Chapter 11
Bella´s POV
I watched as the door opened, unable to move or do anything. Jake stepped thru with a big smile on his face which was quickly replaced with a disgusted frown; o no he was not taking this thing with me and Edward alone in my room well. I turned to Edward so see if he was going to say something but there was no one sitting beside me, the cover was even straighten out like he hadn't been sitting there just seconds ago. I turned my head searching the room but he was nowhere. Was he hiding under the bed? He couldn't have had time to get out of the window; I hadn't even felt him move. But then again he hadn't been anywhere near that truck and he had managed to get to it in no time. Was I seriously thinking that Edward really was a vampire again? I was actually hoping on it considering the alternative was that he was hiding under the bed and I really didn't want that. At least not if Jake would find out, that would be hard to explain. What would I say?" Edward and I were studying but when you came in we decided to play hide and seek and now when you have found Edward it's his time to count?" Yes Jake would so believe that. Well he might if we were in preschool not high school. Jake looked around the room as if he was actually trying to find Edward´s hideout.
"What's up?" I finally manage to say, so not something I usually said but what the hell.
"O I just wanted to see you," Jake said giving up on his scan of the room and finally smiling again.
"Nice I was just sitting here studying all alone," I said trying not to do all those things people did when they lied thru their teeth.
"Were you feeling lonely?" Jake asked gave me a wink and sat down beside me on the bed.
"Yes very lonely," I said and giggled.
"I just have to ask did you hang out allot with Cullen today?"
"What why? O I hand biology with him as always and then we talked like in the corridor like once," I said stumbling over my words. Did I have a sign on my forehead saying liar? Why was he asking me this? Was he a mind reader? O God I hope he wasn't because then I would be busted big time.
"O nothing stupid question," Jake looked down in his lap. He looked so cute like a small puppy dog.
"Well I much rather hang out with you, but you already know that," I said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Really? He said and put his arms around me kissing me on the lips. I kissed him back and felt that familiar tingling feeling go thru my body. He pulled me closer and I ran my hands up his chest. I opened my mouth and our kissing intensified. My hands were now around Jake´s neck and I moved them up running my fingers thru his now short hair. This felt so good but I wanted to be even closer. I climbed in Jakes lap straddling him. I could hear him sigh against my mouth and my own breath became faster. Jakes hands were moving down my back and I felt him grabbing my ass moving me even closer to him. I suddenly whished that we hadn't so much clothes on, at the same time feeling terrified that if we were in this position without any clothes on we would be needing those damn condoms dad had bought. O God I did not want to think of dad now. Jake stated to kiss his way down my neck and I forgot all about dad I actually forgot how to even think at all.
" O Bella baby I want you so much," Jake mumbled while placing kisses on me his hands now moving up to my breast cupping them thru my t-shirt. I was about to say how much I wanted him when I heard dad yell from downstairs.
"There is friend from school here to see you Bella."
Jake and I stopped and looked at each other. Jake raised his eyebrows and smiled at me. Who the hell was it? And why had this person come to see me now of all times? I sighed got off Jake and headed for the door.
"Are you coming?" I said reaching out my hand for him.
"I just might need a moment," Jake said his face turning a shade darker.
"O I see, well I will just go downstairs and get rid of however it is. It is probably Jessica who wants to have a girl talk or something anyway," I said blushing trying not to look at Jake´s midsection and the very prominent bulge in his jeans. I ran down the stairs and over to the person by the door that dad was talking to. The door was opened and blocked my view so I couldn't see who it was until I reached them. My heart skipped a beat or two when I gazed into a pair of amber eyes and saw his crooked smile.
"I rang the bell and waited for someone to open I hear people do that," he said with a small laugh.
"Edward how nice to see you again," I said emphasizing the word again.
"Yes you too miss Swan, like I was telling your dad I swung by to see if I could borrow you notes from biology I seem to have lost mine and I so need to study for this biology test," I could see his lip twitch a bit as he was tying so sound sincere. Dad nodded and headed for the living room leaving me and Edward alone.
"I will go get them, you wait here," I said giving Edward a stern look.
"Sure," Edward said leaning against the doorpost with his hands in his pockets. I turned around to head upstairs when I saw Jake coming at us. To say that he looked upset might be the understatement of the year. He walked up to us and put his arm around my shoulders.
"I thought I could smell you lurking around Cullen," he said.
"Likewise Black," Edward replied to that rather weird statement.
"Well I will just go and fetch the notes that Edward wanted to borrow," I said leaving them in the hallway. What was Edward doing? He did not need to borrow any notes I was sure of it. When did I get in this mess? Nothing was going on with me and Edward and somehow it always ended up in some stare match between him and Jacob. I took my notes from my desk and ran back downstairs I did not want to give the boys any times to chitchat, who know what Edward might say.
Edward´s POV
I remained leaning on the doorpost as I waited for Bella to return with her notes. I tried to suppress a smile as I watched Jacob. He was so upset the poor boy. Being so new at this werewolf thing he had to work really hard not to turn in my presence.
"It's not good holding it in like that Jacob," I said and gave him a wink. He just stared at me and clenched his fists. His thoughts were so consumed with anger that they were hard to make out.
"I know what you are Cullen and if you even think about doing something to Bella I swear I will rip you apart," Jacob whispered stepping closer to me.
"What are you doing to protect Bella from the beast you have within? I have had decades to learn to control myself what have you had two weeks? Do not come talking to me about putting Bella in danger just look in the mirror and you will see who is really putting Bella at risk," I narrowed my eyes and searched thru Jacob´s mind.
"I would never," he said but his voice sounded a bit unsure and his thoughts were consumed with fear that he would hurt Bella. O it was just too easy just sow a seed of insecurity in someone's mind and then come back to harvest. I was sure that Jacob was already afraid that he might hurt Bella and why not help him along that strain of thoughts? Seriously it was like steeling candy from a child, and what delicious candy that was I couldn't wait until it was all mine to lick. Ringing the doorbell had now turned out to give double reward I had not just been able to interfere with the make out session in Bella´s room I had also made Jacob doubt himself around Bella. I saw Bella coming down the stairs and I stepped away from Jacob and meet her with a wide smile.
"Thank you Bella," I said and took the notes from her delicate hand.
"You are welcome," Bella answered with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"I better head home, see you two tomorrow in school," I said stepped outside and got in my car.
Bella´s POV
I watched Edward get in his car and closed the door. Well thank God that he was gone now Jake and I could take up where we left off. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around him, he seemed a bit tense.
"Bella, Jake would you like to watch the game with me?" Dad yelled from the living room. I was about to say no thank you when Jacob answered.
"Yes sure Charlie we are coming."
I couldn't hold down a sigh of disappointment. Why did Jacob want to sit in the living room with dad when he and I could be alone in my room? I didn't even know that Jake was that in to sports. He gave me a small peck on the cheek and took my hand dragging me to the living room. I tried to figure out his face expression but he seemed almost closed off. We placed ourselves on the sofa dad was sitting in his favorite armchair. The game had already started and dad was updating us to what had happened which in my opinion was absolutely nothing. Jacob put his arm around me and I cuddled close to him. The game was so boring not even sitting this close to Jacob made up for it, well at least not when I had to sit this close to him without doing anything. I had to remind myself to keep my hands in my lap about hundredth times. I yawned and shuddered a bit, not because I was cold but I was getting sleepy. No I was sure not cold sitting next to Jacob he was always so warm strangely warm when I came to think of it. Dad and Jacob did misinterpret my shuddering thou and dad told Jacob to run up to my room and fetch me a sweater. I was too tired to protest and just said.
"They are in my second drawer," I could have bitten my though off the moment I said it. I was about to yell to Jacob not to bother that I would get it myself but he was already on his way up the stairs. O dear God do not let him see the condoms, what was I thinking putting them there? What would Jacob be thinking? That I was planning on us doing something with them today if Edward hadn't shown up? This was so embarrassing, but he wouldn't see them right? But with my luck he so would. It felt like hours before Jacob came down again even thou it was just a couple of minutes. He handed me the sweater without looking at me and placed himself beside me on the sofa again. I pulled on the sweater thinking that I would probably start sweating now; I was actually already sweeting from being this nervous. I was afraid to look at Jake and I felt my face blushing. Jacob placed his arm back around me and I let out the breath I was holding. He pulled me even closer to him and whispered in my ear:
"It was lucky that I got that sweater and not your dad if you know what I mean, "Jake said and laughed a bit against my ear. I shook my head; he should only know that man beside us in the armchair was full of surprises. I did not feel that this was the time or the place to tell Jacob that it was dad who had bought the condoms so I said nothing just gave Jake a small punch in the ribs.
Edward´s POV
I had gathered a family meeting to update everyone on how it was going with Bella. Everybody thought that it was good that I had interrupted Bella and Jacob, well I didn't know about Rose she spent most of the meeting looking bored and eyeing her own reflection in every shiny surface in the kitchen, but everybody else seemed excited. Alice the most of course she keep saying that she couldn't wait until Bella was her sister.
"So I just don´t know where to go from here I can't just sit and wait for Jacob to screw up," I sighed and looked around the group.
"You need a strategy brother, sometimes being patient and strike when the enemy lest expects it is the best one," Jasper said leaning back in his chair. You could always count on Jasper to bring in a war analogy.
"Yes I guess so, what do you have in mind?"
"Back off let Bella know that you are there but don´t go after her. You are her knight in shining armor after you saved her the last time but now she thinks that she doesn't need you anymore right? Well I think that she needs a reminder," Jasper reached out for my hand I reluctantly let him take it.
"What do you mean?"
"Let´s scare the shit out of Bella and let you save her ass again," Jasper smiled and squeezed my hand.
"O tell me all about it brother I like what you are saying," I smiled and squeezed his hand back.
Bella´s POV
I was trying to concentrate on my homework but my mind kept going other places obsessing over last night's events. Jake had left after the game and I had gone to bed dreaming strange dreams about condoms and people climbing in true my window. Edward and I had spoken a couple of times during the school day and he had this constant teasing smile on his lips that was driving me crazy. It felt like he knew all my secrets somehow, it was weird and made me feel uneasy. Jake and I had only run into each other once and had only had time for a brief kiss before he had to get to PE. I sighed and put my homework aside and sat myself down at my laptop instead to check my e-mails. I was about to answer one from mom when the phone rang.
"Bella speaking."
"Hi Bella baby it´s Jess," a high pitched voice said. When had Jessica stated to call me baby? That girl was a handful.
"Hi Jessica, how are you doing?"
"Good, what are you doing, Jacob? " Jessica giggled at her own joke.
"Ha ha very funny Jess, no I am alone," I was glad that Jessica couldn't see me because my face heated up at her remark.
"Good, because I wanted us to have a girl talk and it would have been a bit hard with him there."
"Okay, whatever."
"Like have you asked Jacob to the dance yet? I asked Embry today and he said yes, like he could say no to me, but anyway have you asked him?"
"No I don´t even know if I am going Jess," I was getting a bit of headache from Jessica's chatting.
"What are you talking about? You are not seriously still thinking about asking Edward? I saw you two talking today and you seemed really close like and like that time when he drove you to school, I just thought I was gonna faint because you two looked so fucking good together.."
"Stop Jess please, I am NOT going to ask Edward, are you crazy? Jacob is my boyfriend," I interrupted Jessica before she said anything else about me and Edward.
"Thank God that would have been weird, so when are you asking Jake? We need to drive to Port Angeles to shop soon Bella," Jessica sounded eager.
"Did you not hear anything I said? Fine I will call him and ask tonight," I said and sighed.
"O great! Have Jacob talked to you about the party Embry is going to have this weekend?"
"Yes he said something about that last week, are you going?"
"Am I going? Is it rainy in Forks? Everybody is going Bells you want to ride together? Angela is driving and I think Mike and Eric are coming too."
"Fine we can go together," I said actually starting to feel a bit excited, say what you want to about Jessica and Embry but they really knew how to party.
"See you tomorrow Bella and call Jacob and ask him now, fuck do you know how lucky you are? Jacob is like so hot", Jessica giggled on the other end.
" Jessica! I will see you tomorrow," I hanged up before she could say anything else and immediately called Jakes number. After some small talk I asked him if he wanted to go to the dance and he did of course say yes. We ended up talking about how much we missed each other which was a bit pathetic considering we had hanged out just yesterday. He did not say anything about the condoms and I had absolutely no intention to bring them up. Before we hanged up Jake said something about that he would never ever hurt me no matter what someone said. I just said okay but I really didn't get what he meant. What someone said? I suppressed the urge to lie down and stare at a picture I had of Jacob on my phone and started with my homework again.
Jacob´s POV
I remained sitting on my bed after hanging up the phone. The last twenty-four hours since Edwards's remark had been hell. I knew that I would never ever hurt Bella on purpose but what if I lost control? Sam had told me that he had once and it had ended up with his girlfriend getting a scar all over the right side of her face. Maybe I should just stay away from Bella, but then I would hurt her by doing that. And there was no way that I could stay away from Bella I was so in love with her. I even loved her loved her. I hadn't said the words to her but it didn't make it any less true. Last night after Edward had left I had been afraid to be alone with Bella and I had been relived when her dad asked us to watch the game with him. I did notice that Bella seemed a bit disappointed thou and I was cursing my insecurities even more when I found that pack of condoms in her drawer. I had no idea that Bella was planning that much ahead for us, I kind of thought that she would let me buy those. I started to pace back and forth in my room. What was I going to do? There was no way in hell that I could stay away from Bella but how could I risk hurting her?
O Jake you would never hurt Bella don't let Edward get to you. In the next chapter there will be time to party! Let's just say that you who have been feeling bad for Mike not getting any do not need to worry anymore. Okay I get that nobody really cared about that, but you are a bit curious now right? And considering the party will be in La Push there will be no Edward there to make Bella feel uncomfortable . The next chapter will of course be for my love of a party animal named Emb..
