"Hey Kristy, Lauren, Ashley, Kelsey… and I don't think I know your name?" I pointed to a tall, skinny girl who has strawberry blonde hair, light freckles across her nose and face and the prettiest blue eyes ever.

"Oh, hey, I'm Rachel. I moved about a year ago to here. I've seen you and your boyfriend around school. Jack? Is that his name?" Rachel said.

I walked over to where they were standing by the mall's entrance.

"No, it's Jake. We've been dating since"-

"Since they were 14! Isn't that sweet Rachel?!" Lauren screamed to her.

I blushed.

"Wow, that's just, wow. I don't think I've met anyone with that much of a commitment to someone." I smiled at Rachel.

I knew how good Jake was to me. He never lied to me, never cheated, and never disrespected me.

"Yeah, he's a keeper." I agreed with Rachel.

"Well, c'mon the stores won't be open all night!" Kristy led the way for us to Hollister.

I think we were looking for their bikinis, totes and flip flops.

I had no idea why flip flops, it was February!

"OMG! Bella this would look so hot on you!" Kelsey ran over to me and showed me this string, fire red two pieces.

It had strings that held the bottoms together, and two ties for the top. And it was a triangular looking top piece.

"Wow! That is cute!"

"I bet Jake would love to see her in that!" Kristy wiggled her eyebrows.

"Stop it. Jake would never say something like that! He's not like that!" I defended!

Rachel and Lauren laughed at the joke.

"I'm going to try this on." I walked into the fitting rooms.

"I bet they've never even had sex yet! He probably is getting some from one of the school's hoes!" I heard Lauren whispering to Kelsey.

My jaw dropped and the bathing suit fell to the ground.

I couldn't believe she just said that!

Everyone started to burst out laughing! My 'friends' weren't friends.

"STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT THERE!"

I walked straight up to Lauren.

"What? Can't take a joke Bella?" Lauren snickered.

"That was NOT a joke. And what I and Jake do is no one's business! Why would YOU care what we do? It's nothing your involved in. And I'm not about to knock you out in an overpriced, loud music playing store, because unlike you, I have class. I'm buying this, and that cute navy blue tote on the wall back there and I'm leaving."

I took my things, bought the swim suit and left.

Tears started rolling down my eyes.

I was HURT. No one had ever said such a thing to me.

"Bella! Wait!" I heard Kristy calling me.

"What? More jokes?"

"No, I'm sorry I laughed, it was wrong. But I don't want this to ruin our friendship. I still want you to come to the party. And I'm kicking Lauren out. That was hurtful, and not necessary."

"Thanks, but you don't have to do that because of that."

"No, truth be told, I don't like Lauren. But everyone else does and they don't seem to get it."

"I know what you mean."

I wiped my right eyes and turned around.

"Parker Way."

"What?" I asked dazzed.

"The party. It's on Parker way. Tomorrow. 12 pm. Don't be late bitch!"

I laughed.

"Ohkay."

I packed my things up in my SUV and sped off.

"Dad? Are you still up?"

I looked at the clock. It was only 5 past 9.

"Bells. I'm in here."

I walked into the living room.

"Hey."

"So, what did you buy for me?"

"Um, a red bathing suit, a navy blue tote and flip flops."

"Flip flops? In this weather?" Charlie asked.

"I think the pool is inside. But it's on Parker Way."

"Oh, that fancy, pantsy hotel is there. Um what's it called, Hilly? No. Billy? No…." Charlie stampered.

"Hilton Hotel and Casino."

"YES! That's it."

"Hey, you're still up!"

"Barely. I think I'm going to bed now. But I didn't want to till I knew you were home safe."

"Thanks dad. I love you."

"Love you too Bells. Night"

I went to my room to pack a bag for sleeping at Jake's house.

I thought about what Lauren had said. She was right, we didn't have sex.

But then again, Jake never wanted to go any further, and my theory was, if he respects me enough to not push me into things I don't want to do, why push him?

I packed, underwear, a pair of my favorite gray sweatpants, one of Jake's shirts that he had left here, and socks.

Oh, and cheeky underwear, it was blue with thin green stripes and a little pink bow in the front.

I loved it. It was just so comfy.

I opened up my window and slipped the tote bag on my shoulder.

I was lucky to have a tree next to my room's window.

I climbed down safely and was on my way to Jake's.

(*&%- I was going to end the chapter here, but I thought that it was too short and had sooo much I wanted to write-%&*)

I arrived to Jake's house.

It was a typical sized house and a white trim with yellow on the outside.

I always thought it was cute, and beachy.

I slammed my car's door as I slid out.

I had known Billy and Jake for so long that I had a key to get in.

"Billy? Jake. It's me, Bella!" I said.

"Hey! Bella! Jake's in his room. Has been all night, don't know what is with the kid, but hey, I'm just ole' dad." I laughed as I walked to Jake's door.

"Jake? It's me." I knocked softly.

When I heard a booming answer I knew he was still awake.

I saw him lying on his back on his big, comfy bed staring at the T.V

"What are watching!"

'Just some shows. I think there's a dancing contest on, and I've been watching a soccer game off and on,"

I ran over to where he has been lying and sat on his lap facing him.

I filled the gap between our lips and kissed him deeply.

I was so comfortable that I started to cry.

I felt warm tears down my cheeks.

"Bella! Babe, what's wrong?!" Jake sounded so worried and concerned.

"L..Luaren, and,and the girls. They, we were in Hollister and," I sobbed.

"I can't understand you Bells. What happened!?" I could tell he was about to melt with worry in his eyes.

I looked up to his deep black eyes that always had a twinkle to them.

"Lauren tried making a joke about.. about you not getting 'any' from me. And that you were probably getting so much more from a hoe and I yelled at her and started crying." I knew he wanted to just kill her.

"She what!!" He boomed.

"Bella, I love you. You know that. I show it to you everyday, every second I'm with you. Please tell me you killed the girl!"

I giggled. But then realized he was serious. He really did care about my feelings. He really didn't like seeing me cry.

"No. I screamed at her and paid for my things and left. That's why I'm home early."

"Well, trust me. When we go to school on Monday I'm going to threaten her and make sure she never has the balls to talk to you like that EVER again." Jake kissed my temple, then went down to my cheeks and finally my lips.

"I love,you." I said to him.

"I love you, too."

I looked down at his shirt and saw that I had ruined it with my tears.

"I think I ruined your shirt."

"It's ohkay, I have you in my arms, but I wished you weren't crying."

"I think I'm going to leave from here to the party. It's at the Hilton hotel. And plus I brought my bikini and everything."

"That's fine with me. As long as you stay tonight and never leave my arms." Jake whispered in my ears.

"I need to change."

I got off his lap and let go of his monstrous hand and walked over to my tote bag.

"Jake, I'm missing a lot of my clothing. I can't find my.."

"Your brown tank top, little white socks, bras?" He stated.

"Hehe, did I leave them here?" I asked innocently.

"Yeah. And be glad that my dad NEVER steps foot in here, he would get the wrong idea."

"I am. And besides, like he doesn't know about how I feel."

Jake looked down. I knew I said something too soon.

I quickly changed out of my faded dark wash jeans and slipped into my cheeky underwear.

I slid my top off over my head and found one of Jake's shirts.

"Um, Jake?"

He looked up and his eyes got big! He looked up to me.

"Bells, if this is your way of seducing me, stop. Because it's working!"

"It's not. I um need my bra clasp to be unhooked."

"Oh. Come over here."

I walked over to him and sat in front of him cross-legged.

He gently pushed my brown locks out of the way and softly did the bra un done.

I slid the straps off and pulled his shirt over my head.

Jake had seen me many times naked. It was nothing new to him.

But he was still a man and I knew it killed him when I did this to him because it made him want ME more.

"Bells." He cooed.

He started calling me that the summer after we dated.

He used it when he was gentle and in a loving mood.

He lightly touched my shin with his left hand and had me face him.

"I'm sorry if my words sounded harsh. I didn't mean for them to sound that way." He looked so hurt.

"I know what you meant." I said flatly.

He leaned forward and tangled his hands in my hair and kissed me.

His tongue glided over my bottom lip wanting in.

I allowed him.

And I deepened it wanting his tongue to explore every inch of my mouth.

I pulled away panting for air. I couldn't breathe.

"I love, you Jacob."

"I love you more." He crushed me into his hot chest and I felt safe and secure.

This was MY Jacob. My one and only.

He turned off the T.V and shut off the lights.

I knew I was out. I heard him taking off his jeans and leaving on his t-shirt and boxers.

I could feel him coming under the covers and pulling up the quilt to keep me warm.

How could he? He was my personal radiator.

"Ja-ke…." I said alarmed making sure he was still with me.

"I'm right here Bella."

His hand found mine and they wrapped around each other.

I scooted up closer to him until my legs were around his and my head rested on his shoulder.

I closed my eyes again and fell into a deep, sleep.

I heard Jake quietly hum my favorite lullaby song my mother used to sing to me and I felt his lips search for mine.

I reached up to his face and kissed him letting him know he found me.

"Night, Jake."

"Good night Bells."

I smiled at him saying my special name.
