Hiya guys, been a while I know, my bad! This was more of a setting the scene chapter then anything else. Edward will be in the next chapter, don't you worry!
Song of the Chapter: Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine
I woke up to a kiss. In my opinion that's an excellent way to wake up, no matter who you are. I sneaked an eye open and saw Jacob standing there along with a tray in hand with orange juice and toast. Did I mention he was wearing only an apron? I smiled and shuffled into a sitting position, as he placed the tray into my lap.
"Happy Anniversary!" He smirked as my eyes travelled over his body. "Happehm…" was all I managed to mumble out, completely distracted by him. Nice one Bella. He sat down on the bed as I began to chew down the toast. I know it's only toast but my God could Jacob cook. Just the right golden brown with just a quick coat of butter, exactly how I like it.
"So when can I have my presents?" I cheekily asked, quickly sipping down the orange juice.
"After work, when you get home," He grinned as I childishly folded my arms and pushed out my bottom lip causing him to laugh. That was the thing with Jacob; it was so easy to just be me round him. "Fine! You can have one now," he turned and walked away, giving me an eyeful. He should walk around in that apron every day, scratch that, he should wear nothing every day. Seeing me watching he wiggled his ass, causing me to laugh out loud.
"Hurry up, before I have to go to work!" I shouted through to the living room, jumping out of bed and running to the bathroom. I shoved my toothbrush in my mouth and began furiously brushing. Dammit, I always manage to be late; no matter what time I set my alarm clock or get woken by a handsome guy. I felt some hands around my waist and a present popped up into my view. I grinned into the mirror, seeing his head resting on my shoulders. I pushed my tooth brush into my mouth as I unwrapped the present which was covered in a gorgeous black wrapping paper decorated with silver sparkles. I almost didn't want to unwrap it… Almost. It was a small black box with Pandora written across it. I gasped in surprise and popped open the lid and saw a silver bracelet with several different charms on it.
"It's beautiful!" I muffled, firmly taking the toothbrush out of my mouth before turning into Jacob's embrace, delicately holding the box in one hand. We touched foreheads, which was difficult since I was about 5 ft. nothing and he was easily 6 ft. 2, and he took the bracelet and placed it on my wrist.
"This," he pointed to a heart, "is mine but has always belonged to you. These stars represent our parents, because even though they're not here, they're still watching from afar." I sighed into him, tearing at the remembrance of how our parents had died. A day out to go shopping, meeting a drunk driver in the street and that was that. We were only 20 but I swallowed the bitter memories and concentrated on his deep brown eyes. "These flowers signify when we had our first date and I gave you flowers. You kept them in a jar for about 2 months," he chuckled.
"What about the clock and the house?" I questioned, leaning into him a bit more.
"Well," he started, and I could feel his breath on my lips, "the clock shows how we will always have time for each other and I really want to spend all of it with you. The house is where I'm at home and I'm always at home with you." With that he kissed my deeply, tasting every corner of my mouth. He quickly pecked me on the lips once more, "you really need to get ready for work" he smirked.
I groaned in protest but rushed to get ready. Just as I got to the door I turned to him, "I've got you a present, but you're going to have to find it. I've hidden it somewhere." I winked at him, before dashing to my car.
I got to Forks Primary School just in time to settle down and get to my desk. The first couple hours of the day were fine; the children were on their best behaviour and really enjoyed painting pictures for their parents. God, I love teaching second grade kids, they were all just so happy and acted so innocent, and it really did warm my heart when I was with them. I had a warm cup of coffee in my hands, looking out the frosty window at the kids playing a game, all wrapped up in hats, scarves and whatever else their parents could force on them.
"So! How was this morning!" I heard a squeal behind me. I turned to my best friend Alice standing there, hands clasped together in excitement. Her quick eyes quickly darted to my wrist where my present was hanging from, and with a gasp she pounced on my arm.
"Oh. My. God." she huffed, "this is more awesome than I originally imagined!"
It didn't surprise me she knew what Jacob had brought me, in fact she probably helped him with it. I ruffled her short pixie cut, causing her to jump out of my way and move it back to its normal perfect style.
"Thanks shortie."
"I'll choose to ignore that because Rose and I get to dress you up!" she grinned. I didn't like the look of that grin. It was slightly evil.
I frowned, "why?"
She looked at me poignantly, "you can't have dinner looking like that."
I looked down at myself; sure it wasn't fancy, just a simple long black jumper hanging off one shoulder, leggings and some boots. She touched my hair, which hung to my shoulders slightly curled in its normal fashion.
"I have the perfect idea for this," she walked back over to her class room, "I'll see you at the end of school!"
The rest of the day passed as a blur. I was just eager to get home and back to Jacob, I smiled to myself as I waved off the last parent. I turned around and their stood Rose and Alice, in all their glory, holding product after product and weighed down with a mountain of clothes.
It would be a while before I got home.
Reviews are as good a guy waking you up in a morning with breakfast :D
