Jacob was nudging me and I opened one eyelid to look at him, "Do you have a death wish Jake?" I closed my eyelid once more and let sleep over take me.
He began to nudge me again and I sighed, "What?"
"I don't have class till three, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to lunch and do some shopping with me." He sounded like a child asking for cookies before dinner and it made me smile.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you. I'm just exhausted."
He frowned, "I know."
Did he blame himself for me being tired or what? "Why does that upset you?"
"I just, want to hang out with you but I know you need your sleep. I'm torn." That got me out of the bed, I could sleep when he was at school.
"I'm all yours Jake," I stood to kiss him and he wrapped his strong arms around me. "Let me get dressed and we'll go shopping but can you drive?" He nodded and I squeezed his ass through his jeans. "Love you."
He sat on the bed watching me stumble around the bedroom trying to get dressed in my half awake half asleep stupor trying his hardest not to smirk. I sat in front of my mirror with my brush and sighed at the tousled mess that was my hair. I began to brush it and caught Jacob's stares in the mirror behind me.
"What?" I asked, raking the brush through the ends.
He smirked and came over behind me, slowing the brush down in my hand. "Let me."
I raised my eyebrows at him in surprise but handed him the hairbrush. He sectioned my hair off into three sections, he began from the bottom untangling the mess up to it's roots before following suit on the other sections. I glanced at him and giggled to myself, his tongue in cheek as he worked my hair over.
I watched him silently work my hair into silky smooth strands and went to stand only to be gently pushed back down.
"I'm not done yet." He smirked, making his hand into a claw and pretending to suck my brains out with it as he laughed.
I smirked, "What else is there to do Jake?"
He smiled and re-sectioned my hair and began to braid it, I sat there stunned.
"You know how to braid?" As he ended it with an elastic he pulled a few loose strands out that framed my face and he laid the brush down.
I turned my head to see the details of the braid and my heart swelled at the job he had done.
As though he could hear my thoughts he smirked and rubbed his neck nervously, "Hello. Indian."
"Well you did an amazing job Jake. I bet you miss your hair, I know I do."
"Yeah, I do." he ran his hands through his shortened hair and sighed, clapping his hands together and pointing at the door. "Sooo...you ready?"
I smiled up at him and pulled him towards me by his jeans pocket. "Come here first." He kneeled down and I met his lips with a sweet kiss. "Thank you for doing my hair."
"No big." He kissed me again and swatted my thigh. "I'll meet you downstairs."

Before we had gone shopping Jacob pulled out a credit card and said the Res had to pay the bill. They sent him to school with it and he wanted to buy stuff for the house and I couldn't argue with him. It was our home for the next four years, assuming we were still together and I hoped we would be.
We had lunch at a Taco place near the mall and it was fairly decent, I had a chicken enchilada and sweet tea and Jacob ate several things, I couldn't keep track. His appetite was ever present and after wards he bought us cookies from Mrs. Fields at the mall and we munched them as we walked around the mall hand in hand. This was something I'd never experienced in High School, walking the mall with your boyfriend or friends not that I was big on it back then, a whole year ago.
"Here...I want to buy some clothes. Would it be totally boring for you to help me pick some out?" He made me smile so much.
"Of course not, I'd love to."
I picked out a bunch of clothes for Jacob to try on and he put his in with them and we went in the family dressing room together. He paired a grey v-neck with straight legged blue jeans and my mouth was watering, he looked incredible!
"Bella?"
I looked up at him and smiled, "That's amazing."
"I don't look like I'm trying to wear clothes too small for me?"
"Hell no."
He laughed and lifted the shirt to see the waistbands fit,his v peeking out. "I guess."
The second outfit he'd picked out, a red t-shirt with his school on the front and a pair of straight legged lighter jeans with studs on the pockets. "Okay, this is douche-worthy."
I laughed, "It's good for spirit day."
"Not happening. Next."
He tried on several more outfits and kept a majority of them and we bought them and some vans for him. He would be set with new clothes for the month but he deserved them, he'd grown out of most of his clothes since we started dating. He'd also bought a ton of pajama bottoms, underwear, socks and tank tops for sleeping in.
He turned to me and rubbed his neck nervously. "Uh, I'm done. So, your turn then."
I shook my head, "No, I'm okay."
"You've worn the same clothes since you moved back. What about those pants of yours with the holes in them?" He laughed at his own joke and chucked all of his bags into the trunk of the rabbit.
"Why do you hate my pants? Why?" I laughed. "I don't, I feel bad."
"Don't, the Res has millions they aren't using. Splurge on a new wardrobe or get your hair done or your nails or whatever it is you girls like to do."
"Us girls?" I slapped his chest and he hugged me into his chest.
"I want you to buy stuff too. After that we'll go shopping for the house."
I nodded and we ended up at a hair salon, I wanted a trim but ended up with red highlights that were subtle enough with my brown hair to look natural and I loved it. I told Jacob to go next door and I'd be over when it was done, it was blow dried straight but curled out at the ends.
I found him looking at lingerie which actually made me laugh and give away my surprise entrance I'd hoped for.
"Shut up." He growled playfully, He then noticed my hair and stopped. He ran his fingers through it with his mouth hanging wide open. "Wow. I thought you'd end up with a trim this is...sexy Bella."
"Thank you. So...I guess it's time for you to pick out some clothes."
He laughed, "I'll try."
He'd chosen a lot of skinny jeans in various washes and some solid colors and a lot of simple v-necks or tees for me, he knew I liked comfortable clothing. I grabbed him by the bottom of his tee and pulled him into the dressing room as I began to try them on.
"Bella, lift your shirt."
I lifted it and he smiled, "Your ass is so cute in those."
I laughed, "Down boy."
"They are comfortable." I pulled the light blue top down and smiled at my reflection. It was true, it'd been a long time since I had gotten new clothing.
"I like seeing you look at yourself that way."
"What way?" I pulled the jeans off and grabbed another pair.
"Where you find yourself attractive like I do."He smiled at me and tossed my jeans into the keep pile.
"Thanks Jake. Uhm...Why don't you go pick out some skirts or some dresses?"
"Really?" He looked uncomfortable with the task and I giggled.
"Yeah, you owe me some dates you know." I winked at him as he shut the door behind him.
"You got it."
When he returned my mouth gaped open at the dresses and outfits he found me in the dressy category. They were gorgeous and not long enough for me to trip over which made me chuckle at his thoughtfulness.
"Hopefully you like those, I kind of just grabbed one of each, though one outfit in there I picked out for you."
I held up a red razer back tunic that was flowly and had lace across the back. It was beautiful as I slid it over my ivory skin. He then handed me a skirt made from black cotton and I slid it on it hugged me in the hips and butt area but was probably 5 inches or so from my knees. I hung my head and glared at Jacob through the mirror as he salvated behind me.
"I love it." He smirked.
"You would." I turned to see the back and didn't think I looked half bad. "But you want me wearing this out for others to see me in?" I nodded, "Okay."
He shook his head and stood up and held his hand up in protest, "Actually..."
I laughed and wrapped my arms around his torso and looked up at him. "I love you."
He smiled and hugged me to his chest, kissing the top of my head. "I love you too Bells."
I ended up buying that outfit, it would be healthy for Jacob to be a little jealous from time to time. I also bought several new pairs of shoes, all new bras and panties that matched and Jake had thrown in a few thongs which I found at check out. He had blushed and looked the other way as she ran it across the scanner, traitor. I bought a ton of outfits and a new purse also as well as a new wallet that Jacob insisted replace the old wallet I had from junior high with hearts on it.
After we loaded his tiny rabbit up with our clothing purchases we drove to the furniture store and were sitting in a giant sized camping chair together when a girl walked up to us. "Hi Jacob!" Her perfect white teeth glistened under the lights and her blonde hair was perfectly curled.
Jacob looked confused but gave a small wave.
"It's me, Cybil. I'm in your cooking class."
"Oh, okay. Hi." I bit my lip, wanting to laugh at how uninterested he was.
"Hi. I was just wondering...I heard you were a hit at the party last night and was hoping you'd be coming to the kegger tomorrow."
"Ah, no." He answered quickly but I leaned forwards and laughed.
"Ah, actually...Yes, he'll go."
I crossed my arms across my body in a nervous habit and knew Jacob was staring at me, Cybils eyes not leaving Jacob.
"Awesome, see you there J."she spun on her designer heel and I felt Jacob grab me.
"Why? Why!" He shook me playfully with each word and my pent up laughter erupted.
"Jake stop." I continued to laugh as he poked me anywhere he could reach me. "I want to go with you."
"Oh...well that's cool."
I had alterior motives for wanting to go and I was about to end the curiosity of Jacob's girlfriend.
PARTY TIME
I smacked my lips together as I finalized my make-up for the party, airbrushed ivory make up.
I had a great smokey eye on that I learned how to do on the internet and a blush brush I bought, it was like a glue stick. I also had on pearlized lip gloss on in a nude color, my hair just as it was from the Salon but I curled the ends inwards and ran a glossy serum through it to smooth down the fly aways. My fake eyelashes made my eyes pop with the mascara I had bought from Sephora and I looked amazing. I made Jake wait downstairs and glanced at the clock, I needed to hurry up. I pulled on my skin tight ivory dress with the sweetheart neckline and my new gladiator sandals and rubbed shimmer lotion all over my exposed skin. I grabbed a pair of diamond earrings and the necklace and headed downstairs.
Jake was leaning against the counter in a skin tight grey v-neck and skinny jeans in a dark wash and some vans he got. His hair was loose and fluffy like a liked it; he looked amazing too.
"Hey Jake, you look amazing."
"Holy shit!" He said, turning to look me up and down. "Jesus Bella. Oh my god."
I smiled, "You like?"
He nodded, "Very much. Jesus." He spun me around and shook his head. "Now "I" look like I shouldn't be with "YOU"."
I laughed, "Oh but you do." I leaned in and kissed him and grabbed his neck, rubbing it in my hand. I wanted to jump him so badly but this party was important to me too.
He pulled back and licked his lips, "No flavor...Kind of disappointed." He wiped the lipgloss off and smiled.
"That's for teenagers." I laughed, "I have it upstairs. Maybe tonight?" I winked and he nodded and looked me up and down again.
"I have to be honest, I don't want to leave the house right now."
I laughed again, "I know, I feel the same way! But we have to make an appearance."
"Sure, Sure."
