Thanks for reading...

Later that night Kells and I reached her parents' house. It was completely deserted and I was worn out. Dancing lasted for hours and my body was still hurting from the sexual torture I went through. I turned my phone back on to see 6 missed calls from Matt. Matt was my boyfriend of 4 years. It was hard letting him go but our relationship was simple. I loved him but I was not in love. I didn't long to be near him and it just was not like the movies. I didn't get butterflies in my stomach whenever he touched me and whenever we had sex I just wanted to roll over and go to sleep. I stayed in the relationship because I was comfortable and afraid of being hurt. I knew Matt would never hurt me and that's what I liked.

Kells tossed a pillow at me in an effort to disturb my daydreaming. I smiled lightly and closed my phone.

"Matt won't stop calling me. It's getting ridiculous," I said.

Kells rolled her eyes.

"That boy is whipped. What kind of loving did you throw at him Bella? I don't understand it. One moment you are just friends and the next moment he's your personal bitch," she said as she wrapped her red hair around in a bun and applied face wash. I stood up and joined her in the bathroom.

"I don't know but I just want him to get the picture. I broke up with him months ago."

"Maybe you should send him a text with Chris Brown's Deuces mp3?"

I laughed lightly, "I want to still be friends. That will crush him."

"Yea well he's a pussy. Was he even good in bed?"

I looked at her with an evil glare, "Language Kells and he was alright in bed but there was not excitement."

"Sorry but it is what it is Bella. So what about Jake? I got a glimpse of him earlier in class, he's hot as hell."

I felt a sudden wave of jealousy come out of nowhere. I didn't want her checking him out. Wait does this mean I like him like him?

I brushed her admiration off and rubbed my face intensely.

"Oh my god," Kells smiled.

I looked at her curiously in the mirror.

"What?"

"You love him."

"I do not love him. Why do you always do this?"

"I don't always do this. Bella you have been in a relationship for four years so this does not happen that often. I'm just soaking your new found love in."

"I don't love him."

"Well you like him right?"

I rinsed my face and headed into the room. She followed me and we sat down.

"I don't want things to get weird and honestly I can't like him too much. Summer is not that long and then I'll have to go back to New York. It will hurt to much to leave and I know that long distance relationships do not work."

"Well keep your guard up. You just got out of a relationship and you are entitled to smile again. I see the way you lit up when he came into the room. I want to see you like that more often."

"I don't want to get hurt."

"And you won't as long as you know your limit."

She was right. It was possible to have a summer fling and not become emotionally affected. Jake and I could be friends with benefits and not feel anything at all. It could be that simple. Things did not have to get complicated.

"You are right. I can have a summer fling and enjoy myself."

"You damn right. What do you think I'm doing with Edward? I'm not in love but he has a mean stroke."

"You are such a slut."

"Look who's talking."

We laughed hysterically.

"Okay so Jake asked me to come back to that club."

"We'll let's get ready. I could use a drink."

I laid my body flat out on the bed and sighed. Even though I wanted the friends with benefits thing to be simple and easy something in the pit of my stomach was telling me keeping it simple was going to be hard. If Jake wanted me something told me he would go to lengths to make me his. That was what I feared the most because somwhere deep inside me I knew I would not resist.

J.P.O.V

I headed to La push to pick up my friend Embry. Bella didn't know I was not working tonight. I just wanted to make her sweat a little. I pulled up to Embry's and got out the car. I took my time getting to the door. I was not in a rush to make it to a club on time. Inside I found Embry in the kitchen feeding his face as usual.

"Bro…watt up?"

Embry turned to face me, "What did I tell you about just walking in my house? I could have had a butt naked…"

I cut him off.

"Em you are not that smooth to have a butt naked anything just walking around. You have no game my friend"

"Hey screw you."

We laughed for a second.

"So what the hell is so important that you need to go to work on your day off? I mean I know it's a club but it's hot as hell in a club and smells like hot breathe and ass."

I smiled lightly, "I imprinted finally."

"You bitch…you been keeping this to yourself?" He joked

"This just happened last night. I was working and so stressed out because I had to break up with another girlfriend. It was becoming depressing. That's 7 girls so far this year. I'm pouring drinks and suddenly out of no where this brunette with a banging body and red lips approach the bar. I was blown away and I knew she was feeling what I was feeling. I watched her all night become one with the dance floor. Her friend bailed on her and I took her home."

"To her home you're your home?"

I smiled lightly, "My home you idiot. I had to make sure I Imprinted. One thing led to another and I didn't want her to leave. But I had to let her go. I didn't want to freak her out or seem clingy."

Embry shook his head, "So what happens now?"

"Time to pull out the charm and make her fall hard. I'm looking forward to showing her who I really am."

"Whatever man.."

"Your acting like a little girl with your jealousy issues."

Embry got dressed and I sat on the couch using all of my will to not call her. When he was done getting dressed it was around 10. it took him about 3 hours to fix his hair. Embry and I head out dressed to kill. I wore my usual all black and Embry was more like a Hollister boy. We were a weird combination but women just clung to us.

We reached the club and quickly went inside. It was jammed packed. I made my way towards the bar. My best friend and beta was working tonight. Lea and I had a rough patch in the begining but she was now the person I felt close to on a friendly level. We approached the bar To find Lea running her mouth to some drunken guy with stringy hair and jean vest.

"Listen…I'm not a stripper and I don't need you to buy me a drink. Toss another dollar bill in my direction that's not for your tab and I'll…"

"Hey lea," I yelled.

She turned and smiled. Embry stiffened up. He sort of had a minor crush on her but in all reality who wouldn't? Her brown hair hung straight at her shoulders and her leather vest hugged her double ds tightly. Her mid drift was clear as day and her low ride jeans were tucked in her boots. Anyone would fall at her feet but not me. I could not imagine not having her as a friend.

"Hey guys," she smiled.

Lea held out her hand and dabbed fists with us.

"You don't work tonight right?"

"Nope."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Jake's bitch ass imprinted," Embry said.

I shoved him a little, "Someone's jealous. But he's right."

Lea's eyes lit up, "Really? Who is she?"

I skimmed the crowd looking for her. There was no Bella in sight. I looked towards the DJ stand and saw a brunette in tight fitting red dress. I could not see her face but the long tresses of hair got my attention. That had to be her. I noticed her friend from last night. She was smiling and talking to the DJ. His name was Edward but we called him E.

"That's her," I said pointing towards the DJ stand.

"Nice," Lea said."I'm impressed."

"Me too. I'll be back."

DJ E spoke loudly on the mic.

Special request from the brunette in the flaming dress…Ciara- Ride.

I stood where I was and watched her make her way to the middle of the floor. Her fiend followed her. She slowed down her stride and started moving erotically. It was amazing how well she moved her body, putting it all on display. The guys watched her like hawk and the girls rolled their eyes. I smiled lightly and watched her. she moved her hips slowly until the beat dropped. I would have given anything to be her dress at that a moment. Her friend joined her in the middle. She danced okay but there was just something about Bella. I made my way over to her. She was too in tune to notice my approach but her friend smiled lightly.

I stood directly behind her and slid my arm around her waist. I leaned forward until my lips were at her ear, "Was that little show for me?"

She smiled lightly, "It depends…did you like it?"

"I can show you how much I liked it in private."

She turned to face me, "Now why would I want you to do that?"

I leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Because you're already wet."

Bella smiled and bit her lip, "This is my best friend Kells."

I waved and turned to Embry.

"This is my best friend Embry."

Embry smiled at Kells. She was so direct and forward, "So Embry are you single?"

"He's always single," I laughed.

"Good. I like always single," she said taking his hand and leading him through the crowd.

I looked curiously at Bella, "She does not waist anytime."

Bella smiled, "Neither do you."

"Your right. So do you want to get out of here?"

She nodded and we headed for the door. I realized I was Embry's ride.

"Oh shit Embry has no ride."

"Don't worry Kells will get him home safely."

B.P.O.V

We reached Jakes car and got in. I actually was sitting on a seat this time and not a penis. But I had to admit the penis felt better. I laughed lightly and Jake turned his attention towards me.

"Did I miss the Joke?"

I shook my head no.

"So what's next?" I asked

"How do you feel about Beaches?"

"I didn't bring my Bathing suit."

"Your birthday suit is fine," Jake winked.

I blushed lightly as we pulled off. We reached the beach. I stared through the car window and took in the view. It was beautiful. The moonlight shined on the ocean in a way that you would only see in a dream. I didn't realize Jake had exited the car and before I knew it he had opened my door and reached out his hand. I took his palm into mines. There was a sudden rush that flood through me. I looked up at him and it was as if I was looking through new eyes. Suddenly I could recognize every feature in his face. I stood mesmerized as I just stared at him not wanting to look away.

Jake smiled brightly, "What are you thinking?" he asked

"It's embarrassing."

"I still want to know."

"I feel like I'm looking into your eyes for the first time. it feels warm and blissful."

"Imprinting..."

"What?... printing what?"

Jake smiled and shook his head led me down the beach and knelt down to unstrapped my heels as the sand consumed my toes. He looked up at me with eager eyes.

"You can't do stuff like this for me."

He stood to his feet, "Why not?" he said caressing the right side of my face

I flinched from the temperature of his hand, "Because I'll fall in love with you."

"I don't mind if you do."

"Well I do. I've been hurt before and it does not feel good."

"Luckily for you I'm not out to hurt you."

He grabbed my waist and pulled me onto the sand with him and cradled me in his arms. It felt so good. Jake gave me butterflies that were hard to contain. So much for not making things complicated. I looked up into his eyes and smiled.

"It's so beautiful here."

Jake was quiet for a moment. I traced the insides of his palms with my fingertips.

"Have you always wanted to become a dancer?"

"My mom said I started dancing before I could walk. So I guess so. It comes natural. I want to dance every second of everyday it's where my heart is."

"So your heart does not belong to some stupid guy?"

"Nope. I want a love that feels like...I can't believe I'm telling you this right now."

"No please continue I'm curious."

"I want it to be like a movie with the heart racing and the butterflies. I want to look in his eyes and watch the world stop around us."

"Everyone wants that kind of love."

"Yea I agree."

"Watching you dance is so serene. It's not like anything I have ever seen."

"Thanks…so what about you? Is there anything your good at besides the obvious?"

"I'm good at messing up everything good in my life. It's pretty complicated."

"You strike me as someone who has a great life."

"Not even close. It's been one hell of a ride taming myself."

"That's because you're not supposed to tame yourself. That's what a woman is supposed to do."

"Oh really?"

"Yes Jake…Love is what tames us as humans."

He moved his face closer to mines and sighed, "We'll why did you take so long to find me?"

I bit my bottom lip and before I could think Jake's lips swallowed mines hole. The logical part of me was screaming how complicated I was going to make things but suddenly I didn't want to think logical anymore. I wanted to live in the moment and right now I shared that moment with him. I felt like the world was glowing and suddenly I wanted Jake more than I had thought. I did not want to leave his side. This was bad…so bad. I knew what my plan was but my heart was no longer cooperating. My heart had its own intentions and it was falling hard and fast.

Jake pulled away and sighed, "I brought you here because I want to show you who I am."

My eyes got wide as he stood to his feet and removed his shirt. My heart was now racing and pounding with questions.

"What do you mean?" I asked

"You're about to find out."
