7 oclock on the dot and i was ready, just as always, punctual, it was the way i was brought up, living with a Dad as police officer would probably be the reason behind that. I knocked on Jacobs door, wine in one hand and a DVD in the other. I havent been out with friends for so long, mainly because i had none, apart from Jacob obviously, i was a bit behind on how the process works. Jacob opened the door, obviously as usual he was oblivious to the world and stood infront of me naked, in nothing but a towel around his waist and a necklace around his long elegant neck. Wow. I had to admit, he is gorgeous. He ruffled his hair a little,
and sighed, his breath hit my face and i found myself wanting to touch his chest, just run my fingers down his abs, just once. NO, i thought, restrain yourself.
''Come in Bells, i see you came equipt, wow, wine, you pushed the boat out huh?'' Jacob laughed, grabbing the bottle from my hand and tugging me inside.
''Well, i thought since this is the first time ive left my apartment since.. i dont know, FOREVER, that maybe id go all out'' I grunted, not really sure what to say. Id only ever been inside Jacobs house three times before, and never once on my own. Jacob and i had been friends for a while now, but being here with him,
him half naked, i felt nervous.. shy? Surely its just because im a little cold and dazed from walking the few blocks to his house. Or, my mind said, maybe you're attracted to this man afterall. Shut up, shut up! My subconscious would just have to turn its self off tonight, if i was going to suvive this without any embarassment.
''Well make yourself at home love, ill just grab some clothes and join you, glasses are in the second cupboard'' Jacob trailed off. I watched him walk down the hall and saw too much, as he reached his bedroom door the towel came down and i saw everything, and it was a perfect sight, but not one i should be seeing. Get a grip Bells, i told myself, jeez. I skipped over to where the glasses were and reached for two, pouring two large glasses and heading towards the sofa.
I sat quietly on my own for around five minutes, admiring his book collection, noticing Romeo and Juliet among the books. Funny, i never had Jake down as a romantic,
or a reader, but obviously i was wrong. ''Penny for your thoughts?'' Jacob startled me, i dropped my glass and it tumbled to the floor. Before i could attempt to catch it, Jacob swiftly caught it with one hand before tutting at me.
''Tut tut, Bells, i invite you round and you attempt to vandalize my carpet, what will i do with you'' He joked, patting me on the shoulder he lifted my legs up, sat down and replaced my legs over anyone else we would look like a couple sharing a drink, canoodling in the corner, and i felt like it too.
I hadnt noticed when he fist came in but Jake was wearing a black short sleeved top that complimented his amazing arms, tanned and very,very big. He looked good.
''Wow Jacob, you've been working out'' I exclaimed.
''Bells, ive been working out for five years, ive always looked like this'' Jacob replied. Suddenly, i noticed he was right, he has always been this way, this shape.
So why have i just noticed how incredibly attractive and strong, even masculine he looked? Because you fancy him now, my subconcionse yelled.
''Silly me, so what are we going to do? Im sure you didnt invite me round to play monopoly and small talk about your gym routine'' I laughed.
He reached over and moved a strand of hair behind my ears. Things were progressing too quickly, and i didnt mind, Jacob made me comfortable, i allowed myself to look at him and smile. He put his glass down, reached for mine and placed it next to his.
''Bells, we can play monopoly if you really want to, but theres something i want to talk to you about'' His tone was serious now, and i knew what was coming.
He was going to tell me that he liked me, and i would freeze, and clam up, because thats who i am, awkward Bella.
''Jake, look i dont really-''
''Sssh, let me say it, im sure you've gathered now that i love you, as a friend ofcourse, but i think recently ive had to admit ive started to like you, in other ways and you dont have to feel the same, you just have to tell me if im pushing it or making you uncomfortable'' He smiled, whilst putting his hand on me knee.
Any other day, any other man, i would of run a mile, grabbed my coat and legged it home, told myself not to get close to somebody, but this was Jacob, my Jacob, and after everything, maybe this would be okay, so i let him do it, i let him reach down and kiss me tenderly.
''I..''
''Crap. Im sorry i shouldnt of-'' But he didnt get chance to finish, because i grabbed him and pulled him head first into the most needy kiss i have ever given,
ever recieved. I pulled him closer, letting our tounges meet. He smelled of wine and cheese, and i loved it. I played withe the hair on the nape of his neck and twirled my finger around his, ever so whilst exploring deeper in his mouth.
''Wow, girl you can kiss'' Jacob panted,whilst squeezing my knee.
''Thanks, maybe its my secret talent'' Okay Bells, why did you just say that? Idiotic.
''But'' i continued. ''I like you too Jacob, lets just take it slow okay?'' I asked ''Sure'' He beamed. ''Ill put a movie on, or we could-''
''No, Jacob, i have a bettter idea, you still have the spare helmet you offered me last year, right?''
''Yeah, but i dont think-''
''Grab it, we're going for a ride'' I almost shouted. This, this is the time. Id already kissed my boss and admitted i have a thing for him, so why not jump on the back of his motorbike and let him take me for a spin into the unknown, whats the worst that could happen, apart from falling off and dying obviously.
I grabbed his hand and we made for the door. He grabbed two jackets, two helmets and his keys and he was good to go. He locked his door and headed to the bike.
''Now, you gotta hold on tight Bells, promise?''
''I promise, Jake'' And with that, i jumped on the bike before i had chance to change my mind, put my arms around his waist and nuzzled into his back.
This is it, this is actually happening. I am on a motorbike with a man who i am now probably dating, and we're going to ride it.

''Lets go'' I screamed.
