Chapter Nine.

I leaned up against the counter coffee in hand and stared at the ground. Thinking.

There's that word again. Thinking. I do too much of it.

My eyes flickered from the tiled floor to the telephone and back. I started tapping my foot.

After a moment, I kicked myself off the counter and walked my way over to the telephone, I leaned my elbow on the table it was on before I picked it up and dialed the number.

"Bella?" Of course she would know it's me calling.

"When do you see Edward coming back?" I tangled the telephone wire around my finger as I spoke evenly.

There was a pause. "Later today. He wants to talk to you again." I bit the inside of lip.

"Okay, Alice. Do me favor. "

I waited for her response. "Alright." She said almost hesitantly.

"Tell him to come see me immediately. How far is his mind reading distance?"

"Quite a few miles. If he's nearing La Push, I'll be able to tell him. " I heard some shuffling around and nodded to myself.

"Alright. Thank you, Alice." I hung up the phone before she could say anymore.

I smiled to myself and ran up the stairs to my room to get myself dressed. I slipped the comfortable cotton tee over me and it fit snug over my jeans. I quickly put my hair up in a messy ponytail that hung nicely. I smiled to myself and jogged my way back downstairs. I stopped by the telephone to pick it up and dial another number, when the phone rang.

"Hello?" My forehead creased. Who would be calling?

"Bella." Alice growled into the phone.

"Yes?" I asked sweetly.

"Don't do it." She knew. Great.

"Payback is a bitch, Alice. Even you should know that." I was ready to hang up the phone again.

"I'll stop you."

"No, You wont."

"Oh, really?" I could literally see her eyebrows raising. "I could either physically stop you. Or I could stop Edward. Which would you rather have?"

"Neither. Because you wont stop this from happening." I was standing my ground.

"And how are you going to bet against me, Bella? You and I both know that isn't likely. I'm your worst predator, I could have you kidnapped and held against your will without much of a fight. I know you know that too."

I swallowed. "I need to do this, Alice. You wanted me to forgive him right? Well in order to do that, I have a few things to do in return. You can't expect me to forgive him that easily, can you? No. It just doesn't work like that. I love him, yes. With all my heart. But that doesn't mean I can let him off the hook for something like that. I'm sorry, Alice. Don't stop me." With that I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

She wouldn't come, right? She wouldn't be that stupid. Right. She wouldn't. She couldn't. She'd do what I asked and make sure everything goes the way she wants to be. For once I had plans of my own. And I wasn't about to have them ruined by a small pixie like herself.

I took another deep breath and picked up the phone again. My glance flickered the wall clock. 11:37. He'd be up, Right? I hoped.

"Hello?" Billy.

"Hey Billy. Is Jake there?" I asked casually.

"He's sleeping right now, Bella. Can I take a message?"

Damn. "Could you wake him up…?" I tried my best innocent act possible to persuade him.

I heard him sigh in the background. "One second, Bella." Some ruffling. A door creaking open. Distant voices. A groan. Yes.

"Hello?" A different voice answer. A sleepy voice. A very, very familiar voice.

"Jacob." I breathed into the phone.

"Bella?" His voice cheered up. I smiled. "What's up?"

"Ah, nothing. I was wondering if you could do me the honors by spending some quality time with me on this fine day." I giggled internally to myself.

I could hear him laughing softly on the other end. "Sounds good, Bella. I'll be there as soon as I can, Alright?"

"Perfect." With that, we said our goodbyes and hung up the phone.

I smiled.

I walked over to the couch and sat down.

I heard a slight click and looked up. I gasped.

"Alice! What are you doing here?!" She looked as angry as ever.

"Stopping you." She walked a few steps closer.

"Oh, no you're not." I stood up.

"Oh really, Bella? And who's going to stop me, You? Human Bella." She chuckled. "That should go over well."

"I need to do this Alice."

"No, You don't."

"If I don't I wont forgive you NOR Edward. Make your choice Alice and quick because Jacob is coming soon."

She stood there with her hands on her hips, biting her lip. "I get to stay."

"No."

"Wait. If Edward doesn't react like you hope, let me bet here to calm him down and explain. We don't want him trying to kill himself again, do we?"

She had me there. I sighed. "Fine. You stay outside though. Knowing Jacob and his sense of smell, he'll know if you're here when he comes in."

"Won't he smell me in the woods anyhow?"

I frowned. "Run a ways down and come back in a bit."

She nodded then glared at me. "This better turn out how you hope, Bella. With Jacob involved, I can't see much anymore."

I smiled. "Goodbye, Alice."

With that, She was gone.

I smiled with triumph and sat back on the couch before there were knocks on the door. "Come in!" I shouted.

In came Jacob. I smiled immediately. He wore his khaki pants as usual, barefoot, but wearing a shirt this time.

I glanced at the clock as I walked over to him and threw my arms around him. "I'm so happy you came." I whispered in his ear and I could feel him tense a bit as his arms went around my waist.

"Of course I came, Bella." He breathed against my neck and I pulled away with a grin.

"So! What do you want to do?" I glanced back at him as I walked away slowly, making sure to swing my hips a little.

"Movie?" I could feel his gaze on me.

"Perfect." I flashed him a grin and crouched down in front of the DVD player and picked out a movie.

"How does Blood and Chocolate sound?" I chuckled quietly and smiled at him.

"You're a funny one, Bella. But go right ahead. I'd like to hear what they have to say about me." He grinned and I returned it happily.

I slipped in the movie and sat beside him. After a moment I moved myself closer and rested my head on his shoulder. His arm slipped around my shoulders.

I smiled and tried to breath evenly as is warm skin pressed against mine.

The movie went along smoothly and I glanced at him quite a few times and saw that he was looking at me at some points as well. Naturally, I blushed and looked away. He chuckled at a few parts as they explained the history of Werewolves and I wondered how it was funny. Did they get it wrong? Probably. I couldn't see another reason for him laughing. When the credits scrolled down the screen I stretched my arms and glanced at the clock to see it was well after 3.

I got up and turned to him. He had gotten up to. I almost crashed right into his chest. His hands kept my steady by grasping my shoulders.

"Oh, sorry." I looked up at him through my eyelashes ,flirtatiously. déjà vu?

He didn't say anything. He just continued to look at me. I could feel myself blushing.

"Jacob?" I choked out.

"Yeah?" He whispered almost incoherently.

I hesitated before opening my mouth a little. "Kiss me."

His eyes got wide and his lips parted a little in shock. I bit my lip wondering if I did this the wrong way. His lips pressed together firmly and I could see his Adams apple bob as he gulped deeply.

He didn't do anything. Maybe this didn't turn out the way I thought.

"Sorry…forget that I asked." I turned my head down and was starting to step out of his grasp but his hands held me tightly. "Jacob, You're hurting me." I glanced back up at him as my forehead creased in confusion.

When I looked up, his lips met mine. I was shocked at first and didn't respond, but when I realized the moment I brought my hands to twine around his neck and press him to me. I parted my lips slightly and traced my tongue along his bottom lip. He hesitated before opening up to me. I slipped my tongue into his mouth.

Our tongues glided along each other and I moaned quietly into his mouth, the vibration passing through both our tongues. His hands moved to my hips, still grasping me tightly.

As our tongues danced, our heads moving to our own little world. My hands moved from his neck down his chest. I felt the ripples of his muscles through his shirt. He was actually wearing one this time. I brought my hands lower to the edge of the shirt and gradually went up it, feeling the intensely hot skin underneath. It gave my fingers a little shock. I was used to feeling cold marble skin underneath the mans shirt. But this was a different man. This was not Edward.

I felt him moan lightly into my mouth and I smiled at the thought. I placed my hands on his abs and he pulled away and looked into my eyes. I was out of breath.

"I love you Bella." He spoke suddenly.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I was shocked. He…loved me? I gulped and brought one hand from under his shirt and placed it on his cheek. He leaned into it. I smiled as his eyes closed and brought in my skin, my warmth, my touch altogether.

Here was a man who appreciated a woman.

I tinge of guilt hit me then and I knew that this was wrong. I loved him too. But did I love him like I loved Edward?

I looked down in guilt and he put two fingers underneath my chin to lift my face up and pressed his lips to mine again. "You don't have to respond. I just wanted you to know." He breath against my face.

I nodded then brought my hands on top of his shirt again. I pulled on it roughly, bringing him towards me as I back up towards the couch.

He obeyed silently and pressed his lips to mine again as I awkwardly leaned onto the couch, bringing him with me. I placed my hands at the edge of his shirt and pulled away from the kiss.

"Arms up!" I chuckled and he obeyed silently, staring into my eyes as I pulled the shirt above his head and threw it on the floor.

"Charlie?" He asked suddenly.

"Work." He nodded silently and I moved closer to him and pressed my lips to his collarbone softly.

He moaned softly and his hands went to the edge of my shirt, pulling up gradually as his fingertips brushed along my skin softly. I pulled away and raised my arms like he did. He pulled off my shirt and examined my collarbone, my breasts, my flat stomach. He took in a breath and moved in to the kiss the top of my left breast.

"You're beautiful." He breathed. I moaned softly and reached behind me to unclasp my bra and let loose my breasts. He immediately replaced the bra with his hands and kneaded them softly. I tilted my head back, and soundless moan coming from my parted lips as my breathing came quicker.

"Oh, Jacob.." I moaned and he took one nipple into his mouth, sucking and nipping on it gently. My back arched.

"I need you." I whispered and he looked at me a bit shocked, but he didn't say no. I stood up and his eyes were glued to me. I kept his eyes on mine as I brushed my hands along my stomach to the button of my jeans. I unbuttoned them and unzipped them, slipping the jeans off my legs slowly. Leaving me in my panties. He gulped.

I placed my fingers inside the waistband of them and slipped them off slowly. Leaving me, stark naked in front of Jacob.

"You're wearing too many clothes Jacob." I teased as I walked over to him. I slipped hands along his shoulders, down his chest, down his hands until I got to his khakis. I unbuttoned them and stared into his eyes as I unzipped them and he shimmied them off. He was going commando.

Well, That made things easier.

I smiled and he outstretched his hand towards me, I took it willingly and laid down on the couch. He placed himself over me, pressing his body against mine closely, but keeping all his weight off me.

He sucked on my neck as his hands roamed my body freely. They went along my hips, to the outside of my thighs, until they slowly trailed to my hot core. He teased me slowly as his fingertip ran along my slit until his thumb met my clit.

"Jacob!" I moaned and arched under his touch, causing his thumb to press harder against me, I moaned louder.

He groaned as he watched my face and moved up a little so that his erection was placed against my stomach. "Bella…" He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I placed my hands on either side of his face and smiled.

"It's okay, Jacob." I encouraged him and he nodded silently as he placed himself at my entrance.

I swallowed and closed my eyes, my fists clenched the couch fiercely.

He started to press into me.

The door opened. I smiled.

"Bella." He didn't question it.

I opened my eyes and glanced over at the door.

Edward, Had come home.

Well, I updated twice today because Iw ont be ablet o update again til late Saturday, or maybe Sunday. SO here's a longer chapter for everyone. Sorry for the cliff hanger :D I just can't help it.

Okay. I got mixed reviews. Half of you are like She can't forgive Edward yeah yeah yeah. Which I agree. Forgiveness is abig thing. andd its hard to do exsepcially for something like this. But. I think everyone deserves second chances personally.

I like Edward. I aws never much for Jacob. So I'm still undecided about that.

Oh, and one more thing. I don't think Bella is stupid. I think she is cautious. She has not forgiven him. If she had, she would be in his arms, not Jacobs. Correct? Yeah. I'm more of the person who would get back at the guy and cause them the same pain they caused me. So that's what I'm doing.

Yes, It's probably out of character. But you nkow what? I'm not Stephenie Meyer. I don't own these charaters. So yeah. There's a big chance that this is out of character. I'm sorry if I can't fulfill most of your needs. I'm doing this story how I think will best entertain people.

I thank the people who love the story. You guys encourage me. Thank you, I mean it.

Alright! Tell me what you think! Review, Review, Review.

I'll see all of you Saturday or Sunday :D
