Part Three
Ness pov
It was nice being home. Jacob and I had spent a lot of time together since the family had returned but no one else from my family had visited Jake or the pack. Jake was at work now, something I was getting used to, and I was at home. I hung out with my family while Jake worked then I spent most of the afternoons in La Push with Jake and the pack. My life in Forks easily returned to what it used to be and I couldn't be happier. The only thing bothering me was that Jake and I still hadn't talked about us. Tonight there was a bonfire and I hoped that we would talk then and sort things out. To say I was nervous was an understatement, I couldn't focus on anything the entire day. Once the bonfire finally arrived I was beyond excited to see everyone there.
"Hey Ness," Jake smiled and walked over to me once I got there.
"Hey Jake," I said and hugged him.
I spent the entire time glued to Jake's side and I had a lot of fun with the other imprints there. Once it started getting late everyone started packing up and leaving. I helped Emily with a few things then headed back to find Jake. It took me a few minutes but I found him.
"Hey Ness, want me to take you home?" He asked.
"Yeah but we need to talk first," I said.
"Talk? About what?" He asked looking slightly worried.
"Let's go for a walk?"
He nodded,"Sure Ness."
We walked in silence for a while but I could tell Jake was worried.
"Jake, calm down. Nothings wrong, not exactly. I just think we should talk."
He looked at me,"Okay Ness, what is it?" He asked as we sat down on the sand.
"I just think its time we talk about us," I said,"And figure things out."
"Oh right," he said.
"I guess I don't really know how to start but I think we're worth giving a try," I said.
He smiled at me,"You do?"
I nodded,"I didn't realize it until you were gone. I saw you as my best friend and nothing more but once you weren't there I noticed the little things you did that were more than just a friendship. Once I found out about the imprint I saw you differently. I could easily see how much you cared for me and slowly I started to have feelings for you Jake."
"You have feelings for me?" He asked, his eyes shining brightly.
"Yes." I nodded
"Be my girlfriend Ness," he blurted out really fast.
I was a little surprised at the word 'Girlfriend' and could only respond, "What?"
"Be mine, Ness," he said seriously and slowly.
"I-yes!" I said as the words sank in and I realized what he was saying.
A huge smile lit up his face and he wrapped his arms around me and started to spin us. I couldn't help as laughter filled the empty space around us. This was happiness, pure bliss. I had never in my years of living ever felt the joy that I felt at that very moment.
Jacob POV
She had said yes! She wanted to be my girlfriend, she wanted to be with me. After everything we'd gone through she wanted to give us a chance. I hadn't felt this happy in a while, a long while. After Ness and I talked about us being together we spent an hour or two sitting on the beach and talking. We talked about everything and nothing, there was nothing in this world I hoped for more than this. The feeling you get when someone has the same feelings for you that you do to them. When everything is new and wonderful. If Ness and I could make it through a broken imprint then we could make it through anything in this world. After that Ness and I went back to the Cullens house, holding hands.
-Two Years Later-
Jacob pov
It was two years to the day that Ness and I had began our relationship and a journey I would never forget. We slowly began to see each other differently and learn things as a couple. The past two years were the happiest of my life and I wanted nothing more except to live with that happiness for the rest of eternity. Things had been a little weird at first but only because we were not used to it. We moved in together a year after being together and things had gotten better each day.
I was startled out of my thoughts by Ness' voice.
"Jake? Jakeeeee? Jacobbb!" She said.
"Yes?" I asked
"You weren't listening!" She pouted.
"Whaat, no I was you were talking about the thing and the other thing and- okay I wasn't listening," I mumbled.
She raised an eyebrow at me and crossed her arms,"That's so rudee."
"Sorry babe, I'm listening now. You were saying?"
She huffed a little and ran her hands through her hair before sitting next to me on the couch,"I was saying happy anniversary Jacob Black."
"Aw. Happy anniversary Ness," I smiled and kissed her cheek.
"So what's the plan for today?" She asked.
"There's a game on and the guys are coming over to watch it,drink some beers. You know, the usual" I said.
"What?" She asked.
"There's a game on Ness," I said, slower this time.
"Is that all you plan to do?" She asked, watching me.
"Basically. Aren't you and the girls going out?" I asked.
"Yes but later in the afternoon," she said.
"Ohh. Well you can stay here with the guys and me," I said.
"No thanks, don't want to be a bother," she said and rolled her eyes.
"Aw Ness. Don't be mad," I said,"Heree. I made you breakfast!" I got up and went to the kitchen to get the special breakfast I'd made for her.
"You what?" She asked as she followed.
"Breakfast babe, I made you breakfast," I chuckled and handed her a plate with pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast.
"Waiit, I have to get your orange juice too," I said and filled a cup with orange juice then handed it to her.
"What about you?" She asked as she sat down at the island to eat.
"I kinda ate mine already...you slept for so long," I said sheepishly.
"Or you scarfed it down in two seconds," she said.
"Well that too," I agreed.
"Thanks for the breakfast Jake," she said as she gave me a bite of her pancakes.
"No, thank you," I smiled.
She shook her head at me and finished her breakfast, giving me small bites of it in between. It was simple moments like this that I treasured, moments where nothing else matter but the two of us.
Ness POV
"So he didn't do anything?" Emily asked as I told all of the girls about Jake and the boys watching the game today.
"He made me breakfast," I said.
"That's it?" Kim asked.
I nodded,"Yes."
"That's not like Jake," I said,"For our last anniversary we went on a trip and spent the whole day with each other. We had a simple dinner together, watched movies and he gave me a single rose," I said as I remembered our one year anniversary.
"Aw. I remember you talking about that," Emily said.
"Yeah it was really gre-" I was interrupted by my phone ringing. "Hold on," I told the girls and answered,"Hello?"
"Hey babe," Jakes voice came through.
"Hey Jake," I said still getting butterflies at the sound of his voice
"Could you do me a favor on your way back?" He asked.
"Sure what's up?"
"You mind getting some more chips and snacks for us? We're almost out," Jake said.
"Sure," I sighed a little.
"Thanks, see you later," he said and we hung up.
"What did he want?" Kim asked.
"Snacks," I said and got up,"I have to go to the store anyway so I'll see you guys later," I said.
I hugged them both and before I left Em stopped and said,"Don't let it get to you Ness. I doubt he's doing it on purpose."
I nodded and smiled,"Its actually not a big deal. I think that what's important is that we've been together for two years now and how we celebrate that shouldn't really matter as long as we love each other."
"That's a good way to look at it," she responded and I left. I took my sweet old time finding all the stuff we needed at home. Once I had everything I drove back home only to find that the house was dark. I was parked outside and decided to come back for the stuff after I figured out what was going on. I hadn't taken that long, the game couldn't be over yet. Plus Jake would have called.
I opened the door and cautiously walked in, turning the lights on. Nothing seemed out of place, everything was the way it had been this morning. Maybe they had gone to Sam's?
"Jake?" I called out.
"Up here Ness," I heard his voice from upstairs.
"Why are all the lights out? Everything okay?" I asked as I walked up.
"Yes," he answered as I opened the door to see Jake standing there with two roses in his hand, white petals and candles all over our room.
I gasped,"Jake."
"Happy Anniversary babe!" He grinned.
I grinned back and gave him a hug.
"What about the game?"
"There was no game I just wanted to surprise you," he smiled.
"That's sweet Jake," I smiled.
"I love you Ness, I'd do anything for you," he said.
"I love you too. I can't imagine not being with you," I said.
He smiled,"Neither could I."
Our love was so simple. In two years we had changed and adapted to the things life had thrown at us. That night as I lay in his arms I listened for the sound of his beating heart and I knew that it beat for me, for our love and for the promise of a future together. I could ask nothing more in life than Jake, he made me happy. It was because of him that I woke up with a huge smile on my face every morning.
The end.
I will not be doing an alternative ending, sorry guys but once I wrote this ending I liked the way it was. Maybe I'll use the alternative ending as a one shot later on or turn it into another story. As of right now I have no plans of doing another story.
