A/N: This is was given to me by a lovely lady over on Jacob Black n Pack. So this is dedicated to her!

Chapter 10: Cinderbella

Jake woke early the next morning, hoping to find out what the fuck his two best friend's were doing at the house and why the hell they hadn't rung to let him know they were coming.

He groaned as he climbed out of bed, remembering how cold Bella had been with him last night. He wanted to apologise, but had no idea what he was apologising for. She was amazing; so beautiful, unbelievably intelligent, and so completely different from all the other girls that had been interested him.

Bella was real, she didn't have one fake part about her.

And that's what had him falling hard. Now all he had to do was get her to be in the same room as him - alone.

After waiting for his morning wood to go down - which took longer than expected - the dreams he'd had about him kissing Bella weren't helping...at all.

Jake threw on a shirt and left his room. Making his way into what appeared to be a crowded kitchen, he glanced around looking for Bella. His heart sunk when he saw she was nowhere to be seen.

Embry was chatting idly with Alice at the breakfast table outside; while, Quil was taunting Shelly, mocking her cooking skills.

Unfortunately she then snapped at him, "Well if you think you can do any fucking better...go ahead!" She threw the spatula at him.

Quil scoffed and motioned for her to move over. "Baby girl, I taught those celebrity chefs everything they know."

Shelly snapped her fingers as if realising something. "Oh! So that's the reason why they are all shit. Because you've influenced them...now I understand."

Quil frowned at her and turned back to the bacon sizzling in the pan.

Jake shook his head at his friends, then sat at the island - alone.

As he sat by himself - he had a chance to mull over things. How had his life changed so dramatically in such a short space of time? How could he feel so connected to someone he barely knew? Why did every part of his being want to go and knock on her door, sneak in and cuddle up in bed with her? More importantly...what were the warm, fuzzy feelings surrounding his heart when he saw her?

Moments later Jake's heart stopped as he heard her door open. He wanted to have with her what his friends had with Alice and Shelly. He wanted to joke with her while standing in pyjamas, feed her grapes, watch her swim, hold her tight, kiss and touch her...intimately.

Bella hopped past him; looking fucking gorgeous, for a moment he thought his jaw had hit the floor. Her bed trousers hung low on her hips; showing just the right amount of her toned stomach, while her baby pink tank top clung to her perfectly sized breasts.

Jake had to inconspicuously turn away, placing his hand over the bulging erection threatening to burst from his sweats.

Dear God.

Bella turned to him, oblivious to how she was making him feel. "You had breakfast?" She pointed to the frying pan.

He shook his head. "No...that was Quil and Shelly."

She furrowed her brows in confusion. "Quil?"

"Oh, when you went to bed last night, my two charming friends decided to show up and crash the "party"." He mumbled, less than happy.

"So, your friends are here? The ones I met at the race?" Bella asked, leaning over the island.

"Yup, the very same."

Thinking she would be mad at his revelation, he was shocked when she smiled. "Awesome, the more the merrier."

"Yeah, I suppose." Jake mumbled, his voice lacking a trace of emotion. What he really wanted her to say was: "Well, you need to tell them to fuck off, so we can spend quality time together and we can finish what we almost started yesterday." Yeah...never going to happen.

"Alice, we are all waiting on you!" Yelled Shelly, from Quil's car.

Seconds later a flustered looking Alice appeared. "Well I'm sorry! I don't have a clue where we are going so I have to dress for any eventuality!" She shot back, climbing in the back with Embry, leaving Bella and Jake in their car - alone.

Bella was still pretty much acting as if he didn't exist, and to be honest, it was getting him down. He started the ignition and opened his window.

"Just follow me, I know the way. And Quil try not to get lost. We both know you suck at following orders."

Bella hated to act this way around him, but what else was she supposed to do? He was only with her until her leg healed, so she was determined not to allow anything other than friendship arise between them.

But that wasn't good enough for him; she was going to speak to him on the car journey - one way or another.

Glancing over at her one last time, he sighed and pressed his foot on the gas and headed out of the gated property toward his destination.

Ten excruciating minutes of silence had passed between them, and Jake was beginning to go nuts. He needed to ask her what last night was about before he blew up from all his unanswered questions.

"Bells?" He asked, cagily.

She kept looking out the window, but managed to mumble a response. "Hmmm?"

He took a deep breath and decided to just dive in headfirst.

"What happened last night? I mean, between you and I?"

"What do you mean?"

Jake swallowed hard, licking his lips nervously. "Well you seemed a little...off with me last night. I just wondered if I'd done something wrong?"

Bella stared at him in disbelief. "You seriously don't know?"

So there was something wrong. Well at least that bit was cleared up!

"Honey, I honestly don't have a clue what I've done to make you so mad at me." He told her, honestly.

"I'm not mad. Disappointed, but not mad." She paused, looking at him. "I don't know you well enough to be mad at you."

"Well, I'd LIKE to get to know you, but I'd like to know what I've done to make you disappointed in me."

Bella sighed. Really? Was he really that clueless?

"Yesterday afternoon you came to my room and checked on me, right?"

He nodded. "Right."

"Well just as you shut the door I woke up and climbed out of bed to see you. I hopped out of my room and across the hallway to yours, when I heard you on the phone."

Ok, he was still confused.

"You told your friends that you were only staying with me until my leg healed and then you were going. So everything we've shared over the last few days would have been a very distant memory to you." She paused, feeling the anger boil to the surface. "I mean, hell Jake! I almost kissed you! I thought you felt the same for me as I did for you!"

Ok, maybe that did sound bad. Fuck! He hadn't meant it like that! But then something hit him like a ton of bricks...she had said "did" not "do".

Double fuck!

Jake slowed the car, cautiously turning to look at her, while keeping one eye on the road. "Bells, I really didn't mean it like that, after that part of the conversation I asked them for advice on how to ask you out!"

Wait, what?

She turned to look at him, his expression looking pained. "You...wanted to ask me out?"

He sighed, running a hand through his hair and nodded. "Yeah, that's what this was supposed to be; just me and you." He paused. "Bells, I know I've done some messed up stuff in the past, but please...don't judge me. I know that I'm asking a lot because I deserved to be judged, but please...I can't take it from you."

"Jake, I'm not judging you on what you've done in the past, I don't care about that. I care about the man you've become." She sighed. "I'm a girl, just a normal girl, who's interested in a boy; a boy so far out of her league it's unreal. I'm scared, nervous and struggling to come to terms with the fact the boy I like is sitting next to me now, driving me to some strange place to spend the day with me. Stuff like that doesn't happen to normal, plain, boring girls like me. We sit in our rooms, do our school work and that's it. I don't have attractive guys chasing after me trying to get my number; if anything I repel them."

He looked at her in astonishment.

"Are you serious? You think you repel them? Bells, you are absolutely beautiful! There is no way in hell you are plain, normal or boring. You are the most intelligent, intriguing, stunning, amazing woman I know! How could you think any different?"

Bella shrugged, feeling a lump form in her throat from his kind words. "It's just who I am - who I've always been."

Jake shook his head vigorously. "I don't believe that for a second and I don't think you do either. Bells look at me?"

She turned toward him, her eyes swimming with tears.

"I think you're incredibly gorgeous, extremely skilled, and a wonderful person...and I'd be honoured if you agreed to spend the day with me - as my date?"

Bella gazed at him dubiously. "Don't play with me, Jake. Don't lead me on, it's not fair."

"I'm not leading you on, Bella. I'm asking if you would be my date?" He said, softly.

She noted the genuine sincerity in his voice and figured he was telling the truth. With her body filling with excitement and apprehension, she happily agreed.

"Ok, I'll be your date."

They both smiled with elation. Jake felt like the luckiest guy in the world, and Bella felt like she could leap from the car and scream how happy she was. The day was going to be a good day; she could feel it.

Two hours later the groups were walking around the extremely crowded Magic Kingdom in Disney. Alice had told Jake that Bella was a huge Disney freak; she loved everything about it, but mainly how one little place in the world could make any person - no matter how old they are - feel like a kid again.

Bella was floored when Jake pulled up to the tolls to pay the entrance fee. She literally wanted to jump up and down squealing with excitement, but she held back thinking that would look totally lame to the man sitting next to her - who was now, possible boyfriend material.

So, along Main Street they walked. Quil and Embry fought over who held the map while Alice and Shelly stopped every two seconds to browse in shops. Bella and Jake held back , walking at their own pace, simply enjoying being with one another. As they walked, Jake slipped his hand into hers and held her lightly, giving her the chance to pull away - which to his great surprise - she didn't. So she had his hand in one hand and the crutch in the other, strangely feeling completely at ease in his presence.

Jake had been lucky so far, nobody had spotted him. He tried his best to blend in and look like a normal tourist; Quil and Embry even went as far as getting him a Goofy hat - which he instantly dismissed explaining that it would look fucking lame in front of Bella. So he walked with her, with his shades and baseball cap on - which seemed to be working, until he let his guard down for a moment to buy he and Bella a drink. He got totally mobbed.

Bella stood up fearing for his safety until he looked back at her and winked, letting her know it was ok. She smiled and sat back down watching in awe as he signed autographs for various teenagers and kids, and had pictures taken.

Jake stood there for ten minutes, making sure he gave everyone what they wanted, and then turned back and made his way to the beautiful princess waiting for him outside a restaurant.

He held out his hand and lifted her up, steadying her until she balanced herself, when he leaned in and softly whispered in her ear. "I'm sorry about that. Celebrity stuff sucks sometimes."

Bella chuckled and shook her head. "It's ok, Jake. I don't mind. As long as I get you for the rest of the day, I'm fine."

He withdrew from her, looked into her eyes and desperately wanted to dip down and kiss her; instead he cupped her cheek and smiled. "I'm all yours, honey."

For the rest of the day, they laughed, joked, messed around, went on rides - some harder than others because of her leg, but they made it work. Jake took numerous images on his phone of them having chill times throughout the day, either sitting next to each other or even going as far as cuddling up to one another.

He had texted his friends to warm them to keep the hell away while they were all there. This was Bella's day and he wanted to treat her like the beautiful woman she was. Jake bought her candy, teddy bears, souvenirs of their day; anything she wanted.

But Bella only wanted HIM, not his money. He was about to get her something else when she placed her hand gently on his wrist. "Jake, you've done enough for me today. I love the gifts you have bought me - but I want to be with YOU not your money." She tugged on his arm. "C'mon, let's go watch the parade or something."

Jake smiled, thrilled to hear she was interested in him and not his money or fame. They then left the shop and headed towards the parade, hand in hand and smiling.

Several hours later, the darkness was slowly descending upon their perfect day, both of their stomachs started to growl as the sublime aroma of the restaurants wafted through their noses.

Bella wanted a break from the crowds and the noise as they strolled through the promenade of shops on either side of Main Street. She laughed as she pointed out several things that amused her, then picked up a Minnie Mouse outfit and held it to her body, then turned back to Jake.

"What do you think? I could totally pull this off, right?" She asked, flirtatiously.

I wouldn't mind pulling it off you. Jake thought as he watched her, hungrily.

Down boy!

Quickly composing himself he mumbled. "Totally."

Bella then chuckled and told him she wanted to do a little shopping , and she needed him to buzz off for a while.

Which made him smile; now he could get her the gift he had been wanting to get her all day.

Half an hour later, they had both finished. Bella had bought Alice and Shelly tops that read "I'm the fairest of them all" - chuckling as she found the words highly fitting. She had also bought her and Jake a photo-album so they could place all the photo's they had taken in it to remember their first date.

Quil and Embry had texted Jake and let him know that the girls were tired from being on their feet all day so they were going back to the house - which he found funny. The girl who should be feeling tired and physically exhausted because of her leg, was coping much better than her best friends!

Jake hid the gift he had bought her with something he had bought his mom. He just hoped she didn't work it out before he managed to give it to her.

"How about we go have dinner, then round the night off with watching the fireworks?" He suggested, holding her bag for her and under strict instructions not to look - which naturally made him want to look even more.

"Sounds perfect," Bella said contentedly, as she held onto him.

He placed his arm around her waist, feeling more comfortable about touching her as the day progressed.

"Where to, my lady?"

A playful glint danced in her eyes as she laid her head on his shoulder. "Surprise me."

And he did exactly that. It was only fitting that they dined in the home of one of the main Disney Princesses: Cinderella Castle's Royal Table.

The castle was actually set like a castle, the lobby walls were old grey block, with ornate benches covered in red velvet. The cast-members were handing out Magic Swords to the little boys, while the little girls received Magic Wands. The staircase to the restaurant was covered in bright red carpet, the winding stairs adding to the "Magical" atmosphere.

The actual restaurant itself was beautiful; it was decorated in rich tapestries, stained glass windows, and a vaulted ceiling. There were no frilly pink and purple "princess" decorations to be found; the theme was definitely that of a medieval castle.

After they both recovered from the shock of how amazingly real it all felt, they were shown to their table. They had a candlelit dinner in a private, secluded part of the restaurant. Thanks to his celebrity status, they were able to get a table straight away - if he was your average, everyday tourist, they'd have had to make reservations. They talked, laughed, flirted and constantly gave each other sneaky glances when the other wasn't looking. Halfway through the meal, Bella placed her hand absentmindedly in the middle of the table. Jake was in two minds whether to place his hand over hers or leave it. But his hands were clearly not waiting for an answer as he reached out and covered her hand with his.

Her eyes snapped to his and she instantly smiled. "Thank you for a beautiful day. I've really had such an amazing time."

"You don't need to thank me, honey. It was my pleasure to do this for you, 'sides, it's our date, "he told her, smiling. "I only wish it could have lasted longer."

"Well, the night isn't over yet," she replied, her voice laced with seduction.

They gazed at one another intensely. Jake had never wanted to leap across a table more and pull her into his arms, kissing her wildly.

Pushing those thoughts out of his head, he decided to give her the gift he'd bought earlier.

"No the night isn't over, I have something else I want to give you." Bella looked like she was about to protest, but he interjected. "I promise, this will be the last thing I buy for you...tonight." He chuckled, winking.

Bella laughed and nodded.

Jake moved back in his chair and reached into the gift bag and pulled out a smaller more luxurious gift bag.

Her eyes widened in shock as he handed her the bag. She cautiously opened the bag and found a small red leather jewelry box. Opening the lid she saw the most amazingly gorgeous pair of diamond earrings.

Bella gasped in surprise, feeling the tears of happiness sting her eyes.

"Jake...these...I can't acc-" He reached across the table and placed his hand over hers, interrupting her.

"Please accept them. I bought them because as soon as I saw them they reminded me of you - how special you are."

Bella blushed and bit her lip. "They reminded you of me?"

Jake smiled warmly. "Yeah, because you seem to think you are this plain, ordinary girl but you have no idea how extraordinary you are. When I look at you I see this rare, precious, beautiful, amazing woman who deserves to be loved, cherished, worshipped and shown how truly remarkable she is. You are perfect and I don't want you to think otherwise, and anybody who tries to tell you so will be dealing with me," he told her, his voice full of longing and meaning.

She was speechless. "I've never been given anything so...stunning before, they are just...wow."

"That's how I feel about you, you are just...wow."

They gazed at each other lovingly. So many thoughts whirling around their minds. So much needed to be said, but now wasn't the time.

Still completely stunned, she lovingly whispered. "Thank you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as the park was about to close, they sat down on a patch of grass to watch the fireworks. The display was amazing, perfectly timed with the music, the beautiful array of colors lighting up the black sky. Jake watched in awe as Bella smiled at the display, her body absentmindedly leaning into his. She was so beautiful, she made him happy, she touched places in his heart that he never knew existed.

Jake could only hope he did the same for her.

With the fireworks now over and their day drawing to a close, they were both heading toward the exit, when he had one last idea. He gently tugged her hand and motioned for her to follow him.

Beside the castle stood a famous wishing well called "Snow White's Wishing Well" where people could make wishes, propose to their loved ones and many other things.

As they approached he took two coins out of his pocket, using one for himself and hoping Bella would take the other. She looked at him quizzically, with a smile playing upon her face.

"Jake? Why are we here?"

"This well is famous for people making wishes or proposing to the one they love. I brought you here because I'm going to see if it actually works and make a wish." He kept a hold of her hand and flipped the coin up and into the well. As it fell he made his wish.

"Now all I gotta do is wait and see." he told her, winking.

Bella raised her brow in confusion. "What did you wish for?"

He tapped the side of his nose and smiled. "I guess you'll just have to wait and see," Jake paused, looking at her, suddenly feeling nervous. "Would you make one?"

Bella smiled happily and nodded, but used her own coin - it felt more real using her own coin. She felt if she used his it would be like stealing a wish. She mirrored his actions and threw the coin in, making her own wish.

Jake watched it fall, praying that he was something to do with her wish. "What did you wish for?"

She teased him by tapping her nose and winking. "I guess You'll just have to wait and see..."

Again, please review! Lemme know what you wanna see next?
