Ooh, my first full-length Twilight one-shot. Fun, fun. It's Jacob x Bella, set sometime after Eclipse. It's nothing special, just something…normal, I guess.

And if you want to complain that it doesn't make sense, read the last line and it probably will.


"Hey, Bella!" Jacob called, waving as he spotted her walking toward him. "There you are."

Bella smiled. "Hey, Jake."

She stopped in front of him, and he took her hand, twining their fingers together as he playfully admonished, "You're late."

Bella scowled at him. "I do have things to do other than hanging out with wolves, Jake. God."

Jacob laughs and begins walking down the beach, gently pulling Bella along beside him. "Kidding, Bell. Come on, let's walk."

Bella nodded, and for a while that was all they did—they walked down the beach hand-in-hand, with the waves crashing on the nearby shore and the sun slowly sinking toward the horizon.

After a while, Jacob said, "Bella?"

"Hmm?"

"You know that I love you, right?"

They both stopped walking, and Bella turned to Jacob, her face expressionless. "Of course, Jacob," she replied quietly.

"Okay." Jacob nodded, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "I just wanted to be sure."

Bella laughed a little. "What's that supposed to mean? How could I not know that you love me, after all the times you've kissed me without my permission?"

Jacob laughed too. "Yeah, I guess…but sometimes I just need to know."

"Whatever makes you happy," Bella muttered, rolling her eyes.

They stood there for another few seconds, and then Jacob wrapped his arms around Bella, pulling her close.

"Aw, Jake!" Bella complained. "It's already warm out, and you're like an oven."

"Too bad," Jacob said with a chuckle, sliding his hand under Bella's chin and lifting it up. "You can live with a little heat, can't you?"

Before Bella could answer, Jacob leaned in and swiftly pressed his lips against hers. After only a few seconds, he pulled away.

"Well…" Bella grinned. "I guess maybe I could live with a little heat."

"All right, then."


At that moment, the phone rang, and Bella woke up, with Jacob's voice still echoing faintly in her ear.


Oh, tragedy.

At this point, I'd like to make a shameless plug and ask everyone to go read my Twilight drabble collection, "Sunlight and Clouds." It's made up of 100-word Twilight drabbles about various characters and pairings. There are currently two drabbles up, a Rosalie one and a Jacob x Bella one. I have no reviews on them yet, so please go read and review!

RRE.
