B.P.O.V
I felt the coolness of my sheets and my eyes flashed open. I had not remembered falling asleep but being in Jakes arms made everything else feel artic. Rubbing my eyes I felt him lye down beside me. I sighed in relief and snuggled into his chest gripping for dear life. Jake chuckled lightly and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I wished we could stay like this forever but now gazing out the window I could see the sky growing lighter with every passing second. Charlie did a routine check on me at around 7am and I could only imagine the horror on his face if he found Jake in my bed. He loved Jake but that could fade as quick as bell bottom jeans.
"Bells," Jake whispered.
I kept my eyes closed, "Yes?"
"You're not going to change your mind about this are you? I mean I'm happy but…..you," he stuttered on his words. "You know I just want to be sure that this is what you want?"
I looked up at him with heavy eyelids. The worry and frustration was written on his face, "I love you. I'm in love with you. I can tell that you're worried but you don't have to worry anymore."
"It's just kind of hard to believe a little. But I love you too. I remember the first time we walked on the beach. It was just so natural and you were just so breathe taking. I loved you ever since that moment."
My lips gently brushed against his I kissed him softly. It was sweet and pure. Being with Jake was as natural as breathing. I didn't have to pretend to be anyone else because he knew me. He knew me better than I have ever known myself but yet he loved me all the same. The way he looked at me was something I would never forget. I pulled away lightly, "You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You saved me from Edward and you saved me from myself."
I rest my head onto his chest again and smiled. Life felt so great. I had never been so happy at any moment in my life. It was beginning to scare me a little.
"Bells I have to leave soon."
"Don't remind me," I murmured.
"I'm going to see you soon right?" he asked
"Of course. What are you doing today?" I asked
"You," he laughed lightly.
"You're not doing me today. You're doing me every day for e rest of my life," I said.
My lips kissed the side of his neck. Jake sighed lightly, "Bells."
"Jake," I sang mockingly into the curve of his neck.
"You're going to get me murdered."
I straddled his waist and gazed into his eyes, "I won't tell if you won't."
"You are being so bad right now."
"And I thought that was why you loved me," I joked.
"It is kind of but I love life too and I'm not ready for mine to end," He said lifting off the bed still holding onto me.
He walked over towards the window and I slid down off of him. Jakes arms were still wrapped around me.
"I promise I'll be quite," I pleaded.
"No you won't. Maybe you have not heard yourself Bella. It's a sexy version of the opera, "he said with that gorgeous smirk on his face.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."
He pulled me closer and rubbed his nose against mine. I could taste his breath on my tongue and that was so distracting.
"Don't be mad. I'll let you sing Opera for me later."
He kissed me one last time and disappeared through the window. I sighed lightly. There was a noise in the hallway. I rushed over to my bed and covered myself. Just like clockwork Charlie stuck his head in the door. I looked over in his direction.
"Bells your awake?"
"Yea dad. I could not sleep so I'm just awake thinking."
Charlie entered. He wore his huge Navy blue robe that draped the floor and he had his coffee mug that read World's greatest dad on it. Yea he was a little full of himself but that is why I love him and exactly why I brought him that mug. He sat on the edge of my bed and gave me a very easy smile.
"So what are you thinking about?" he asked before taking a sip
"Life, love, and happiness you know all the girly stuff," I joked.
"Great," he said sarcastically.
I looked at him and then back at the wall. I knew where this conversation was going.
"So you and Jake….are you um you know dating?" he asked
I smiled lightly, "He's my boyfriend dad."
Charlie nearly chocked in excitement, "Bells are you being serious with your old man?"
I nodded yes, "Dad I love Jake and you were right we are perfect for one another."
"I'm always right. So I guess the next step is to go to the clinic and get you some birth control."
"Dad no…we are not talking about this. It's 7 am and besides mom got me birth control when I turned 13."
"Bells you had sex at 13?" he asked placing his hand over his heart.
"Dad no god no would you just stop please?"
He nodded, "okay well I'm going to get ready for work. Can you handle a lonely Sunday without your old man?"
"Sure dad. Be careful okay?"
"Always am," he said as he closed the door.
I curled up in a ball and rested my head against my pillow and slowly drifted. It was not until I heard the vibrations from my cellphone and the annoying ring tone that opened my eyes. Gazing over at the clock that read 2 pm I rolled over and grabbed the cell phone. I had two texts. One was from Angela who is my best friend. I forgot I promised to go to the drug store with her. She thinks that she may be pregnant which was a big shocker to me I mean who would have thought Ben was capable of that? I guess you really should not judge a book by its cover. I began to read her text
Bells I will be at your house in 20 minutes. Be ready- Ange
I sighed and got out of bed. I really did not want to go anywhere other than La push to be with Jake. But I was not going to abandon my friends again. The way I treated them was wrong when Edward left me and I was still making up for that. I made a vow to be there for them from then on out. Gazing back at my phone I smiled brightly as I read Jakes text.
I can't stop thinking of you or the way you smell. But I most definitely cannot wait to have you in my bed with me. I'm going to hang with the pack for a few hours but I promise you will have me to yourself later. I love you Bella see you at 6.-Jake
God I love him so much, I thought to myself.
I got dressed quickly just by throwing on some black jeans, my favorite Ramon's crop tee and leather jacket with matching boots. After a few seconds of gazing in the mirror I realized that this was as good as it was going to get. I heard a horn out front as I grabbed my cell and keys and bolted for the door.
Inside the car Angela was a nervous wreck. She did not look like herself. She wore a huge grey sweat suit that swallowed her body. I could not contain the laughter as I she rolled her eyes and pulled off.
"Bella what is so funny?"
"Ange you look like you stepped out of Fat Albert's closet. Honey your waist is slimmer than mine."
"No it's not Bella I'm getting huge. This morning I saw a stretch mark. I don't have stretch marks Bells," she said frantically.
"Ange your sexually active now stretch marks happen. Maybe you should not pounce so hard," I said laughing lightly.
She gazed over at me with curious eyes, "What do you know about Pouncing on anything Virgin Mary?"
I grew silent. I forgot Angela did not know what I had been up to. Focusing my attention on the window I hoped she would change the subject but I knew that would never happen.
"O my god," she yelled.
I turned to her, "Watch the road Ange."
"Fuck the road Bella you had sex. You had sex. Bella had sex," Angela sang.
"Why don't you roll down your window and shout it to forks," I said sarcastically.
"Awe bells don't be like that. You have to spill."
"Nope," I said turning my nose up at her.
"I promise I won't even look at Edward funny if you tell me."
"Edward?" I asked "Oh right Edward."
Angela got quiet but I felt her eyes burning a hole on the side of my face, "Watch the road Ange."
"Bella you cheated on Edward?" she asked shocked
"No god no I broke up with him."
"Wait did I just hear you say that? Not miss I'm so alone and depressed for months when Edward left. I don't believe it. Well who is this guy? Do I know him?"
"You know of him."
She smiled lightly, "its Jacob isn't it?"
"Why would you think it's him?" I asked trying to hide the blush I was currently undergoing
"Because he's just a natural choice. I've been around him a few times Bella that boy is in love with you. Honestly I'm happy with your choice. I never want things to get back to the way it was when the Cullen's left town. No guy should have that much power over you. So how did Edward take it?"
"I don't know. I just told the truth and we parted ways."
"Do you think he'll just let you go? I mean just let you be happy with someone else?"
"I do he always just wanted the best for me. I don't see why that would change now."
We pulled into the parking lot and got out. I followed Angela and her lumpy sweat suite into the store. We reached the section where the Pregnancy test were and honestly we were like boys in the cosmetic section no matter how much we tried it was impossible to choose the right one. My attention shifted to condoms. There were so many to choose from. Did Jake and I really need to use condoms? The answer to that question was yes. I did not want to be in Angela's place next week. I picked up Magnum XL. Hopefully it was big enough to fit at least half of Jake's cock in it. I mean that boy had a huge one.
"Bella you are supposed to help me out but instead you're picking out condoms. Smooth real smooth is Jake even that big Bella seriously."
"You see the difference in my walk today so what do you think?" We laughed lightly and I returned to her side. We finally picked out clear blue and headed for the cash register.
"Oh wait right here I need a drink."
I made my way towards the back where the drinks were. I grabbed on and the next thing I knew about 20 cans came tumbling after. I began to pick them up and then I saw another pair of hands reach down to help me. After we were done I stood up to thank him, "Thank you so mu…" I broke off mid-sentence as I gazed into his big brown eyes. The strangers remind me of Jake. His skin was golden bronze and but his black hair hung wildly at shoulder length. He was shirtless and his muscles were ripped. He had moon tattoos on his right shoulder and his cargo pants hung as low as possible.
I stood there in shock as his smile grew a little wider with curiosity. It took me a while to realize he had a friend with him. He was similar looking but shorter and his hair was a sandy brown color.
"Are you okay?" he asked
He had a thick accent but I could not make out exactly where it was from.
"Yea umm I'm fine it's just you remind me of someone. Hi I'm Bella," I said extending my hand. "Thank you for helping me.
"What can I say I see a pretty girl in distress and I help. I'm Caleb and this is my cousin Kale."
"It's nice to meet you both. Are you new in town? I haven't seen you before."
"Yea we just moved here to forks actually. I'm not really enjoying that rain too much. So Bella who do I remind you of?" he asked curiously
"My boyfriend Jake you look like you could be brothers."
"Well I'm not your boyfriend sorry to disappoint you."
"It's alright. I'm not really disappointed," I said smiling lightly in a friendly gesture.
"Well Bella I guess I'll be seeing you around," he said smiling.
"I guess you will. It's was nice meeting you both."
I walked away slapping myself mentally. Why did I feel as if I had done something wrong? Maybe I did think he was cute but only because he looked like Jake. I kept repeating that in my head hopefully I would convince myself of that.
