A Look into the Future: Jacob Black Ch 8
Jake woke again to the shut of the door downstairs. Everyone was gone except the horse caretaker who was always here. Jake silently got out of bed, kissed her on the side of the face and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and take a shower. The cold water felt great against his hot skin. Breakfast or lunch was on his mind.
Annabelle rolled over the sheets crumpling around her body. she noticed Jacob wasnt there. she almost panicked a minuted. she hated the feeling of being abandoned it scared her. she jumped out of bed and noticed she heard the shower on in the bathroom. she let out a long breathe and took a seat back on thed bed. she realized she needed clothes from home... or maybe she could make a jacob shirt a presentable one.
Jake finished his cool shower and walked out dripping with a towel around his waist. "Your up" He smiled- "Get freshened up and ready, lets go out, i dont want to be cooped up inside all day-" He went to comb his hair and put some cologne on. He choose a white polo with light blue stripes and and light khaki pants and AE sandals. He went down stairs to heat of some of the food that the cok had left. "Babe- "
Annabelle grabbed a long flannel shirt Jacob had laying around and pulled it over it was long enough to be made a dress, she threw on the white belt she was wearing the day before and rolled up her sleeves a bit and fallowed him downstairs. "yes?"
"What you want to eat? we are gonna be walking around a lot so fill up?" He said putting some biscuts, crossaints, bacon and sausage back into the microwave oven. He pulled out OJ and apple cider. "I think we should just wander through chinas town, walk through greenwich and then head into soho fo some shopping"
Annabelle took a seat she could feel her stomach growl. "You Jacob Black want to shop?"
"No- but i know you do- plus you need some clothes to keep at my place." He place all the food on the kitchen island and pulled up a stool himself. He ate as he usually did, not hiding his hunger or the amount he ate-
Annabelle didnt mind his eating habbits she found them quite cute. He considered what she wanted and she loved him for that. After a glass of apple juice and two crossaints she was done. She waited for him. "Do i look horrible without my make up today?" before they left she figured she'd ask again. "may i drive?"
"You look much more beautiful without your makeup my dear" He said cleaning up the dishes real quick. "And no, not my car" He said grabbing the keys and giveing her a sideways hug holding her hips, "Come on" He took the convertible today to have he wind dry his hair. He parked at a parking garage and walked out into china town with her hand in his. They walked around looking at things taking pictures, talking to people buying trinkets, it was fun. Then they headed into greenwich. They held hands and just talked as they walked through. They walked to soho ans stopped for some ice cream at ben and jerrys
Annabelle loved the time she spent with him, she would be with him at days end if she could. She ate up her ice cream quickly brain freezes slowing her now and again, she wanted to get to the good stuff that hardcore shopping, she hadnt had a good shopping partner since saphire left. She modeled a few dresses for Jacob, she bought "pajamas" and a few regular old tee shirts, she almost never wore jeans but bought two pairs. "Now lets shop for you...your much to boring with your clothes."
"I like what i wear" Jake had caught a few cameras flash and a few people following things. But that was normal, as long as they didnt do anything crazy, things were gonna be okay.
Annabelle frowned. "But dull colors like that dont suit you." she held a shirt up to him and made a face. "Or shoes." She was entranced by a gorgeous pair of stilettos. As she reached for them she felt someone else's hand as well. She looked up to see Saphire. "Hey." she smiled Declan close behind her. "These are mine." Saphire pulled them away playfully. Annabelle frowned but smiled at the sight of her brother he pulled her into a tight hug and looked over to Jacob. He kissed the top of her head. Saphire looked over to Jacob and made a quiet wave. She looked back to Declan and Annabelle and realized they'd be occupied a while a few hours away from each other was like an eternity for the two. She walked up to Jacob. "Hi...She fumbled with the shoe in her hand. i wanted to apologize for last night i was being immature...and stupid, its just i never expected to see you again..." She took a breath and finally made eye contact with him. She half smiled the way she always used to when she would look at him, she was told it was his favorite smile from her.
Jake looked at the shoe instead of at her, "Its what ever saphire" In an instant he was uncomfortable. He ran his thumb over the pack tattoo on his arm. He moved towards the mens department, trying to get away from the drama yet to come- "Uh, Annabelle, im gonna go look at some stuff"
Annabelle nodded and looked over the two, she wanted Saphire to talk to Jacob and wanted them to work whatever it was out, she hated the akwardness, Saphire fallowed him a bit annoyed. she stayed in a hushed town eyes were watching all the time she was a high end model and knew cameras were always around. "Jacob Black dont walk away from me." she took his arm in her hand. "it's not whatever dont pretend that it is. Talk to me."
Jake almost ripped his arm out of hers but controlled himself, "Please get your hands off me- you know better then that, or have you forgotten?"
Saphire rolled her eyes. "Your being difficult. i could be less afraid of you, i know you wont hurt me." She said really unsure but she was confident in her assumption
"Saphire, i have nothing to say to you. i dont want to be digging up old scars. Im not the same jacob you knew, i am very different, and i dont appreciate you finding your way back into my life and pretending things can be okay between us, thats not how life is and i wud think you wud kno, you havnt grown up yet-" his brow was furrowed in anger. what was he supposed to do, he was very out of his element
Saphire sighed and frowned. "I didnt find a way into your life. and why cant things be okay between us jake? you dont know me now and your right i dont know you anymore but dont assume things about me...we need to have things okay for annabelle's sake
"Things can be just fine. just dont go out of your way to talk to me" He walked away towards the sales guy
Saphire fallowed persistent. "Your being difficult...i dont know about you but i would like to know you again."
"Sir, can you help me find some nice dress shoes please. I have size 13w feet" He said to the guy and ignored saph. he looked down at her, "No- saph, drop it before i get really angry- ok-"
Saphire crossed her arms. "What did i do that was so wrong Jacob?"
Jake growled and the sales guy went the other way. Jakes eyes were bright and glistening. His fists were balled up and his toes curled. "What did you do?" he asked sounding incredulous, "Are you really asking me this?" Jake didnt understand why declan or Annabelle was getting in the middle of this, he wanted annabelles tiny cool hand inside his.
Saphire felt herself shake she wanted to cry and it was difficult to stare at him and know he hated her. "Apparently i am asking." She looked away. "Jacob i couldnt be your perfect girl the life in La Push just wasnt for me and you knew that, you kept trying to make me fit in when im supposed to stand out."
"BULL SHIT" Jake almost yelled, but instead it was an angered whisper. "I accepted you in a heartbeat, everything of you! i supported your dance, your ludacris style, you stupid childish tantrums! All of it! My pack told me you were too young, told me you werent the right one! i didnt believe them because i was taken by you! Then you accepted everything about my life and still seemed to care about me, and that was the last thing i expected from you- you were perfect to me! and then one day u decide you had enough and you pack up and leave with no explanations, just a note! what the fuck Saphire- i was destroyed! i thought things were great that my love would be enough! but i guess not huh" all the was stuck in his throat for so long, it was a relief to get it out.
Saphire couldnt help herself she felt the tears run down her eyes. she didnt make a sound she quivered. those were the last words she needed to hear, that she wanted to hear. "i loved you" she muffled out running her hand across the bottom of her eyes. "You dont understand what it was like for me there Jacob. the pack hated me. Nobody wanted me or expected me to even stay...what was i supposed to do? ask you to come with me and take you away from them?"
"No- it had nothing to do with them~ you had paris, danica, daryl leah, emily, seth, and sam, they loved you because i loved you- why does anyone matter? And we could have talked about it-but you went behind my back and didnt even tell me you left. Do you know how stupid i felt when i found out-" Jake didnt care that she was crying- it didnt matter to him. he turned to the sales guy "Never mind" He walked over to Annabelle, "Im not the best person to be around today- you should go home with them tonight" Jake said before heading for the door
Saphire hated him walking away from her. she wanted to scream at him, get him to listen let her talk and make up for the words she never said. She felt Declan's hands on her shoulders. "Are you alright?" She shook her head he kissed her cheek. "Lets go home." She nodded and fallowed the tears not slowing. Annabelle frowned annoyed that Jacob was leaving, was it so much to ask of him to stay and just be with her a day? She had heard a bit of the conversation and was disapointed in the both of them. she rolled her eyes and fallowed after Declan and Saphire
Jake needed to be on his own to gather himself. he could nt lose his temper here. He was walking to the liquor store when a hand touch his shoulder he looked over to see Matt- It annoyed him how he was always there at the negative times "Hey- wat you doin here?"
Matt smiled. "Just finished up a meeting with a friend." He looked over him examing him, why was this guy always around liquor. "How ya been?"
"uh- living i guess- can i help you with something?" jake didnt really consider him a friend so he was wondering what he was doing here. He knew annabelle wouldnt be to happy to see him here, so he hoped they has left already
Matt shrugged. "Just checking up on a friend, i wish i could see you in a light of a better mood." He looked back at a store and saw annabelle and her brother Declan entering a car with a pretty little thing that seemed to be crying. he turned away quickly hoping not to notice but ever so curious to know what they were doing.
"Oh ok, i guess ill see you around then" Jake walked in to get himself something strong. he was gonna go for a run. that sounded like a great idea to him
