OK moving on... no i don't own twilight, just this little twist to it.
I was awakened by soft warm lips on my neck. I hummed my approval, reaching behind to lock my fingers to twine in his growing hair. "Wake up sleepy head," he whispered into my ear, his breath waking me more than any coffee could. I rolled over to face him. Remembering my morning breath I smacked my hand to face and ran to the bathroom, his chuckles followed me out the door.
Jacob joined me, watching as I took care of my mouth's foulness. He stood leaning against the wall with his arms and ankles crossed, as I ogled him from the mirror. I quickly finished and turned to him. "Not that I mind, but what are you still doing here" I asked as my arms slid around his neck. He opened his arms, burying his face into my tangled hair.
"I set your alarm to get up before Charlie did" he said straightening up. "I had to hide in your closet when he came to check on you though," he said sheepishly, "he left about an hour ago."
"Ah, well just so you know, if Charlie catches you I'm playing dumb," I said laughing.
"Damn Bells, you just gonna throw me under the bus," he said with mock hurt. "Your dad will think I'm the biggest pervert," he said laughing along with me.
"You are the biggest pervert," I said smacking his arm before heading back to my bedroom. Jacob's hands shot out to grab my waist and pull my back to his chest.
"Only for you Bells," he said breathing into my ear. "Get dressed and I'll fix you breakfast," he said kissing the top of my head and walking away.
"Stupid sexy werewolf," I said with a huff walking to my closet to find something to wear.
I followed the smell of eggs and toast to see Jacob, and I almost fainted. Standing at my stove wearing only his sweats was the most erotic sight I have ever seen. I could see each muscle move in a sensual dance under his skin. My feet moved on their own toward the magnificent being sent here to love me. I ran my hands over his shoulder blades, across his broad shoulders. I brushed my lips against his spine and he growled before turning and snatching me up and planting his lips against mine.
"Hungry?" he asked, ending the kiss before I wanted him too. He guided me to my seat, placing a plate down in front of me. He joined me soon after shoveling food into his face. We ate and washed the dishes and headed out. I was expecting to see his rabbit sitting by the curb but there in all its glory was his bike.
"You fixed it," I said excitedly running up to it.
"Quil brought it by for us after Charlie left," he said rubbing the back of his head, "I thought maybe you would want to ride it to school."
"Let's go," I said earning a smile from him before he climbed on, followed by me.
The bike was loud so of course it would gain a lot of attention as we pulled in. I saw Alice with her hands on her hips tapping her foot in annoyance. Edward was behind her with a solemn look on his perfect face. I jumped off; Jacob turned the bike off and came to stand next to me on the sidewalk.
"You know they make these things called helmets," Alice said seething, "what if something happens."
"Been there, done that," Jacob said mockingly. We both laughed as Edwards eyebrows rose in disbelief. Jacob reached out and placed an arm around me, before getting serious. "You remember the terms of our agreement," Jacob said staring Edward down.
"Yes, dog," Edward said rolling his eyes.
"I'll be right here when you get out," he said, kissing me sweetly and jumped on his bike. He revved it up and pulled the front wheel up, showing off a little for his girl. I just shook my head. When I turned I saw Edward with his back to me, his fists tight at his sides. Alice wrapped an arm around me and ushered me into school behind Edward.
"Don't worry about a thing Bella," Alice said cheerfully, "we weren't able to switch classes to make sure someone was in each of your classes," she said thoughtfully. "I guess some people just aren't as charming as they thought," Alice said giggling as Edward growled. I had to laugh. "We'll be closeby," she said sweetly.
"What? Mr. Perfect didn't get his way?" I said still laughing. Edwards back stiffened, and whirled around to me.
"Who said I was perfect?" Edward said through clenched teeth. "I'm far from it" he said looking away before walking away, leaving me stunned.
Alice walked me to my first class filling me in on different things. The rest of the day passed quickly. I would catch one of the other Cullen's in the hallway in-between classes. Alice met me at my locker before lunch.
"Come sit with us today," she said grabbing my wrist and leading me to the cafeteria, not giving me a chance to answer. We got our trays and sat down. The other Cullen's were already waiting, sitting there like nothing new was going on.
The younger blonde male who I now knew as Jasper just nodded at me as Alice and I approached. She took her seat beside him and gave him a peck on the cheek. That left me next to Edward. Instead of my eyes falling on Edward I took in the other Cullen's. The blonde girl was gorgous, no doubt. She was sitting looking though a car magazine. The big dark headed male grinned from ear to ear when our eyes met. I remember Alice telling me his name.
"What's up wolf girl," he said smiling like an idiot. I blushed and ducked my head down. "Hey, that wasn't hard," he said laughing, "see Edward I got her to blush for y-." I heard a crack and Emmett let out a low hiss. I look to Edward and saw him shooting daggers at Emmett with his eyes, before shoving his chair out and sulking out. I hung my head.
I was feeling bad about what I had said earlier. I had to figure out a way to apologize. He and his family were helping me. My thoughts were interrupted by the lunch bell. I went to my locker and picked up my books. I squared my shoulders as I entered the room. I noticed that Edward's desk was empty. I let out the breath I was unaware I was holding. I started tossing my books and things onto my desk knocking my pencil off, as I reached out to get it a hand shot out and picked it up. I looked up to see whose hand it was and looked into Edward's blank face. He placed the pencil back on my desk and took his seat.
"Thanks," I said bashfully. He nodded his response. The teacher called the class to order so I had to stick to paper.
I'm really sorry about this morning. It was wrong of me to make fun of you. Your family has been kind enough to help me, and I but threw it in your face. Please forgive me. Friends?
I waited till the Mrs. Miskimen's back was turned and placed it on his desk. He looked at it for a moment before opening it. He did a quick scan, took his pen, and jotted down his reply. At a blinding speed he placed it back on my desk. I unfolded the paper anxious to see his response.
No, I should be the one with the apologies. It was beyond horrid with how I spoke to you. You're a lady and should be treated as one. I have behaved appallingly. I deserved your comments. As for my family, trust me when I say that they don't mind. There is no need for forgiveness but if you want to make it up to me, come hang out with Alice and I this weekend. How about Saturday? We can do friend things, like study.
I thought about his request. I could go and hang out with him, but what about Jacob. I chewed on my lip, looked over to see Edward with a polite smile and nodded my agreement. Jacob wouldn't dictate who I chose to hang around. Would he?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"No way Bella," Jacob said shaking his head. We were standing in my kitchen, I was cooking, and Jacob was being an ass.
"What?" I said in disbelief. "So now you're telling me that I can't hang around my friends?"
"No I'm telling you that I don't think it's safe for you to hang around a house full of vampires" he said crossing his arms and planting his feet.
"Oh and hanging around with a pack of hormonal teenaged werewolves who explode at the drop of a hat is the epitome of safety?" I said snorting, turning to check the bread. Jacob came up to stand at my back; I could tell he was livid. I could feel the air tremble around him. I wasn't frightened, Jacob had never frightened me. I turned to stare him down. This was a battle of wills and I was not backing down.
He reached his mammoth hands gently to encase my cheeks, "have I ever gave you reason to fear me?" he asked. I could tell he was hurt by my statement.
"Never," I said confidently, placing my hands on his chest. I kissed him on his heart before spinning around to get the bread out. I started setting the table and glanced over to see Jacob deep in thought. I busied myself getting dinner on the table, as he came and sat down.
"Is it that important to you to go?" he asked in a low voice.
"I told him that I would," I said shrugging my shoulders, and setting his plate in front of him, "and I don't want to go back on my word. I don't have any friends outside of the reservation," I said sitting down to my own plate.
"What about that girl Angela?" he asked taking a bite of the lasagna. "You said she was nice."
"Yes, she is," I sighed losing my appetite, "but I can't really open up to her seeing how my life involves mystical creatures." If Jacob really pushed I wasn't going to go against him, I didn't want to upset him. If he hurt, so did I.
"Fine," he breathed out, "if you trust them, then I do," he said resigned, "but to an extent." I smiled my thanks and found that my appetite had returned.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The rest of the week passed by with Jacob dropping me off at school, leaving me in the care of the Cullen's. I don't think he trusted Edward but was warming up to Alice quickly. I had found my opposite in the small hyper pixie. She was great to talk to. During one of our many conversations she let it slip that she and Jasper both had extra abilities. She could see the future and Jasper could control, and sense emotions.
"I bet you saw me coming," I said with a smirk.
"I saw that you and I were going to be good friends," she said and then looked down. "I only saw glimpses of you, but I did see you with Edward" my jaw dropped in shock.
"What do you mean you 'saw me with Edward'," I said incredulously.
"I saw you and Edward sitting in a meadow," she said waving her hand like it was nothing. "It's not a big deal, Bella; I don't even know what it means." She started talking about our plans for Saturday. I zoned out trying to make sense of what I had just learned. Did that mean Jacob and I weren't going to be together. I knew he was too good for me but I knew that he loved me. He showed me in everything he did; every caress, every kiss, and everything he said. I didn't doubt his love, but how could I get over the thought of my future with Edward Cullen?
