A/N

Sorry I haven't written in a while. My Grandfather passed away a few weeks ago, and I haven't felt extremely up to writing. But now that I'm back, theirs going to be a lot in store!

"So… how was your walk?"

We were both sitting at the table, eating breakfast. I had a small bowl, but I think it'd be more efficient If Jake had just poured milk in the box. He took the bowl from the counter I was going to use to mix brownies in to eat his share. In fact, there were two empty boxes on the table next to him.

"Jake?" I asked again. He seemed out of it as he shoveled down the cheerios.

"Jacob!" I yelled, snapping my fingers in front of his face.

"What?" He yelled, being pulled out of his trance. He looked around frantically, and then his eyes fell on mine, and softened.

"W-"He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. We sat like that for a few moments, before I playfully pushed his shoulder. We hadn't really taken our relationship farther thank chaste-er kisses, but when I pushed his shoulder, I was surprised when he took my bottom lip between his teeth, and slowly pulled away. I was slightly shocked, but when we finally were separated all the way, he had nothing but love in his eyes.

"Did you say something?" He sat back casually. I silently wondered if he could hear how fast my heart was racing.

"How was your walk?" I asked slightly breathless.

I laughed and shook my head. "Persistent this morning, aren't we?" I stretched back over the chair, placing my hands behind my head. "I went into the woods to phase. I wanted to talk to the pack. Whenever I'm a wolf, they can hear my thoughts. It weird, there are no secrets." I wonder what they would think when I actually phase, and they found out about my imprint…

"Oh." She stood, and walked to the sink, running her bowl under the water. Bella was so beautiful, and I loved when she blushed, or got flustered.

I respected Bella, too. That's why I never tried to take things too far. I was the kind of guy that wanted to wait until marriage until I let anything like… that happen, and I'd let myself be taunted relentlessly by thinking that. It didn't mean I couldn't watch Bella, though. Not in a pervy way, though. I loved watching her be herself, or in the morning, when she would wear those incredible short shorts, or when we'd go out, and her shirts were so tight… I wasn't a porn addict. If fact, I'd never seen it before. So when Bella and I did do anything, I hope she won't be upset due to my lack of experience.

I walked up behind her, placed my bowl in the sink, and wrapped my arms around her waist. I pressed my nose into her neck, and took in her scent. She smelled like strawberries, and fresh cut grass. I felt the blush rise up her neck and into her cheeks as she pulled away slightly, and turned to look at me.

"I have to take a shower… Can you clean the dishes for me?" She looked up into my eyes, making me melt on the inside.

"Of course." I kissed her nose, and she pulled away, making her way to the stairs. She turned around, blew me a kiss, then ran upstairs.

I collapsed on the chair, shaking my head. I picked up the phone, and dialed Emily's number.

"Emily?" I whispered into the phone.

"Yeah, hey, Jacob. What's up?"

"Um… would it be alright if I came up?" I heard the water turn on upstairs.

"Sure… what's wrong? You sound off..."

"I'll see you soon. Thank you."

I hung up.

I took the stairs two at a time, then stopped at the slightly open bathroom door.

Thanks to my supersensitive hearing, not only could I hear her heart increased due to the temperature of the water, but I heard the slight hum that escaped her mouth, too.

"B-"I started, but stopped after my head rounded the corner of the door. The bathroom was fogged up, and so was the clear glass shower door, though I could see the sillouwet of her gorgeous body. I starred for a moment before, quietly, telling her that I'd be back soon.

I jumped in the car and turned the key, running a hand through my hair. I sped down to La Push, and into Sam and Emily's drive way.

"Hey, Jacob!" She wrapped an arm around my waist, and hugged me, I did the same, then she led me into her living room.

"So what's up?"

"I…" I hesitated, unsure if I should tell her or not.

"Jacob." She used a warning, you-tell-me-or-you-die tone of voice.

"I… Imprinted on Bella." I said it in a rush.

Her face lightened up, and she bounced at me, hugging me around the neck.

"That's great!"

"Yeah, but you can't tell anyone yet. We want to wait. ESPICALLY no one in the pack!"

"Why? You must be so happy… don't you want everyone to know?"

"Not yet."

After Jacob left, I had a little time to myself, which wasn't nessacerialy a good thing. I didn't like when he wasn't here.

I wrapped a towel around myself, and made my way to my bedroom. Immediately, I felt an unusual chill, and goose bumps erupted on my arms, I looked around, feeling slightly dazed, and noticed that the window was open. That's weird… I never left the window open…

I put on a tee shirt and sweatpants, which were skinny and black. I combed through my hair, but left it down.

When I walked down stairs, I caught Jake digging his hand into a bag of chocolate chips.

"Great!" I yelled, which made him jump, and then looked at me like he'd been caught by his mother. "I was going to make brownies, you dirtied my bowl. I was going to make cookies, you eat the chocolate chips. What can I do now?" I feigned anger, and this made us both laugh.

"I'm sorry!" He laughed, and pulled me into his arms. He kissed me on the forehead. "I'll help you make something else?"

"No," I finished, wiping my eyes. "I have some ice cream. We can just eat that. Go warm up the couch." I pushed his chest, and he went into the front room.

I opened the freezer, and pulled out the chocolate ice cream, and two spoons. Jake was sprawled across the couch, waiting for me.

"Warm enough?" He sat up, and patted the spot beside him. I sat under his arm, and we ate together, He made a joke, and I laughed, which caused some of the ice cream to drip onto my chest, just above the swell of my breast. Before I could wipe it off, Jakes mouth was there, sucking it off, then licking the spot. His head slowly came up, and he met my eyes.

"Bella, I'd been meaning to talk to you about something." He took my hands in his, his eyes a warm chocolate.

"Yes?"

"I… have, something, I wanted to say. Call me old fashion, but… I'm not the kind of person who jumps into things too fast. Relationship-wise. I want to wait until marriage. If that's not to… upfront… If you even wanted to marry me."

"One day… I think I would." I smiled.

"Great!" he leaned in, and kissed me. He held onto my waist, and put the other hand in my hair. Both of my hands were in his. I loved the way they felt, the way I felt when I was with him… My imprint. He sighed, and opened his mouth. I followed suite, and he gently pulled on my lip. I smiled, and pulled away. He kissed my neck, where the little mark was still showing.

"Has your dad noticed that?"

"He hasn't been around much in the past couple of days. Can you stay tonight?" I asked hopefully.

He sighed. "I really wish I could. I have to patrol tonight."

"Oh… Okay.

- A few hours later…-

It was bad having to go to bed alone, But Jake came about an hour ago, to check on me. The bed was so cold without him there.

I narrowly passed the wolves that night, and was able to make it to Bella's house. I casually jumped to the window, opened it, and silently made my way inside.

Bella lay there, beautiful as ever. It pained me to see her, and know I couldn't climb into her bed like I had before.

She sighed, and rolled over.

I felt sick to my stomach when I saw it; a small bruise on her neck. It fouled me to know that anyone had touched her in that way and she had allowed it. That mutt had touched her in a way no man should touch an unmarried women. I walked next to her bed, leaning in, and smelling her beautiful scent. She sang to me, but I made no move towards it. I blew gently on her ear, and kissed her cheek. If I could have cried, I would have.

She was his now.
