AN: So I've been rereading the chapters and I've noticed some continuity errors and such. On that note would anyone care to beta this story? Let me know. And I don't own Twilight.
"So do you wanna go out with me?" I was standing in Bella's kitchen as she concocted one of her many recipes for dinner for her, Charlie, and I.
"You know I would, but I already have a boyfriend." Bella replied with a laugh as she fiddled with some knobs on the stove.
"No, I'm serious. I want to take you out on a real date." Bella and I hangout almost every day, we rode our motorcycles, we went swimming at the beach, we hung out with the pack. Which was all good, but we rarely went out just the two of us. I figured it was high time we went out like a real couple. "I was thinking dinner and a movie?"
"Dinner and a movie?" she asked with a smirk. Since when does Bella smirk? Must be something she picked up from me, I thought smirking myself. "You are such a dating cliché. Luckily I'm a fan of the cliché. I'd love to go on a date with you." she said smiling that smile that I loved. She walked over to where I was standing by the archway to the living room and leaned against the wall.
"Okay good. I was thinking we could go up to Port Angeles. There's this new sushi place that's supposed to be really good." I suggested.
The smirk was back. "Sushi? I thought it was cats that loved fish."
"Ha-ha you're such a comedian Bells. Now that's enough making fun of me, seriously it's very emasculating." I said with mock hurt. "You better show your man some respect." I growled playfully, bringing my arms up on either side of her to trap her in between my body and the wall.
"Oh yeah? And what if I don't?" she asked grinning deviously. And moving faster than I thought possible for Bella she ducked under my arms and ran to the far side of the room.
"Well then you'll be in trouble," I answered, stalking over to where she stood slowly but purposely.
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, right?" she teased me.
I reached the spot where she stood watching me with amused eyes. Before she could react I picked her up as if she weighed nothing at all - which compared to my strength she didn't - and slung her over my shoulder.
I could imagine her eyes widening in shock. "Jake! What are you doing? Let me go!" she exclaimed.
I walked over to the couch and gently laid her down, but I didn't release my hold on her. I hovered over her, holding her captive with my arms wrapped around her body.
"Not until you repeat after me. Jacob Black is the sexiest guy I have ever seen and I will never make fun of him again."
She shook her head, refusing to play along, a glib smile playing across her features.
"My mom always taught me that it's wrong to lie."
"Hmm, I didn't want to resort to this, but you leave me no choice Bella."
She eyed me warily, wondering what I was up to. I untangled one of my arms from around her body and used my free hand to begin tickling her mercilessly. Immediately she began to squirm away from me, laughing as she attempted to push my hands away.
"Stop! Jake!" she said breathlessly.
"Not until you say it," I said, still tickling her without pause.
"Fine, fine you win." she panted out of breath from laughter and continued grudgingly. "Jacob Black is the sexiest guy I have ever seen and I will never make fun of him again."
I grinned triumphantly. "Damned straight," I stilled my hand and let it rest on Bella's hip where her shirt had risen up slightly exposing a sliver of her creamy white skin.
"You're evil,"
"Mm, you love me." I said as I leaned closer to bring our lips together. I pulled her closer towards me with the arm that was still wrapped around her waist. She responded immediately sucking my bottom lip in between hers, fighting for dominance, but I wasn't about to give in. She wrenched her right arm free from where my arm held it tightly against her body and brought both hands up to thread through my hair. I smirked into the kiss; she sure had a thing for my hair. I sighed; I would neverget enough of this. I slowly slipped the hand that was still resting on Bella's hip under her shirt and splayed it out across her flat stomach. Bella hummed her approval spurring me forward. I maneuvered my hand upwards, pausing momentarily silently asking permission to continue.
"Bella," Charlie's voice called out. "Are you home?"
Quickly I jumped up from the couch. Somehow I didn't think Charlie would be too pleased to find me in his living room, laying over Bella attempting to cop a feel. And I figured being threatened with his gun once was more than enough. Following my lead Bella jumped up from the couch patted down her hair and made her way back into the kitchen. I trailed behind as she greeted her dad.
"Hey dad, I was just finishing up with dinner." she said, stirring the contents of a pot as if to prove her point.
I knew Charlie hadn't missed us walking out from the living room, but he just nodded his head.
"Mhm, I'll be down in a minute."
As soon as Charlie was up the stairs and out of earshot Bella turned to me.
"You don't think he knew do you?" Bella asked desperately.
"Oh he definitely knew,"
She buried her face in her hands. "Oh my God, this is so embarrassing." she moaned through her fingers.
I laughed; she was so damn adorable when she was embarrassed.
"Bella, relax it's not like he actuallywalked in on us."
She scowled at me. "Don't you laugh at me Jacob Black. Why aren't you embarrassed by this?"
"Um because I'm normal?" I said with a laugh, ignoring her previous directions to notdo just that. And before she could say anything else I waved my hands around the kitchen and said,
"Now what can I do to help?"
"Okay so I left some money on the counter and my cell phone number is on the fridge." Billy said as he wheeled around the garage grabbing his fishing gear. He and Charlie were going on a fishing slash camping trip at Olympic National Park in Port Angeles for the day. "Oh and make sure you lock the doors at night." he added.
I raised my eyebrows and shot him a look. As if anyone I should be cautious about would be deterred by locked doors.
He rolled his eyes realizing what he just said.
"Oh just do it, it'll make me feel better."
"Okay, okay," I agreed, not wanting him to rescind his decision to leave me alone at the house for the night. I heard Charlie's cruiser pulling in the driveway and I patted my dad on the back, urging him out the door.
"You boys have fun now and don't get into too much trouble." I joked.
He snorted. "Yeah we'll do that. See you tomorrow."
I poked my head out the door and waved to Charlie as he helped my dad load his stuff into the car. I closed the door and listened as they drove away. The very second I couldn't hear the cruiser anymore my front door burst open and Quil, Embry, and Seth practically fell into my house.
"What the fuck?" I said in confusion.
Embry held up a 24 case of beer. "Party time! Duh,"
"Embry it's ten am.."
"Not now you idiot, tonight. The old man's out of town and we haven't had a party in forever. So it's perfect." he said grinning.
"Dude I can't tonight, I'm going out with Bella."
All three guys groaned.
Quil shoved me. "Come on man reschedule. When are we going to have another opportunity like this?" He put his arm around Seth. "Plus the kid here's never been to a real party. We gotta show him how it's done."
Seth pushed him off. "Shut up Quil."
"I can't reschedule. Plus who says I want to host a party? That shit is always trouble."
"Ugh, you suck Jake." Embry said.
"Dude you're so whipped." Quil put in.
I patted Quil and Embry on the head patronizingly. "It's okay; you'll understand when you're older."
"Uh, I may or may not have already spread the word that you were having a party Jake." Seth said sheepishly.
"What? Why would you do that without asking me first?" I asked advancing on Seth.
He held up his hands in surrender. "Embry and Quil said that you'd jump at the chance to have a party."
I pressed my fingers hard into my temple. "Ugh, fine have the party. But you better have everything cleaned up by noon tomorrow, because I'm not cleaning shit. And if anything gets broken one of you retards is paying for it."
Embry pumped his fist in the air. "Yes! It's time to fuck shit up!"
I rolled my eyes. "Do you even hear yourself talk?"
"So how do you feel about a party later?" I sat on Bella's bed as she put the finishing touches on her makeup, which in my opinion she didn't even need.
"A party? Who's having a party?" Bella questioned.
"I am sort of," I explained to Bella how the guys had sprung the party on me earlier his afternoon.
"Hmm sure, a party could be fun." She took one last look in the mirror and apparently satisfied, turned to me and said with a grin. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go on our first date!"
I put my arm around her shoulders. "Okay. You look beautiful by the way." I said as I leaned down to give her a peck on the lips.
"Thanks," she said sounding unbelieving. Did she really not realize how gorgeous she was?
Half an hour later I pulled up to the restaurant in my Rabbit. I walked over to open Bella's door and held me hand out for her.
"My lady," I said in a terrible British accent.
Bella laughed at my cheesiness, but played along.
"Why thank you kind sir," she said and reached her hand out daintily to take mine.
"The pleasure's all mine," I said returning to my normal voice for the benefit of everyone in earshot.
We walked into the restaurant and a waitress took us to our table. She took our drink orders and before she walked away she turned to me and said.
"Just let me know if there's anything I can get you." She winked and brushed up against me purposefully on her way by. I watched her retreat in shock. What the fuck? Did she not notice me walking in here hand in hand with Bella?
"Bitch," Bella hissed through her teeth.
I threw back my head and laughed. I loved when Bella cursed and when she got jealous. That was just the best of both worlds.
"Hey wanna make her squirm when she gets back?" I asked.
"Fuck yeah," Bella agreed instantly. There she goes again.
"Okay, here she comes. Come here," I leaned across the table towards Bella and threaded my fingers through her hair pulling her lips towards mine. As soon as our lips met Bella started to kiss me in earnest, staking her claim. And I'm not ashamed to say I didn't mind one bit. The waitress cleared her throat loudly and Bella started to pull away, but I held her close for a few seconds longer. We finally broke away and Bella gasped for air. I turned to the waitress with a shit eating grin.
"Sorry about that I just can't keep my hands off my sexy girlfriend." I said putting emphasis on the word girlfriend just as she had emphasized anything. She rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed.
"Yeah, whatever. Here's your drinks." she said practically throwing them at us. Well that should do the trick.
I turned back to Bella. "That was fun,"
The rest of dinner passed without incident. The waitress was just as rude to me as she originally was to Bella, which suited me just fine. The bitchy waitress brought us our bill and Bella started to pull her wallet out of her purse.
"Bella what are you doing? I'm not going to take you out for dinner and let you pay." I said pushing her wallet away.
"But Jake, I have a job and you don't." she protested.
"Bella, I'm paying." I said firmly, but not unkindly.
"Okay, thanks." she said stroking my forearm.
"Anything for you baby."
After I paid the bill and sweetly and sarcastically thanked the waitress for her great service we made our way back to my car and took off to the theatre.
I tapped my fingers rhythmically on the arm rest as I waited impatiently for the movie to begin. When it finally started I rested my hand on Bella's thigh and paused to see if she would move away. When she didn't I took this as a sign to continue and I pushed the boundaries even further. I slid my hand further up her thigh moving under her skirt, inching higher and higher until..
"Jake!" she hissed under her breath, slapping my hand away.
"What?" I asked, feigning innocence.
"You know what! We're in public, there are kids here!" she said trying to sound appalled which wasn't very effective when she was whispering.
"I wasn't gonna do anything. Geez Bella, get your mind out of the gutter." I teased her.
She straightened her skirt looking flustered. "I can't help it if you always put my mind there!"
I laughed and raised my eyebrows. "Oh really?"
I couldn't see her in the darkness of the theatre but I knew she was blushing. "That's not what I meant."
"Mm sure," I leaned over and kissed her on the lips, drawing her in. I darted my tongue out to lick her lips and she opened her mouth obligingly. She brought her hands up to run through my hair. I reached up to untangle her hands and pulled away. She looked at me confused and breathing hard. I leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Watch the movie, Babe."
She glared at me. "I hate you, Jacob Black."
"Sure, sure," I replied, laughing at her attempt to sound menacing.
A few people in front of us turned around to glare in our direction, wordlessly telling us to shut up. Chastised, I brought my attention back to the movie. What was it that we decided to see again? Fuck if I knew.
When Bella and I pulled up to my house at about midnight the party was already in full swing. And by the looks of things most people were already wasted. The music was blaring and someone had started a fire in the fire pit. Probably not a good idea around all these drunk people.. Fuck I just got here and I was already stressed. Just another reason I didn't want to throw this party. I needed a drink.
"Shit Jake, I didn't know you knew this many people." Bella said looking around at the horde of people gathered in my backyard.
I looked around seeing unfamiliar face after unfamiliar face. "Neither did I.." I scanned the crowd looking for any of the pack. I found Embry and Quil by the fire chatting up a couple girls. "Come on, let's go steal some of Embry or Quil's alcohol."
As we approached Quil started yelling. "Jakeeee," he said drawing out my name. "Finally you're here!" he screamed in my ear.
I backed up covering my ears. "Quil, shut up I'm standing right next to you. Now where's your alcohol."
He pointed a shaky hand towards my house. "Fridge,"
"Okay sweet. I'm stealing some." I informed him.
"Aww come on man." he complained staggering towards me.
"Just remember I didn't wanna throw this party. Plus it doesn't look like you need anymore." I said eying him up and down.
"Fine, but you owe me." Quil called after me as I walked away. I rolled my eyes. I owed him, yeah right.
I reached the fridge and grabbed a couple beers and handed one to Bella.
"So I figure I should go make the rounds, say hi to people. Play the host, you know." I said, none too pleased. "Do you wanna come?"
"I think I'll stay here, maybe join that game of flip cup over there." she said with a laugh as she pointed to my living room where Seth, Jared and what looked like a couple of friends of Bella's from school were gathered around a table. Fuck was everyone here?
About an hour and 5 beers later I was standing talking to some guys from my high school. Despite the fact that I was 5 beers deep I was hardly even buzzed. Being 6"7' and 280 pounds coupled with the fact that I was a werewolf gave me a very high tolerance for alcohol. I spotted Bella walking towards me stumbling slightly. Was that a result of her being drunk or just his natural clumsiness? When she reached me she tugged on my arm hard. I stumbled away from the group of people I was talking to, mumbling a goodbye. I looked at her questioningly.
"Let's go to your room," she said regarding me with abstract intensity, still tugging on my arm.
"Uh why? The party's out here." I said gesturing to my backyard.
She looked at me meaningfully, waiting for me to catch on.
Oh. Oh. My eyes widened as the comprehension dawned. She wanted to go to my room.
"Bella are you sure? I don't want to take advantage of you or anything."
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm not even drunk, just a little tipsy." As she said those words she tripped over her own feet on the level ground right before the steps of my porch. I eyed her dubiously.
"Just tipsy huh?"
"I'm always clumsy, you know that."
Did I ever.
I hesitated still. She said she wasn't drunk. But isn't that what drunk people always say? She didn't seem drunk and she was the one propositioning me, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that I would be taking advantage of the situation. I decided to throw caution to the wind and just spend the night with the girl I loved.
"Well just as long as you're sure you won't regret it in the morning.." I said my hand on the doorknob of the door to my room.
"I won't. How could I regret it? I love you more than anything in the world. I want this with you."
"I love you too, Bella. You're everything to me." I took Bella's hand and led her into my room, closing and locking the door behind us.
AN: So praise, constructive criticism, questions? Review! Thanks.
