"Hello"

"Meet me at First Beach Jacob." *click* Alice and Jasper looked at my abrupt hanging up while I just continued to smile sadly. "The jerk hung up on me earlier I'm just paying him back in kind" Alice nodded her head in agreement while Jasper shook his. "Two wrongs don't make a right Bella" Alice and I looked at Jasper and waited for him to open his eyes. As he did he took in our facial expressions and started laughing. "Alright, alright. When it's called for it's necessary. I remember when I did the same thing to Alice and she paid me back worse then just calling and hanging up?" Alice grinned as she sat on his lap and kissed him. I smiled. They are so cute together.

"Bells" I turned and looked at Jacob. God he was beautiful. I bit my lip as I looked towards Alice who winked and decided to take a stroll with Jasper down the beach. I continued to look at the grey water while Jake sat beside me. "You don't trust me do you?"

"No I don't nor do I trust him" I winced at his words.

"Why?"

"While we were in the pool Bella I saw that you were forcing yourself not to respond while deep down inside you probably wanted to. You didn't even kiss me before I left. Truth be told I didn't think about it until you missed my call earlier and you told me that you were alone with the guy that likes you and wants a hell of a lot more from you then just friendship" I got up and walked away. I knew I messed up earlier but I've been trying so hard not to let anything happen between Edward and I and because I missed his phone call he assumed the worst. I didn't kiss him properly last night because I thought it would be disrespectful to have Edward kiss me and then Jake kiss me later but I guess I just should have followed my instincts. My fists clenched as I shook my head and chuckled sadly. Jake grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards him. I looked into his eyes as he looked into mine.

"Do I have to worry about you being near him Isabella"

"No" I answered him truthfully. He didn't have to worry because I wouldn't put myself in a predicament to have him worry.

"How can I trust you if I'm not near you?" my eyes narrowed.

"Have you seen the girls at your school. They're beautiful. How can I trust you around them if I'm not near you? I know about Tracy, Kara, Samantha, and Natalie. Rebecca and Rachel told me about them and how far you've gone with each" he looked at me startled and I just smiled but I knew that smile wouldn't reach my eyes. "Jacob? You thought I didn't know. I can also see in your eyes that you didn't plan on telling me. Do you think I can trust you knowing you go to a school full of your exes?" I rolled my eyes and pulled my arm from his grasp as I continued to walk down the beach. How hypocritical of him.

I gasped as Jacob scared the shit out of me and pulled me towards him. His lips crashed against mine as I looked at him startled until my eyes closed and I moaned into our kiss. His kiss was so different from Edwards but I couldn't place the difference. His tongue played with mine as I tilted my head to give him more room to explore my mouth. I felt his fingers massaging my scalp as he continued to kiss me. His other arm wrapped around my waist and brought me closer. I was lost in his kiss and I knew my cheeks had to be flushed. He broke away and I could tell that my lips were swollen and pink. Jake grinned as he removed his fingers from my hair and picked me up by my butt. One arm rested underneath my butt holding me up while the other wrapped around my rib cage. I wrapped my legs around his waist as we looked into each others eyes. Jake continued to grin as he saw the prolonged affect his kiss left me with. I let out a breath of fresh air and shook my head to clear the mugginess. "Bella it's going to take a lot for me to get used to the fact that you are mine and only mine. You are going to see my jealous side constantly but I will try to reign it in especially when you are with Alice since I know if you are at her house her brother is liable to be around. But do me a favor, if anything does occur between you and her brother sexually at least tell me. I can't make any promises that I will understand and I can't make any promises that I won't be pissed but at least tell me" I grabbed his face and kissed him softly as his eyes stayed locked on me. "I understand but you also have to trust me and if anything happens between you and another female at least tell me. I will not lie to you and tell you I won't be pissed because I will and I can't say I'll understand but I'll try however I will give you another chance, maybe." He started to laugh as I kissed him again and then hugged him. I unwrapped my legs from around his waist as he continued to hug me. He rested his head in the crook of my neck and my eyes closed. This was blissful. He kissed my neck and continued to hug me as I did the same. His body was perfect. I could feel the defined muscles of his chest and abs as we continued to be flush against each other. I bit my lip as I felt my face turn red, as I thought about his skin against mine in later situations.

"Well aren't you two cute. Happy to see you made up" I heard Alice say. My feet touched the ground and I turned in Jakes arms as we looked at a grinning Jasper and Alice. I smiled as Jake started to laugh and push his fingers through his hair.

"Man. I'm telling you from now. I will try to keep your girl as far away from Edward as possible and Alice won't leave her like she did earlier" I turned my head and saw Jake nodding at Jasper. I smiled.

"Thanks man it will be greatly appreciated" Jasper put his hand out as Jake did the same and they shook on it. Alice looked at me as she rolled her eyes and I smiled. I faced Jake. "Alice and I have some shopping to do so I will talk to you later?" Jake smiled and kissed me as confirmation. I hugged him again as he walked away until he turned back and looked at us.

"Almost forgot. I don't know if Bells told you but there is a bonfire next weekend. You guys are welcome to come with Bella if you want. You can invite the others to."

"We'll be here" Jasper said as he waved at Jake, who returned the wave and then continued to walk in the direction of his house. I sighed with a smile on my face as Alice winked at me and we walked arm in arm back towards her car.

We dropped Jasper off at his house, which seemed to be around the same size as Alice's, and then we continued to Port Angeles where we visited some fashion boutiques and decided to eat dinner at Michaels seafood and steakhouse. I decided against Bella Italia for a later time since it was kind of weird eating at a restaurant that had your name. Alice and I talked about inconsequential things until we decided to go back to her house. As we headed back to Forks I smiled at the fact that I never had this. In Phoenix I was never able to enjoy Victoria and Jane's company as much as I enjoy Alice's and even Angela's. I guess in the whole sum of things I knew they weren't good people from the moment we became friends but I convinced myself that they were. I started to chuckle lightly.

"What?" I turned towards Alice.

"I was just thinking how I never had this in Phoenix and how so much time was wasted with friends that weren't good for me. Today was nice and relaxing and even though we just met it seems like we've been friends for awhile" Alice beamed.

"I know exactly what you mean. It was like we were meant to be friends. We didn't get on each others nerves and we were relaxed with each other because no matter what we knew the other one had our back. I never had this with Rosalie, Tanya or McKenna. I always felt that they always looked out for themselves first and me last and your right it does seem like we have been friends for awhile." I smiled just as brightly at Alice as she did me and then we continued to her house in comfortable silence.

We pulled up to the garage and I noticed that the Jag was missing but in it's place was a black Mercedes SLS AMG. I whistled as Alice parked beside it. Alice laughed as I touched it and shook my head while grabbing my bags from her car. "It's my dad's baby. He got that car like 4 years ago even though it still looks brand new. That's the car he and my mom use when they go on their dates but the jag is for everyday use." I nodded in appreciation as I looked around and noticed that the Jag wasn't there. I walked inside behind Alice but stopped when I bumped into her back. I stood on my tip toes and looked over her shoulder. Rosalie and Emmett were in the dining room while Edward and Tanya were in the kitchen. I shook my head as Emmett took body shots from Rosalie who moaned every time he poured the liquid and sucked it up. Tanya however was getting whipped crème licked off her stomach and chest. "Really? you guys couldn't just do this in your room? I mean they are joined by your bathroom." Emmett and Edward's green eyes met ours but I could see the only thing that was on their minds was fucking. I just shook my head and walked around Alice towards the stairs. "You're just jealous?" I looked at Tanya as she smirked at me with her eyes glazed over. "I have no reason to be I got what I wanted earlier" Tanya's eyes widened as Edward grinned and Emmett choked on his next shot. Tanya looked at Edward as I turned back towards my destination and continued to walk up the stairs with Alice still laughing behind me. As we got to her door she slammed and locked the door behind us. I decided against taking another shower and let Alice take hers as I changed out of my clothes into my taz pajama set. I packed up my clothes from the previous nights and put them at the bottom of my bag. I took out my baby blue underwear and purple bra with a pair of stone wash jeans and my green and blue Oscar from Sesame street t-shirt with 'I have enough friends' written on it followed by my blue converse. My outfit went on Alice's couch while my sneakers went beside it. I grabbed my IPOD and turned to Kings of Leon while I located my bathing suits so I could put them in a separate bag and then in my duffle. Alice came out of the bathroom just as we heard a knock at the door. I looked at Alice who had a towel wrapped around her body and then she just shrugged as she put on her underwear and bra. I waited for her to grab her robe before I moved. I got up and opened the door to see Emmett and Edward standing there. I opened the door wider so they could see Alice also. Alice put her hands on her hips as she glared at them. "What do you want?" I looked at Alice but I felt Edward's eyes on me. "We wanted to know if you guys wanted to play pool?" I looked at Emmett and grinned as he grinned back. "I guess, are your females gone?"

"Nope they're still downstairs waiting on us to come back"

"Alright we'll be there in a minute" I closed the door. Alice dropped her robe and changed into some yoga pants and a pink tank top. I took off my pajamas and put on my favorite sweat pants and mariners t-shirt. I put my hair in a messy bun at the top of my head so I wouldn't have to deal with it while I played and then I walked to the door with Alice behind me. I, of course, tripped on the bottom step and couldn't help but laugh with Alice at my expense.

"And you want me to join the dance team?" she smiled and hit me on my arm as we walked towards the pool table.

Emmett's eyes met mine and all we could do was smile. "Alright what are we playing for this time wrestler since you feel you can beat me" Emmett smiled as he handed me a pool cue and set the balls up in the middle. He gave me the cue ball. "Stripes or solids Bella" I thought for a moment and then smiled. "Stripes" Emmett nodded as I bent over and positioned my stick to where I wanted two of my balls to go. I looked at each hole and then smiled at the balls lined up in the middle. I smiled as my pony tail began to loosen and I hit two striped balls, 10 and 14 to be exact. I raised up and winked at Emmett as his jaw dropped. I laughed as I moved around the table and aimed for ball 11. It went into the hole like the other two but I missed ball 13 which gave Emmett an opportunity. Emmett made a hit that put ball 3, 7 and 2 in the hole. He also hit ball 1 but missed ball 6. It was my turn again and looked at what I had remaining. 4 more balls. I positioned my cue and struck, which then put ball 13 and 15 in the hole. I looked at the 8 ball and groaned. Emmett started to laugh as he saw my predicament. The 8 ball was right in front of 9 and beside 12. I was so screwed and I wasn't as good as Charlie so there was no way I was making it. I positioned my cue stick and it hit ball 9 but it didn't go in the hole, thankfully since 8 was right behind it. Emmett grinned as he hit ball 4 and 5 into the hole which left him with 6 and 8. I smirked as I saw him winning this game. Emmett looked at me and grinned as I rolled my eyes. He hit ball 6 and made it in which left 8. I leaned over the table to see how he was going to make this work seeing that 8 was behind my 9 and if he put my 9 in he lost. Emmett walked around the table to strategize his next move. He stopped and smiled triumphantly as he figured out what he was going to do.

I stepped back and started to grin as I watched him work. He put the cue behind him and slowly hit the cue ball which hit 8 towards another hole and just like that he won. Emmett grinned as I smiled and congratulated him. "Not bad Em but you never did tell me what we were playing for?" Emmett walked over to me and bent down to whisper in my ear. "You have to give Edward a lap dance but we will do that on a later date" My eyes opened wide as he moved from my ear and brushed my chin with his finger. I looked at Edward whose eyes held my gaze. They set me up. I put the cue in its holder and walked into the kitchen. I heard the garage door opening and grinned. I looked at Alice and waited for her to catch my gaze. Once she did I signaled her over.

"What's the matter?"

"Well one I have to give Edward a lap dance but other then that your parents are home" Alice groaned and then started to grin. "I'm sorry Bella but did you say my parents are home?" I nodded and her grin grew bigger. She looked around the kitchen and at the dining room. Alice grabbed my hand and ran with me through the house and upstairs. She put her ear to the door and I followed suit. "EMMETT MASEN AND EDWARD ANTHONY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM?" I heard Esme yell. Wow for such a small woman she sure does know how to yell. "Boys did your mother not make herself clear earlier when she spoke to you in the kitchen. I apologize Tanya and Rosalie but at this hour ladies must retire for the evening. I expect you gone in at most 5 minutes. Emmett and Edward I assume that you brought them here since I didn't see their vehicles. Therefore you have 20 minutes to get back home and clean up this mess!" Carlisle said and the finality in his voice would have made me hightail it out of his presence instantly. However, I guess others can't hear finality in a persons voice, like Tanya for example. "Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, we would be more then happy to help clean since it is also our fault why your kitchen looks this way" I heard Tanya say. Alice looked at me and rolled her eyes. "That won't be necessary dear. Alice and Isabella cleaned this house from top to bottom earlier while you all were asleep and I am quite sure the house was atrocious then so Emmett and Edward must do the part that they didn't do earlier" I knew Esme didn't like Tanya but she didn't talk down to her nor did she make it sound like she was disliked. As my grandma always told me that's how you know the difference between someone who has class and someone who doesn't just listen to the way they speak to people. We heard footsteps coming up the stairs and Alice and I looked at each other as we both ran to her couch and started talking about nothing in particular.

We heard a knock and then Esme and Carlisle poked their heads in. Esme smiled while Carlisle grinned. "Is that my baby girl over there? My only girl that I haven't seen since yesterday?" I smiled as Alice laughed. She got up and walked to the door as Carlisle entered and pulled her to him for a hug. "dad…you….are….squeezing…me!" He laughed and kissed her temple before he let her go. "Hey Bella" I smiled "Hi Mr. Cu….I mean Carlisle" he smiled. "So my wife tells me that you slapped Tanya and threatened Rosalie with bodily harm earlier?" I blushed as Alice and her parents started to laugh. "Something like that" I said as I smiled. Esme and Carlisle smiled at me as they blew a kiss at Alice and exited her room. Alice and I looked at each other and smiled as we decided to get ready for bed. I had to admit that I was very tired and the yawn that Alice just had proved she was too. I looked at my phone. 10:47. That's weird Jacob hasn't called me. I dialed his number and waited but no one picked up. I furrowed my brow as I decided to send him a text message.

Hey…about to go to sleep. Talk to you later *Bells*

I put my phone on the night table beside me and waited but still no text message. I sat up and glared at my phone. "Bells? What's the matter?" Alice asked as another yawn escaped her. "Nothing Jake just didn't call me back or text me back"

"Do you trust him enough not to worry?"

"No" Alice bit her lip and sat up. "Do you want us to go to La Push?" I looked into her light brown eyes and thought about it. Did I really want to go to La Push and embarrass myself as well as him in front of his friends if nothing is going on? I sighed. "I don't think that would be best. I have to learn to trust him and this is as good a time as any" I turned off the light as Alice laid back down. I got myself comfortable and rested my head on the pillow. I hope everything is alright.
