twist and turns
Bpov
I had just wanted a nice night out but it turned out a big embarrassment for me.
Thankfully Emmet and his friend jasper D' Souza saved me by taking me from the crowd .
They safely huddled me into their car. Rose was already in the car.
I didn't knew how my face looked but it was surely bad which made both of my relatives to sit with me at the back and were hugging me as jasper zoomed the car in the darkness of the night.

Mom and I had a quiet dinner of lamb pepprika with chilly spring onion rings .I had not expected her to blurt out the truth ever and that too in front of so many people.
I had waited for her to come back after sometime, we needed to talk. I gave up any hope of my getting to talk face to face with my wife , when Rose called me that Bella will be staying there for the night .
She ran away from me again ! When I was going to sleep ,Rose's words informing me about Bella's recent behaviour revolved in my mind .
If Bella had opened her mouth before ,then we wouldn't have suffered so much.
Bella was broken by her mother and she in turn broke me! I wanted to know why couldn't she trust to tell me the truth ?
I am not stupid like the other guys ,did she even try to understand me in those horrible four months?
Next morning
When Bella came to office, she looked washed out.
She told everyone that she had a bad hangover being it her first time drinking. I knew that she didn't have much that she would have such a major hangover.
She looked over me and was relieved when she saw me in the office. I don't know what was going in her brain. Why doesn't she have the courage to talk to me?
I saw her talking with Edward who acted sympathetic with her.
We didn't speak much in the office after I told her to come back home in the evening reminding her about Mom .
She was going to ask questions before she went to stay with her cousin.
Was she expecting I am going to plead to her again like before to talk to me , sorry that was not happening.
I saw Edward getting close to her, I have to be practical .
Before the divorce proceedings took place at the end of this month, I have to vent my pent up feelings and frustrations out even if she didn't talk to me. I decided to talk to her in the evening at home.
Evening
I stormed in the room and spoke calmly to Bella as she went in her room "you always run from the fucking mess you create without giving any explanation ?". She looked startled at my accusation
"What mess did I left behind? I really don't know what's happening"
"You ran away to rose's house after the fight at the club, I decided to make peace for the time being for the sake of my mother. You didn't come home for dinner even and didn't even call to tell me about your whereabouts yourself on the phone." Bella looked down; she was averting meeting my gaze.
"Stop being so childish, Bella. You have not anything to lose now, so look at me!" I snapped at her .
She looked up and I could see the frightened look on her face, I lowered my voice as I spoke "you ran away to her house without telling it on my face. You don't want to be anywhere near me as always. Just bear it, for few more days. I was a fool to believe that you love me after …"she growled and before I could complete my sentence ,she suddenly grabbed my head with her right hand and then Bella's lips were on mine.
Before my brain would register, I was responding to her kisses. We were attacking each others mouth with all our frustrations pouring out. I licked her lower lip, thinking of the times she made me crazy for her by biting it. She gasped and her tongue grazed with mine .
She brought her other hand up and I remembered all of a sudden sense of hurt and stopped from the kiss from deepening any further.
I brought my hands up to graze at her cheeks. I let her go after giving her chaste kisses, Bella then slowly opened her eyes and met mine, her eyes looked like molten pools of chocolate with desire .
She then looked down and said "you are right. I ran away but it was not because I didn't want to see your face .I thought you would need a little space to process what happened at the club, ii had thought you would tell me to leave you before the time is up. I am sorry. I thought I will….."Before she could complete her sentence I walked away to wash up in the bathroom to save myself from forgiving her soon. If what she was telling was right, she has to work damn hard to remove the bitterness she put in my heart at the first place!

Omg! Did I really kiss him? This kiss had been the best kiss of my life; it curled my toes with this French kiss. I thought that those kisses were unhygienic before but with Jacob it was fucking heavenly .
He didn't push me away while I kissed him .
So it's definitely a start he's not completely over me. THANK GOD!
I am not going to lose this last chance and have to work hard to remove the wall between us.
Next day morning
"Bella, we were so worried when you didn't call us back . Thanks to Rose she called .Jacob was so worried "Sarah said as she passed the garlic, yellow capsicum and onion she had cut earlier.
Bella took it and sautéed it. "Be careful next time" Sarah said as she put the black beans from the container and kept on the counter
"I am sorry, mom "Bella said as she smiled sheepishly at her and took tomato puree, chipotle sauce and tomato concasee from her.
"Well, we had a mini fight at the club. It was my fault "Bella said as she added the water to the mix and let it cook with the black beans, as she brought the salt to be added to the mix.
"Is all well now honey between you and Jacob? Let it go "Sarah said worried.
"No need to worry, mom. He is coming around. Please tell me about our cousin you are going to visit today "Bella asked as she added the pepper and started to cook again after stirring it again after she added the salt.
While the soup cooked, Sarah filled about her cousin.

"What is this?" I asked Bella. She had made a delicious looking red soup.
"Its fire house chilli soup" Bella had garnished it with cheddar cheese and spring onion. I dipped the tortilla chips in the soup and took a bite. It was simply out ….
"What happened, Jacob? Say something" cried mom.
Bpov
"It's so good "said Jacob at last after getting still for laughed and winked at me. It was first time after so months that he tasted my food without making any face.
He liked what I had made and was vocal about it. I am so glad that he was trying to come back slowly to his earlier sweet self.

I have to know it. I need to talk to Bella, she made me a tasty dish. It surely meant that she didn't want to avoid me and was willing to try to break the wall between us. I can't forget her ever, mom was not going to be present at the house .
I can't believe she still loves me . Did she tell so due to her drunken behavior or was it true confession of her heart?
I decided to make peace with Bella before she went away; I needed to be in good terms with her as I wanted to be her friend in future.
Third point of view
Bella closed their bedroom door behind her and headed for the bathroom .
She slipped out of her dress, and untied her hair. Then she removed her makeup and changed into the silky leopard printed top and pajamas. Once she was done she sprayed a scent on a bit of vanilla scented perfume and came to the living room as Jacob wanted to talk to her.
She was surprised that he wanted to talk to her. "The pizza will be here in ten more minutes "Jacob said as Bella cleared her throat before taking a seat on the couch, not knowing what to say
." Am I making you uncomfortable?"Jacob asked her as Bella blushed .
"It's surreal because I know the real reason now, Bella why didn't you tell me all this? We promised to share our joys and sorrows when we took vows of marriage not once, but twice! Was the promise you made to your mother was more important for you that you hurt me and yourself "
Bella cried on hearing it "You know I was afraid of losing you afterwards. Remember the day I hugged you when the colleague interrupted us. I was afraid as I thought you would not accept me just like Edward. Afterwards then Lauren…"she smiled "you also me owe lot of apologies too ,Jacob for being so snappy "
"I do "he said in a serious tone that surprised her second time during the day , after he told her he was going to talk about them at home in the evening during their lunch time at the workplace .
He was just about to say something when the door bell rang.
