Things have been a little weird with Jacob and I. The next morning I was feeling groggy, probably because of whatever Tatiana had injected me with. Jacob was out looking for Edward and her and I just layed in the bed hoping that it was nothing too bad. I was in bed for at least half a day when Jacob returned. He came back looking angry and worried.

"You feeling any better?" He walked to the side of the bed.

"I feel a little weird but I think I'll be fine."

"The wedding is in a few days so I hope so."

The mention of the wedding sent a wave of nervousness through me. It was approaching fast and soon after we would return to my land.

"I'll be ready don't worry"

"Good"

I saw relief wash over his face. He was a little calmer.

"Why don't you try to get up and walk, you need some fresh air."

"Yea, I do"

I tried to get up as Jacob put his hand on my arm. The feel of him was like medication in itself, I felt instantly better. He kept one hand on my arm and one on my lower back as he led me outside. As the cool breeze hit me, I closed my eyes and let it sway my hair. It was a good idea.

As we walked I felt a little nervous all of a sudden, I had remembered that I wanted to tell Jacob how I felt. I needed him to know that I loved him, I just didn't know how to say it. I tried to start to say something but Jacob began before I could get anything out.

"So Bella, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the things that I said...I didn't mean for the words to come out like that...if I hurt you I'm sorry."

He turned to me looking me in the eyes. They were piercing through me, it was if he could see my soul, I don't think I had ever been this nervous before, one- because I was about to tell him, two- because he was irresistibly gorgeous, and three- I was afraid of rejection but I couldn't hold this in any longer

"Jacob, I....have to tell you.....I"

I had all of his attention, his head was bent down a little while his eyes never left mine...he just stood there waiting..I WAS SO DAMN NERVOUS....

"Jacob, I think....no...I know, I'm....(deep breath even though I didn't need it, I felt like it would help)

"Your what Bella?"

"I'm...Inlovewithyou"...I said just above a whisper as I mumbled the words.

"Your what?" he said as I saw his bare chest move as he laughed a little, this distracted me a little bit.

"I ...am....In love with you" I said closing my eyes.

There was silence for a couple of seconds, when I opened my eye to look at him he was looking confused, but I thought I saw a hint of happiness in his face I was hoping I wasn't imagining.

He turned around and walked a little bit away from me and I felt the rejection hit me...he didn't feel the same way.

"Jacob, I don't expect anything but I felt like I would explode if I didn't tell you."

He turned back to face me and ran his hand over his mouth licking his lips and grinning.

"Bella...then why do you keep giving me mixed signals?"

He caught me off guard with that one. He walked up closer to me and I got a whiff of his scent, it was sending me to cloud nine, I don't know how I was going to be able to be married to him and not attack him. There was so much lust building and building.

I turned around to clear my mind.

"Bella..why do you always pull away from me, every time I get close to you you always feel the need to back up!"

I could hear the tone in his voice getting frustrated. He grabbed my shoulders turning me around to face him.

"LOOK AT ME!"

I pulled my head up to look into his eyes and felt my body begin to melt...god why did he have this effect on me...I was getting weaker and weaker the more I was around him. He let go as his eyes studied mine.

"Bella...I'm in love with you."

He said it like it was so easy. He kept his eyes on me looking for a reaction. I didn't know what to do. I don't think I have ever heard anything so wonderful. He smiled a little and took a deep breath as if the weight was lifted off of his shoulders.

"So...what now?" I surely didn't know

"Well for starters I'm going to kiss you, and you wont pull away rite?"

I didn't say anything. Just him stating that he was about to kiss me sent butterflies back in my stomach. I took another breath...

He stepped closer to me as my breath began to quicken. He lowered his lips to meet mine and as soon as they met, I swear I felt my heart begin to beat. It was the most passionate and gentle kiss in the history of the world! His moist lips caresses my own as his arms wrapped around my waist.

I felt the reserve in me try to pull away and I fought it as much as I could. I was never taught to show my emotions and affection, Jacob, the complete opposite was brought up to wear his emotion on his sleeve.

Two complete opposites but two parts of a whole. He felt me pull back a little and this only made him squeeze tighter. My body melted into his as I felt all of the wall and defenses I had kept up broken down by this kiss from him, in this moment.

His tongue lightly traced my bottom lip as he kissed me a little deeper but careful not to got to far. He broke the kiss just as I was starting to get comfortable. He looked at me and started to chuckle to himself.

As I went in to kiss her, she looked like she was about to faint with nervousness. I approached her slowly and as I kissed her, she seemed to go limp. I wrapped my arms around her just n case she tried to pull away, it was her instinct after all. After a couple second I felt her begin to pull back a little, but I didn't budge. I was stronger so there was no way she was going anywhere If I didn't want her to. After realizing this, she let go and I felt her give in to me finally.

Bella was in love with me and she finally said it....she knew how I felt and she felt the same.

I pulled away and looked at her face and the look on it was funny. Her eyes were stuck closed as she looked like she was high, I couldn't help but to laugh. That look just boosted my ego a couple points.

She looked embarrassed.

"What?"

"I guess I'm a better kisser than I realized."

I think I made her mad because she stormed off back toward my house. I followed behind her not being able to hold in the laughter.

What a jerk, why would he laugh, it wasn't that funny. I walked toward his room when Rebbecca saw me and told me she needed to fit me for my wedding dress. I got nervous once again, I was apprehensive at wearing a "wedding dress" it was just not me.

I followed her to the room as I saw Jacob's eyes follow me as he talked to some of the members of the pack about where I had been and about Edward and Tatiana.

I walked in the room as she shut the door behind me. She went in the back closet and came out with a beautiful silk form fitting white dress with whit lace around the v-neck and long sleeves that had white lace on the ends. She held it up smiling.

"I made it myself...do you like it?"

"yes, I love it!"

it was beautiful, I couldn't wait to try it on. I quickly undressed as she helped me put it on. I looked at myself in the tall mirror in the corner and I looked amazing. I couldn't wait for Jacob to see me in this.

After I left out of the room with Rebbecca, I went to Jacobs room. He wasn't there so I decided I would get in the shower. I took off my clothes and opened the bathroom door and there stood a naked, wet, Jacob, his eyes wide as he looked at a very naked me....
