6: Set it Up

2 weeks later...

Jake had been picture-perfect over the last weeks, balancing the right amount of flirt and secretiveness. I had thought the plan would've been harder to execute but damn even I was convinced that he was into me. He came up to me earlier in the day while I was gathering berries and very publicly asked if I wanted to join him in a hunting party later on, I gave my giddy acceptance and he wrapped me in a hug. He spun me around so my feet lifted off the ground while I let out a giggle as he placed me back down. He poked my stomach teasingly before running away as I tried to catch him but failed. The other women that had been with Jake were drilling holes through me every time he was near, it was great. It added to the act.

Later on, Jake had come back by my canopy before we were to leave. "And the award goes to..." He goes taking fake bows around the room and making me laugh.

"Ha ha, Very funny," I grabbed his tail and squeezed as he coils over in fake pain. 

"Come on," I grabbed his arm and helped him up.

"Okay, are you ready?" He brushes off the dirt from his arm as he gets up.

"Yeah, let's go give 'em a show," I giggled and he was behind me squeezing my hips and pushing me forward out of the room, as the sunlight hit us, people took notice of where we were going. We were in formal hunting gear, and Jake had made us matching headpieces. Someone was committed to the act.

That night...

The hunt was a success and Jake took every opportunity to put on a show for the others he had invited to join us. Bumping his Ikran into mine, pretending to shoot me and even tackling me to try and steal my knives. Jake was addicting to spend time with, everything he did heated up my body even though I knew it was all a show. The way butterflies crept up on me when he smiled, or the way my face would flush when he whispered down by ear and my neck erupted in goosebumps.

We were sitting by one another at dinner, nibbling on our food when Jake kept grabbing off my plate to eat more. "If you want more go get more," I laughed bumping my shoulder into his as he smiled at me and shoved me back a bit.

"Nah, yours taste better," He said again reaching for another as I slapped his hand out of the way, and we laughed again. 

He placed his hand on my back and whispered into my ear, "Your parents are watching," He then pulled away and gave me another smile.

Taking the hint I turned up the heat and leaned against his shoulder, "I'm kinda cold," I said and then gave him a small look that said *wrap your arm around my waist and pull me into you before my parents get confused as to why you're not leaning into me.* He got the hint quickly and slid his hand from my lower back to my hip, and leaned his head on top of mine. 

Mo'at was looking at me with curious eyes, and I gave her an encouraging smile that said everything was fine. She smiled back at me. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, which is the longest I've heard Jake go without talking through this whole charade. I could feel his heart, and it was racing. It made my breath hitch when I realized he might have in fact been nervous, I then placed a hand on his chest and pushed against him making myself sit upright.

"Will you walk me home?" I asked him, I was searching his eyes.

He softly smiled, "Yeah, yeah, of course." He said and stood up, he reached down and offered me a hand to get up which I gladly took. I smiled at him in thanks as I walked over to my parents to let them know.

"I see you, mama," I said and gave my mom a warm hug.

"Be careful with this Jake Sully. You know who he is," Mama warned me kindly as she touched my face.
