I'm sitting in the grill with Seth and Jacob for lunch. Yeah, you heard me right. Jacob Black. For some reason, he has become very intent on 'protecting me'. I can't stand it. Me and Seth were supposed to have a relaxed lunch together and then go to the cinema, but now it's just awkward. I bite down on my sandwich and look between Seth and Jacob once again, who seem to be having a conversation using their werewolf pack telepathy.
"Guys, you realise I can't hear what you're saying, right?"
"Jacob was just saying that he's busy and needs to leave now," Seth says while pursing his lips and looking over at Jacob expectantly. Jacob looks back with a blank expression.
"I'm not busy." This guy really doesn't know how to take a hint.
"Jacob, what Seth is trying to say is that you're not welcome to join us. I don't feel particularly comfortable around you." He shifts in his seat at the sound of my remark.
"And why is that?"
"Have you already forgotten how rude you were to me yesterday?" Of course he has. How ignorant.
"I...I need to protect you, end of discussion."
"I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself, thank you. I don't need you to be my 'keeper'."
"You're strong, yes, but do you really think that you could survive if our entire pack tried to attack you head-on?" He has a point there.
"Seth will protect me, won't you?" Seth nods vigorously, earning him a dirty look from Jacob.
"Seth doesn't have the authority that I have in the pack. He can't command them." Once again, he has a point. Damn you, Jacob Black.An hour later and we're standing in a queue outside the movie theatre that's in the middle of the bustling square. We're in silence once again, thanks to Jacob's awkward presence.
"What were you guys planning on watching anyway?"
"Blue Lagoon." Jacob lets out a deep chuckle. It's what I imagine rich dark chocolate slipping smoothly down his throat would sound like if it were a laugh. I can't help but capture a mental picture of how his canines poke out slightly when he smiles.
"That's a romance movie."
"Yeah, and?"
"You guys were going to watch a romance movie together?" he questions whilst wagging a finger between the two of us.
"For your information, yes, we were. Is that a problem?" He clears his throat slightly and straightens up.
"Of course not. Why would it be?"
"I don't know, you seemed so bothered about thirty seconds ago."
"I was just surprised, that's all. I didn't realise you and Seth were hanging out like that." I turn to face him and that stupid grin that he's wearing on his face again.
"What does that mean?"
"Well... this is a date, is it not?" What? Is that what he finds so funny? He thinks I wouldn't go for someone like Seth? I really hate it when people try to humiliate guys by acting like this.
"Actually, yes. It is a date." Jacob's mouth opens ever so slightly in shock before he catches himself and returns that stone-cold poker face. Seth looks practically winded.
"Y- you're serious?"
"Why not? Seth's a sweet guy with a charming kindness about him. What's not to like?" I glance over to see Seth blushing a deep rosy red and looking down at his shoes.
"Right...well, I better be going then. Don't want to interrupt your date." And with that, Jacob finally leaves. Seth moves closer to me with a big grin on his face.
"He's jealous, and he doesn't even know it."
"What are you talking about?" Jacob. Jealous? Of Seth? For going on a date with me? No. Certainly not. Jacob clearly hates my guts.
"You don't know what you're talking about man."𝐀/𝐍:𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫? 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭?
