"If you could see that I'm the one who understands you. Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me."-Taylor Swift
The guys had left by the time I walked out of Jacob's room. Billy told me they went back to Sam and Emily's and told me to meet them there. I nodded and walked out of the house. I knew I might have to leave Jacob alone for a little while, but I still remembered the look on his face when I whispered in his ear. He knew his feelings, and he was having a hard time admitting them, but I was going to help him remember.
When I walked into Sam and Emily's house, the guys were sitting in the living room playing Grand Theft Auto. I rolled my eyes with a chuckle and sat down.
"How was your talk with Jake?" Embry asked.
I shrugged. "Fine, I guess. He said he wasn't gay and shit, but I know him better. As soon as Bella dumps him on his ass again, he'll come to me. I know he will."
"What if that never happens?" Jared asked. "What if Bella somehow changes her mind?"
"Just because the leech-lover's boyfriend left, that doesn't mean she's just gonna fall for Jake. If she hasn't already, what makes you think he's going to?"
Embry shrugged. "I dunno, but I do know that I know him better than you do. He's absolutely in love with her. I would almost call him obsessed."
"He won't be obsessed with her much longer," I growled. "If that bitch tries to come around here, he knows what'll happen. Didn't you hear Sam give the orders?"
"That Bella's not allowed over here?" Jared asked. I nodded. "Yeah, we all did."
"Exactly. If she comes over here, my emotions will explode. Plus, we don't need the leeches over here."
"Yeah, I guess," Embry said. "Let's just go back to playing some Grand Theft Auto dude. Hopefully Jake will come around soon."
I smirked. "Yeah. I'm ready to blow up some cops."
By dinnertime, Sam told us that Jacob was completely finished and that he was going to be coming over. I couldn't help but be excited. He was finally going to see what being a wolf was like, and he was going to see that he was mine. Even though he pretended he didn't want me, I knew he did. I wasn't the one that he "experimented" with, but I always saw the way he looked at me. I didn't know if he was ashamed to be gay or not, but all he did was pretend and try to hide his true feelings. He wasn't going to hide them anymore.
"Paul!" Emily called from the kitchen. "Can you come here?"
I sighed, put down my XBOX controller, and walked into the kitchen. She was frying something with a towel thrown over her shoulder.
"Yeah Emms?" I mused, resting my elbow on her shoulder.
"I just want to make sure you're not going to attack Jacob," she whispered. "You know you don't have the best self control."
"Yeah, I know, but I'll try. He just needs to learn to love me, because he's going to be stuck with me forever."
Emily shook her head and chuckled. "Yeah, I know. Just please leave him alone tonight?"
"Maybe I will," I replied with a smirk. "Maybe I won't. It all depends."
"Depends on what?"
"If he decides to tease me."
She looked up at me and rolled her eyes. "Get outta here. Dinner should be ready in about fifteen minutes."
I grabbed a piece of bread she had cut up and popped it in my mouth. "Thanks Emms!"
I ran out of the kitchen before she could say anything.
By the time I sat down again there was a knock at the door. I knew who it was.
"Someone get the door!" Emily called. "I'm still cooking!"
Embry and Jared looked at me.
"Go get the door," Jared said. "He's your lover."
I rolled my eyes and opened the door. Of course Jacob was standing there, with a cut off shirt.
"Hey babe," I chuckled. "Come on in."
He seemed so uncomfortable, but he walked in anyways. Embry got up to greet him. They exchanged some words before Emily came bouncing out of the kitchen.
"Jacob!" She hugged him as a form of greeting. "It's so nice to see you!"
"Nice to see you too, Emily," he whispered.
"Come sit!" Jared called. "We're playing some GTA."
Jacob gave me a careful look before sitting down. Of course I had to sit down next to him. I made sure my hand was brushing against his leg.
"Dinner should be ready soon!" Emily said from the kitchen.
"Kay!" Embry replied.
I leaned close to Jacob's ear and whispered, "How are you baby?"
He looked at me shyly. I loved making him nervous.
"When are you gonna give up Paul?" he asked.
"Until your heart stops beating, and maybe after that."
He turned his head away and paid attention to Embry outrunning the police.
Finally, when dinner came, Jacob started talking. Emily's food was always a conversation starter. Sam finally joined us too and explained some more things to Jacob.
Of course, Jacob was a gentleman and helped Emily clean up after dinner. I watched him and saw the man that I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. He was perfect in everyway from his head to his toes to his heart.
Jacob decided to leave after he cleaned the kitchen.
"Here, let me walk you out," I said, opening the door.
We didn't talk until we got to his car.
"Look, Paul," he whispered. "I understand about this imprinting and stuff, and, if I do decide to be with you, you just gotta give me some time. I'm not used to this."
"I know." I took his hand in mine. "I'll give you time. I just don't know how much time I can afford to give you."
"Okay," he whispered, removing his hand. "Bye Paul."
"Bye Jake," I replied, and then watched him drive away.
