If you are confused that this is not picking off where chapter 12 ended that's because after I wrote 13 as an A/N I changed it to an actual chapter! Fully apology at bottom!

Chapter 14 Edward and Jacob… and Mione? …

The ride back to my house was filled with Bella complaining about Edward and how he couldn't just do something like that and not expect her to want to know details.

I nodded and agreed in the appropriate places. But once we were securely at my house I noted Jacob was sitting on the doorstep.

Slapping my forehead I kicked myself for forgetting him. How in the name of Merlin's mistress I managed to forget him I'll never know.

At the sound of my car he looked up. His face went from sad and disappointed to positively thrilled the next.

The fact that that particular look was on his face made me simply beam with happiness.

"I know that look… my mom gets it every time she gets a new boyfriend." Bella said from beside me. I knew Jacob heard from the bark of laughter he gave before standing and making his way to the car.

I sighed. At least Bella was okay with it.

"Do you want me to go home? I don't mind if you do. I don't really want to watch the two of you go at it… or hear it for that matter." She asked looking at me.

I was only half listening to her. I was concentrated on Jacob. The way he walked even turned me on.

"Yes. I think I'll leave. Bye Harry." She said kissing my cheek, grabbing her backpack and getting out of the car. "Bye Jacob… I'd tell you to behave but that would be like telling you to stop eating or stop growing. So I'm going to go with 'have fun'…" I heard her say before closing the car door and making her way down the road.

I knew I should have felt bad about making her walk but I had a hankering that Edward was seething at me and following her closely.

Smiling I undid my seat belt and got out of the car.

"I was wandering where you had gotten off to." Jacob said with a smile in his voice.

"Bella nearly got ran over by a car." I explained.

He expression turned to a pained one before tearing off after Bella.

I laughed when I heard her squeal. Then rolled my eyes when he brought her back.

"I was over half way there Jacob!" she complained as she straightened her skirt and took her backpack away from Jacob.

"You are not getting hit by a car again, not with the two of us so close by." Jacob practically growled.

"You could have just taken me the rest of the way home you know…" Bella said her face turning a shade of red.

"oh… yeah… I didn't think of that…" Jacob muttered sheepishly. "I can take you now… if you want…"

"uh… ok…" Bella said unsure and squealed again when he picked her up and ran her home.

And people said I had a hero complex… sheesh…

I unlocked my door and sat my Hogwarts bag down next to the door and made my way to the kitchen. I heard a soft breeze but knew that none of the windows were open.

"I didn't know he would do that Edward. I apologize."

"He made her stink…" Edward grumbled softly making me laugh as I opened the refrigerator.

"I'll fix her in a moment." I said grabbing two cans of Dr. Pepper setting one on the counter and opening the other and taking a long swig.

Sighing contently I took out my wand and cast the scent charm.

"there. She won't smell like anything for about an hour or so. Then she'll be as good as normal."

"Thank you. Your wolf is coming. I'll see you later." And with that he was gone.

I picked up the second can of Dr. Pepper and tossed it to thin air.

Jacob caught it easily.

"Are you sure you have no super hearing or anything?" he asked as he popped open the can.

"I'm sure. I'm just that good." I said with a sly grin as I took a sip of my drink. "Now… what do you want to eat?"

"I think the better question is what am I hungry for." Jacob said with a wicked glint in his eyes that sent a shiver down spine.

"Food first." I said simply as my stomach growled. "American cafeteria food sucks."

"Fine…" Jacob sighed dramatically.

"I never thought Jacob Black would choose something over food…"

"Hey… I take offense to that!"

"No you don't." I said grinning as I turned back to the fridge and prowled.

"Anything sound good to you?" I asked after I read most off the contents to him.

When he didn't answer me I turned to see him staring at me.

"Jake!"

"Huh… what?"

"Food…"

"Nu uh. You…" he said standing and moving next to me.

He was close enough that what little chill traces of the outside I still had simply faded away in his warmth.

"Jake…" I started as I looked up to him.

"Hmm?" he asked glancing between my lips and my eyes.

Out of nowhere I heard music.

"Precision… strings… winds… words… yea you see her sitting there across the way. She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her. And you don't know why but your dying to try you want to kiss the girl. Yes you want her. Look at her you know you do. Possible she wants you too. There's one way to ask her. It don't take a word not a single word. Go on a kiss the girl…"

"HERMIONE Jane GRANGER!" I yelled as loud as I could but I heard a whoosh of fire.

"YES?" I heard her giggle.

"Ugh… what a way to ruin the moment…" I muttered as I glared darkly at the ceiling. "Get your arse down here!"

I heard her tiny footsteps as she made her way down the stairs. I expected it but I was still caught off guard when Hermione tackled me in a hug.

"is there a reason you interrupted our kiss?" I asked as she began to let me breathe again.

"if I hadn't've done it when I did I would have never got to meet the infamous Jacob Black." She said as if I should have known this.

"Hermione Granger, Jacob. Jacob Black, Mione. There you know each other now may I have my kiss?"

"In a minute." She said sweetly to me before turning to Jacob and she stuck her wand in his chest. "If I hear even a whisper that you have hurt Harry then I promise you I will hunt you down and castrate you with the Jaws of Life. Slowly. Painfully." She said in a voice so low that I had to cringe. I knew that voice. That was the one that she used with Ron and me when we had spilt a little ink on a book. "now… Ron will be here in about half an hour I thought I would give the two of you fair warning to get what ever you need to out of your systems before he shows up. I'll be back with him. Tootles!" she said smiling at me before sending Jacob a death glare that chilled even me.

It was a moment before Jacob spoke again.

"Well she's a right little ray of sun shine isn't she?" he asked suddenly nervous.

"She gave the same threat to the last two guys I dated. I made sure I broke up with them and told her that I had hurt them. The first guy I dated hurt me really bad and I think he is still in St. Mungo's." I explained.

"Don't worry. I'd kill myself before I allowed you to be hurt. Especially by me." He said hugging me close.

Song is from "the little mermaid" in case you didn't know. I am a 90's child and proud of it! You will find many random mentions of Disney in most of my stories…

I know this is a short chapter but I think I have been neglecting this story… well my kinda sorta not really is no more and I needed to vent and breathe. And considering it wasn't our choice it's been a wee bit hard on us but we're getting through it. My brother came home for the marines for about a week longer than expected. I have also been writing on my other stories… sorta. I've started three new ones because I didn't know where to go with this one.

Please forgive me my faithful readers…

Now see that little white button with pretty green writing? Yes! THAT ONE! Click it and tell me what you think… and I MIGHT just give you your own shirtless Jacob… =)
