Everything Goes: Chapter Two:
Sweat drip down her spine as she opened her eyes. Glancing around she realized she was not in her old room at Charlie's nor was she in her new room. Nope. Instead she was with Jake. She sighed heavily as she realized what a big baby she must have looked like to Jake. She was too scare to sleep even in her own bed. For God's sake she was twenty-one years old. It was time to grow up and put her big girl panties on.
She began to move when she realized that she was pinned to the bed by Jake's massive muscular arms. She let out a long breathe as she attempted to lift up his arm. He put his arm back around her waist pulling her up against him. She felt like she was being pinned in between two vehicles. The boy would not release her. She wiggled a bit hoping to make a bit of room between them. Jake's lips were touching the outer rim of her ear as he whispered to her.
"Mmm…baby you feel so good like this." Jake moaned.
Bella's eyes flew wide open. She was praying that he was having a dream and not seriously speaking those words to her.
"Jake. Jake." Bella reached behind her rubbing his face with her free hand.
His tongue darted out licking her ear. She felt her stomach flip upside down. Her body tingled all over. Her heart was racing like a racehorse. She wasn't sure what to do next.
"God you taste good too." Jake pressed up against her backside.
Bella's cheeks immediately began to heat up . He was hard as a rock and small was not how she would define the size of him. He was definitely above average if she was to take a guess at it.
"Jake!" Bella shouted as she began to jerk on his arm as hard as she could.
"What the hell?" Jake pulled away from her looking at her like he she had just slap him.
"I think you were dreaming." Bella replied tartly as she jump out of the bed.
"Uh?" Jake rubbed his eyes as he set up in the bed staring at Bella like she had just grown a second head.
"You were saying some…uh…stuff." Bella didn't want to reveal his exact words. She knew he would only laugh about it. She was not in the mood to deal with his immature side.
She raced out of the room and across the hall to her own.
Jake laid there trying to remember what he had been dreaming about? Nothing came to mind. He couldn't exactly apologize if he didn't know what he did or said to upset her. He looked down at the tent in his boxers and prayed like hell that he didn't grind up against her.
Hoping to diminish the painful erection he raced to the shower before she could.
Bella quickly put on some clothes and pulled her hair up in a ponytail. Trying to keep her feelings at bay she decided to cook them some breakfast to bring back some normalcy between them. Her hormones began to settle as a different form of excitement took it's place. The thought of cooking a meal in her very own kitchen, was to the say least, a wonderful distraction.
She knew that Jake enjoyed her cooking. Humming she made her way to the kitchen. On her way she noticed that the bathroom door was open slightly. Not able to resist the temptation she peeked in and saw Jake standing in front of the shower bare naked. It appeared he was checking the water's temperature before he dared to enter it.
Bella's cheeks once again were set on fire as she gazed at the most incredible and kissable ass she had ever seen in her life. The man had a body that could make even a nun want to rape him. Bella forced herself to walk away before Jake caught her staring at him.
Setting her destination, once again, to the kitchen she immediately started the task of making a fresh pot of coffee. Opening the fridge she got the ingredients she needed to make Jake's favorite meat and cheese omelet. She tried to stay focused on what she was doing instead of letting herself remember how great his backside looked. It definitely match his chest, which was also deliciously sculpted with beautiful muscles.
She was pouring them each a cup of coffee and was placing his freshly cooked omelet on his plate when he stepped inside of the kitchen wearing just his jeans and no shirt. Bella nearly dropped the spatula.
"Shirt?" She coughed as she fought for air. She had seen without a shirt a million times but now that her feelings were changing toward him it felt improper somehow to see his upper half exposed to her sex crazed eyes.
"Oh sorry." Jake left the room returning a second later wearing a dark red t-shirt.
"Wow, this smells so good." Jake wiggled his eyebrows happily as he sat down at the table across from Bella.
"Mmmm….tastes good too." Jake moaned as he closed his eyes enjoying the taste.
Bella felt the toast she just swallowed go down the wrong way. She started gagging. Jake jump up and began to smack her back. A few seconds later Bella was able to get the toast down. Fortunately her life was saved but now her back was sore as hell from Jake's rampant pounding.
"That hurt ." Bella's voice was hoarse as she pick up the coffee cup and took a long sip on it.
"I imagine it did. I can't believe you choked Bella. I mean I always thought you were better than that." Jake shot her a dirty smile.
Bella spit out her drink splashing Jake's face and the front of his shirt with her coffee.
"Damn Bella." Jake cried out as he jump up out of his seat. He walked over to the counter and pick up a towel. Drying his face and shirt off.
"I'm so sorry." Bella closed her eyes as laughter began to explode out of her mouth.
Today was starting out to be one of the worst days ever. She made a mental note that starting tonight she would definitely sleep in her own bed.
"It's okay. It seems you are having difficulties with swallowing things." Jake chuckled as he wiped his face again.
Bella's eyes rolled up into her head. Everything he said sounded so perverted.
Bella walked out of the room grabbing her purse.
"Where you going?" Jake called out as he stood in the kitchen staring at Bella with a baffled look on his face.
"Anywhere." Bella shook her head flashing Jake a bewildered look as she raced out of the apartment.
Jake stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out what was bothering her? They had only shared twenty-four hours under the same roof and he was starting to wonder if he even knew Bella anymore.
Sitting on the park bench, she opened her purse and retrieved her phone from it. She needed to speak to someone, anyone, and at once knew that Angela was the right person for this conversation. Normally she had difficulities choosing which of her two best friends to call but after her break up with Edward, it was harder to talk to Alice about her guy problems. Alice and Edward were cousins.
Although Alice was deeply disappointed the relationship didn't last the long hauled that she hoped for, she didn't let that damage their friendship.
"Hey!" Angela greeted Bella happily.
"Hey!" Bella felt a moment of sadness at the sound of her best friend's voice.
"So how is the new place. Let me guess you have already unpacked everything." Angela giggled excitedly.
"Yeah I have." Bella chuckled. Everyone who knew her knew she tended to be a clean freak. It was important that she put everything in its proper place. She just liked being organized.
"I can't wait to come visit next weekend." Angela said.
"Me too." Bella agreed.
"So how are you and Jake handling living under the same roof with one another?" Angela ask curiously.
Angela suspected that Bella's feelings would someday changed about Jake. They were just too damn close as friends in her book. Angela and Alice had an ongoing bet on who would wake up first and realize they were actually in love with their best friend, Jake or Bella.
Angela put her bet on Bella. She suspected that Bella's break up with Edward involved more than distance. Bella claimed that with Edward's work he was more often in New York than Forks and that she felt like the relationship could not grow any further. Which meant basically other than a casual sexual tryst here and there they would not amount to anything deeper in Bella's book.
Angela knew that Bella was not exactly looking for a lifetime commitment so when she dumped a guy as handsome, refined, and wealthy as Edward she suspected there was more to it than she was willing to share with her or Alice.
"Okay. I ..well..I feel so stupid Alice I actually slept with Jake last night." Bella exhaled a long heavy breathe.
"What? OMG! I knew you would! Not that fast of course but eventually I just knew it!" Angela jumped up and down shouting excitedly.
Bella frowned at the phone as she pulled it away from her ear.
Angela's screams were so loud it actually hurt her ears.
"What are you talking about?' Bella stammered.
"You just said you slept with Jake." Angela reminded her.
"NOT like that! Geez! I literally slept in his bed. We didn't have sex." Bella rolled her eyes.
Why was everything about sex today? She wondered if it was due to her lack of sex life these days? She needed to get laid she decided. Maybe then these foreign sexual feelings she was experiencing for Jake would disappear. She hoped so. She did not want to ruin her friendship with him. She loved Jake. He was the one constant thing in her life that she knew she could not survive if he decided to take off. He was her sun and she was his moon. She was his yin to his yang. They were alike and different. They were Jake and Bella.
She closed her eyes for a second as she allowed the image of his backside to drift into her mind. Yeah, Jake was definitely one damn hot specimen when it came to the male species. She just couldn't afford to look at him as a man. It was far too dangerous.
"OH! My bad!" Angela laughed nervously.
"What did you mean that you knew I would eventually?" Bella suddenly realized that Angela was thrilled at the idea of her sleeping with Jake.
"Look Bella you know I love you honey but let's face it you and Jake are adults now. When are you two going to realize that you would make a great couple. You both date people that are like complete opposites from yourselves and from one another. It never works because you two are truly in love with one another but are too damn stubborn to admit it." Angela decided to reveal what everyone else was thinking about the couples friendship.
"Sure I love Jake but not like THAT." Bella knew her attempt of hiding her feelings for Jake could only last so long. She wasn't ready to give in. Not now. They just move in together there was no way she was going to ruin a good thing.
"Okay. Keep up the charade. I'm telling you Bella if you don't admit it soon some girl is going to steal his heart from you." Angela warned her.
Bella felt her stomach twist in knots at the thought of Jake actually falling in love with someone who wasn't her. Jake was nowhere near the point in his life to settle down with anyone. He liked playing the field. She told herself to calm down. Jake wasn't about to find the girl of his dreams.
"Please we are talking about Jake. He never sticks with a girl for too long." Bella laughed at the thought.
"YOU keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better." Angela snorted.
"So anyways, I was calling you to see how your big night with Ben went?" Bella quickly changed the subject. She was lying about her real motive for calling. She knew now she couldn't reveal to Angela about these new feelings that Jake had stirred up in her. She just hoped it was lust. Yeah, lust. If she went out and met someone new she would probably not feel such a physical need for Jake.
"It was beautiful. He took me to that new French restaurant for dinner then afterwards we drove down to the beach. We sat on a blanket snuggling and just talked about stuff. I think we are on the same page at last." Angela answered.
"So do you think he will propose to you?" Bella smiled happily for her friend.
Bella knew that it hurt Angela like hell when she broke up with Ben a year ago. She told Bella that Ben seem to be okay with them just being boyfriend and girlfriend. They'd been dating for five years and two of them were during High School. She was ready for a commitment. Plus her parents weren't about to let her just move in with Ben without a ring on her finger. Bella always thought Angela's parents were a bit old fashion in her book but Angela always tried to make her parents happy. Ben knew that too. So when he agreed to the break up Bella wanted to punch him in the face. Angela refused to let her hurt him. She explained it was his right to walk away, after all she was the one to break up.
"Just a matter of time." Angela squealed.
Bella smiled fondly. She was hoping Angela was correct. If Ben didn't propose this time nothing Angela could say would stop her from kicking his ass.
"Good. Don't forget to check on Charlie for me. He says he will be fine but you and I both know that is a lie."
"Yeah, he looked a bit sad last night when I came across him at the grocery store." Angela confessed.
"Grocery store? Charlie?" Bella was stunned. Charlie never went to the grocery store unless she was sick and couldn't leave the house. He hated the place. He said there was too many single women shopping for more than food.
"Yep." Angela replied popping the "P" at the end of the word.
"What was he buying?" Bella ask curiously. She made sure to fill up the fridge the day before she left.
"He had a bag of chips I think in his hands. Oh and a bottle of cheap wine." Angela answered.
"Chips and wine?" Bella tried to think of one sensible reason he would purchase those two items together. She came up empty. She wondered what her sneaky ass dad was up too?
"He was alone?" Bella ask.
"Yep." Angela replied.
"I have another call beeping. I will call you later." Bella smiled sadly as she pushed the button to take the next call.
"Hello." Bella replied with a long yawn behind it.
"Bella, it's Edward." Edward's voice was soft and warm.
"Edward?" Bella was surprised by the unexpected call from her ex-boyfriend. If you could call him even that. They had dated on and off for six months. His job took him away often on business. So they saw each other a couple of times a month when he was home.
"I saw your dad this morning at the gas station. I was surprised to hear you moved."
"Yeah. I got that job transfer that I put in. It made sense to move closer." Bella explained.
"Oh. Congratulations." Edward replied sounding truly happy for her.
"Thanks."
"So how does it feel to have your own place?" Edward teased.
He found it odd that a girl her age hadn't moved out sooner. He couldn't fathom why it comforted her to take care of her father the way that she did.
"Great." Bella admitted.
"Good. So I think I am set up for a meeting in Port Angeles later this week. Maybe we could hook up for dinner or something." Edward suggested.
Bella blinked a couple of times before she could answer him.
"Sure." Bella knew it was a mistake to see Edward again but after this morning with Jake she was willing to do anything to release some of her sexual tension before she made the fatal mistake of pouncing Jake's delicious body. She was willing to sacrifice some of her pride and sleep with Edward, if that was what it took to prevent losing her friendship with Jake.
"Good. I will give you a call later once I get a permanent date and time." Edward offered.
"Sure." Bella agreed .
"Okay we'll talk with you later."
Bella hung up the phone and threw it back in her purse.
Rubbing her hands up and down her face she wondered how she was going to endure seeing Edward again after all this time? It had been over two months since they saw each other last. Would she still be attracted to him? He was after all a good-looking man. There was not too many things she would say was wrong with Edward. She liked him well enough. The few times they slept with one another was pretty good.
Grabbing her purse she decided it was time to go home. She couldn't hide out from Jake forever. After all they did live under the same roof now. She just had to stop thinking of him as anything but a friend. He hadn't given her one reason to suspect that his feelings might have changed toward her. She wasn't about to ruin what they had. Nope. She was going to continue being the friend he was use to and depended on.
Jake put all of his clothes away. Looking inside of his closet he was amazed at how much room he still had. At his dad's his closet was an equal size of a coat closet in most homes. This closet was almost the same size of his actual room he noted to himself. It felt weird to have so much room around him.
Opening the last box he found a picture frame of him and Bella. They were standing next to a snowman they had built together. Her face was so red from the cold. He smiled. They had ended up smashing the snowman the next day when Bella started a snowball fight that she lost to him.
Bella being Bella, actually ended up tripping and landing smack on top of the frozen snowman crushing it. Jake jump on top of her smashing it worse. When they got up they both were laughing so hard. Charlie stepped out on the porch with two cups of hot cocoa staring at them as if they were both idiots. In Charlie's eyes they were no longer teenagers so he could not fathom why they would find playing in the snow as fun.
Jake set the photo next to his bed. Pulling out a few more items he found another photo frame of him and Bella. This one was taken on a sunny spring day. He held her in his arms. They were on a picnic with friends. It was around the time he started working out at the new local gym. He had been so proud of his new muscular physique. Bella of course teased him that he was vain. So he challenged her that he could carry her in his arms and run for five minutes without losing his breathe. She took him up on the challenge. If he lost he would have to clean her bathroom, if he won she would cook him four peach pies. He won the challenge.
Alice took the picture of them as he jogged with her in his arms.
He found himself smiling again.
Bella always had a way of making him smile when he was near her. She made him feel worthy. She was always encouraging him to reach for the moon. She seem to have so much confidence in him. If he had a problem Bella was always by his side trying to help him with it. He could count on her to be the friend he needed. They rarely shared any bad moments between them. The few that they did ended quickly.
He stared at the crumpled up sheets on his bed. It bothered him that he couldn't remember what he had dreamed about. He suspected he said something to make Bella uncomfortable. She couldn't get out of his room fast enough and her cheeks were a dark shade of red.
At breakfast she seemed awkward. They were always comfortable and at ease with one another. Why was she suddenly acting so odd? Did she regret moving in together? He hoped not. He couldn't imagine having anyone else as a roommate.
Hearing the front door open and close he stepped out of his room and looked down the narrow hallway and saw Bella. She seem to be lost in her thoughts as she walked into the kitchen.
He hoped that when she saw that he cleaned up she might be in a better mood. He didn't want her to feel the need to take care of all of the cleaning. He wasn't Charlie. He didn't mind doing a bit of household chores. It did not make him feel less of a man to do dishes.
Jake walked into the kitchen and saw her smiling. He felt an abundance of relief flow through him.
"See I can clean." Jake stated proudly.
"Yes, you can." Bella agreed as she smiled warmly at him.
"So do you feel like some miniature golf today? Embry told me about a place in town." Jake suggested.
Bella chewed on the corner of her lip as she considered spending the day with her best friend versus sitting in her apartment with nothing to do.
"You bet." Bella agreed.
"Great. Let me call Embry. He wanted to tag along. Apparently Quil and Collin are getting on his last nerve." Jake explained.
Bella nodded in agreement.
She liked Embry. She liked all of Jake's friends. Besides she reminded herself the more people around then the less awkward she might feel.
Walking into her room while he made his call, she noticed her hair looked horrid from being out in the wind. Brushing her hair she replaced it in the pony tail. Picking up her favorite lip gloss she placed a new coat on her lips. She was not wearing makeup today and didn't see the point of it. Picking up her favorite body spray she put a little on before leaving her room.
When she got to the living room she noticed that Jake changed shirts since this morning when she accidentally spit coffee all over him.
She couldn't stop herself from staring at his chest. The shirt outlined his six pack underneath it. When her eyes roamed up to his face she caught him staring at her with a bewildered look.
"I thought black might be able to hide any stains you might put on this one." Jake teased her.
Bella gasp pretending to be offended by that remark. Slapping his large bicep as she walked past him.
Jake lock up the apartment. Walking toward her car he couldn't help but wonder why she was staring at his chest earlier? He could have almost sworn he caught desire in her eyes. He knew it was a ridiculous thought but it was there in the back of his head. He couldn't help but wonder if something had changed between them that he was unaware of?
Sitting in the car next to her he tried not to openly stared at her. She was humming along to the music that was blaring on the radio. Bella did not usually play the radio so loud. Once again she was acting unlike herself. It was killing him. Why was she acting so strangely?
Not knowing why he did it, he leaned over placing a gentle kiss on her cheek. Bella's smiling face swiftly changed. The smile faded and a frown replaced it. He kissed her a million times before on the cheek. It was then that it occurred to him that every time he touch her or was near her lately, she seem to react strangely.
"What was that for?" Bella ask as she chuckled nervously.
"Just checking to see if you were okay." He lied.
"I'm fine Jake. Seriously." Bella rolled her eyes playfully at him before turning them back toward the road.
"If you say so." Jake muttered under his breathe. Bella turn the music up even louder. Jake stared out of the passenger window wondering how long before she would break down and confess what was really bothering her. He would give her until tonight to make her admission on her own, if not he would force it out of her, anyway it took.
