This chapter will cause problems in the next. I always wanted to make a BellaxJacob story but sadly this will not be it :'(

dawn came to quick for my taste. I hadn't been able to sleep the night before and all I could think about was him. Why was I kidding myself he was all I could think about no matter what I had tried.

Not to mention the fact that I would being cliff diving in two days. I was suddenly not looking forward to it. For some strange reason I had a foreboding feeling about it. I couldn't explain it though.

I hoped out of bed and went to pull the curtains back when I saw something stitting on the tree outside. not just something a big something. Why was Jacob out on the tree outside of the window? I threw the window opened and fairly yelled at him.

"Jacob! Why are you on my tree?" Jacob almost fell out of the tree he jerked awake so quickly.

"Wh-what?" he stuttered looking around blindly before realizing where he was. "oh Bella,"

"like I said a minute ago, what are you doing in my tree, right outside my window?"

"umm," he searched for words. "well Bella, I had a bad feeling last night and I just knew I needed to be near you just in case…"

"just in case what?"

"anything happened," he stated easily shrugging his shoulders. "well I think I should go," he said starting to stand on the limb. It still surprised me how well he balanced himself when he was as big as he was. It truly amazed me. "everyone will be wondering where I am," with that and a quick goodbye he swung himself off of the tree and started at a run for the woods beside the house where he could phase. How could werewolves run forever like vampires? Werewolves actually have to breathe!

I ducked my head back inside the window and made my way over to my closet. I grabbed a few clothes not really caring what they were and headed to the bathroom where I could take a nice long hot shower.

I didn't realize how long I was in there until I gotten out and seen that a half an hour had passed. Apparently I had been needing that more than I had thought.

I quickly towel dried my hair and threw it up into a bun, then threw on some better clothes

I grabbed my keys, and headed for the door. As usual my truck started with its usual roar, I had been contemplating lately on whether or not to get a better muffler so it might not be as loud as it was. though there wasn't really much you could do to help this truck.

I arrived in La Push about 15 minutes later. Billy was gone fishing with Charlie, they would be gone all day if I was lucky. Jake was asleep on the couch and since I didn't want to disturb him I just tip toed over to the fridge pulled out the ice tea and grabbed a glass from the cupboard. When the glass was full I went back into the living room. I sat the glass on the table and softly picked up Jacobs head and sat down laying it in my lap. The second his head hit my leg his arms came up and gripped onto my thigh. Not the most comfortable position in the world but if it kept Jake happy and asleep I was willing to let it slide.

I ended up dozing off myself, this time when I awoke the roles were switched. My head was on Jakes lap and while one arm was under my head the other was gripped to his thigh, and he was stroking my hair.

"Wake up Sleeping Beauty," he cooed softly to me. I stirred and turned off of my side to where his face was directly above me.

"I was beginning to think you'd never wake up," he smiled at me. I sat up and leaned against him. His arm came around me, his hand resting on my shoulder, I put my arms up to his and turned my face to where it was buried into his shoulder. His scent invaded my nose and overpowered me. it was intoxicating. I couldn't resist the urge to shove my face deeper into his shoulder and take a deep breath. He didn't say anything as I tilted my head back and lightly kissed him on the lips. It was the first time I had ever done that. he had known I wasn't ready for it so he had never pushed it, now that I was the one initiating it he didn't hesitate and immediately responded by kissing me back. Oh God, his taste was better than his smell. Oh what I had missed out on.

He kissed me deeper until I was so dizzy from lack of oxygen that when he let me go I just collapsed into his arms. He welcomed it. He took the opportunity to pull me closer and enfold me in his huge physique. He was so strong, and sensitive. He would have never have kissed me like that if I had not have kissed him first and given him the ok. He never missed an opportunity to peck me on the cheek but he had never kissed me like that before. What's strange was I had liked it. I had liked it so much that now I was turning my head to him for more. And that's just what I got. More of what I had just gotten, only this time his hands came up to my face and held it there. He didn't let go of my face until long after he had stopped kissing me. His taste was on my lips. It was delicious. It was exactly the same as his smell only more powerful, woodsy kind of, musky, like a pine forest. It took my breath away. Were my feelings changing towards him? How could I have kissed him like this and my feelings not be different? How could I have liked that kiss that so much and not feel something? There was and easy explanation. I was falling for Jacob Black. Slowly and hesitantly but I was definatly falling for him. Slowly but surely.

I sighed and rested my head back onto his chest. I could feel his heart beating. No not beating, racing. His heart was racing because of me, of the kiss we had just shared. Just the thought made my head spin. It made me feel so special to know I was the only girl who could do that to him, could make his heart race like this.

I don't know how long we sat there snuggled up on that couch, we probably dozed back off again. But when I finally had the energy to leave his strong warm arms to look at a clock it was about 11. we were supposed to be at the cliff in three hours. Just the thought had my stomach in knots.

I dragged myself up off of him and slowly made my way to his bedroom. If I was going to be in public I wasn't going to look like I had just woken up, even though I just had.

Jake followed me, and stood and watched at the door as I took my hair down and brushed it with his brush that was on the table, and put it back up into a pony tail. Since I couldn't see him because the mirror was facing the wrong way, and he walked so softly I had no warning when his arms suddenly snaked around my waist and pulled me back into him. I fell backwards willingly. He kissed my hair. I turned to where I was facing him and buried my face in his chest wrapping my arms around his waist. He sighed and pulled his arms up around my shoulders and pulled me closer until there was absolutely no space between us at all, we were like one body.

He held me for what seemed like an eternity until he slowly took one of his hands and pulled my chin up to meet his face. Then he kissed me. it was amazing, there was no way to describe the feeling going through my body. When he broke the kiss I couldn't help but pout which only made him laugh.

"what's that look for?" he said in between silent chuckles.

"you stopped kissing me," I said truthfully before pouting a little more.

"well I can always remedy that," he said, then he kissed me again. This one was even more spectacular than the first…or the second. And this time he didn't stop. He just kept kissing me. his taste was so incredible, just absolutely delicious. I never wanted it to end.

But unfortunately it did. I hadn't reaized until that moment that he had the roles had reversed and now my arms were on his shoulders and his arms were around my waist holding me up about a foot off the ground. In any other instance I wouldn't have been able to wrap my arms fully around his shoulder, not just because he was so tall, but also because he was to broad.

He sat me back down on the floor, and I immediately pulled him close to me again.

"Bella," he whispered hesitantly.

"yes," I murrmered into his chest.

"I think I'm falling in love with you," I sucked in a breath at his whispered words. I had known it was coming, I just hadn't expected it so soon. But somehow it wasn't as hard to take as I had always thought It would be. Were my feelings really changing, or was this just my mind playing tricks on me? I couldn't be sure.

"um…jacob…." He cut off my stuttering with a finger to my lips.

"don't say anything Bella, I don't want you to regret it later. I just had to tell you how I felt. It's ok if you don't feel the same back, I understand, I just wanted you to know. I will always be honest with you, bells," he seemed somewhat defeated.

"Jacob," I began. I really had to psyche myself up for this. I would be baring my whole soul…again. Hopefully this time I wouldn't get hurt. "I don't really know how to explain this other than to say…I'm scared." Jake pushed me back far enough, which was the last thing I wanted to do at the moment, to look at my face. Our noses were just millimeters away from touching he was so close.

"Bella, don't ever be scared, don't ever think I would leave you like he did." This was the first time Jake had referred to Edward as anything other than a bloodsucker and I was surprised. But Jacob didn't stop he just kept on talking. "I don't care about what he did to you, even though it was the most selfish, self-centered thing he could have done, what I care about is you, and I do not want you to be scared to love. Not everyone will leave you Bella, never forget that. I certainly won't leave you. I love you Bella," I could tell he meant it, then again so did Edward. It killed me but I was still so skeptical, and I didn't want to be. I wanted to believe Jacob, I wanted to love him. But then I wanted to hold back. But with Jacob I knew I couldn't do that if only for his sake. I couldn't only give him half me while the other half waited and watched on the sidelines. I just couldn't do that to him. It wouldn't be fair.

But I did love Jacob. And I would not hold back. It was time I loved someone with my all again. Jake deserved it. He had waited so patiently for so long; it would be so unfair to him.

That's what I would do. I would give Jacob my all no matter how much I wanted to hold back. I would give him everything in me.

"Jake," I began again. I didn't stutter this time. "I'm falling in love with you too," short, sweet, simple.

He smiled faintly but quickly wiped it off. Then he looked at me hopefully but skeptically.

"are you sure?"

"positive," I smiled at him and was quickly grabbed, pulled close and lifted off my feet being twirled around with Jacob whooping for joy.

"oh Bella," he said into my face once he had put me back down on the solid ground. I was kissed lightly then let go.

I couldn't stop smilling. For the next half hour while I fixed our lunch every other second Jacob would kiss me, on the cheek, on the lips, anything he could reach. Jacob couldn't stop smiling either. Now all I had to worry about was when I got to the cliff, if I would have more hallucinations about Edward, what if it made me realize all that I had just done was the wrong thing and I really couldn't love Jake if I knew Edward still existed, somewhere in the universe. I truly hoped that if Edward was really gone from me forever as he had promised, I could really love Jacob with all my heart. He deserved it. He had saved me in so many ways. It was because of him that I wasn't a zombie anymore, that I could somewhat enjoy life. It was probably also his doing that had actually saved my life. I knew it would have only been a matter of time before I had considered suicide. If it weren't for Jacob mending, not healing, my broken heart, I knew I could have never lived. That probably would have killed Edward. Maybe, just maybe, Edward still loved me; that he really believed what he had done to me would save me from his kind. But he didn't know was that by leaving he was only killing me. But now I had Jacob. My safeguard. My shield. Jacob. Even though Edward was gone, there was still someone who loved me. someone who wouldn't leave me. someone who would die for me. someone who I could trust would always be there for me. that had been Edward. Until he left. Now It was Jacob.

My Jacob. It was strange how I had come to see Jacob unconsciously as mine, like he was my property. Like he belonged to me.

And in a way he did, I had his heart. That made me feel better knowing I had his heart. It made me feel safe. Even though there was no way I couldn't feel safe with Jacob around me. My Jacob.

I looked at him beside me eating his lunch, and lightly kissed him on the cheek. His cheeks flamed and he set his food down clumsily, which was surprising because he was so graceful for someone with his height and size, and questioned with his eyes as well with his words.

"what was that for?"

Indifferently. " I just realized that you pretty much belong to me." I stated to his amazement. There was a spark in his eyes. Hope.

"oh I do, now do i?" his look quickly changed to teasing.

"yes, you do. Any objections?" I raised an eyebrow.

"well now that you mention it…" he was abruptly cut off by a kiss which he immediately threw himself into.

"well dang, I guess you're right." He said in mock glumness. He pretended to pout, which was soon erased when I kissed him again.

"I know I am," I laughed when we finally broke apart. His kisses felt to hot that they seared me right to my toes. It felt…right to kiss him. I hadn't been expecting that. his kisses were so much differently than Edwards had been. Edward had always held back saying it was for my health; that he could never lose control around me. he thought I was fragile; which I was…to him. Jacob on the other hand didn't hold back. I was blown off my feet every time. Jacob wasn't afraid of hurting me even though we both knew all too well he certainly could if he wanted to. he just wasn't afraid to hold me tightly like I wanted to be held. It felt like he was holding me together, better than duck tape. I knew he would never make me feel as special as Edward had, but it was for me a very close tie with Edward a little farther ahead. But Jake was catching up.

I spent the rest of the day playing with Jake. Nothing was ever boring around him. Jake was always the life of the party, so I was sad when Billy got back saying Charlie was lonely and waiting for his dinner. So I grudgingly left. I didn't want to leave but Charlie needed me. so I lightly kissed Jacob one more time and headed out the door.

For the first time in a long time I was happy. I was happy and in love.
