AN: again I own nothing the brilliant Stephanie Meyer does.

Chapter 2: The Date

I wasn't going to make a big deal about this date. But I found my self becoming more self conscious. What should I wear? What should I bring? All important questions, but they are still unanswered.

I settle with a simple purple tee and jean shorts. I'm guessing it isn't formal since we are going to be at a beach. I grab my purse with and head out for my truck. I had gotten directions from Charlie on how to get to the beach.

When I got there I could see Jacob waving and smiling to me I smiled right back. Maybe this was going to be fun.

"Hey Bella, see the truck still runs that's good. So how are you." He asked. He seemed a little nervous.

"Yeah, I'm good how about you." I said trying to make small talk.

"I'm perfect now that you are here." I blushed at that statement. "Ok let's go." He said has he escorted me to the beach. He was being such a gentleman and he was kind of cute maybe this good work out. Who knows?

"So what do you want to do first? We could make a sand castle." He said a little awkwardly. It always gets awkward after small talk.

"Uh sure." I said as he pointed the way to all the supplies. We started building quietly. It was still awkward. We had the 2 towers up and we were working on a mote.

"Here you have something right there." Jacob said as he touched my nose. I could feel the gritty wet sand on my nose.

"Oh come on Jacob that wasn't nice." I said as I made a small sand ball. "Sorry but I need revenge." I launched the ball as his face but falling short it hit his chest.

"Its war now, Bella Swan." He said with an evil grin.

"Bring it, Jacob Black." I threw one at his face but it went over his head some falling in his black hair.

"Ha-ha you missed. You had the perfect chance but you mis…," he was cut sort by a huge clump of sand and water in his face.

"Didn't that time huh." And with that we both got up and started pelting each other with wet sand.

I ran out of sand so I went near the water, got a handful and splashed him getting his shirt damp. I burst into laughter. He ran and got the tiny bucket filled it with water and I ran for my life. Sadly, my clumsiness interfered and I fell. He got me. He only poured a little on me. It would ruin the date if he got me completely soaked.

"Ok I surrender." I said. He dropped the bucket and held a hand out for me. I took it and he helped me get up.

"You want to get cleaned up and eat." He said with a laugh.

"Yeah. That seems like a good idea." I laughed trying to get some wet sand off me.

"Here this might help." He threw me plain blue and white striped towel. As I cleaned up and put a big blanket on the sand and took out a basket. I assumed it had sandwiches.

"So what do you have in there?" I asked hoping he had my favorite sandwich.

"Well we have two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with Pringles. Oh and the jelly is grape jelly." He said he didn't seem nervous anymore.

"How did you know my favorite sandwich." I said with a smile. "So tell me what it is you like to do. Does the great Jacob black have any talents?' I managed to get out before I took a bite of my sandwich.

"Well I'm really not that exciting, you first." He said also taking a bite of his sandwich. "Why did you move to Forks to your dad?"

"Well my mom got remarried and Phil plays baseball so they travel a lot so I thought I would be better if I moved here with Charlie." I said honestly. "Its ok in Forks, a little small compared to Phoenix, but I'll live. Ok now your turn."

"Well I love to work on cars. I actually fixed up your truck over there." He pointed to my truck in the parking lot.

"Umm, my best friends are Quil and Emery, and I got to school here on the reservation." He stated. Damn we ran out of things to talk about.

"Sooooooo, tell me more about the cold ones legends. Does like everyone on the reservation believe the Cullens are what the legends say?"

"Well mostly the elders believe in them for some reason. I personally don't but the Cullens are weird if you ask me." He said. I looked at my watch. It said 6:00.

"Damn I forgot to make Charlie dinner. I'm so sorry but if I don't feed him he doesn't eat. I really had fun. We should do this again." I said with my best sympathy smile on.

"Ok. I'll call you. I had fun too." He said as I was grabbing my stuff.

"Ok. I 'm sure you have my number, so bye. Thanks again I had a lot of fun." I said as I was walking to my car. I did like Jacob it feels like I've known him forever but I would like him as a best friend not I boyfriend. I think.
