Um, I hope I am not doing a bad job...

So tell me what you think in the end if you want.

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to, really. It was an accident." I was rushing, not knowing what I was even saying. I felt so embarrassed by what had just happened; I didn't know what to do.

"Bella." He surprised me by interrupting me, placing a cool finger on my lips with his other hand. I felt myself getting warmer despite his cold fingers. My breathing stopped. "I…."

Wasn't it just horrible when you kept on getting interrupted by people over and over again?

Alice and Jasper stood at the door. Alice had a huge grin on her face, and Jasper looked uncomfortable. And to me, it felt like Edward was ready to growl at them. I stepped back so they wouldn't get the wrong idea about anything, but one of Edward's hands was still holding on to one of mine and he didn't seem to want to let go anytime soon. Thank goodness it was getting darker by the minute, that way they wouldn't notice my red face.

"Hi, you two," Alice beamed. "Sorry if we had to come and interrupt, but we needed to speak to Edward…about things."

Edward seemed to stiffen at Alice's words.

"I-I…I think it is time for you to go home, Bella," Edward agreed reluctantly. I noticed he wasn't looking at me as he said that. He was facing Jasper and Alice with what seemed like an embarrassed expression.

"I think you are right, I should be getting home," I said, confused a little.

He let my hand go, so I walked to the door where Jasper and Alice were. They made room for me to go through, and Alice whispered something as I left.

"Sorry."

I was blushing as I walked downstairs. Emmett was on the couch with the same grin as Alice.

"Hey, Bella, how was it going up there?" he asked with enthusiasm.

"What do you mean?" I asked. A lot of things had gone on up there.

"You know…You and Edward," he added after seeing I still didn't understand.

I blushed again; then I started walking toward the door. "Oh, well, we talked. And now I have to go," I said before he could add anything, making it clear I didn't want him to. I was getting what they must be talking about. I heard him laughing as I headed to my truck.

On the way to Charlie's, I thought about Edward. He was so sweet, and I had just embarrassed myself. I felt like I couldn't stand to have him look at me again, knowing he would be remembering what had happened. He must have thought I was an idiot for doing that. Maybe he thought I had done it on purpose. What would he think? I hadn't done it on purpose, but the feel of his lips was something I would never be able to forget. Ever.

I got to Charlie's about fifteen minutes before he came home. Dinner was barely cooking. I'd had to check on it over and over, making sure it didn't burn, the meatloaf, because I couldn't concentrate. My thoughts kept wandering back to Edward and the incident…

"Bella, I'm home," Charlie announced from the hallway. I got up from the chair I was sitting on.

"I'm in the kitchen," I hollered. "Dinner may be sort of late, though. Sorry."

"That's okay. I'm going to check what's on TV," he said.

When Dinner was ready, I didn't have much of an appetite.

"Char-Dad, Friday I am going to go on the camping trip and tomorrow I am going to spend the day with Jake," I reminded.

"Right. Well, have a nice time with Jake…and on the camping trip," he said.

"Jake is going to be going to go with the Cullen's and me, so you can watch the game with Billy Saturday," I suggested.

"Jake is going to go with you?" he asked, surprised.

"Yeah," I answered.

"Well, okay. Be careful, though."

That night I thought about how it was going to go on Friday. It was still cloudy. But that wasn't what I wanted to know about. I wanted to know what was going to happen with Edward and me.

I woke up to another cloudy day. Today I was going to spend the day with Jake. Charlie was gone and it was still early, but I didn't feel like being in bed anymore. I needed to do something, so I went downstairs after showering and brushing my teeth and changing. I got a Pop-Tart from the kitchen and ate it quickly as I walked to the front door. Glowering at the sky outside, I got in my truck and headed toward Jake's house.

The sound of the truck alerted Jake that I had arrived, early, and he met me as I was about to step out of my truck with a big grin.

"Hey, Bells! You're early," he noted.

I frowned. "Sorry. Do you want me to come back?" I asked.

"No! I'm just surprised…and glad. I'll get to spend more time with you, unless you're here early because you have somewhere else where you have to go," he said, his lower lip jutting out on a frown. I knew what he meant- that I was only here for a while, and then I would be going to the Cullen's place-but today was Jacob Day, when I spent my day with him.

"No, today I am here to spend the day with you, since I don't come down here as much as you'd want me to…I think," I said.

He started to laugh, taking my hand and leading me toward the garage. When we got there, there was nothing knew he was working on.

"Are you working on something?" I asked.

"No, I just wanted to spend time with you," he sighed.

"Is that a good thing, or bad?"

He laughed again. "You're so funny sometimes."

"Right, I bet I am," I said.

"Do you want to go down to the beach?" he asked me.

"Okay, just remind me to tell you about the camping trip tomorrow. I don't want to forget," I said.

So we went down to the beach in his car. It was the same there too. The sun wasn't in view, but big, rolling gray clouds were. I sighed as we began to walk along the shore hand in hand.

"Is something wrong?" Jacob asked me.

"No, I'm just worried it won't be a good day for camping tomorrow. It seems like it might rain a lot. I like the sun," I confessed.

He pursed his lips. "Well, for one thing, I'll be there, so there is no need to worry." He flashed me the smile I loved. "But it is going to rain, maybe even hard, so I'm not sure it was a good time to go."

I nodded. If it rained, would it ruin it? Would the Cullens mind?

We reached a very familiar tree, with its roots sticking out above the ground. It was our tree. He sat down and I sat beside him. At first we just stared out at the rolling waves. They seemed large and scary as they crash against the rocks by the shore.

"Bella," Jacob said.

Taking my other hand in his, he looked at me in the eyes, looking serious now. "I need to ask you something," he said. I looked at him, waiting for his question.

"Do you… Is there something going on…between you and…that Cullen guy?" he asked, rushing his words. They caught me off guard, and I didn't know if he had actually asked me what I thought he had.

"Jake…" I didn't know what to answer. I didn't even know the answer myself.

"Just answer me, please. I need to know." His face was pleading.

"I…" Something clicked inside of my head. I hadn't thought about it this way with Edward. Edward was too perfect for me. How could Jake even ask me? Couldn't he see the comparison between the Cullens and me? But…Edward and me… I thought about it for a moment. The feeling in my stomach made it feel like it was filled with fluttering butterflies.

He seemed to notice my hesitation and took it for an answer.

"It's okay, Bells. I mean, I guess I should have known there was something going on between you two." His voice was sad.

"Jake, how can you even think there is something between Edward and me?" My voice was soft. "It would never be possible." I could hear the sadness in my voice and I wondered if he could, too. "He's too perfect," I said to myself.

"Don't say that," he ordered. "I bet there are many guys out there who are attracted to you." He looked like he regretted saying that instantly.

I sighed. "Not the one I want." As soon as the words slipped out, I gasped.

He was quiet, looking away from me.

"But you have feelings toward him." He wasn't asking me a question.

"I…Jake…I…."

I did feel something toward Edward Cullen, something that made me breathless, made me forget my name, made me forget the world. I couldn't hide it. There was something there. I couldn't explain it, but the way I felt toward him was something special. There was something different about him that made me want to know more about him…It attracted me to him.

"I can't explain my feelings, but either way…it's impossible for…and I don't want to start hoping for something impossible," I confessed.

"You don't have to," he whispered next to me. I looked at him and he was looking back at me. He placed one of his hands on y cheek carefully. It was hot!

I didn't move, frozen in shock, not imagining what he must be thinking about. I only realized it when his soft warm lips pressed gently against mine. It didn't take more than a second after our lips met before I pulled away.

"Jake, what was that about?" I demanded.

He didn't answer. He just stared out at the beach with a pained expression.

"I have to go," I announced, standing up. He didn't stop me. "Call me if you still want to go to the camping trip." Then, I realized we had come in his car. "Can you take me to get my truck?"

He took me to get my truck without speaking, his expression the same when I said goodbye too soon. It was still early in the day and I had no idea how I was going to spend the rest of it.

When I got home, I couldn't believe how much I was hoping for the phone to ring. I wanted to apologize for the way I reacted, though, I am sure it was the right reaction in my case. I was about going crazy, walking by the phone. When it did ring, about at four in the afternoon, it made me scream and jump.

"Hello," I answered.

"Bella, it's Alice."

"Oh, hi, Alice." I was breathless.

"Is something wrong?" She was instantly alarmed.

"No! The phone just scared me, that is all," I answered.

"Well, I called to see if the do-your friend was still going…and if you were also."

"Oh, yeah, I am still going…but I'm not sure about Jacob. We'll see. If he calls me, I'll call you and tell you," I promised.

After I had hung up, I sighed only to jump up again when the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Bella?" Jake's voice brought a smile to my face.

"Jake! I'm so glad you called. I've been waiting around the phone for hours." I stopped myself, wondering if I had given away too much information.

"Um, I called to apologize for today. I'm sorry for having done that. It…won't happen again…unless…. Nevermind, I just called to ask about the trip," he said in a bleak voice.

"Okay, it is tomorrow. We are meeting at the Cullens at six in the morning. Alice thinks it is better to spend as much time together as we can…for some reason. Anyways, we'll be back on Sunday in the afternoon. Hopefully it will get sunny, though, or we'll have to cut it short. Though, I don't think rain will keep Alice and the others from having fun."

"Right, well, I'll see you tomorrow," he said.

"Wait, don't you need directions to the Cullens'?" I wondered.

He was silent for a moment.

"Bella, would you mind if I picked you up?" His voice was hopeful.

"Only if you change your mood," I answered.

"Deal." His voice was already happier. "See you tomorrow, Bells."

"Bye, Jake."

How was it? Anyways, I am going to go to MX from...I think the 20th(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) till like the 11th(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 11) so I might not be able to update for a while.
