Okay, this chapter is meant to show more Jacob Bella interaction. I have more exciting plot pieces in mind, so I hope you don't think that all I am writing is character interaction. Hehe.

I grabbed the shirt and shorts Jacob picked out for me from the small bed, smiling at the thought of Jacob searching confusedly around my room for my clothes. I was honestly pleased that Jake was so accustomed to my house that he could comfortably navigate around my messy room.

I got out of the sweatpants and sweater outfit I was wearing for our homework session and changed into the yellow running shorts and shirt I was holding in my hands. I wasn't surprised at all that he had picked the yellow ensemble. He liked to see bright colors, and they reflected his personality too.

I heard the scurrying of footsteps and saw Jacob's head sticking out from my doorway.

"You done, Bella? Come on… the weather's great now, but it's going to rain really soon. Can't you just feel it?"

I chuckled. "Jake, you're like my own personal weatherman. How in the world do you know this?"

Jacob walked over to my side of the room slowly with a mischievous grin on his face. I instinctively took a step backwards.

"Jake?" I whispered.

He suddenly grabbed me by my waist.

"I can smell it in the air" he grinned. "You know, I have a keen sense of smell. By the way Bells," he took a sniff at me, "you smell really great."

I giggled nervously about his and slapped his arm softly. He gave me a playful smile when he pretended to be hurt and left my room to wait for me downstairs.

I was still a bit surprised whenever Jacob said things like that to me. Originally, Jacob and I started off our relationship as friends. He always knew how to make me laugh and we would hang out a lot. I would tutor him for his math class and he would try to teach me occasionally about cars. I never actually learned much from those lessons in his garage. Jacob and I were good runners, so we would go out on daily runs, mainly to talk and be with each other.

He was my closest friend, even compared to Angela Weber, who was my best girl friend. Jacob and my relationship grew and I didn't really mind. I knew that Jacob liked me… a lot, and I depended on him way too much to turn him away. Besides, being with Jacob made me feel comfortable and safe, so I gave in to the contentment I felt with Jacob. After months of a flirty friendship, Jacob asked me to be his girlfriend, so I agreed.

Jacob was the only guy that I ever felt any sort of great affection towards, except for Edward Cullen. But I knew that whatever strange pulls Edward had on me was based on absolutely nothing. Whatever irrational feelings I possessed for Edward were pointless, because I had Jacob. Jacob cared for me, and there was no way that Edward would even have any interest in me. I was lucky to have Jake, and I wouldn't push it.

My thoughts were abruptly interrupted when I heard Jake calling my name.

"Bella, you know I love you, but if I don't see you standing in front of me ready to go in the next minute, I'm leaving without you!"

I laughed at his impatience and ran downstairs. I saw the corners of his lips go up when he saw me standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"You wouldn't really leave without me, would you?" I faked a pout.

Jacob was about to answer me when I walked towards him. His body was in the doorway of the front of my house, with his arms resting on the side. I could tell his face was eager to leave. I took advantage of the contrast between his tall stature and my short height and ducked under his arm, running towards the sidewalk.

"Come on, Jake! For someone who wanted to go running so badly, you're kind of slow." I shouted, turning my head around to see a surprised smile on his face.

I picked up my pace, lifting my legs faster only to see Jacob running alongside me. We were now both running at the same speed with determined looks on our faces. I could see beads of sweat start to form on Jacob's face and I took some time to look at the features of his face. He really was very good looking, and I found myself smiling. He seemed to have seen me staring at him and gave me the large grin that I knew so well.

Thanks for reading! :)
