Chapter 5 Swimming

BELLA's POV

"YIKES! It's freezing!"

"Oh come on, it's refreshing!"

"For you maybe. I'm not sure about this anymore."

"C'mon Bells, just hold on to me and you'll stay warm." I drove to La Push early, already wearing my bikini underneath khaki shorts and a rather large T-shirt. Jacob had called me to tell me he had a surprise for me and I would need a bathing suit. Unfortunately, before..Alice left she not only bought me four bikinis, but she shredded both my black and red one pieces to bits so I couldn't wear them. I had forgotten about that until now. I chose the most simple, a solid navy blue halter and the matching bottoms. I couldn't help but becoming embarrassed when I thought that I would be revealing more skin then I ever had in front of Jacob. Now, standing in the frigid waters of Second Beach, I was as nervous as ever.

"Trust me, I won't let you freeze," Jacob said walking out of the water and brushing his hands up and down my arms. I couldn't deny that instantly I was heating up.

"Ok, hold on," I finally agreed marching out of the water to take off the remainder of my covering. I already took off my shorts, but my shirt was so long that I had still been completely covered. I pulled the shirt over my head and tossed it beside my shorts on a large piece of bleached driftwood. Of course, I missed and it ended up in the sand and stones. I walked back to the water with my arms folded tightly over my stomach feeling very self conscious. Jacob was staring with an odd expression. I began to blush. "Are we going, then?" I asked trying to sound casual. Jacob took my hands and lifted them from my stomach.

"Geez Bells, you're hot!" I rolled my eyes but blushed furiously. "I mean you've always been hot but like this! I never pegged you as a bikini girl."

"I'm not. It was…,"I caught myself," one of my friends kinda forced them on to me." The Cullen's were always a touchy subject to both of us.

"I should thank this friend."

"Mmm. We should go."

"Alright come on beautiful." Jacob grabbed my hand and we both waded into the polar water. I found that the area around him was becoming warmer, I stayed close. When the water reached my shoulders he told me to get onto his back. He was so warm, I obliged quickly. He began to agilely swim out towards four huge rocks that jut out of the ocean about a mile away. As we got closer I realized how large they were. Like lone cliffs poking out of the ocean. He chose one of the middle rocks and swam around it. On the other side was a miniature beach carved from the stone after the constant pounding waters. It was only about thirty feet wide and twenty feet deep. The perfect size for two people to have their own secret hideaway.

"This is amazing."

"You like it?"

"I love it! How did you know this was here?"

"Just decided to go exploring one day." He pulled me up onto the miniature shore and pulled me into a tight embrace. "I want this to be the first of many relaxing, stress free days. No more Vampires." I smiled as I reached up on tip toes for his full lips. He obliged lifting me off my feet. His tongue slid into my mouth briefly. After a minute he set me down.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," he panted. "I had more planned." He walked over to a corner where a basket I hadn't noticed was sitting. He opened it and shook out a huge blanket, followed by containers of food.

"I'm not going to lie, a lot of this stuff Emily sent over, but I did make dessert."

"Really? Well what is it?" He lifted up the lid to a larger round container, revealing a chocolate cake. It was badly iced and it looked like he tried to hide a missing chunk with icing, probably Quil or Paul stealing a piece.

"It's kinda ugly but it'll taste good." He looked a little embarrassed. I smiled and leaned up to kiss him again.

"This is perfect, thank you." I rested my head on his shoulder, more content than I had been in a really long time. Unfortunately for me, in a few hours time, everything would change. Everything was about to get really difficult. Again. I should've known.
