Chapter 5

Chrissies POV

I ran into the trees and climbed the nearest one. My heart was hammering and my mind was whirling.

I had just imprinted on Jacob black and if his reaction was anything to go on he had done so on me.

I couldn't focus on anything but his face, his lips and being pressed against his chest.

I saw him rush into the woods past my tree in a panic

"Chrissie come back please. Where are you Chrissie?"

I remained quiet unable to bring myself to speak. He stripped down and phased than took off into the woods.

I waited a while and than climbed down the tree as Edward came to my side.

"You got scared huh" he says "I didn't know what else to do so I ran. What am I going to do Edward? I have stopped this happening for five years. I don't know what to do"

"You'll figure it out. I know you will"

I decided to take a slow walk back to the cabin. I need time to think and be alone.

I still had no idea what I was going to do about Jacob.

He is my imprint and I his, where soul mates. But I'm also scared about what that means.

I still don't totally understand the dynamics of imprinting and what it all means.

I hear footsteps behind me and I turn to find my Uncle Sam.

"You scared me uncle Sam" "I thought you weren't afraid of anything" he says grinning

"Fine you startled me than" "I don't want you going to the Cullen's anymore" "you have no say in what I do. You may not get along with them but that is your problem.

They have been my friends for three years Sam. I don't plan on changing that because of problems you both have. I won't give up my second family for anyone"

"Your second family" he asks "there like family to me Sam. Esme is the mother I always wanted but never had.

Carlisle is my best friend. Emmett's my cuddly uncle, Edwards the responsible brother.

Alice is the fashionable sister who can shop till she drops.

Rose is the take no shit sister and jazzy baby is the fun loving uncle who likes to get into trouble with me"

"There not always safe to be around" "I've never had any problems Sam I won't change my mind ever"

"Fine but at least take Jacob with you when you visit them"

"I do not need an escort or a chaperone like you gave me on my run this morning. I knew he was there Sam and I had my fun" with that he laughs out loud

"You certainly did have your fun with him. He was a bundle of testosterone after that" I giggle now and smile

"Its late and I need to eat and sleep so goodnight Sam and I mean what I said. There my friends" he nods and I leave him

Jacobs POV

I sat in the woods watching the house. Somewhere inside my imprint was there, my reason for living.

I wanted to be near her, hold her. But if I tried she would probably freak out and run.

A window opens upstairs and I see my girl. She has her head leaning out the window and I whine.

Her head shoots up and she looks around to find me.

I duck further into the trees and she goes back inside.

I hear Sam calling me and turn and head in his direction. When I reach him he does not look happy.

I phase back and replace my pants as he glares at me.

"I know she's your imprint Jake but I am warning you. I already did this with Embry and set. If you hurt her I will kill you"

"I would never hurt her Sam. I don't have it in me to do such a thing"

"I'm still warning you. Also stop with the thoughts in your head. I don't need to see what you're thinking about doing with her. Plus sheds more shy around guys than Clarabelle so take it slow" "I promise I will"

The next day I arrive at Chrissies as she is coming out the front door.

She sees me and lowers her head as a blush rises up her face and she moves her hair behind her ear.

I can hear her heartbeat pick up and I smile.

"Hello Chrissie" "hey Jacob" "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today"

"I promised to go shopping with Alice and rose today, sorry"

"That's cool maybe when you're done you could give me a call"

I hand her a piece of paper with my number and she nods and smiles

"Ok I will. I should go" "need a lift over there" "sure"

We where sat in silence but it was a comfortable silence.

I could see her from the corner of my eye, she kept stealing quick glances my way and I found myself grinning like a Cheshire cat

"So what are you going shopping for" I ask her

"A dress for the party its Bella and Edward's graduation. She invited me yesterday" "good I'm going also" "good"

We soon arrived at the Cullen's and she turns to me smiling

"Thanks for the lift Jacob" "you're welcome call me later" "I will" she leans over and places a soft kiss on my cheek before she rush's from the car and inside the house.

Chrissies POV

I quickly shut the door and lean against it. What made me kiss him I will never know? I just couldn't help myself he is so cute.

He is seriously fuckable, no bad mind.

I hear Edward laughing from the other room

"Stay out of my head Edward. I am warning you" I yell at him which makes him laugh harder. I enter the room and glare at him

"Keep your mouth shut or else" I warn him "my lips are sealed" "keep it that way. Where's rose and Alice"

"Picking up Bella, I hope you don't mind that she is joining you" "of course I don't. It will give us a chance to get to know each other better" I say and he smiles

We are all in the dress shop now I and Bella are sat down while Alice and rose rush around picking out dresses for us both.

They have always loved to shop, me not so much. I prefer my jumpers and jeans. They come back over and hand us each an armful of dresses.

"Go try them on and than we can decide on which one looks best on you" Bella and I roll our eyes but do as she says.

I put on the first dress its pink with glitter on it. It's nice but I'm not really a pink person.

I step out and frown at Alice. "Alice I hate pink and you know I do" "but you look pretty in pink Chrissie"

"Blue or black but no pink Alice ever. Do we have a deal" "we have a deal" I than return to my cubical to change into the next dress.

This one is a mixture of blue and pink and not so bad. But it's a little long for my liking I like to be able to move easy and long dresses don't allow that.

I decide this one is a definite no and move onto the next one. It is once again pink and I so want to throttle Alice.

It has spaghetti straps and is short, just coming to below my ass.

Its low cut and for some reason I wonder if Jake will like it also. I head out and smile at Alice.

"Ok this one I actually like Alice even though it is pink. I think I'll get this one I just need shoes and accessories to go with it"

She grins and holds them up to me "you know I would choose it didn't you" she just grins and hands me the items.

Bella drops me off at the cabin and than leaves. I head in and up to my room to put away my items.

Once there put away I lie down on my bed and pull out my phone.

I promised Jacob we could hang out and I won't go back on it. I pull out his number and dial again.

"Hello" "hey Jacob" "Chrissie you're back. Did you have fun" "sort of I guess" "sort of" "shopping with Alice is a nightmare but I got a pretty dress for the party"

"I cant wait to see it you'll be beautiful" "thanks so do you still want to hang out with me today" "definitely where are you and I'll come pick you up" "I'm at home" "I'm on my way" "see you soon" "see you soon baby"

He hangs up and I blush at the fact he called me baby. I than rush downstairs to wait for him.
