𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐁'𝐒 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄, Catherine held a tray of food in her hands with a nervous look on her face, and a bright blush on her cheeks.
Although that completely contrasted with Jacob who walked in with the proudest smirk on his face as he carried the rest of the food she'd made.
"Thank you, little Bun," Embry groaned as he stood from one of the crates, quick to rush and take the tray out of Catherine's hands. "thought I was gonna starve out here with these two."
The young man made sure to give her a large smile as he took the tray, he figured she'd cooked all the food so there was no need for her to carry it too.
"Yeah, wha-what took you guys so long?" Bella asked tilting her head as she sat up on her crate, before noticing the blush on Catherine's face.
At first, Bella believed it might have been the steam from the heat causing her face to burn up, but then she noticed the way her hair nearly completely covered her face.
"Speaking of why're you so quiet Bun-Bun?" Quil asked with a concerned look on his face, watching as Catherine moved back to her seat beside Bella.
"I just got in here, let me get comfortable again jeez." Catherine mumbled lightly as she sat down, the blush on her face growing darker as she thought back to what happened.
The way Jacob confessed his feelings for her in the kitchen, the way he held her, touched her, spoke, and groaned in her ear.
Every second she thought more about the way his hands caressed her body, the darker the blush on her face developed.
"Look who's being feisty." Quil said amused as he sat down by her leg with his food in his hands, which was politely given to him by Embry.
"Stop it," Jacob spoke rolling his eyes as he handed Bella and Catherine their food, although that proud smirk redeveloped for a moment as he looked Catherine in her eyes. "she just cooked you dinner, let her relax a little bit."
"Whatever you say," Quil said shrugging his shoulders as he got comfortable near Catherine's legs, before throwing a glance at her. "thank you for the food Bun-Bun."
"You're welcome, it was really no problem." Catherine said throwing the boy a small happy smile, as was said before she loved to help and do things for others.
It was what Bunny's liked to do, they cared for others.
"Oh My Fucking God," Embry groaned with a mouth full of food, staring at his chicken sandwich with astonishment in his eyes before he looked over at Catherine. "I've never tasted something so good."
"Jesus Christ Bun-Bun," Quil said with the same astonished look on his face, as he too had just taken a bite out of his food. "you are an amazing cook."
"Thank you." Catherine said with a small giggle as she too began eating her food, she knew how good her cooking was.
Jacob on the other hand was sitting in front of them with a large smirk on his face, listening to the guys compliment his girl, which brought a proud feeling to his chest.

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐁 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄, Catherine twirled her hair and couldn't keep still with a blush on her face, as this was the first time she'd be speaking to the boy alone since what happened.
And despite Bella being in the truck behind her, Catherine still felt nervous as she wanted to say something to the young man after he admitted how he felt to her.
"So," Catherine tried to start the conversation, despite the awkward atmosphere that surrounded them or at least surrounded her. "I was thinking about what you said earlier...about being in love with me."
Finishing off the beginning of her first sentence, Catherine glanced up trying to gauge his emotions based on his facial expression.
"did you mean it?" She asked still staring him directly in his eyes, trying to guess how he truly felt, but that didn't last long.
Hearing her words, Jacob was quick to take step forwards removing some of the space between them as he looked at her with a completely sincere look on his face.
"Every last word," He spoke determinedly as he gently grasped her hands, the young man trying to convey all his feelings through his touch and words. "I know I was a little forward in the way I told you, god why did I tell you like that."
Jacob was quick to contradict what he had done more to himself than to Catherine, a pained look came over his face as he realized he could have ruined their chance before they even had one.
"I do like you, Catherine," Jacob tried again to speak on his feelings, he didn't want her to think he just wanted her for her body or something. "I first realized it when I fell off the swings and you put a bandage on my knee and kissed it."
Hearing him bring that up, a warmth filled Catherine's chest as she truly did remember what had happened that day.
Bella had stayed home so she and Jacob were playing on the swing set, she jumped off, then Jacob tried to copy her and fell.
Which resulted in him scraping his knee, she felt so guilty and bad when he started to bleed, so she made sure to clean him up when they got back to her house.
"That was..." Catherine trailed off trying to remember how long ago that was, but the time kind of got lost deep within her head.
"12 years ago, you were 6 and I was 5," Jacob recounted the day, that riddled his mind every time he thought about Catherine over the years. "I remember everything about it, I've wanted to tell you since then but I never knew how."
"I-" Catherine hesitated as she glanced down at the ground, the girl trying to tie all of the emotions she was feeling together. "I like you too."
Frozen, for a moment Jacob couldn't do anything as he tried to hear the words leave the girl's mouth, Catherine almost thought he was lying.
Somehow he had lied and was making fun of her, that was until a large smile broke out over Jacob's face.
The boy was quick to grab a hold of the girl, lifting her in the air as he began to spin her around in the air causing the girl to giggle.
"Catherine, you don't know how happy those four words made me!" Jacob exclaimed as he spent around, his smile not falling as he listened to Catherine giggle and shout happily.
Slowly bringing the girl back to the ground, Jacob's face was starting to hurt from how large the smile on his face was.
"I don't know how I feel about being in the air," Catherine said as she finally sat back on the ground, the girl practically bouncing where she stood. "I'm not used to being up so high."
"If you agree to a date," Jacob said slyly as he looked at the girl, who was completely shocked as her head whipped around towards him. "I promise to never put you up so high again."
"A date?" Catherine asked secretly excited but physically in shock, she hadn't expected him to ask so quickly after they announced their feelings.
Although in her defense she had never had feelings with a guy that was as strong as the ones she had with Jacob, usually she only had a few one-night stands.
"Tomorrow," Jacob continued his words as he gave the girl a tight-lipped smile, he loved that shocked and excited look on Catherine's face. "I think Bella wouldn't mind if we missed one day of rebuilding."
With his words, Jacob shrugged his shoulders as he felt a date with Catherine was more important than some little scheme/deal with Bella.
Yes, he cared about them both as they all had grown up together, but he liked Catherine in a completely different way than he liked Bella.
"What are we going to do?" Catherine asked as she looked up at Jacob with large eyes, which were quick to convey her excited emotions.
Hearing her question, Jacob only glanced away whilst crossing his arms a teasing look on his face as he spoke once again.
"I want it to be surprising," Jacob said simply as he shrugged once again, his words causing a pout to come over Catherine's face. "just wear something comfy and cute as always."
"Okay, I can do that." Catherine said despite her pout, which was slowly receding as the excitement was too hard for her to hold back.
"I know you can," Jacob said chuckling at the girl's words, before leaning forwards and giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Catherine's eyes were quick to close as she felt his lips on the crown of her head, causing the girl to let out a soft sigh.
Something about the boy was just so calming to her, everything about him just sent her into tranquility and made her worries disappear.
"See you tomorrow," Catherine spoke softly as the two backed away from each other, causing Catherine to hesitate as she was about to be out of his personal space.
Nevertheless, the girl moved away from him, almost immediately missing the heat that seemed to just flow off of his body as she did so.
