Jacob walked past me into his super small room that mainly consisted of just a bed. He sat my bag on the little floor that there was, kicked off his shoes and turned towards me. "X-box?" He asked with a hopeful attitude I smiled, "Jake, I know I said I would but with all that's happened today I think I just want to go to sleep." Jake frowned slightly and he looked down, "Okay I understand." He grabbed a small crocheted blanket from his closet. "It's the only blanket I have; I don't really get cold these days. Emily made that by the way." I took the blanket and the small pillow he handed me, and followed him out of the room and to the couch.
"Well, it's not a Temper Pedic bed but it'll get you through the night." He said tapping the back of the couch; I smiled lightly "not a Temper Pedic by any means" I mumbled. "Well good-night I'll see you in the morning." He said walking over to me and giving me a light hug. I was so glad it wasn't like most of his bear-hugs. "Night" I whispered as he stalked off outside with Billy.
I glanced at the clock on my phone as I laid down on the springy couch. It was only 10:45! We left at around 10:30, the ride was 12 miles which we drove a mile a minute and I have just been here a couple of minutes but it was so early! I just pushed it out of my mind, closed my eyes tight and drifted off into unconsciousness.
Before I knew it I was awake again. The entire house was pitch black except the small glimmer of moon light shining in from the window. I was curled up into a ball with the small blanket draped over me. The house was freezing; it felt as if I were just sleeping outside! My teeth were chattering as I reached for my phone that was somewhere on the floor. I slid it open and it was only 3:46. I have no idea how I could survive this night, it was to cold, by morning I would be a Popsicle. I shuddered and curled up tighter, I know Billy would have some blankets but I wasn't about to go steal them off his bed.
I shut my eyes, when all of a sudden I heard the creaking of foot-steps. I jumped slightly, I couldn't see who was walking around so I curled up as tight as possible not wanting to move an inch. What if it were Edward? Or worse what if it were Victoria! I winced at the thought of this; it was either back in the arms of my captive, or slowly tortured to death. I stopped breathing, but my teeth still chattered giving away my location to the sudden intruder.
I was so caught up in fear that when the refrigerator door opened I almost screamed. The light from the refrigerator revealed Jacob, as he was rummaging around for something. I began to collect myself and calm down when I had fully known that it was Jacob and not my worst fears. I wasn't thinking smart anyway; there was a pack of werewolves on duty right now, as if they would let a vampire get this close to anyone.
I noticed the figure of Jacob turn to me, "Bella are you okay?" he spoke his voice calming me even more; I was still chattering my teeth. "Not really, I am freezing, and this blanket isn't helping one bit" I told him truthfully. "Hmm, it's warm in here if you ask me." I sighed and with chattering teeth spoke, "Jake, your b…body…t…temperature is like 109 de...degrees" I finally managed to say. Jacob laughed suddenly "Well, I don't think we have anymore blankets." He spoke still as if he found it funny. Did he really not care that I was going to freeze to death!
Before I even had a chance to get mad, I could hear Jake's heavy footsteps heading towards me. "Okay, don't slap me for this; I am just helping you out." Before I could even comprehend what he said I felt on arm grab behind my knees and the other grabbed my other shoulder. With so much ease he lifted me up and held me close to his chest. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and I could feel the heat coming off of him, heating my body. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him, and laid my head on his chest.
He chuckled as he started to walk somewhere with me still in his arms. I could hear his heartbeat; it was calm and soothing making my smile stay on my face. Before I really knew it we were in his room, he set me gently on his bed, crawled over me and laid back down. He was about arms length away but for some odd reason I was still smiling, even though some of the cold was creeping up on me. "Thank you, but why would I slap you?" I asked as I very lightly scooted closer to him. "Well for picking you up and bringing you to my bed" He laughed and readjusted his position. "Are you still cold?" His voice was sincere; "yes" I managed to whisper. I felt his arm touch my back, and he lightly pulled me closer to him, my back was touching his chest. "Keep close to me Bells, I'll keep you warm." He whispered in my ear, sending chills down my back. I turned over to where my chest was touching his. I felt peaceful, so much more comfortable and warm. "Thank you," I whispered I leaned in slowly to where my lips barley touched his. His lips were smooth, warm and inviting.
I didn't push into the kiss –If you even called it a kiss—I just let my lips brush against his. Suddenly his hand that was on my back pulled me closer, making our lips press together more, my body started to tingle. Normally I think I would have pushed away but I simply couldn't. I could feel his lips parting and his tongue traced my bottom lip, as if he were begging for me to do the same.
I couldn't help it; it was like an impulse I parted my lips also, letting his wet, smooth, slender tongue slid into my mouth. My head was racing, it was is if our tongues were dancing together, his around mine. I pushed myself deeper into the kiss than, and as close as I could be to him. His hand tangled into my hair, and his other was planted firmly now on my butt. He pressed only my hips closer into him until it hurt, I had to stop this but couldn't.
Our tongues were intertwined when I broke it off into several close mouthed kisses. I wrapped my arms around him, and he did the same and I fell into a dreamless sleep. Before I knew it I was awake again, my arms were still wrapped around Jake, and on Jake's alarm clock it said 7:22. I felt so fully rested and filled with energy. I looked at Jacob who was snoring slightly. His head was cocked to the side, and his arms were behind his head like a makeshift pillow.
I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, slid out of bed carefully so not to wake him. Billy was asleep, so I decided that I should make breakfast. That way I didn't feel like a third wheel and just a little something for Jake. I looked in there cabinets, and refrigerator and to my surprise they were full with food. I decided to cook a big breakfast, because of the way Jake eats. I cooked, eggs, sausage, hash browns, and made some sweet tea.
I filled the plate and walked into Jakes room, he was still fast asleep and snoring lightly. I sat where I had laid last night and very lightly nudged him. "Jake…Jake…Jacob…" Finally I saw his eyes blink rapidly as he sat up. He looked at the plate with wide eyes and then up to me. "What's this for?" He asked still surprised. "Well, since you saved me from freezing last night, and for all your doing for me, I thought I could at least do something." "Wow thank you Bells." Was all he managed to say, I got up and took the plate to the dining room table as he followed.
"Oh and thank you, a lot for last night, I really don't know how I would have made it through the night as cold as it was." I spoke as he already began digging in; he stopped momentarily and looked into my eyes. "Hey any time…Your welcome to sleep there again tonight…that is if… you know you… wanted to." He stammered and looked away as if he were embarrassed to ask. I smiled "Of course, I'd love to." He looked back up from the plate and smiled widely flashing his bright shiny teeth.
As I started to wash the pans I had used I stopped, and looked back, "Hey, if Sam and the gang aren't needing your assistance right away do you want to go hiking?" After I asked I went right back to scrubbing, and next thing I knew he was next to me. I have still not gotten use to how quiet he was. "Yeah, that sounds like a fun idea, Sam, Paul, and Embry are all at Emily's taking it easy and I don't think they need me right now." As he spoke he put his plate into the dish water. "Thanks, I think you might be a better cook then Emily" He half smiled and kissed my cheek lightly and walked back to the table.
As I still continued to wash the dishes I began to wonder, was I really growing feelings for Jake? Something about that kiss last night was…Marvelous, I had never felt that way towards him before. "Hey, I am going to go change, so we can go hiking, if you need to just change in the bathroom." His voice broke my train of thought. "Okay" I told him, I drained the dish water grabbed my bag and went to go change.
