A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

“What should we do?” Embry asked.
Jacob swallowed. “I have to go talk to Ness. You two . . . I don’t know. Find something to do. Make
yourselves useful. Search the forest. Something.”
Just before he left the room, the phone rang. He thought about ignoring it. As he started to walk
away, Seth answered it.
“Jake?” He turned around. Seth held out the receiver. “It’s Ness.”
Jacob’s stomach plummeted as he took the phone. “Thanks. Hey, Ness.” The other two Shifters
left.
“Hi, Jacob.” Her voice was perky. It soothed his nerves, but only slightly. “How are you? Are you
busy?”
He cleared his throat. “No, actually, I’m not busy. I was just thinking about coming to see you.”
“That would be perfect. My uncle got called in to the museum today, so we won’t be out shooting.
I’m here alone.” She tried to sound sexy.
His hands tightened convulsively. “I’m on my way.”
“Okay. See you when you get here. I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
They hung up. Jacob took a few minutes to breathe before he left. As he ran through the woods, he
thought of different ways he could tell her. He just prayed she didn’t freak out the way he knew she
would. He had to make sure she knew he wasn’t going to hurt her. She might even need proof. He
doubted it, but he couldn’t tell her in a place that he couldn’t shift if she did.
He reached her house and shifted back to his human form, pulled on his shorts, and walked around
the house. The sun was shining; he wondered if he could use that to his advantage. He knocked on
the door and waited anxiously for her to answer. He breathed a sigh of relief when she finally did.
“Hi, Jake,” she said happily. “Come on in.” She stepped back.
He walked in and shut the door behind him before he pulled her into a tight hug. She wrapped her
arms around his shoulders and giggled when her feet left the ground.
“I missed you,” he explained.
She kissed his cheek. “I missed you, too.”
He set her back down. “It’s a beautiful day out, Ness. Why don’t we take a walk?” He had weighed
the risks and decided that it would be better all around to get everything out of the way at once.
He’d avoided it far too long.
She cocked her head to the side. “That sounds good. Are you okay?” He seemed tense.
