Chapter 10:

I wake up still in his arms. I smile and look up at him.
"How long have you been awake?" I ask him.
"Almost an hour." he says plainly. I was expecting some sort of good morning greeting, a kiss or something, but nothing; let's try again.
"What's wrong?"
"Just thinking. I'm upset with myself."
"why?"
"Because of last night."
"What was bad about last night?" I ask shifting so I can look at him better.
"What do you last remember?"
"Um, we made a heart in the water, we talked…and then the champagne. After that I know I fell asleep in your arms." I smile.
"That's it?"
"What else happened?" he looks away from me. "What am I missing? Something big?" I sit up all the way and push his face to look at me, "I know what I'm missing." I stroke his cheek, "You said I'm your true love."
"Right that's why I'm mad." I drop my hand from him and sit back, away from him.
"You didn't mean it. Right? It was a mistake, and you were just saying that to make me happy."
"No I swear."
"Then why would you be mad?"
"I worded it wrong. You are my true love. That means I'll do anything to keep you safe and love you as long as I live. We went to a club last night."
"We did?"
"Zero gravity. They were having a foam party and after we finished the champagne we had a few shots. I guess you could say it was the alcohol, even though that's no excuse, but I took you in the back room."
"This doesn't sound like it's gonna end well."
"The back room is the flying room. The stoners, junkies, addicts, pretty much live there. I knew it was too soon, but you kept saying you wanted to have fun, so we had fun."
"What did we do?"
"I'll just show you."

"We didn't really do anything…"
"You took those two puffs."
"Two puffs. Not a whole joint."
"I know, but there could have been anything in there, literally! I've heard some really fucked up shit goin on here. I shouldn't have taken you there, at least not yet."
"That's what you're worried about? Me doing drugs?"
"I don't want to lose you."
"You don't have to worry about me doing drugs. Unless it's prescribed or OTC I don't take it. If anything you should be worried about my drinking!" I joke.
"Not funny." he grabs me in a hug.
"I know you're just looking out for me, thanks." he lets out a sigh and squeezes me tighter.
"Anybody up?" Seth asks coming in. "Whoa sorry." he says ducking out.
"No it's fine." Jacob says.
"What's up?" I ask.
"We got patrol, time to go!" he says.
"Right now?"
"Yes. Sam said stop making out and get your butt downstairs." he smiles. Jake grabs a pillow and throws it at him smiling, Seth leaves laughing.
"You heard him, I gotta go." he turns to me.
"Alright." I whine.
"I'll see you later." I nod, he gives me a quick kiss and leaves. I go downstairs to see if Sue is awake.
"Morning!" I smile at the bottom of the steps.
"Hello." Sue greets me. "I'm just heading out, need anything?"
"No. Thank you." she smiles and leaves.
So I have the house to myself, not sure how I feel about this one. A vampire could show up and then what?
I check all the screens in the living room then lock the kitchen and front doors.
"Yeah because a deadbolt will definitely stop a vampire." I just need to calm down. Nothing's gonna happen in broad daylight. I go upstairs, grab Thumper and some carrots and sit downstairs on the couch with him. I turn on the T.V and call my mom to catch up.
My mom and I talk for a little over an hour before she has to go to work. After I hang up I cuddle Thumper some more then put him back in his cage area.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! Three knocks echo downstairs. Sue would have told me if they were expecting someone- she would have staid home if she were expecting someone. I stick my head out the window and see a red truck. I walk quietly downstairs and jump when three more knocks echo through the room. I open the door slowly and kinda wish I hadn't.
"Hi Sveta. Remember me?"
"Bella." I cut her off, "Yeah I remember you." I say with a slight smile so I don't seem like too much of a bitch.
"Can I come in?" I step aside and let her in, closing it behind her.
"So what brings you by?" I ask as we take seats on the couch.
"I realized that we didn't um, exactly get off on the right foot. Uh we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other probably and-"
"Wait why are we going to be seeing a lot of each other?"
"Well I will always be in Jake's life, we've been friends our whole lives and you two are together right? I just figured we'd both be here a while."
That's a good question. Are we 'together' together?
"Oh um I appreciate the gesture, but I'm supposed to be going home Friday after the trial."
"Well it was Jake's idea too."
"What... exactly, was Jake's idea?"
"Me coming over to hang out."
"I see. Well would you like some…coffee or something?"
"Coffee would be great." I smile and go to make the coffee. I can't believe he would send her over here! Knowing Bella and I don't exactly get along I would think he would want someone else here to make sure we didn't argue or insult each other, or cuss each other out, or…fight. Okay the last one was a little extreme, I wouldn't fight her; not without provocation.
"Feel free to turn the T.V on." I peek my head in the living room to tell her. I hear it click on and sit at the kitchen table waiting on the coffee. I grab the wooden tray beside the fridge and put creamer, sugar and milk on it. When the coffee's ready I pour two cups and put them on the tray as well. Here we go…
"Coffee." I set the tray down.
"Thanks." we fix our cups and watch a daytime talk show.
"So…" I start. "you and Jake have been friends your whole life, huh," she nods as she takes a sip, "haven't any feelings been brought up?"
She stares at me for a second.
"What has he told you?"
"Not much actually."
"Well I won't lie to you. He has strong feelings for me. Well now I guess, had strong feelings. He has kissed me once, I then punched him and he still hasn't given up yet." she speaks as if he's tried this week, she licks her lips and looks down smiling.
"You have no feelings for him though?"
"They're not as strong as his. Of course I love him, but I'm not in love with him."
"I just don't wanna step on anyone's toes, you know."
"Oh yeah, no. It's not even like that." she smiles.
"Okay good."
"I think you two are perfect for each other." she smiles.
"Thanks." I blush.
"And he always talks about you."
"He does?" I blush brighter.
"Oh yeah! It's really sweet actually. He cares for you so much." she drinks from her cup. "Can I tell you something though?"
"Anything."
"I don't want to see him when you leave."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't want to see him heartbroken. He's gonna be a wreck and I can't stand to see him hurt."
"He knew from the beginning that I was just here visiting family. I wasn't looking for anything serious. Hell I came out here with a boyfriend, lost that said boyfriend out here and now Jacob's…trying to fill the void? I just, I don't know him much."
"But you know him enough to have sex…" she mumbles and drinks from her cup hoping I didn't hear. Damn, some nerve she has.
"So how late are you staying? Should I make something to eat?" maybe a nice, hot bowl of cyanide?
"I won't be much longer. I don't want to take up too much off your day. I have to stat planning for graduation anyways."
"When is your ceremony?"
"Next Sunday."
"Exciting." I smile. "So what are your plans for college and a career?"
"Well…" she looks down at her feet, "after graduation I plan on becoming a vampire."
"What? You're choosing to be like that? Why?"
"I love Edward. I don't want anyone else and I never will. It's the only way we can stay together…forever."
"So you're gonna have him kill you?"
"I'll still be here, Sveta." Ew don't say my name!
"I'm sorry, I just don't understand why you would give up your whole family for this one guy. I mean your family raised you your whole life! You can just drop them? And what about if you want children? I guess you could adopt, but what about when they find out, do they become like you, they threaten to tell someone so you suck their blood, or what? I just couldn't do it. My family's always been here for me and to cut them all out of my life for a guy is out of the question." I take a sip of my coffee, she turns away and scratches her head. She pulls out her phone.
"Oh sorry I have to go. I forgot about these plans I had."
"No problem. See you around." I smile.
"Yeah, uh bye." she sets her cup down and leaves. I clean up our coffee cups and go upstairs to change my clothes, nothing fancy just some skinny jeans and a button down flannel.
KNOCK KNCOK KNOCK
I look through the peek hole and see David.
"What do you want?" I yell through the door.
"Please open the door." he begs.
"Why should I?"
"I want to apologize."
"So do it."
"Face to face." I open the door, but don't let him in.
"Can I come in?"
"No."
"Alright, uh," he sighs, "in retrospect what I did was wrong. I didn't think it was such a big deal. I was with you and I wasn't gonna let anything happen to you."
"That doesn't justify anything. I will never forgive you or forget what you did. It's as simple as that, don't waste your time or mine anymore. Just give up it's that simple."
"I'm not gonna give up, sorry."
"Why? Why won't you just leave me alone? We were only together for like a week! You ruined our friendship."
"So everything is my fault? You did absolutely nothing wrong?"
"No I didn't."
"What about Jacob?"
"What about him?"
"You're telling me that your relationship with Jacob just started? After you broke up with me. While we were together you didn't do anything with him?"
"No I told him I didn't want to do anything until I talked to you. I called you and left you messages and you never called back. When Jacob kissed me at first I thought it was wrong because as far as you knew we were together even though I didn't see us that way. You didn't care about me so why should I worry about you?"
"You don't think I cared about you?" he asks holding up the necklace he bought for me.
"Maybe you were just horny?" I suggest shrugging my shoulders.
"I honestly cared for you. I still do, but I know you won't forgive me; at least if Jacob is in your life." he looks down like he's thinking.
"What are you saying David?" he shakes his head, "You better not touch him."
"I can't before the law suit because he'll use that against me. Bye Sveta, I'll see you again soon honey." he smiles and walks away.
"Leave us all alone!" I yell and slam the door shut. I watch through the window until he's gone. Sue pulls up.
"Need some help?" I ask standing at her passenger door.
"Sure." she smiles and opens her trunk. We both grab three bags in each hand and take them to the kitchen counter.

"Emily should be here in a few minutes, we're making dinner for everyone. You can help if you'd like!"
"Yeah, sure. What are we making?"
"Cheese steak hoagies, loaded fries, salad- probably more for us than the guys-and a two layer chocolate cake with homemade icing."
"Do you always cook so much?"
"We have to!" Emily says coming in the kitchen, she smiles. "It gets expensive feeding werewolves sometimes."
"Especially if we order in or get fast food." Sue adds.
"Are you joining us?" Emily asks me.
"Yeah." I smile.
"Guess you should get used to cooking a lot. Jake can sometimes eat for five. Not to mention once you start a family."
"Whoa-um, what? Jake and I aren't together."
"Really?" sue asks me.
"He's never asked."
"But in his eyes, I think he thinks you guys are."
"Anyone home!" Jake yells from the living room.
"Kitchen!" Sue yells.
"Hey." he smiles and grabs me in a hug. He gives me a kiss full of tongue and a squeeze around my waist. I almost forget I'm mad at him for the Bella thing.
"How was patrol?"
"Patrol?" Emily asks.
"You didn't tell her?" Sue asks.
"What? What happened?"
"Let's go outside for a minute." he takes my hand and we go to the back porch.
"So what's going on?"
"We had a lead this morning. We weren't on patrol, we were hunting."
"Why didn't you just tell me that?"
"I didn't want you to worry. You're not mad are you?"
"Yes, but not about that. I got a visit today. Bella came by. Why did Bella come here today?"
"I don't-"
"She said it was part your idea." I cross my arms.
"Well I wanted you guys to get to know one another."
"Well we actually ended up insulting each other, but I don't believe that's the only reason why."
"What do you mean?" I just stare at him. "Okay fine. Edward was worried about Bella being alone and I was worried about you being alone so, we put you two in the same house and put two people on watch to make sure you guys were okay. Seeing as how the vampire was after Bella we had-"
"It was after her, so you thought we'd both be more safe together? What if it came here looking for her and it got to me instead? Didn't you think about that?"
"That wouldn't have happened. No one would have let that happen."
"There was always a risk." he sighs, "Did you at least kill it?"
"No." he says quietly.
"I need to go back inside, I'm helping them cook dinner."
"I'm sorry." he says as I walk past him.
"Everything okay?" sue smiles.
"Mhm." I wash my hands and start cutting the raw meat, Jacob stays outside. I give the cut meat to Emily and start on the cake. I mix the cakes in separate bowls so it's easier to pour, I pour the batter in two circle pans, Jacob comes back inside. When he walks past me he gives me a kiss on my right cheek. After he's past me I grab his arm, give him a kiss back and hand him my mixing spoon to lick clean. He keeps his mouth closed and smiles then goes in the living room with it. The TV echoes in the kitchen almost as loud as the guy's voices.
"What can I do while the cakes cook?" I ask.
"Make the icing." sue says. I start on it while occasionally checking the cake.
"NO! Get away!" Jacob yells from the living room.
"C'mon!" someone chuckles. The next thing I hear is a thud followed by laughter. Jacob stumbles in with a smile, "Want this in the sink?" he asks me holding out the mixing spoon.
"Yeah." I nod.
"Mmm how much longer until it's ready?" he puts his hands on my hips
"Soon." Emily smiles. My dad walks in and stares at where Jacob's hands are; he drops his hands when he sees my dad. He clears his throat and looks away from my dad.
"Just came in for a beer." he says starring at Jacob. I'm pretty sure we could all feel the awkwardness. He clears his throat and leaves.
About an hour and a half later and dinner is done. I finish quickly and frost the cake. "When do you guys want dessert?"
"Now!" Seth smiles.
"You got any room in there?" I ask rubbing Jacob's stomach.
"I think I can squeeze it in." he smiles. I give everyone a plate of cake, even Leah-who hasn't spoken a word to me all day.
"Okay, now I'm stuffed!" Seth says after his second piece of cake.
"I would hope so." I laugh. Emily and sue clean the dishes and I go up to my room to lay down. When Thumper sees me lay down, he lays down too and stares at me. My bed lightly dips behind me, I roll over and see Jacob.
"Any room for me?"
"Maybe." I scoot over and he lays down wrapping an arm around me. "Nice and full?"
"Mhhmm." he hums. I rub his stomach and he closes his eyes. I feel the need to ask him about our title, but I'm not gonna. "Are you still mad at me?" he asks quietly.
"I don't know. I guess I can't be mad at you for what she said to me. But then again she wouldn't have told me that if you didn't invite her over…" I take a deep breath and roll over so I'm looking at him-still in his arms. "I guess I'm not mad at you."
"I know a way I can make it up to you." he says seductively.
"And how is that?"
"Maybe pay a visit in to the woods again…?" he smiles.
"So every time has to be in the woods?"
"Not every time, but I like it." he says shyly, a light tint of pink stands out in his cheeks. I smile and kiss each of his cheeks.
"Don't be embarrassed to admit that."
"I'm not normally embarrassed about talking about this topic, but it's different with you. I don't want to say something to scare you off, or make you uncomfortable."
"Trust me, I'm not goin anywhere." I smile. "and if only you could see some of the dreams I have!" I chuckle.
"Hmm, maybe we can make some of those special dreams realities?"
"Possibly…"

"Just let me know when." he smiles.

"Will do. So have you been preparing for the trial?"

"A little. I don't need to review much though. I'd rather study you." he kisses my forehead.

"Can we just sleep please? I didn't have the best day and I need to get some things out of my head."

"So put them in my head. show me what happened." i replay my day for him. "I can't believe she said that to you."

"Me either."

"And David?!"

"Yeah, so watch out. You know."

"Trust me, after this trial...bye bye David." i read his mind to see what he's thinking about.

'I know I still have to ask her officially. Be my girlfriend...be my wife...I can't ask her to marry me of course she'd say no. would she say no to being my girlfriend? look how beautiful she looks just laying here. alright I'm gonna do it...now...okay maybe now...C'mon Coward! You love her just fucking grow some balls!'

"Sveta."

"Yeah?" I ask.

"I should have asked you earlier. I can't stand not being exclusive with you. I don't want anyone else and I hope you don't either."

"I don't." I smile.

"Good. Will you officially be my girlfriend? My lover? The love of my life and maybe one day wife?"

"Yes." I giggle at his rhyme. He leans down and kisses me passionately.
