Continuation of Chapter 2:
Once I got to Jakes I quickly proceeded to knock on his small black door. It opened at the second knock to a very tired and anxious Jacob standing behind it. Oh no. I thought. "Bella I need to talk to you." He said.
"Okay, where?" I said trying to keep the fear out of my voice.
"Let's go to the beach." He said and led me out of the house and on the narrow path to First Beach.
We had taken off our shoes about five minutes into walking on the sand. Not wanting to waste perfectly good warmth that was radiating off the soft gravel of the sand. Right now we were walking hand in hand across the sand me waiting jittery about what was to come and Jacob just as equally jittery.
"Bella?" Jacob said from beside me. I looked up to see anxiety in his face. Oh no this must be bad.
"What's wrong Jake?" I asked cautiously.
"I need to talk to you about something… come here." He led me over to where we first met under our tree where a new white bench was sitting just big enough for both of us. He pulled me down beside him. "Bella" He said after a few moments silence. I didn't look at him or answer him because I just knew that he must be leaving that's why he wanted to come here and if I looked into his big black eyes I would just start crying." Bella" He said again this time more firmly. Now I had to look at him and when I did I just started to bawl. He looked astonished and scared of my reaction. He quickly pulled me into his muscular (may I say!) chest and started rocking me and "shhing" me which only made me cry harder. I stopped after a few moments and finally looked into his eyes.
"Just say it Jake I can take it." I lied. "Okay" he said shakily." Then he did something I would have never guessed he'd do in a hundred years! He got down on one knee and took a diamond ring out of his pocket!!
"Okay Bella I just want you to know I love you and I would never ever do anything to hurt you. I will stay by your side your whole life and one day no matter how long I have to wait I want you to be Mrs. Isabella Marie Black .If you'll take me." He said. I couldn't even speak one single syllable after he said that. All I could do was try and shut my gapping mouth and make sense of what he just said. Did he really say he wants to marry me!! Whoa!!
"Bella, please say something." I looked at his face the wide black eyes, angular features, beautiful russet colored skin, tall muscular body hiding beneath his clothes and my favorite feature his wide full lips that could turn up into a smile at a second's notice. And I decided in that moment that I was in deep for Jacob because I was in love. And it didn't matter about Edward anymore I mean he wasn't coming back. So it didn't matter if I might still be in love with Edward but he was never coming back and that was something I would have to live with. And I did love Jacob maybe not as much as I loved Edward but still really close to that now.
"Yes Jacob." I said and leaned in to kiss him passionately on the lips.
