*******************************************************************************
J/POV
*******************************************************************************

Yep, this is weird all right.
They somewhat remind me of… home.
Some memories passed quickly in my mind’s eye, but I brushed them away, with a little effort.
I was going to call them soon. Seeing these relationships, the friendship, even for less than a day… A month is too long, even not being long enough for other pains to leave me…

Cut it out Jake.

I forced a smile on my lips, since I wasn’t sure it was still there.

Norma is again making one of her comments. Jesus, that woman has a sick mind. Not that I am complaining: Lis is blushing again. Modesty aside, I feel proud I am able to do that. To leave, what I think are her best friends, completely stupefied with such a normal thing.

Oh, and the look she gave Norma. I smile wider. That was wolfish. Man. If it’s a sin to feel like this, then by all means, I confess. I am a sinner.

Still, I haven’t been able to understand the liking that Norma has taken me under. I felt that Jane’s reaction to me was more… normal I think.
As this Ben’s was.
He seemed a little off, but I can’t blame him. No, I didn’t squeeze his hand like I did the blonde maggot’s, even if I thought about it.
That, and the idea of smashing his head against any available hard surface when Lis responded to him when we came in, especially after Norma’s comment on his drool.

It sounds odd now, since he really seems to be too at ease with her to actually… well, like her? He hasn’t tried to touch her in any way.
And he is trying to bring me in the conversation more actively than she is.

I frown at this.

Since this morning, she had tried, under the excuse that Norma would never shut up if we took too long, to avoid me. Well, in a way I understand this, we really didn’t have any time to talk, and the borders of our relationship were a little blurry. At least for her it seemed.

I had taken a decision concerning her. I didn’t know if this was imprinting or not (wouldn’t Bella pale in comparison to Lis if I was?) but choosing to leave her right now was not a valid option in my book (but I was able to “leave” Bella…).

Cut.it.out.Jake.

Damn, I don’t need to complicate this.

My plan right now is simple: she gives me peace, and I am going to take it. It seems I can control myself better around Lis (I actually didn’t pounce on her in the shower, tho damn did I want to), so this can work. Like I thought, karmic compensation. Maybe the pain I felt with Bella will fade in the background, the same it usually does when Lis is around, or smiles at me.

The Cullen problem isn’t mine anymore. If he wants to bite Bella, it’s not my problem. My chest tightens at the idea.

Which he will… Did he already… When will… Will I feel it? Will I “sense” it?

“Jacob? Hey, earth to Jake here.”

Norma has her hand hovering about an inch from my face.

“Yeah?” I look at her.

“You zoned out.” She looks at me with a half worried smile. That soon extended to creepy lengths. Really. And I am a werewolf. “Thinking about something in particular?”

“God Norma, stop that already!” Lis scolded her, looking at me. “Want to order something?”

Yeah, Norma’s thing seems to be rub on. Between the “want to” and the “order something” my mind was able to take a wicked swivel to the wrong areas of thinking. At least in public.

I need to get new off imageries. Politicians are loosing their shine.

“Something that doesn’t include lead would be nice.” I smile at her. She half smiles at me. That half is bothering me. Don’t know why. That, and the will to be seated closer to her. I let my leg slide under the table, between hers. Better. She stiffs a bit, looking at me with warning scold look, raised eyebrow and her lip trapped between her lips. I grin.

“Not a picky eater?” Ben prompts. I look at him, but Norma beats me to it.

“With his size? I bet he could eat a horse!”

“Norma!” Lis scolds her again, shifting a bit in her seat, the side of one of her legs rubbing against mine, avoiding my gaze as I look at her.

Well, not horses, but wild boar has passed my mouth a couple of times…

“Actually, no.” I let myself grin. “I eat. That’s what I do.”

“Oh oh oh oh!” Norma laughs, putting her hands in the air. “Lis, can you blame me? Can I just say how many ways that sounded bad in a good way right now?”

“No.” Ben and Lis say at the same time.

Norma chuckles, as do I, until Lis’ leg rubs against mine again. That was no shift in position. She is still avoiding my eyes. The window seems really interesting for her.

“You my dear friend, need to get laid.” Ben says with a matter of fact tone, looking at me right after. “Aside from eating, are you looking for a job? If you are planning to stay for long, it would be a good idea.”

Good point. I was almost out of money… Didn’t have that much to begin with. I reached a time when I was so scared of loosing my humanity, (even if the idea for a while was really tempting) that when I got back to the human world, I did some repair jobs on cars and such. Gave me a little money to manage myself.

“Well, yeah. Was hoping there was a mechanic nearby, needing an extra pair of hands.”

Norma gasped. “Oh My God! You are a mechanic? Good with your hands…”

Ben rolled his eyes, and got up, grabbing her hand.

“Come on gutter mind, let’s get some food, it’s getting late and Mason’s going to chew my head off if I don’t show up in time…”

“Ok, ok, coming, coming.”

“Besides, you need a bodyguard to face Jane now.”

“What are you guys talking about?” Lis seems to finally be among us.

“You don’t want to know, trust me. Can you get up?”

She stands up, and I follow, to let Norma pass.

“I have a friend at the local mechanic; can give him a word for you. Or you can just ask around for directions and tell him you’re a friend of Lis’.” He shrugged, walking away with Norma in tow. Lis seats down again in the same place, and I innocently stay beside her.

She looks up at me, with questioning eyes and I raise one of my eyebrows.

“Scoot over.”

She bites her lip again. And then scoots away from the edge of the seat, leaving enough space between us. Too much space in my opinion. I sit down, looking at her. Now it’s the napkin dispenser gathering all of her attention.

“Lis?”
“Huh?” Still looking at it.
“Is everything ok?”
She looks at me.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t it?”
“You are avoiding me.” Yep, direct is my middle name, right next to wolf.
She shifts uncomfortably.
“Were you serious?”
“About?” I’m confused now.
“About staying here for a long time?” She laces her fingers together over the table, her eyes trained on them.
“I thought we already talked about that.”
“Don’t you have a family? Someone that misses you?”

I look down at my own lap. I did. I was going to call them, I was thinking about that just a couple of minutes ago. But… I couldn’t be with them. Not now. The idea of having the pack hive mind hearing my every thought about Bella, and what I felt… I couldn’t cope with the looks on their faces. I just couldn’t. Not right now. Not even now.

“Yes.”

She is looking at me now, I can feel it.

“What are you running away from Jake?” She whispers, and I am not sure she meant it for me to listen to her. She continues right after. “So, why are you here?”

“Here?” I look at her and the words jump out of my mouth before I can think them. “Because of you. Right now, I am here because of you.” Half grin. “I think that was settled too.”

The bright pink of a blush sets on her cheeks, and her scent lingers around me, making me want to just touch her. I move closer, and she doesn’t move away.

“So, we are… like… you know…” She derails and her blush turns deeper. So damn cute.

“Boyfriend and girlfriend?” I ask, half jokingly. She looks at me with such a young insecure expressio it melts me. Hugh, I know how bad and corny it sounds, but it does. I let my hand come to her face. Not that I had much choice in the matter, my skin seemed to be tingling, forcing me to do it.

“Was thinking more in the lines of hump budies…” She says, looking at my chin. “Because of... you know.”

And why does that idea pains me?

“I will fix you.” If I didn’t turn into a werewolf, and if there were no vampires around, I could turn human in time, couldn’t I? She doesn’t even have to know about that. We didn’t look so different in the age department. And I could live like this, right? The pack would survive. Dad is not alone… Bella doesn’t love me. Even if she will always have a part of me, can’t I try and give some part to this girl? She says she is broken, but I am shattered. What a pair. I can’t be fixed, but I can do for her what no one can do for me.

“Will you?” She breathes out, her shoulders slumping ever so slightly, her eyes still looking down.

“Yeah. And to get over that…” I feel a nervous knot in my stomach. Is this the way we should do these things? I never asked this, at least so directly. Bella’s face comes into mind, but the pain never comes; Lis consumes it all. And the peace makes me smile again. “Will you be my girlfriend?” I feel so… dumb and at the same time not right now.

“Official and everything?” Her breathing is coming really short, her voice barely a whisper.

“Hum hum...” Just a little brush of lips. My face comes closer to fulfil the thought.
Will I ever get tired of her scent? Her lips move against mine, almost not touching, one of her hands coming to set over my thigh. And again, it seems I am not going to loose my mind.

“Ok then.” She says breathlessly, between brushes of lips, her hand squeezing my thigh in the process. “Back to highschool…” She laughs nervously. Oh man, if only she knew… Now that wasn’t something I could hide, in the long run…

“Huh… Isa?”

She snaps back at the voice, and my hand falls from her face, as we both turn to the voice.

Jane is standing close to our booth.

“I just want to ask you if you wanted a piece of pie. Ben said he didn’t know so…” The murderous glare is not on her face, but she doesn’t look that happy to me either. It almost seems as she is swallowing a huge frog, and trying to make everyone believe it tastes good.

“Yeah, ok.” Lis smiles, and her hand doesn’t leave my leg. And that seems important enough to me.

“Ok, coming right out.” She turns to leave, but Lis calls to her.

“Jane? Thanks.” And it sounds like she is saying so much more. And by the soft smile on Jane’s lips, she really was.

Ben and Norma came right after to our table, with their plates, and ours. Jane didn’t come to the table again, as we ate.

“Well, it’s time to leave!” Norma announces, looking at Lis and then me. “Are you going to the mechanic? It’s on Ben’s way, so he can drop you by!” She seems chirpier than usual.

Lis looks at him. “You don’t mind?”

“No, it’s all right. Will need to go there anyway, Mason called; he wants new tubes for his sculpture, and the junkyard has good ones he can use. Is that all right with you Jacob?”

I shrug. “Yeah, I don’t mind. And it’s better if I get settled sooner than later.” I say with a smile to Lis.

She gives me a shy smile, that for the life of me makes me want to kiss her again. And why the hell not?

“Let’s go then!” Ben gets up, and Norma follows him.

But I grab Lis’ face between my hands, and kiss her, so fast, she doesn’t have time to protest. “See you at seven?”

She blinks a couple of times, her hands already over my shoulders.

“Huh, yeah.” That dazed look on her eyes is all my doing. I grin, get up and walk to the door, Ben behind me.

I could hear Norma’s shriek of joy even after we were out of the dinner.

**************************************
AN – Ok this one is really small, but like I said, it was the other part of the previous chapter.

Just stalling, setting an idea with these chapters, solidifying some parts, so I can move on. I wonder if the chapters are sounding repetitive (it’s weird, but only a day and a half has passed in this fic. I need to stretch time, this is starting to look like a 24 season).

Tell me if they are.

Anyway, here is settled that Jake still does think himself in love with Bella, but decides to build his happiness here. And Lis didn’t last that long in her hump budies idea, but hey, when a guy like this asks you a question like that, it’s too much. She just melted. Not my fault.

Anyways, many secrets are still being kept from Lis…

Stay tuned, and now, a little favour I know I shouldn’t ask in the guise of a suggestion:

If you don’t want to review, you can always rate.

Review answering

Bee - First of all, thanks for still being here with me. Secondly, I agree with you: he is every inch male. Yum.
Nothing happened in the shower, sorry, lol, but they have been glued together for a while now, so he is kinda desensitized due to long exposure. I wonder what will happen when she goes home again “today”… *grins*
About Lis knowing about Bella. Oh man, I already wrote that. It will be… huh… interesting? Can’t give anything away, but she will find out by Jake himself. So it will be, yeah… interesting. *bites tongue not to tell more*
Thanks again for reviewing.

Waiting to hear from you
