" Have you lost your mind ? You are really going to kiss that mutt ? come on ! This is even worse than having sex with Rosalie ? What was her first option that i missed ... try that ? " Alice kept on talking in her mind "Ed , what was the other option that she gave you ? "
" Trust me , you don't want to hear . "Edward spoke through clenched teeth while running full speed towards the quilliete territory .
" That bad ! Then , you can speak to rose ..."
" Shut up ! "
" Better to copulate with a blonde beauty than getting a stinking kiss . Seriously Edward you will gain some sex-perience from the third option . "Edward shuddered at this weird joke . " Listen , I have a paln " alice continued ," You don't have to have sex with Rose , You can just pretend infront of Bella like youe both are having ... "
" Oh , yeah , yeah and then Bella would think I love Rose more than her . And that would really boost her self-confidence . " Edward's replied sarcastically and Alice could see he was correct . It would be immensly harmful for Bella's self confidence and their relationship . In fact not only theirs but also rose and em's . Besides , Rose would never agree to it .
They stopped at the border and waited for jake , who walked lazily towards them .
" What do you want leech ? "Jake's rude and husky voice asked .
" Nice way of greeting someone . "Commented Alice .
Jake just smirked ." So why the hell did you call me ? "
This time Edward spoke up ," We need your help again to protect Bella . "
Jake was now on total -alert -mode ." Another attack ? "
" Not of that kind . "
" Then ? From the Italian killers ? "Jake is completely business-like now .
" No . From herself . You need to save her from herself . "
Jake's brows creased and Edward sighed . He seemed unwilling to continue so Alice spoke up .
" Bella wants something from Edward ... something fataly alluring ... Edward denied to give her that because its simply risky for her . So now she challenged Edward to do something unpleasent ."
Jake was now irritated . " And how do I fit in all these ? "
" You fit in because you have to be his partner in crime . "
Jacob's eyes narrowed at the word ' crime '.
" Well , not a crime like that ... um ..."Edward did'nt know how to phrase it .
" Say it , leech ."
" Um , Bella challenged me to do something with you ..."
" Is it a wrestling match or boxing ? "Jacob asked with half-hearted hope , smirking a little .
" She wants me to KISS you ."Edward said the words fast but clearly .
Jacob's reaction was almost similar to Edward's . He did not know how to react . He was not even sure he heard him right . He was too shocked to have a cohorent thought .
Though Edward did not get a definite ' no ' from him but he could guess from Jacob's reaction what would his answer be - if he could answer in the first place - so without a word or ' goodbye ' ... both Alice and Edward left the stinking part of the forest . And Jacob , well he stood like a statue for sometime and then started to walk towards Embry's house . He was still not sure that he heard him right ."May be, I had a very bad dream"he thought to himself . He almost covinced himself that nothing happened and he was just dreaming . " Or may be I am crazy ." was his last thought before he left the forest .
