"Okay start the engine Quil." I instructed as I stood back from the car.
I watched in determination as the engine came to life. However, before I could congratulate myself, black smoke filled the air causing me to cough. I moved my hands back and forth trying to air out the area.
"Whoa, Quil turn it off!"
I sighed in frustration looking under the hood wondering what went wrong as Quil shut the car door joining me.
"Well, so much for that, how about we take a break and watch the game with your dad?"
I took my sweat and oil covered shirt off, wiping my sweaty forehead with it before draping it on my shoulder.
"No thanks man, I think I'm going to take a shower."
Quil held his nose up in disgust.
"Yeah, that's a good idea, you stink man."
I playfully pushed him as we laughed on our way out of the garage.
It wasn't till we made it half way to the house that I stopped in my tracks.
"Mmm, something smells good." I said sniffing the air.
Quil turned his nose up in protest.
"Please tell me your joking man, it stinks."
"What?"
I gave him a weird look as he continued.
"No wonder, the bloodsuckers here."
I snapped my head around to see none other than Edward Cullen coming over with someone.
I could help but smile as Bella came into view. My excitement got the better of me as I jogged over leaving Quil in his spot.
As soon as I was in arm's length I pulled her into a tight hug. She laughed at first but soon her amusement was turned into disgust as she noticed my sweaty form.
"Ewe, Jacob, your all sweaty." She said making a face as she wiped her hands off on her jeans.
"Yeah, will I've been working on the car all day, what do you expect?"
Edward soon caught up with us, taking Bella's hand in his as if to silently make his claim. I tried not to roll my eyes at his lame gesture.
Okay I get it, Bella's yours, quit rubbing it in.
Edward suddenly smirked, telling me he read my mind. My relaxed form instantly turned stiff realizing Edward would always have the upper hand with his gift.
Damn him and his gift.
Edward let out a chuckle causing all eyes to land on him. Bella eyed him strangely as Quil finally caught up joining us.
"What's so funny?" Bella asked intrigued as I gave Edward a hard look causing his chuckles to stop. However, the smirk never left his face.
"Nothing love, just heard something funny."
Bella quickly let it go turning her attention back to me.
"So the car still won't start huh?"
Quil chipped in before I could.
"Nope, been working on it for days, I keep telling Jake to have a real mechanic look at it, but you know how stubborn he is."
I glared over at Edward as he started to laugh again.
"What are you laughing at; you're just as stubborn as he is, maybe even more." Bella pitched in.
I busted out laughing at Edward's hurt face towards Bella's words.
Take that Vamp!
He suddenly changed from hurt to annoyed as he turned his gaze to me.
"I have an idea, why don't you have Edward help you?" Bella surprisingly suggested.
Edward and I both turned towards Bella in shock. I couldn't help as a couple of chuckles escaped at her bad idea.
"You're kidding right?" I asked between chuckles.
Bella of course true to form got defensive.
"Why not, you two are going to be spending more time together anyways. Why not start now? You might even like hanging out together."
"I highly doubt that, besides he doesn't even know anything about cars." I insisted pointing to him in disgust.
Edward suddenly woke up from his shock state getting defensive.
"Excuse me, but I don't have to prove anything to you, but for you information, I will have you know Rosalie taught me all there is to know about cars. I bet I know more than you do." Edward snapped, crossing his arms to his chest.
I turned to Quil as we both busted of laughing.
"Yeah, sure."
Bella stepped in trying to work her magic. "So why don't you try to work together? You might actually get done faster."
I quit my laughter putting a hand on Bella's shoulder, trying to be comforting.
"Bella, with all due respect, we are never going to get along, that's just the way it is."
Bella sighed in defeat as Edward came to her rescue, trying to make me look like the bad guy.
"We could try, unless you're too stubborn." He said trying to sound sincere. However, I could still hear the smirk in his voice.
Stupid Bloodsucker!
"Fine, I will try, for you Bella."
Bella suddenly lighted up, embracing me in a hug.
"Oh, thank you, seriously though, you need a shower."
"Yeah, yeah."
I held Bella a little longer than necessary knowing it was bugging Edward. I took the time to get a whiff of Bella's sweet scent.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the great aroma I got a whiff of earlier wasn't from Bella, which perplexed me.
It wasn't till I felt Edward grab Bella from me that his scent hit me.
"That's enough, dog." He said through clinched teeth.
"Edward calm down, it was just a hug."
"Let's go Bell; Charlie will wonder where you are."
She sighed in defeat before agreeing.
"I'll see you later Jake."
I just stood there watching them leave when the realization hit me. It wasn't Bella's scent that I smelt earlier, it was Edward's. Edward's scent smelt good to me.
What the hell is going on?
