Author's Note:
Hey Guys! Sorry for the really long wait I've been up to my neck with homework and spending a lot of time with the school softball team, sadly leaving me no time to write. Here is finally chapter three! Enjoy!

I awoke to a bright sun illuminating every inch of my room. I slid out of bed, careful not to wake a still sleeping Edward, and walked over to the window. The sun was just lifted past the distant mountains, telling me it was only about eight in the morning.

I Stretched my arm up in the air and let in rest on the bun that still remained in my hair from yesterday. I pulled out the pins holding my curls together and let my hair rest on my shoulders. As I turned around, I felt my hair slip off my shoulder and fall to its full length down my back. It reached about to the tops of my hips.

I pulled a clump of hair into view and examined it. It looked knotted and messy. After a few more moments of looking at my hair, I pulled out clothes without even bothering to look what they were, and made my way to the washroom. I turned on the water pump and let my body slowly slip down into the water.

The warmness of the water felt good on my skin. I grabbed the bar of soap and began to lather it in my hair and on my body. It didn't take long to clean myself and I was already done. I stood up and stepped out of the bath, getting goosebumps everywhere as the cold air engulfed me. I quickly grabbed my towel and tightly wrapped it around my body.

Once I was dry, I dropped my towel and turned to my mirror. My eyes traced up and down my body, not liking what was before them. I quickly grabbed my under garments and covered my exposed body. When I looked at myself in the mirror for a second time, my eyes rested on the yellowing bruise that sat on my cheek. I sighed and turned around to get dressed. When I picked up my dress I smiled, realizing I had picked my favorite one.

The dress was a pale, sweet yellow that tied in the back with a white silk bow. It was simple, but I loved the way it looked on me. The dress was tight around my mid section, making my body look great, and it was cut in a way that showed off my full breasts. I pulled my wet hair one side and began brushing the mess.

I heard some rustling in my room, telling me Edward was waking up, and I walked to the nearest window to see the sun. The sun was rising quickly, and it looked to be about nine thirty now. I figured I had sometime before my meeting with Sir Black, so I walked back to the mirror to style my hair. I intricately twisted my curls and pinned them all to the top of my head, making an elegant up-do.

I walked out of the bathroom, feeling satisfied with how I looked. "Bella are you going out?"

I turned around to see Edward looking at me through tired eyes. "Yes I am. I'm going to see a... um friend."

Edward nodded his head, seemingly saying okay. He had a disappointed look on his face, but I didn't say anything more. I grabbed an apple off the counter and made my way out the door. The air outside felt hot and humid, but the sun felt good on my skin. As I walked, I took in my surroundings. Flowers were in full bloom, the trees were summer green and the sky was my favorite kind of blue.

When I finally reached the place where Sir Black and I are meant to meet, I look up at the sun. It is just the time we agreed to meet. Looking around, I don't see anywhere and assume he is on his way. I find a rock and sit down. While looking out at all the beautiful summer scenery, I lose myself in my thoughts.

Edward seemed really out of it this morning. Normally, he would have stopped me at all costs from leaving the house, but he just nodded. Maybe I should forgive him... he really does seem sor-

My thoughts are cut off when I see Sir Black jump down from a nearby tree. My eyes wander to the top and take in the full glory of the gigantic tree. "Were you all the way at the top of that tree?"

"Yes ma'am."

"My goodness, I would be much too scared to ever do that."

He smiles and my heart stops.
"It's not that bad. I could teach you to climb if you would like."

My eyes once again trail to the top of the tree. Climbing it seemed like an awful idea. I looked back down at Sir Black's smile and my mind went blank.
"Sure, I would love to learn."
He turned around and stalked over to the tree. I followed, kicking myself for letting beauty make me agrees to this. "Okay, so first you have to find a branch that you can hoist your self up with."

"Um... Alright."

I looked around and settled for a branch that looked like it wouldn't break with the pressure of my weight. He nodded his head In approval. "Now pull yourself up."

I looked up at the seemingly endless branches and my heart began to race. I felt adrenaline run through my body and I hoped that would help me lift myself. "Deep breaths, deep breaths."

I quietly told myself under my breath. I counted to three in my head and jumped up so my chin was above the branch. Sir Black looked at me, expecting more. I let out a sigh and summed up all my strength. I pushed myself up as far as I could and swung my leg around to the other side of the branch. Sir Black clapped and walked to my side. "Good. Now the next branch."

I again sighed and figured the best way for me to get up was to stand on the branch. I lifted both my feet to the top of the branch and pushed my body forward. Standing on a branch is harder than you think because I slipped off the narrow surface and I slipped off right into Sir Black's arms. "Uh.. Sir Black, I don't think I can climb this."

He chuckled. "That's okay. You just need to be more ready."

"Um okay... when will I know I'm ready?"

"Trust me, You'll know."

He sat down and patted the ground next to him. I walked over and sat down in front of him. I let myself fall on my back, so I was staring at the sky. "Ahh, What a wonderful day. Isn't it Sir black?"

He slides himself next to me and mimics my position. "It most certainly is beautiful today. Why, today is almost as beautiful as you."

I sit up instantly, taken back by his comment. Sure, Edward has called me pretty, but Edward said it in a way that didn't make me believe him. "Miss Swan... Are you alright?"

The sound of his voice was like music and it quickly brought me back to reality. "Oh.. Um yes. It's just.."

"Just what?"

"Well, you called me beautiful."

A slow, sweet smile spreads across his face. "Oh yes. I did say that and I said it because it couldn't be more true."

I can feel my heart pounding in my throat, blocking any words from forming. His smile fades to confusion. "Why do you look at me as if what I have said is terribly wrong."

My hand reaches up and touches my hope mark. "Well, I have found my perfect other."

This statement doesn't seem to phase him at all and it's at that moment that I notice his hope mark is no where to be found. He stands up and holds out a hand to help me up as well. When I grab his hand, I feel a shock of excitement go through my stomach. I quickly pull my hand away and stand up on my own. "Sir Black I... I think I should be going now."

"Alright. Shall we meet again tomorrow?"

I mull the idea over in my head and decide that it will give me another opportunity to avoid Edward.
"Sure. Same time and place?

"That sounds perfect."

I smile and curtsy. "See you tomorrow Sir Black."

As I begin to walk away, he blocks me. A little taken back, I meet his eyes. He takes a step toward me, making only centimeters of space between us. He is so close I fear he will hear my rapidly beating heart. He leans toward my face a puts his mouth next to my ear. " By the way, call me Jacob. Sir Black is much too formal."

Sir Black.. Er.. Jacob, then proceeds to turn and walk away as if he doesn't realize what he has just done to me. My heart is still fluttering in my chest when I finally begin to walk home.

Edward jumps up from the kitchen table at my arrival home. He walks over to me and smiles. " Welcome home my dear. How was your day."

I take a step toward the bedroom to create some more distance between us. "Today was good I guess, the day outside was beautiful."

I fake a smile and turn to walk to my bedroom. Finally sitting on my bed, I realize that I feel kind of... lonely. But when I am with Jacob I feel whole, like where ever I was with him was where I should and needed to be. I guess I never realized it, but when I am with Edward, it doesn't feel right to me.

I shake my head to myself and let out an exasperated sigh. You've know him for two days. This feeling isn't real. I get up and walk to bed room window, The moon was mid- sky and I didn't realize how late it had actually gotten. I rip off my dress and quickly slip off my silky night gown. I crawl into bed and I can't help but think about Jacob. I try to shake him from my mind, but it's like he;s stuck there. I prop myself up on my elbow and wish I could shake this lonely feeling.

I feel Edward slip into bed next to me. "Bella."

I turn my body toward him. "Bella, I miss you."

"I miss you too." I say although I'm lying to myself and him.

Even in the dark I can see his face light up. " I truly am sorry for my temper.. but I think we need to make up."

"I was thinking about that too." I say, again lying.

He lights up even more and I begin to feel his hand on my thigh. I want to tell him to stop, but I keep my mouth shut, hoping this will help my loneliness. His hand traces into my inner thigh and quickly finds its way to my most sensitive place. My body constricts with pleasure as his fingers move inside me. In the heat of the moment, he moves himself over me ans I let him take off my nightgown. I pull his shirt off and feel down his body, noticing that his pants were already off.

He moves his hand away from me and I moan as his erection touches my clit. My whole body wants this and him. I open my eyes and see Jacob leaning so close to my body. I blink and Edward's fcae returns before me.

"Wait." I push Edward off me, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, but not tonight. Okay?"

I hear him sigh. "How much longer will you make me wait to have you?"

I Ignore his question and roll on my side. I curse my mind for thinking of Jacob while I was with Edward. I try to shake him off, but that feeling of having Jacob so close to me, was hard to forget. After about an hour I realize that sleep is not coming for a while, so I get out of bed and slip my nightgown back over my head. As I walk out of the bedroom, I again realize that I had forgotten about eating.

I make my way to the kitchen. The silver moon illuminates the room and I see Edward has left a plate of food on the table for me, probably hoping I would sit and eat with him. The food was cold, but it didn't really matter to me. Edward had made beef and mashed potatoes. I silently thank him for going through all the effort to prepare this dinner. Making things like beef took nearly all day.

I got up to put my plate in the sink. My mind still on Jacob, I thought about him not having a hope mark. All of a sudden, my mind makes a connection. In shock, my plate slips from my grip and crashes to the floor breaking. I knew why Jacob Black's name sounded so familiar.
