Chapter 9 - The Date
ALL THE CLOTHES ARE ON MY PAGE!
Disclaimer: No I don't own Edward Cullen (I wish) or anything else that the all powerful Stephanie Meyer has created. However, I do happen to own a yellow duck named "Duckie" and I talk to it. Yeah I know, I'm a freak.

Let's just say, I wouldn't look half as good as I did if it wasn't for Rosalie and Alice. After 3 hours of torturous shopping and 2 hours of eye-brow plucking and make-up, I looked fantastic. My hair was down, long and wavy thanks to Rose and while Alice did my make-up. I had light brown eye shadow and a pale pink lip gloss on. My eyeliner popped out the most, it wasn't the usual black smoky eyes, it was a dark brown liner that went perfect with the brown eye shadow. Overall, they aimed for a natural look. They picked out a pair of light tan shorts for me, they covered everything, but they clung to all the right spots. They also made my butt, stick out a little more, which was a bonus. Alice and rose dragged me into Victoria's Secret, only for us to find a brown spaghetti strapped tank top that clung to my non-existent curves. Finally for my shoes, we found a pair of strappy brown heels. I was amazed about what a fantastic job my friends did with my outfit.
"Thanks guys," I said. I really look amazing tonight. I owe it all to you two." I turned from the mirror and faced my two best friends. "I just hope I don't screw it up tonight with Jacob, or anything." I was actually really nervous about this date. It was, in a way, Jacob and mine's first date. Knowing me, I'd probably end up with spinach in my teeth.
"Please Bella," Rose started. "There is no way on this planet that you could screw up this date. Jacob is lucky to have gotten another shot with you. Anyhow, with you wearing that outfit, he'll be tripping over himself tonight, because he knows he's going to be out with the most gorgeous girl." She gave me a warm, encouraging smile as Alice nodded her head with agreement.
"Exactly Bella, Jacob will be drooling over you. Heck, I'd go lesbian for you if I didn't have Jasper." Alice giggled, as we all broke out in laughter. Alice's face got serious all of the sudden. "Uh, I have to … ya know…" as she made a hand motion toward the toilet.
"OH! Yeah, Alice we'll leave you to it." I said smirking. Rose turned and started to wash her hands. Oh God, the running water made me want to… "ALICE! I HAVE TO GO TOO!"
"No way Bella. I'm going to be in here for a while. Go in Edward's!" She yelled from the other side of the door. Oh yeah thanks Alice. Make me go in your extremely gorgeous cousin's bathroom to pee. You're a great friend! I thought as I grunted and made my way over to Edward's bathroom. The door was open, but I decided to knock anyhow. No one answered so I made my way into the room. I looked at the bathroom door that was shut, but there was no light on. By this time, I was crossing my legs forcing myself not to have a leakage right here in the middle of his bedroom. Fuck it, I thought as I put my hand on the door knob and pushed. The door swung open way too fast, and I looked up and saw Edward with a towel around his waist and his hair messy, with his stunning crooked smile on.
"Hey Bella," he said casually as he leaned over and whispered it in my ear. His whole body was lightly brushing up against mine. I could feel myself blush a crimson color. "Like what you see?" He asked seductively.
I opened my mouth to come back with a witty comeback but all I did was stutter. "I, uh, I - I - I have to pee." Oh my God. I cannot believe I just said that in front of Edward while he was standing in front of me half naked asking me if I liked his body. I am such a freak.
Edward pulled away from me as he chuckled lightly. "I'll leave you to your business then. My bathroom is all yours." He smirked at me as he threw his towel on the ground. "Oops," was all he said. If I looked down, I was going to rape this guys right here and totally ditch Jacob. Jacob I thought, think about Jacob! I was saying over and over to myself as I shut the door to Edwards bathroom, and breathed in his heavenly scent.
After I did my business, I opened the door to find Edward's bedroom completely vacant. Thank God. I attempted to walk down the stairs, one step at a time, and miraculously I didn't fall down. I looked over at the clock and it read: 6:57. I went over and fetched my bag, making sure I had all of my necessities in there. I had my lip gloss, my cell phone, keys and gum. I grabbed the pack of Trident Tropical Twist and took a piece out. I put it in my mouth and started chewing when the door bell rang. I put the gum back into the bag and zipped it up as I heard someone open the door.
"Hey man," I could make out Jacob strong voice. I turned the corner to the hallway to find Edward standing at the door, his figure tense and his jaw tight.
"Hi Jacob." He said shortly. I ran up to Edward and put a hand on his arm. Time for pay back. I leaned up against him and looked up at him through my eyelashes and gave him a slow, sexy smile.
"Thanks Edward. Tell Rose and Alice I shouldn't be home too late from my date with Jacob." Alice and Rose must be rubbing off of me because I used one of my most sexiest voices. Edward looked taken aback, only for a second, and then composed himself.
"No problem, Bella." He said with venom in his voice. I could tell that I had gotten to him. I grabbed the door from him and pulled it to close it.
"Hey Jake!" I said upbeat. "I can't wait for our date tonight," I said as I leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek. But I did this right before the door closed, just so Edward could see it.
Take that, Edward.

I just made my way out of a refreshing shower as I was wondering if Alice and Rose returned with Bella from shopping for her date with Jacob tonight. I was irked that Bella decided to go out with him. I mean, he wasn't that great. He acted like a jackass most of the time so I don't know why all the girls tend to fall for him. I wrapped a towel around my waist and started to turn the doorknob. The door whipped open and I saw Bella standing there taking in my body.
I decided to have some fun with her as I leaned my body towards her, just so we were barely touching. "Hey Bella," I whispered in her ear as I took in the sight of her. She was wearing a tight brown tank top that had a deep neck line, and made her breasts plunge from it. She wore short khaki shorts that fit her magically and brown heels that made her legs look even longer than they originally are. I looked up at her face and God, she was gorgeous. "Like what you see?" I asked quietly. She opened her mouth but no words were formed. Only stuttering.
"I, uh, I - I - I have to pee." She slipped from her mouth.
I chuckled quietly and backed up from her and put my arms out like I was selling the bathroom. "I'll leave you to your business then. My bathroom is all yours." Then, totally by mistake, my towel dropped. I tried to play it cool and all I said was "Oops." Bella turned a crimson shade on her face, it was so beautiful. She tried to not look as she hurried into the bathroom. I threw on a dark blue polo and khaki shorts and headed down the stairs.
Five minutes flew by until I heard Bella slowly walking down the stairs. She turned to the left and headed into the kitchen, and I heard her fiddling with something in there. I was going to go join her when I heard the doorbell ring and decided to answer it. I swung open the huge white door and there stood Jacob.
"Hey man." He said coolly. I stood up straighter than normal and I could feel my whole body tensing at the sight of the jerk.
"Hi Jacob." I let out sharply. Then I felt the warmness of Bella's hand on my arm. She looked up at me through her eyelashes and gave me one of her slow sexy smiles. I wanted to carry her upstairs right then and do things to her that even Emmett and Rosalie would be ashamed of.
"Thanks Edward. Tell Rose and Alice I shouldn't be home too late from my date with Jacob." Bella said in her smooth voice. Damn. I was in a trance only for a second, but I knew Bella saw it.
"No problem Bella." I said sharply. Then she grabbed the door from my hand and held it open for a minute. Just long enough for her to say, "hey Jake, I can't wait for our date tonight." Then she kissed him on the cheek, just to rub it in and closed the door.

Jake wasn't letting me know where we were going for our date and it was starting to annoy me. "Jake, please tell me where we're going? I can't wait that much longer." I begged and gave him my cutest puppy dog eyes.
Jacob started laughing and looked over at me. "Oh no Bella, don't give me the puppy dog eyes. I won't give in. This is strictly a surprise and you won't find out until we get there." He said calmly as he reached over and placed my hand in mine. God, he looked fantastic tonight. He had dark blue jeans with a black t-shirt. The t-shirt stuck to him and showed off his amazing muscles, but it wasn't skin tight. (A/N: If you've ever seen the way Caleb dresses in The Covenant, then you know what I'm talking about. Because that boy is FINE.)
Finally after ten long agonizing minutes, we pulled into a deserted parking lot that was in the middle of the woods. He looked over at me and gave me a warm smile. "We're here." He said. I started to put my hand on the door handle to let myself out when I heard him talk. "No way Bella! I get to open the door for you. It's the rules." I started to laugh as he jogged around the front of the car and opened my door. "There you go."
I smiled as I hopped out of the front seat and placed my hand in his open one. "Okay so know can I know what we're doing?" I asked anxiously. I seriously could not stand the suspense any longer.
"Ha, no way. We're not even there yet." He said as he led me down this path in the woods. I thought he was going to kill me or bury me alive when I saw water. We walked down a little farther and took a right and then went straight again. Finally, we made our way out of the woods and on to a small beach that had a red and white checkered blanket with a picnic basket laying on top of it.
"Aw, Jake! This is too sweet!" I let out.
Jacob turned to me and looked at me with his chocolate brown eyes. "No Bells, this isn't too sweet. I feel really bad about what happened at the party and I want to make it up to you. There's something different about you, because you're not like the other girls. And I've been wanting to ask you out for a while now, but I was scared about what you would say. That's why when I saw you come out of the bathroom and screamed my name and told me what happened, I wanted to kill Mike. I couldn't believe that he could hurt such a beautiful girl." He spoke so softly and full of truth, that I couldn't help myself as my eyes started welling up with tears.
Then I acted on instinct. I flew my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine. Right before our lips touched, I whispered against his skin, "that was the most sweetest, considerate thing anyone has ever said to me." Then I crashed my lips to his. His soft lips were moving with mine, so gently like he didn't want to break me. His arms slithered around my waist and brought me towards him so both of our bodies were pressed up against each other. I pulled away because I couldn't breathe.
"I'm hungry," Jake said as he let out a goofy grin. I laughed and smiled back at him as I nodded my head with agreement.

After our picnic Jake drove me home and walked me up to the Cullen's front door.
"I had a wonderful time tonight, Jacob." I said giving him a sweet smile.
"Me too Bells," he replied. "Hey, there's something that I've been wanting to ask you for a while now…" he said trailing off. His eyes started darting to the left and the right as he shoved his hands into his pockets and shifted from side to side.
"Mhm?" I asked.
"Uh, well, I was wondering, if you would be my girlfriend." He looked up at me with the most hopeful eyes. He was too cute.
I smiled hugely, "Yes, of course I will be your girlfriend."
He let out a huge breath of air as he pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss full of passion. "Ugh, I have to go. I really wish I didn't but my dad gave me a curfew." He said dreading the fact that he had to leave. "I'll call you okay?" he asked and I nodded my head.
He gave me one more kiss and then we said our goodbyes. I bounced into the house and flung my shoes off and I was practically bouncing off the walls as I made my way to bed. I was Jacob Black's girlfriend.

Okay I know how all of you want Bella and Edward to get together but trust me, THEY WILL! It disturbs me to write about Jacob, because I love Edward so much more.
PLEASE REVIEW! I love looking in my mailbox and seeing all your reviews. Especially because they crack me up. But please, no flames! Or I will provoke the volturi and blame you.
