Sorry for the long wait on this chapter. I have been extremely busy with my birthday party and winterguard. I already am starting the next chapter so hopefully I can get the up sooner then this one. Please hang with me if you don't think my story is the greatest. I promise something will happen that will be unexpected. I'll leave it at that.
When I got home Charlie was sitting down on the couch in the living room.
"Dad, I'm going to make dinner. Did you eat anything yet?"
"No, would you mind making some for me?"
"No problem." Of course, why would he have made dinner himself. That's the only reason the house wasn't burnt down by the time I got home.
I whipped up some spaghetti and meat balls for the both of us. We sat there in silence for almost the whole meal.
"So, how are things Bella?" he asked getting up for seconds.
"Just fine dad." I said "How are you?"
"Pretty good." He began. "I was wondering, what ever happened to that Alice Cullen. I know Dr. Carlisle is no longer at the hospital but I was curious to see if you were still in touch with her. You spend so much time with Jacob that I'm actually worried that you will soon be forced to make adult decisions sooner then I would like." He finished staring at his plate.
Oh my God. Is he really suggesting what I think he is?
"Look, I'm fine. Just because I don't really have any best friends who are girls doesn't mean I can't handle myself." I said rather harsh
"Billy was talking to me today and he told me Jacob has been acting more mature recently and well, he's also worried about your"
"Dad!" I shouted "Seriously, I can handle myself." I got up and cleared the dishes.
"Ok Bella, I'm just trying to be a good parent."
"And you are." I said finishing cleaning up. "If you will excuse me, I'm going to get ready and go to bed."
I took an abnormally long shower to try and steam out my stress. I dressed slowly in my fleece pajamas being lazy and careless. I walked into my room and shut the door. I opened the window a crack so I wouldn't freeze while waiting for Jacob. I crawled into bed replaying the stupid conversation I had with Charlie in my head. I was drifting in and out of sleep when I heard the window shut. I sat up and put my arms around Jacob. He hugged my back and smiled. He went to pull away from our hug.
"No." I whined. "I'm cold"
"Don't worry love," he chuckled "you won't be cold for long." He leaned over and kissed me. I immediately felt warmth spread through my lips to my toes. I wrapped my arms around his head and we both gasped for air. He started to move his lips towards my neck. My fingers twirled his shaggy hair as I kissed him again. His hands started moving down my back to my waist as he pulled me closer to him. My hands moved from his hair to his perfectly defined abs. My fingers were tracing over his body when I gasped for more air. This time I was not only in need of breathe, but I was so hot that I was panting to cool off.
"Bella," Jacob said pulling away "maybe I should go now."
"No!" I nearly shouted
"But you are obviously too hot to handle." He said moving towards the window.
"Wait, I can fix that. Just hold on for a second." I said jumping up and grabbing a tank top and shorts.
I ran to the bathroom only to find myself tripping and falling face first onto the tile floor. I smacked my head against the cabinet. I looked in the mirror to see what the damage was. There was no blood but I assumed that tomorrow there would be a bruise. I changed and went back into my room to find Jacob gone. I told myself it was trouble with Joshua. Since the window was already shut, I slipped into bed drifting off into sleep once more.
