I don't own Twilight blah blah blah. . .

I stand back and examine our new shelter. It looks quite good, actually. Well for a shelter made from leaves anyway. I can hear Bella's grunts from behind me and I turn to see what she is doing.

"Bella, what are you doing?" I ask, looking at her rubbing two sticks together ferociously.

"What does it look like?" she asks.

"Uhh, let me help," I say and take the sticks off her before she can answer or respond.

I twist one stick into another and in under a minute I had started a fire. I chuck more wood into a pile to keep it going and Bella has a look of shock/annoyance on her face.

"We can't all have freakishly superhuman powers," she mutters and walks off. I chuckle at her. She hates being beaten.

As the sun begins to set I sit by the fire enjoying the warmth as the forest begins to get cooler. Times like these I wish I had a bag of marshmallows. Bella comes back and sits on the opposite side, staring into the flames. She's probably imagining me burning in them. I wouldn't be surprised.

"Whatcha thinking about, Bells?" I ask.

"You're death," she replies seriously before laughing.

"Oh, I'm hurt," I reply and put on a sad face.

"Aww, I'm sorry Jake. How can I make it up to you?" She asks with big puppy dog eyes. I could stare into them all day. They make me melt into a puddle.

"A hug?" I ask testing her.

"Sure," she says and gets up.

"Wait, I changed my mind," I say and smirk.

"What do you want now?" She asks curiously.

"A kiss," I answer and smile. I watch as she decides what to answer. At first it looks like definently no, then maybe, yes, no, then she looks up at me.

"On the cheek," she negotiates.

"Sure," I reply hoping she can't see through me. She walks towards me and leans down to kiss my cheek. As she reaches I swiftly move my head so I kiss her lips. She stays there for a little too long before breaking the kiss.

"You're bad Jake," she says.

"I can tell you liked every second of it," I reply. She totally did, I'm confident of it.

"Yeah, okay Jake, it's getting late so I'm going to go to sleep," she says and walks towards our shelter before lying down.

"Okay, don't let the bed bugs bite. Especially the creepy-crawlies you get around here like the tarantulas or snakes, not to mention the bot-fly-"

"Ugh, Jake shut up! You know I hate that stuff. Ewww what was that? Something touched my leg and ugh! It's on me, Jake get it off, get it off," Bella screams before running out, swatting at her leg.

"Bella, it was a leaf. You know, the things that drop from the trees above us," I say and peel the leaf off her leg.

"It's your fault, you know I can't stand bugs or spiders," she says, trying to blame it on me.

"Oh yeah, blame it on Jake coz he's the bad guy," I say and look at her. "Now I'm upset so I'm going to bed, are you coming?"

I go to the shelter and lie under it. I hear Bella sigh as she lies beside me. She curls up beside me and falls asleep. I bet she only loves me for my body heat but I can change that. I'll just have to give it time. My mind slows down as I start to drift off. . .


"Arghh," I groan as I get soaked. The shelter must have collapsed. Bella is shivering uncontrollably next to me.

"Why didn't you wake me?" I demanded. How could she not wake me when she was this cold?

"I didn't want to disturb you," she replies between her chattering teeth.

"Ugh, Bella. Hold on," and I hover myself over her, protecting her from the rain. I rest on my forearms so our bodies are pressed against each other, helping her to warm up.

I must not think about what is touching my chest. I must not think about-

You fool. She could get pneumonia and you're too busy thinking about her chest.

"S-so cold," she says in-between gasps of breath and chattering teeth.

"Well, you know body heat warms you up faster so if we took off our clo-"

"Don't even bother," she says, managing to smile.

"Try to get some sleep, I don't want you to be tired tomorrow," I tell her.

"But what about you?" She asks. The shivering quickly subsided.

"I'll be fine. I'll go to sleep after you," I reply.

"No, that's not fair," Bella argues. Just agree already!

"Bella; I'm not going to give up so just sleep already," I demand.

"You can be so persistent sometimes Jake," Bella says before closing her eyes.

A few minutes later I see her slightly open one eye.

"If you think I think you're asleep you're wrong," I tell her. Like Bella could ever outsmart me.

A wrinkle appears between her eyebrows, proving that she's frustrated. She tries to roll over, obviously forgetting that I'm on top of her so her attempt fails. I chuckle as she mutters under her breath.

"Usually even sleep-talking people don't mutter," I say. At that she opens her eyes.

"Can't you ever just give up?" She asks loudly.

"Sorry, that's against the rules of being me," I chuckle. The rain starts to stop and we both sigh in relief.

I roll off of her once it completely stops and brush the hair from her face.

"Would you like me to read you a bedtime story? It might help you to get to sleep," I suggest watching her smile.

"No thanks Jake, I think I can manage without it," she says as she sighs and closes her eyes.

I kiss her forehead and lie back down to go to sleep.

"You are so sneaky sometimes. I can only wonder what you do when I'm actually asleep," she says as she falls asleep. I fall asleep not long after her.


Ugh, I used to think that the trees would filter the sunlight. I now realised I was wrong. It's almost impossible to have a sleep in while in the Amazon. Not that it would've been much of a sleep in any way since last night we were both kept up by the rain. I'm actually quite a bit sleep-deprived but what can I do about it now.

I get up and find Bella is already up. She's an early riser, much unlike me. I need my sleep.

I begin walking to the river when I see Bella.

"Whoa Bella, what are you doing?" I ask, utterly shocked.

Once again, Review, Review and review! (Pretty please with cherries on top)
