Gabriella woke to find herself in Jacob's arms in the middle of the desert.

Bits of last night's activities flashed through Gabriella's head. She blushed profusely.

What had come over her? She wasn't the type of girl who slept with a guy straight after their first date.

That was the kind of thing a desperate whore would do, not a lady. And yet she didn't regret last night.

She really liked Jacob. So much to the point it could be considered love. Gabriella didn't want to admit it was love after only one date but there was no denying that what she felt for Jacob was more than just youthful lust.

Gently pulling herself out of Jacob's arms, she went and sat a couple feet away and watched him sleep.

He looked so peaceful, so beautiful in sleep, her heart just ached for him. She began to sing to the overcast desert sky,

" Do I love you because you're beautiful

Or are you beautiful because I love you?

Am I making believe I see in you

A man too perfect to be really true?

Do I want you because you're wonderful

Or are you wonderful because I want you?

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream?

Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Am I making believe I see in you

A man too perfect to be really true?

Do I want you because you're wonderful

Or are you wonderful because I want you?

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream?

Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?".

Jacob finally woke and sitting up, he gave Gabriella a sleepy smile.

" Morning", Gabriella greeted him, shyly.

" Morning", echoed Jacob, just as shyly.

" Last night-", began Gabriella, not looking at Jacob.

" Was it okay?", Jacob asked her, looking truly concerned.

" Y-Yeah. Better than okay, actually", Gabriella told him.

" Are you sure? 'Cause if you are having regrets-", began Jacob.

" No, I have no regrets. I wanted last night to happen", Gabriella replied.

" But?", pried Jacob.

" But I think we jumped the gun a little bit. Sex is supposed to come at least after knowing each other a little longer than a week", Gabriella sighed.

" You're right. It is supposed to come after knowing each other at least a year. You still don't have any regrets?", asked Jacob.

Gabriella shook her head then said, " No".

" But you probably feel a little embarrassed, right?", asked Jacob.

" A little. I'm so sorry I feel that way but-", began Gabriella.

" It's okay, Gabriella. I totally understand", Jacob interrupted her.

" You do?", asked Gabriella.

" Yeah. You revealed a lot about yourself last night to me. Things you probably didn't want anyone knowing about yourself. It's okay. Your secret's safe with me", Jacob reassured Gabriella, going and encasing her in a hug.

Gabriella smiled and mumbled, "Thanks".

" Now how about we go get ourselves some waffles from IHOP?", asked Jacob.

" Sounds good to me!", giggled Gabriella, getting up.

" Um, you may want to put this back on", Jacob suggested, holding out a shirt and sweater to Gabriella.

She looked down at herself to see she was in her bra and pants. She was even more shocked to see her pants were unzipped. Blushing, she took her shirt and sweater from Jacob and turned around to put them on and zipper her pants back up.

Jacob chuckled and said, " Yeah, last night you were an animal".

" And you weren't?", retorted Gabriella, still blushing.

Jacob laughed at that and pulling Gabriella in his arms, growled, " Yeah, but you liked it".

Gabriella didn't say anything, just pulled Jacob to her in a big kiss.

Once they were all decent enough, they got on Jake's motorcycle and drove into town.

Jake and Gabriella held hands as they entered IHOP, grinning like crazy and looking ever the couple.

Then Gabriella looked away from Jacob to look around the restaurant and focused in on a spiky brunette head sitting in a corner booth with a really handsome, blonde stranger.

" No! That can't be…", gasped Gabriella and marched over to the booth.

" Gabriella? Gabriella, what are you doing?", Jake called after her, following her to the corner booth.

" Alice!", cried Gabriella once she reached the booth and saw who it was.

" Gabriella!", cried Alice, looking surprised and a little ashamed to see her friend.

" Who is this?", demanded Gabriella, pointing towards the blonde boy sitting opposite Alice.

" No one!", insisted Alice.

" I'm Jasper Hale", Jasper introduced himself.

" Hi, I'm Gabriella Montez, Alice's friend, and this is my boyfriend, Jacob Black", Gabriella introduced herself and Jacob to Jasper.

" So this was where you ran off to, Jacob?", Jasper said to Jacob casually.

Gabriella whirled on Jacob. " You know him?", She asked him.

" We both lived in Oregon", Jacob explained.

" I thought you were from Washington?", Alice asked Jasper.

" I am. Jacob's lying about where he's from", Jasper clarified.

" Forget about that for a second, okay? What are you doing here? And with-?", Gabriella said to Alice.

" Jasper", Jasper put in for her.

" Yeah, him", said Gabriella, looking at Alice with a questioning glare.

" Jasper is buying me breakfast, that's all", Alice told Gabriella in a huff.

" Uh-huh, yeah, and you expect me to believe that?", asked Gabriella.

" God, Gabriella, this is not what you think it is!", hissed Alice.

" Oh, really? And what do I think this is?", demanded Gabriella.

" Never mind. Just leave us alone, okay?", snapped Alice.

" Does Kelsi know you're with him?", Gabriella asked her.

" What?", demanded Alice.

" Does Kelsi, your girlfriend, know you're getting breakfast with a really handsome stranger? Or do you not notice he's handsome because maybe you're gay?", Gabriella continued to ask.

" Shut up, you bitch!", Alice yelled at Gabriella.

" Excuse me, but you're disturbing the other customers", The Hostess informed the group with a nasty look on her face, " So if you must continue to yell, I must ask you to take it outside".

" No bother, we're done here", grumbled Alice, getting up and throwing her napkin down on the table and storming from the restaurant.

" It seems that wherever you go, Jacob, there's always some fighting", Jasper said casually to Jacob.

" I try really hard not to get caught up in fighting anymore, if you realize", Jacob replied.

" I can see why. You got a good life going here. Don't need any past mistakes screwing that up. Don't worry, I'll be gone by tomorrow. Better get home fast 'cause I think Bella would like to say good-bye", Jasper responded and got up to leave.

" Wait, how do you know each other? And how do you know Bella?", Gabriella asked, looking between the two.

" So she knows?", Jasper asked Jacob.

" Not about you, though, or Edward", Jacob informed him.

" Oh, so I'll leave you to explain about us. See you again in three months, Jacob", Jasper replied and left.

" Okay, I'm confused", Gabriella said to Jacob.

" Sit down and I'll explain everything", Jacob told her simply.
