Um, I know you guys hate Jacob. You'll see it's not all his fault. Jacob isn't too terrible, he's just not romantically right for Bella. I hope you guys like this chapter, it's kind of lengthy but its sets the stage.


Chapter six
Your Warmth Feels Amazing

We had arrived to a large hotel in Seattle, Alice took bags out of the backseat that she had packed for this weekend and we walked in. The lobby was beautiful, and vast, it looked formal as if you could hold a ball in it. People stood around and men gawked at Alice. Even the man who checked us in was wooed. Our reservation was for three patrons but she got him to knock it down for two and extend it until Tuesday. I wasn't sure I would stay that long, but even though all of me longed for Edward I didn't much want to go home right away either. At any rate, I'm sure the man would have allowed her to forgo payment with how she was able to manipulate him.

"You ready dear?"

He smiled widely at that, as if he thought we were together.

"Yea, I guess. I just want to go home, home to Charlie…no to Jacob…no. I hate him, yet it's my fault entirely."

"Bella, it's okay. We'll talk when we get to the room."

I was sure it wasn't. Edward was probably thinking about calling off the entire thing. Why was he so mad? He wasn't mad the night that we were on the mountain and I had asked Jacob to kiss me.

Alice picked up the bags and I dragged my suitcase. Our room was on the sixth and top floor, number 615. I hated elevators; they always made me feel uneasy especially the kind like this one, where I'm virtually forced to looked down as I'm pushed up. The glass all around was crystal clear, as if to aid my easiness's demise. The people's heads looked like tiny dots on the way up, smaller and smaller once we reached the sixth floor.

We walked around a few hallways reading numbers that became closer to 615.

Alice and I were at our room, I had now forgotten elevator ride and the walk there, and my mind was occupied by just my thoughts. Alice swiped the room key and we were in.

"Just sit down, okay? I-I saw this coming the night you went down to La Push. I can see decisions you make but not why and not who."

I nodded, at a loss for words.

"I was in the living room, during a vision, watching a movie with Edward and Jasper. Almost as soon as it started I began to block my own thoughts but Edward read some of them. He didn't know how to take it until that dream.

I saw that you made the decision to keep going for a split second and I blocked it out, later seeing that you stopped. It didn't help that your pants had fallen off, Edward saw that too. He thought that you hadn't done anything and was going along as normal, I'm sure you noticed. But then you had that dream saying Jacob was amazing.

I tried to talk to him about it this morning before you woke up. I thought I had convinced him, but he didn't believe me because he knew I had your interests at heart in blocking my thoughts after that decision you briefly made."

I sobbed, Edward thought I had cheated. Edward hated me. He thought I had sex with Jacob, the thought suddenly repulsed me. Alice was instantly at my side, I was used to her comfort now. She wrapped her arms around me and I forcefully hugged her, buried my head in her tiny shoulder and sobbed.

"Bella, he'll take you back."

I should have taken comfort in this but it hurt that for even a while he didn't want me in his arms.

"I'm n-not his right now?"

"I didn't mean it like that."

I didn't care to hear more, I just wanted Edward. I wanted him to be the one whose body I was wrapped in.

"I just want him here now…"

"Dear, that won't happen. Bella you don't quite understand how we are about our mates. Even before I had sex with Jasper there was this feeling between us, it's indescribable. You only feel it if you're a vampire. That person is yours, it's a strong connection. You're territorial, and possessive.

If Jasper were to decide to go farther than kissing another female it would have torn me apart and even more so now. Edward thinks you may have mated or come close to it with Jacob. He's torn up by it, and doesn't know what to do now."

I could tell she had just seen that, the indecisiveness as he switched from one decision to another. My mind began pacing, then running, and finally exhausting itself all in a matter of seconds upon realizing what she had meant. I denied it, and then I thought about it, and knew it was true.

I wanted to slip out of consciousness, I wanted to hurt myself. I began feeling weak as I ran to the restroom and stuck my head in the toilet. I violently threw up as if to purge the idea of being with out him from my system.

"Bella, dear?"

"Sorry Alice."

"It's fine, don't worry about it. I have no idea when he'll decide. He hasn't made the decision. I feel so useless."

I thought Alice was about to cry, she didn't like the uncertainty of my future or hers. I wanted to rip something, to tear something apart, to hurt something, anything to make this pain ease. If he left again, I didn't know what I would do. I sat and thought on the bed across from Alice. She came over and wrapped herself around me; Alice was so touchy-feely. It was comforting but not Edward.

Edward consumed my thoughts now. Now that I knew I couldn't be certain about what he was going to decide. I hoped that he would stay with me; I hadn't done anything except kiss Jacob and I had done that before.

"Alice, if I talked to him would he believe me?"

"I'm not sure, he hasn't made up his mind and nor have you."

I realized how indecisive I was; I contemplated it which brought back the vision of him hard as a statue and unmoving, just full of hatred. However I couldn't lose him, if I was going to lose him I wouldn't do it conceding to the inevitable I would be fighting on the way down.

"I'm going to talk to him about it, even if he won't listen."

Alice thought and there was a long pause.

"Bella, I want to tell you that it will work, but the truth is I don't know. I'm starting to think, err see that it may not work."

I cried harder and the urge to throw up crept upon me again.

"Dear I don't mean forever, he'll eventually forgive you." That was it, all it took; the tears began trickling down. Eventual forgiveness was not something I could manage. "You can stay with me until he does. Edward will see you aren't going anywhere and come to cope with the fact you are telling the truth."

Alice threw her arms around me; I was so weak I fell backward under her strength. I was comfortable, she was my best friend and so incredibly light.

"Bella, look I'm not letting you hurt yourself. I know the thought has crossed your mind. He'll come around or I'll change you before the wedding and then he'll come back."

She sighed.

"I miss Jasper."

"Why is that?"

"He leaves today for a week up in Denali. And he was mad at me this whole week…"

"What happened?"

I was suddenly concerned about her life, it sure made for a distraction, but I didn't want anything to upset Alice, she's too upbeat and happy.

"Well we fight a lot, I love him dearly and he is my soul mate, but things get rough. He had such a warm feel, even though he is stone cold. He hasn't been coming to bed all week. I miss him."

"I thought Vampires didn't sleep?"

I was confused; Jasper not coming to bed shouldn't be a big deal. Wait. I blushed, I had just opened up and invitation to hear about Alice's sex life with Jasper. I definitely was curious though, about what Vampires really do at night.

"We don't silly Bella," she stroked my cheek in true seductress style as if to emphasize her up and coming point, "Silly, silly Bella," she purred, and it was slightly starting to creep me out.

"You have sex at night?"

I blushed, a deep crimson red under the tear stains on my cheeks.

"Bingo, but it's a lot different, it is mu-u-u-uch more dr-a-a-a-wn out," she emphasized the right words reclaiming her dominance on top of me, "You see we seduce each other simply.

One night I may purr in his ear and say something. It's all about finding and exploiting the weakness of each other. That night I'll have him under my control and he'll follow my cue. The next night he may begin with tickling me to trying and find a new weakness and maybe it'll work, if not I'll put him under my control."

She breathed heavily on me, a cooling sensation swept over me and she gently rolled off.

"Sorry Bella. That was, out of line, but it's actually a semblance of how it works. Sometimes it is gentle and we'll just begin after lying in bed." She paused for a second, eyeing me carefully. She was evaluating how I would take all this. "Your warmth feels amazing, actually," she cuddled next to me and pulled me in, "I'm not hurting or bothering you, am I?"

"No, it's fine. It kind of reminds me Edward, I miss him too. He felt amazing when he would just lay next to me like…," she curled, holding me delicately and a chill raced through me, as if it were just that her stone body is cold, "t-that."

Tears sled down my cheeks, and I was getting colder. I missed his touch much more, even though Alice's felt only similar just more delicate and feminine. I couldn't get my mind beyond my longing for Edward, my longing for his touch. I wanted him to forgive me and tell me it'll all be okay, but I wanted him to first believe me, at least let me tell him the truth.

AN: Interesting. It is slightly OOC, but Alice looses a little control because Bella smells so good and also because she misses Jasper.
