WARNING: Okay, this is the third chapter, guys. I think any Team Edward or Bella/Edward-shipper would have fled screaming by now. I'm not even gonna bother. XD

Three months. Three months since Bella got my letter. Three months since she admitted she loved me back. Three months since she threw her arms around me and kissed me. Three months since the beginning of forever started.

Two months. Two months since I bought the ring. Two months since I made that life-changing decision.

One month. One month since our moon-lit walk. One month since I got down on one knee and asked Bella to marry me. One month since she said yes. One month since she threw her arms around me and kissed me. One month since the beginning of forever started.

"Jake," Bella droned, her voice as low as a whisper, "Charlie's gonna be back any minute." I just chortled at her breathily, and intentionally let my white-hot breath incinerate the patch of her neck I was nibbling at.

As if Charlie hadn't seen any of this before. He actually liked seeing Bella with me, to be perfectly honest. And he didn't try to hide it. He didn't really like Edward – and he never did try to hide that, either.

Bella and I hardly spoke of Edward and the Cullens. The only time they seemed to prop up was when I was going out on official wolf business and we had to ask Bella if she knew these vampires. Bella may not be with them anymore but the treaty still stands.

If she didn't, we pounced. If she did, and she trusted them, we laid back and let them know – very politely – that this was our territory and if they lay one more stony foot on our land we would eat their toes for breakfast, understand?

Okay, fine. Not entirely politely.

Bella giggled slightly as I took my hands from her waist and slid them down to caress her butt. She twisted her neck away from me in her laughter, knowing that it irritated me. So I squeezed – not entirely gently, I admit, but Bella never complained – her butt and she just giggled even further. Her squirming increased.

"Jake!" She exclaimed, her giggling caught up in her words so she made my name sound like it had more than one syllable, as I caught up her wrists and dove back into her neck.

We swayed on the spot for a moment, not entirely balanced in this position, but Bella kept squirming and giggling, her chest reverberating from each laugh and bubbling up to meet mine. I always loved when she laughed like that. I'd never really seen her laugh that much with Edward, so it was sorta my personal goal to get as many laughs out of her as possible. Edward was always so intense.

So, in wanting to reach my goal, I chuckled a little along with her, knowing how much my laugh got to her. She once explained to me that my laugh was like a ray of sunshine to her, and it always reminded her of her Jacob – whatever that meant. So whenever I laughed, she laughed, too, and in her state of hysteric giggles at this moment, my own added chortle was enough to make her squeal.

And that she did. She squealed in such a high-pitched sound that I was sure all my brothers would have heard it if they were in their wolf-form. Or any other dog in the US of A, actually. Paris Hilton's Chihuahua must be peeing itself with excitement right now.

But little did she know that my acute hearing also picked up on it, making my instincts kick in, so I pulled her gently by the wrists I was still holding, closer to me. Of course, we were already off balance and this jerk of movements along with her squirming and giggling wasn't exactly the best concoction, so involuntarily – we fell.

Good thing we were in the living room and the couch was right behind us, otherwise we would have fell backwards onto the floor.

I knew immediately that we were falling, but I wanted to get more giggles out of Bella, so when she began falling backwards, I fell forward with her, all the while careful not to crush her with my weight. Her knees buckled on the arm of the couch and her head softly hit the cushion.

The shock caught her for a moment; I saw that in her face. It was actually quite amusing. But quickly she realised what had happened and burst into her hysteric laughter again, and I couldn't help but chuckle along with her once more. She didn't squirm under me now, even though I still held softly onto her wrists.

Our laughter died down after a minute or so, until we were just laying there together, silently looking the other right in the eyes.

Bella's eyes flickered to my mouth for just a minute, and the wolf inside me began to howl. She didn't know it, but whenever her eyes flickered like that, my heart would speed up and my hands would become clammy. I could never show this, of course, because I was supposed to be very confident and outgoing. So instead of letting her catch on about my sweaty hands, I freed her wrists of my fingers and reverted back to her waist instead. At the exact same moment, I lowered my head just the slightest and my lips caught hers. And in that same moment, also, her arms locked around my neck and she was kissing me back, urgently.

On countless occasions I'd kissed Bella and touched her like this. And on countless occasions she had kissed me back forcefully, as if her need was greater than mine. So why did it always make my heart thud brutally against my ribs?

I don't know how long we lay there for, just kissing, on Charlie's couch, but eventually, the door clicked open and footsteps came cheerily into the lobby.

"Bells, I'm back, honey!" Charlie called out, presumably up the stairs where he thought Bella may be.

There was a sucking sound, like a plunger being yanked off a wet surface, and Bella hissed ferociously into my ear, "Jake, get off."

I just laughed breathily at her (just like I always do when Charlie is about to catch us making out) and started kissing that same spot on her neck as before. It was starting to look a little red, now.

"Jake, I'm serious, stop it, now," Bella hissed again, her irritated tone fading away as my tongue caressed her skin. I'd never really known why my tongue had this effect on Bella. Was it because it was hotter than the rest of my body? But Bella shuddered beneath me and seemed to forget that Charlie had just come in.

There was a knocking and shuffling sound, and I supposed that Charlie had taken off his jacket and hung up his guns.

"Bells?" He called out again.

The use of her name snapped her back into reality, and she started hissing at me again. She must have realised by now that it was a lost cause. Charlie knew that there was more to our relationship that just this. Hell, he'd been so happy when we announced our engagement, happier than I'd ever seen him. Happier than Renee had been, to be honest.

So Bella should have known that he wouldn't be bothered about us being tangled up on his couch like this.

"Bell– Oh, hey, kids." Charlie said, and I couldn't help the laugh that bubbled through my system and onto Bella's neck as he came in.

"Hey, Dad," Bella said back, in that nervous tone that I always adored. I knew that her cheeks would be blazing up by now. Then her tone changed, to one of a person being crushed slowly, "Jake, get off me, please."

I played along. Of course I wasn't crushing her, I was very careful with my weight. My knees were holding me up away from her, and she hadn't complained before. But, of course, Charlie was here now. And I had to be a gentleman.

God, how did Bella live with that bloodsucker? He always insisted on stopped their business, whatever that might have been (I shuddered in my own skin), before Charlie came in. I'm sure Charlie preferred someone like me, rather than a centuries-old gentleman to be dating his daughter.

Or marrying her, I should say.

I shifted off her for a moment, looking all sullen, and counted down the seconds before I heard Charlie speak again.

"Oh, no, that's fine. You kids are engaged now; it's more than to be expected. I think I'll go visit Billy. See ya, Bells. Bye, Jake."

And then he was gone.

Like always.

I grinned down triumphantly at Bella, and she just rolled her eyes at me. I dove back into her neck again, and her fresh giggles made my heart run wild.

A/N: Hmm... Kinda pointless, yes, but don't you just LOVE the fluffiness? ^_^ I sure do! I don't know what I'm gonna do for the next chapter... I'll think of something, just for you guys.

I hope you're all enjoying this, and I'll try and update as soon as possible. I would really like some more reviews, though. Love you!
