At around eleven I decided to turn in. I kissed everyone on the cheeks and they all kissed my stomach. I slowly trudges up the stairs and changed into my pyjamas. Climbing into bed I tried to get comfortable, but I couldn't. No matter what position I got in, I just could get in a comfortable position.
After about twenty minutes of moving around I let out a sigh and sat up again. I moved to the rocking chair with my pillow. I got comfortable straight away and rocked myself slowly.
I must of fallen asleep because I could feel myself being moved but I couldn't open my eyes. It was a really weird sensation, like I was floating. I was laid onto the bed and I snuggled into the duvet.
"Night beautiful." Edward whispered and left a lingering kiss on my cheek, very close to the corner of my lips.
The date.
One, two, stretch. Again. One, two, stretch. No use.
"Rose." I yelled. I have been trying to paint my toenails for the past thirty minutes and I can't reach it over the bump. I'm only twenty two weeks but I feel full term already.
"Yeah?" She asked, walking into the room. Once she saw me she let out a giggle. I'm currently sat on my bed with my legs out in front of me and trying to get to my feet, wearing my underwear.
"Need help?" She guessed. I huffed and nodded. She smiled and walked over, taking the nail polish from me and starting on my toes.
Alice and Rose played match maker. They called Jacob and he is taking me out for dinner tonight. Edward knows and isn't to happy, but never mind. I didn't ask him about that night a few days ago. No matter how amazing it was.
"Done." Rose smiled, handing my the polish back. I smiled and took it.
"Thanks Rose. You're a life saver." She beamed.
"I know." She strutted back out the room and shut the door behind her. I love my friends.
After I had painted my nails the same blue as my toes, the same colour as the dress I will be wearing tonight. Alice had already instructed me on how to have my hair and Rose will be doing my make-up. I got up.
As much as walking around in my underwear is comfortable, I need to put some clothes on. If Edward were to walk in I would probably die from embarrassment. I grabbed the dressing gown from the back of the door and slipped it on over my underwear.
I slowly walked out the room and down the stairs, into the kitchen. I grabbed a spoon from the draw and the Marmite from the cupboard. Sitting on one of the stools, I opened the jar and began eating it.
I have been having weird cravings these past few days. Marmite is one of them. I wonder what Charlie would say if he saw me eating Marmite from a jar. He hates the stuff.
I hummed in delight and shut my eyes as soon as it hit may taste buds, making the baby kick in pleasure. She is one weird chick. Her kicks are getting stronger now and I'm just waiting for the day Rose and Edward are able to feel her kick.
"Nice Bell?" a male voice rang out in the room. My eyes show open and I turned to look at him. Jasper. He was smirking at me. Evil.
"Yeah it is. Want some?" I asked, offering him the jar. He hates it too. He shuddered in distaste and shook his head.
"You eat it. Looks like you are enjoying it anyway." He chuckled and sat on the stool opposite me.
"How are the boys? And the puppies? And Alice?" I asked.
"Good, good and busy." I nodded. Poor Alice. She is busier than Rose at the moment.
"Looking forward to your date?" He asked.
"Kinda. I don't know." I shrugged.
"Let your hair down. Have fun. We all know you need it."
"Thanks Jasper. What brings you here anyway?" I was interested. We haven't seen him much this past month.
"Boys night. Edward and Emmett are coming to mine to help with the boys, while Alice is coming here. They want details from your date later and we don't want to know." I nodded in acceptance.
"Well I better get ready. Bye Jasper." I kissed his cheek on my way past.
"Bye Bells. Have fun."
"Thanks."
I made my way upstairs and hopped in the shower. The warm water was soothing on my tense muscles. The strawberry scent from my shampoo filled the room, calming the butterflies in my stomach.
Once I was washed and had done everything I needed to I climbed out and wrapped in a towel, brushed my teeth and put my hair in a towel. So attractive. If this thing with Jacob does turn into more, how much more?
Thinking about tonight makes me feel like I am cheating on Edward. Which is really weird because we aren't even going out. He is married to my best friend. I can't be feeling like this. It's wrong.
I dressed into some clean, matching underwear. The set Alice picked out when she came round yesterday. This set is also the set I was wearing when Jacob walked in on me in Victoria Secrets. I put the dressing gown back on and got to work on drying my hair.
-x-
Six-oh-clock. He should be here by now. I couldn't help but feel a little sad that he hasn't turned up, but also relieved. If he doesn't show I can get out of this dress and let my hair down from the 'Sophisticated' bun Rose put it in.
Six-oh-ten. Baby Cullen kicked, obviously feeling my distress. Rose walked into the room and laughed at me. I have been sitting in this exact position for the past twenty minutes.
"He's not coming. I'm going to get changed and eat some ice cream and some more Marmite. Then cry myself to sleep. See you tomorrow. Enjoy your night." I was about to stand when there was a knock at the door. Rose smirked at me before going to answer it.
"Hello. Is Bella here?" Came a gruff male voice.
"Sure. I'll just go get here." Rose replied. She walked back into the room with a huge smile.
"He is so hot" She whisper-yelled at me.
"I know. I'll see you later." I grabbed my purse and stood up, walking to the door.
I turned the corner and my jaw dropped. Jacob was stood there in a pair of dark wash jeans and a white dress shirt. The crisp white of his shirt contrasted with his russet skin stand out. Rose was right. He looks hot.
When I finished eyeing up his body, I looked at his face. He was looking me over with a small smile. Is he checking me out? When his eyes met mine I blushed and looked down.
"Hey." He breathed.
"Hi." I looked up and smiled at him. We left the house and I followed him out to his car. It wasn't very flashy, but it wasn't old and rusty either. It was nice. He opened the door for me while I muttered a 'thanks'.
"The bumps getting big." He motioned to baby Cullen while talking.
"Nearly half way now. She started kicking the other day." I smiled, proud of my little niece.
"She?" He asked.
"Yeah. We found out the sex. Rose couldn't wait till the birth. They have a name and everything, but won't tell us just yet." He nodded.
We soon arrived at our destination. The beach? I must look as confused as I am because he laughed at my facial expression.
"I thought a picnic would be good, but we can do something else if you would like." He seemed sad. I shook my head quickly.
"It's beautiful Jacob. Thanks." He smiled real big.
"Call me Jake." I smiled.
"Jake." I repeated, getting used to it.
He helped me out of the car and grabbed a picnic basket from the back of the car. He was smiling and held my hand the whole was down to the beach. When we arrived I couldn't help the gasp that left me lips.
There was a red plaid blanket laid out and candles surrounding the area. It looked amazing.
"I am so sorry I was late, but I had to light the candles." I was still in shock.
"It's….It's…..Wow." I breathed. He chuckled.
"Let's sit."
I nodded and he helped me sit on the blanket. He pulled out two bottles of water and passed one to me.
"I would of brought wine, but I know you can't drink it."
"That is very thoughtful. Thank you."
We sat in silence watching the waves crash against the rocks. I felt his hand creep closer and eventually took mine. I looked down at our intertwined hands and a small smile graced my lips. His hands are so warm and mine fit in just fine. I looked up to his face to find he was watching me. Knowing he was watching me I looked down and blushed, shyly.
He chuckled at my reaction.
"Your so cute when you blush. You know that?" I shrugged, still blushing.
"Are you hungry?" He asked out of nowhere. At the thought of food my stomach growled angrily and he smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." I nodded and of course, blushed.
He dished out some food onto two plastic plates. We had macaroni and cheese. I think baby C was looking forward to it because she was kicking up a storm. He passed me the plate of delicious looking food and my mouth watered.
"I didn't know what you would like, so I made this. Is it okay?"
"Of course, Jake, thanks." I took a bite and moaned. It was amazing.
"You like it?" He asked, amused. I nodded vigorously as he smirked and took a bite himself. He moaned just like I did, making me laugh. We finished eating in silence, just enjoying the food.
When I finished, he took my plate and put it back into the picnic basket. He then took out a big chocolate cake and I nearly died and went to heaven. It looked amazing.
He cut me a big slice and I took a bite. My eyes shut on their own accord and a even bigger moan came out of my throat. I blushed but kept my eyes closed, enjoying this masterpiece.
He ate a smaller piece of cake as well, minus the moaning.
"Where did you get this cake from? It's amazing." He looked sheepish.
"I made it." He finally admitted.
"You will have to give me the recipe." He nodded.
"I'll write it down for you." I smiled at him.
Once most of the cake was gone he put everything away and laid back on the blanket. He motioned for me to lay down and I followed his lead. It took a while to get comfortable, but I did eventually.
We spent the rest of the evening getting to know each other. We talked about what his family is like, what mine is like. Everything. I really learned a lot about him. He lives on the reservation just on the outskirts of town and his father is in a wheel chair.
When nine-oh-clock came 'round, it was time for me to go home. I was really tired and I just wanted to put my feet up. He has work early tomorrow anyway so he doesn't mind dropping me home now.
He held my hand as we walked back to the car and helped me in as well. I smiled to myself as he walked 'round to his side. He put on the stereo quietly and smiled out the windshield.
Tonight has been amazing. The way he looked at me, like I was the only girl in the world. The way he didn't care that I'm pregnant with someone else's child. How he told me I am beautiful, even when I know I'm not.
I couldn't help but think about Edward. If it was him with me tonight, would I feel any different. Would he have been as caring and as loving as Jacob has been all night? Would he make amazing cake?
"Bella? You okay?" I snapped back to reality and realised we were outside Edward and Rose's house.
"Yeah sorry. Just thinking." He smiled and nodded.
"I had an amazing night tonight. Thanks Jake." I smiled.
"I did too. I'm glad you agreed to come." He got out his side of the car and came round to help me out. Once I was out he walked me to the door. When we reached our destination he pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I smiled at the contact and wrapped my arms around him as well. He sighed and breathed in. Was he smelling me? He pulled back slightly but didn't let go of me. Instead he leaned down and placed his lips on mine.
I was shocked at first, but eventually kissed him back. His warm lips moving over mine felt amazing. I have never been kissed like this before. Eventually we pulled back to breathe and he smiled at me.
He removed his arms and I already missed the contact. Stupid hormones!
"Night Bella. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Yeah night." I called as he walked back to the car. I touched my lips. Did that just happen?
I absent mind idly open the door and went in, throwing my purse on the table next to the door. I could hear the girl become immediately quiet as I walked in.
"Bell? That you?" Alice called out. "Yeah." I called back, before going upstairs.
I changed and hopped into bed, thinking about my night. I just realised my nephew has the same night as the man I just kissed. How weird. I found comfort easily tonight and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
I liked writing this chapter. Someone asked for more Jacob and you got him! With cake!
This is also the longest chapter I have ever written :O. Does that deserve a review?
I hoped you like this chapter.
Thanks for reading.
