Alright, this is DEFINITELY a short one, but it's fluffy just the same. Since this is just little bit of an extra chapter (remember, my birthday present to you all), it doesn't have to do with any plot twists. Just some sweet stuff that I wanted to get in. :)
We stayed in each other's arms for a few more fleeting moments before Edward coughed semi loudly. Jake shot him a look. Edward paid no mind of course. Alice shooed Edward away, and he shuffled off in the direction of his room.
"I'll get dinner!" Alice exclaimed, hopping towards the kitchen. I just looked up at Jake and he stroked my hair.
"How was your day, sweetie?" He whispered, looking down into my eyes. I sighed and snuggled closer to him.
"It was good," I said. "A tad stressful because of that vampire girl, but good overall." His eyes slightly narrowed at the mention of Nicole, but he relaxed quickly enough.
"That's good," he whispered huskily. He gently kissed me, and I kissed him back a bit harder. The kisses were slow and meaningful; long and tender. I found myself enjoying it, and realizing just how much I missed him each day. We didn't get to do this very often; not under the surveillance of Charlie and Billy, anyways. We kept going, and were getting more and more into it.
"Ahem." We heard a quiet smug voice say. I turned around, and there was Edward, annoyingly standing in the doorway.
"Hello." Jake said snidely. Edward nodded his head.
"Oh was I interrupting something?" He asked, blinking a tad too innocently. Jake's glare increased.
"Edward!" Esme's voice called. "Can I talk to you for a second?" Edward looked at us, nodded his head yet again, and disappeared. I looked at Jake. Typical Edward. However, the rest of the night went quite smoothly.
Edward had appeared to have disappeared after his talk with Esme, and soon after, Alice brought the dinner out. Jake and I had a romantic meaningful dinner by candlelight, and of course, we dined next to each other. We didn't exchange presents; since neither of us had been able to get anything in the increasingly hectic past few days, but we figured we would at some point in time.
He ended the night by gently kissing me on the forehead.
"I will always be yours," He said lovingly, and he wrapped me into his arms. I immediately surged forward, eager to be in his arms for as long as possible before he had to go.
"I love you." I murmured.
"And I love you," he replied simply, as if that was the only answer possible.
We kissed goodnight, and he quickly disappeared in the forest, after leaving a strong howl that resonated with love and courage. How fitting it was, just for my Jacob.
I finished what little homework I had, and then quickly took a shower. I stole to my bed, and dreamt sweet dreams about the day Jake and I had had. I still felt as if I had arms around me, but it was a comforting feeling, and when the morning came, I missed the sense of security I had had.
