Chapter 13

I felt overwhelmed with feelings at this moment I was finding it hard to concentrate. Here I was sitting on a picnic blanket with the love of my life sitting beside me, holding one of my delicate hands in his and his other held out the black velvet box with the most beautiful engagement ring in it. We we're both only sixteen and weren't exactly ready to get married just yet but the engagement ring meant that I was his, that we would get married and that I was taken. I know some girls would say no to a young engagement but they didn't have a Jacob and they weren't imprinted on so I would never consider myself one of those girls because I am one hundred percent positive that I am crazy in love with Jacob Black and tonight I would make him the happiest man on earth. Hell, he's making me the happiest girl on earth.

His eyes we're gazing intently I mine, searching for my answer but I wouldn't make him wait any longer, I was practically jumping with excitement internally.

"Yes Jacob, YES, I'll marry you, I love you more than anything!," I squealed, throwing my arms around his neck, kissing his cheek.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, still holding the velvet box in his hand and squeezed me lovingly, "Oh Eva, you have no idea how happy I am right now, I love you,".

"I love you too Jake, so much," I told him happily as I unwrapped my arms from around his neck and pulled away, sitting on my knees in front of him.

He smiled so wide that I didn't even know it was possible and took my hand in his as he removed the ring from its box. I was shaking with excitement as he took my ring finger in his large hand and slipped the ring on it.

"It's so beautiful!," I smiled as I examined it on my finger. It looked beautiful under the moonlight.

"A beautiful ring on a beautiful girl," he said, taking my hand in his and bringing it up to his lips, kissing it.

"So should we tell our parents? The pack? Friends? Family?," I asked, truly wondering whether we should or shouldn't, we we're still very young.

He placed my hand back on my knee and patted the space between his legs. I crawled over to him and sat in his lap, his arms wrapping around me, kissing my head, "I don't know, my dad already knows that I planned on asking you tonight so we can tell him. The pack will be cool about it so yeah I guess I should tell them but I'm not sure about your mom, does she want her daughter engaged at sixteen?,".

I leaned me head against his shoulder and looked up at him, "I don't know Jake, I mean she's a great mom, always there to talk to me, such a friendly woman but I'm her only child and I'm not sure how she's going to react,".

I seriously didn't. I mean I loved my mom to bits but she could be a little over protective. She hasn't got anyone except for me, Grandma and her new boyfriend Shayne. It's a shame she doesn't have any brothers or sisters. If I really started thinking about my mom, I'd probably end up in tears at how messed up her life is and I was too happy right now to even start thinking about that.

Jacob started playing with my fingers, "Well we can wait, we don't have to tell her right now,".

I nodded, "Yeah okay, maybe I should tell her myself,".

"Yeah whatever way is best Eva, oh and about your friends, you can tell them all you want but I'd prefer you to told your mom first,".

"Yeah definitely, I wouldn't leave her to last, so you want to go tell Billy the news?," I asked smiling up at him.

He smiled back, "Sure, I just want to try something first,".

Before I could even imagine what he wanted to try, he stood up with me in his arms, kicking off his shoes and pulling off mine and started running towards the water. I screamed, tightening my grip on Jakes neck, as he carried me bridal style towards the sea.

"Jake! What on earth are you doing? Oh my god Jake don't, I'll be drenched," I squealed.

He laughed, running into the water, "I'll dry you up when we're done,".

"How?,".

"With my body temperature, I'll hold you in my arms for ten minutes and you'll be dry, promise,".

"But Jake it's cold, the water is freezing," it was true, I could feel it hitting off of my toes as we got deeper.

"I'll keep you warm," he said, still smiling then he stopped, eyeing me with a sly grin on his face, "You ready?,".

I frowned confused by what he meant then it dawned on me, he was going to throw me in and as much as I hate to admit, I can't swim but he already knows that.

"Jake no, I'm afraid, you know I can't swim," I said, tightening my grip on his neck.

He chuckled, "No worries, I'll be right beside you before you know it, one… two,".

"Jake no!,".

"Three," and he threw me into the water.

At first I just saw black as I fell deep into the water. I started to panic then, kicking my legs and throwing my arms all over the place in an attempt to swim but failing miserably. Just as I thought I was going to drown, I felt a pair of strong, warm arms wrap around my waist and bring me up.

As soon as my head left the water I was gasping, my breathing erratic. I felt two warm hands turn me around by my shoulders and I was facing Jake.

"It's only water Eva, I told you I'd be right beside you," he laughed, water dripping off of his hair, onto his now drenched black shirt.

"No," I took a deep breath, "No you weren't right beside me the instant I fell Jake, I was terrified,".

He laughed once again and pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around me. I hadn't noticed how cold I was until his warmth surrounded me. I leaned into his chest, enjoying the moment.

"I'm sorry I frightened you Eva," he whispered, running his hand through my hair.

I kissed his chest which unfortunately was covered with a shirt, "I forgive you because I love you,".

"Love you too," he said, tilting my chin up with his warm hand, gazing into my eyes, "Kiss me," he whispered.

I leaned into him, feeling his warm breath on my face before pressing my lips to his gently. He sighed, placing his hand onto the back of my neck and pulling me in closer to him. I parted my lips for him to deepen the kiss which he did and my hands found their way into his hair, gripping it, holding him in place as we both kissed each other senseless. I moaned into his mouth as he began nibbling on my bottom lip and sucking it into his mouth. I was so in love with him, so happy to be engaged to him that I felt as though I could run a marathon. We continued to kiss passionately in the water and I really was floating, it felt wonderful.

After a while we decided it best to head back and tell Billy the big news but before we could do that, Jake had to dry himself and I up which didn't take long considering how hot he was. We we're soon back in his Rabbit, heading towards his house.

"Oh Jake you have no idea how happy I am right now," I told him, smiling at our joined hands.

"Oh I have an idea, I'm practically squealing with joy internally," he laughed, glancing at me.

I chuckled, "How about we squeal our way into your house, I'm sure Billy would get the message," I joked.

He laughed once again, "Great idea, I think we should, I'm sure he'd just love the noise,".

"Jake I'm nervous," I blurted out.

He frowned glancing over at me, "What, why?,".

I shrugged, "I just am, with telling your dad the news now and all,".

He waved it off, "Please, my dad wont over react, he'll be happy for us Eva, don't be like that, I'm right here with you,".

I smiled, feeling slightly better, "Thanks Jake,".

"No problem,".

We arrived at Jake's house five minutes later. My heart was thudding in my chest and I could hear it loud in my ears. Yes I was really nervous about telling Billy the news, I guess it's because he's going to be the first to know but in another way I feel so excited about it that I can't wait for everyone to know.

It was hard to believe that only a few months ago me and Jake we're just friends. He was just Jacob and I was just Eva. He was human and we we're unaware of the mythical creatures that surrounded us. I was madly in love with him but he was madly in love with Bella Swan. He told me a while ago that he realized that he actually loved me more than he loved Bella that day we had an argument about him letting Bella ride in his Rabbit before his close friends did but he was so caught up in his feelings for Bella that he hadn't noticed. We had some fun times together before his transformation, along with Quil and Embry. I'll never forget those days.

"Hey Eva, you ready?," Jacob asked, snapping me out of my thoughts as he held my door open for me.

I laughed, "Yeah, I was just thinking,".

I stepped out and he took my hand in his as we made our way into the Black's household. It was pretty warm inside his house, probably because it was so small. I always considered this house to be cozy. It made me feel at home, probably because home lived here, Jacob was home to me.

We entered the small living room, to find Billy seated in his wheelchair watching the TV. He glanced up at us as we entered, "Hello Fay, how are you?," he asked smiling.

"Great thanks," I answered, smiling back, gripping Jacobs hand in mine.

"Eh dad, we've come here to tell you some news," Jacob said, staring at his father.

"Go ahead son," Billy said, turning off the TV and looking at us expectantly.

Jacob smiled, glancing at me then back at his father, "We're engaged,".

Billy smiled so wide, with his arms held open, "Congratulations son, Fay, come here,".

Jacob smiled and went over to his father to give him a tight hug, "Thanks dad,".

After Jacob was done hugging Billy, I went over to Billy and hugged him, "Fay, I'm so happy for you and Jacob, I know you're perfect for each other," he said as I pulled away from his embrace.

"Thanks Billy," I smiled, taking Jacob's hand back in mine as we stood in front of Billy.

"I've been waiting for the day to see my son engaged and now that it's finally here I couldn't have been happier, so are you going to tell your mother Fay?,".

I sighed, "Not right now Billy, I'm not sure how she'll take it with me being so young and her only child,".

He nodded, "Well whenever you feel is best Fay, son are you going to tell the pack?,".

"Yeah I guess, they've just got to keep quiet about it, we don't want Liz to hear about it before Fay tells her,".

It felt kind of odd hearing my mother's name being said, I'm so used to saying mom and hearing Grandma saying, 'your mother' that I always notice when someone uses her name.

"Yeah well that's the best news I've heard in ages, you want me to order Pizza?," Billy asked, wheeling himself out into the hall.

"Sure dad, thanks," Jacob called after him and smiled down at me, "You see it wasn't that bad,".

I chuckled, "I know, it wasn't bad at all,".

The rest of the night was spent in Jake's. The Pizza was delivered, me and Billy ate it while Jake wolfed it. We talked and laughed. Billy went to bed and so it left me and Jacob alone. Jacob decided we watch at movie, so I agreed and the rest of the night was spent laughing our heads off at this silly comedy movie he played for us.

It was eleven thirty by the time the movie ended and I needed to get home. Jacob walked me to my house which I realized was empty when I opened the door.

"Hey Jake, you want to come in? mom's not home," I asked as he stood behind me.

"Sure," he smiled.

We entered the quiet house and I headed into the kitchen for a drink. Mom must still be out with Shayne. I spotted the roses Jake had got me earlier in the vase and I smiled. That was before he proposed to me and I had no clue he was going to bring it up at the time.

I sighed dreamily as I admired the ring on my finger for the millionth time. I better take it off before mom sees it.

"Jake," I said as I sat down beside him on the sofa.

"Yes baby?," he smiled, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"Do you want to sleep with me tonight? Mom's not home and you can leave through the window in the morning,".

"Sure Eva, I always want to be with you," he kissed my cheek, "Just no funny business okay," he joked.

I laughed, "Okay daddy,".

I ran up the stairs before him so I could use the bathroom. I took my pajamas in with me and brushed my teeth. I was happy that he was going to sleep with me tonight, simply because it was him, my love and that I always slept peacefully when I was in his arms.

I was done in the bathroom after five minutes and switched the light off. I walked over to my bedroom and froze in my place.

There he was with his back to me, standing in front of my bedside table taking off his shirt. The fact that the light was out and just the bedside lamp was on added effect. His body glowed in the dim light, the muscles in his back rippling as he pulled off his shirt. He was so beautiful. So gorgeous. So sexy.

He froze for a second as though he knew he was being watched and turned around, grinning at me, "Caught you,".

I blushed, shutting the door behind me, locking it and making my way over to the bed, eyeing him before I slipped in.

"What?," he asked, looking around him.

"You can take your pants off only if you're wearing underwear," I chuckled.

He laughed, "Well I'm glad to say I am, thanks,".

I shook my head and slipped into bed, resting my head on my pillow as I watched Jake unbutton his jeans and pull down the zipper.

I bit my lip as he gripped the waist of his jeans and slid them down over his black boxers and down his muscular legs. He straightened up again, giving me a look before slipping into bed with me.

He propped himself up on his elbow and smiled down at me, "I can't wait for us to live together, to be able to sleep with you every night, to see you when I wake up in the morning, to hold and love you whenever I want,".

I smiled, reaching up and tracing the outline of his lips, "Me too," I whispered.

"Have you thought about college?," he asked.

I shook my head, brushing my fingers over his cheek, "No, I don't want to go, I want to be with you, it hurts when you're not near,".

He smiled happily, "Really? I thought that maybe… you would want to,".

"No, I don't Jake, what about you?," I asked, my fingers now trailing down his neck.

"I… I…," he stuttered, sighing as I trailed my fingers down his chest, "I have to stay here, I'm a protector so that is my job, besides I feel the same way as you, it hurts when you're not near, maybe I could get a job at a garage, I'm good at mechanics,".

"Yeah, you are, you built that Rabbit all by yourself," I smiled, gazing up at him.

He licked his lips, "Yeah… Eva that feels good," he said closing his eyes.

I was rubbing his shoulder, maybe he needed a good massage after all the running he does as a wolf, "Do you want a massage?,".

He nodded, his eyes still closed, "Yeah, that would be great,".

He sat up then and I slid in behind him, pressing my hands on his shoulders and began messaging them. I had no previous experiences with massaging but it seemed like I was doing a good job because he moaned in satisfaction a couple of times.

My hands we're starting to become sweaty with his body heat and I found myself drifting off a couple of times. Every time I massaged his shoulders, I admired the engagement ring on my finger and smiled. This was heaven.

"Jake," I stopped and wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my cheek on his shoulder, "I'm so tired," I said sleepily.

He placed his hand on top of mine which was hanging near his chest, "Thanks for the massage baby, I feel a lot better," he said and turned around, caressing my cheek, "Get some sleep, come on,".

I slipped back into my side of the bed and snuggled up into Jake as he wrapped his arms securely around me, "I love you," I whispered.

"Love you too," he whispered back and I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

~*~

I awoke the next morning dripping in sweat. I knew it was from Jake, his arms we're still wrapped around me as though he hadn't moved an inch since last night. I obviously hadn't moved an inch since last night either.

I glanced down at his arms around me and noticed my white vest clung to my body from the sweat. My hair was stuck on my cheeks and neck and I needed to take a shower, not that I minded that Jake made me sweat, it's a part of who he is and I love him none the less.

I carefully untangled his arms from around me and slipped out of bed. He was obviously conked out this morning because last time I woke up in his arms he wouldn't let me go.

I tip toed to the door and quietly unlocked it, stepping out and closing it behind me. I looked down the hall and noticed mom's bedroom door was open, hmm wonder if she's still here since I have no clue what time it is.

I tip toed down the stairs and into the kitchen. Nope, no sign of her but she was obviously in the kitchen because there was an empty coffee cup in the sink. Maybe she's gone shopping? What time is it anyway?

I glanced up at the kitchen clock. It was two thirty! Damn, we slept in too late.

I decided to call my mom's cell to see where she was.

"Hi honey,".

"Hey mom, where are you?,".

"Me and Shayne are gone out for lunch, I'll probably drop by the grocery store on my way home, so what kept you in bed until… two o'clock!,".

"Eh… I was just really tired mom, it's a Saturday so I get to sleep in,".

I heard her laugh at something Shayne said, "Alright honey, expect me back by four,".

"Ok bye," I said and shut my cell.

I ran back up the stairs and tip toed back into my room. Jacob was now laying flat on his stomach, snoring quietly.

I chuckled and headed over to my closet to grab myself a black t-shirt and jeans then headed over to my matching drawers and took out a white bra and panties.

The shower felt so relaxing once I stepped in. I made sure I took off my ring and placed it on my bedside table before I headed into the bathroom incase I forgot to remove it before mom got back as much as I didn't want to.

When I was done showering, I pulled on my clothes and dried my hair. I wasn't sure what I and Jake we're going to do today but it didn't really matter, as long as I was with him.

I made my way back into the bedroom and found Jake sitting up on the bed rubbing his eyes.

"Good afternoon Jake," I smiled, searching for my black flats under the bed.

"What time is it?," he groaned.

I slipped on my flats and looked up at him, "It's two thirty,".

His eyes grew wide, "Seriously? Shit! My dad's probably wondering where I am,".

"You can call him if you want," I suggested, taking out my cell from my jeans pocket.

He shook his head, "No it's okay, I'll explain to him later,".

"Oh okay," I shoved it back in my pocket, "Eh in case you we're wondering, I took off the ring in case mom saw it, sorry, I hated to do it,".

He lifted himself off the bed and waved me off, "Whatever you want Eva,".

I smiled and went over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist, "So what you want to do today?," I mumbled against his chest.

"Anything you want Eva but I'd like to take a shower if you don't mind," he said, running his fingers through my hair.

"Sure," I backed away, "I'll make you breakfast,".

He smiled, "Thanks,".

~*~

My mom got back an hour later than she had told me which was five. Me and Jake just hung out at the sofa watching TV and I kept thinking about telling mom about our engagement. I was so incredibly happy about it but I was afraid she'd freak out and dampen the mood, especially in front of Jake.

Maybe I should tell her later… or tomorrow when Jake isn't around because as much as I get along with my mom, she's a pretty weak person and I'm just afraid of her reaction.

Jake left at around six, telling me he better go see Billy before he gets into trouble. I laughed, as if a guy like Jake could get into trouble.

~*~

Jake took me out that night down to first beach. It was nice just to lay there in the sand and talk, it was so peaceful. When the day comes, I want to get married on First Beach.

"Jake?," I said looking up at him as I lay beside him, his arm wrapped around me.

"Yeah?," he smiled.

"I want to marry you on First Beach,".

When I told him that, a thought seemed to cross his mind and he sat up. I sat up as well, wondering what he was thinking about. We were sitting on the sand, the sea facing us, it was so beautiful but what was Jake thinking?

"Eva," he said, gazing down at me, taking my hands in his, "When do you want to marry me?,".

The question caught me off guard. I wasn't sure how to answer it. I wanted to marry him once I was done with school, I might as well be honest.

"I want to marry you when I'm done with school,".

He smiled at me then, his eyes dazed, "Me too, I want to marry you as soon as possible,".

I smiled up at him wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him deeply, the kiss had so much meaning in it. He moaned into my mouth and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. I loved him so much.

I pulled away from him for a second to ask him something, "Jake, did you tell the pack?,".

He nodded, out of breath, "Yeah, they said congratulations,".

I smiled, taking his face in my hands and pressing my lips to his once again. We kissed passionately for what seemed like hours until we broke apart, out of breath.

He lay back down in the sand, pulling me down with him as we watched the stars.

"You know if you focus on one star, all the others disappear," he whispered.

"Really? Let me try," I smiled.

I looked up into the sky and chose a star to focus on and it was true, all the others disappear.

"Yeah, you're right Jake, I never thought of doing that before,".

He kissed my cheek, "You learn something new every day,".

I suddenly felt so happy and had the urge to tell my mom that I was engaged. It couldn't be that bad, she would be happy for me right? She liked Jake.

"Jake I'll tell her," I said sitting up, "I'm going to tell mom we're engaged,".

He sat up and took my face in his hands, staring into my eyes deeply, "Are you sure?,".

"Yes, I'm positive but I'm doing it alone, I think it's better that way,".

He nodded, "Okay,".

Jake dropped me off outside my house and kissed me goodnight, telling me he'd drop by tomorrow.

I smiled and let myself inside, taking a deep breath and heading towards the kitchen.

"Mom,".

"Yes honey,".

I entered the kitchen and found her sitting at the table sipping coffee, she smiled up at me.

"Mom, I've got some news," I told her, smiling brightly.

She smiled, setting her coffee on the table, "Yes honey, what is it?,".

I sat down facing her at the table and took a deep breath, "Me and Jake are engaged,".

I have never felt so afraid of someone's opinion in my life. My mother's expression was unreadable. Her face was expressionless and she looked frozen just sitting there, staring off into space.

My heart was thudding in my chest waiting for her to say something. It was a about ten minutes later when she finally broke the silence.

"You are aware you're only sixteen Eva," she said, seriously.

I nodded, "Yes but I love him, age doesn't count,".

"So that's how it is with you two, you both ignore age and go with your instincts,".

My jaw dropped, "What are you implying mom?,".

"I'm implying," she stood up, taking a deep breath, "That you're too young to be engaged, what was that boy thinking? He may look twenty six but he's sixteen, what would his father think? I'm sure he hasn't even told him, he's just making you believe that he'll marry you so he can use you, I think you should take a break from him" she spat.

I was shocked. My eyes we're wide, my jaw dropped. I was so hurt, how could she say that? How could she be so cruel? I felt tears forming in my eyes and I tried to blink them away.

"How could you say that? How could you mom? He loves me, I love him, we already told Billy last week about our engagement and he was so happy, I didn't want to tell you because I thought you would freak out which you did. I…," tears spilled from my eyes, "I can't believe you, how could you be so heartless?,".

I jumped up from my seat at the table and ran up to my room. Leaving my mom to stare at me in shock in the kitchen. I threw open my bedroom door and shut it behind me, struggling to lock it and then I broke down. I fell onto my bed and cried my heart out. How could she be so cruel to me? I never expected it to be that bad. I needed Jake with me right now, I needed him to comfort me but he wasn't here, probably out patrolling.

I continued to cry into my pillow, my head hurt from all the crying and the hiccups started. I was so hurt, her words cut deep down into my soul. Is that how she sees Jake? She sees him as a user? She sees me as a fool?

What would tomorrow bring?
