This story takes place after New Moon, and if you think it's too mushy, don't be fooled… conflict will ensue!
Jacob's finger lingered at the back of my neck… I shivered. Maybe his touch couldn't compete with Edward's, but it was a close second. I paused for a second, sensing his tall frame hover behind me. His lips met the sensitive area on my neck just below my ear briefly, warm compared to the cool air and sending chills down my back. "I'll come by later tonight, all right?" he asked, nonchalantly I might add, slipping his hand off my waist. I turned to answer, my emotions caught in my throat, but he had disappeared already. I sighed. College was hard enough to adjust to without dealing with a werewolf boyfriend.
I walked into my dorm room, threw my bag on the ground and flopped myself on the bed. I rubbed my hands through my hair, letting my thoughts flow out. It had been almost a year since I had finished with Edward- for good. And the romance with Jacob had come so easy… he was kind, romantic, and physically there were no boundaries as there had been with Edward and me.
My desk clock said 7:20 P.M. I rolled off the bed, frustrated with myself for wasting time by dwelling on the past. I was no longer weak, insecure Bella. I was independent, and ready to do what was best for me. And at this moment it meant getting ready for the winter formal, which I was going to with Jake.
After I had jumped into the shower, applied makeup, and straightened my hair, I slipped into the silky black dress I had bought with Danielle- my new smart college friend- over my hips. I tied the silk ribbons on the side and slipped into my four and half inch silver pumps. I admired myself in the mirror- I looked hot, and I was being modest. I was about to clasp my opal necklace when there was a light knock on my door, followed by the entrance of Jacob into my room. I held my breath as he strode in, his eyes widening at my appearance. He looked gorgeous in a dark black suit, and the deep green tie he had chosen perfectly complimented his eye color. He wrapped his arms around me. "I guess you approve of my dress?" I asked him.
He raised his eyebrows. "I approve of everything about you," he said, before kissing me swiftly. I pulled my lips away from his. He licked the bottom of his lip.
"You animal…" he grinned, and leaned into kiss me again. "We can't be late..." I pleaded, as he smirked. "Can you fasten my necklace for me?" He grinned and clasped the silver chain around the back of my neck, giving it a quick kiss, then grabbing my hand and leading me out of my room.
Jacob and I held hands as we walked to the auditorium, where the dance was being held. I waved across the grass to Danielle and her date Jordan, who was another of my friends. It was good to have some people to hang out besides Jacob, since he had things on his mind other than school.. if you know what I mean.
As he led me into the large room, I felt a surge of excitement. It wasn't often where I got to do something normal with Jacob- and I was planning to enjoy the hours of dancing and laughing that were going to ensue.
I ignored the envious glares of the girls without dates as I slipped my hands up his shoulders- a task that would have been quite hard without my heels since Jacob had managed to grow another few inches- which made him 6'7''. He smiled down at me, and I enjoyed his scent (spicy and reminiscent of evergreen trees) and his body warmth. Everything was going perfectly, the dance got crowded, loud, and energetic, and we danced for what seemed like hours.
And then I thought I saw a pair of amber eyes watching us from the shadows of the dark room. I sharply inhaled. Jacob looked down at me. "Is something wrong?" he asked, as he looked concerned. I tried to calm my fluttering heart.
Wouldn't Jacob have smelled Edward if he were here?
