"Bell, are you sure you really want to go tonight?" Edward asked as she grabbed her bag and truck key off the table next to the couch. "We could go over to my house and listen to music instead."

"Ugh!" groaned Bella. " That is all we do lately."

" Fine.' He slowly started to move toward her. He flashed her favorite half grin and then leaped at her forcing her down onto the couch. "We could do something else instead."

She giggled and tried to push him off but he held her tightly to him.

"Edward get off of me! I told you, I have been wanting to go see Jacob for a long time now. It seems like forever since I last saw him. You know he is my best friend."

"Yes I know, and I understand but I still do not like having you away from me for even a minute let alone two whole hours." He said and then lightly he brushed his lips against her warm cheek. Then moved to plant his lips softly on hers.

They stayed this way for a few minutes and when Edward broke the embrace he asked "Now what do you want to do?"

Bella sighed, "I want to drive down to La Push and see Jacob." she said firmly.

"Fine, but at least let me ride with you down to the border? I do not want to leave you just yet."

"Sounds good to me." She gave him a quick smile and together they walked out side to her rust old truck.

"I really wish you just let me buy you a new car already." Edward said for about the hundredth time as he opened her door for her. "This thing looks like it is almost as old as me." he said jokingly.

She glared at him for a moment and then smiled. She hated it when he picked on her truck. It was true the truck was old but it had character. " I have told you, you are not buying me a new car. Plus I love my truck." She turned the key in the ignition and backed out of the driveway.

Halfway to the border, Edward looked at Bella and asked her " What are thinking?" He asked her this a lot lately. She assumed it was bothering him that he could not read her thoughts as he could other peoples'.

She looked at him, " Well, I was just thinking about what Jacob and I were going to do tonight. It has been a long time since I have seen him."

He looked thoughtful but seemed to accept that was truly what she was thinking about.

They were approaching the border quickly now so Bella pulled the truck over.

"Have fun tonight and call me when you want to leave. I will be here to ride home with you." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and was gone.

Bella took a deep breath and continued on her way to Jacobs house.
