Chapter 2
Jacob
Bella's pov:
Where am I? I looked around at the familiar furniture and felt a warm almost sweltering embrace. Then I remembered. I was at Jacob's house. I disentangled myself from his embrace, trying not to wake him up.
He didn't wake up. He just snored and then rolled over so his back was facing me. I stood up and stretched. As I did something caught my eye.
That something was a huge red stain that stood out lividly on Jake's beige couch cushion. Oh no. This couldn't be happening. I just left a huge period stain on my best friends couch.
Deep breaths Bella, deep breaths. First, I need to get some clean pants. I walked into Jacob's room grateful that Billy had went fishing with Charlie today. I dug in his drawers until I found a comfy pair of black sweats that must have fit Jake when he was ten.
Next I needed to clean off that spot on the couch. I went into the Black's bathroom and looked at their cleaning supplies. I grabbed a bucket and filled it with hot water. Then I added detergent and cleaning fluids. I quickly grabbed a few rags and headed back out to the couch.
Thankfully Jake was still asleep. I got on my knees and began to scrub the cushion quietly. At first the stain did not seem to be coming out. Eventually I began to notice that the stain was a bit lighter than it was at first. This made me scrub with more vigor. 10 minutes later the stain was almost gone but un fortunately it was still very noticeable.
Third I needed some tampons. Crap, I'm sure there are none in this house. I went into the bathroom and looked in every nook and cranny. As I had suspected there were none. I would have to get to town to buy some. Uh-oh. How was I going to do that? I guess I'll just have to figure it out.
Crap, I didn't have time for this. Jake turned over in his sleep and needless to say I panicked. I flipped the cushion over and sat on it just in the nick of time. Jake turned over and yawned widely. Then he opened his eyes.
"Hey Bells," he said.
"Hi Jake," I said nervously.
"Niiiice," he said. I looked down startled expecting to see a stain.
"What?" I asked nonchalantly as if I didn't know what he was talking about.
"You're wearing my old sweats," he replied as I sighed a sigh of relief
"Oh yeah my jeans weren't that comfy. So, I borrowed these. Hope you don't mind," I smiled.
"Of course I don't. Those don't' fit me anymore. I wore them when I was like ten," He chuckled as I rolled my eyes.
"We can't all be super giants, Jake"
"And we can't all be tiny, Bella" he replied.
I turned away from him. He picked me up and turned me back towards him. I hope I don't bleed on him.
"So what do you want to do today?" He asked.
"Uhhhh how about we go in to town?" I asked thinking of the store where I could pick up some tampons.
"Sounds great to me," Jake said.
He went into his room to throw on a pair of pants. He came out ten seconds later in a tight pair of cut off jeans. Of course he had no shirt on.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked.
"Yeah" he said.
"Are you finished dressing?" I asked hinting at him to put a shirt on.
"Yeah," He said not getting where I was going with this.
"Do you ever wear a shirt?" I asked.
"Oh that's what you meant? No, I mean if you got it flaunt it" he chuckled.
"Let's go," I mumbled.
On the ride to town in my truck all I could think of was how was I going to get the tampons. There had to be a way I thought as I looked out of the window.
"Bells, you sure are quiet today. Is something wrong?" he asked concern clouding his face. What was I supposed to say? I'm bleeding and need tampons? I don't think so.
"Nothings wrong. Can't I be quiet when I want to without getting the third degree?" I said harsher than I had meant to. Damned hormones.
"Sure, sure Bells,"
We continued on in silence until we rounded the corner and could see the small shops and houses of La Push. I really needed to get to that small shop and go shopping but how could I ditch Jake?
"Where do you want to go?" Jake asked breaking in on my thoughts.
"How about the shop?" I asked him.
"Why?" he asked curiously.
"Because I need some ingredients. I thought I would make a special dinner tonight when Billy and Charlie get back," I lied quickly.
"Oh okay," he said buying the bait. Now I just needed to ditch him for a few minutes.
We drove up and I parked in the empty lot of the store. As I walked in I noticed two things with dismay. One, all the non-food items were behind the counter and you had to ask for them. And two, the only person working in the store was none other than Quil. One of Jacob's best friends, one of Jacob's male best friends who would probably tell him what I had bought. Ugh, great.
"Is there another store in town?" I asked Jake quietly enough so Quil wouldn't hear.
"No this is it. Why is there something you think they won't have?"
"No, I'm sure they have it." I answered back.
"Hi Jake, Hi Bella" Quil shouted over at us.
"Hey Quil," Jake and I said in unison.
"So what can I do you for?" He asked
"We just need some ingredients," I told him.
He nodded as I scurried about trying to find some ingredients. Jake followed close to me like an obedient puppy to his master. He asked me questions about the herbs in spices as I threw them into the cart.
At last I was finished shopping and by this point I was sure I had another stain in my pants. Maybe I was overreacting I mean it had only been 20 minutes since I fond out I had my period. It seemed like a lot longer. I rolled my cart up to the counter trying to figure out how to ask for the damn tampons.
In the end I chickened out and just bought my items.
"That'll be $24.38," Quil told me with his usual grin.
"Thanks" I said.
"No problem," he replied.
"Bells are you sure there is nothing else you need?" he asked me.
"No of course not, Jake" I replied walking out.
"Well I'll be another minute, then I'll get you back to my house." He said
"Okay," I agreed.
Jacob's pov
I woke up to see Bella sitting on the couch in a pair of sweat pants I had worn when I was ten.
"Hey Bells," I said.
"Hi Jake," she said. Her voice was like an angels when she called my name.
"Niiiice" I commented on the sweat pants. She looked down shocked as if expecting to see something terrible.
"What?" she asked curiously.
"You're wearing my old sweats," I told her to calm her down. I heard her sigh a sigh of relief. I wonder what she thought I was about to say.
"Oh yeah my jeans weren't that comfy. So, I borrowed these. Hope you don't mind," she smiled a smile that made me loose my train of thought for a moment.
"Of course I don't. Those don't' fit me anymore. I wore them when I was like ten," I joked teasing her for her small size.
"We can't all be super giants, Jake" she joked.
"And we can't all be tiny, Bella" I countered.
She turned away from me. I wasn't going to take that. So, I picked her up and sat her on my lap facing me.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked her to get the frown off of her beautiful lips.
"Uhhhh how about we go in to town?" she asked
"Sounds great to me," I said with my trademark grin.
I went into my room to throw on a pair of pants.. On top of my dresser was a neatly pair of folded jeans. I picked them up and shook them out. Those were so not mine. These were girls pants, they must be Bella's. I turned them around to look at the back. There was a huge red blood stain covering the butt of her jeans.
Oh, no wonder she was acting strange. She just got her period. But why didn't she tell me? Oh yeah, I'm a guy and she probably thought I would be embarrassed Poor thing. Well I couldn't bring it up, I didn't want to embarrass her anymore than she already was.
Of course I came out without a shirt on. I mean when you're this ripped you just want to show it.
"Are you ready to go?" She asked me.
"Yeah" I said.
"Are you finished dressing?" she asked. I must admit I was confused.
"Yeah," I said.
"Do you ever wear a shirt?" She asked. Oh, that's what she meant.
"Oh that's what you meant? No, I mean if you got it flaunt it" I teased. But I was right. I did have it.
"Let's go," she mumbled.
On the ride to town in Bella's all I could think of was how beautiful she was.
"Bells, you sure are quiet today. Is something wrong?" I asked trying to get her to admit she was on her period.
"Nothings wrong. Can't I be quiet when I want to without getting the third degree?" she snapped. Wait my Bella snapped. It must have been hormones, she would never have done that otherwise. Would she?
"Sure, sure Bells," I said comfortingly.
We continued on in silence until we rounded the corner and could see the small shops and houses of La Push. Bella look at me nervously. What was she planning? It probably involved ditching me so she could get feminine products.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked intruding on her thoughts.
"How about the shop?" she asked.
"Why?" I probed trying to get her to tell me the truth.
"Because I need some ingredients. I thought I would make a special dinner tonight when Billy and Charlie get back," she was lying. Lying very badly.
"Oh okay," I said pretending to believe what she said. I'm a much better liar than she is.
We drove up and Bella parked in the empty lot. I saw Bella notice where the tampons were. Then she saw Quil and nearly fainted from shock and embarrassment. My poor Bella probably thought Quil would laugh, or make jokes, or even worse tell someone.
"Is there another store in town?" she asked me too quietly for Quil to hear.
"No this is it. Why is there something you think they won't have?" I asked her just to get to her.
"No, I'm sure they have it." she answered back. I'm sure they have it too. In fact I know they do.
"Hi Jake, Hi Bella" Quil shouted over at us.
"Hey Quil," Bella and I said in unison.
"So what can I do you for?" He asked with a smile.
"We just need some ingredients," she told him.
He nodded as Bella scurried around trying to find some ingredients. I followed close behind her like I was a puppy. I didn't want her to ditch me, so I asked her about the herbs and spices she threw into our cart.
At last she was finished shopping. She still looked super nervous glancing down every few seconds, and blushing for no apparent reason. She looked like she was deliberating on saying something, but being true to her character she chickened out and bought all that stuff in her cart.
"That'll be $24.38," Quil told her with his grin already in place.
"Thanks" she mumbled.
"No problem," he replied.
"Bells are you sure there is nothing else you need?" I asked her, hoping that she would own up.
"No of course not, Jake" she replied walking out of the door. What was I about to say. I kind of lost my train of thought for a minute. Oh yeah.
"Well I'll be another minute, then I'll get you back to my house." I said
"Okay," She agreed turning back to look at me one more time before exiting.
I watched her walk to her truck and get in the drivers side door. Damn, I lost my train of thought again.
"Quil, I need some tampons," I told him expecting a ribbing. And, man I got one.
"Awww, that time of the month Jakey" he teased. "Are you bloated? Poor baby."
"Nice one Quil," I said sarcastically. Of course, at this point Embry chose to show up.
"What's going on guys?" Embry asked.
"Jake just came in for some tampons," Quil chortled. Embry burst out laughing too.
"Guys, cut it out" I said blushing from embarrassment. Oh, well it was worth it to make Bella happy. "You know it's not for me."
"Oh yeah then who's it for?" Embry asked.
"Bella," I answered truthfully knowing they would find out anyway.
"Oooh, that's why she was acting all embarrassed and blushing," Quil said smacking himself on the forehead.
"How did you find out," Embry wanted to know.
"I found her jeans in my room." I answered truthfully.
"I bet you kept them and framed them, didn't you Jake?" Quil teased.
I rolled my eyes as he put the tampons in a plastic bag. "Paper," I automatically corrected.
"Sorry," he chuckled making me think he had done it on purpose.
"Oh and I'll also need a pair of size 7 jeans." I told him
"Awww, man you checked the size too. Now I really believe they may be on your wall." He put the jeans in the bag too. I paid him the money and left as Quil and Embry rolled on the floor laughing at my expense.
I got in the passenger side of the truck and held the bag out to Bella.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Something you forgot to get on your way out," was all I told her.
She opened the bag and I saw a look of surprise and relief flash across her face. She pulled out the box of tampons and then the jeans. She simply said "How?"
"Well I found your...... pants in my room," I stammered not wanting to make her upset.
"I knew there was something I was supposed to do." she said and then blushed.
"I knew you were embarrassed and wouldn't say any thing about your period... so when you didn't ask for tampons I did it for you. I also thought you might like some jeans." I finished lamely.
"But doesn't it bother you?" she asked
"Not really. I mean if you remember I have two big sisters. I know about periods. Don't be embarrassed."
"I bet Quil and Embry gave it to you," My angle laughed and her whole face brightened.
"More than you'll ever know," I said as Bella pulled out on the way to my house.
