I was not looking forward to the next day. It was Saturday, and I had a date with Jacob. How was I to know if Edward was going to interfere or not? I couldn't take that risk. It would hurt Jacob too. But I couldn't just cancel, that would also hurt. I hated my options. And I've been waiting too long for this moment.
I was extra careful as I got up and began to prepare for the coming events. Even though I told Edward to leave, I still feared that he would show up without warning. To be honest with myself, I was actually scared of him this time.
I managed to get through my morning routine without interference, I could only hope the day would go the same. Maybe he has taken my words seriously and was going to stay away…I doubt it.
Edward had always been stubborn, and he even said that he wasn't giving up that easily. That was proof enough.
I swear I looked like a paranoid psycho as I was driving down to La Push, looking out of the window every five seconds. Jacob unfortunately caught eye of this and seemed worried as I slipped out of my truck and onto the soft ground.
"Bella? Are you okay?" Concern filled his husky voice.
"Yeah, Jake, I'm fine." I was always horrible at lying, but he didn't seem to notice.
"So, you ready to try out the bikes?" He asked as the concern was exchanged for excitement on his face. I melted, there was no way that I could say no to him. So I nodded and smiled back. "Great, I could the perfect place."
He drove my truck this time, occasionally commenting on how slow it went. But soon we were at the top of the cliffs, looking down a long straight away dirt road.
"We should be okay here. Not many people come up this far anyway." He told me as he went around to the back to get the motorcycles out of the bed. A shiver ran up my spine, not because it was cold, but because I had a feeling that we were being…watched. And I had the only person in mind that would do that.
"Jake, maybe today isn't such a good time to do this…" I spoke slowly, not really sure of my words.
"Are you sure? I thought you wanted to do this today. Did you change your mind?" I looked into his deep set eyes and sighed. I could see that he really wanted to do this, so how could I let him down? Plus, there was no real danger. Jacob would never let anything happen to me. So everything would be alright.
"Nevermind, let's do it." The smile returned as he got the second bike out of the truck and placed it onto the ground. He spent a few minutes going over the basic parts of the bike until I had everything down packed.
"Alright, so I'm going to kick start it, and you have to keep your hand down or you'll go flying. Okay?"
"Okay." Was all I could muster out until I felt the bike roar and come to life underneath me. It bucked as I waited for Jacob to give me further instructions.
"Now, ease up slowly and remember to keep your balance." He spoke as he let go of the back of the seat. I took a deep breath, and slowly prepared myself. But right before I could let off of the brake, I heard someone shout my name.
Oh no, don't let this be happening. I thought to myself as I forced myself to look behind me and face him.
