Recap -

"All right Bells, I will remember that 'k? Can I kiss you now?" I didn't have to answer him, I smiled and pulled him closer to me, I tangled my fingers in his hair and kissed him hard. "Let's take that walk Jake," I said, smiling at him.

Chapter 7: Two is one too many

We walked hand in hand all the way down to the beach. I just love the way the sky reflects off the water, it is just breathtaking.

"Bella, I want you to really think about my question, please. I would like to stop pretending to be your boyfriend and actually be that person. Bells, I'm falling in love with you."

"Jake, can we just enjoy the night together tonight and I promise we will talk more about the whole boyfriend thing another time."

Jake's smile fell a little and I felt bad knowing that it was my fault. I wrapped my arms around his neck and snuggled into Jake's chest. I looked up and smiled a little smile, asking for forgiveness.

"Jake, please, I like you too, but I'm not ready to say anything more right now. I love spending time with you, can we just please be Bella and Jake for now?"

"Bella, I guess so, as long as I still get to kiss you and act like we are a couple."

"That's fine, I rather like that anyways." Then I stood up on my tip toes and kissed Jacob's nose. The next thing I know is that we're on the sand or should I say in the sand. "Jake what are you doing?"

"Just go with it Bells." Then he started to kiss me and I felt just how much he liked me in that kiss. What would Renee think? Here I am, kissing Jake and liking it very much but I like kissing Edward just as much. Let me tell you what, she'd say, Isabella Marie Swan, what are you doing? You can't have two, that's one too many guys honey. I already knew that myself, I guess that's why I think she'd say something like that.

I'm just Edward's friend, he said so himself. He doesn't want anything more from me, then why did he kiss me? Maybe he was just felling sorry for me, who knows?

"Earth to Bella, are you there?" Oh yeah, I'm here with Jacob, my best friend and maybe more. I know what he wants but why can't I just say yes to him? "Earth to Bella, please, what's up with you?"

"Jake, sorry, I was just thinking about things."

"About me maybe?" Then he smiled a big Jacob grin and I said, "Maybe." We laid there on the beach in the sand, kissing and yeah, kissing mostly till I started to get sleepy.

"Can we go back to your house now Jake, I want to go to bed."

"Sure Bells, let's go." Then he bent down, picked me up in his arms, and carried me while kissing me the whole way back to his house.

"Wow Jake, you're really strong." I said when he put me down right before we walked into his house.

"Want a soda Bells? It's warm but I have two for us."

"Sounds great Jake, we can watch TV for a bit and drink them together before we brush our teeth and head to bed. Can we watch the food network?"

"Bells, can I tell you some old folk stories that my father has told and his father before him? You know my ancestry, but you have to keep theirs a secret, you can't share it with anyone else, okay?"

"That sounds nice Jake; I would love to know more about you and your family."

Then Jake began his story. "First, I want to tell you about our forth fathers, they're men who turned into wolves. The great Chief and his men would go on spirit journeys and they would leave their bodies and become one with the animal world.

"This happened for many years till one day, one of the men who wished to be chief found the body of our great Chief and he climbed into it. This left the Great High Chief with no body to come back to. Then he met this wolf and they agreed and became one so that my great, great grandfather could watch over his family and his tribe. That's how my history came to be and how our kind become one with the wolves.

"You scared Bells? Of course you shouldn't be, they're just silly stories. Do you want to another Bella or are you ready for bed?"

"No Jake, I'd love to hear more please." I had said.

"Okay Bells but I request one kiss first."

"Fine then." So I leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips, I pulled away and he moaned. I laughed and told him if he wants another he would have to tell me more. So he kissed my hand and started again.

"Okay Bells, this one's about the "cold ones," they're supposed to feed on humans. In our leagues, they say that your friends, the Cullen's, are the "cold ones." But they're different, you see, they don't hunt people, they only feed on animals. So they can stay and we won't kill them if they don't hunt any people here on our land or anywhere else."

"Jake, that's not true, don't say bad things about them, they're my friends. Alice and I are getting too be really good friends. Even Edward and all of them have been nicer to me lately."

"Bells, I didn't say I believed them, they're just stories you know. How about that kiss, Bells?"

"Alright Jacob, then teeth time, and off to bed I go." So I kissed him one last time tonight, it was slow and long. I had to stop and pull away so I could catch my breath. "Night Jake," I said smiling. I went to brush my teeth and off to Rachelle's old room to get some sleep.

I dreamed of Jacob, at first we're running on the beach playing in the water and then the sand. Then, out of nowhere it started to rain and it turned dark. I was alone now and Edward was standing ways away from me and he was holding something. I couldn't tell what it was till I heard the girl cry out for help. Then there was a giant dog, no, wolf, standing there in my way, blocking Edward's view of me and mine of his.

I wanted to go to him to help, I just knew that he wasn't going to hurt me but the wolf growled at him and looked at me. "Do I know you?" I asked out load, what was I doing, talking to a wolf now? I should be scared out of my mind but I wasn't.

"Jake, is that you?" I asked to the wolf, he just licked my face, turned, and went after Edward. Then I woke up in a cold sweat.

"Bells, are you alright?" Jacob asked. "You were calling my name and his name in your sleep." 'Why would she call his name? I have to put him out of her mind; she's going to be mine! I love her after all and I'm better for her.' Jacob thought to himself

"Yeah, I was just dreaming Jake, sorry if I was too loud, I talk in my sleep, Charlie has told me."

"It's alright Bells, I was dreaming about you to." Then Jake leaned in to kiss me but I pulled away.

"Morning breath," I said and got up to brush my teeth, Jake followed me into the bathroom.

After we finished brushing our teeth, I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead. "Bells, may I pick you up?"

"Why, Jacob?"

"Because I want to do this Bells." And before I knew it, Jake had me in his arms, carrying me back to his room.

My mind went blank, what am I going to do? Am I ready for more than kissing? No! I screamed to myself in my head. Then Edward's face flashed in my mind and he looked so sad that he thought that I was going do something like that with someone that wasn't him.

"Jake, I'm not ready for anything more than kissing okay," I said sheepishly.

"It's okay Bells, that's all I am ready for too." Then we both giggled and Jake and I kept kissing till his stomach growled or was it mine?

"Jake, I'll make pancakes if you make the bacon. Are you hungry?"

"Yes, Bells I'm hungry for you," He said and then laughed.

So we got up, cleaned up the bedroom, made the beds, then went down stairs, and started making breakfast. I made a stack of pancakes and Jake made a pound of bacon. Jake ate fifteen pancakes and all but three pieces of bacon that I had grabbed and was glad that I did.

"Jake, you were really hungry, weren't you?"

"Yeah Bells, I guess I was. I've been eating my dad out of house lately."

"Jake, you feel alright? You feel a little warm."

"Yeah Bells, I feel great, I have my favorite girl here with me." Then he pulled me into a mind blowing kiss. Then we heard them as they pulled up and got out of the car.

"Charlie, do you think the kids are even up yet? If I know Jacob, he would've had Bella up late watching some kind of scary movie or something."

"Yeah, Billy, Bells gets up early, at the crack of dawn. I bet you anything she has already had them fed and has Jake cleaning up." We jumped a mile apart when they walked in.

"Morning Bells, Jake, what are you guys up to? Better not be making out or anything kids." Charlie said with a laugh.

"Yeah, you know we couldn't let you two stay together alone anymore if there's anything going on here." Billy added.

Jake and I both yelled no, I blushed and Jake started to wash the dishes that we had just eaten breakfast on.

"See Billy, told you that she would have him cleaning something. By the way kids, we were just yanking your chains. We know that you two are just best friends."

"I know dad, are you and Billy hungry? Want something to eat?"

"Sounds great Bells, we haven't had any decent food in days."

So I fixed my dad and Billy some breakfast. Then I got all my things together and let me tell you it was a lot because of everything that Alice had bought me. Then Charlie and I went home.
