The Accidental Kiss
So here is chapter two, I hope you enjoy it, I saw a comment about Jacob picking up Peyton's scent and knowing it was her. Hopefully this chapter explains why he didn't notice it straight away, you have to remember whilst yes he knows her scent, but in his mind she is on the other side of the world, patrolling every night for two weeks straight, he couldn't think straight, mistakes are easily made when your brain is shattered. Remember I am not exactly the best writer, I am doing this to put the stories swimming around in my head down so other people could possibly enjoy them, it is also helping me pass the time and helps with my anxiety.
Enjoy!
Chapter Two
It had been three days since the incident with Peyton happened, Jacob was sitting on the stairs to his Alpha's front porch, he had spent the better part of three days avoiding both Bell's and Peyton, although Pey by the looks of things had been avoiding him too, he couldn't remember a day they hadn't messaged back and forth, the time spent not in contact hurt Jacob but the pain was amplified as she was his imprint.
He was still trying to wrap his mind around what happened, he could still feel her pressed up against him, her lips on his, the tingling that erupted through him at her touch, the scent of her imbedded into his brain.
When he looked into her eyes, that feeling of finally feeling complete, his whole world shifting and focusing on her, his body vibrating with the stark truth that she was his, the one, the one girl in the whole world who was made just for him.
He had loved Peyton through their entire childhood, they were always best friends, their lives always had been entwined and he couldn't imagine his life without Peyton in it, he just never expected it to be in the form of his imprint, he always imagined himself with Bella, growing old with her, having a bunch of kiddies running around, when he used to think about that he used to hope for it, now it bought him nothing but dread, everything he used to want with Bella had evaporated in one look.
His phone buzzed, drawing him from his thoughts, looking down he saw it was a message from Bella, his thumb hovered over the button to open it, he had avoided it for three days and he knew he couldn't avoid it any longer.
Bella: We need to talk.
He knew they did, he just didn't want that talk to occur so soon, he still felt like he had to sort things out in his jumbled up brain.
Jacob: I know.
Bella: Time and place?
Jacob: Tonight, 10 pm, your room?
Bella: See you then.
Taking a shaky breath in, he had four hours before he had to be there, he was anxious at the thought of running into Peyton again but his inner wolf was vibrating with excitement, he knew he wouldn't be able to stay away from her long.
"Hey what's up buttercup?"
Looking up, he found Emily looking at him in concern, of course the whole pack where hugely supportive of me, they still really didn't like Bella much but even before the imprint they absolutely loved Peyton, everyone did.
"I don't know if I can do this Em, pretty much through my whole teenage years I thought Bell's was the one for me you know, Peyton was my side kick, we done everything together, pulled pranks on our friends, skipped classes to go snow ball fighting, when problems arose or things turned bad she would be the one I turned to, the one I trusted most to give me sound advice and I never envisioned more than that between us, and in an instance everything has been torn away and been put back in a different order, all I can see now is Peyton as the one for me, everything I thought I wanted with Bella is everything I now want with her sister, no matter which way I look at it, someone is going to get hurt, I love them both so much and because of my wolf and the imprint I have to hurt someone, how is that fair?" My voice cracking with emotion half way through my rant, I could barely keep the tears at bay.
A slender, warm arm curls around my shoulders, her body heat seeping into me as she leans into me to offer comfort.
"I know it seems like an impossible situation right now Jake, but give it time and things will slowly work its self out, Bella will forgive you, she knew the risk of being with you, and there was always a possible chance you would imprint. As for Peyton I could only suggest you take your time with that one, don't rush her into any rash decisions, before anything just be her friend, be the Jake she grew up with and everything will fall in to place, you just have to believe that the spirits chose the correct person for you, this would never have happened if she wasn't meant for you."
I understood what Emily was saying, thinking back to the time between her, Sam and Leah, if anyone knew about this situation it was her, nearly two years later and Leah was finally on speaking terms with them, through a lot of pain, anger and arguments it did finally settle, he just prayed it wouldn't be that difficult for him, Bell's or Peyton…
Standing outside the Swan's resident, still and quiet as he observed the noises from inside the home, he could hear Bella up in her bedroom, pacing up and down, irritated mummers imitating from her, he couldn't distinguish what she was saying but he could hear the anger behind it.
By the sound of it Charlie was pulling a night shift down at the station as he couldn't hear him anywhere inside the house, concentrating harder he manages to pick up on where Peyton is, in a room on the other side of the house he had never stepped foot in, he could hear the almost silent cries, pain like he never felt flared up in his chest, he forgot that has his imprint she would be feeling the effects of the separation just as much as he was.
He willed himself to not run to her, fighting with his wolf that he first had to handle the situation with Bella before he could concentrate full heartedly on building a new relationship with Peyton, at the mention of any kind of relationship with his imprint the wolf inside him settled, with a sigh of relief he begins to make his climb up to the window, like he had done a hundred times before, he had a feeling this would be the very last time he made this trek, well at this window at least.
The window was left open, like she always did when she expected him to turn up, silently landing inside her room, she was standing next to her desk, like some kind of six sense she knew she wasn't alone anymore and her head snapped up in my direction, from what I could see she felt just as anxious about this meeting as I did.
"So do you want to explain to me what exactly happened Jake?" The anger behind the question made him gulp because he knew after tonight that anger would be tenfold and directed right at him.
"I… I don't even know where to start Bell's."
Hearing my voice quiver with emotion, her features softened up a bit, walking over she grasps my hand in hers and leads me over to the bed, we sit down side by side, our shoulders touching, seeing the bed made images from that night flicker rapidly through my head but I was quick to push them back again, this was not the time to be thinking about that.
Situated comfortably side by side, her hand still holding mine, I was trying to build up the courage to tell her what I had come to say, a lump lodged in the back of my throat, I thought nothing was more difficult in life then turning into a giant wolf and hunting vampires, I was wrong.
"Why don't you start from the beginning?"
"You have to promise me not to say anything until I have finished explaining everything."
I could see her mulling everything over, the slight nod indicating for me to continue.
"Right so after finishing up night patrol for the 14th time in a row, I was dead on my feet, all I could think about was climbing in to bed with you and falling asleep wrapped around you. It wasn't different from any other night, I climbed through, I thought I saw you lying in bed and I done what I did every time before that, I stripped off my shorts and shuffled my way in beside you, I didn't want to disturb you until I felt you… Peyton I suppose pressed up against me."
Pausing for a moment, collecting my thoughts I pressed on, this wasn't going to be pleasant for ether of us but it was something that needed to be done.
"There where little tell-tale signs it wasn't you, for one she was sleeping in just her bra and panties but I put it down to it being a rather hot night, her smell was different but honestly Bell's, I was way too exhausted to really think it could be anyone but you, for all I knew you could have just changed your body wash, it isn't exactly an uncommon thing to happen. What really should have stood out to me though, was the electric tingling sensation that begun the moment my body came into contact with hers."
At this point Bella had been sitting there, calm and patient listening to me, but when I said the last words I could see her body become a slightly bit more ridged as she cottoned on to what I was saying, my anxiety kicked up a level as I continued my story.
"I can't really explain what overcame me, the moment my skin came into contact with hers, all sense just fled me, and I decided to wake you… her up for some nightly fun."
Bella swallowed hard when she realised something more then what she thought has occurred between me and her sister, I had to steel myself for what I was about to tell her.
"I am not going into details because it's not something you need to hear, but we kissed Bella, it was so different from what our kisses where, I couldn't think straight, if I could my mind would have connected the dots that it wasn't you I was kissing, my mind became a haze as the kiss continued, it did escalate, it got to the point that she was bare up top, and I just lost myself."
Heart in my throat, I kept eye contact with her as I told her what happened, seeing the tears well up in her brown eyes killed me, I wanted to put a stop to this conversation, but for everyone's sake I had to finish the story.
"When things got a bit more out of hand, she woke up, I had honestly thought it was you and you was wide awake and fully participating in what was taking place but she froze under me, I pulled back to see what was wrong and made the startling realisation it wasn't you, that's when she screamed and I bolted off the bed to hurriedly redress, you came bursting through the door, when I realised just who it was I was gobsmacked, my brain couldn't quite catch up with what I was seeing, all I knew was Peyton was still back in the UK, not right there laying in your bed."
As much as this was hurting Bella, I could see she understood what went so horribly wrong that night, if only she knew just how bad.
"Jake I… I don't blame you for what happened; it's an easy mistake to make. I really don't appreciate the fact that you have both been avoiding me though, it's a hard pill to swallow, knowing that… that you touched and kissed my sister but we can move past it given enough time."
Hearing them softly spoken words just hurt me even more, he wished it was so simple, he wished things could return back to the way things where, his eyes filled up with tears and he glanced away from Bella to look at their conjoined hands.
"There's more isn't there?"
I was at the point I could barely talk, nodding my head yes, I inhale a deep breath to tell her the most important part.
"Bell's if it was something just as simple as a kiss or a bit of touching, I wouldn't have run and I certainly wouldn't have avoided you, please Bella, please understand me when I say this is the very last thing I wanted or expected to happen." I could hear the desperation kicking in the more I spoke and so could she, her hand pulled away from mine and she automatically wrapped her arms around her stomach, she was protecting herself from the blow she knew she was about to receive.
"When… When you turned the lights on, and I looked at Peyton, everything chan…"
"NO, don't you dare say it Jacob black, please te… Tell me it isn't true, you… you can't say it Jake." Bella was up and standing defensively in front of me, by this point silent tears where staining both our cheeks.
"I am so so sorry Bella, I imprinted on Peyton."
For what felt like hours silence enveloped us, neither of us knew what to say, studying Bella she was completely frozen, if I didn't know any better she could be seen as a vampire she was so still, like a statue.
It didn't look like she was breathing, she wasn't even blinking and then she erupted.
"Get the fuck out of my house, I… I can't believe you would do this to me, to us Jacob, after everything we have been through, I chose YOU and you promised me forever, how? How could you do it?"
I knew if she was thinking rationally she would know it wasn't my fault, that imprinting wasn't something I could control, looking at her I could see she wasn't in her right mind, her whole body vibrated with rage, hurt and despair poured from her, when the sobs began I cried right along with her, this wasn't fair, to any of us.
"I can't apologise enough Bell's, please you have to underst…"
"I don't have to understand nothing, when Peyton told me she was coming to live here, I was over the moon, I could finally have my sister with me, to share my life with me and my boyfriend, to be… to be the maid of honour at our wedding, the god mother to our children, and for the first time in my life I regret ever laying eyes on her."
"Bella! You can't mean that, you love her, she is your sister."
"I do mean it, I hate her and I hate you, you both destroyed my life, I can't stand the thought of seeing ether of you again, you fucking disgust me!"
"Bella, please calm down, how can you be so mad at her when she doesn't know anything, she has no idea what's happened, be angry with me but not her, she loves you so much, she has always looked up to you."
"I don't give a shit, she can fuck off back from where she came from, if it wasn't for her then I would still have you. No, she's a dirty little home wrecker and I will never forgive you or her for this, NOW GET OUT." Everyone knew she had a temper but when her bedside lamp flew past my head and shattered against the wall behind me, it was like seeing a whole new Bella, this wasn't the women I had fallen in love with, studying her, her once pretty face was contorted with disgust and rage, her body violently trembled as she glared at me, no this wasn't the Bella I knew.
Without another word I left the way I came, my feet touching the soft grass, I contemplated if I should go see Peyton or not, but after the last conversation I had, I really didn't feel up to it. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will talk to Peyton, just pray that turns out better than the conversation I just had with her sister.
