Sorry for the late update but I've been busy with practice. Not really an excuse but still, I'm sorry!

I was looking through my closet for something to wear. Tonight Jake was taking me out. We hadn't had much alone time since the other day when Paul so rudely interrupted us. I rolled my eyes, remembering how Paul hadn't told anyone what we had done but kept dropping hints and making jokes throughout the day. Add the talk that I had with my grandmother and I had a very strange day. I made up some lie that when I was taking the garbage out I fell on my face and that's where the bruise came from, though she didn't believe me. I wasn't a clumsy person at all, in fact, I was pretty graceful, but she let it pass so long as I promised her it wasn't from Jacob.
"So what're you gonna wear?" Leah asked from her spot on my bed. I looked at her raising my eyebrows.
"Isn't that why you're here?" I asked her. She just smiled and got up walking to where I was standing by my closet. I was back in my room upstairs since I could now walk without pain. Physical therapy was going well and Mandi said that I would be able to start attempting to dance again soon.
"Go take a shower while I get your clothes together. You're going somewhere where you have to dress up, right? She asked, pushing me towards the door. I nodded my head and walked to the bathroom. Jake hadn't said where we were going but he did say that it wasn't a casual.
After showering and shaving everywhere, I was sitting on my bed and being done up by Leah. I was wearing a light pink strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and a sash around my waist. The top was form fitting until you got below the sash and the dress flowed out. I loved it and honestly forgot it was in my closet.
"And done. You look gorgeous!" She exclaimed turning me around so that I cold see my self in the mirror. I smiled when I seen that my normally somewhat bushy hair was now falling down my back in loose ringlets. My nails were done to match the dress and I had on silver heels, making me about six foot one, not that it mattered since Jake was so tall. She had put just enough makeup on me to just make my eyes pop, which I was thankful for since I usually didn't put much on anyway.
"Thanks Lee" I said turning around and giving her a hug. She laughed softly returning my hug when the doorbell rang. I pulled back and grinned at her before grabbing my slightly darker pink cardigan and her hand, leading us downstairs.
"You look gorgeous Angelica!" Maw-Maw said when we reached the living room. She put her book down and got off the couch to give me a hug.
"Thanks Maw-Maw. Bye you guys, I'll see you later" I said nodding to both of them. Maw-Maw nodded her head while Leah waved her hand at me, already picking out movies for her and Embry to borrow.
I opened the door to reveal Jake standing there in all his gorgeousness. He had on white button down shirt that was tucked into black slacks with some nice dress shoes. I looked up and smiled brightly at him subtly smelling him, his scent always calming me. He met my eyes and I seen his face soften as he took in my appearance.
"You look beautiful Angel" He bent down and whispered in my ear.
I blushed slightly at his words as he gave me a gentle kiss on the lips before grabbing my hand and leading us over to the car. He helped me in before walking over to the other side and getting in the car. I tilted my head slightly wondering where we were going. It was only three in the afternoon but all he had told me was a fair bit of driving was involved.
"Can I know where we're going yet?" I asked him after we were driving for about an hour. I knew we were going to Seattle but I wanted to know where in Seattle we were going. We've mostly been making jokes at each other but my excitement was getting the best of me. I looked up at him and seen his lips twitch and his thumb continued to rub circles on my hand.
"Nope, it's a surprise. We should be there in about another hour, though where I take you first isn't actually the surprise, but that's all I'm telling you." He said keeping his eyes straight ahead. I pouted slightly before cheering up and singing along with the radio.
About a hour later we pulled into the parking lot of Red Lobster. I was gonna ask if this was my surprise before remembering his words earlier and shutting my mouth. This was only the pre- surprise, not that I was complaining, this was my favorite restaurant. He opened my door for me and we headed inside and after about a five minute wait, were taken to a booth.
"Can I know now" I said in a small voice, my eyes widening and my bottom lip jutting out slightly. He looked up from his menu and met my eyes. He swallowed and his gaze softened. I thought he was gonna tell me, but of course he held strong.
"Nope. And don't give me the puppy eyes, that's not fair." He said looking very amused. I playfully glared at him before picking up my menu and looking it over. I heard him chuckle and seen him shake his head before looking back down to his own menu. The waitress came over when we were ready to order and she almost went into shock by the amount of food Jake ordered. When she left looking dazed he reached over and grabbed my hand in his warm one and rubbing circles over the top. His legs wrapped around my legs under the table and I felt my heart rate quicken slightly. He looked up from our intertwined hands and smirked at me.
"Don't get cocky" I said trying to sound irritated, but failing miserably. My voice was slightly breathless so he just threw his head back and laughed. I watched him while he laughed and became memorized by how beautiful he was. My heart constricted in a pleasurable way when I seen how his russet skin seemed to glow. His jaw was strong and firm as were his muscles. His teeth were white and perfectly straight, though if you looked closely you could see they were deadly. His eyes sparkled and his laugh made me warm inside. He was beautiful and he was all mine.
He seen me staring at him, most likely with a stupid expression on my face, and looked at me confusedly. He tilted his head to the side, reminding me that he was technically a wolf, and scrunched his eyebrows together.
"What's wrong Angel?" He asked me softly.
"Nothing, I just love you" I practically whispered to him, though he of course heard it. His eyes filled with emotion and he smiled while leaning forward, letting go of my hand to bring it up and cup my chin gently. He brought his lips softly to mine and kissed me as if I were mad of glass. He pulled back before leaning back to pepper my mouth with feather light kisses. He rested his forehead against mine and looked me dead in the eyes, his almost black eyes filled with so much love and tenderness that my own eyes filled with tears.
"I love you too Angel, so much. You're everything to me, I wouldn't exist without you." The tears fell then and he wiped them away with his thumb. I smiled at him and tried to convey all the things I felt for him in my eyes. He nodded his head, letting me know that he got the message.
Just then a throat cleared and I sighed, trying to push down my aggravation at being interrupted. Jake growled softly in irritation before leaning back on his side of the booth. I looked over and seen the waitress and another waiter waiting with our pile of food. The waitress gave me a wink and set our food down while the waiter stared at Jake with something that looked like awe, with Jake pointedly ignored.
"Enjoy your meal!" The waitress said before walking off with waiter, leaving us to eat in peace.
We were back on the road and slowing down and pulling into the parking lot of a huge theatre. My eyes widened and I looked back and forth between the sign and Jake. I squealed and tightened my grip on his hand and leaning in to give him a huge kiss.
"Thank you! This is awesome! Ah! I love it!" I kept repeating to him. We were walking up to the entrance and I was so excited I was practically jumping up and down. He let go of my hand and wrapped it around my waist, handing our tickets to a man behind glass. We were going to see a performance of Swan Lake and I was so happy I could cry!
We found our seats, which were only six rows back from the stage, and sat down waiting for the show to start. I leaned into Jake's side and snuggled up for warmth. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and started playing with my hair, sending tingles down my spine. I looked up at him and smiled broadly.
"Thanks for everything." I told him softly.
"Your welcome Angel" He said right as the lights dimmed and people scattered to take there seats. The music started playing and I watched the stage without so much as moving.
"That was amazing! The dancing was incredible!" I gushed as we were making our way to the car.
Jake had his arm around me and just laughed at me. I smiled big at him and he made his way to open my door when I seen him tense up. He put his arm around my shoulder and spun me so that my back was against the car door and my face was to his chest. He tilted his head to the side and looked as if he was listening to something far away. I peeked out from around his shoulder to see where the danger was at, but saw nothing. I mean there was one homeless man standing across the street, but he seemed harmless.
"Jake, what's wrong?" I looked up at him and asked. I raised one eyebrow when he didn't respond. We stood like that for another few minutes before he opened the door and gently pushed me into the seat. He walked quickly around to the other side and got in before driving out of the driveway a bit faster than normal.
"It was nothing, just thought I heard something is all" He said, smiling tightly at me. He grabbed my hand in his and held on a litter tighter than normal, letting me know he was lying. I chose to ignore it for the night though, I would get it out of him eventually.
While driving back home he kept his eyes on the road and didn't even talk much at all. His eyes would look all around the side streets and forest, while he would lift his head slightly and take a subtle sniff. I assumed something supernatural was going on, but I didn't want to ask right now. I still wasn't over my encounter with vampires, they scared me.
We arrived home at midnight, a bit quicker than what it should have been due to Jake's driving. We walked up to my doorstep and I turned around to face him. The night was perfect, even if at the end he seemed distracted. He smiled at me, seeming more relaxed that we were back in La Push, and leaned down to give me a tender kiss goodnight. He broke away and wrapped his arms around my waist, his forehead resting on mine.
"I need to talk to Sam. Goodnight Angel, sweet dreams" He whispered in my ear before kissing me on the forehead and walking towards his car.
"'Night Jake" I said back, knowing he could hear me. I fumbled quickly to get into the house, knowing he wouldn't pull away until I was inside. Once inside I locked the door behind me and walked slowly up the stairs, exhaustion hitting me. I took off my clothes and shoes and just pulled a tank top on before crawling into bed and snuggling up to the warmth of my comforter. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
So yeah, I made a fluffy chapter. Please review to let me know your opinion on the story!
