"Softie!" Jacob said as we slowly followed Mike who was on his way to throw up. Maybe it had been a bad idea to watch a gory action movie! "You and him aren't an item, are you? He's much too soft for my tough Bella!"
"He's just a mate." I mumbled. I hated how much Jacob liked me, I was still broken up after Edward had left just 6 months before. I had no doubt that I loved Jacob but Edward was the love of my life…right?
"Good." He loosely held my hand with a smug look on his face.
"Jacob, don't do this." I teased my hand out of his, knowing his intentions.
"Why, bella?"
"Because I don't want to hurt you. I'm not over Edward, you know that." I turned away, not wanting to see what I had said sink in.
But as I began to walk towards the illuminated door, I felt Jacob brush his hand along the back of my arm.
"Jacob, I think you should go home."
"No. I know you're broken hearted, I get it. But you are the only girl I have ever loved, I am not letting you go. You can learn to love me if you don't already. I can treat you how you deserve to be treated! Like a princess! Being with me will be as easy as breathing. I can kiss you without the fear of hurting you, I can hold your hand without fearing that I will squeeze you too hard, I can be around you in the sun!" He spoke with such honesty, I knew he meant every single word.
I stroked his beautiful face with the back of my hand. "I love you."
Standing on my tip-toes, I lightly placed a kiss on his dark-pink, pouted lips. Automatically, his arms slipped around my waist, pulling me further into the sweet embrace which was making my head spin. All thoughts of my ex-boyfriend slipped out of my mind, all I could think about was the handsome guy who's lips were greatly pleasuring mine with careful massages. I really did love him, I always had, but could it last? Did I love him more than Edward?
