Ch. 5-
Jacob's POV
I swerved to the right to get out of the way of the car and stopped and looked behind me. The car was swerving all over the road. I drove back to my house being careful and as soon as I walked in the door and called my baby.
"Hello?" She sounded like she just woke up.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up I just want to tell you that I'm home and was saved by a guardian angel on the way home"
"Why what happened?!"
"A drunk driver missed my car by inches."
"Oh my God Jake are you ok?"
"Yes baby I'm fine, I'm home and I just wanted to tell you I love you before you went to bed."
"Well I love you too and you better tell that angel thank you tonight"
"Oh I will and I will tell her to watch out for you too"
"Ok honey love you"
"Love you too"
I hung up the phone and went and took a shower. As soon as I got out I laid down in bed fell asleep fast.
1 year later
Leah and I were unlocking the door to our vacation house in the Outer Banks. We were vacationing with another couple, Erica and RJ our best friends. They were pulling in behind us and we were carrying our stuff up the steps. We got to our room and Leah dropped her bags and threw herself on the bed. I went over and laid down on my back neck to her. She curled up against me using my chest as her pillow. RJ and Erica walked past the door and RJ yelled into our room.
"We have been here for thirty seconds and you two are already sleeping?"
"Yeah! Shut up and go in your room and sleep!" I yelled in response. We all ended up falling asleep for about two hours. Then I got up and went out on our deck and just sat there watching the sun setting over the beautifully blue waters. I was listening to the subtle sound of the waves colliding with the soft sands of the beach. I closed my eyes and just took in all of it, the beautiful sounds, the feeling of utter calmness, and the smell of the salty waters.
I heard the sliding glass door glide open and then the gently feeling of supple hands run of my shoulders and down my chest. I feel a tender kiss fall upon my neck. I turn to see the striking brown eyes of the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I kissed her softly on the lips and then pulled her around onto my lap. She sat down and rested her head on my shoulder. I kiss her forehead again. We sit there not saying anything to each other. It's like we know that we both want to enjoy the peacefulness of the atmosphere around us. This is in fact all ruined by the loud and crazy thing I call my friend. RJ comes bursting through the door and practically throws Leah on the ground. He lifts her from on top of me just to replace her with his own body. Sitting on my lap he puts his arms around me and bats his eye lashes at me.
"Sugar can we please oh please," he says in a girly voice. "Get some grub!" dropping his voice at least four octaves lower then his usual voice. We all laugh and I heave him off of me and stand up. I go over to Leah and wrap my arms around her waist from behind and kiss her neck.
"I love you"
"I love you too" She kisses me right on the lips. Erica comes walking out of the door and goes over to RJ and he pulls her into his arms and kisses her too. RJ and Erica may fight a lot some times but they really do love each other. We all smile at each other and then we decide what we are doing for the night. We decide that the girls are going to take RJ's Jeep and go shopping and we are going to take my truck and go drinking. We got and change out of our traveling clothes and then part ways. I kiss Leah one last time before getting in my truck.
"I love you and please be careful" she says to me with nothing but worry in her eyes.
"Leah I will be fine"
"Jake just please" I go over to her and pulled her into my arms.
"Leah I promise you with all of my heart that I will be careful tonight, I love you" I tell her reassuringly.
"I love you too, call me before you leave the bar"
"Ok babe" I say climbing into my truck. I watch her get into the topless Jeep. She is driving and I imagine that I will be hearing about how now she wants a Jeep as soon as she gets back from this little shopping trip. RJ and I made it to the bar about twenty minutes later and we sat down and ordered a pitcher of beer and some wings. We start to eat them and they are really good.
Four pitchers of beer for each of us and a bucket of wings for each of us, we are extremely hammered. We were on our way out when we saw a tattoo parlor. We go in and it looks pretty awesome and they do piercing.
"Dude I am so getting my ear pierced!" I say to RJ, "Let's both get it done."
"No dude I am so ok with not getting that done, Erica will kill me!"
"I'm getting it done!"
"Dude you better call Leah, she will beat your ass" he says in the middle of a laugh.
"Fine," I pull out my phone and call Leah. She picks up within the first couple of rings.
"Hey Babe"
"Hi Jake, how is the bar?"
"Well baby I was calling to see if you would care if I got my ear pierced?"
"Jacob Black, so help me God if you get your freaking ear pierced I will make you die a slow and painful death!"
"Babe chill out it's just a hole"
"Just a hole? Really? Then get it done, see what happens" She said with a horrible tone to her voice.
"Fine I won't, I will see you back at the house"
"Promise you won't?"
"Promise"
"Ok Bye I love you be careful"
"Ok I love you too" We hang up and I look at the guy behind the counter, "I would like to get my ear pierced please"
"Dude what about Leah, we heard her on the phone." RJ says hitting my in the arm.
"She will get over it"
"Ok you can come back to my chair" the guy says walking over to a spinning chair with a counter in front of it. He starts to unwrap all the things I assume he will need. I sit down in the chair and he puts the gun up to my left ear.
"You are sure you want this?" RJ says right before the guy pulls the trigger.
"Yep" I say as he pierces my ear. It doesn't really hurt but my ear gets really warm. The guys starts to clean it and hands me the stuff I will need to clean my ear with.
"It might be a little sore for a few days but it's all good to go." He says as I pay.
"Thanks" We walk out and I feel like a new man. We go back to my truck and I start to drive us back to the beach house. We get there and the girls are already home and all the lights are off. I quietly work my way up the stairs. I open the door and go in and the girls are in bed. I sneak into mine and Leah's bedroom and she is laying in the bed. She starts to get up but I stop her, "No lay down, I'm just going to climb into bed after I pee and take off my jeans and t-shirt."
"Ok, so did you boys have a good time?"
"Yeah it was fun, you guys will have to go back there with us, their wings were really good."
"Well I'm glad you had fun, what was the ear thing about?" She said with a slight nerves laugh.
"I don't know"
"Ok well I was worried and I knew that you wouldn't do it if I didn't like it" she said as I was looking at it in the mirror. I went into bed and curled up with her. She started to gently plant kisses along my neck and up. She is kissing me and I am so distacted that when she gets to my ear I don't even notice. She doesn't seem to either but then she kisses it and then jerks back.
"Ow I cut my lip" she presses her lip and it's bleeding. "Jake please tell me I did not just cut my lip on an earring!"
"I'm…sorry?"
"Jacob Black!!!" She get up from on top of me and turns on the light. That's when I get a good look at her and she has a new purple see through lacey little number on. I groan and she grabs a cotton robe and wraps it around herself. She walks out of the room.
"Baby please wait, I'm sorry!"
"No I told you not to do it and you did it! I can't believe you Jake, you promised me!" She is crying now. I follow her out onto the deck and sit down next to her.
"I'm sorry baby, I didn't think you would be this upset." I said putting my arm around her. She pushed my arm off and got up.
"Jake I just can't believe you did that." She went back in the house and went in our bedroom. She slammed the door in my face and locked it. I walked around the house to get in through the sliding glass door in our room and just as I was getting to it she was locking the door.
"Baby please, I'm sorry" I said as she closed the curtain. I went back in the house and went over to the bedroom door.
"Leah please, I'm seriously sorry" I hear her crying through the door. I knock on the door and beg some more. She opens the door and throws my pillow out the door.
"Please, I'm sorry"
"No, because you know what, I didn't tell you not to get it because I don't like the way it looks I said it because my dad and Sam both have one. They have hurt me so bad Jake and just that little reminder of them is enough to hurt me so much." She slams the door in my face and I feel like the worst boyfriend ever. I pick up my pillow and go lay on the couch. I deserve to sleep on the couch. If I would have known I wouldn't have done it. I should have just listened to her and not done it. I lay on the couch but don't sleep at all that night. I can hear Leah's crying for a long time and with every tear that she sheds the worse I feel.
I sit up when RJ and Erica come out of their room in the morning. "One night here and you are already on the couch?" Erica says with a smile and I hug.
"How is she doing, RJ told me all about the ear thing." She asks looking back at the door.
"I don't know, I feel so horrible, she said the earring reminds her of Sam and her dad. They have hurt her so much I can't believe that I would do something to make the pain worse. I wanted to be the one to make it better not worse."
"I know, it will be ok let me go talk to her." Erica walks over to the door and knocks on it.
"Jake I don't want to talk to you!" Leah says from inside.
"Honey it's me" Leah opens the door for Erica and Erica goes in. About an hour later Erica emerges from the room. I'm sitting at the kitchen table and she comes and sits down next to me.
"Jake she is still upset but she wants to talk to you" I get up, grab the breakfast I made for her and go and knock on the door.
"Baby it's me" She opens the door and I go in. She is sitting on the floor leaning against the bed. I set the breakfast beside her and sit down.
"Leah I am so sorry, I didn't know that it was like that. I should have just listened to you, I'm sorry."
"It's ok" she says calmly.
"What?"
"I said it's ok, there are bigger things to worry about then that."
"Well I took it out and what bigger things?"
"Jake I'm late" She says still extremely calm.
"Oh" Was all I could manage out.
