleep where I knew she'd be safe and I could keep an eye on her, so I was glad I'd suggested she stay with me.

"Come on you look exhausted."-I said quietly as I eagerly took her from Paul and carried her up to my room. I won't lie I sighed satisfied once she was in my arms instead of Paul's and wolf Jacob nodded in agreement and was a little annoyed at the lingering scent of Paul on her. I'm glad he was there to try and soothe her but her bones were resetting now, so he didn't need to be touching her.

I brought her to my room and had to calm my nerves at the thought of her being in here. Gently I placed her on my bed and almost moaned at how perfect she looked in it. Help me!

"Do you need anything, want anything?"-I asked fussing over her: fluffing the pillow, opening the window to keep her cool, then pulling the sheet over her to keep her warm. Wolf Jacob was ready to jump on the floor and be a wolf pelt rug if she wanted it.

"I don't think these will fit you're a lot taller than I am."-Rachel said, coming into my room with clothes for Leah.

"It should be fine."-Leah said as Rachel handed them to her. They both turned to look at me expectantly but for what I didn't know.

"What do you need?"-I asked Leah, ready to run out and get it.

"For you to get out so she can change."-Rachel said

"No,"-I said before I could catch myself and cussed in my head, but I meant it and wolf Jacob approved.

"Um…what?"-Rachel said crossing her arms. I tried to think of an excuse really quickly as to not look like a horny man or stalker and still stay with Leah.

"Well I don't think you're strong enough to lift her."-I said to Rachel.

"What the hell are you talking about?"-she asked

"Leah's ankle is still hurt; can you lift her if she needs you to?"-I asked crossing my arms and high fived myself for my genius comeback.

"Oh I guess you're right."-Rachel said and looked to Leah.

"Just keep your back turned."-she said

"Why, it's not like I haven't seen you naked twice today."-I said and wolf Jacob covered his face with his paw and shook his head; I wanted to face palm myself. They looked at me with their mouths open.

"Turn around,"-Leah hissed and I hurriedly did as ordered. Rachel left the room and shook her head at me on the way out. Wolf Jacob and I wanted so badly to turn around and take a peek and to make sure she didn't need any help, but we didn't want to risk getting caught.

"This is not going to work."-Leah sighed and I turned and squeaked when I saw her in Rachel's Michael Jackson's, This is It Tour Shirt. Leah was definitely not the same size as Rachel; for one the shirt stopped just above her navel and her boobs, oh God! Her boobs were squished into the little shirt immediately drawing my eyes. I know I briefly saw her naked but the mystery of what's under the shirt is just as hot; I gasped in shock when I felt myself getting hard. Oh shit please don't look down Leah, please don't look down I begged in my head.

"This is far too small and I don't even want to think about how the shorts will fit."-she groaned as she held them in front of her and I swallowed when I saw how small they were. I needed to get out of here. I quickly limped to my closet and grabbed a pre-phase shirt and pants.

"Wear this,"-is all I said before I made a beeline for the shower.

After I took a long cold shower,dried off and wrapped my towel around my waist I went to my room and paused realizing, forgetting, Leah was still in there. I poked my head in and saw she was already dressed and sighed relieved and frowned annoyed at this.

"Sorry I uh, forgot to bring clothes with me."-I mumbled and heard her take a sharp breath when she looked up at me; I was naked with just a towel with water trickling down my chest from my hair. I turned to see her looking at me, well my chest and abs. Was Leah checking me out! My wolf danced at the idea but I kept it cool.

"You alright"-I asked and took a step forward and heard her heart pounding.

"No…I um…I was about to sneeze but it never came."-she stuttered trying and failing to keep her eyes off my body. She shifted and that's when I saw her in my clothes from head to toe. The sight was holy! Wolf Jacob went mad and I couldn't keep all his actions in and fight my own reactions to the sight. Her in my clothes was the hottest thing in the world and my possessive side was eating at me and wolf Jacob was trying to claim her; we both wanted to howl. I scanned her body slowly and let my eyes lazily, possessively, drink her in. I growled a deep lustful growl as my towel tented.

"Did you just growl?"-Leah asked breathlessly. I tried my hardest to calm down, but wolf Jacob's crazy ass was making it difficult as he clawed at me to get to her. Who the hell am I kidding it's me too; I want her…bad. I took a deep breath.

"No it was um…my stomach it was growling because…I'm hungry."-I said in a gruff, deep, husky voice I never heard before and, conveniently, my eyes lowered to her crotch that was covered in my pants as I spoke. Suddenly a smell hit my nose, a smell I smelled briefly when we were on the cliffs, a smell I've smelled on women when they look at me, see me shirtless. But this smell was better than that, it was mouthwatering, food for the starving, water for the dehydrated. I couldn't help but close my eyes and inhale deeply and growl as I slowly opened my eyes, locking eyes with Leah and took a step towards her. But alas Rachel chooses that moment to walk in.

"Nock knock! I just wanted to make su-"-she stopped talking when she saw us. She looked between us and I had to bite my lip from shouting and growling at her and to keep wolf Jacob from killing his new target.

"Nothing happened!"-Leah suddenly blurted out.

"Yeah we…uh…nothing happened."-I blurted out.

"He just took a shower that's all."-she continued to babble, flushed and hot as fuck.

"Yeah, I only came in here because she was wet. I mean I was wet, I was wet from the shower and came to get my clothes; there was no wetting of Leah!"-I said hysterically. Rachel looked down at my tented towel and darted her eyes back at Leah. Please let a vampire jump through the window and bite me!

"I just came to check on her. I'll leave you two alone."-she mumbled and backed out of the room and when she turned I saw her eyes wide, mouth dropped and vaguely heard her breathe oh my God.

"I'll just go and…"-I darted out the room, and slammed the bathroom door behind me. I leaned against it breathing hard and heard Rachel whispering to Paul at what happened and groaned when he gasped, said Leah could do better then laughed.

"She is so dead."-I mumbled and got dressed. My erection was affectively gone after that horror fest. The scariest part, wolf Jacob didn't give a shit Rachel was in the room and was still trying to get to Leah while she stood there. So my wolf is crazy and a pervert.

"I can't believe Leah gave me an erection."-I said shaking my head.

"I can, she gave me one last week when she had on those jeans."-I heard Paul say from the other side of the door.

"Shut the fuck up!"-I shouted and hit the door; he laughed and walked away. I slowly went back to my room. I crept the door open and Leah was sitting with her head in her hands as she mumbled to herself and her head snapped up when she heard me come in.

"I just have to grab something."-I said and grabbed some pillows and sheets then headed for the door.

"Don't leave,"-she exclaimed and my heart sped up at what I thought I heard.

"What,"-I said as I turned around.

"Huh,"-she said quickly.

"What did you just say?"-I asked

"What do you mean?"-she said picking her nails.

"Oh uh never mind I thought…goodnight."-I said and wolf Jacob whined as I turned back around.

"Where are you going?"-she asked

"To sleep down stairs on one of the couches."-I said and she looked confused.

"Paul's not allowed to sleep in Rach's room; he learned that the hard way. Never underestimate Billy just because he's in a wheel chair fyi."-I said

"Oh,"-she said

"What,"-I asked

"I didn't know Paul was sleeping on the couch and thought I'd sleep there and you here."-she said

"No you take the bed."-I said and went to leave again.

"It's your room you don't have to leave."-she said quietly, unsure and I turned to her.

"You mean you wouldn't care?"-I asked and she shrugged as she picked at the sheet.

"You can sleep on the floor. I've already seen you naked three times today what else is there to see?"-she said smirking. I cleared my throat to hide the heat in my face and walked over to where my dresser was and made a bed on the floor from blankets and pillows.

"You need anything else before I lie down?"-I asked as I hovered near her and she shook her head.

"Alright then, goodnight Leah."-I said and kissed her head and we both paused surprised. It felt like I was supposed to, like it was natural and I always do it. It shocked the hell out of me! Wolf Jacob was a kid in a candy store; he had Leah in is room, in his clothes, in his bed and just gave her a good night kiss. The fucker was on cloud nine. I can't talk I was on cloud eight and a half.

I quickly turned out the lights and closed the door and got into my makeshift bed. Even with the lights out I can see her and I watched as she settled into the bed and saw when she took a deep inhale of my sheets and closed her eyes. I couldn't help but smile when she did that and wolf Jacob wanted to roll around with his tongue out. Things quieted down for a while before Leah spoke.

"What's wrong with us Jacob?"-I heard her ask and blinked to see her looking right at me; oh shit I forgot she can see me too. I must have zoned out in bliss when she sniffed my sheet.

"What do you mean?"-I asked

"I mean you and me. We've been acting weird all night since running into each other on the cliffs. Honestly things have been weird since you clawed me." me and wolf Jacob winced and he whined. "There is no way you haven't noticed."-she said. Good it wasn't just me.

"Yeah I have."-I admitted

"What do you think is wrong with us?"-she asked as she cautiously turned her body to face me, mindful of her ankle.

"I don't know, but it's weird and annoying."-I said

"Tell me about it! Like right now my wolf is like wagging her ass she's so happy she's in your clothes, bed, and presence. It's fucking ridiculous."-she grumbled

"Pfft mines had an orgasm."-I scoffed and she burst out laughing. I chuckled and wolf Jacob shrugged then stuck his tongue out in glee at her laughter that made my heart speed up.

"He did not."-she giggled as she came down from her laughing high and I had to smile at that.

"No but almost. Wolf Jacob was the one who was acting like a rapist when you were in the bushes earlier just so you know. And he's the one who was acting all crazy paranoid when the whole splinter thing happened."-I told her even though that was only partially true.

"Who the hell is wolf Jacob?"-she asked confused.

"My wolf, he was making such a strong presence that I just gave him a name."-I said

"I guess I should call mine wolf Leah then. She wasn't acting as crazy as wolf Jacob but she watched and watches everything you did and do how you acted and act."-she said and that made wolf Jacob stop and listen and he would have taken notes if he could. It also put me on alert to not do anything stupid or lame knowing Leah was watching. Suddenly I wanted to prove my masculinity and how good of a man and wolf I am and that no one is stronger and a better fighter or protector. I groaned trying to suppress the need to take my shirt off and show her my muscles then run and kill the biggest deer and bring it to her; she chuckled.

"Wolf Jacob,"-she asked

"Wolf Jacob,"-I confirmed

"Maybe we just need some sleep."-she said and I nodded and we just looked at each other for a moment.

"Why did you sit in my lap when we were on the cliffs?"-I asked out of nowhere; she looked embarrassed.

"I…I was just teasing. You were talking real big and I had to prove you wrong. Which I did by the way."-she said

"Sure,"-I said rolling my eyes.

"It's the truth I was just playing around, honest."-she said but shrunk into the mattress; I laughed.

"Oh so you want to laugh. Why when I sat in your lap did you get a boner?"-she asked as she glared at me. I choked on my next laugh and wolf Jacob shrugged unashamed.

"Not laughing now are you?"-she said smugly and I sputtered.

"I…I had something in my pocket."-I said and palmed my face at the lameness of it. She laughed and wolf Jacob sighed but smiled at her laughing.

"Smooth,"-she chuckled

"Shut up,"-I said

"So I guess you had something in your towel too"-she said and I gasped and cussed. Damn I didn't think she saw that.

"Look, whatever out of the ordinary reaction or behavior that was geared towards you that's been happening has nothing to do with me it was all on my wolf. He's the one doing it and it'll pass, so you don't have to worry about it much longer and things will go back to normal and I'll get back to being me."-I said far more harshly then I meant to; I was embarrassed and took it out on her. I looked over at her and her face had fallen, no trace of the laughter or joking manner from before.

"So everything you did today was a result of your wolf; none of it was you?"-she asked

"Leah-"

"Goodnight Jacob,"-she said and turned so her back was to me. I sighed and cussed myself and wolf Jacob was angry and kept trying to urge me to fix this. When she turned her bad ankle ended up under her and I heard her hiss and saw her trying to position it so she was comfortable. I got up and went to help her.

"I don't need your help."-she said glaring at me angrily. I recoiled at the look in her eyes; she was angry and…sad.

"Yes you do."-I said and continued to help her anyway.

"Let me rephrase, I don't want your help so just go back over there or better yet go sleep on the couch like you planned."-she said and I looked back at her and saw her anger but most importantly hurt in her eyes. I finished fixing her leg and reached out to grab her hand but she pulled it away and turned from me. I sighed and sat on the bed, balling my fist to keep from touching her.

"Look I'm sorry about how I talked to you. I didn't mean for it to come out so harshly."-I said but she kept her back to me not saying anything. I sighed and scrubbed my face.

"I'm lost. I'm imprinted and I'm acting like a fool over someone who isn't my imprint, over you."-I said

"Gee thanks."-she scoffed with her back still to me.

"I didn't mean it like that."-I said and she turned to me and sat up.

"So how did you mean it Jacob?"-she said glaring at me.

"I meant because you and I, we hate each other, we argue all the time and we never agree on anything yet here I am almost busting my pants all because you're wearing my clothes. One minute I'm me then I'm wolf Jacob then I'm me and wolf Jacob. This shit is tiresome and it's making feel bipolar."-I said and she chuckled; I wanted to admit some of the out of the norm behavior was me too but I was too chicken shit to say it.

"Doesn't your wolf act this way with the spawn?"-she asked and I surprisingly didn't growl at her name for Nessie. Leah refuses to call her by her name or my nickname and usually it starts a war, but I really couldn't give a shit right now. This is the bipolar shit I'm talking about.

"No he doesn't; actually it's kind of the opposite. It's like he's not even there sometimes when she's around and lately it's taken an effort to feel uncontrollable rage if someone bad mouths her."-I said just realizing it; that's interesting. Wolf Jacob shook his head as if I just didn't get it.

"You mean like when Edward brought her up and you didn't really growl or look on the verge of phasing?"-she asked and come to think of it I didn't. I only became livid when he talked about Leah.

"Yeah I guess so."-I said

"Why didn't Edward know about the punishment?"-she asked

"What,"-I asked

"When he started talking about her and asked you why you weren't around, why didn't he read it in your thoughts? I get the rest of the packs didn't give a shit and weren't thinking about it, me included, but I'd assume he'd read it in your head."-she said

"Well I wasn't thinking about it. I was too angry to think about it. I was furious they'd let leeches come through their land and took the time to think about whether or not they were going to see what was going on which resulted in you getting hurt. Then he starting accusing you and that really pissed me off. I wasn't thinking about the punishment and I didn't appreciate him questioning me like a child or like I'm their fucking dog."-I said and growled getting mad but calmed down; the prospect of hurting Leah calmed me and wolf Jacob immediately. She nodded and leaned back. There was a pause in our conversation and our fingers brushed against each other releasing jolts right to my heart. I let my fingers linger and she didn't move her hand away either.

"I wonder how that newborn bloodsucker advanced in turning into a vampire so quickly."-she mused

"Yeah that was strange. Since when do leeches change that quickly? He looked like he was in pain and was still turning but whatever was in that leeches venom changed him fast."-I mused and decided to bring it to the packs' attention.

"I just hope they were the only ones with that ability and don't have any angry vengeful friends we need to worry about."-Leah said as she lay back down; I caught myself just when I was about to lie next to her.

"Yeah we don't need any more vengeful vampires; we've reached our quota."-I said and sat there awkwardly for a minute before going back to my makeshift bed and lying down. I stared at the ceiling, stealing glances at Leah every now and then.

"Can I ask you something?"-she asked after a while.

"Sure,"-I said and flipped onto my stomach with my head on my hands, looking at her.

"Why did you get so angry when I was flirting with Liam?"-she asked and that surprised me. I had to wipe my face on my arm to keep from curling my lip over my teeth.

"I don't like him, he's not human and I think he's dangerous. I don't want him near you I don't trust him"-I said trying to keep the anger out of my voice.

"Well you don't know that and you really got mad at me. It's not like it's any of your business who I flirt with anyway."-she said and wolf Jacob looked at her like she was crazy as did I.

"Yes it is my business."-I said and this time the anger came through.

"How, I'm not you daughter, you're not my brother and I' not your girl or imprint. So how the hell is it any of your business?"-she said with an attitude as she looked at me hard.

"You are my business Leah whether you like it or not! And for his own safety he better leave you alone."-I said getting angrier.

"Oh please you had an attitude even when you thought he was my imprint. Is who I imprint on your business too?"-she exclaimed and I jumped up and dashed to her.

"Any person talking to you that isn't pack that has a dick is my business, any guy who tries to get with you is my business, any guy you think you're going to get with is my business and you are not going to imprint. Do you understand me?"-I growled standing over her. Wolf Jacob and I were so furious at what she was saying it was potent; I wanted to defile this bed in every way possible to get through her head. The nerve of her thinking she's going to imprint or will be with any other man! She is mine! I recoiled at that last thought and stumbled back.

"I need some air."-I mumbled and didn't even bother using the door, just jumped out of the window and took off for the forest.

This situation is getting out of hand and driving me crazy! Now I'm staking claim to her as mines, what the hell! I have an imprint how could I be feeling this way and so intently?

Wolf Jacob became doormat as suddenly Nessie's face shot to my mind with a vengeance and I crumbled to the ground in pain; thoughts of her flashed through my mind like a movie on fast-forward. After so much time away from her and not thinking of her it was overwhelming and I retched in pain on the ground. I gasped for air and broke out in a sweat as the images began to slow. The images settled on one of Nessie laughed as she played chess in the grass with Edward as Bella sat on his left smiling; I remember that day. Esme was cooking a new recipe while Carlisle helped her and Jasper and Emmett played football. The tug continued but suddenly in the memory Leah was in the background by the trees and was wearing dirty clothes having just phased back from running her patrol and looked angry, exhausted and miserable as her hair knotted up with twigs, a complete contrast of the Cullens perfect happy appearances. She looked over at me and shook her head before storming off, fading within the trees. In all this time I never even noticed she was there that day or that she looked directly at me.

The memory rewound and paused when Leah was in the background looking miserable and the Cullens were mid laugh. My wolf showed back up and whined as the image zoomed in on her face. I felt like shit and saw just how miserable she was, they were, while the Cullens did nothing but live their lives. Wolf Jacob growled and shook and I needed to get my head cleared, so I phased and went for a long run.

AN: Hope you like! Thanks for the reviews, adds, faves, alerts they are much loved especially the reviews I always love hearing from my readers n my reviews. I was really into this while I was editing as if this was real or I didn't write it lol. But I like when that happens/c that means it's good or at least something that I would read. I never want to give you something that I myself wouldn't even like.

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 Dina Lohan adopt you *shivers* Can you imagine having her as your mother smh. She was so phony on Dr. Phil and I'm sure she's loving the press and "Dr." Phil was no better, instigating her behavior with his fake nonsense attitude, loving the ratings. The interview (what I watched) was lame, Dina was fake & Dr, Phil was lame.
