Previously in "I Was Born To Tell You I Love You":

I let out a groan before I could help myself. " Oh God! Do we really need to have this conversation again?", I asked in aggravation, rhetorically.

" Have you only once really heard what I am saying here?", it was also rhetorical.

I sighed, replying in a sharp tone. " Fine, I'll get over Edward tomorrow."

And then, I stormmed out back to my room, collapsing onto my bed, where time doesn't exist and the world could stop.

I took a deep breath, embracing my pillow, still crying a little. Was just then that I realized: I still could smell him in my room. I didn't really know why. Maybe it's because somewhere in my twisted mind it will be always raining a slow and endless drizzle that will remind me of his smell: breathtaking and coffee and mint and... It just feels safe, so safe. And I'm not ready to give that up.

At least, not just yet...

and a little while before that...

She giggled. "Sorry, but I think murphy didn't remembered you exactly. You just was a little too close to a life-threatening situation magnet."

I laughed. "Okay. Whatever you say. But... What I want to ask you is..."I took a deep breath. I can do this. I have to... There is nothing on the way now. "Would you like to go on a date with me, sometime?" I blurted out.

I looked at her face, trying to read her reaction... Please, say 'yes'! Please, say 'yes'! Please, say..."

Chapter 12 - Surprise, Surprise!

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up." ---- Neil Gaiman

Jacob POV

I was walking out from the airport with my luggage, the could air in Seattle hitting my face full force. Yeah... Home, sweet home. Just that thought made me smile. And, as much of a fool I might be looking like right now, there was a very simple reason to it: I would finally be able to see Bella again. I immediately felt my stomach twisting with exciment.

It has been two weeks since the day at the club/hospital, when I asked her out. She never gave me an answer. Not really. But I had this feeling that things will finally work out for us. I didn't knew why, but seriously dude, what could possible go wrong now?

Famous last words...

Oh, go piss another person off.

Can't, you idiot! I'm your conscience!

Yeah, yeah! Bit me!

But, for real, she was there, for the first time in many many years that I know her, she was single and if memorie doesn't let me down, that never happened before. By the time that Bella could possible notice me and my feelings for her, all the guys from Forks were already backing off because of Cullen. And she seemed so happy with him... Humm... I wonder what happened. Yeah, well, whatever it was, he didn't really deserved her. It was his lost, really. Thank God he was stupid.

I got into a cab and every mile shorter to my place made me smile even wider. I would talk to her today. She never gave me a answer and I need to know.

Okay, Jacob. Your sounding like a needy high school girl, right now. Get a hold of yourself!

Oh, would you shut up already, inner me?

I was already taping my foot at every single second, when the driver, probably annoyed as hell, finally pulled into my drive away. I quickly paid him and get my things into my place. There was some mensages in the machine that I let it playing while I would got my things settled. Dad was complaining again about Paul and Becca didn't having their own place yet, than my boss was asking about the trip. I would catch up with him another time. Then there was that weird lady from the hospital reminding me my check up with doctor Eleazar in two days. And then strangest thing happened. There this a message from this girl asking where the hell was I and why didn't I had called Bella yet. That was odd... I was scanning my brain to make sense of what I was listen, trying to figure out who it was when her voice went two octaves above her already high tone. Than I recognized. It was Tiny's voice. She was very alarmed, telling me to call her cel ASAP, that she needed to talk to me. Had something happened to Bella while I was gone? Of course something might had happened to Bella in two weeks. Because, well... Let's face it, it's Bella Swan that we are talking about!

I got nervous all the sundelly and grab my phone to call the number that she left me. Than it hited me again: How in hell had Tiny got my number? She picked up in the second ring, not letting me anytime to breath or say 'hello', for that matter.

"Where have you been, Jacob Black?", she yelled at me over the phone, in a tone that would have possibly sound a lot more amusent if I wasn't so worried. I almost went death with that. Mental note, for future references: Keep the phone very far away from my ears when I would talk to Tiny. "Have you no decense at all? Why didn't you called Bella? I thought you liked her! What is you deal, then? Hã?".

She kept talking about nonsense things until I cut her off.

"Hey, Cullen chick. Calm down! I stil need my ears, please. Could you try speak slowly and in english, please? It's Bella okay? Something happened?"

" Of course something happened, you idiot! My shitty brother, that was what happened. Look, long story short, Edward was a jerk to her a long time ago and I need that Bella move on. She deserve to be happy and I have this feeling that you might be someone really important for her.", and there she was talking to much with so little information again.

"Hey, Tiny. Listen. Focus!"

"What? Wait. Tiny?", she asked.

Ops... I did just said that out loud, didn't I?

"Sorry, It's just that I didn't remember your name from that day. I just know that you are Cullen's sister and you are really Tiny.", I started to say, as an apologie when she giggled like a crazy person.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Alice, by the way. But Tiny it's okay, for now.", she said, sounding amused with the nickname. Than she giggled again.

"What?", I asked, puzzled with the reaction.

"Oh, nothing, really. I was just thiking how you call Rosalie without her knowing.", she said in wonder, sounding awfully amused at this point.

"You mean , the bitchy one, Blondie?", I asked.

Alice laughed so hard that I think that she droped the phone, in some point. I heard a loud thund, for sure.

"Alice? Alice?", I called her.

"Hi, okay... Sorry. So, what you waiting for to call Bella?", she asked, demaning again.

"Well... I wasn't thinking about call her... I was more thinking about go to your place to see her. I actually asked her out that day at the hospital, but she never gave me an answer. ", I told sincerely.

"Oh yeah? Hey, here's an idea, then...", she started to say and as more that I heard, more my smile grew. This Tiny was really... I don't even no what. But I liked it!

Bella POV

After picking up my thing's and Alice's at the dry cleaning, I bought some coffee and a few new books that I've been looking for and was heading back to home. As I parked my black Beetle Convertible (AN.: Picture is at my profile) when I noticed some really tall guy at our door way. Some delivery? As I got off the car, the guy turned in my direction, smiling like a fool. And with that, I recognized who it was: Jake. I couldn't help but smile back to him, when he approached me, but I was able to hide my surprise when I saw him there.

He grabbed me in the tightest hug ever and made lost my breath and laughed at my reaction.

"I don't need to look so surprised, you know?", he said still smilling and helping me with my stuff until my doorway again.

"What? It has been two weeks. You didn't called, you didn't showed up... I thought you had died or something...", I said playfully, bumping my shoulder at his. Or at least at some place at his arm... Was he taller than the last time that I saw him?

"Oh, I did die.", he said, looking at me every now and then from the corner of his eyes. "From rejection! How could you left me upon that hospital bed all alone like that?It still hurts, ya know?" He said, faking a hurt expression for me to feel guilty. Truth be told, I was, a little bit.

Last time we saw each other, he had asked me out and I didn't knew what to say. So I kinda took the first chance I got to run away I wasn't about to confess this to anyone. Let alone to him!

"Oww... You're a big boy. You'll get over it!", I said as I turn to him when we reached the door. Okay... It was my turn to do something, wasn't it? "Would you like to come in and grab a cup of coffee? Don't worry. I bought it, didn't make it. But, if I can say so myself, I make a pretty damm good coffee.", I offered. Alice would be so proud of me right now.

"Sure, sure. Alright.", he said as his smile grew even bigger. It made me happy, see him happy like that. I didn't knew why, but it did. It felt right to see tha shinny blinding smile.

When I opened the door, there was no other reaction that I could have made. I gasped. It was the most beutiful thing in the world. My living was full of rose petals, candle light, and a soft delightful music was playing on the back ground. I didn't quite knew yet what it was, but it made me so calm, so happy. Behind me, pushing me inside, Jacob took a deep breath and spoke to me once again.

"And... About I'm being a big boy and that I would get over it. I have to say that I wouldn't. So, seeing that you didn't give me an answer about go out in a date with me, if you don't go out in a date with me... I brought the date to you. Do you mind?", he asked, taking place in front of me, still smiling, but looking really nervous now.

I feel kinda bad for nat being able to say anything. I was so touched for this gesture, but... "How... The candles, the roses... How did you get in here to do all this?", I breathed the question out, struggling to talk.

"Alice helped me. She come home and let me in, while you were gone. She is a little bit over the top, isn't she?", he asked, laughing quietly probably at something that Alice had done before.

"I'm sorry for her! Really! She is a full time job. No wonder caffeine it's my second best friend. I need it to handle my best friend.", I said giving he a worried look.

He laughed out loud at my expression. "Not to worry, Bells. Tiny gave me a lot a help today. She really cares about you, doesn't she?", he said, leading me to my dinner table, that was settled for a meal for two.

"Tiny?", I asked him, puzzled.

"Oh, sorry. I mean Alice."

I laughed a little about Jake's nickname for Ali before I said anything again. "She does... She is my rock, you know? I don't know how my life would be without her and I don't wanna know, really.", I said, sincerly. "Wow, Jacob, look at this table! It's perfect!"

"Well, Miss Swan." he pulled me a chair "Have a sit please. Our dinner will be ready in..." he give it some thought, looking at his fancy watch." ... about five minutes. How does that sound?", he asked, very serious.

I giggled. "Wait, are you cooking?", I asked, wide eyes.

"As much as I rather impress you by saying that I am, I don't want you to have food poisoning. So... No. I order it. Itallian it's good for you?", he asked, making sure that I was okay with everything that was going on here. I must have been smiling like a nutt job because he took it as a 'yes'.

The dinner went lovely. We were enjoying ourselves, talking about our childhood, our dreams, what were we doing with out lives right now... Jacob was restauring cars for living now, and he has been all these last two weeks out in a job. He also congratulated me about my book. It was so much fun. I belive that I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time.

We were dacing at the sound of Wonderwall, Bryan Adams version. I was feeling so content ans so peacefull. Jake has been so sweet all night and I was truly happy at that moment. My head has relying at his chest, and we just danced, in silence. And it felt so right. Out of nowhere, the phone started to ring. That startled us back out of the bubble of peace that we were in. Jacob meant to back out a little to give me room to pick it up, but I didn't wanted to.

"No... Let it ring. The machine will get it.", I said going back to my place at his chest where I was once before. He just smiled at me and held me even closer. The phone continued to ring some more when the machine finally pick it up.

The voice that took over my ears was really unexpected. "Hey, girls! How are my two beuatiful daugthers? I miss you!",Esme started to say in a cheerfull tone. "So, I'm calling you guys to let you know something. Edward called. He is coming back to Seattle tomorrow night.", I freezed and at the same time I felt Jacob tensed up. What? What did she just said? "So... Call me so we can arranje some details? Love you girls! Carlisle said hello too! By-ye!"

I lift my head up only to find a very tense Jacob looking right into my eyes. Oh God! Oh God! This can't be happening. This can NOT be happening!

Things have been a lot crazy around here, so forgive me for the late update. It will be like this until next month, at least. But I did my best to get this chapter done to try to cheer my little sister up (yes, E, you're my little sis. I don't care if you're older! :P)

Liked the surprise, sis? =D I hope so. But E, honey, I hope that this has at least took your mind off things for a while. I know I can't be around that much, nowdays, and that I'm a awful sister for it, but I'm always here for you, 'kay?
