Chapter 20. Sorry about the late update. I went on a much deserved mini holiday and left all technology at home. Thank you guys so so much for the reviews from chapter 19. Again you guys are awesome. So nice. Anyways, happy reading and remember to tell me what you think. For the next chapters a lot more drama will be happening plus some lemons (I put it as M for a reason).

"Where are we going?" I asked Jacob as guided me to his car. It was about eight in the evening and we were going on our first date. That morning and afternoon we spent at Billy`s and at Emily`s. Billy was over the moon at us finally getting together. The pack was shocked. As soon as we arrived to Emily`s Jacob surprised everybody, including myself, by tonguing me in the middle of the kitchen. We were congratulated on finally getting together. The only one who acted a bit off was Leah. It wasn`t jealously or anger I read off of her, it was something else that I couldn`t get a hold on. I knew she had nothing against me, we were actually turning out to be good friends, but I knew she and Jacob rubbed each other the wrong way.

"You said to surprise you." He seemed a little nervous. He opened the passenger door of the Rabbit for me and I got in, pulling the skirt of my dress down so not to show too much crotch or leg.

"I did, I know. Did I get too dressed up?" Jacob had dropped me home two hours ago so I could relax and get ready before we went out. I chose quite a lose fitting black T-shirt dress which my nana had told me was way too short and paired it with a pair of black ballet flats and my nicest jewelry. I put my coat and bag on my lap as Jacob got into the drivers seat and started the engine.

"Too dressed up? No...you look amazing, beautiful." He smiled shyly at me and fingered my necklace before kissing me gently.

"Thanks...you do too." He did look amazing, with and without clothes on. The guy could pull off a simple jeans and T-shirt combo for any occasion.

"Thanks." He said as he drove out of my drive. "So we are going to Port Angeles. I thought maybe a movie and then we could get a bite to eat." He said hesitantly. My heart went out to him...he so wasn`t experienced when it came to dating. I had been on a good couple of dates but they either ended with me being bored stiff or the guy trying to catch a feel.

"Sounds perfect." I said enthusiastically. Jacob visibly relaxed and grinned. I put his stereo on low and found my favorite rock channel playing Baba O`Reilly. I smiled and turned the volume up slightly.

"Who plays this song?" Jacob asked curiously.

"The Who."

"Who?"

"The Who. Come on, you must know The Who." I said, nudging him a little with my elbow.

"Oh yeah..The Who. I think my dad has some vinyl of theirs at home."

"You should listen to them." I suggested, Jacob had the weirdest taste in music ever. I once found a Maroon 5 CD in his bedroom. I hate judging people on their musical tastes but...come on! Maroon 5 Jacob?

"We could listen together maybe." He said, placing his warm hand on my bare knee and massaging it a little. It felt so nice having his hot skin touch my own.

"Maybe baby. What movie did you have in mind?"

"I checked the listings on the web, maybe Jane Eyre." Seriously? Jacob wanted to see Jane Eyre?

"As in the book we are reading for English? If you want." It was interesting but not the type of movie I liked seeing in the cinema.

"I thought girls liked those types of movies."

"Do you like them?"

"Not really." He admitted.

"How about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?"

"If you want. Never heard of it." Poor Jacob, being a shapeshifting, vampire slaying teen wolf has really disconnected him from the normal world.

"I think you`ll like it more than Jane Eyre. The book is amazing, I`ll lend it to you if you want. Basically it`s about this girl called Lisbeth Salander who is a total bad ass computer genius with superior maths skills and a reporter called Mikel Blom...something. Anyways, they team up together to investigate the murder of a rich old mans niece. It`s awesome." I finished smiling which made Jacob laugh.

"If it`s as cool as you say then we`ll see it. Sounds better than Jane Eyre anyway."

"Cool."

"Are you a popcorn or a nachos girl?"

"I`m a chocolate covered peanuts girl."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah...they are my weakness. I never understood why they sell popcorn, which is the noisiest food ever, to people in the cinema."

"You have a point."

"Plus I always get salt lips afterwards, and terribly thirsty."

"I totally get what you mean. I hate getting popcorn skins stuck in my teeth."

"It`s the worst. Then you keep touching it with your tongue until you eventually pick it out...so annoying."

"So...The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...chocolate covered peanuts...anything else?"

"Nope...the rest depends on you."

"Okay then. Won`t you be cold with bare legs?" He ran his hand up and down my thigh, causing my skin to goosebump with excitement. I felt my vagina being to heat up with this simple touch.

"Not when I`m next to you." I said quietly. Jacob`s hand squeezed my thigh lightly before he removed it and placed it on the steering wheel along with the other. The loss of his warm skin made me feel a bit chilly. He coughed and sat up straighter in his seat. The car was so not the place for this. I knew it and so did he. I wondered when will be the right time? I wanted to make love to him so bad. But I was afraid. Afraid of moving too fast. Of pushing things. What would happen when we are alone and I didn`t want things to stop? What would happen after that?

When we eventually got to Port Angeles and parked close to the cinema, Jacob took my hand and we walked the short distance. He was in a quiet mood, a watchful mood. He was on alert.

"What`s up Jacob?" I asked as we joined the queue for the ticket booth. He released my hand and put his arm around my shoulders and took another sweeping look around us.

"He`s here, they`re here. I can smell him, hear them." He said bitterly.

"Who?" I was perplexed.

"Bella and her leech. They`re here."

"Really?" Oh man! I didn`t need them spoiling my date with Jacob.

"Yeah, they`re inside, about to leave." Scary Jacob was back.

"So what? It doesn`t matter to us what they are up too. It`s about me and you tonight." I hugged around his waist and looked up at him. His face was set in a grimace but softened when he looked down at me. He drew me closer to his warm body and kissed the top of my head.

"I know...sorry. I just can`t help it. When there is a leech around..."

"I get it. It`s natural. You go into defense mode."

"More like attack mode." Jacob muttered and looked over at the entrance of the cinema. Sure enough, Bella and Edward came through the doors, hand in hand. Edward locked eyes with Jacob and gave him a death stare. Bella looked...like Bella. The perpetual lost little girl clutching at the hand of a grown up. She spied me and Jacob and her face turned sullen.

"Jacob...Sonia. A pleasure as always." Edward`s creepy drawl greeted us. Jacob tightened his hold around me. Who drugs a person? Seriously?

"Jake...I haven`t seen you in forever." Bella chimed up at him, her big brown eyes looked hurt.

"It`s because Sonia has given him an ultimatum. You or her. He chose her, although Jacob is a bit upset over it." What. The. Fuck? Mind reading cock sucker.

"Jake? Really? We are best friends."

"Leave it Bella. You chose what side you are on." Jacob spat. I was beginning to get really annoyed now. So Jacob was upset that he couldn`t see Bella?

"It`s not about sides Jacob! Why can`t we just get along?" She whined at him. Eurgh I just wanted to sock her in the face.

"Don`t even think about it Sonia." Edward hissed at me, baring his teeth. Jacob growled lowly and placed himself in front of me in a protective stance. They faced each other with unconcealed loathing and hatred. Ah crap! Not tonight!

"Come on Jacob...he`s not worth it! He wants a fight he`s that bored." I said as I tugged at Jacob`s hand.

"Keep out of this Sonia! It`s none of your business. It`s between me, Edward and Jacob." Bella snapped at me.

"And that`s the way you want to keep it, isn`t it? You are so obvious." I sniggered at her.

"You don`t know what you`re talking about." Bella said nastily. "This is between us."

"Anything got to do with Jacob is my business! Got it princess? Come on Jacob..We`re next." We were beginning to attract attention from the rest of the queue and two security men were watching us, waiting for someone to throw the first punch.

"This isn`t over leech. Not by a long shot." Jacob growled at a smirking Edward.

"Oh I know dog." Edward said before taking Bella by the hand disappearing down the street and around the corner. As soon as they were out of sight Jacob wrapped his arms around me for a brief hug before stepping up to the ticket booth to buy our tickets. I offered to pay for my own but Jacob refused it. I knew he didn`t have much money and patrolling kept him from getting a part time job. I felt horribly guilty all of a sudden. I hadn`t thought about how much tonight would cost.

"Hey Jacob, how about I buy the food?" I asked brightly. "Since you payed for the tickets. It`s only fair."

"No!" He growled angrily, scaring me a little. I looked down at the ground sadly. This night was totally ruined. I felt Jacob take my hand and I let him lead me inside and to the concession stand.

"So...peanuts right? And a coke?" He asked, a bit short.

"Just a coke..I`m not that hungry." I whispered to the sticky, carpeted floor.

"What`s up with you? Is it about the leech?"

"Sorta..." I said, still not looking at him. He sighed and pulled me into him.

"I know that look, and that tone. What did I do?" Jacob asked softly, craning his head down to try and look into my eyes.

"Nothing...don`t worry."

"So why are you pouting?"

"I don`t pout."

"You do and you are doing it now. Tell me...come on. I just want to make tonight special."

"I don`t want you to spend all your money on me tonight is all." I admitted. Jacob snorted.

"That`s why you are upset? My God Sonia...I have tonight...and all the rest of the nights covered so don`t worry over something stupid."

"Yeah but Jacob.."

"But nothing. This is our first date. I want to treat you. Please let me." I looked into his puppy dog eyes and melted, a small smile tugged at my lips.

"Is that a smile I see? Does my Lady want milk chocolate covered peanuts or white chocolate covered peanuts?"

"Milk chocolate...obviously." I said, eyeing Jacob`s beautiful red brown skin before meeting his eyes again. They were sparkling as they travelled along my face.

"Obviously." He whispered before lifting me up for a kiss. He pulled away and searched my eyes. "All better now?" He asked huskily. I nodded and he set me down on my feet.

"All better." I said, still thinking about Bella and what Edward said about Jacob being upset over not seeing her. Was I being selfish in demanding that? Should I just trust him?

We watched the movie which was really cool. A good choice. Jacob almost shielded during the horrible rape scene. Afterwards he said that he really enjoyed it and we commented on the various good points of the film. We walked over to the best pizzeria in Port Angeles ran by a really funny Italian couple called Aurelio and Mariella, who fought constantly in Italian at the back of the shop. The place was crowded but we managed to find a spot in the middle of two groups of friends. Jacob found me a stool and we ate our pizza happily. The noise didn`t bother me so much, neither did the people. With Jacob here beside me everything else just blurred away. We chatted away about music, movies, people we knew and would kiss every so often. Jacob kept away from the topic of the pack and the vampires. I guess he just wanted to have a normal night out and not worry about things so much. When he laughed his face would light up the way I remembered from before he changed. The way he looked at me made me hope that he really was falling for me. That he was finally feeling the same way about me that I feel for him.

"Why did you cut your hair?" He asked, running his fingers through the length.

"I cut it like two months ago." It had grown out a bit since then.

"Yeah I know, but that wasn`t my question." He said, tucking some hair behind my ear.

"I cut it because...I wanted to be different...to her." Jacob looked confused before finally rolling his eyes and shaking his head.

"What a reason...man Sonia. You couldn`t be more different."

"Whatever." I said coldly. I was so annoyed.

"Come on...hair doesn`t make someone who they are."

"That`s what you think. Bella is all about her looks." I was pushing it. I knew I was. I couldn`t stop myself though.

"What do you mean. Bella doesn`t really care about that I don`t think."

"Come on Jacob. Tell me, if Bella was some ugly, overweight pizza face would you still have felt the way you do."

"Did!"

"Okay did. You wouldn`t. She has the whole fragile, white skinned weak damsel in distress thing going on. Men are attracted to that."

"Not true." Jacob said shaking his head. "Then why am I so attracted to you?"

"Because I`m your imprint silly."

"No...not the reason."

"Then what?"

"I`ll tell you when you promise to stop bashing on about Bella."

"Okay I`ll stop. Tell me."

"Yeah right." He said laughing.

"Come on Jacob! Tell me."

"I`ll think about it."

"One reason."

"Just one? Hmmm...you`re mysterious." He said totally serious.

"Mysterious? Me? You must be joking." I laughed as I took another bite of the pepperoni.

"It`s true. Sonia Mara. One girl you sure as hell don`t mess with, one that`s so graceful, looks like an angel and yet is tough, a lot tougher than some of the guys I run with."

"That`s not true."

"It is. You`re strong. You know what you want. But you are also sweet when you want to be...when you judge people worthy."

"What did you think of me before you imprinted?"

"Mostly the same. I didn`t know what to make of you then."

"A lot of people don`t."

"That`s true. When you flipped me off in the hallway the day after I imprinted on you...it was...I wasn`t expecting that." He laughed a little at the memory.

"I remember that. You were all intense and angry. I couldn`t for the life of me understand why."

"Now you do."

"I do."

We finished the pizza and decided to head back to La Push. Tomorrow was Monday and another week of school lay ahead. Before he dropped me at my house we parked a little bit away and started to make out. Jacob`s wandering hands felt the length of my legs and tried to find their way under my dress. I stopped him though. Not now. Don`t push things.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" Jacob asked between kisses. It was so tempting. I wanted him to.

"My mom said no sleepovers until I`m eighteen."

"She doesn`t have to know." He whispered into my ear, causing shivers of pleasure to run down my entire body.

"No Jacob. I respect my mom too much. I don`t want to lose her trust." I said seriously.

"She`ll understand."

"No Jacob...please understand. Can you not wait six months to sleep in my bed?"

"April is ages away." He whined.

"We`ll see each other tomorrow."

"I`ll pick you up?"

"You `re so heavy." I said playfully as he pulled me in for another kiss. He moaned into my mouth which was so sexy.

"I can stay with you tonight?" He asked again hopefully.

"No Jacob, I`m not getting grounded."

"Hmmmm fine. What you want."

Jacob walked me to my door and we said our goodnights and kissed for one last time. When I had shut myself away in the bedroom that I had never felt so in love in my whole life. So weightless...so free. Jacob was that reason...and I was going to everything to keep it that way.

Remember to review. It makes the story better and the chapters come quicker. Thanks for reading!
