LOVE FOOLS

thanks corkyellems and Sarah for your review , thanks guest for loving it and reviewing ,my spanish is weak but love you all the same :)

Saving ourselves

They both rose up at the same time but Jacob insisted on answering the door and getting their dinner for thr night .

Bella agreed and went away to bring some plates and forks from the kitchen .

The smell of the pizza wafted from the boxes as Jacob brought them over to the center table.

"Jake, how did you know what to order for me?" she asked him in awe as she dug in her favorite pepperoni thin crust pizza.

"You …uhh practically lived on it in the office , so it wasn't hard "he said biting his lower lip and cheeks getting reddened at the question.

So he had been paying attention to her when he claimed he didn't. Jacob got up to take his box of dessert , it was his favourite mango almond mousse. The next thirty minutes as they dug in their mousse with their forks, they discussed their likes and dislikes, what movie they watched and which places they would like to see .Jacob was astonished that the conversation went so freely between them; his mobile phone ringing interrupted the talk. Jacob recognized the number and his mood changed.

Bella saw his smile fade, as he hesitated to take the call.

Ravi was of no help now, he couldn't afford to antagonize her as his mother was recovering .

He took the call inspite of wanting to reject the call

"What do you want Lauren?" he hissed .

"I am missing you" Lauren replied in a slurry voice.

"Stop calling me. Our deal's over. I didn't tell anything to your husband. He fucking works under me , so if you don't bugging me .."

She sighed on the phone stopping Jacob "I know ...I just found out ...it was.. "

"See I am busy right now. Goodbye Lauren" he said in a strangled voice and hung up the phone .

Anguished Jacob started burying his face in his hands to compose himself fast . He was really having a nice time with his wife.

"Jacob?" Bella's eyes watered as she saw his eyes were flushed in anguish too . "You were really together then…"

"NO, Bella ! Pleeease believe me" said Jacob as he told about the plan between him and Ravi.

He also told him how Lauren had cheated him on him in college. He had gone for a few days to another state for representing their college in sports; he had come earlier than announced to give a surprise to her.

But to his surprise he had found her kissing and making out with someone near the desolate space of their college swimming pool.

Jacob couldn't see the guy but it was all over when Lauren didn't even feel sorry when he had confronted her about that. Lauren shrugged it off that she was not interested in him and was thinking about dumping his sorry and lanky ass months ago .

"Now a day's, she's threatening to tell about all this plan we had made earlier to my mother .I only did that because you were going too close to my mom. What would happen to her when we will get finally separated? She will be heartbroken. I don't like to tell lies to my mother, what if she gets to know about it from someone or knows it unexpectedly from somewhere " Jacob stopped his talk , and started crying .

It was too much for him as he was worried for his mom .

He would never be able to forgive Lauren ever in his life for endangering his mother's life !

"It's up to you, Jake. If you forgive me .then we can…" Jacob interrupted Bella "don't promise things you can't do, Bella. I am really not that angry on you just bitter that you couldn't trust me enough. I didn't need to suffer that much for no fault of mine . No need to feel sorry for me. I can see Edward and you are close "

"What!" Bella shouted in surprise "I am just cordial with him because of our work . Jessica threatened me to stay away from you, Jacob. You were getting too close with smooching and all with Lauren in the mall ;so I decided to have some fun in the office at karaoke night … How can I forget the insult he and his family did ! Did he spare thought for my family's reputation ,me before creating all that drama ?Then whom did he marry of all , oh so pure girl like he wanted ! "

"So don't you like him? "Jacob asked in disbelief .

"Yes, I don't like him. "said bells "So do you forgive me?"

Jacob said with a serious face "Well you have to earn your place in my heart again, Bella. I don't hate you anymore. Are you game for it?"

"Thanks, Jacob. Well, would you like some Chocó chip ice cream? I made a tub for two "Bella said and went to get the ice creams.

"Yeah, I definitely have room for that."He said as they silently ate their pint sized tubs in silence.

1 week later

I hurried back to work and finished what I had started before our lunch of red rice risotto .

She had been so relaxed at lunch with me, attentive to my every word.

It was nice talking to her , it made me feel good to know that I had someone there for me at the end of every day. But Bella felt like tense after we kissed again last night. What was troubling her? Was she tensed that I didn't believe Jessica was trying to spoil our relationship. She was still jealous of our dance at that party!

End of the month

Bpov

Jacob didn't believe me about Jessica's threatening me earlier. I let it slide as we went to Shimla at the end of the month; we dissolved our case before the judge. Pranay bhai took all the documents, we didn't want mom to know about it anyway if she came across it even through spring cleaning.

Jacob and I were watching a movie in the room of my dad Charlie's living room. Besides me, Jacob was scoffing as the movie played out about the werewolves and vamps. We were going to Mumbai next day.

Jacob's mom Sarah told us that she would join us in the city after 2 weeks.

"Oh, come on! If she really loved you she wouldn't have accepted the other man's proposal of kissing her!"

"Jacob, just watch the movie "I snorted .

He laughed and stayed quiet. I took the DVD out, once it was official the movie was over Jacob began to let out some steam.

"What about the funeral…the lead female met her cousin brother for only 10 minutes and she's crying bucket loads! All the vamps get killed for flimsy reason, what was that about?"

"Maybe the widdle werewolfie needs a nappie "I said in a baby voice, Jacob rolled his eyes .

He picked me up and slinging me over his shoulders took in my room "hey! Put me down"

"First things first" after closing the door we kissed. It seemed like ages and I couldn't get enough of it.

When it finished that what seemed like ages, was ten whole minutes of very long and passionate kissing.

And I couldn't be any happier ,when I pulled away .

He had a devilish grin plastered on his face as he made me sit on the makeshift fort of blankets he had made on the floor .

"Don't you dare!" as I caught the meaning behind his devilish stare, I warned him but it was too late.

Jacob at once began to tickle me. I squirmed as I told him to stop.

I had to pinch myself . We were finally on the path we ere destined to be . Jacob looked relaxed and happy as we cuddled and mock played with each other.

I just prayed that things just changed between us for the better in future.
