"Uh, no dad! I'm…I'm changing! I'll be down in a few minutes." I shuffled around the door trying to keep it closed. Crap, crap, crap! How did this happen?!
"Okay Bella." His voice didn't sound too convinced but I knew he wouldn't even remember about this when he sees the sport section of the newspaper. I waited until he reached the bottom step to jump back onto Jake.
"Jake? Please, please wake up?" I whined quietly. He would just move around a little but he didn't wake up. He was lying down on my bed with his feet hanging out and with me sitting on the side of him. The only thing I thought I could do to wake him up was kiss him. So I tried my best not to laugh as I my lips made its way toward his.
But without me knowing his eyes shot open and with a smile he jumped on me. Before I knew it we were making out and I had to try my best not to laugh while we do this.
"Sheesh Jake!" I slapped his arm. He looked confused as he tried to kiss me again. I held my hand up. "If you were awake, why didn't you tell me? I almost got caught because of you."
"I didn't know that! And I just woke up when you tried to right now. Just wanted to see what you would do just to wake me up and…" he looked at me with a smirk. "I guess I know now!" he smiled so blissfully I didn't dare try to say a snarky remark.
Then I remembered that it was morning and Charlie hasn't left yet.
"Jake, do you think you can skedaddle for now? Charlie still downstairs." I didn't want to tell him that but his face dropped.
"Wait, did you really say skedaddle? Getting a little old there momma Swan?" he joked. I slapped him again and laughed.
"Sheesh Jake. But really, you can come back right when he leaves." I hoped my suggestion would get him out and guess what? Plan worked! I smiled when he began his way out the window. I smiled when he kissed me good bye. I smiled when he flawlessly jumped out the window and into the forest.
He's so amazing. I can't believe he's mine!
I changed into a pair of jeans, a shirt along with a jacket. I went to the bathroom first to finish up some necessities before Jake came back. Charlie was at the kitchen making himself some eggs and bacon.
"Charlie?" he smiled at me, embarrassed he got caught.
"I was kind of hungry and…it's not that I don't like your meals but I miss this." I just laughed and let him go on with his cooking business. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and ate that. We both ate in a comfortable silence.
"Well I guess I'm off to work. You better get ready for school now." He kissed the top of my head and left.
I check the time. 7:05
"It's not that late." I went to get my bag until I heard a knock on the door. I got the door and Jake flew in as he hugged me.
"Well hello Jake!" he smiled and he kissed me on the cheek. We held hands as we sat down on the couch.
"So what're you going to do today? School? Patrol?" I was tracing his hand with my good hand.
"How about ditching?" he smirked and I turned away to blush.
I got up and reached over for my bag. "No Jake. Ditching is bad remember?" I stuck my tongue out. He turned me around to face him.
"Ditching isn't bad if you're with the one you love right?" I blinked and stared blankly. How does he do this?! I'm the older one; I should know how to be more lovey dovey.
"Since when did you get so…romantic?" I dropped my bag and wrapped my hands around his neck.
"Since always. Obviously Bells." He smiled back and held me on the small of my back. Our faces got closer as our lips touch. It felt so good to be doing this to him. I wish we could have had a longer kiss but if I didn't start to leave than I might be late for school.
"I have to go." I whispered. He looked so heartbroken.
"Well, when can I see you again?"
"Um, after school?" I breathed in and held it in for a while as we walked out. He jumped happily and kissed me on the top of my head.
"So later I guess!"
I laughed as he headed for the woods. "Yeah! Later." I sighed and went inside my truck. Today it wasn't raining but it wasn't sun shiny either. The weather felt so good to me now.
I arrived at school, right at time by the way. I saw Mike and Angela on the way to my first class.
"Hey guys!" I walked over to them. They noticed my hand was wrapped and was bruised.
"What happened to your hand?" Mike demanded. I gulped. I forgot to think of a story.
"Nothing unusual. Remember I'm clumsy?" It looked as if Mike wanted to ask more but Angela slapped him. Thank goodness Angela was here to help me.
The classes dragged on but nutrition and lunch was better. At least then we could talk without being embarrassed about it.
"Hey, I have an idea." Mike started off. I tried to pay attention as I started eating my lunch. I had a slice of pizza and lemonade.
"Why don't we go out tomorrow?" Angela and I both nodded.
"We'll go but is there a reason for it?"
He shook his head. He stopped gelling his hair up and this time he left it down. The only thing he did to his hair was straighten it to go to the side. He laid his head on his hand and sighed dramatically which of course would only come out of his mouth.
"Do we need a reason to go out and chill? We haven't hung out in a while."
"Yeah. We miss you so much Bella!" Angela smiled and patted my hand.
"Fine! We can all go out tomorrow. Not like I have anything to do anyways so why not." I stuck my tongue out at them. I went back to eating but I still noticed the weird looks they were giving each other. What's that all about?
After P.E. I practically ran out the door. I went to my truck and did my best to race to La Push. I jumped out of my truck. That's when I noticed Jake was near our driftwood. But he wasn't alone as I hoped he would be. I knew they probably already knew I was here. I still couldn't help but be as stealthy as I could be.
I saw that he was there with Sam. It looked as if they were just having a good time. I didn't know if I should step in or just go back so I wouldn't intrude. The choice wasn't made by me. Sam pretty much noticed I was here already so he left.
"Hey Sam." I hoped my face wasn't too flushed. However, it probably was…
"Hey Bella. Good seeing you over here." He smiled but I could see a little bit of his guard up in his eyes. I ignored that and ran straight to Jake. Good thing he caught me or else I would've broken something.
"Jake! Goodness, I missed you." He set me down and he grabbed my hand. We started walking down the beach hand in hand.
"You think you miss me? I missed you like crazy! I didn't know how long it would take you to get here." After that he muttered something about my truck being too slow.
"Hey! I heard that wolf boy. There is nothing wrong with my truck! It's perfectly fine if I do say so myself." I tightened my grip on his hand.
"I'm the engineer and trust me. Your truck is too slow!"
"Your truck is too slow!" I mentally slapped myself. That was such a bad come back…he doesn't even own a truck!
"Bells? A truck?" I could hear him mocking me in his brain. Grr…if only they invented a time stopper. I would've had enough time to think of a good come back.
"…I got too heated up and I didn't know what else to say!" I laughed awkwardly. He just couldn't stop snickering about the lameness I portray at times. I can't help it!
"Next time I'll give you a ten second rule." This time he stuck his tongue at me. We just had a tongue war. We fought to see who could stick their tongue out before the other one did.
"You're not going to win." I said. But since my tongue was out it sounded more like, "Yeo nut goan ta wen."
"I'm a dog Bella. Trust me I will!" but that sounded more like, "Um uh doeg Beluh. Tust meh aye weal!"
We kept taunting each other—well at least tried to. Then accidentally, I swear it was an accident! I put my tongue back in because it was lacking moisture. Unfortunately for me that was an automatic fail for me.
"I won! I told you Bells." He stuck his tongue out at me again.
"Rematch! Rematch!" I chased him around. He kept wagging his tongue around.
"No way. Not unless you catch me." He winked my way. That made me want to catch him even more now. He suddenly stopped and he caught me.
"Rematch?" I asked hopefully.
"Hmm…Nah." He kissed the top of my head. We headed back laughing at this ridiculous match. We held hands and we were practically letting our hands lead the way.
"So what do you want to do now?" we were at his house now.
"Well, Sam asked me to fix his car up a bit. You can watch me?" I nodded excitedly. I love watching him. First of all, if you ever see him working, you know that he really does love doing this. Second of all, he looked so attractive the last time I saw him working. So either way, it's all good with me.
I was able to lead him to his garage. I don't know why he let me though. It was pretty odd since he usually leads the way. Still, I knew the way around this house from the back of my head so it's alright. I turned the light on in the garage and saw that everything was the same. Besides the tools, the figure was consistent which was a relief to me. I found a chair in the corner and I decided to sit there.
"Okay, my dad got me a few new stuff so I can teach you about them!" I could tell that he was so excited about telling me about them. I'm pretty sure he knew that I wasn't as interested as he was but I think he just wanted me to know what's so good about it. He was acting like a little kid who got a new toy and it made me love him even more. Ah, if that was possible and it is.
He went on about the pieces, where to put them, and how they functioned. I listened and asked questions but I have to admit I did get lost sometimes. It didn't matter though because he just wanted to be able to say what he wanted to say.
After a while, Paul and Jared came into the garage.
"Hey Jake?" they both walked in. I noticed that they looked surprised I was there listening to him.
"Bella? What are you doing here?" the Paul said it made me kind of mad. It's as if he always wanted to get me even though I haven't done anything wrong! No matter what I do, he seems to hate me.
"I just wanted to hang out with Jake." I tried my best to not sound rude to him even though he was clearly being rude!
"That's cool Paul. It's cool." The way he said it, it was as if he was warning Paul to keep it down. He growled back at Jared and kept his mouth shut.
"So what do you guys want?" Jake attempted to wipe the grease off of his hands but after struggling with it for a few minutes, he just stopped.
"Well Sam says it's your turn to do patrolling." Paul growled quietly. His arms were folded and his stance was guarded.
"Oh okay." He turned my way. "I'm sorry Bells. I guess I have to go…" he was definitely disappointed about going.
"It's okay Jake. I have to be getting home anyways." I went off the seat and we all made our way outside.
He walked me to my truck. We tried to sneak in a kiss but Paul and Jared kept making howling sounds. I growled in annoyance and just told Jake we can sneak one later. I went inside my truck and drove back to Forks.
I felt pretty sad leaving my second home in La Push. I didn't feel too lonely in Forks but at least when I was in La Push, I was always with someone who I can talk to. In Forks I pretty much have a lot, maybe way too much time to myself. This caused me to clean. I guess I clean when I'm bored, nervous, mad…hmm…I think just about any reason would do.
I remember once I cleaned the floors too many times that Charlie kept slipping and falling over. He made me rub dirt on the floor just to make it a little better.
I spent the last few hours doing homework, reading, cooking, and practicing to not cleaning. I didn't know if Jake was back or not but I forgot to tell him that I would be hanging out with Mike and Angela tomorrow.
I went to the phone but right when I was going to call him, Charlie came back home. I felt kind of awkward standing near the phone and I didn't want him to know I was going to call Jake.
"Hey dad." I went over to him and gave him an awkward hug. He smiled and we both went to get the dinner I cooked.
"So Bella, do you have any plans for this week?" it was as if he knew that I was going to call Jake to inform him about it. This reminded me of my vampire friends. Or are they considered ex-friends? Whoa, that kind of hurt me. I wanted to crawl back into a ball and get that thought out of my head but I managed to knock that feeling off.
"Actually, Mike, Angela, and I want to go out tomorrow. That's okay?" I didn't want to sound so demanding but I didn't want to seem as if I need to ask permission. He nodded and smiled happily.
We finished our dinner and we finished the night being comfortable. I cleaned the dishes and Charlie stayed watching TV. Once I was done, I went ahead and watched the television with my father. It was quite awkward because my dad knew what he wanted to watch but since I was there he didn't wanted us to watch something I wouldn't enjoy. But to be honest I don't watch too much TV. In fact, now that I think of it, I spend the majority of my time out and with Jake. I don't stay home too much and do the typical TV marathon that most teenagers do. Does this mean I'm odd?
"Charlie, I'm fine with watching what you want to. Honestly, I wouldn't mind." I assured him with a convincing smile. He nodded once and went back to his show.
As the show drifted on I started to fall asleep. I guess I should go to sleep. I walked up the stairs and into my room. I put on my pajamas and fell on my bed. I let my eyes closed and waited for unconsciousness to hit me. That's when I heard a tap on the window. Why, why, why, why, why?
I groaned and opened the window for Jake. He smiled playfully as he jumped in. this is kind of odd since this was a little tradition we used to do.
"I'm tired." That was the first thing I said to him as he carried me back to my bed. He kissed my cheek and caressed my skin.
"Well I'm here now so wake up." He smiled and tickled me on the neck.
I bite my lip so I wouldn't laugh out loud. "Jake!" I whispered angrily. He finally stopped and I held my breath.
I growled and fell back on the bed. "I want to sleep." I turned around to see him starting to drowse off as well. He caught me staring at him and he smiled.
"I guess that makes the two of us huh?" I leaned on his shoulder and he wrapped his hand around mine.
"Did Sam make you work hard?" I know I should stop being so "blame it all on Sam" but I guess he's my scapegoat.
"Nope!" he popped his p. "I was actually working hard on his car so I could come here." Oh…wow I feel like a jerk.
"Why did you do that Jake? You didn't have to come here anyways!" I saw that he was a little hurt about that. "But I'm really glad you did." I whispered. He smiled and leaned his head on mine.
"You know what? I want to hang out with the pack more. Get to know them more besides the obvious." He looked kind of shock.
"You really want to?" I nodded enthusiastically. He laughed quietly but happily and scratched his hair.
"Wow, well…wow Bells! That makes me so happy. Well I think anyone in the pack would be okay with that in fact." He was twitching a bit. I guess he was excited about that. The heat that radiated off from his body was attacking my eyes. I blinked way too many times and soon I didn't even blink anymore.
"You're tired." I can hear the smile in his voice.
"No Jake. I'm not. I promise you a gajillion dollars." My voice didn't want to speak anymore.
"Sure Bells. Its fine…" his head was getting heavier on me. We both slipped down and I felt my pillow on one side of my head and Jake on the other side. I sighed contently and fell into a deep slumber.
Whoo! finally:)
