Hi readers. This is a sort of filler chapter for now…just meant to give a little bit of info before I introduce the wonderful movie date. It's very important now that I hear from you all in reviews: I have a major vote to have you make, and it will have your options at the end.
Anna: Clone goes out to Amy, our newest reviewer!
Jacob: Thank you all! Fall Out Guirl really appreciates your reviews, frequent reviewers and new.
Anna: Now onto our disclaimer. I only belong to Fall Out Guirl.
Jacob: And I belong to Stephenie Meyer, along with Bella, Edward, and Esme. Plus everything else…
Anna: Hey Jake, what do you think of Bella and my evil plan?
Jacob: What evil plan?
Anna: MUHAHA
Jacob: O.o Uh oh…
Love is the sweetest of all gifts. It provides the most powerfully evoked emotions in the mind that ever exist.
Stubbornness was not part of these gifts.
"Jake, get out of the car. Bella and Edward will be wondering why I'm standing here yelling at the Rabbit," I complained, stopping myself from stomping my foot. Inside the car was Jacob, his arms crossed and a glare of pure frustration across his face.
"No. I told you, I don't want to go in there. I'm already violating the treaty as it is," he growled. I sighed, trying to think of a way to coax him out.
"Come on, Jake. Your stupid treaty is a pathetic brawl between two sets of people who refuse to act like adults, and much more like children," I insisted. He rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"No, it's not. It's perfectly logical: they hate us and we hate them. Simple," he answered. An idea instantaneously popped into my head, as I leaned against the car door.
"Jake," I purred, his gaze snapping to me. His eyes widened, as I placed my fingers against the glass. He was putty in my hands. "You've really hurt me, Jake. I guess this means no more driving to your house…no more lunch dates, no more hugs," I listed off, and he seemed confident until I spoke my last offer.
"No more kisses…" I had never seen him leap out of the car faster. The door swung open, and he immediately ran up to my side, placing a hard kiss on my cheek.
"Aw, come on, Anna. You wouldn't do that to me," he begged, his hand intertwining with mine. I wrapped an arm around him, pulling his head towards me.
"You're right, I wouldn't. But I got you out of the car," I whispered, snatching his keys out of his hands and running to the Cullen house.
"ANNA!" I heard him roar, as I ran all the way to the door. I saw a massive brass knocker, and I clanged it repeatedly as he advanced on me. The door swung open just in time, as Jacob skidded to a stop behind me. He grabbed my waist, yanking me back against his warm chest. My legs lifted off the ground, and I was surprised yet again by his strength. I let out a little squeal, and he just chuckled at me!
At the door stood a beautiful woman, brown hair tumbling down her shoulders. She looked no older than twenty-four, and she had amazing topaz eyes. Her rounded chin was sculpted to perfection, and her slim figure seemed to suit her perfectly.
"Hello, you must be Anna," she greeted me, a warm smile across her face. She nodded at Jacob, her smile not fading. He nodded back, as I returned her smile.
"Hi, and you are?" I asked, as I heard footsteps behind her.
"I am Esme Cullen, Edward's mother. Please, come in," she offered, opening the door wide enough for us to enter. Jacob slid his hand in mine, his head bent down as I lead him inside.
The room was the most magical sight I had ever seen. A chandelier hung with a small table in the center of the room, a staircase leading up. Even a small sofa was there as well!
I saw Bella sitting there, Edward's arms draped around her. She stood up, running towards me, her grin wide and full of joy.
"Anna!" she cried, as I wrapped my arms around her. She laughed, releasing me as she turned to hug Jacob. He gingerly hugged her, and the moment that she released, he wrapped his arm around me.
Edward stood up, a casual flop of hair in his eyes. He strode over as graceful as a cat, his hand outstretched as he shook Jacob's and mine. Jacob did not say a word, and he surprised me.
"I hope you all found our house all right," Edward said, his eyes dancing as he gestured to the room. I hugged onto Jake's arm in response, gazing up at him.
"Bella's directions helped. Nice place you've got," Jacob said, politely. Edward seemed shocked, but he hid it immediately.
"Thank you. Esme did it all, the rest of us chipping in," he replied. Bella smiled, as she motioned for us to follow them to a living room.
In the massive room were several couches, the room furnished with a hearty nineteen twenties feel to it. The wallpaper was an elegant Victorian type, with white crown molding. The basic layout was fantastic, and even Jake was in awe.
"I figured we could hang out here for half an hour and then drive to Port Angeles to see a movie," Bella said, winking at me. I winked back, leaning against Jake.
"It was both our idea. We figured that we could have a sort of date night," I finished. Jake and Edward exchanged glances, and I almost laughed. They shared the same baffled expression, as well as the look as 'Why are we doing this? We didn't HAVE to get forced together…'.
"Very well. Is that alright you with you, Jacob?" Edward finally agreed, and I felt Jacob's eyes burning into me. He looked down at me, seeming uncertain. It was clear that he was not thrilled about an evening with Edward, but at the same time, he looked like he wanted to put forth an effort, to at least please me.
"Alright. We can't stay for too long, Anna's dad worries," he finished. I inwardly slapped him; I had already told Dad that I would most likely stay overnight at Bella's, so if I did not come home, not to worry.
"Of course. Bella's father used to do the same, and I had to bring her home by 7:00 sharp," Edward said, seeming to buy his lie. I knew otherwise; Bella had told me that he was a mind reader, and it was easy for him to read Jake's.
I saw him smile over at me, and I jumped at what happened next. Don't worry. He will grow used to me, despite being a vampire. After all, if you and Bella will be friends, he will have to get used to the idea.
He had entered my mind! I nodded, and tried to think a response to him. Thank you…you know Jake, stubborn as can be. That is why Bella and I planned this date. And I'm not telling you the movie either!
Before he could prod my brain to figure out such mystery, I threw up the mental barriers that Jacob had taught me. It was enough to at least hide the movie title, but he was open to everything else.
"Jacob, would you prefer that you drive, or I? It makes no difference to me," Edward asked. His topaz eyes shone, and kindness was clear in his voice. I mentally congratulated him, which he accepted.
"Well, I'm low on gas. I suppose you could drive," Jacob said after a few moments. I was proud of him; he answered without anger, and had not caused a single bit of trouble.
Jacob gently stroked my arm, slowly dragging from the shoulder down to my hand. He drew light circles against my wrist, and it was so light, it sent chills down my spine. Bella had her attention on her vampire, who was now speaking in hushed tones with her. I leaned back against Jacob, his warmth soothing me.
My eyes closed for a moment, and he chuckled as he heard me moan against his chest.
"Enjoying yourself?" Bella called, and I waved my hand over at her. She laughed, my wrist flailing and flopping about.
"Of course. Jake is the ultimate heating pad, and he manages to be sweet when I'm like this," I explained, gazing up at him. My head shifted inside his crook between his shoulder and chest.
"That's Jake for you. He's always the sweetest when he's satisfied," Bella teased. Jacob rolled his eyes, a grin set across his lips.
"Why am I the subject of all of your teasing? That's not nice!" he complained, sighing. Edward snickered, glancing over at Bella.
"What's not nice is how it seems that we were placed together on this little date excursion," he said, leaving Bell and I slack-jawed.
"Amen to that, Cullen," Jacob replied, winking down at me before planting a kiss on my cheek. I glared at him, and he playfully returned it with a smirk.
"That's not funny!" I retorted, and he simply shook his head, his dark hair bouncing.
"What? You're cute when you're frustrated," he pouted, and I wrapped my arms around him.
"Aw, don't pout Jake! It's okay!" I cried, and he wrapped his arms around me. He made a pretend sniffling noise, and I had to laugh.
He adjusted me to where I was in my favorite position against him. I had my arms wrapped around his neck, and he moved my legs lazily across his lap. My bottom was against the couch, and my head shifted to rest against his shoulder, his sculpted shoulder. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I felt as though I was purring against him.
"Do you love me?" I whispered, his head resting on top of mine. He cradled me against him, as I lifted my chin slightly to see him.
His brown eyes were boring into my green, his lips settling on my chin and then each of my cheeks.
"I do. Forever," he murmured, as Bella stood up with Edward. He had not released her from his embrace, and she stood as he retrieved her coat.
"Aww, you guys are sweet together," I said, Edward grinning as he helped her into her coat. Bella blushed, her cheeks a lovely red.
" We are, aren't we, love?" he said, taking her hand as he led us to the garage. Bella could only nod, as he helped her into his car. By the way, did I mention he had a silver Volvo?
"Nice ride," I choked out. "Did you steal it?" Edward laughed, opening the passenger door for Bella.
"Thank you, I think…I didn't have to steal it, but I did a few chores," he joked. I felt Jacob's hand on the small of my back, as he helped me into my seat. He gave me one of his handsome smiles, and I buckled my seat belt.
"Good girl," he teased, as he shut the door. I watched him walk around the car, and then he immediately settled over by me. I waited until he buckled up, and then for his arms. As soon as he was finished, he slid his hand in mine, rubbing my thumb. He gave me one of his warm smiles, as he kissed my forehead.
Edward pulled out of the driveway, his hand interlaced with Bella's in the front seats. Her expression was of pure love, a kind of love that could not be broken by anything. Edward did not look at the road, courtesy of his vampire reflexes. He stared at her most of the time, only occasionally checking his mirrors for traffic. He smiled at her, as though they communicated in their own language.
I shifted my gaze to my love, which was staring down at me. Jacob wrapped his arm around me, his other hand still holding onto my hand. I closed my eyes, dozing against his warmth. We had a half an hour drive; I may as well take advantage of it…
All I could remember was Jake whispering love into my ear, before I drifted off.
Okay, now it's time for the vote:
What chick flick should Bella and Anna drag Jake and Edward to?
P.S. I Love You
27 Dresses
Over Her Dead Body
Fool's Gold
Or an older film (Example: Pride and Prejudice? It would be perfect for ExB, but I don't know about AxJ…)
Anna: Now, we need that favor and one more. Tell them, Jake.
Jacob: Not 'til you tell me your evil plan…
Anna: Fall Out Guirl just said it…
Jacob: Okay…well, send some reviews. Pretty please? You'll have a little love from me if you do!
Anna: (growls)
Jacob: I said a little! My heart belongs to you, love! (Chases Anna) WAIT!!!
