Just a short little chapter... no one commented on my introduction to Jakey-boi in WF! D: - thats my serious sad face people... :(
Anywho... I simply can't resist posting more! :)
His small grin was almost infectious, now I had to look away.
He tucked a little bit of hair behind my ear, and I felt his hot breath on my neck. I couldn't help but lean slightly towards him, arching my head away, giving him easy access to my neck.
"I can give you all the time you need" came his whisper, and I gentle kiss on my neck which gave me goose bumps.
I stood abruptly, "it was nice seeing you again, Jacob" I said formally, and automatically, my hand rubbing my neck which felt scorched and very, very noticeable.
He smirked, "and you, Bella. May I call you?"
The back doors swung open and closed with a squeak and a clunk, and there stood Emily and Alice, Emily towering over Alice's small frame. Both had bemused looks on their faces.
Before I could answer, my own whole world shifted.
"Offt" I grunted at the sensation.
My eyes went wide, and face lit up. Before I could think, I grabbed Jake's hand and forced it on my belly, the same stop where Ness had kicked before.
His curious expression was sated when another little bump hit our hands.
He smiled up at me like the proud father he wasn't. I would have given the world to have spent that tiny moment of joy with Edward, but to spend it with Jake's hand on my skin was close enough to happiness.
"She kicked" I squealed, "about bloody time Nessie, you've kept me waiting long enough!" I almost cried.
Jakes hand caressed my skin for a moment, and let go gently, as if not to break the strings that attached us.
"Yeah, you can call. Same number" I blushed as Jake laughed.
"You are so predictable!"
I smiled, nodded, and turned to walk out the door.
"Bye Tinkerbells" he called behind me.
I turned, mouth gaped open in disgust at his nickname for me when we were Peter-pan and Tinkerbelle, when we were together. Of which I hadn't heard in years.
He simply winked at me.
I shook my head, "it's time to grow up, Lost Boy. Cause this time, we're not messing around" It was a warning and a promise. When I was healed, I would love him, I would invite him into my bed, he would be Nessie's father. And he had to know what he was getting himself into.
I didn't dare look back, just led myself to Alice's car.
"What was that all about?"
I pulled my face off the passenger side window, and faced her, "pardon?"
"Don't you act dumb with me!" she threatened.
I rolled my eyes, "Jake is a very old friend. We grew up together, and were 'together' together for some time"
"And?"
"Geez, Alice, I haven't seen him in years, his wife died, he has a kid... please, just leave me with this"
Alice looked taken aback, "okay..." she said in a small voice, "sorry"
"Oh, Alice, no, I'm sorry" I squeezed her knee, "thankyou for taking me there today!"
She smiled, "I felt you'd like it" she cocked an eyebrow at me, "so, Jake?"
I laughed, "you just can't leave it can you! Um, Jake and I were together from when we were fifteen, through to when we turned nineteen, and had to leave for college. He stayed in the Rez, I obviously went to Seattle..."
"So, he knew Edward and Rose and stuff?"
I thought back to that time, you would think that along the way the best friend, and boyfriend would meet. "No, he never knew him. It was a little awkward, somewhat us and them at stages. I would hang out with Edward and Rose all week with school and shit, and then on the weekends, it would be me and Jake, and it would be our time. Everyone just got their allocated time, and was satisfied with that"
Alice whistled, "you had a four year relationship, and your best friends never met the guy?"
I shook my head, "Rose met him a couple times when we went to movies or parties, but Edward was never with us. It seems strange, huh?"
Ali shrugged, "s'pose so, doesn't really matter any more huh?"
I shook my head again. "No, s'pose it doesn't"
