JACOB

Chapter 16| To Show Love.

"So you're okay now?" Katie asked.

"Yeah I'm okay I didn't realize it would happen so fast, I guess I expected more pain." I said playing with my food, I can barely eat today. I'm at lunch with Katie and Jesse, I found out my friend Jesse was a wolf today. News to me, Jesse and I aren't too close but her and Katie are. I use always feel left out when they'd talk, now I guess I know why. While we were talking I was texting Jacob under the table.

"Everyone is different, I don't think it's anything to worry about. I mean when different species of supernatural creatures get mated together anything is possible. There is even a chance that they won't go through it. Right Katie?" Jesse said.

"I suppose, but Scar's human."

"Well anyways, so.. you did you guys do it?" Jesse said.

"Jesse," Katie exclaimed," I'm not-- don't answer that Scar, I rather not hear about my best friend sleeping with my brother. Thank you very much." Katie said.

"I'm sorry but your brother is sexy."

My jaw clenched hearing her say that, I wanted to slap her. Jealousy. Haven't been jealous about a guy in forever. He has this weird effect on me, where my pulse rises when I think about him and I begin to miss him. My skin gets hot when he touches my skin, perhaps you can call it an electric feeling. It's the smallest things that makes me truly believe the god really wanted us to be together. Fated. What if he f***s shits up? What if I f**k s**t up? He is older. Isn't he like 23? What if age makes it difficult? But he's not that old. Well I am very conflicted. I snapped out of my thinking trance and responded.

"We didn't do anything, I don't think I'm ready for that. I don't even know him." I said. I agree with Jacob now that I have a moment of clarity and I'm not in heat of the moment I want to wait before I give my virginity to him. (Pun intended.)I barely know him. Who knows I'll probably end up hating him. But I'm probably going to have to buy a vibrator, Jesse was right he's sexy and he seems serious about me saving myself.

" I knew you were my best friend for a reason, for a minute there I began to question. Who are you?" She joked.

"Ha ha very funny."

"What are you doing tonight Scar?" Katie asked.

"I'm going somewhere with your brother."

"Ugh, kill me now."

"What?"

"Scarlett I get it your his mate but I hate the fact that your with him. You were my human and he took you away from me. I swear if he wasn't my superior I would break his f*****g jaw."

"You don't like him very much do you?"

"I love his my brother I don't particularly like him for varies reasons. Like he took you from me."

What is with you werewolves and claiming people?"

"You aren't my mate but you are my best friend and I love you like a sister. So that happens when we deeply care for someone."

"How does that even work? When Jacob tell you guys to do something you do it without question?"

"We aren't his minions, we have a mind of our own. We can choose to defy him but he is the Alpha, he keeps us safe and takes care of all of us. So the least we can do is show him some respect. I guess you can say we are naturally indebted to him." Jesse explained.

"Can a woman be Alpha?"

"A women can, but people can be sexist. They think woman are weak and frail. It pisses me off. She's called a Luna. Maybe on day if you except Jacob you'll become are Luna."

"But I'm human."

"Fate doesn't make mistakes Scar. You're a strong woman, you're also very humble. One of my favorite things about you. If you show them your worthy to be followed, they'll follow your lead."

"Sounds like a big deal."

"Maybe my mom can help you out, when you do decide." Katie suggested.

"I guess so, I've never had so many people notice me though. I have always been your shadow and I was very fine with that."

"Yeah well it's time for the spot light to hit your shy ass. Now stop being a wuss."

"Wear this." Grace said.

"Oh my gosh where did you get this." I said admiring the dress she held in her hand Grace is helping me get ready because she has way better taste than me. Guilty.

"I bought it for you and saved it for you waiting for this day to come."

"Wow this is..."

"If you wear this he won't keep his eyes of you, so he won't look at any other bitch."

I laughed. I took the dress from her and placed it on my bed. "Thank you so much Grace." I said hugging her.

"Okay sit down let me do your make up." I sat on the bed and let her beat my face (with makeup). She even put make up on my chest to hide my hickeys. Jacob's marked healed all the way today. It was a good thing it healed this morning I wouldn't know what to tell Grace and Ebony about it.

When she was done it was 7:32. I did my hair, I used styling gel and put it up in a bun and let neat curly strands in the front of face. I put some earrings and a necklace on. I finally put the dress on and it fitted me smoothly it hugged my curves, I looked into the body mirror and let me tell you I looked sexy. I don't usually refer to myself as sexy but tonight I really looked good. I wore my nude high heels with it.

"He's here." Grace said popping her head in my room.

"Okay I'm coming."

"Well I got to go on my d**k date. I am having scandalous s*x tonight. Have fun." She said before leaving.

I laughed and shook my head.

I sprayed perfume on me I grabbed my clutch and walked out my room. Jacob was against the front door. He smiled when he saw me, he looked sexy. I blushed.

"You look amazing baby." He said hugging me.

I blushed, "And you look and smell sexy." He wore a button up shirt and couple undone revealing his chest with a dark blue jacket.

He laughed, "Ready to go?"

"Yes."

We walked out I locked the door and we went down to his car.

"Do you know your roommate threaten me?"

"Oh my gosh, for really what did she say?" I asked as he opened the door for me.

"She wants you home by 2:00 and if I hurt you she's going to find me and set my house on fire."

I laughed. "It's okay I'll text her. The funny thing is she's crazy enough to do it."

"Good to know, don't tell he where I live." He said getting into the driver's seat.

"Jacob how many cars do you have?" I asked. Yesterday he was driving a Range Rover and today he is driving a Bentley.

"I don't know maybe 7 to 10."

"Oh my gosh, that's a lot."

"Do you want one?"

I shook my head. "I can't take one of your cars."

"Alright let me buy you a car."

"Jacob you are not buying me a car."

"Scarlett how do you get from place to place?"

"I take the bus, uber, taxi. I manage." I said. I don't like taking things from people.

"And you don't want a car."

"I mean I do but I have to support myself on a low paying job so I don't have enough money for a car unfortunately."

"Katie said you wouldn't allow her to buy you a car and she said you are aware that she's capable of doing so."

"I don't like people doing things for me, especially things that unnecessary and expensive."

"Why?"

"I don't know." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"You don't like people taking care you Scarlett. I see that now. I think you want people to see the strong, self-depending, dominate side of you."

"Oh yeah, since you can see through me what am I truly?"

"You are strong and independent but, I think sometimes you get tired of having to believe to that you cannot truly depend on anyone. And I believe you avoid and run away from your demons because you think you aren't strong enough to face them. Therefore, you put your guard up so no one would find out and you make sure everyone sees the strong side of you. And I'm guessing with the exception of Katie."

I sat there speechless, gawking at him. "Okay either Kaitlyn talks about a lot and I need to have a serious talk with her... or."

"OR I am really good at anticipating people. It comes with the title."

I bit my lip and shook my head I stared away from him and looked out my window. I watched the cars pass us and I watched us pass other cars. I stayed silent. I don't know what say or what to think. "Jacob I don't want to talk about that. So don't ask me to, okay?"

"I won't ask you to baby not tonight," He said intertwining our fingers and kissing my knuckles. "I just want you to be happy."

"I am," I said kissing his cheek. I turned on the radio and Party Next Door was playing. I started to sing along.

Jacob laughed at me but I didn't care.

"Never thought the circumstances would've changed you... Come and see me for once... Take a couple sick days and not miss pay... I can't even lie to you.." I didn't know the entire song but I still sang along the parts I did now.

"You have a beautiful voice."

I shoved him slightly, "I do not you were laughing at me the entire song, you liar." I rolled my eyes playfully.

"You're so sexy." He said out of nowhere.

I blushed and shook my hair, "Is it just tonight or you generally think I'm pretty."

"First I don't think I know you're sexy. You're sexy all the time. But tonight you make me want to take you home and rip everything off of you and make you strip for me."

I blushed. "You need to stop ripping my clothes."

"I'll buy them back for you."

I rolled eyes smiling, he's so stupid and cute. He say all the right things. Ugh. It's so hard not to fall for him. God I want for him. I'm just waiting for a sign not too.

"Are we there yet?"

"Actually we already here." He said driving in a parking lot.

"Is this a club?"

"Yup."

"Jacob I don't think you've noticed but I'm minor."

"You don't look like one." He smiled.

"Jacob they won't let me in."

"Scarlett it's okay I'm a partial owner here."

"Wow okay." I said.

He got out the car and came to my door and opened it for me. I got out. Jacob took me out and locked the car with his keys. He held my hand and we walked to the entrance the line was long. I heard a couple of whistles, I started to feel self-conscious I hated people eyes on me. Jacob grip on my hand tightened, I could tell he was getting mad. I held his arm and snuggled against him, he calmed down right away. The bouncer must've recognized Jacob because he let us in without question. The music blasted I held my clutch close me as we squeezed through the crowd. Jacob held on to my hand and led me through, I followed.

"Jacob where are we going?!" I shouted.

"V.I.P. to meet some people."

My heart started to pound, I became nervous I thought we were going to a quite dinner somewhere. All alone. We entered VIP area and it looked like a whole bunch of rich people. I am so happy I ate before I came.

We entered a quite area, "Jacob."

"Are you okay baby?" He said with his hands on the side of my face.

I nodded my head.

"Are we going to drink alcohol?"

He laughed, "You want to?"

"Sure."

"Alright let's go." He said opening the door the music blasted. He led me the one of the many VIP seats.

Jacob led me to a group of 3 guys and 2 girls barely wearing clothes on the arms of two out of three of the guys.

"Mike!" Jacob said clapping his friend up. Greeting his friends and he introduced me to them.

"Scarlett-- Mike my brother, and this is Rick and Gale."

"Hi," I said with a shy wave.

Jacob and I sat down.

"So how are Scarlett?" Mike asked.

"I'm okay."

"Katie told me so much about you."

"She did? She never talked about her family much."

"Well I guess you now know why."

I smiled a nodded. Did I mention I am a very shy person? Never been the to make new friends.

Jacob gave me a reassuring smile. A hostess came and greeted us, we ordered drinks. Jacob ordered for me since I know nothing about alcohol. We talked I became less tense and more comfortable. Mike was super nice and chill. The girls were Rick and Gale's companions for the night. Maybe it was the alcohol rounds but I loosened up and had fun. They smoked some weed but I didn't get any.

I was currently drinking an Emerald Daiquiri, I didn't know what they put in it but it tasted amazing. "Baby are you okay?" Jacob asked me.

I nodded my head, "Why?"

"This isn't your first drink. Have you ever drank alcohol before?"

I shook my head, "This is honestly my first time drinking." I giggled.

"Baby I think you're a little tipsy."

I giggled, "I think so but I'm okay Jacob, you're so cute." I said.

Jacob POV

"Do you want to dance? Let's go dance Jacob. I want to go dance. I'm going to go dance," She giggled getting up going over my lap to pass with her drink in her hand tripping a little bit on her heels.

"She's so f*****g drunk." Mike said laughing. I shook my head laughing too she looked cute when she's drunk. But maybe I shouldn't have gave her any liquor, she is going to have a bad hang over in the morning.

"Jacob lets go dance." She said pulling me from my seat stumbling on her heels.

"Alright I'm coming."

She swallowed her drink whole and threw her glass on the floor. "That tasted so good Jacob."

"Alright baby lets go down stairs. You were supposed to drink it slowly baby." We left the VIP area.

"I didn't Jacob I'm sorry, but I want to dance. Omg we were just I listening to this song in the car! I love this song!" She screamed. She started dancing on me. She was sexy drunk, she was a sexy drunk dancer too.

She grinded her booty on me, she pulled my arms around her waist. I turned her around put her arms around my neck and kissed her.

• • •

I opened my eyes to the sun shining on my face, I put the blanket over my face. I felt my head beginning to throb. "f**k me." I groaned.

"All you have to do is ask." It was Jacob. He pulled the covers from my face. "My head hurts." I whined. It did.

"Lightweight." He said. He stood there with a glass of water and some Tylenol.

I sat up, "I'm sorry, I've never gotten drunk before."

"You never drank alcohol before but, it's okay you were cute." He said handing me the cup of water. I took it and swallowed the pill and water afterwards.

"Fuck."

"What happen?"

"I don't have my clothes on."

"You woke up during the night the night and took them off."

"I know I'm sorry, it's a force of habit. I hope it wasn't much of problem."

"Ohm tsk, it was a... let's just say that I didn't sleep in this room last night."

"I'm so sorry."

"No its okay." he chuckled.

"Alright I think I should take a bath."

"Okay I had some one buy you some clothes before you woke up, so you'd have something to wear today."

"Okay thank you."

"Alright I'll bring them." he said walking out.

I sighed, probably wasn't the best idea to go out on a school night. In my defense I didn't know we'd be going to the club and that'd I would be drinking. I guess I should've ask. I barely know him and I'm sleeping in his bed. I don't know I think I trust him, I trust Katie and if I had something to worry about she would tell me. I got out the bed and went to the bathroom and took a shower. And the bathroom was big and beautiful just as I remembered it. I washed myself up and washed my hair. The shampoo smelled good, really good.

When I finished I dried myself and my hair with a towel. I didn't know what tooth brush to use so I used anyone. I stepped out the bathroom and found the clothes that Jacob got me neatly laid on the bed. It was a black dress that went down to my knees. It was beautiful he even got me underwear, everything fitted me perfectly. I went downstairs and saw Jacob seating on the couch watching the game. I sat next to him and kissed his cheek. "Hi."

"Hey how was your shower?"

"It was good. Hey what time is it?"

"Uh it's 2:32. Have somewhere to go?"

"Not anymore. What about you, does somebody have your attention today?"

"Tonight I'll be pretty busy."

"Doing what?"

"Business."

"What business?"

He turned to me and put his fingers through me wet hair.

"I have to attend an execution." He said with a straight face.

"Oh okay... You are JOKING? Right?"

"What if I was would you want me to tell you?"

"Jacob I-I don't know." I said shaking my head.

"What if somebody were to hurt you and I killed them, how would that make you feel?"

"This is a serious question, you want me to answer it?" I asked.

"Yes I want you to answer the question."

"Ohm okay, so if somebody were to hurt me-- would I be mad at you for murdering someone... for me," I repeated the question trying to process the question he just asked me.

"What would you do, what would be your reaction?"

"Theoretically speaking, I think I would have to take break from you. Not because you killed someone but because you killed that person because of me."

"Because of you?"

"Yeah it depends on why you killed the person, you might've had a good reason for killing that person one. But if I know that you are capable of killing someone solely for the reason that they hurt me. That would be hard for me to be with you, because I think it would be a scary thing to kill for me. For anyone to kill for me. Besides I can't imagine having that type of control over you."

"Maybe it's difficult for you to fathom that you could ever be that important, because you think you aren't capable of being that important to anyone. You're scared to be that important. You're scared of what you don't know, of what you've never had.

I bit my lip and shook my head, "I've never been that important to anybody, well besides Katie. So yeah I think I am scared.

"Most of your life you were and still are that important Scarlett. Do you understand that?"

I shook my head, I looked at my lap. "That's scary."

"You don't have to be scared or feel alone. Not anymore."

"Where did that all come from?"

"Last night when we left the club, you-you started to cry. You were saying how scared you are of falling in love me. And how you've never felt loved. How everyone abandoned you including me."

I played with my finger tips and bit my lip, "I was hoping that was dream."

"It wasn't, but I am glad you told me how you actually feel. No one should have to keep that locked up and act like you shouldn't feel that way, especially with what you've been through." He said lifting my chin up.

I sighed, "How are you so perfect?"

He chuckled, "Even I'm not perfect, one day you'll find something in me you don't like. Maybe something I've done."

"Maybe."

He chuckled, smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Where's my phone?" I asked.

He handed it to me, "Did you go through it?" I said jokingly.

"You have something to hide?"

"Maybe," I said pouting, I looked at my calendar and it reminded me Katie's birthday was in a couple of days. Her birthday is on March 10 and mine is in September 1. So I literally just turned 17 about 7 months ago and Katie is turning 18. "Katie's birthday is next weekend."

"Yeah that's right."

"Did you buy her anything yet?"

"No actually I haven't, do you want to go pick up something for her?"

"I was planning on buying us matching rings. aBut I'm broke. So I think I'm going to just throw her a party."

"Let me buy the rings."

"No I can't let you do that."

"Why not she's my sister?"

"Well because it was my idea."

"Okay let's just say the gift came from both of us."

"Jacob I can't, I don't feel right taking people money."

"You won't be taking my money, we both go to the jewelry store, you pick something out and I pay for them. I tell Katie it's my gift, you throw the party."

"Fine but I am taking full credit. You hungry? I'm hungry."

"How about on the way to the jewelry store we get some breakfast," he suggested.

"Sounds great."
