A/N: Hey guys! Alright so some of you commented in last chapter that you think there's a lemon in this chapter, well I'm sorry if this disappoints you but I won't be writing a lemon. This fic is rated T and I intend to keep it that way. Also I have never written a lemon so it would probably suck. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the chapter and thanks a million for reading and reviewing!
Chapter 15
It was 10pm already so I decided to clean up a bit before Jake got back. I started with the living room to the kitchen and so on until the place looked decent. The rain seemed to be getting heavier and there was constant thunder and lightning. I didn't mind though, I liked storms. I liked how you could stay in and get cozy by the fire and considering mom wasn't coming home and Jake was staying over, definitely made storms more likable.
Just as I sat down on the living room couch, the hall door opened and I knew it was Jake because I left the door unlocked for him so he could get in himself. I stood up and made my way into the hall to find a dripping wet Jake shutting the door behind him.
He smiled once he saw me, "Hey, eh… sorry bout," he gestured to himself, "Getting all wet… there's a big storm,".
I waved him off, "I know, you were protecting the people of La Push's butt's so I don't mind,".
He laughed, "I knew you'd understand, so um… you don't mind me using your eh… shower?,". Now it was my turn to laugh, he was so awkward. "What?," he asked, unaware of his awkwardness.
I shook my head, "Of course you can use my shower Jake, you're my fiancée after all,".
He smiled, heading towards the stairs, "Oh Eva?," he asked, looking over his shoulder, "Do you mind coming up here with me, I eh… my um Jeans are soaked so I'm gonna hand you them when I take them off so you can eh, dry them…,".
"Geez Jake, don't be so awkward around me, I won't bite you," I joked, following him up the stairs.
He chuckled, "I hope not,".
I waited for him outside the bathroom door as he undressed until he opened the door a crack and held out his dripping jeans. I quickly took them from him and headed downstairs laughing to myself. I was laughing at how awkward he was acting, maybe it has something to do with spending the night here. I threw his jeans into the dryer and turned it on. Wonder what mom would say if we forgot about them. I'm sure they're would be a lot of questions and I definitely wouldn't want to answer them.
I walked over to the fridge and scanned it to find something to eat. There was left over pizza so I pulled it out and popped it into the microwave, knowing that Jake was always hungry. I then pulled out three Pepsi cans, one for me two for Jake and brought them out into the living room, setting them on the coffee table.
I made my way back into the kitchen with the intention on keeping an eye on the pizza but stopped short when I saw who was standing there. "Hi Jake, that was quick," I said staring at him as he checked on the pizza. He was for the third time in my life, naked with just a white towel wrapped around low on his waist.
He grinned at me, "You know, if I knew that looking like this had that effect on you, I'd be looking like this all the time," he joked, walking over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me into a hug.
"Oh really? I kinda like the sound of that," I murmured against his chest.
"Oh yeah?," he breathed against my neck, kissing it.
"Mhm, hey do you remember that one time at school Evan Matthews ran after Chad Connelly in his towel?,".
Jake stopped kissing my neck and pulled away, crossing his arms over his chest, rolling his eyes, "Yes, I do actually… I remember you and Amber Cross gushing over his and I quote, 'absolutely amazing six pack',".
I laughed out loud at his impression of a girly voice and smacked him playfully across his arm, "Oh please, it was an amazing six pack, it wasn't like you cared what I thought anyway…," I trailed off, remembering when Jake only saw me as a friend.
He rose his eyebrows, "Of course I did! I felt like an unattractive six packless kid around you after that until I started bulking up," he winked.
"Like I believe that Jake, anyway pizza's ready," I said, walking over to the microwave and turning it off, pulling out the pizza.
"Um is the eh, jeans dry?," he asked awkwardly behind me. I didn't know why though.
"Check the timer," I told him, placing the pizza on a plate, leaving it to cool.
I turned around to find him taking out his jeans from the dryer, he looked up at me, his face expressionless, "I'm gonna head upstairs to put these on," he said before walking off.
What was up with him? Only minutes ago he was all happy and lovey dovey and now he's like… weird.
I sunk myself into the couch and started on my pizza, I wasn't that hungry really but I knew Jake was so that's the main reason I heated up the pizza. I wondered what it would be like to live with Jake, to be… married to Jake. I imagined it to be nice, really nice, incredible actually. Just the thought of waking up next to him was heaven. I would see him all the time, at breakfast, at lunch and at dinner. He was also my best friend, so we could spend endless hours chatting and joking and laughing without being interrupted. Maybe after a year we could have a baby- okay stop right there Eva. What the… we aren't even married yet… I, me, baby?... okay that thought is for another time.
I hadn't even noticed Jake sitting next to me on the couch, eating pizza since I was so wrapped up in my thoughts. Usually Jake would interrupt my thoughts, wanting to know what I was thinking about but he didn't this time.
I glanced at him beside me but he was eating a pizza slice, staring at the blank TV screen in front of us. He wasn't eating the pizza slice at his usual fast pace but slowly, like myself or any human being. Did I say something to upset him? No, I don't remember him getting upset over anything. I shook my head and grabbed the remote switching the TV on, settling on an old episode of The Simpsons.
Jake remained silent throughout the whole episode and I was starting to feel very awkward around him. I glanced over at him a couple of times but he didn't seem to notice or he was ignoring me, I had no idea what was up with him.
I switched off the TV once The Simpsons was over and turned to look at him. My eyes widened with shock to see him with his head in his hands.
"Jake?," I placed my hand on his shoulder, "Jake what's wrong?,".
He shook his head, obviously not wanting to answer me but I wouldn't give up that soon, "Jake, what's wrong? You can tell me, I'm here for you, like always," I said softly to him.
He sighed, looking up at me with tear streaked cheeks, "I have to go," he said before jumping up off the couch and barging out of the house, the door slamming behind him.
I sat there frozen in my place, my jaw hanging open as I stared after him. What's up with him? Why is he upset? Did something happen that I don't know about? But there was no way I was going after him in the storm, I can still hear the thunder.
I sighed upset that he just left and looked up at the clock, it was exactly 12am. I pondered in my mind whether I should go to bed or not but I couldn't bring myself to do so because Jake was hurting and his hurt is my hurt, I could already feel the tears building up in my eyes for him and the tugging on my heart because he wasn't near.
Just then my cell vibrated off of the coffee table so I picked it up and looked at the caller ID, it was mom. What the hell does she want?
"Yes mom?," I asked impatiently.
"Oh honey, hi, are you okay, did I wake you up?," she asked concerned.
"Well um… yeah, you did actually," I lied. Honestly I was upset over my Jake but I was in no way going to tell her that. Having a werewolf as a boyfriend perfected your lying skills.
"Sorry love, anyway I was just going to tell you there's leftover-," I cut her off.
"Pizza, I know, we- I ate it earlier," I quickly corrected myself.
"Okay, well good night, see you hopefully tomorrow," she told me before hanging up.
I rolled my eyes, twelve at night and she's calling to tell me about pizza. Since when do I eat pizza at midnight? Since Jake Eva. No, we ate right before midnight… oh whatever.
I got up and headed upstairs to get myself a DVD from my collection up in my bedroom. Tears we're rolling down my cheeks and I sobbed every now and again. Poor Jake, what was wrong with him? If I hurt him in any way it was unintentional. I loved him, I loved him more than words could say and there was no way on earth that I would ever hurt him.
I searched through my DVD's with blurry eyes and decided on The Duchess. It was a really good movie and I'd watch it again hopefully until Jake gets back.
I sat there curled up on the couch, biting my nails as I half focused on the movie and half focused on the hall door, listening to hear it open but no such luck. The storm was getting worse as time went by and I just prayed that he was safe. I hope he didn't get some stupid idea in his head and decided to run off… but no, he wouldn't leave me, or would he? Stop doubting yourself Eva!
When the movie ended it was 2:30am and I still wasn't tired. Then I remembered the photo album under the TV unit which held pictures of my summer here in La Push last year when Jake, Embry and Quil were still human.
I sat Indian style on the floor next to the TV and opened up the album. The first picture was of me and mom outside in the back garden sitting out in the grass. I smiled remembering back to that day. It was an unusually hot day and mom took me out to Seattle, I did a lot of shopping and bought Jake, Quil and Embry necklaces. It was actually a nice thing for me to do since I only knew them a month but I was crushing on Jake so I was extra nice.
The second picture was of me in a pink evening dress. I had worn it to Amber Cross's sixteenth birthday party, it was a nice party actually not too crowded, I knew a lot of people from school so it was fun.
The third picture was of the guys, Jake, Quil and Embry all chilling out in Jake's garage. They were all seated on the hood of some car Jake was working on and looked so carefree and happy, not to mention young, they looked their age.
I continued to flip through the pages smiling at some of the pictures and laughing at the others, that really was a good summer but nothing compared to this. This was pure heaven, I was finally with the love of my life and he loved me back, I couldn't be happier but he's hurting right now for some unknown reason so I'm not in the brightest of moods, I just hope he gets back. I miss him.
It was now 3am and I decided to head off to bed, it doesn't look like he's coming back. I placed the photo album back under the TV unit and switched off the lights in the living room and kitchen.
As I started down the hall, heading towards the stairs the hall door opened creating a cold breeze and I turned around to see Jake walking towards me with an intense look in his eyes, dripping wet once again in his jean cut offs, kicking the door shut behind him, never breaking our gaze.
"Jake," I breathed before his mouth came down on mine, his arms wrapping around my waist crushing me into him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as we kissed each other with a passion I never felt before. I didn't care that the front of me was probably soaking from his dripping wet body, I just needed him as close as he could get to me. His tongue slipped into my mouth and met with mine, they moved together in sync and I couldn't get over how good he tasted. His hands ran down my back, over my backside, down until they gripped my thighs, lifting me up in one quick movement.
I straddled his waist, wrapping my legs tightly around him so that there was no distance between us. I couldn't breathe with all the kissing we we're doing and I assumed neither could Jake because he broke our kiss, resting his forehead against mine, staring deeply into my eyes with so much love.
"Eva," he started, "I'm so sorry that I didn't feel the same way about you last year, I was a fool not to see what a beautiful girl there was right in front of me, that loved me more than I deserved. Instead I fell for a girl that couldn't share my feelings and what an idiot I was to think she could, she was broken, broken because the love of her life left her, abandoned her and now I know how she felt because if I lost you Eva, I'd never recover, no one could ever replace you Eva, I love you so much it hurts,".
I felt a tear roll down my cheek, "That was so, so touching Jake, I love you too, so so much no words can describe my love for you and if I ever lost you, it even hurts to say it, but if I ever lost you Jake, I'd never recover either. Is that why you were upset?,".
He nodded, "Yeah, because I love you and I'm sorry that before I couldn't return your feelings,".
"No Jake," I kissed his cheek, "Never ever cry over that again, I love you Jake,".
"I love you too," he whispered and right at that moment I knew what I wanted. I wanted to show him how much I loved him, how much I care about him.
"Jake," I whispered, his eyes burning into mine, "Make love to me,".
His eyes stared into mine searching them, looking for a confirmation to say that I was ready, "Are you sure?," he asked and I nodded, pecking him on the lips.
He held onto my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck tighter, resting my cheek on his shoulder as he started up the stairs. I smiled to myself once we made it up. I was going to make love to Jacob Black tonight and no one could stop me.
My breathing was heavy as I laid my head on his chest, both of us covered in sweat. I looked up at him and he grinned down at me, "That was…," I started.
"Absolutely incredible, the best feeling I have ever felt in my life," he whispered back down at me, completing my sentence.
"Yeah, it was Jake," I said before placing a soft kiss next to his erect nipple, "I love you,".
"I love you too Eva, I love you too," he said back, stroking my hair.
I traced invisible circles over his chest and smiled remembering what we had just made. Making love to Jake was so incredible that we ended up doing it three times. It was such an amazing feeling that words couldn't even describe it. We made sure we had protection before doing it and so everything was good. I was so unbelievably happy that we got intimate tonight that I was on a high, a very strong high.
We laid there for what seemed like hours until I decided I needed to take a shower. I lifted myself off of him and slipped out of bed, wrapping a sheet around my naked body as I headed towards the bathroom. It was 5am already and right now I was definitely not tired. Too happy to be so.
I took a quick shower and dried my hair quicker than ever before pulling on some underwear and a yellow knee length nightdress with thin straps.
I made my way back into the bedroom to find Jake sitting up on my bed, a white sheet covering his lower body. He smiled when I walked in, "Hey, beautiful,".
I giggled, "Hey handsome,".
He laughed, "Handsome am I? Do you mind if I use your shower for the second time tonight?,".
"Jake if you ask me that question again I'm going to kill you," I warned, sitting next to him on the bed.
He chuckled, pecking me on the cheek before slipping out of bed, wrapping a sheet around his waist and heading off to the bathroom.
Tonight was really special to me. I would never ever forget how amazing it was to make love to him, it was definitely a night to remember.
The next morning the storm seemed to be moving but I couldn't help but feel disappointed in that because I wanted Jake to stay over for another night at least.
Of course Jake and I were up since yesterday and were curled up on the couch together watching TV at 10am. I was still on a high from last night and I could tell Jake was too with his overly happy attitude. Last night I was a little nervous because I was a virgin so it was my first time but Jake reassured me telling me he was a virgin too.
The schools were closed today because of the storm so that just made today even better and so I guessed me and Jake would be spending our time indoors until the storm cleared off.
"Hey Eva, I'm gonna head out, check on Sam," Jake told me, lifting himself up off the couch.
I smiled, "Yeah okay sure, be careful for me,".
He nodded, smiling at me before bending down and kissing me softly on the lips, "Eva," he breathed, looking loving into my eyes, "When I get back, we need to talk," he whispered before pulling away and heading out.
I sat there puzzled. Need to talk? About what? I hoped it wasn't bad news. Guess I'll just have to sit here and wait till he gets back to find out.
