Simple Pleasure: Jacob Black Fan Fiction

Shush!

"Nothing." He knew perfectly well it was not nothing. He was talking about Bella. And Edward. And the bloodsuckers. And the werewolves. But he wouldn't, couldn't, tell her. He was healed, and nothing would bring that pain back. 

"You and I both know it's not nothing." Did it show on his face? Was it written on his forehead? 

"You can see right through me." He muttered. 

"You know it." She said, then paused. "Another time?" 

"Another time." He agreed greatfully. 

"It hurt you. You just got over it." She stated knowingly. 

He nodded numbly. 

"It's okay." She said and there was a moment of silence, before the loudest 
clash echoed through the entire house. She leaped from the bed, scrambled around, and clung to him once more. He enveloped her in his arms once more and tucked her face into his ribcage again. 

"Can you sleep?" He asked quietly. 

"I'll try. Thanks. . . again." She smiled sheepishly. 

"Don't mention it." He grinned back. 

They looked into eachothers eyes for a long moment, searching- unsure- longing. . . loving. One of those stares, her eyes moved around a littleF, once-over of his face, then she leaned up, stretching, and kissed his cheek- letting her lips linger for only a second. Then she pulled back, reluctantly it almost seemed, and he grinned wider. 

He touched the spot where she kissed, then happily turned over on his back, pulling her with him. So, maybe there was a chance. Maybe he wouldn't lose her, maybe the imprint was really working both ways. And, dare he say? 

Maybe she loved him too. 
JEAN'S POV 
She woke up to the sound of deep voices sniggering like little girls. Then last night's events flowed through her mind, then she felt them as well. She cracked her eyes open so only she could see, no one else. Yep, just what she thought. Her arms were still wrapped tightly around his stomach, her head leaning lazily against his chest, and her legs overlapping and entertwined with his. Gosh, this would be an awkward morning. And Embry, oh lord- Embry. And Paul. And Quill. And Jared. She'd never hear the end of it. 

Not ever. 

She cracked her eyes open again, and scanned the room. Jacob was still sleeping, but less snores. Maybe he was the one who didn't snore, out of the group. Then she saw the boys, huddled around the small bed, eyeing them suspiciously- humorously- joyfully. She finally gave up and yawned loudly, one that was threatening to escape her mouth for seconds now. 

"Shh- she's waking up-" One of them said, Embry. 

"Oho, this is gonna be fun." Another laughed, Quil. 

"Shut it," That was Jared. 

"Ow! I didn't say anything, it was Quil!" Paul. 

"You were closer, pass it on!" 

"Not that I didn't love this alarm clock when I was ten years old, but don't traditions grow old?" She finally jumped in. 

"Oh, hi Jean." Quil said smirking smugly. 

"'Morning. What time is it?" 
"'Bout eight-thirty." 

"Great." 

"So, how'd you sleep?" Paul said imitating Quil's smile. 

"Fine." She said plainly. Then she unwound herself from Jake, avoiding their eyes, and she stumbled over to her bag to fish out some clothes. She got out a pair of black capri sweatpants with white designs on the left hip, a white lacey tank-top, and a matching black sweatshirt. She crossed the room to go to the bathroom, brushed out her hair, and changed. 

JACOB'S POV 
He heard Jean's voice, and imediatly julted awake. He knew the guys would give her a hard time, but she was tough- she could handle it. And by what she was saying she definitly could. He felt himself being seperated from her, and it took alot of strength not to just pull her closer- but he wouldn't really like to pull that act with an audience. Not with the given crowd either. 

"We know you're awake, Jake." Jared said. 

"Yeah, yeah." He said waving a hand at them and getting up from the comfort of the bed. 

"So," Quil said smirking evily. 

"So, what?" He asked airily. 

"Don't act like nothing happened! Tell us!" Paul cracked. 

"Can't," He said simply. 

"What do you mean, you can't?" Embry repeated suspiciously, now he was going all big-brother on him. Greeeeat. 

"Nothing happened, I'm telling you. But I can't tell you the real reason." 

"Now Jake's all honest, what's with that?" Jared joked. 

"Not honest, just. . . loyal?" 

"That's a dog trait, you're in human form- let's have it." Quil said intently. 

"It's not just a dog trait. Look, I can't tell you so leave it alone." 

"Okay." Embry sighed. 

"Okay?! You're going to take that bull?!" Paul said loudly. 

"Shut up, she already suspects something!" He said shushing him.
