I opened my eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the darkness before getting up. The clock read 6 am, so it was just a little before dawn. I gingerly moved Edward's arm from around my waist before climbing out of bed and heading towards the bathroom. I quickly turned on the shower and allowed the room to fog with steam before stepping in and letting the water jet's spray over me. Hmm…I closed my eyes and thoughts of the previous night filled my head, making me sigh in pleasure and frustration. I always felt like this after sleeping with Edward. No, 'sleeping' would be the nice term, it was more like fucking. I laughed bitterly before washing my hair. Edward had bought me shampoo, the kind that smelled like strawberries…something about the scent reminded him of springtime. I didn't mind and I would take anything I could get my hands on to wash the scent of Edward off me…the scent of desire. I finished washing up and turned the water off before toweling myself dry and reentering the bedroom. I folded up my skinny jeans, tank top, and set my stilettos to the side before throwing on a pair of loose fitting jeans and a sweater. I put on some moccasins and swept my hair up into a ponytail before heading towards the door. I took one last look back at Edward who slept soundly, barely covered by a thin sheet. My eyes slowly traveled downwards on their own before I grabbed my keys and my glasses. There's always time for that later. I did one last survey in the mirror and saw that everything was in check before leaving and climbing into my truck. Goodbye Edward, hello Jacob.
"Hey babe!"I smiled as I saw Bella walking towards me with a grocery bag in her hand. She smiled and I wrapped my arms around her waist before kissing her lips. "What happened? I woke up and you were gone." She held out the bag at her waist and laughed as she pushed her glasses back into place. "We were out of milk. I know how you like milk in your coffee Jake." "You didn't have to go out at 6 in the morning for it." I chuckled and took the bag out of her small hands. "Well I guess I really do have the best girl in the world, lucky me." She looked at me in the eyes as if she were trying to find the answer to something. "No, I'm the lucky one Jake."
I hated lying to Jacob. It was the worse feeling in the world. He couldn't even bring himself to believe that I would do anything to hurt him and he never questioned my actions. At first I thought he just didn't care, that he didn't want to see what was happening. But he was truly vulnerable, and his faith in me was so strong, like a child's. He had big dreams, wanted us to be the perfect family. And even though I knew things were far from perfect, I couldn't bring myself to crush his dreams. I was brought back to present time when he started snapping. "Hello…earth to Bella?" I blinked before looking back up at him. "I said I like this shampoo, what is it…strawberries?" I nodded and smiled, trying to force the thought of Edward into the back of my mind, along with my guilt. "Yea, I just used the last of it. Do you like it? I'll get some more if you do." He didn't reply and instead pulled me into a tight hug and we stayed there for awhile. It was times like this when I wish I didn't need Edward, that Jake could be enough. When it was just us and everything else stood still. It was times like this my guilt ate at my conscious like a parasite, and I could do nothing but hold him.
