A/N: Awww you guys are too kind to me! I swear you all are spoiling me with your amazing comments.
Bella let out a deep calming breath when Jacob left the bathroom. She really was getting the hang of controlling her emotions, even for a hormonal teenager. Reaching behind the shower curtain, Bella let her hands turn the knobs to the shower. Water fell from the showerhead and she stepped back to let the water warm up. She began to take the red bathing suite off of her body, her fingers trying desperately to untwist the tie in the back. It eventually came undone and she tossed it in the corner behind the door. She rubbed her swollen muscles gingerly and glanced up at the mirror. Tilting her head to the side she couldn't help but notice an even bigger difference now, though she smiled at the reflection. Bella had to admit that she looked…amazing. Finally! The ever so modest Bella Swan admits that she looked semi attractive for once. Incredible. Turning to the side she pulled the curtain back and stepped into the hot shower. Bella didn't even realize that the water was at a scorching temperature….for a human at least.
She began to hum quietly to herself as she washed all of the sand particles off of her body. She grabbed the bar of soap off the ledge; her eyes darting quickly over the tiling. A flash of black stuck out in her peripheral vision and she turned to the side. Immediately she saw a small spider perched in the corner of the bathtub. A shriek blasted through her vocal cords and she fell back into the shower curtain. Before she knew it, Jacob barged into the bathroom and stared at the scene in front of him. Bella was tightly wrapped within the fabric of the shower curtain and leaning against the wall. He raised an eyebrow at her and tilted his head to the side.
"Um…Bella? I—uh…what's going on?" Jake said while resting his hand on the back of his neck.
"Jake! Oh god there's a spider. Kill it!" She screeched while clutching the shower curtain tighter around her body. Jacob looked at her strangely and then erupted with his deep laughter.
"You're--you're kidding me right?" He said while stifling back another laugh.
"Jake just kill the damn spider already! Or I swear I'm gonna kick your ass."
"You can try Bella….…" He said with a smirk.
"Oh don't worry, I will…." She mumbled while staring dangerously at the creepy crawly that was perched at the corner of the shower. Jake laughed again and picked up a tissue. Soon enough he had the spider squashed and thrown into the garbage.
"See? That's how a real werewolf handles spiders." Jacob said while crossing his arms over his chest. Bella just rolled her eyes at him and pushed the curtain back into place. She poked her head out of the side and glared at him.
"Just go so I can take my shower." Bella said bitterly.
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay and protect you? I can always join…." Jacob started to laugh uncontrollably. Bella gaped at him and threw her wash cloth at him. It hit him square in the face which made the young werewolf straightened his jaw and stood up so his back was parallel to the wall.
"Excuse me Bella? You got something to say?"
"When I'm done with my shower I'm going to break your legs!"
"You couldn't even harm the spider! Sorry to break it to you, but you could not take me on."
"Oh so your scared now?" She teased while moving back behind the shower curtain.
"Far from it Bells." He said while leaning against the tiled wall as he stared at the shadow her body created behind the curtain. She had such a beautiful frame, and even more so now because of her newly developed features. He fell deep into thought, completely mesmerized by Bella Swan and all of her perfection.
"Jake go wait in your room. I'll be done soon." She said as she poked her head out from the curtain again. The werewolf was quickly brought out of his reverie. He looked up and gave her a sheepish grin. Jacob couldn't believe how lost he could get when he thought about her. She was just so perfect for him, and he found it quite impossible to stop thinking about her. When Bella raised an eyebrow at him, his dark colored cheeks actually started to have a hint of crimson to them.
"What? Oh…sure sure." He exited the bathroom and went into his bedroom. Slowly he laid down on his bed and stared up at his ceiling, his mind yet again wondering back to the cute brunette who was using his shower. He rolled over and let out a frustrated groan, his eyes now locking on his bedroom floor. Jacob knew how in love with her he was, and it killed him to think that she was barley on the territory of being his girlfriend. Her indecisiveness about there relationship was such a stab to the heart, but Jacob strived to be the man she needed. And men don't let the women they love know that there in pain. Eventually Bella would love him, and he would definitely wait for her.
"Jake?" came the sweet sultry voice of none other then Bella herself. Jacob quickly broke his gaze with the floor and looked up to see her standing there in a towel. His lungs stopped working for a second before he realized he forgot to breath. Her beautiful ringlets were soaking wet and already curling. Basically, Jacob found that she was even more flawless in her natural state.
"Jacooooob." Bella repeated. Once again he was shocked out of his daydream.
"Oh I'm sorry Bella." He said while sitting up. "What do you need?"
"Um clothes would be nice…"
"Just go right on in to Rachel's room. Take anything you want. She's at college right now anyway so she won't notice." Bella nodded and left the bedroom. Biting her lower lip she walked attentively towards Jacob's sister's room. The small werewolf stood in front of Rachel's dresser, selecting a few items. Before long Bella decided on a casual form fitting blue dress. Something that would be easy to take off incase she had to 'change'. She walked back into Jacob's room and smiled at him. Finding him in another daydream she let out a small laugh. What has got his mind so spaced out? She wondered before sitting down next to him. Bella wanted desperately to ease his mind, so she did the first thing that popped into her mind. Reaching over she took his face in her hands gently.
"Bella wha-" The brunette cut him off by pressing her lips to his. It was a sweet an innocent kiss, and the two of them cherished every moment of it. When she pulled back Bella saw that a huge grin was plastered to Jacob's lips.
"What was that for?" He asked while running his fingers over her jawbone. Bella smiled and grasped his hand within hers.
"Cause I wanted to make you happy."
"Bell's…you shouldn't do something just because it'd make me happy."
"Well I also did it cause…" Bella felt the butterflies churn inside her gut and she couldn't help but feel the blood rush to her pale cheeks. "….IthinkI'mfallingforyoujake." Bella said the last part so fast that all the words blurred together. She was so nervous to spill her feelings out, and she wasn't too good at it…
"Woah what?" Jacob asked in a confused voice.
"I think I'm…falling for…you." Jacob didn't waste a second, he leaned in and kissed her roughly, his arms clasping around her back and pulled her to him. The two kissed for a while, just enjoying one another's taste. Bella gasped when she felt Jacobs 'enthusiasm' which made Jacob laugh. He pulled her down to peck her once on the lips.
"We should go." Jacob said in an unusually high voice for him. He cleared his throat and spoke again. "You know…so we won't be late for the barbeque." Bella nodded in agreement and followed Jacob out of his house. They walked towards the Uley house staring up at each other with grins plastered to faces.
"So um Bella….I don't know how to ask this so I'm just gonna come out and say it. Will you be my girlfriend?" He quickly closed his eyes, afraid to look at her now. Bella let out a laugh and finally felt at peace with her decision. She stopped walking and stood on her tip toes to kiss him adoringly. Even though she was a lot taller then before, Jacob still surpassed her….immensely. He opened his eyes and the grin returned to his face.
"Really?"
"Yes really. Now common! We're gonna be late." Bella said and took his hand in hers.
"Alright, let's go." Bella followed her boyfriend to Sam and Emily's house.
***************************
The two arrived to the Uley house rather quickly, and immediately they were bombarded by hugs.
"Oh Bella I am so happy you will be joining our little family." Emily squealed as she hugged the young girl tightly to her chest. Apparently Quil and Embry already broke the news to them all.
"Hell yes! Welcome Bella." Said Seth as he and Jared trapped her in a tight hug. Leah walked over to her next and actually gave her a genuine smile. It was rare for her, but it made this whole thing a lot better.
"It's nice to have another girl werewolf. I was beginning to feel alone…" Bella smiled at her as well.
"And I'm glad I'm not the only girl either." The two laughed and Jacob walked over to wrap an arm around his girlfriend.
"Alright alright, enough with the 'welcomes'. Lets eat I'm starved." All the men agreed and walked over to the grill where Sam was cooking the meats. Bella sighed as she watched Sam. Apparently he wasn't too accepting of her becoming one of them. Emily walked over to her and rested a hand on her arm.
"He will come around. Don't let him bother you." Emily said reassuringly.
"Thank you." was Bella's meek response.
The entire pack took a seat on the grass as they ate. Jacob looked over at Bella and saw how she was less tense then before. It made him happy to know that his family would be a good replacement for the Cullen's. Probably an even better one. He leaned over to kiss her cheek and whisper sweet nothings into her ear. She smiled up at him and allowed him to kiss her lips. Bella was a bit uncomfortable with public affection, so she kept everything short and sweet for now. When the pack was finished eating, everyone was happily chatting away about everything. Bella felt bad about Emily having to clean everything up herself, so she and Leah helped out a little bit.
The new werewolf began to scrape the grill clean, while Leah and Emily did the dishes inside. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her torso and a smile graced her lips when Jacob rocked her side to side in his arms. He was so adorable. Eventually Jacob moved his hands to her hips and gave them a squeeze before resting his lips on her neck. Bella loved his affection, but doing it in front of her new family made her feel weird.
"Hey you two, get a room!" Embry teased.
"Jealous Embry?" Was Jacobs retort as he pulled Bella around and kissed her deeply on the lips. She could hear all the boys wolf whistling and howling at them which deep down made her self conscious. Pulling back, Bella rolled her eyes and hit him in the chest. Jacob mocked being hurt and returned to his friends. She returned to cleaning the grill. Boys. She thought as her hands scrubbed vigorously.
The night progressed quickly, and before Bella knew it everyone was relaxing by a nice bon fire. She was securely wrapped in her boyfriends arms staring up at the sky along with everyone else. It was such a perfect evening and virtually nothing could ruin it for her.
A sickening smell greeted Bella's nostrils and she sat up quickly. Jacob followed suit, and eventually so did the entire pack. The smell was horrible enough to make Bella sick to her stomach, and yet it was slightly familiar to her.
"What is that?" She whispered to Jacob who was staring venomously into the black night.
"Cullen."
A/N: Good? Bad? Review please! Everything I'm writing is spur of the moment. So I have no idea where this story is going. Any suggestions? Or should I just wing it…..?
