14. GIFT

I woke up the next morning to see Jacob sitting at the end of the bed, holding his head in his hands. The same position he was in last night. "Jacob… You wanted a Beta so you could rest and take it easy. Were you sitting there the entire night?"

Jacob took in a breath and let it out slowly. "Yes."

I crawled over to him and sat behind him, wrapping my arms around him. I started kissing his back. "I know what'll help clear your head."

He laughed. "Yeah, that probably would… Son of a bitch!" Jacob stood up quickly, making me fall off of the bed. "Paul and Rachel are probably doing it right now!"

Rubbing my head, I stood up and walked over to Jacob, taking his hands in my own. "Jacob… They've known each other for a day. Do you really think they're already at that level of a relationship?"

"You remember what Jared said. When he imprinted on Kim they had done it by day two. This is day two!"

I shook my head. "I know you're really protective, but if you're going to continue to act like this, I'm going to see if Edward wants to hang out."

Just then, the door to the bedroom swung open. "Someone looking for me?"

Jacob sighed and tilted his head back. "Why don't you ever knock?"

Edward chuckled. "Alright." He took a few steps back and closed the door.

Jacob looked at me with an expression that said 'please tell me he isn't doing what I think he's doing'. And then there was a knock at the door. I just laughed and shook my head. The way Edward had been acting recently was so unlike the Edward Bella used to tell me about. Jacob really rubbed off on him.

Jacob walked over to the door and opened it. "Please go away." He swung the door trying to close it.

Before the door could close, Edward had stuck his foot out, stopping it. "Then I guess you guys don't want your wedding gift."

Jacob walked away from the door, defeated, and sat down on the bed. "Alright. Come in."

Edward opened the door and smiled his crooked smile. "That's more like it. Terry, would you mind sitting with Jacob, please?"

Completely interested in what Edward was planning on giving us, I obeyed his wishes and sat next to Jacob.

"Aren't wedding gifts supposed to be given like… at the wedding?" Jacob questioned.

Ignoring Jacob, Edward started. "You remember I was going to come up with a honeymoon idea for you two, right?" Without waiting for either of us to answer, he continued. "My gift to you is two weeks in a place I guarantee you both will love."

"Where is it?" I leaned forwards, engaging in the conversation.

The same crooked smile crossed his lips. "If I told you, it wouldn't be very much fun, now would it?"

Jacob laughed. "So you want to send Terry and me to a location that only you know of?"

"Yes."

"Thanks, but me and Terry will work something out." Jacob looked like he was back to normal again. If Edward had just come in here to 'fix' Jacob, then mission accomplished.

"You just need to trust me. Why would I ruin my friends' honeymoon? What kind of person would I be?" He looked serious. "I promise you, you both will love it more than anything. It fits both of you so well."

Jacob eyed Edward for a few seconds before turning to me. "What do you think?"

I looked between my love and Edward a few times. "Has Edward ever steered us wrong before? I say we take him up on this."

"Alright." Jacob looked back at Edward. "We accept your mystery honeymoon."

"Fantastic."

Jacob stood up and placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. From where I was sitting you could really tell the difference in height between the two of them. "I swear if it's a trip to the dog pound, I will kill you." He smiled.

"The dog pound! That would've been hysterical!" Edward laughed and then his eyes narrowed. "What did I tell you about thinking that when I'm near you?"

A slow smile crossed Jacob's lips. "Maybe you shouldn't be near me now then…"

Edward shook his head quickly. "I'll uhh… bye Terry." With that, Edward disappeared.

I wondered what Jacob was thinking that could make Edward use his vampire speed to get away from him. I wondered that, until Jacob closed the door and leaned against it smiling seductively at me.

"Are you still offering to clear my head?" He walked slowly over to me, pushing me onto my back.

"Looks like I don't have a choice, do I?" I smiled.

He pressed his lips to mine, as his hands started tailing up and down my body. "No. You don't."
