This chapter won't involve sex but it will involve a sex talk and a super embarrassing dad so if any of you take offence to that sort of thing don't say I didn't warn you. (lol)
Disclaimer: I don´t own it, just making Charlie allot more proactive.
For my love of Charlie
Bella´s POV
I tried to think of something to say as I saw Jake approaching me and Edward. Not that I needed to explain myself, it was Jacob who hadn't called me or answered any of my texts for almost a week and it wasn't like I and Edward had something going on anyway he had just given me a ride, still I felt like I had be caught with my hand in the cookie jar. Edward just studied Jacob with narrowed eyes tilting his head to the side. As Jake reached us I had to try really hard not to lean on Edward for support because I suddenly felt so nervous that I was literally afraid I might fall down, and not because Jake seemed upset, but because he looked so freaking hot. He was wearing ha tight black T shirt that did nothing to disguise his muscular body and a pair of well fitted jeans but the most prominent thing was that he had cut his hair off. I mean I thought he was hot before but now the things I wanted to do to him was hardly something suitable for a PG-13 movie hell they were hardly something suitable for showing on a movie theater at all. I felt sweaty all over and I was sure that my face was blood red, I still hadn't figured out what to say so I went with a simple:
"Hey"
"Hello," Jacob replied as he stared intensely at Edward and me. The tension in the air was so thick that you could cut a knife through it. I felt worried that Edward and Jake would start a fight or something.
"You! Why haven't you called me back?" I said suddenly feeling angry at Jacob for ignoring me for a week and then just showing up and acting like it was me who had done wrong.
Jacob looked guilty and nervous at the same time; you could literally see how he was trying to think up an answer.
"Yes why haven´t you called Bella? She has a right to know," Edward said leaning in close to Jacob a small smile playing on his lips.
A treble went through Jake´s body and he stepped away from Edward with a disgusted look on his face.
"You should leave now," he whispered to Edward through clenched teeth.
"Or you do what? " Edward raised his eyebrows and gave Jake a superior gaze.
"I have nothing more to say," Jake shook his head as he started to turn away from us. That waked me up from my impassive state and I stepped after him.
"Well I have tons, hold on."
I saw Edward shaking his head as I followed Jake.
Jacob´s POV
Bella placed a hand on my arm and all my intentions of being angry with her disappeared. I just felt foolish, Bella had been right I hadn't called her for almost a week and even though I had my reasons, one being that it was hard to pick up a phone with a paw; it must seem like I was a jerk who kissed a girl and then ignored her. I had no idea how to explain to Bella without telling her that I had turned into a werewolf and I had I felling that she wound have a hard time believing that. I turned to face her and took her hand in mine deciding that crawling in the dust for Bella was the best approach I could think up.
"Look Bella I have been really under the weather this week, I know I should have called, can you forgive me?" I gave her a cautious smile.
Bella just looked at me for a while then her face light up with my favorite smile.
"Well okay, but don´t do it again Black," she said and squeezed my hand.
I felt like jumping up and down doing a small victory dance. Bella was holding my hand and she had forgiven me. In your face Cullen! Thinking about Edward, which I now knew was a vampire even though I still really couldn't believe it, made me upset again. Why had he given Bella a ride to school? Was there something going on with the two of them? I remembered what Jessica had said at the bonfire about Bella asking Edward to come with her there. I suddenly felt very jealous, I had been away for a week and Bella was already riding to school with Edward my mortal enemy. Bella must have noticed my change in mood because she was looking at me with a confused expression. I forced a smile and still holding her hand started walking towards the school. It felt so right holding her small hand in mine, like it belonged there. I wanted to kiss her hand, I wanted to kiss her lips too but I felt too self-conscious. I had no idea what state mine and Bella relationship was at. Yes we had made out but we hadn't spoken since and now she was riding to school with Edward fucking bloodsucker Cullen. I knew that we had to talk but the corridors of Fork High were hardly the place to do it. We walked hand in hand until we reached Bella´s locker, she let go of me and started to open it. I leaned on the locker next to hers and studied her as she pulled out her books. She gave me a sideway glance and we both blushed.
"Can we sit together at lunch? So we can talk I mean," I said feeling nervous that she might want to sit with Cullen, not that I had ever seen him sitting with anyone other than his clan of leeches.
"Yes of course we can, see you there," Bella said and started to make her way over to Jessica who was hanging at the other end of the corridor not even trying to hide that she was dying to find out what we had just said.
"C´mon brother we will be late for class," Embry said grabbing my arm. We started walking and when we passed the girls Embry made a wink at Jessica saying:
"Looking good Jess," making her giggle and whisper something to Bella.
Edward´s POV
This day had started out so well and now it was turning into a fucking nightmare. I tried not to stare at the table at the other end of the cafeteria but my eyes kept wandering over there. Over to Bella who was laughing at something that fucking dog was saying. Alice placed her cool hand over mine trying to get me to calm down. I yanked my hand away dragging it through my already entangled hair. I had had it all perfectly planed out and everything was going right according to plan and then he had to show up and intervene. At first I thought that he was going to lose it there in the school yard, God it would have been so funny watching him turn into the dog he was but he had manage to hold it back, damn shame. Then I had been counting my lucky stars when Bella went at him with him not returning her calls and him being at total jerk not even apologizing, but then what could you expect from a dog? He was hardly a gentleman like me. Where had everything gone wrong? Because now Bella was sitting with him, apparently she had forgiven that dog posing as teenage boy. Bella was apparently not someone to hold a grudge. Somewhere in the back of my mind I wondered if her ability to forgive Black so soon had anything to do with the way he looked today. That boy was sex walking around on two legs. Hell if I weren't as straight as one could be I would have had a total boner when he was walking over to us in the schoolyard, just thinking about that had me adjusting myself a bit in my jeans.
"She will come around Eddie, I just had a vision of her visiting our house," Alice said looking at me with an excited appearance.
"Really? Well I will just have to trust you on that you were right about her calling me for a ride after her battery went missing," I said and smiled at my lovely sister.
"It wouldn't be the fucking car battery I tripped over in the hallway this morning?" Rosalie said giving me a hostile look.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," I said tying to look innocent. Rosalie just sighed and rolled her eyes.
Bella´s POV
"So you just asked Cullen for a ride because your car wouldn't start?" Jacob said giving me a questioning look.
"Yes I already told you so," I said and took another bite of my salad.
Here I was the one who had a million questions for Jake and somehow it ended up with him question me. Well I had told him everything, well I hadn't said anything about the weird encounter I and Edward had in the woods but that was hardly even worth mentioning. Especially when I then had to tell Jake that I suspected that Edward was a vampire. I did not want Jacob to think that I was a complete nutcase.
"I know, sorry. Now when I am feeling okay again maybe we could hang out this weekend?" Jacob asked giving me a shy smile.
"Yes I guess so," I answered trying to sound a bit hard to get, doing a horrible job at it because I was blushing and my voice sounded way too happy.
But who was I trying to fool here? Jake had totally ignored me for a week and I had forgiven him in like two seconds. When had I become such a pushover? All it took was one look at Jacob and I was drooling all over.
"Great, what do you want to do?"
"Well maybe we could see another of your DVD´s, this time maybe something with a bit more action," I said and winked at him.
I could see Jacob looking a bit nervous and swallowing really hard. Why the hell had I winked at him after saying that thing about action? Yes that was subtle Bella, now he probably thinks that you are expecting some action on the couch. I was not even sure that I could handle that kind of action.
"Okay, let´s do it, I mean that, I mean watch a movie," Jake said stumbling over his words and I could see his face turning a shade darker.
Jacob´s POV
I couldn't sleep I just kept tossing and turning all night. Bella was coming over tomorrow and I still weren't sure if she was my girlfriend or not. I really wanted her to be my girlfriend. Maybe I should just ask her. Just plain and simple say that I was in love with her and that I wanted her to be my girlfriend. And then it was this crazy werewolf thing, Sam had said that I under no circumstances could tell Bella about it. I hated to keep things from Bella and I so wanted to tell her not to hang out with Edward because he was a vampire. Yes I knew that he and his family were supposed to only drink from animals but I did not trust them. It was like with that story of the scorpion and the frog and the frog asks the scorpion why he stung him and the scorpion answers "I could not help myself. It is my nature". A vampire's nature was to drink from humans however much they promised not to. I finally dosed off and didn't wake up until my dad yelled at me not to sleep all day. I looked at my watch it was already elven and I better get out of bed if I wanted to clean my room before I had to pick up Bella. Her car was still not working, Charlie had checked on it and apparently the battery was missing. Who would steal a car battery from an old truck? Well I didn't mind picking Bella up I kind of liked having her in my car. Maybe I would put my arm around her shoulders as we drove here, I smiled at the thought.
I picked up Bella at two and we started the drive to my home. We talked about safe subjects like the weather and our dad's obsession with fishing, we both hated sitting around waiting to catch something. Bella made a great impression of my dad telling one of his fishing stories about when he had couth the biggest fish ever. I laughed so hard that tears stated to run down my cheeks. I noticed that Bella had moved closer to me on the seat and I was about to put my arm around her shoulders when Bella pointed at something on our left and said:
"Is that Sam Uley?"
I looked to my left and saw Sam and the other members of the pack standing on a cliff obviously preparing to cliff dive. O great now Bella would want to know what they were up to. Maybe one of them would turn and Bella would find out about the werewolf thing without me having to break my promise to Sam. I wasn't even sure I could break it apparently he was some sort of leader of the pack and we all had to do what he said, that totally sucked.
"Yes him and his cult," I said and rolled my eyes.
"O my god, pull over Jake" Bella said yanking at my arm.
"No way Bella, they are not really fighting, they are cliff diving. We do not want to stop and watch them, they will only get cockier than they already are if we stand and watch them like we are routing for their team or something."
"There is a team? And aren't we kind of on their team in that case? I saw Embry over there he´s like your best friend" Bella said raising her eyebrows.
"Well I guess I am kind of on their team now whether I want it or not," I muttered.
"What do you mean?" Bella said giving me a look indicating that she hadn't a clue what I was talking about.
"Nothing, anyway I like to think that you and I have our own team, team Bella and Jake against the world."
"Yes bring it on, let's see them trying to mess with our team we will take them out easily," Bella said and laughed.
She moved closer to me and I could feel her arm brush against mine. I suddenly felt nervous not knowing what to do. We just sat like that a while not saying anything until Bella busted out:
"What more do I have to do for you to put your arm around me? Do I have to complain to be cold or something? O Jake it's so chilly in here," Bella said and started to giggle. I did not need more encouragement I put my arm around her and pulled her close to me.
"I wouldn't normally do this but considering that we have our own team now I will make an exception," I said trying to sound serious.
"Do we? I mean do we have our own thing, are we a thing or I don't know," Bella was speaking fast and I saw her blushing.
Was she asking what I hoped she was? God I hoped she was because here went nothing.
" Well I know that I at least very much would like us to be a thing, I mean I´m in love with you Bella and I want you to pick me instead of any other guy.," I said feeling relived I finally said it but also feeling terrified of what she might answer.
"Well of course I want to be with you and what other guy would I pick? Seriously Jake I am in love with you. You are my best friend and like the hottest guy on this planet," Bella said refusing to look at me.
"Really on this planet? Not like in the entire universe?" I said laughing.
"O shut up Jake," Bella said and made a pouting face.
"Sorry Bella, and for the record I think you are the hottest girl in the universe," I said kissing her on the cheek.
We pulled up to my house and as soon as I had turned the engine off I pulled Bella even closer to me and kissed her. She kissed me back and we ended up staying in the car making out for half an hour. We were finally able to pull apart and go into the house but we just said hello to Billy and then went to my room and picked up where we had left of.
The following two weeks just flew by, Bella and I hanged out every chance we got. Mostly at my home but we also went to the movies and hanged out at Bella's place. I was on cloud nine Bella was actually my girlfriend. It was still hard to believe because it was like a dream come true. We had made out allot, well actually one time till both our lips started to bleed then we had to take a break, not for long though. We hadn't done anything to advanced not that I didn't want to. Because god did I want to. I had jacked off thinking of Bella so many times these past fourteen days I was starting to feel like a pervert. We were taking it slow which was fine by me, I was actually really nervous about going any further but sometimes when we were alone I was a bit afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop myself and that I would do something to upset Bella, not that she seemed to mind when I touched her. No I knew for a fact that at least her body wanted me to touch her, I could even smell that, this whole werewolf thing could be a bit creepy sometimes like that I could smell when Bella was aroused and to be honest she was aroused allot when I was around, kind of like all the time.
Bella's POV
I should have known something was up the second I stepped inside; a burned sent reached me from the kitchen, o great Charlie was cooking. I went in there to see if I could at least rescue something so that we wouldn't have to starve. Charlie was standing by the stove swearing to himself and trying to stir something unidentifiable in a pot.
"What are you doing dad?" I asked while coming to the conclusion that whatever Charlie had been trying to make, it was beyond salvaging.
"I'm making some dinner but I think that we should eat some sandwiches instead," Charlie answered and threw the pot in the sink.
"God idea," I said and started to take out some things from the refrigerator.
We sat and ate in silence for a while. I like that about Charlie that you can sit and not talk, but all of sudden he started to clear his throat repeatedly. I even started to worry that he might have gotten something caught in there when he finally started to speak.
"Um Bella I hardly ever see you here at home anymore, you are always hanging around with Jacob. Which I think is great you know I like him, and I don't mind you being I La Push it gives me a reason to come down there more often.." Charlie was speaking uncharacteristically fast and small drops of sweat were appearing on his forehead. I was wondering where he was going with all this.
"…and I know you think I´m old boring guy but I was young once too you know and I want you to know that you can always talk to me about anything, and I mean anything," he finally stopped and inhaled looking at me as if expecting me to say something.
"O thanks dad, good to know," I said giving him a puzzled look.
"I know you are a responsible girl but I got you these just in case," Charlie said and put something on the table between us.
It took me a few seconds to realize what it was but when I did I felt myself turning red from my toes up to my forehead. There between us in plain sight lay a pack of condoms. O my god this was not happening. What did he want me to say? I was thinking of just running up to my room lock the door and never come out again, but before I could do that Charlie started to speak again.
"I didn't know which type to get so I asked Irene at the gas station and she.."
"I'm sorry what?" I interrupted him.
"I asked Irene down at the gas station, had to say that they weren't for me, you know how people talk. She thought that I was a very responsible dad who got my daughter condoms. Well anyway there were all this different types and Irene said I better get these well because like.." I heard Charlie swallow really hard refusing to look at him. "…Jake is kind of like pretty um tall you know."
Charlie did not just say that. He did not just say that he had been down at the gas station, were everybody in Forks got their gas, discussing which type of condoms me and Jake should use. That could not have happened; I must be having some horrible nightmare. I pinched my arm to prove it but unfortunately it hurt. Before Charlie could say anything else I grabbed the pack and ran up the stairs to my room. I was holding the embarrassing item in my hand not wanting to look at it. Where the hell was I going to put it? I did not even want to think about what Charlie had meant with that "um tall you know" thing. I finally pulled out a drawer and put it under some sweaters totally trying to erase the words extra-large from my head. I looked at the drawer feeling like I had put a ticking bomb in there. Dad had bought us condoms and we hadn't even been close to doing anything that would require them. Well dad was obviously under that impression but then again he got his information on teenage relationships from gossip girl. Yes I had caught him watching the show a couple of times claiming he was just waiting for a game to start. Maybe I should enlighten him to the fact that his daughter was no Blair Waldorf or Serena Van der Woodsen. A scratching sound on my window interrupted my intense staring at the drawer. I saw to my astonishment that Edward was climbing in through my window.
"What the hell are you doing Edward?" I asked trying to keep my voice low so that Charlie wouldn't hear me.
"Just paying you a visit, I thought that we could hang out," Edward answered with a stunning smile as he landed on the floor.
"Have you ever heard of front doors? You know ring the bell and wait until someone opens?"
"Don't be such a bore Bella, this way you don´t have to introduce me to you dad, I bet he would have a problem with us hanging out in your room all alone, or maybe he´s more liberal than I thought," Edward said raising one of this eyebrows and strolled over the floor in the direction of my chest of drawers.
"No you are right Edward, what do you want to do? I said almost falling down as I was trying to put myself in-between Edward and the drawers.
Edward caught me and helped me regain balance.
"Strange how I always have to save you Bella," Edward said not letting go of my arm.
I felt my cheeks turn bright red. What was going on? Edward and I all alone in my room, I know that I said that we should be friends but it felt a bit wrong. I was thinking of how I was going to get him to leave without being rude.
"You know it´s kind of late Edward and I have to study so maybe we can take a rain check?" I said faking a yawn.
"I need to study too we could help each other study for the biology test next week," Edward said finally letting go of my arm and walking over to my desk grabbing the biology book.
"I guess we could," I said feeling relived that he had let go of me and that we would have something useful to do.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad idea, maybe Edward would feel at ease and tell me more about himself. God I had to find out more about him, not knowing drove me crazy. Edward had placed himself on my bed and was looking at some questions in the book. I sat down beside him and he started to ask me the questions and I tried to answer the best I could. The time just flew by and I was about to say that we should call it a night when I heard the doorbell ring. Charlie must have opened because I heard muffled voices from downstairs.
"Bella Jake is here, I will send him up," Charlie yelled from downstairs.
I froze feeling sick. What the hell would Jake think if he found me and Edward alone in my room? O my God this would be hard to explain. I tried to think of something to say but my mind was completely blank all I could do was gaze at the door as the handle was being pressed down.
Oops Bella…
Creepy Edward refusing to use the front door, well nothing is new there, and how about Charlie I kind of love him. Well the next chapter is going to be exciting I don't want to give too much away but I can say that Edward is scheming worse than ever and someone who knows all about strategizing is a southern gentleman so the next chapter will be for my love of Jas…
