Sorry for the long wait! I had writer's block for a while, but I managed to work up a chapter. Enjoy!

When I woke up the next day, it was quite bright outside. I sat on the couch and the memories of the last day came back to me. I could hear someone in the kitchen so I went in. It was my dad; he was having breakfast. He looked up as I entered.

"Hi kid. Want some eggs?"

"Yeah," I replied, taking a plate. He had prepared omelets. I sat down and ate.

"What are you doing today?" he asked.

"I don't know yet. Maybe hang out at Sam's place. What about you?"

"I have to go to Sue's place. Charlie called and said he'll be there."

We continued to eat in silence and after some time he spoke. "I'll better get going. See you, Jake."

"Yeah, bye dad."

I got up too and put the plates in the sink. I washed them, and then went back in the living room to watch TV, when I heard some noise in my room. I guessed Bella woke up. I went in but didn't see Bella. The bathroom door was wide open so I approached, and saw her on the floor, near the toilet seat, vomiting. I went in and sat beside her, rubbing her back.

"Are you okay?" I asked after a few moments.

She nodded without looking at me. I couldn't hold back a chuckle.

"That's what you get for drinking so much."

She sot me a guilty look and then sighed. "I'll never drink so much again…though it has its advantages," she said as she got up.

"Like what?" I asked. Wanting to jump me?

She winced slightly, "Don't talk so loudly, please. I have an awful headache.

She sat on a chair in the kitchen.

"Do you want an omelet?"

"Not now. I'm not hungry."

I came behind her and massaged her temples. I felt her relax as she leaned back against the chair.

"Hmm…that's good." Images of other circumstances of when she might say that came to me. I closed my eyes. I felt like a pervert. I leaned down to kiss her cheek but her neck was too tempting. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she turned around. My lips left her neck to kiss her mouth and I remembered last night. I had to ask her…I had to know…her lips were moving so passionately beneath mine that all thoughts become confused. I put on hand in her hair, pulling her closer and her lips parted. I could taste her hot breath on my tongue and the few remaining clear thoughts disappeared. My tongue grazed her bottom lip and they parted even more. My tongue went hesitantly in her mouth. Bella tasted so amazingly good. I traced the pattern of her smooth and wet tongue with mine… I had to know… did she mean it? I pulled back and she looked at me, surprised. I kissed her lips once more and went to sit on a chair at the other side of the table.

"I have to tell you something," I said.

She nodded.

"Do you remember last night?"

"Yeah. We danced a lot. And I was… trying to take off your shirt," she admitted sheepishly, and bit her bottom lip. "I'm kind of uncontrollable when I'm drunk, huh? I won't ever drink this much again."

I waited for her to say something and apparently she was doing the same.

"Sorry?" she said after a few moments. It sounded like a question.

"You don't remember after that?" I asked her.

"We watched a film, right?" I didn't know what to say. That's the excuse he had? Hmmm... Interesting. She continued when I didn't speak.

"I fell asleep halfway maybe 'because I don't remember half of it. I hardly remember anything at all besides that there was a girl tricking a boy into having sex with her," she blushed. "She kept saying things like 'you're sexy' and making stupid comments. What kind of idiotic film is that? You surely have an odd taste," she frowned.

I chuckled in spite of myself. She shot a look at me. "What?"

I shook my head. "It wasn't a film."

She looked puzzled, "I don't understand."

"Well, after we left the nightclub, we came here… and you started kissing me." I chuckled. I watched as my words slowly sank in and different emotions crossed her face so quickly that I had difficulty to decipher everything. Surprise, incomprehension, shock, shame… and hope?

Her mouth opened and closed several times before she spoke. "That was us?" She breathed.

"Yeah."

I saw a blush rise along her face before she dropped her face in her hands. I heard her whisper 'Oh my God' very, very quietly.

I immediately felt good for resisting last night. I was right; she wouldn't just be hurt, she would be angry at me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing was worth losing Bella. Not even one night with her. One passionate night of… I blinked. Focus, focus!

Another time I would have teased her about it, but not today. I knew she felt bad about last night and I would not make it worst.

"Bella, it's okay," I said as I went beside her and took her in my arms. I held her for some minutes before she looked up at me shyly, "Are you sure it wasn't a movie?"

I laughed at her expression, "Sure."

She groaned as she hid her face in the crook of my neck.

I woke up by Jacob who was kissing my neck. I didn't open my eyes but instead, I appreciated the moment. That didn't happen often. His lips moved to my cheek and he murmured, "Wake up, sleepyhead". I turned my face so that my lips were touching his, and pulled him on top of me. My fingers knotted in his hair and I pressed his face to mine. The kiss changed from gentle to urgent and passionate. Suddenly he pulled back and I protested.

"Happy birthday, love."

"What… oh." "Was it September 13 already? It had been weeks since I'd bothered with dates. I sighed. How could I have forgotten my own birthday?

I smiled. "Thank you." I began to kiss him again, but then I remembered something. "Charlie let you in my room?" I asked suspiciously.

"I have ten minutes," he laughed, "let's make the best of it." He nibbled on my ear. I moaned.

"You like that, don't you?" he asked playfully.

I laughed. "You have no idea."

He pulled back and looked at me. His eyes were hungry and I knew he wanted me. I knew he hoped that we were alone and I hoped the same. This effect I seemed to have on him was new to me, and I didn't know how I should react. I tried to minimize it, but Jacob had a great effect on me too, no matter what he did. I remember the day we went to the night club and I tried to seduce him. I still didn't have much memories of that night, just that Jacob prevented me from doing what could have been the greatest mistake of my life. I didn't consider making love with Jacob a mistake; just that making love with him, being drunk, wasn't the best idea.

I thought about something. Had I considered making love with Jacob? Not really, but… I mean, it was something I haven't quite thought about. He wanted me; I was sure of it. I could feel it in his every touch. And I wanted him; with every fibre of my being. But sex was a big step, and I wasn't sure if I was ready enough to take that step. Besides, I didn't want us to become one of those couples who couldn't as much as touch each other without it having to come to sex. I've heard something about couples who didn't kiss because it was too intimate. I realized maybe I was stupid to think about all those things. And I didn't want to take that decision today. I'd just see how it goes.

Jacob was still watching me. I lightly traced my hand over his arms.

"You're wearing a shirt today?" I asked him

He frowned. "Charlie wouldn't let me come in here if I wasn't wearing one," then he laughed. "As if that would stop me." He leaned down, pulled my shirt a little so that my stomach was exposed, and I shivered. He kissed my stomach and the sensations that washed over me almost overwhelmed me. I couldn't think as my waist moved on its own, pressing closer to him. He placed his right hand on my waist and his left on my thigh. His lips were still tracing kisses on my stomach, and he hitched my left leg around his hip. I shivered, and wrapped my other leg around his hip. His lips found mine and I wrapped my arms around his neck, clasping him to me. I could feel his weight on me and it made me unbearably hot.

"Time's up, Jake!" Charlie called from downstairs. Jacob didn't pull back, kissing me more passionately than ever. His lips left mine and moved to my neck. There was no gentleness in his acts; there was urgency. He wanted me now. His hands moved to my waist and pulled my shirt up. He pulled away so that I could take it off. I obeyed and laughed as he kissed my neck again. His hands moved to my back and unclasped my bra. There was a sharp intake of breath, and I would have been unable to say if it was him or me.

"I'm coming!" Charlie announced. I gasped and froze.

"He isn't," Jacob assured me.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Hmm."

He pulled back and looked at me. He was about to take off my bra when he turned his head towards the door.

"Damn," he muttered.

"What?" I asked, out of breath.

"He's coming."

I put my hands on his chest to push him, but he was already on his feet. He took my hand pulled me up. I took my shirt which was on the floor and put it back on, in record time. Charlie entered and looked at me.

"Please, dad, can I have some privacy, please?"

"With Jacob?" he asked, incredulously.

"Of course, Charlie," Jacob laughed.

"Hey, I didn't…" I began but Charlie startled me by laughing. I stared at him. "What?" I asked.

"I guess that's alright." He said.

"Are you serious?" Jacob asked him. My jaw dropped.

Charlie became serious suddenly, "Are you joking? As if I'd let my eighteen-year old girl alone in her bedroom with her boyfriend!" He looked at me, and I took at step backwards.

"I'm nineteen, dad," I told him.

His expression changed suddenly, and he came to hug me. I hugged him back. "I came here to tell you that. Happy Birthday, Bells." He pulled back and became serious again. "But that doesn't change anything," he looked at Jacob. "Come downstairs, Jake."

"Just a minute, Charlie," Jacob said.

"No, right now."

"Forty-five seconds."

"Thirty seconds." Charlie said.

"Forty five," Jacob insisted.

"Right now," Charlie looked at him severely.

"Okay, thirty." Jake sighed.

Charlie turned away and left. "I'm counting."

Jacob was at my side at once. He leaned his forehead against mine, and placed his hand in mine. I lightly kissed his lips.

"I love you," I told him.

"That's the only thing I ask for," he said.

"The only thing?" I traced my hand on the muscles on his arms. "Are you sure?"

"Among other things," he smiled wickedly, and kissed my lips.

"Jake!" Charlie called from downstairs. I laughed, and pushed him outside.

"Go on," I said. He kissed me once more and left, closing the door behind him.

I was sitting on Jacob's lap while Quil was driving and I couldn't stop smiling. We were going to spend the rest of the evening at Emily's. No one paid more attention to me than usual; no one had a present in his hands. In clear, it seems that everyone was ignoring my birthday. It felt like a normal day and, strangely enough, I liked it that way. If I didn't know better, I might think they got a word from my ex-vampire family restraining them from paying any particular attention to me on this non-special day.

I turned my head so that I could see Jacob's face and his eyes were closed. His arms were around my waist and my hands were on his.

"Are you sleeping?" I whispered.

"Hmm…trying anyway," he said without opening his eyes. I couldn't believe he paid me no more attention that that. It's going to change, I thought and laughed internally. I was feeling very devilish today. I shifted my position so that I was facing him and leaned down, pressing my lips to his neck. I heard him moan and I smiled. I traced my fingertips on his chest as my lips played with his ear. His right hand rubbed my back ever so slowly and he placed his left hand on my face, trying to pull my lips to his. I pulled back a bit and looked at him innocently.

"Didn't you want to sleep?"

"I changed my mind." He closed the distance and kissed me fiercely. Lust overwhelmed me and desire overpowered my common sense. My fingers knotted in his hair as he pulled me closer to him.

"Aww! Not that in my car, please. Wait till you're alone," I heard Quil complain, and I blushed; I had forgotten him. I realized I had pulled back when Jake began kissing my jaw.

"Forget him," he murmured.

"We're here," Quil said.

"Go ahead, we'll join you," Jacob told him, kissing my neck, as shivers ran down my spine. My arms were around his waist and all I wanted was for us to be alone at least once, but Quil interrupted us once again.

"Um…Jake? I think you better come now."

Jacob remained still for a moment, and then pulled back.

"Oh… yeah."

I looked at him curiously but he pulled me off his lap. We got out of the car and he took my hand. He still wouldn't look at me. He opened the door and I almost collapsed to the ground.

"Now," I heard someone whisper.

"SURPRISE!!" They shouted in unison.

What do you think of it? Once again, sorry for the long wait. To apologize, I'm already working on chapter 13. I'm at about half, so it will be up very soon. But if you review, I'll type even faster. Thank you, and don't forget to review! Love you all!
