Chapter 2: The Party (Part 1)

Edward and I pulled up in the drive way to an angry Jacob standing with his fist balled. "Bella love, I am going to leave now before I do something that will make you upset". Edward said. As Bella gets out of the car, she leans in and gently touches her lips against Edwards, and told him "that is fine Edward I will see you at 5:30pm sharp". As Edward drove off Bella had her back turned to watch him disappear around the corner, and then focused her attention on Jacob, who now had a smile on his face.

"Jacob what brings you here".

"Come on Bells it is your birthday, do you honestly believe I would leave my girl hanging like that"

"First of all Jacob I am not your girl, and secondly I told everyone no gift", Bella said with a slight aggravation.

"No Bella you said you don't want anyone spending money and you really don't have to worry about that from me because, I don't have money like your leech of a boyfriend".

"Jacob I told you not to call him that", Bella turned and stormed toward the house. Jacob caught her by the arm and hugged her close and began to apologize, "Bella I'm sorry, but you know that my feelings have not change for you, and what ever you say I still do not trust them, they are dangerous and the sooner you realize that, the sooner the better". Bella pulled away from Jacob and went to the front door, and then turned and asked "Is that why you came to insult my boyfriend or did you come for a reason"? Jacob pulled a small red draw bag from his pocket, and handed it to Bella. She opened it and gasped!

"It took me a real long time to make that, I thought since I don't get to see you as much as I like this will sort of remind you of me".

Bella pulled out a hand-carved Figurine of a wolf, made from red wood that match Jacob's reddish skin tone. The detailing on the statue was undeniably very detailed, you would of thought that it was bought from a store that specialized in sculptors.

Bella turn the statue over and it read:

To the one love I have found and my dearest best friend Bella on her 18th Birthday, love Jacob Black.

Although the statue was breath taking Bella still could not help but be aggravated by the term my one love. She had told Jacob many times before she only saw him as a friend and nothing more, but Jacob just insisted that her judgment was being clouded by the bloodsuckers, and that he will wait for her to realize that she loves him to. Bella knew Jacob would not leave that matter alone, so she opt to limit her visits to La Push to see Jacob, so as not to imply more meaning. Bella had a love for Jacob but in a brotherly type of way, and because of this she was willing to compromise to keep him as a friend in her own way, rather than cutting him completely loose.

"Jacob it is beautiful, how did you learn to do this?"

"Awe it was nothing, Billy can do way better than me, but it is something that has been passed down within the Quileute tribe. So do you really like it Bells? I mean I know it is not a diamond or car or anything, but do you honestly like it?"

"Of course I do Jacob, thank you"

"You're welcome Bells".

"Jacob would you like to come inside, because we have been standing here for an hour here and I really would like to sit down"

"Would love to, but can't I did not know that it was that late, I promised Sam that I would get back for patrol tonight". Jacob leaned down and hugged Bella and told her not to be a stranger, she agreed she would not be and went inside. Bella knew Charlie would be home soon and had to get dinner started. After dinner was started she cleaned up a little and went upstairs to check her emails. As usual there were some in her inbox; all of them were from Renee her mother, wishing her a Happy Birthday. Bella decided to call her mother than respond via email. The conversation with Renee did not last long because she was on her way to a baseball game for Phil, but she told Bella that she had wired her some spending money to do as will with. Bella was happy for that and would add that to her small but growing bank account.

A few minutes later Charlie walked through the door and called for Bella.

"Yeah dad I will be right down"

" Hey kiddo, Happy Birthday baby", Charlie handed Bella a pre-paid credit card, since he was not much of a shopper and had no clue what Bella would like, he felt this would be acceptable.

"Thanks Dad you really should not have"

"Bella, I know it is not much but sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough for you and your needs, at least humor me and buy a nice outfit or something, at least I can say I took you shopping". Charlie smiled like he accomplished something for a change.

"Dad what ever you say, but you have given me everything that I needed, you are the best father ever", she smiled and hugged him.

"By the way Bella do you have your stuff packed for tonight?" Bella turned to Charlie with a confused look.

"Don't worry Bella, Esme Cullen called me at work and told me that the girls have something special planned for you, and it is a Friday so enjoy your birthday sweetie". Bella did not argue with that because she was always excited to be with the Cullens, and was curious as to why she was being springed for the night. Charlie stated that Alice will be picking me up at 5pm, so I needed to get ready. As I turned to head for the stairs I yelled to Charlie that dinner in the oven. I walked up the stairs, wondering why Alice was coming and not Edward. I walked into my room and for the first time that day I notice an outfit on my head with a box and a note on top.

'Bella, this is for you for tonight, I will be picking you up instead of Edward, so be ready by 5pm sharp and don't forget to apply your makeup the way that I showed you'

Love Alice

How had I been so busy as to not notice all that was on my bed? I am glad that they called Charlie because if they depended on me to have known I would still be here, not dressed and clueless. Any how I took my shower, brushed my teeth, and wrapped a towel around me and went back to my room. There on the bed was my outfit for the night and undergarments that looked as if it should be worn by some Victoria secret model instead of me. The undergarments were black see thru lace, and I wondered why they would make something that had no imagination to it, then in turn, I lifted the outfit to get a better look. It was a short mini blue dress that had a plunging v in the back, and seemed as if it will be very snug. I cringed as to the thought of why Alice would dress me in this type of attire, but instead of arguing with her when she arrived I put it all on. I knew it would be snug, the dress accented what ever curves that I had possessed, and I must admit I rather looked sexy, and that was a compliment. I continued back to my bed to open the box that lied on top, and slowly opened it, Alice placed black stiletto heels in the box and matching jewelry to compliment the attire. I held up the heels and thought 'Alice must be trying to see my death tonight, because there was no way that I could walk in these without killing myself with my balance problem already'. Once again I put on trusting Alice. Once I was all packed and dollied up I was ready to go. I heard a knock at the door and heard Charlie scream "I got it Bells".

"Ok Charlie, I be done in a sec".

"Hey Charlie", Alice said

"Hiyya darling, nice to see you again, hope you girls have a great night", said Charlie.

"Oh you don't have to worry about that Charlie this will be Bella's best Birthday ever".

Just she said that I reached the bottom of the stairs and Charlie looked up and whistled.

"Wow Bella you look great, where exactly are you all going tonight", Charlie asked, he also found it strange that Bella was dressed this sexy.

"We'll Charlie we have planned a very elegant evening out so all of us decided to dress extra special, and that is all that I can say without ruining the surprise, if you get my drift", Alice winked and smile at Charlie, dazzling him on purpose so he would not question anymore. I on the other hand glared at Alice wondering where her intentions were going to lead me. As we got into Alice's yellow Porsche I could not help myself, curiosity was running over, I had to find out what was going on.

"Alice just what the heck is going on here, and where is Edward?"

"Why thank you Alice for my outfit, you are the greatest best friend ever" Alice said to herself, and to my added frustration she also answered herself as well "You're welcome". We rode in silence for a few blocks when I looked up and saw my Prince, my angel, really no words could describe his beauty standing along side of the road against his silver Volvo, with my favorite crooked grin. Alice pulled over to the curve and turned to me" Bella this outfit is for Edward and he has a surprise for you tonight, that you are going to owe me for the rest of your life for, so instead on fusing why I dressed you and snuck you out from home, enjoy your birthday and I will see you a little later". With that she hugged me in her stone embrace and sped off. I did not know what to expect when I turned around, but the look on Edward's face said a 1000 words, It was obvious he had not seen through Alice's thoughts, this outfit coming. Edward had a grin from ear to ear and his eyes were darker than ever with what appeared to be lust and love, and I saw all this from a distance. Edward at a blink of an eye had me in his arms. "Bella love, I have never seen anyone this beautiful in all of my existence, there are no words to describe how beautiful you are, just exquisite, I am the luckiest man in the world to have you". I could not believe his words, what was he saying? It was the other way around for me. How could I have such a beautiful man in my life that loves me this much, I did not feel worthy of him. "Edward it is the other way around I am lucky to have you love me".

"Bella you really do not see yourself very clearly at all love". Edward bent down and kissed me passionately, pulling away so I can catch my breath as he trailed his lips from the top of my jaw to my chin. I in returned wrapped my arms around his neck to pull myself closer to his wonder scent and to feel the contours of his muscular body. "Bella love, if we continue this way, we will never get you to your surprise will we?"

"It can wait"

"No Bella we have to go before someone sees us here on the side of the road, and words get to Charlie. I am not sure I would have an excuse to cover that, would you not agree?" Bella agreed, and Edward helped her into the car, and drove off down the road.

"So Bella what did Jacob want to give you?"

"You were listening to his thoughts weren't you?" Bella turned and squinted her eyes at Edward. He on the other hand smiled with no conviction.

"Jacob gave me a hand carved statute of a wolf, it was so well carved, I could not believe he made it himself, it was kind of sweet of him". Edward frowned, he knew what was really on Jacobs mind and he was hoping to give Bella more than just a statue today for her birthday, he really wanted her to be so overwhelmed by the gift that she would kiss him or somewhere in that direction. Jacob had always wanted Bella and he has always made that clear in his mind every chance he got, when Edward was near just to get him rared up. Edward growled a low growl from the thought, but too low for Bella to hear. "Yes that was nice of him Bella love".

"So where are we going Edward?"

"Patience love, it is a surprise"

"We are here Bella"

"Edward this is the forest at a dead end"!

"I know love; we can't go any further by car, so we will run the rest of the way"

What did he just say? Did he not notice what I have on? Edward noticed her panic and smiled saying "Bella it is ok you are not riding on my back I will be carrying you tonight, love". That was so much better for Bella. Edward held her close to his chest, this was Bella's favorite spot to be, and the smell of his skin was intoxicating. Bella really could not help herself by breathing in deeply as Edward ran through the forest. Just as Edward began to slow, there was a slight part in the trees ahead where light was surrounding the entrance. As we walked through, I notice we were in a meadow of some kind and Edward had adorned the area with candles and lights. If I had never seen it for myself I would never had guess that such existed. It was straight out of a fairy tale book, it was September so all of the flowers were still there even though we were starting to get cooler temperatures. The flowers laid in a blanket covering the entire area, and in the middle of this was a giant oak tree that had to be over 100 years old, but had maintain its true beauty of nature. Edward had taken upon himself to lay out a blanket under the tree with a picnic basket on top. We walked toward the blanket and I looked around the meadow in an awe state. Edward lowered me to the blanket.

"Bella love, are you ok?" Edward asked because Bella had yet to respond and she still looked like she was in shock.

"I am fine Edward, what is this place, it is so beautiful here, and thank you for so much" Bella leaned in and kissed Edward on his lips in a gentle kiss.

"I am glad you really like it. This is where I come on sunny days; it is my haven from all of my problems. It is far away that I can barely hear voices, and it allows me to have some just a little bit of peace in this crazy existence. I come here and am reminded of its beauty and I think of you, though you beauty outshines this place by far. I thought that can be our meadow, our little oasis away from forks". His words were so beautiful that I had not realized that I was crying, .I still could not understand why he loved me and wanted someone so insignificant compared to him. Edward noticed her crying as well.

"Bella love, why are you crying, do you want to leave?"

"No Edward I am just happy, it is so beautiful, Thank you so much for this, I love you"

"As I love you, My Bella love" Edward kissed me gently and then with a little more passion, before pulling away to opening the picnic basket.

"Esme made this for you, and I know you have not eaten since school so eat first and we can see what comes after. We only have a little time here, as we do need to see our family later this evening, but I just wanted to spend time with just you and me and no one listening in". Esme packed a wonderful pasta primavera and for dessert fruit salad, Edward even brought sparkly cider. Dinner was wonderful of course, and Edward and I decided to just lay in each others arms and stare at the sky in our own bliss.

"Bella I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you"

"I feel the same Edward, I love you with all my heart, you are right this birthday gift was not bad at all"

"Oh I am not done giving you your presents yet Mrs. Swan". Edward leaned in and kissed Bella but this time it was not as careful as he usually is. Edward had so much love pouring into his kissed that Bella became overwhelmed in joy. As their lips moved together Bella parted her lips giving Edward access with his tong. The taste of Edward was so delicious Bella just could not get enough. Edward pulled back and began to cover her in kisses starting down her neck, across her jaw, and over her collar bone. He repositioned himself to where he hovered over top of Bella without putting pressure to hurt her. Edward lifted up his face to hers, and looked into Bella's eyes. He wanted to be sure that she wanted what he also wanted. Bella had a look of need, love, desire, and most of all trust. "I Love you Bella". Bella saw the same in Edwards eyes, as they darkened from his glorious topaz color to almost black. This was need, but not thirst, and Bella knew she wanted the same. Bella pulled Edward close and whispered in his ear "I am yours, I need you Edward". Edward was immediately aroused and on her, with his hands caressing every inch of her body that he reached. Slowly he ran his hands down her side, pass her hip onto her thighs, and slowly lifted her dress up, while kissing and suck down her neck. Bella let out a moan, she had never felt this way before, it was so new and yet, she knew she needed him, all of him at that moment. Edward lifted Bella up to remove the dress she wore, over her head to reveal the black see thru- under garment ensemble that Alice had picked out. Edward growled a low growl, he could not believe that Bella could make him feel this way; his human instincts were making themselves known. Bella tugged at Edwards's shirt and he gladly slipped it off, in one lithe moment, but continued to trail kisses down her neck to her chest and over the pecks of her breast. Bella arched her back in ecstasy, as Edward began to tease her erect nipples thru, the see-thru bra. Edward was so turned on from the sight of her exposed body he yanked her bra off in the process. "Bella you are absolutely exquisite he murmured" as he took in the full view of her breast. Edward cupped her breast and began to massage her till all you heard were her loud moans. Edward bent down his lips to her nipple and slowly licked them with his cold tongue savoring the taste of Bella, and letting out a moan himself. Bella grab Edward and brought him back to her lips, and continued to massage his tongue with hers. Pulling back for air Bella whispered "I need you now Edward now".

Edward was so lost in his love that he tore off her panties and removed the remainder of his clothing articles, and positioned himself between Bella's thighs. Edward looked at Bella and kept eye contact with her as he entered her, and then stopped. "Bella it may hurt, this is your first time, are you ready for this, we can stop now".

"Yes Edward I want this, I love you, and I want you to show me how much you love me".

With that Edward made one deep thrust and filled Bella completely. Bella hollered out, but it was a mixture of pain and pleasure. Edward Held still to make sure everything was ok; Bella moved her hips to signal him to continue on. Bella and Edward made love for the first time and it was a powerful thing. The love they shared this night was incomparable to anything they had ever felt before; they knew they were meant for each other. At that moment Bella knew this was perfect, and this was the best night of her life and nothing could mess this night up, or so she thought!
