After we left my house we went to Sam's house, I mean our house and hanged out with each other for a while. Sam and I, then, decided to go and get ready for the Christmas party that she was getting ready to host. We then went to the car and decided to go to the store outside of Forks.
"So we have the decoration's ready all we have to do is just get something for them. That'll be easy." Sammy said. "Who are you inviting?" I asked her, lowering down the radio. "Well I'm inviting the pack. That is Sam and Emily, Leah, Seth, Paul, Quil, Embry, and Jared. Oh your dad, and you and me ." She said ticking them off on her fingers.
"So what are you going to get them?" I asked again. "We are going to get them something that they will like." Sam said emphasizing the word 'we' to me. "Why do you do that?" I asked her getting uncomfortable. "Do what?" She said. "When I say something that is yours you turn it around saying that it's ours. I don't know it feels wrong. Its your money its your house. I'm just staying with you." I said.
She sighed and smiled at me, "Jake, me and you are going to be together. Forever, I hope unless you count on having a premature death?" She turned to look at me and I gave her a quick shake she then looked back towards the road. "Good. Well if you haven't notice, imprinting is like marriage in a way. I know you may not see it as that. But that is baisically what it is. We are together and we'll always be there for each other. Ergo, what is mine is yours. That includes money and material things too, Jake." She said.
"But I still don't feel right. Its suppose to be that the guys provide for their lady, not the other way around. Atleast that was what I was taught." I said looking out my window. "Fine, then after all this vamp things that are dealing with Bella and the Cullen's we can go out and find you a job. I'm seriously considering putting you in a mechanic workshop," she threw her hand at me and quickly put it back on the wheel. "What makes you so sure that I want to be working in a mechanic workshop. I don't think they make enough money." I said. She knows me too good, she knows that I like working on cars and such. "Well you can open up your own mechanic shop and create your own money. The mechanic shop that's in Forks is really expensive. If you make your own and the price is cheap you'll be rich in no time. Just for the fact that everyone here in Forks needs a car fixing.
"That sounds like a really good idea! Thanks Sam. I love you so much babe!" I said leaning across my seat to give her a kiss on the cheek. She laughed at me and cleared her throat. "So where to, Mr. Black?" She said looking at me from the corner of her eyes. "We can try that store over there." I pointed to a store that looked like a deseant enough place for a Christmas gift. "Perfect," she smiled.
We went inside and started to look for things that the pack might like. Well, its more like Sam looked while I just held her things. In the end we bought a sweater and a coffee cup for Emily, a coffee cup for Sam, a book about medical terms for Leah- she's been studying medical terms since her father died of a heart attack before she turned into a wolf, a long sleeve shirt for Paul, a T-shirt for Seth, a sweatshirt for Quil, a light jacket for Jared, and a watch for my dad.
We then went to a little fastfood restaurant to get a sandwich, we then went home.
"Here, jake, give them to me and I'll go and put it in our closet." Sam said turning towards me as we entered the living room. I gave her the bags and closed the door. "Okay, I, um, have to go check on my dad. Can I borrow the car?" I asked her and with a sinking feeling I heard her groan and turned to me. "Jake, how many times do I have to say this? My car is your car. You don't have to ask." She said shaking her head at me and smiling that breath takingly smile which I always loved. "You'll have to say that until I get a job and help you pay for things." I laughed and kissed her on the lips.
As soon as I kissed her I couldn't help but deepen it a little bit. I pulled her closer to me letting my hands stay around her waist. I could tell she was surprised because I felt the shock in her lips. I smiled into the kiss and continued kissing her. I could taste her breathe it tasted of cherries and strawberries and... mint? I felt her hand that wasn't carrying the bags go to my chest. I felt her hand give me a little push away from her and she pulled away from me.
"Go, Jake, before it gets too late." She whispered. "I'll be back, I promise." I said and hugged her tightly to me. I then grabbed the keys from the bowl that was beside the door. I then shut the door carefully behind me and jogged towards the car. I then started it and drove to my dads house.
I parked in the driveway and jogged to the house. I knocked on the door and waited for a while. I saw my dad open the door and smiled. "Can I come in? It's kinda chilly out." I smiled. "Son, you don't have to ask. Now get in here." He laughed and rolled his chair back. I rolled my eyes and did as was told. I shut the door behind me quickly and walked after him.
"How's it going, Jake? Where's Sammy?" he asked me. "It's been going good. Uh, she's at the house. I'm trying to get her a present and I was sorta wondering if you can help me?" I asked rubbing the back of my head nervously.
"Sure thing son. What is it that your wanting to get her?" he asked me and I smiled sheepishly and sat down on the couch.
"I want to ask her to marry me this Christmas. Even though I am only seventeen I know that she is all that I want. Just for the fact that I love her and we're imprinted together." I said clasping my hands together and leaned forward onto my knees. "Wow Jake. Are you sure you want to ask her to marry you? I think you guys are going forward pretty fast." He asked me.
"She doesn't know anything about this. Matter of fact she thinks I'm just checking up on you. And I'm sure about this. I love her dad. I love her more then I love myself." I said, running my hand through my hair. My dad studied me and I was afraid that he was going to say 'no.'
After about two heart beats he said, "Okay. What do you need to get her the ring?"
"I was sorta kinda wondering if I could give her mom's ring?" I said not looking at him. He was quiet for a while and I snuck a peek at him. He was staring shocked at me and I thought I could see his eyes turn glassy.
"Dad?" I asked. "Jake, I'm so happy you said that! Give her your mother's ring. I'm so proud of you son. Of course you can give her your mother's ring. Here you go." He said pulling out a chain with a ring on it. It was my moms ring.
"You kept that on you this whole time?" I asked incrudeously. "Ever since your mom died. I did. Now it's yours." He unclipped the ring from the chain and held it in his outstretched hand. I got up from the chair and took step towards him. "Thanks, dad. You don't know how much this means to me, I'm just happy that you're okay with this." I said to him and gave him a hug.
"I think we aren't as happy as your mother is right now, Jake." He said to me with a sad smile. "I miss her too." I said.
"Well just keep her safe, Jake. I'm going to go take a nap. I'll see you soon." He said rolling away towards his room. "Dad before I leave, I just want to say this. You are invited to spend Christmas with us. Sam is hosting a party on Christmas Eve and you are going dad. She won't take no for an answer and neither will I. Oh, and if you need anything, you know food, laundry, or anyone to talk to. We are just a phone call away." I said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I know that, Jacob. I know. But I don't want an old man like me ruining your youth together." He smiled at me sadly. "Dad, don't you ever say that. Sam and I love you too much to not care for you. We'll be here and don't hesitate to ask for us. Love you dad." I said and waved before heading towards the car and stowing the ring in my pocket.
I drove back home after meeting up with my dad. I parked the car in the driveway and headed up the porch towards the house. I opened the door to smell something wonderful wafting out of the kitchen.
"Babe, this smells awesome." I smiled at her as I saw her working in the kitchen. "Really? Thanks." Sam smiled her smile that was always so breath taking.
"What are you cooking?" I asked. "Pot roast," was her reply. "Tomorrow I gotta go and get the turkey, Emily is getting the ham. I have a lot of things to do. And it is only the 23!" She cried growing frustrated.
"Hey calm down Sammy, it'll be alright. All you have to do is just get the food ready. I can help you with that." I went to her and rubbed her back. "Yeah but I still have to wrap the presents." She said goaning. "I can help you with that too." I said pulling her in my arms and resting my chin ontop of her head. "Okay, then. So how's your dad?" She said smiling at me.
"He's doing good. I had to ask him something and stuff." I said.
"What did you ask him?" She asked. "Nothing. I, its nothing." I said. "Oh, kay?" She said smiling confusedly at me. "So I gotta let this thing simmer for an hour. So what do you want to do?" She asked me giving a mischevious smile.
"I could think of a few things." I said pulling her closer to me.
"I don't think so Jake." Sam said pulling away a little bit. "Fine, what do you propose we can do?" I asked pouting a little. "Don't be a pouter, Jake. But we can wrap the presents. I have some wrapping paper in the coat closet over there." She pointed behind me and I went to go get it.
"Here, let me go and get the things. Where are they?" I asked and I saw her quickly get up. "NO! I-I got it." She blushed slightly and I backed away. "Don't need to be so touchy." I laughed and she stuck her tongue out at me. "Don't temp me." I said back.
A minute later she came back with the things. "Here I also got the tape." She dropped the things infront of us on the kitchen table. I rolled my eyes at her and reached for the things.
In a flash the Christmas party came and Sam was like a mini tornado leaving cleanliness in her wake. "Jake make sure you put on something nice." She threw over her shoulder as she was racing around the living room straightening already straighten couches. "I did!" I said shocked. I looked down and saw what I was wearing.
I put on some jeans and a nice Christmassy shirt. The shirt was red with the words "kiss me" in green under a mistle toe. I looked in the mirror in Sam and my bedroom. My hair was combed and not all bed head.
She looked at me and blushed slightly. "I'm sorry." She said before going about the house again. I rolled my eyes and went after her. I was behind her and picked her up by her waist and carried her to our bedroom I set her on the bed and looked at her. "Samantha, listen the house is clean all you have to do is get dress. Although I love your pjs." I smirked at her. She looked down and smiled at me. She then got on to her knees so that she could see eye to eye to me. "You like what you see?" She said and I nodded.
My eyes kept on straying to her lips and I noticed that they were smiling. "My eyes are up here Jake." She laughed and I looked into her eyes and I notice they were shining. "I love you Sam." I said to her. "I love you to Jake." She said pulling me to her and I crashed my lips onto her.
It was all I could do to not fall ontop of her. I felt her arms go around my neck and I put mine around her waist. I pulled her to me and she smiled. I then set her down and pulled away. "Come on you have to get your proper clothes on." I laughed at her pouting face.
"We can finish this later." I fingered her face lovingly.
"Okay!" She said and gave me a kiss so quick that I didn't have time to kiss her back. "Just hurry up." I said and walked out the room and waited in the living room. She was out in about fifteen minutes and she looked absouletly stunning. She had jeans that had light tears in it. She had a shirt that was white and hanged off her shoulder. I could tell that she was wearing a black tanktop underneath it. Her hair was all curly and put into a pony tail that was on one side.
"You make me look undressy." I sighed and looked down at my clothes. She laughed and came over to me and kissed me. I couldn't help but bring her closer to me. "Okay, Jake." She whispered against my lips. "Sorry," I replied huskily. She laughed and fingered my lips lovingly. The door rang and Sam looked at me. "I'll get that and you go and get the turkey out of the oven, please?" She said to me and I saluted and walked away.
"Hey!" Sam exclaimed. I heard a chorus of 'heys' and 'wows' coming from the living room and after I got the turkey and some of the things on the table I went out to join her. I saw my dad in the living room as with the rest of the pack and when they saw me they all said hey.
"Nice to see you guys, too." I laughed.
After about three hours the crowd started dispersing. "Thanks you guys for coming." Sam called waving to the friends and family. My dad was staying with us and I took him to our guest room. "You did it yet, Jake?" He asked me once we were in the room. "Nope, not yet." I shook my head.
"When are you going to do it?" He asked.
"Tomorrow," was my answer.
"What are you doing tomorrow Jake?" Came a voice behind me. She scared us so much that both my dad and I jumped in the air.
"Jeesh, Sam! Don't scare me like that." I said clutching my heart dramatically. She laughed and replied, "sorry."
"So what are going to do tomorrow?" She said cocking her head to the side. "Nothing," we said to her. "Fine," she rolled her eyes at me and my dad. "Good night, Billy." She said and walked out of the bedroom. "Night dad." I said to him. "Take care, son." He said and I shut the door behind him.
The next morning I kissed Sam good morning. Her eyes flutter and it was like she was seven again. "Christmas!" She shouted and jumped out of bed and up to me. "Merry Christmas, Jake!" She kissed me. "Merry Christmas, Samantha." I said pulling her towards me into a hug.
"Merry Christmas kids." My dad said to us. "Merry Christmas." We said back. "You ready to open some Christmas presents, kids?" He asked us and we both nodded our heads vigorously. "Good, lets go!" He said and wheeled himself towards the living room. We were laughing and I held onto her as we walked towards the tree. My dad settled himself beside the fire place. I rolled my eyes at Sam's eagerness.
"Here you go dad." I said tossing our present to him. "Thanks, here is your guys." He said, tossing to us each a present. "Thanks," we said together. "Here you go, Jake." Sam said giving me a small package. I smiled at her and opened it. It was a watch. She opened the present from dad and it was a photo frame of all us three smiling. I opened my present from my dad, it was a dog tag with a picture of me and Sam that my dad took. "Thanks dad and thanks Sam." I said.
"No problem. Thanks Billy." She replied. "Your welcome. Thanks for the watch. Jake aren't you going to give Sam her present?" He asked me and Sam gave me a look of confusion.
"Thanks dad." I muttered. "Sam can you come with me outside?" I asked her. "Okay?" She said.
"Aren't you guys going to put on a coat?" My dad asked again. "We'll be right back, dad." I said exasperated. "Okay, just checking. Go on now." He said.
I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed Sam by the hand and lead her out the house on to the porch.
"Sam I love you so much, I don't think I can live a day without you. I want to wake up every morning to you. To see your smile everyday. To come home to when I had a horrible day. And to eat dinner with you every night. I want to have a family with you. The point I'm trying to make is that..." I said getting down on one knee and grabbed the ring out of my pajama pants pocket.
I heard her intake of breath and saw her eyes swimming in unshed tears. "Will you Samantha Uley marry me?" I asked her. I saw a tear shed and she smiled and nodded her head having her bed curls bouncing around her face. "Yes," she said. "Really?" I said getting up from my knee to hold her, smiling. "Really." She said crying tears. "Why are you crying?" I asked her. "Because I'm happy." She said.
I laughed and put the ring on her. "We're going to get married!" I shouted out. She laughed and I pulled her in a hug. We walked back inside. "What did she say?" He asked. "Yes!" I shouted out. "How did I know she was going to say that?" He asked sarcastically.
Yup today's been a great Christmas already.
