'I don't mind you coming here,

And wasting all my time,

Cause when you're standing oh so near,

I kinda lose my mind.'

Just What I Needed, Cars

I right didn't know what to tell Bella. What could I possible say now, that would make things better. So I just let her rest herself on my chest with her arms wrapped around me. She was so perfect. Her long and incredible soft hair was spread across her shoulders, and her deep breathes were blowing promises across the skin of my neck.

It wasn't long before she was fast asleep. I stroked her hair down, and kissed her forehead. I didn't really know what we were right now, but it was progress, definite progress. I felt her phone vibrate against the couch and curiosity got the best of me. I wiggled it out of her damp jeans, she had thrown them over the couch. She had a nice, expensive looking phone and I was glad the water hadn't ruined it. She had several new messages. I didn't dare open them, but I peeked in her inbox. One was from her mom, one from Kim, and one from someone named Maurice. Maurice? Who the fuck? I could see the beginning of each message.

'Mom- Hey, Bella how did today go? Call me later if...'

'Kim- Hey, just know if you need to talk you can...'

'Maurice- Can't wait for you. You're going to love...'

Who the mother fucking bitch was Maurice? I wanted to shake Bella awake and ask her, who this bitch was. What was she going to love? I calmed myself down though. I couldn't believe I was seriously being that jealous. She just spilled her guts to you Jake. Why would she hide something like a boyfriend from you? Chill. Damn.

Bella rolled into my neck, and one of her hands fell from my chest and landed in my lap. I picked it up gently, and played with her fingers.

Just then, Kim poked her head in the door, and looked around for me. She starting talking and I put a finger to my lips. She looked confused, and stepped in. Then she saw Bella curled against me. It was like she was dancing with me in her sleep. Her head on my shoulder and my hand holding her hand.

"Is everything okay?" She whispered.

"I'm not sure, but we're getting there," I replied quietly.

"Good," Kim answered, then she waved good night and I heard Jared and Quil being noisy until Kim shushed them. Kim was a really good person. Jared had an amazing imprint, and he was so lucky that she had immediately taken a liking to him, but she couldn't even hold a candle to Bella, even on one of these days. It seemed crazy that Bella had only not liked me for maybe four hours and it still broke my heart. She was all I could think about and the guys were going to hate patrol tonight with my repeating thoughts. Sorry, guys.

I stood up, taking Bella with me. I grabbed her clothes and slung them over my shoulder and stuck her phone in my pocket. I carried her out to her car and laid her in the passenger seat of her "baby". The engine woke her up, and she rolled towards me. The divider didn't let her get far, but her sleepy hand sought out mine, and such a simple act meant the world to me. I brought it to my lips and kissed it. She fell asleep again, before truly waking up. He small body tucked itself into a ball and her neck hung limp. Her face was so beautiful, she had no walls up when she was asleep. She did however mumble a little.

"Jake...fire...vanilia ice cream...so soft...ummm." I didn't know what all of it meant, but I was pretty sure, it had something to do with me. That made me smile and I leaned over and kissed her forehead. When we pulled into her house, I parked next to my red truck. It looked so sad next to her hot rod. I pulled out her phone and put my number in along with my name, and left it on that. Then I grabbed all her stuff and walked around and again, picked her up. I walked in the house, to find Charlie asleep on the couch. I coughed and he jerked awake. He smiled when he saw Bells in my arms, and asked me to take her upstairs. I agreed, and I knew he had no idea, how much I wanted to be in her bedroom. It was so nice to have Jake on my side, and as long as he didn't know how much she effected me, then I'm sure he would let me keep seeing her.

Her room looked just as it had earlier. I sat her down on her bed, and loved how she looked in my clothes. Ugh. Annnnnd, I'm hard. Fuck. I pulled her blanket up, and placed her phone and keys by her bed, and dropped her clothes over a chair. I made sure her alarm was set, since she had a flight to catch, and then kissed her lightly on the lips, then the forehead, before whispering goodnight to her sleeping form.

Downstairs Charlie was microwaving something. "Hey, Jake, you hungry?" He asked.

"What a silly question?" I joked sitting down.

"So did you give her roofies?" Charlie laughed, in reference to Bella's sleeping form. I knew Charlie trusted me, like he would his closest friend, his son. But still, I felt a small inch of protectivness.

I laughed, somewhat tightly. "Hardly, she got wet at the beach, and then feel asleep at my house. Sorry, if she's late or anything. I didn't know when she needed to be home." I wanted to stay on very god terms with Charlie now. Plus, I didn't want him thinking that I had gotten Bella upset. It would be impossible to explain to him what was going on without him knowing about imprinting and in turn, werewolves.

"Well she is almost eighteen. My baby is grown up." He smiled sadly.

"Hey, I'm almost eighteen now too!"

"Both my babies," he cooed, and then slapped an arm on my muscled shoulder. "Really, though, thank you for helping her out. I know she is going to have trouble fitting in here. She not used to living this simple. She's used to a lot more, you know? I mean her mom makes god money. More than I've ever made," he said rolling his eyes. He had no idea how deeply his comment had effected me. She was used to money, style, rich, lush... not a rusty truck, flannel, and my tiny house.

"Uh, I also made sure her alarm was set. She said she had to get up for something tomorrow, a shoot or something."

"Oh, right. Almost forget about that. It seems so strange that people all over the world want my Bells. I mean, she isn't that tall. I always thought models were these tall, skinny freaks, but my Bella, just feels like my Bells. Of course, the heels, I'll never get used to." Charlie was so proud. It was easy to see. It was written all over him in black and white. He loved her and he trusted her decisions. That was something we had in common.

Charlie and I ate in companionable silence. Then I stood to leave. "I'm going to take care of Bells, Charlie. I promise." Charlie looked intensely at me.

"I know." Then I was out the door and in my truck. Once I was at home, I phased and started my shift. This was my first time since my imprinting.

"Jake!" Quil squealed. No mater how mature our bodies had become or how much stronger our mental compasity had exapnded to, we were all just tennage boys. Sam was the oldest and only by a couple years. We were children, lovable, loving, loved, children.

Everyone greeted me, and Paul apologized again, before unphasing. I really counldn't blame him for taking a liking to Bells. She was beautiful, and he hadn't known. He had tomorrow night's shift. Sam took the days and that left me in charge as our Beta to take control of the nights, off and on with Paul and Jared.

I told everyone to do a perimeter, and we spread out around La Push.

"So, Jake, did you catch her?" Jared finally asked. He sounded sincere, but still I didn't like it.

Just asking me about it, had made me think about it, which meant everyone saw it. I quickly locked up Bella's past before anyone could see it.

"Nice!" Embry said as he saw one of our kisses.

"What baggage?" Quil asked. "What happened to her? Is that why she doesn't like you and does like Paul?" I knew he didn't mean to think it, but he did anyway. I howled, upset. "Sorry, man, I didn't..."

"No, no, It's cool, I guess. She just had a rough past, is all," I thought as I held my thoughts at bay.

Then they saw me bring her home, and my amazing hard-on. "Dude," Jared said laughing. When we laughed as wolves it came out sounding like we were choking.

"I do not sound like I'm choking!" I snickered.

"Yes, you do."

I spent the night and morning patrolling, and tried almost successfully to keep Bella off my mind. I tried to focus on the scents around me, but the only leech I smelled were the fucking Cullens and only along our borders. I wished one of them would just cross already, so I could kill them. Especially after my dream yesterday.

"Whoa, you dreamed Bella got bit?" Embry asked. "That's so weird. I bet she hasn't even met them yet, though."

"I know. It was just a stupid dream. I don't know. It really freaked me out," I confessed. Then my shower filtered in to my mind.

"Damn, Jake!" Quil busted out laughing. This was the one thing I wished I could really control. My thoughts. Ugh.

"Okay, awesome. Well it looks like you guys have tonight." I was pissed and embarrassed.

"Jake, come on we're just... happy for you! You know that we want this to work, right? We want you and Bella to work out."

"Thanks Quil, but I don't think you guys need me, Jared, go home, Quil and Embry call if you need any help, alright?" Call meant howl.

"Cool, later Jake." Quil said, good humored.

"Thanks, Jake," Jared said as he unphased. We all saw the last thought he had. Kim smiling up at him. I sighed and unphased.

I was close to the Cullen's lines. I dare you fuckers to cross. I hope the one that can read my mind, can hear me. FUCK YOU!

Then I spit across the border and jogged back to my house. Just before falling asleep I heard my phone buzz. I picked it up sleepily and saw Bella had text me. It was 3:30, the time I had set her alarm for.

'Thank u, Jake. i would have slept all 2day. U saved me. i kno ur not up, but u were so great last night. TY for taking care of me. btw, the number thing was cute. -Bells.'

I smiled and fell back on my bed, and slept fitfully, for the first time in a days.
