"Be careful there, Erik. You make a wrong move with her and you're dead." He warned him, his voice sounded teasing but his face was dead serious. Erik made a face and turned to look somewhere else. "Hey, Edward, you should come over by my house today. So I can show the CD we were talking about,"

"Won't your sister get mad though?" I asked.

"Nah, she brings her friends along all the time, why would she get mad at me for bringing mine?"

"I don't know, I was just asking." He laughed a little and then went to vote for the new king and queen.

"You like her too don't you?" Erik asked out of nowhere.

"Who?"

He smiled. "Bella, but she won't even look at you. I saw you flirting with her earlier, it was a worthless effort. She's gonna be mine, sooner than later." That made me crack. He had finally showed who he really was hadn't he?

"That's if I can't avoid it." He grinned.

"Are you threatening me Edward Cullen?" I grinned right back.

"I'm just laying the cards on the table Erik Night." I sneered his last name.

Lunch was crazy, Jay seemed so…happy. I asked him what was up with him but he said he'll tell me later he made me wait with him for a long time then the bell rang and he said he'll tell me after school. I was a little overwhelmed with all the nomination things going on. We were getting the results on prom. I was so excited, prom was next week! The rest of the day was a blur. I got out of my US History class, and I was about to call Mathew so he could pick me up when I saw Erik waiting for me, right outside. When he saw me he smiled.

"You weren't planning to ditch me were you?" he asked teasingly.

"Of course not, why would I?" he got closer.

"I don't know, you tell me." The just as he had come nearer he backed away slowly. "Did you tell your brother?"

"About..?"

"About you going to the park with me?"

"No, but I will. Hold up," and before he could reply I saw Jay approaching me.

"Hey Bells, what you up to?" I smiled and pat him on the back.

"I'm going to the park with Erik, I'll be home later, 'kay?" Jay's smiled faded and turned into a frown.

"Fine," I was about to walk away with Erik when Jay grabbed my arm gently. "Go on, wait for him by the gate. There's something I have to tell him." I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of their sockets, Jay had never acted so…so…overprotective. I nodded curtly and gave Erik an apologetic smile, then walked away. As soon as I walked away Angela stopped me.

"Hey, where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going to the park with Erik, but I have to wait for him because Jay decided to start being the protective brother and he's talking to him.

Jay's POV

After Angela and I left Bella at the cafeteria, I knew I had to do it now or it would be too late. So I put together all the courage I could and as we walked to the library I started walking slower.

"So…Angela, I've been meaning to ask you something since…well…a very long time ago." Ugh, I sounded like a moron. Couldn't I have phrased it better? Angela kept walking slowly but I saw her beautiful brown eyes winded a little, she glanced at me for a second and suddenly she decided she wanted to look at her hands. I thought I saw a little bit of hope in her eyes, but I couldn't be sure.

"Go ahead," I stopped walking. Angela stopped as soon as I did and she turned to look at me, curious.

"Well, we've known each other for a long time. Enough time, for me to start to care about you." Her eyes winded a little, shocked. I didn't know how to keep talking without sounding stupid. "Okay, so, care was not the word I meant to say. More like...well…" Be a man. "I like you Angela. I like you a lot. I like you since the first time I ever saw you, but I was too much of a coward to admit it at first. When I finally admitted I liked you, well, I was scared to tell you. I knew that if I didn't tell you now, later you might meet another guy and he might beat me to the punch …" I stopped babbling. "Would you be my girlfriend, Angela?" she was staring at me with huge eyes.

A smile crept on her lips. "I thought you'd never ask, what took you so long?" I knew it was too soon for a kiss. She deserved respect, so I hugged her tight and picked her up from the ground and started twirling around. She had her arms around my neck, holding tight. When I set her back on the ground I looked at her in the eyes. Her face was inches from mine; she put her forehead against mine and closed her eyes. I breathed in her delicious scent, closing my eyes as well.

She smiled "Jay, I like you too. I like you a lot, since the first time I saw you." I saw her blush, and I couldn't help the smile that broke on my face. I was radiating with happiness.

"Do you mind if we tell your sister?" she asked.

"I don't mind, we can tell her right now if you want." She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. Well, it was more like the corner of my mouth.

"I like you, I really do, but can we take it slowly." She looked a little afraid of what I was going to say.

I sighed just for the show, and she hesitated. "Angela, we're in no rush. We can take it as slow as you want. Whenever you're ready, I'll be ready." She seemed so relived that I chuckled.

She stared into my eyes. "You are so different from the other guys, in a good way. You're not like some jerks out there." I touched her face.

"Of course I'm not, but I do have my flaws of course. I should warn you, I'm a little protective of the people I care about; that could qualify as being a jerk sometimes." She laughed.

"Can we tell your sister now? I could text her to come meet us…"

"Like I said, we can tell her whenever you want." So she grinned and texted her.

"Where is she meeting us?" I asked curiously.

"Umm…by the nomination table. I have to type something in the library, don't tell her anything yet. Can you wait for me there with her?"

"Sure thing," I kissed her forehead and walked to where Bella would meet me.

I couldn't believe it! I finally had the courage to tell her and she feels the same! It took me long enough…

I saw Erik and Edward standing in front of the nomination table, staring. I walked towards them.

"What are you two staring at?" Erik didn't turn to look at me but Edward did.

"I was just thinking who I wanted to nominate, you?" I noticed he avoided my question but at least he was paying attention to me.I turned to Erik and saw him staring at Bella, oh hell no. I smacked him on the head.

"Be careful there, Erik. You make a wrong move with her and you're dead." I know he got the warning behing my teasing tone because he made a face and turned away.

"Hey, Edward, you should come over by my house today. So I can show the CD we were talking about," I asked Edward.

"Won't your sister get mad though?" I don't know why I have the feeling he had something for Bella.

"Nah, she brings her friends along all the time, why would she get mad at me for bringing mine?"

"I don't know, I was just asking." He seemed like a nice enough guy, and I know I told Bella he wasn't a player, but I met him today too. I could be wrong. I laughed at the prospect of Edward not liking my sister. There's hardly any guys around who don't like her.

I knew that she would probably be the queen, but I went to the nomination table to vote for her anyway. She was right there, looking at me weird.

"What?" I asked.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" so she noticed…

"I'll tell you later," I made her wait and wait for Angela without telling her who we were waiting for. She never got there, so when the bell rang I told her I'll tell her after school.

The day dragged and I already wanted to see Angela. When the bell rang my phone vibrated.

From: Angela

Srry bout lunch, I was so busy. Can we tell bella now?

To:Angela

It's alright, and yes we can. Let me go catch up to her. meet me der.

From: Angela

KAY! THXS!

I saw Bella outside her eight hour class talking to Erik. Of course; he has something between his hands, I can feel it. I walked towards them, and Bella turned to look at me.

"Hey Bells, what you up to?" I asked innocently.

"I'm going to the park with Erik, I'll be home later, 'kay?" I frowned. I knew it, but she had to wait for Angela so I had to do something.

"Fine," Bella started turning but I took her arm gently. "Go on; wait for him by the gate. There's something I have to tell him." Her eyes winded but she nodded and walked away.

"What's up Jay?"

"Listen, I've known you for quite some time. Yes, you are my friend, but I know how you can act sometimes, I know you like to gamble; don't make a mistake Erik. I might look nice and friendly, but don't be too sure…I won't always be this friendly." Then I just walked away to where Bella and Angela were standing.

"Angela says you have something to tell me," said Bella. She waited, expectantly; I put my arm around Angela's waist.

She gasped. "Oh-My-GOSH!" she put her hand on her mouth. I grinned and wound my other arm around Angela, she placed her hand on top of the hand I had around her. Bella started jumping up and down. "Finally, what took you two so long? Congrats!" We all laughed and Erik joined us.
