Chapter 7
"O my god" I screeched in delight. I picked it up and ran into the kitchen "Dad look"
Charlie looked dumfounded at the little Husky. "Can we keep him?" I smiled brightly I was so over whelmed I had always wanted a husky.
The little dog turned to Edward and growled, I saw Charlie faintly smile.
"Yes, of course who sent it you"
"Not sure but I'm calling it Jake"
Edward laughed at that and my father looked a little confused. But shrugged it off and went back to his tea.
I walked back to the door and saw in the box a letter.
Late night talks
Thinking of memories
Who knew it would last this long
And you would fall in love with me
Holding me in your arms
Never letting go
Trusting every word I hear
Just because you told me so
Looking into your eyes
Fighting back the tears
Nothing bad has happened
But that is what i fear
You wipe my eyes and remind me
That I'm your dream come true
And you've never had a relationship
Like the one between me and you
So I continue to have the late night talks
And the feelings I have for you
Who knew that not only could you fall in love with someone
But become best friends too! , I hope you shall like my gift for you my dear Bella
This husky is a gift from me to you for perhaps scaring you with the profoundly rude
Letter I sent you to get your attention.
Until tomorrow then my love,
From your devoted secret admirer x
I smiled slightly at the letter, Jake licked my neck and I giggled.
I got my phone out and sat on the couch.
"Hello?"
"Hey Billy is Jake there?"
"Of course hang on"
I heard distant ruffling on feet
"Hey Bells, what's up?"
"Well I'm coming to your bonfire tonight and guess what"
"What?"
"I got a husky and I've already named him" I smiled
"That's great Bells" he laughed "so what have you….o god you've named him Jake haven't you?" I heard him groan and I laughed. The husky jumped on my lap and curled up.
"Bye Jake I've got to spend sometime now with my dog Jake"
"Your funny did you know that" he said sarcastically.
"I know I'll bring a needle and thread over so I can stitch up your sides from laughing"
"Wow you are kiddy perhaps I should have bought you husky ages ago"
"You wouldn't dare look I've got to go I'll see you later"
"Ok, want me to pick you up"
"I'll drop you of at the treaty line" Edward came to sit next to me Jake growled and so did Edward
"Edward will drop me off at the line you'll be there?"
"Of course"
"Okay Bye Jake"
"Bye" click.
I patted Edward's arm
"Why does Jake keep on growling at you?"
"Must be the name" he snarled at Jake
"Edward stop" I hugged Jake close to me who immediately started licking my nose
"Awww, he's so cute" I cooed
Edward rolled his eyes.
"Dad, I'm going to a bonfire at the Blacks tonight"
"I know I'm coming too"
I nodded and picked Jake up so he was hanging in the air.
He barked and wagged his fluffy little tail. Sticking his tongue out. I smiled and set him down on my lap
"O, we need to get some food for him"
I heard a knock
"That's our family love I'll get it"
the entire vampire family came in and Jake tensed
"Why's he growling at you all?"
"Animals are defensive against us Bells" Emmett said
I looked to Jasper and he was eyeing Jake
"Jasper"
He looked at me shocked "Sorry, I haven't fed in a while"
I looked at him wide eyed and then at Edward, he rolled his eyes.

I had decided to bring Jake with us to see if he'll growl at any of the wolves. I had phoned Jake to say Charlie was coming too and he didn't need to pick me up half way.
We arrived and Emily came up and hugged me, she cooed Jake and he wagged his tail again.
"Can I hold him?"
"Of course"
But Jake wouldn't budged
"Jake" I scold
"He probably needs time to adjust to his surroundings" she reassured me, I looked at her and I couldn't deny Sam was lucky to have her, I looked up to Emily how strong and beautiful she was.
We walked over to the bonfire and Charlie greeted Billy by passing him the beers.
The wolves swarmed around Jake. And he happily played with them. Jake ran out of my lap and chased after the hotdog Quil had in his hands and was running round with it teasing Jake.
We laughed
"Quil stop teasing him" I moaned while smiling Quil happily gave Jake the hotdog. He snatched it off Quil and ran back to me. Crossing the flames of the fire.
He jumped on my lap again and started to eat the hotdog. I kissed his forehead.
"So who gave him to you" Jacob asked stroking Jake's head while he eat his food
"My admirer, Jake" puppy Jake looked at me and I smiled "Jacob" puppy Jake went back to eating his food "I swear it's like this person knows me"
"All the more reason for you to find out who it is, go home and ask your mom"
I nodded.
Jake was happy enough to jump on Emily's lap now and she smiled warmly at him and then me.
It was a happy place, my ears were filled with people's laughter, my eyes filed with people's smiles, and my senses filled with a familiar scent of home and safe.
