Jacob and I lay in the bed naked for about an hour. The entire time my head was on his chest. I was drawing invisible patterns on his skin with my finger. He was lightly twirling a lock of my hair around his finger. Every few minutes or so, he would whisper to me that he loves me. I would reply back to him every single time without hesitation. "I love you too, Jacob, so much."
After that first hour, I began to feel the stickiness from all of the sweat.
"Jacob," I murmured.
"Yeah, baby doll?" he mumbled into my hair.
"I need to go take a shower."
I looked up into his face while he started down into mine. His eyes were filled with sudden sadness at the thought of letting me go. But then his eyes were gleaming.
"You stay here, try to sleep for a little bit. I'll go draw up a bath for you." He told me sweetly.
"Jake, you don't have to do that." I protested.
"I know I don't have to do that. Silly, Bella, I want to do that for you." He disappeared from the doorframe and into the bathroom. I adjusted my position until I was lying on my stomach with my head resting on my folded arms. I sighed inwardly and outwardly. He was so sweet.
I had no regrets about being with Jacob. And I had no regrets about choosing Jacob over Edward. For someone who only wants my happiness (Edward), he sure seems to be causing me a lot of misery. I wasn't upset that I wasn't with him. No, that wasn't it at all. I was upset that he couldn't, or rather that he wouldn't leave me alone. I was with Jacob now. When I thought about that, my mind conjured up a picture of Jacob's smiling face. He was my personal sun. I drifted off with Jacob in my head.
"Bella," someone was whispering my name. "Bella, honey," I felt fire pick me up. I knew that I was being moved into the bathroom, but my body didn't register the movement. After a half of a minute, I felt the fire let go of me. Replacing it was a slightly cooler feeling, but still warm. Finally after all of the fire was gone, I opened my eyes. I sat up wondering what was going on. I looked around. Jacob was in the process of pulling on a pair of cut off shorts. In my head I was practically screaming. His shorts clung to his tapered hips. His V-muscle was agonizingly sexy. His abs, they were amazing as well. He possessed more sex appeal than should be legal. I wanted to take him right there on the bathroom floor. Or even in the tub…hmm.
Jacob turned around to look at me, and a grin spread out across his face. I smiled shyly back. I had just given up the last thing that I had to give to this man, and I was feeling shy? What was wrong with me?
"Bella, do you have any clue how beautiful you look right now?" he asked me in an almost whisper. My tongue was suddenly dry beyond belief, so I only shook my head no. I began to look around for a cup or something to wet my hair down easily. Jacob was staring at me curiously when I looked back at him.
"I need a cup or something, so I can wet my hair down. This is only a bathtub, you know. No shower spray."
"Silly, Bella. I have the cup. But I'm going to wash your hair." He said to me softly. I shivered lightly as his breath hit my face. His woodsy scent was going to make me faint, it smelled so good. Jacob tipped the cup beneath the surface of the water. The water was sucked into the cup in a swirling motion. I felt one of his fingers come up underneath my chin and tilt my head back. My hair fell down to the middle of my back. The water poured over my head as he tipped the cup. It soaked my hair and drizzled down my back. It didn't go anywhere near my eyes. His hands flowed through my hair, lifting it up slightly so that the underside would get wet. I leaned back and began to relax, letting the hot water work through my sore muscles. I would be hurting for quite some time from my previous….activities.
After Jake washed my hair and rinsed it out again, he let the water drain out and he stood me up. For just a second I felt slightly self-conscious, being once again completely unveiled to Jacob's eyes. But then I remembered our hours of love making. He had seen me then, and he had loved what he saw. Standing here, fresh out of the tub was not going to change that opinion. Jacob loved me, and he loved my body, and nothing would ever change that.
"Bella?" I heard my name. "Bella? Here, love, here's your towel." Jacob said as he wrapped the large fluffy towel around my body. It was warm from his overly hot hands and body. I pulled it tighter around my small frame as Jacob picked me up bridal style and took me into the room. Once he lay me down on the bed, I felt suddenly very tired. My eyes began to droop as he covered me up. I saw him begin to pull a pair of shorts on as my eyes finally closed all the way.
*x*x*x*x*
I could see light through my eyelids. It wasn't blinding, but it was annoying. There was some background noise as well. Someone was moving around in my room. I opened one eye and looked around my room. Jacob was no longer in my room, but my mother was. She was opening drawers to my dresser and putting clothes in them.
"Mom, what are you doing?" I asked her, my voice sounded groggy from sleep.
"Putting away some clothes for you," she said it as if it was obvious, which it was, but hey, I just woke up!
"Mom, not to be rude, but can you go out so I can get dressed? I took a bath and didn't feel like getting dressed." I explained it in a way that didn't involve me and Jacob having mind blowing fucktacular sex and him giving me a bath afterwards.
"Yeah, hurry up Bells, Phil is taking all of us out to dinner before you and Jacob leave to go back to Forks." She told me as she walked out the door.
I got dressed and walked out of my room right into the arms of…..
Okay so here is chapter eleven. I know it's been forever and ever since I've updated. I'm so sorry. I'm not going to bore you with my excuses though. I know that this is a cliffy, but that just makes the wait much more fun. I purposely didn't say whether those arms were hot, cold, or human temperature. Ohhh. Okay, so I hope you enjoyed it. If not, bring on the flames, I can take it. Either way, I would love it if you reviewed!
