Jacob Black - True Imprint by Jessley (the chimp paradox .TXT) 📖

the shower with me. He took the sponge and started washing my back.

“So where did the box come from last night?” I asked him curiously. “Nana and the embarrassing phone call when we arrived” he said. “What Nana packed it in?” I asked. “Yes, in her words, just in case” he said. “And the ring, how were you able to put it in when I packed everything?” I asked. “Nana” he said turning me to face him. “How did Nana know you were going to ask?” I said as I took the sponge from him and started washing his back. “I asked her permission quite a while ago, it was my mother’s ring, and Nana did me the favour and sent it to the jewellers to get it nice and cleaned up for you” he said. “Wow, it’s your mom’s ring, awe Jake, its beautiful” I said looking at the ring and then hugged him. “I love this ring and I love you” I said.

We got finished in the shower and Jake put a towel around his waist and I wrapped one around my body. “Are you gonna order us breakfast or what?” I asked running my finger down his perfect abs, teasing him. “No, not if you are going to do that!” he said picking me up and sped off to the room.

The box came in handy once again. I lay on Jacob’s chest, when his stomach let off a rumble. “Hungry?” I asked smiling. “Mmm, now I am after that workout” he smiled. We got up and got dressed and headed out the door to the restaurant and get some breakfast before we headed out for out boat trip on the yacht for the day. Jake ate himself full as usual, as he burns his food so much quicker.


Chapter 38

We made our way over to the harbour for the day, and boarded the yacht, we were no sooner out of the harbour when the captain had to turn back, it so happened that Jacob ended up getting sea sick. It was so hilarious watching him hang over the side of the boat getting sick.

Once we got off the boat he couldn’t stop apologising, but was happy to be back on solid ground. “I guess wolves prefer land to water?” I sniggered. “Hey not fair, I’ve never been out on a yacht before!” he said and ended up laughing with me. We heard some noises coming from the streets below the harbour and went to go and see what was going on; there was a small festival happening. I pulled out my small camera I brought along for our holiday and started happily snapping away.

Having so much fun I took loads of photos of Jake, Jake was laughing and so happy and every photo I took captured this. He tackled the camera away from me and took some shots of me as well. Every so now and then we would stop someone and ask them to take a photo of us.

The remaining of our stay flew by that our last day had arrived; we woke up early that morning and packed in our things with all the gifts we had bought. “Jake would you mind sorting out our bill at the front desk please” I asked. “How…?” he asked. “Your bank card Jake, here is your pin number” I said handing him his envelope that hand his bank card in it but now only had the pin number. “Bank card?” he said sounding confused. “Yes Jake in your wallet” I said as I continued packing up the last of our things, every so now and then I would glance down and look at my beautiful ring, and it was truly beautiful. “Oh, okay” he said, kissed me and left the room.

I doubled checked to see that we packed everything; there in the bin was the empty box and the place was nice and tidy.
I picked up my handbag and took the handles of our bags and wheeled them out of the room. Jake was still at the front counter when I arrived in the lobby. “Thank you Mr Black, oh and Miss Hawkes, we hoped you enjoyed your stay and we hope you come back for your honeymoon?” he joked. We thanked the manager for a fantastic time and the doorman called to announce our taxi had arrived. “Thank you” called Jake as he turned to me “ready” he asked taking a bag from me. “Yeah, I’m ready” I replied as he took my hand in his other hand and we left the hotel and got into the taxi.

The drive to the airport was a quiet one, I leaned my head on Jacob’s shoulder our handed entwined Jake’s thumb rubbed over my engagement ring absent-mindedly.

The flight home was quick, that we were no sooner through customs and Sam was waiting for us. He shook Jake’s hand and hugged me; “welcome back guys, I believe congratulations is in order?” he smiled taking my hand to look at my ring. “Very nice, Jake, you did well” he smiled at Jake. The guys were chatting as they put the bags in the car and I got into the back seat, as much fun as I had being alone with Jake, I was happy to be back at home, we both loved La Push.


Chapter 40

We were no sooner at home when the house started swarming with visitors, congratulating us on our engagement. Lots wanted to know if we have decided on a date yet, I then realised that Jake I never got to discuss our future plans really. I also never got to speak to him about my proposal / idea I had. Nana was eyeing Jake and my movements out most of the evening, she was very happy for us.

“Nana, we brought you a little something from Hawaii” I said pulling out a package from my bag, Jake then started giving everyone their little gifts we bought them. Nana thanked us for her gift and went to show it off to everyone.

Quil and Embry were the first to congratulate us. “Finally, it’s awesome, you’re gonna be our sister” said Quil swinging me around as I laughed. “Oh, but does that mean we don’t get our kisses anymore?” pouted Embry. “Awe guys don’t worry, you will still get your kisses” I said kissing them on the cheek. “Hey guys, that is my future wife you are begging kisses from” said Jake as he snaked his arm around my waist and kissing my head. “Don’t worry Jake, we will still share with you” replied Embry as they burst out laughing. Bella and Edward came along next and congratulated us. “I am happy to see you so happy now Jake” said Bella. “Congratulations to both of you” said Edward shaking hands with Jake and kissing me on the cheek and so the evening went on.

I saw Edward and Sam in a deep discussion with some of the other pack, but didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Finally the guests started leaving, that it was just the three of us left at home. I started yawing and bid them goodnight and went off to shower and when I got out I heard Nana and Jake chatting down stairs. I didn’t bother waiting up I was so tired I fell fast asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a bit anxious, but a warm pair of arms wrapped themselves around me, keeping me safe as I snuggled into his arms and went back to sleep.

The smell of breakfast cooking woke me up the next morning. “Mmm, that smells good, Nana’s home cooked meals missed them” Jake whispered. “Sure does smell good” I replied kissing him good morning. “Morning handsome” I said as I pulled the covers off. “Morning my fiancé” he said pulling me back down and kissing me. Now would be the best time to speak to him I thought. “Jake can I speak to you about something?” I asked turning to face him on one elbow. “Sure” he asked more awake now.

“Well, I’ve been thinking, I know how passionate you are about mechanics and working on car’s, bike’s etc” I said. “Yes” he replied eyeing me out. “Well you know how you said that you wouldn't be able to take full time employment because of your pack commitments?” I reminded him. “Yup” he said. “I was kinda thinking that maybe you should start your own business, open your own mechanical shop and maybe someone working with you" I tried to ease into it. But he didn't say anything.

"If you have your own company and if you have pack work to do you can come and go and you please. What do you think?” I asked. “Well that is a brilliant idea, only problem is finances, it costs a lot to get a company like that started” he stated.

“But we do have the finances remember?” I reminded him again. “No, Kayla, you have spent enough of your monies on me, I won’t allow you to put your money in such a huge investment like that, no!” he raised his voice. “But Jake it will be for both of us, please, its something you love to do, and we have the money” I suggested again. “No Kayla, you have the money, I don’t and I won’t take yours, and that is final!” he snapped at me getting out of bed.

He put his jeans on, his shoes and top. I could see he was angry, or more so upset. “Jake I saw the perfect place for you in town…” I was saying. “What, have you already started this on your own, you know what, I am not hungry any more, I think I will rather go home!” he snapped as he shook, clenching his fists he started for the door. “Jake please?” I asked with tears in my eyes. “No Kayla, I need to be left alone, I don’t want your money!” he said raising his voice making me shrink back “Technically it’s not my money” I whispered and then he was gone. I heard him say something to Nana and the door closed.

Nana was upstairs in no time. “What happened baby?” asked Nana and she came to sit by me and hold me as I was crying by this time. Through my tears I explained exactly what had happened and this was Jake’s response. “He says he doesn't want my money, so what am I supposed to do, feel bad every time I want to buy him something, because it’s from my money, it's not even my money, this is rubbish!” I vented. “Urgh, he is so pig headed and immature, we are bound together, it shouldn't matter whose money it is, it’s ours, and doesn’t he see that!” I said through gritted teeth, Nana just let me vent my anger out.

“Baby, he’s a man, he feels inferior because he should be the one who takes care of his woman, and not you take care of him. Jake just needs a bit of time, he will come around” she said stroking my curls. “If he feels so strongly about this whole playing the man part then he could always pay me the money back when the business takes off!” I vented again.

Jake’s POV:

I stormed into the house not paying any attention to my dad in the living room. “Whoa, hey Jake, what’s wrong?” called Billy. “Nothing!” I snapped. “That doesn’t look like nothing, is everything okay?” he said pointing to Jake’s shaking form and ripped jeans.

“What’s got you
