I don't own nothing of Stephanie's blah blah

Please review, it makes my day!

Edward was driving me to the border for my first day with Jake. I only decided to go along with this because I knew it didn't matter what Jacob did. I would never love him the way I loved Edward.

"I'm going to miss you." he said, stopping the car a few feet away from where Jacob stood with a happy grin on his face. "I love you, Edward." I said, leaning in to kiss him until I had no breath left. The look on his face was enough to make me want to just turn around and go back home…where we could be with each other and not have to worry about bets and all this stupid nonsense.

"As soon as you're ready to come home, call me and say the word. I'll be waiting here at the border in a heartbeat." "It's not going to work." I murmured, staring into Edward's beautiful golden eyes. "I know. I'm not afraid….I love you, Bella Marie. Go on, Jacob is waiting." I wrinkled my nose playfully at the sound of Jacob's name. Edward smiled. I got out of the car and waved at Edward until he was out of sight.

I turned to find myself standing chest to chest with Jacob. I quickly took a step back. "God, Jake, don't scare me like that!" I snapped. "Hello to you to you too, Bells. Hug?" he smiled, stretching out his long arms. I hugged him but quickly removed myself when his arm got a little too tight. "This isn't gonna be easy." Jake grimaced. "Sure isn't." I smiled tightly.

Day one of the Bet was actually pretty fun. I missed Edward of course. But after riding motorcycles, walking along the beach, and handing Jake tools in the garage while he worked, I had a pretty good time.

It was dark when he ventured out of the garage. "I don't trust you to go back to Charlie's. Doesn't that leech visit you every night?" Jake suspiciously. I laughed. "Yes. I'll stay here if you want cause Charlie is out of time and I don't want to be alone. Edward said part of the bet was that if I went home he wasn't to come over. Edward won't break his word, no matter how much he wants to."

"Well, you can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch." Jake smiled happily. "No Jake. Just to assure you that I don't want you that way," Jake's lip trembled and I hurried to get the rest out, "I will sleep in your bed…with you. You said you got a queen size."

Jake's eyes sparkled with excitement as we went back inside. "It's gonna be funny when all that happens is sleep." I giggled. This was pretty fun. I changed into old pajamas while Jake helped his dad Billy to bed. I was already wrapped up in Jake's black comforter when he got back. The bed used up all the space in the small room with a small closet that held Jacob's few clothes and video games.

The happiness was a living thing around Jacob as he climbed into bed beside me. I scooted to the far edge. "The bloodsucker would hate this." Jake chattered happily. I thought about that. Was that wrong? I missed Edward. "Can't I hold you? I have before and you didn't really mind. Or…are you afraid to touch me? Ha ha, you're probably scared you'll fall in love from being in my big, strong, warm arms." Jake laughed.

I was forced to give in to prove him wrong. I had to admit his touch felt good as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. He sighed in contentment and fell asleep soon after.
