Jacob lifted me onto his back and sped off into the forest again. I couldn't help but laughing as the trees flew past. Even though we had broken our promise to Charlie it was worth it. Nothing could have prepared me for that. Now the bond between Jacob and I was even stronger. Nothing and no one would ever break that.
We arrived back at the house quickly. We were both desperate to shower, so Jacob kissed my cheek and left. I ran inside hoping to avoid Charlie. Luckily he was out – he'd left a note to say that he'd gone fishing with Harry Clearwater. I ran up the stairs, threw my clothes off and enjoyed a long, hot shower.
Jacob ran through my mind as the water smothered me. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he looked, how perfect he was. I almost fell over in the shower as I began to feel dizzy. I ran my fingers through my hair as I washed it. Soon enough I felt clean again. I stepped out and decided to change my clothes. If I wore something similar then Charlie wouldn't notice.
That evening I invited Jacob over. Charlie was spending the evening at the Clearwater's so we had the house to ourselves. As he strolled through the front door I began daydreaming; it was a few years later. I had been at home all day looking after the children and suddenly my husband came through the door. I was delighted to see him as was he. He ran over to my side and picked me up in his arms. We kissed delicately and then he picked up the children also. I opened my eyes and came flooding back to reality. I liked that. Mr Black. I swooned at the thought. Jacob caught me and leaned down to kiss me once more. It was exactly like the dream.
Far too soon for my liking he put me back on my feet and entered the kitchen. The smell of his favourite dinner couldn't keep him away for long. In a few minutes I served the food then we tucked in. I could tell he was starving as neither of us had eaten all day. Also as our little encounter earlier had worn the both of us out. Despite this, he ate his meal slowly to savour the taste. He was asking for seconds though but I didn't mind. I was glad that he was enjoying it.
After a while we were both full. He found my hand and lead me along to the stairs. Pretending that I was tired I asked him to carry me. As he walked up the stairs it reminded me of the day dream – I was in his arms. It was as if he was carrying me like a bride – it was also surreal because we were on our way to my bedroom.
He put me down on the bed and closed the door. This time I began the kiss as my hands moved through his hair. Suddenly he stopped. He shot up and began to growl. His whole frame was shaking, I became frightened.
"Jake, what's the matter?" I began to cry. I knew what this meant, if he became angry he could phase. I knew how dangerous he could be if that happened, when he was raged like this. His cold eyes locked in mine. Despite his spite I couldn't look away. He was forcing me to look at him. I struggled and he released his hold on me.
"I'm sorry Bella, but I have to go." With that he was gone, out of my window. I wept silently into my pillow as I heard his car drive away. Change was coming, I could feel it. A sudden knock at the door alerted me and sharpened my senses. I thought that maybe it was Jacob. Maybe whatever he had angry about didn't matter anymore. Maybe be had calmed down.
I ran down the stairs and opened the door. However, the perfect face did not belong to the person I had expected. Standing before me was Edward Cullen. Instantly I threw my arms around him. My longing for Jacob disappeared instantly as my other side took over. I couldn't believe it, Edward was back. Edward. He was here. Edward was really here, with me. I soaked his shirt.
"Edward," I sobbed, "you're here. You're really here." That was all I could bring myself to say. His golden eyes locked in mine. Suddenly I began to sway. I had forgotten to breathe again.
"There now, my love. It's ok. I'm here and I won't leave you again. I can't bare to be away any longer". My memory had not done him justice. He velvet voice was softer than I could have imagined. His golden eyes, his beautiful face. I drank it all in. I pushed myself against his chest and breathed deeply. He kissed my forehead and sighed. His breath was sweeter than I remembered. He was so perfect. I loved him so much.
His kissed my forehead, then my nose, then my lips. I kissed him back, with more passion than I had ever experienced in my life. This was stronger than what I had felt with Jacob. Even though his name came to my mind I didn't care. I was being greedy, I wanted them both. I wanted him now. He crushed his lips against mine deepening the kiss. His free hand ran over my face and wiped away my tears. Then his tongue danced over my lips. He tasted heavenly. It was more magical then I could ever have imagined. I loved Edward Cullen more than I had ever known. Of course I loved Jacob but this, this was different. This bond was sacred and I knew that my love for the man before me was far greater than anything I had ever experienced.
He took his hand in mine. His cool touch soothed me, as I was used to the heat. I knew he couldn't read my mind, but I wished that he could. I wanted him to so badly. He would finally see just how much he meant to me, how much I had missed him and how badly I wanted him right now.
My lungs gave a sigh and so Edward pulled away. Gasping for breath I couldn't breathe. I had forgotten about needing air again, seriously, what was wrong with me?
As I struggled to catch my breath again, I gasped,
"Edward? Why did you come back? Why did you leave? Where's Alice?" I soon stopped as his cool finger was on my lips. Even his finger tasted sweet.
"I left because I hated knowing that I was the one putting you in danger. I came back because I couldn't stand to be away any longer. And, as for Alice, I sent her here. She told me just how desperate you were. I was worried also because she could no longer see you. I was just as afraid as she was. Then when I got here I could smell something horrible, but I couldn't hear their thoughts. They had gone too far away…"
I stopped him this time putting my finger on his lips. He pulled my hands over his neck and smiled my favourite crooked smile. His breath swam round my head once again when he said,
"I love you Bella Swan." He had no idea what affect those words had on me. I collapsed into his arms as he carried me outside.
"I can hear Charlie, he's less than a minute away. Let's get out of here." Lifting me in his arms he ran at his full speed. I had forgotten how fast he was as well as how elegant. He gracefully danced between the trees and it made me wonder how it was possible. Again I couldn't help but smile at him as we flew threw the trees. Shortly we were in the meadow again. Once more I was grateful that he couldn't read my mind. I began to feel guilty as I replayed this morning's events.
He lay me down on the grass and hummed softly in my ear. It had been so long since I had heard my lullaby. I had forgotten how beautiful it was, and how much it soothed me. He rolled over on my front and began kissing me again. His breath filled me once more as he ran his hands down my back. Edward was much quicker than Jacob, he had gotten my top off in the blink of an eye. I also couldn't help but notice that he was also much more graceful as he kissed me. He was less rough and more controlled. As he ran his hands over my body it felt as if I was on fire. Wherever his hand had been a fire began.
The sensation was thrilling. Before I could change my mind my hand was unbuttoning his shirt also. I was not as fast as he was obviously, as he was already flinging my trousers off. As I took off his shirt I began to feel scandalous. Was I cheating on Jacob? Or had I been cheating on Edward with Jacob? Who was I meant to be with? How could I decide? Despite the small nudge I felt from inside me, the part of me that loved Jacob, I carried on removing his clothes. Right now I no longer cared. I just wanted to be with him.
Soon enough all that was left was my underwear and his. This became all too familiar as he unhooked my bra and removed my knickers. I couldn't believe what I was doing, how could I do this again? How could I hurt Jacob like this? But then the other part of me now removing Edward's last garment willed me to carry on. Soon we were both exposed and we moved closer together.
I stopped thinking completely as Edward began to kiss me again.
I know what you are thinking, how can Bella do this to Jacob? In the same day! Naughty Bella! At this point Edward is unaware of her attachment with Jacob. And even though Jacob left because he could hear Edward coming (he heard his decision to see her) he also has no idea what they are up to.
Like I said, the story is beginning to get much more complicated. Is the prologue beginning to make sense now? I'm sure that you will figure it out sooner or later.
Meanwhile Billy and Charlie have no idea about any of this. Lets just hope that the wolves don't hear of this…
Once again, thanks for the reviews. Jade you are AMAZING. Love you (:
Enjoy. I will begin the next chapter as soon as my mind is no longer blank.
Bye! Love from Ele Xx
