Big thanks to Nathalie Cullen13, because I now changed the title to your suggestion!! Thank you to everyone else who suggested something as well.

I've been suffering from a bit of writers block, so if this chapter sucks, I'm sorry.

Also, I hope everyone had/is having a happy holiday(s)!!

AWAKE

"Bella, Bella, can you hear me?" I heard a musical voice say from the darkness.

My eyes slowly opened to see Edward's beautiful face, just inches from mine. I smiled, and attempted to grab his neck to pull him in for a kiss. Instead, he just lifted me up into a sitting position. I frowned. Why is he doing this? We just shared a very nice kiss just a couple minutes ago. Then I remembered the company that we were keeping. Jacob. Right. So I see Edward is not a fan of the PDA? I suppose I can get over that. In time.

I turned me head around until I saw Jacob. He looked absolutely livid. I remembered how he and his tribe or whatever didn't like Edward and his family just because they're vampires. I felt my defense mechanisms kicking in for Edward. No way is stupid Jacob gonna bother my man! My eyes narrowed.

"Jacob, go away," I ordered.

"No way! He isn't allowed here! It's against the treaty rules!" Jacob shrieked.

"You sound like a girl, you freak. Why don't you just shut up, and give us some peace. We'll be leaving now." I attempted to get up with dignity, but that didn't work too well. My legs shook, and I was about to fall flat on my face when I a strong pair of arms caught me. I turned around, and it was Jacob. I wrinkled my nose and slapped his arms away.

"Well, forgive me for trying to be helpful," he shot at me.

"Sorry, but I believe forgiveness is for those too weak to get revenge," I said with faux sweetness.

At this point I noticed the long-silent Edward. He was standing with his arms crossed and jaw clenched. He looked as if he was having an internal battle. If that expression were on anyone elses face, I would think that they look constipated, but on Edward it just looked sexy.

"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked. I truly was worried about him. Was this going to turn out into an all out war? That would be pretty cool, but then Edward might get hurt. Wait, who am I kidding? In an Edward-Jacob showdown, the winner is obvious. Perfection Personified Vampire versus Annoying As Hell Weakling Human . Not very difficult to determine.

Edward gave me a small smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Yes. Superb."

I gave him a doubtful look. He sighed. "Fine. I just feel stupid for coming here. I knew it was against the rules. I just really wanted to see you…" His voice trailed off.

I had to bite my lip to keep the huge, embarrassingly goofy grin off of my face. "It's alright. All's fair in love and war, right?"

"Excuse me, LOVE?" Jacob cut in. "What's going on here?"

"Yes, Little One. Maybe it's too much for your sixteen year-old brain to process, but Edward and I are in love," I announced haughtily. Just saying it outloud made my heart flutter. Which it has never done before, so that has to mean something.

"Just earlier tonight weren't you talking about how much you wanted to hook up with him? And now you're suddenly in love?! Didn't this happen a little fast?" Jacob challenged.

I glared at Jacob. "I was in love with him then. I just didn't know if he had the same feelings towards me. And now that I know that he does, we are officially a couple. And in love. So there." I glanced at Edward to see what his reaction was to everything. He looked kind of bewildered. "Edward? Something you'd like to add?"

He continued looking at me all confusedly. "You wanted to hook up with me?"

Oh. So that's what was bothering him. "Well, yeah. I love you. And you're pretty much the hottest guy that I've ever seen. And that's saying something."

"Is that how you express your affections? Making out? Sex?" Edward seemed kinda ticked off. Why is he finding it so difficult to believe that I'd want to hook up with him? Anyone to that degree of hotness has to know that they look good. It's impossible not to. I mean, I know about how gorgeous I am, right? So I'm sure Edward does too about himself.

"Well, partially. What do you expect? With love comes kissing," I replied. I decided not to address the sex part right then and there. I mean, we sort of had an audience of an obviously sexually deprived boy. We didn't have to make him too jealous.

"I just thought that…oh, never mind," Edward said, while closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Tell me what you were going to say. I hate it when people say never mind, because it means that they're keeping something from me. I'd rather hear it from you now than from along the grape vine later."

Edward gave me a long look. "I just thought that I meant more to you, is all." He looked down abashedly.

The way he delivered that line was totally heartbreaking. He could make millions as an actor, seeing as it totally worked on me. Plust his fantastic looks. I felt awful. I slowly approached Edward. I put my hands under his chin and cupped it up so that he would look at me directly in the eye. Once his expressionate eyes reached mine, I said, "Of course you do, Edward. It's just…" I struggled to find words.

"Continue," Edward said, with a look of complete attention. I knew that what I said, he would take to heart.

"It's just that, I thought that the only way that you would ever like me at all would be because of my amazing kissing ability," I blurted out quickly and unlocked my eyes from his. But I knew that Edward had caught every word.

"Is that what you thought?" Edward asked in a soft voice.

"Of course that's what I thought. Did I not just say that?" Redundance really irks me.

Edward gave me a small smile. "Yeah, I guess you did."

There was a moment. "Care to respond?" I asked dryly.

"Oh, right. Well, Bella, as I am virtually positive that you already know, that is most definetly not the reason that I love you. But it sure helps." He gave me a crooked smile that almost took my breath away. I'm sure it would have if I had not been prepared for something of the sorts after his preivious comment.

"Um, hate to ruin the moment guys, but you aren't allowed to be here, bloodsucker," Jacob said hostily.

"God, Jacob. 'Hate to ruin the moment', yet you still do. With that kind of tact it's no wonder that you've never had a girlfriend!" I shouted. Could the child be any more obnoxious?

"I understand that I am not allowed to be here, and for that I am truly sorry. But if you would just allow Bella and I to leave, with the promise that I or any other of my family members will never return, is there any chance that you would just let this slide?" Edward asked, very persuasively, might I add. Oh, if only Jacob were a girl! Or gay. Either way, he would've been putty in Edward's sexy, strong hands.

"I'll consider it," Jacob said carefully. It was definitely better that what I expected him to say. "But what's in it for me?" Ah, there's the Jacob I came to know tonight.

"I'm sure we can find a way to make it up to you," I said suggestively, while licking my lips.

Jacob's eyes glazed over, and Edward's eyes were blazing. Woops, forgot about the boyfriend for a second there. "Yes, Jacob. Is there anything we can do?" Edward asked tersely.

Jacob snapped out of his stupor, and his face became one of concentration. He grinned deviously. "Yeah. I get to make out with Bella for ten minutes straight. Then I can just pretend that this whole thing never happened," Jacob said. "Except for the kiss, of course," he added.

Edward looked at me. I thought his jaw might break from being so tightly clenched. He looked back at Jacob. "Isn't there anything else we could do?" Edward's typically cool voice had clear despiration shining through.

Jacob still had that smart-ass look on his face. "Nope. Not one thing. Unless Bella would have sex with me? I could go for that one, too."

"In your wet dreams, loser," I said. Edward covered his laugh with a cough, but not very artfully.

Jacob's cheeks darkened (his version of a blush, I assume), and mumbled, "The kiss is your only option."

Edward turned to me. "Bella? I won't make you do anything that you don't feel comfortable doing, especially since it is not your fault that this situation has occurred. But if you would just do this vile, repulsive thing for me, it would really fix a lot of issues." I looked at Edward and saw that he really did need me to do this. I tried not to groan.

"It's okay, Edward. I'll do it." I let the clear disgust seep through in my voice.

"Oh, and one more condition," Jacob said, the condescending look reappearing on his face. "Edward has to watch."

Woah, the boy deserves way more credit. He truly had a sick mind.

This could be potentially amusing.

I looked over at Edward's now fuming face. "Edward? What say you?"

Edward closed his eyes for a moment, and said "Whatever it takes. But try anything other than kissing, Jacob, and you'll be lucky to leave this area with all of your limbs."

I could tell that he tried to hide it, but Jacob was afraid of Edward. I laughed coldly.

"Alright, Jacob, let's get to it. But can I ask you something first?" I asked innocently.

He hesitated. "Sure. Shoot."

"Have you ever kissed a girl before?" I asked, a smug smile on my face.

"Er," Jacob's cheeks darkened again.

I giggled. "Aww, that's so cute! You reminded me earlier tonight of a ten year old, but I guess I didn't know how right I was until now!"

"Let's just do this thing," Jacob said, the heat still in his cheeks. He cupped my face with his abnormally hot hands and put his lips on mine. They moved together pretty nicely, but the kiss had nothing on the one that Edward and I had shared not too long ago.

My eyes didn't close. Instead, they stayed trained on Edward the whole time. He looked frozen. I had a feeling that if he moved just one part of him, he would end up running over here and tearing us apart. I made my eyes as apoligetic as I could while having my mouth on someone other than my boyfriend's mouth. Boyfriend. The word had never sounded so good in my mind.

Five minutes later. I could tell just from looking at Edward that he was keeping count in his head. My eyes hadn't closed so far, and I had no intention to let them to. I vaguely wondered if Jacob was enjoying himself. Hell, who am I kidding? The kid's a kissing virgin while I am a master. Of course he's enjoying himself!

The kiss seemed to go on for ten hours, but not in a good way. I started out just wanting it to end, and ended it the same way.

"Times up!" Edward shouted.

Jacob kept on kissing. I tried to push him away, but he just responded by hooking his fingers through my hair and pulling me closer. In a second, Edward was holding Jacob up by his neck and didn't look like he had any intention of letting go.

Maybe agreeing to kissing Jacob wasn't such a good idea after all.

End of this chapter. Sorry if Edward and Jacob are completely OOC…Five reviews. It's not too much to ask. Please. It is my belated holiday wish. Just five reviews! Also, I saw that most people wanted me to write a boarding school story. I don't know when I'll get around to starting it, but I'll try to write one.
