"Bella, this is Sam & Emily" he said gesturing to a man who had a woman sitting on his lap at the head of the table. They both raised their hands in greeting "… that's Paul, Brady, Colin, Jared, his girl Kim.." he said continuing around the table ".. Seth and his sister Leah, Lisa and Karina who are friends of Emily's.." he continued around the table ".. and then of course.. you remember.." he trailed off pointing of at the end of the table.
I had a huge drunken smile plastered on my face as i greeted everyone, saying hello as politely and slow as possible, trying to come off soberer than what I really was until my eyes landed on the one person, I wanted to see but was scared off.
"Jake!" was all I could get out
"Hey" was all he said...
There was an awkward silence at the table. I was just staring at Jake, he was returning my gaze, and everyone else at the table was just staring at the two of us, except for Quil and Embry who were watching a busty blonde who had just walked past and onto the dance floor. Sighing Bella reluctantly took the seat next to Jake's, making sure they had plenty of space between them. It was obvious to say, neither knew how to act around the other. A voice from the end of the table broke the silence.
"So you're the famous Bella?" the voice asked singing out her name. I think it may have been Paul, possibly Jared. Either way I threw a questioning glance at the guys who had finally returned their attention back to the table, both just shrugged their shoulders, turning my attention to Jake, I noticed he had the same confused look on his face as me. Biting the bullet I asked;
"the famous Bella?"
"yeah, Charlie, your dad right, is talking about you all the time 'my Bella just made honour roll' 'my Bella just got accepted to University on a full scholarship', so yeah, the famous Bella" he finished flirting a little "I'm Paul by the way" he said reaching his hand out to grab mine
I stared on shocked as he raised my hand to his lips and laid a soft kiss on in. I was blushing to say the least until I heard a low growl coming from somewhere at the table.
"so Bella,.." a lady, Emily I think, who was sitting at the head of the table on who I was presuming to be her boyfriend asked "..down for a wedding, huh?"
"yeah, Angela Webber's.." I said pointing off in her direction again "..and Eric Yorkie's. I've known Angela almost as long as I've known.." gesturing my hand towards Embry, Quil and Jake "these guys" I finished.
"Webber, why does that name ring a bell?' the presumed boyfriend, Sam asked.
"her dad is the local minister in Forks, he will actually be performing the ceremony" I replied easily, taking another sip from my drink.
"I thought the minister's daughter was only like 18, pushing 19" he replied
"and how old exactly do you think I am?" I challenged
"but isn't she too young to be getting married," he continued like he hadn't even heard my question.
" I guess.." I dragged out tracing a finger over the rim of my glass "when you know, you know" I offered with a soft smile. He seemed to accept my answer, gazing at Emily and relaxing visibly in his chair.
"So when's the big day" Emily asked
"a week from Friday. They plan on a church wedding in Forks, photo's in La Push at the beach's if the weather cooperates, and then honeymoon in Barbados"
"oooooh, Bar-bad-os" she replied with a laugh
"yeah", I just laughed along with her. I was starting to get to like this girl.
"so you must be pretty busy, getting everything ready?" she continued on as the others went off into their own conversations.
"most of it's done. Just getting down to the nitty gritty jobs now" I supplied. "obviously tonight we are getting the bachelor/bachelorette parties. Angela and I will stay down here in PA until Tuesday. On Monday we need to go dress shopping and her final fitting, before heading off to find the proper attire for her wedding night" I laughed
"proper attire for the wedding night?" Quil asked with a raised eyebrow.
"yeah, you know, lingerie.." I said raising my eyebrow playfully. "it's the maid of honour's job, to make sure the first night as husband and wife are.. well sexy and downright raunchy" I continued teasing. Quil shifting uneasily in his seat and I just laughed it off taking another sip of my drink, noticing that Jake had stayed relatively quiet throughout our exchange.
"So Bella, you got yourself a date for the wedding?" Paul asked, rejoining our conversation.
I blushed at Paul's obvious innuendo. "normally, the Maid of Honour is paired with the Best Man, but seeing as the Best Man is Mike Newton. They thought it was best that we bring separate dates"
"that didn't answer my question?" Paul stated. I was about to answer when another growl generated around the table, it was loud enough to stop Paul in his track, but quiet enough that passer by's couldn't hear it. I was shocked still in my spot.
"No, No date" I answered simply just to stop the awkward silence that had fallen upon the table once again. I chanced a glance to the occupant sitting beside me, figuring out that the noise was coming from Jake. I was touched that he still cared enough about me, to get upset by something a simple as Paul hitting on me. It kind of reminded me if the old days when he would always stick up for me when the guys were ragging on me for not doing something or having my little 'pms rages' as they had called them. I had that familiar flutter in my stomach, the same one which led me in my actions on that fateful night last summer.
A gust of wind from somebody walking past blew his aftershave right at me. The scents of the ocean, forest and a little bit of musk all reminding me of the intimate moment we shared, instantly making my panties wet. Jake shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Slightly forcing his seat to slide closer to mine. I could feel that familiar heat radiating of his body towards me. Sub-consciously making me move in closer to him, our arms almost touching. I could feel his leg slide up closer to me under the table. I tried to focus on anything other than the man sitting next to me. My breath caught in my throat as I felt a hand slide up the inside of my leg, stopping at the hand resting in my lap, grasping it in his. In that precise moment I forgot everything that happened in the past and focused more on the now. Acting on instinct I returned the gesture, clutching like a life line to his hand encasing mine. I felt the shock in his body as if he expected me to pull away. I turned slightly in my seat so that I was facing him more, consciously leaning in closer to him shoulders almost touching.
I felt eyes on me, looking up to see Quil, Embry, Sam, Emily and Paul just staring out us. We quickly pulled apart, but neither one of us willing to let go of the others hand. I was embarrassed and confused at what had transpired in front a bunch of people I had only just met and two of my oldest friends. I would never be so forward with anyone and I would never do it in public either. With a knowing smile directed at both of us Embry declared "sooooooooooooo, awk-ward". I was beyond embarrassed.
"anyway.., what have you been doing to keep yourself busy in this past year" Embry continue, as everybody returned back to their conversations.
"Not much. Studying and work mainly. Apparently according to my mum I have no life" I scoffed taking another sip of my drink with my free hand.
"WHAT" Quil yelled, slamming his fists down on the table, making me jump a little in surprise.
Jake moved quickly in front of me, as if he was protecting me from something. I tugged on his arm gently, trying to coax him back next to me. I was making small circles with my thumb over his hand, forcing himself to look over his shoulder at me. Assessing to make sure I was okay, before settling back next to me.
" yeah.." I said not quite yet ready to take my eyes off him 'I got asked out a few times, but something just.. Didn't feel right" I said turning back to the guys.
"None of them, measuring up to me hey?" Quil Joked. Apparently not everyone got the joke, as I felt Jake rip his hand from mine as he pushed his chair back violently, storming out of the room. Sam following suit I turned back and looked at the remaining occupants of the table. I was confused and a hurt at what had transpired between Jake and I in a space of only a few moments.
"is he always like this?" I asked
"ever since last summer, he's been.. I don't know. Not.. himself" Quil said
I gave my apologies and goodbyes to everyone at the table excusing myself, kissing both Embry & Quil on the cheeks, promising to come out and visit them as soon as I was back in Forks. I walked off back to the ladies at the hen's party. I need to say my goodnights and then go find out what the hell was up with Jacob.
As soon as Angela seen me she squealed "Belllllllllllllllllaaaaaa, where did yoooooooou goooo" she said almost tripping over thin air.
"I found some old friends, thought I would catch up a little: I replied as I clutched onto her arms to stop her from tumbling over again.
"any way, I just came over to let you know that we were going to head for a coffee to catch up, and I will come check on you tomorrow" I finished. Angela just nodded her head along to what I was saying, not really paying any attention to what I was saying. I turned and looked at Emma and Jenny. "make sure she gets back to her hotel room.. okay and alone!" I said pointedly
"aye aye captain" they both said with a mock salute. I laughed to myself before giving Angela a hug and walking off in the direction I seen Jake and Sam go. I needed to talk to him about what just happened, get some sort of glimpse as to where we now stood.
I step outside and stand at the end of the pavement, looking around for any signs of Jake or Sam. Scanning the crowd outside various clubs I notice the usual promiscuous ladies rubbing up against their unfortunate dates for the night, the underage kids trying to fool security into letting them in, the odd goth dude and chick acting like they could care less about what was happening around them. Not having any luck in spotting either of them, I decided to just call it a night. Wrapping my arms around my midsection, head down staring at the pavement, I began my walk back to the hotel which was only 2 blocks up from the club. Walking past an alleyway I heard the sound of someone kicking at some debris on the ground. I lifted my head only slightly catching a glimpse of two figures standing basically a foot apart from each other. I wasn't looking for trouble so I just put my head back down and started to continue on with my journey when I hear one of the figures call out my name.
"BELLA, wait stop!" the voice yelled. I was paralysed scared for a second before I realised that the voice was in fact Sam. I stood looking off in the direction of Sam and the figure that I now made out to be Jake, watching as Sam turned and said a final 'something' to Jake before making his way down towards me, smirking as he passed by. My eyes never strayed from his watching as he retreated back in to the Club. I turned tentatively back to the alley way, trying to figure out how to proceed.
"Jake?" I asked cautiously, walking a little further into the alley
"I'm here" was his simple reply, as he turned and began walking leisurely towards me, a unseen force seemingly pulling us towards each other.
"I… I jus.. just wanted to make sure you were okay" I said as we finally stopped face to face , half way down the alley
"I'm okay" he answered casually, reaching out to seductively run his hand along my jaw line, finally cupping my cheek.
"really?" I asked getting a little annoyed at his obvious attempts to avoid any real discussion
"Yes, REALLY.." he almost shouted at me ".. I get it daily from the guys, Dad, even Charlie and now YOU.." he continued "..why can't everybody just leave me alone" he finished in a barely there whisper.
I was shocked to say the least. I thought tonight we had finally started to make those steps towards making amends, but it seems we were still frozen back in that summer.
"I'm.. I'm sorry.." I stuttered "..I.. I just thought.. back in the club.. I was.. you were.. we were.. then.. you left.. I'm sorry, so sorry for everything" I completed barley whispered, the tell tale signs of a tears about to make an appearance. Taking a deep breath, I remembered my earlier mantra.
"actually, you know what.." I said getting on the defensive "I'm NOT sorry. I'm not sorry for coming out tonight to celebrate my friends last few nights as a single woman, I'm not sorry for getting up on that stage and singing, I'm not sorry for hanging out with your friends tonight, I'm not sorry for what happened back in there with you tonight, AND I'm not sorry for what happened last summer. Do you know what I am sorry for though?' I asked, pausing for affect but not waiting for an answer "I'm sorry that I chickened out that night. I'm sorry that I left you standing on the beach, then again for slamming the door in your face at my house. That's what I'm sorry for."
We were barely inches apart now, lips almost touching when I was all of a sudden hauled up against the cold brick wall, my back firmly planted in place. Jakes hands were on either side of my head, stopping any ill fated attempts to escape another attempted tryst. I looked up into his eyes, watching as he fought some sort of inner battle with himself.
"you.. you don't regret it?.. last summer?" he asked as if it was the million dollar question
I was unable to speak, barley able to move any part of my body really, but I managed to nod my head slowly in answer to his question
Before I could even blink, his lips were on mine, his body forcing me further into the wall if that was possible. His hands cupped my face holding me in place, mine tangled in his hair, remembering the soft silky feel of it, I revealed in the feeling of his lips on mine, his body flush against mine. I began to grind me lower body against his, trying to ease the friction that was swelling there. I felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip, begging for my permission to give him my all. I gave it to him readily. Tonight I was done with think and all for wanting. And what I wanted. Was this man standing in front of me. His tongue entered my mouth with ease, exploring every inch I could offer, before turning it off into a heated frenzy, his tongue everywhere, battling with mine for dominance. I couldn't get enough of him, it was like I was on some sort of universal ecstasy, my hands were all over his body, running underneath his shirt, up and down his abs, re-familiarising myself with every inch of his warm coated skin. It felt like a year's worth of pent up sexual frustration was finally being released.. for both of us.
In a single moment my hands were at his head again, tangled in his hair pulling him closer to me, his hands now trailing down the outside of my dress, stopping at my waist before he hoisted me up and held me against the wall, my legs wrapping themselves around his body, his lips on mine again, this time less frenzied.. more passionate.
He began to kiss along my jaw line, all I could do was hold him there, before he forced his lips down my neck, nipping as he went. His hands worked on moving the skirt of my dress up, inch by inch until it was around my waist, leaving the lower half of my body exposed, except for the tiny lace panties I had on. Before I knew what was happening my panties were ripped straight from my body, Jake leaning his head back up against mine, panting heavily before he took a deep breath as if he was smelling something. Satisfied with whatever he was doing his lips were on mine again, hands tracing small circles up my leg until he reached my inner thigh. Adding more pressure and slowing the movement down, forcing a soft moan from me.
He was quickly at my folds, looking me in the eyes for confirmation, my lips were on his without a thought, my body grinding on his encouraging him to continue. He gently ran his hand up and down my centre, feeling just how wet I was before gently taking a quick swipe of my clit with his thumb, earning a slightly louder moan from me.
"more" I breathed into his ear
He just smirked and thrust a finger straight into my centre, earning himself a loud moan.
"oh.. ohhhh god.. Jake" was all I could mutter
He started off slow, thrusting in and out, long and short, slow and fast. When he thought I was ready enough he added another finger, then another, picking up the pace keeping a constant rhythm.
"GOD.. JAKE" I screamed, not caring if anyone walked past and heard us, let alone seen us.
"So.. soo warm" he said, his eyes looking straight into mine
He began to pick up his pace, the thrusting becoming harder. I threw my head back, arching my body into his.
"jake.. j... I'm close.. almost.. oh god.. don't stop.. I'm gonnnnaaahhhhhhhhhhhggggg" and that was all I got out before I let out an ear piercing scream as I had my first ever orgasm, only to have the scream silenced by Jake kissing me with all his strength, letting me ride the orgasm out on its full capacity. Once I had stop screaming and calm down from my high he removed his hand from me, wiping it clean on the wall before turning to see if we had caught the attention of anybody passing by. I just stared up into the dark star filled sky, trying to get my breath back.
Jake placed a gentle kiss at the base of my neck, forcing me to return my attention to him. I smiled at him, which he returned.
"Jake, that was.. amazing" I said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips before I felt him lower me to the ground. Holding me until I found my footing, releasing me only when he was satisfied my knees would give out. I began to straighten my dress out reminding myself to buy some more panties when I went shopping with Angela on Monday.
"you have no idea, how badly I have wanted to do that since I was like 15" he said slightly above a whisper as he leaned into my ear, stopping me as I went to straighten my hair
"probably about as badly as I wanted you to do that to me" I shot back, mischievously.
He just laughed before leaning in to plant a long hard kiss on me. Once breathing became a necessity again, we pulled apart. I looked at him for a minute before grabbing his hand and dragging him with me out of the alley.
"where are we going?" he asked with a bit of excitement
I turned to him face him, still pulling us out of the alley and simply said.
"My hotel room"
We were at my hotel within minutes, if I didn't know any better I would have said that Jake basically flew there. We were all over each other on the way to my room. I pushed him up against the back of the elevator, my lips on his, leg raised wrapped around one of his legs, pulling him closer to me so that I could grind my body up against him. My hands running up and down his shirt covered chest. The ding announcing we had arrived at my floor almost didn't distract me, but the lady waiting to board the elevator did.
I blushed crimson, lowering my head in embarrassment. Jake just let out a deep stomach laugh, excused us, before pulling me out of the elevator and down the hall, his lips on mine again, distracting me enough, that I almost missed my room. I stopped Jake enough to pull the key card for my door out of my clutch and enter it in the slot, giggling like a school girl as I opened the door and pulled Jake in by the collar of his shirt,
Shutting the door behind me with a silent thud of my foot, I was picked up and forced against the wall, his lips attacking my neck, hands working on the zipper of my dress. My hands were working their way down to the button of his jeans, undoing the first two buttons and moving to get the zip. As my dress fell to the floor, leaving me in nothing but my strapless bra, I lifted his shirt over his head leaving him in nothing more than his pants. He slowly began kissing me again, pushing his body against mine, forcing me to slowly walk backwards removing my bra as we went. He manoeuvred me towards the king size bed, only stopping once my knees hit the edge, sending me backwards, before removing his pants. I was awestruck. His cock was like nothing I had seen before. It was so big, and round and all I could think about was what he was going to be doing to me with it. I was panting, out of breath already, but not willing to stop. This was what I had been waiting for and I didn't think I could hold out much longer. He was looking down at me,
"Jake.." he froze, clearly thinking that I was going to change my mind "..oh.. no.. no.. no.. I want to do this, I do, but can we please, please do the slow soft love making after. Right now, I need you. I need to feel you. Inside me, NOW!"
He didn't need to wait for anymore encouragement, he was at my entrance. His cock lined up perfectly.
"Your sure?" he asked, the tip of his length just idling inside my opening.
I pulled him in for a kiss, my other hand forcing his hips into mine, we both let out a muffled moan, embracing the feeling of being this close to one another.
"Jake.." I whispered as he held still. He looked as if he was debating with himself.
"jake.." I said again, grabbing his attention "..move" I whispered leaning up into him, rocking my hips a little, before kissing him.
That was all the encouragement he needed. He thrusted into me, experimentally at first, trying to gage what felt right for both me and him. Once he figured out what felt good and what had me withering underneath him, he became more confident in his movements. Mirroring what had previously done in the alleyway, taking long slow thrust, before changing it up to long hard thrusts, forcing his cock into my pussy.
"Jake.. oh god.. Jake" I moaned, trying to keep pace with him.
"Fuck Bella.. So warm.. so.. fucking.. tight.. fuuuuuck.." he said, pronouncing each word with a hard thrust.
My head was almost touching the headboard of the bed, as he continued to push into me. He stopped momentarily, pulling out only to grasp my leg at the knee raising it until it was resting straight up in the air, creating a new angle for us. He entered me again, holding my leg to his shoulder while resting his weight on the other.
"let me know if I hurt you" he instructed as he began to pick up a slower pace. I just nodded me head, moving my body in time with his.
"ohh god.. feels soooo… sooooo good" I moaned, back in my own world of ecstasy. I could feel Jake's cock pulsing inside me, knowing he was close to his release; I arched my back off the bed a little, resting on my arms, my hands in his hair, pulling his face into mine for a soaring heated kiss
"bella.. fuck.. I'm going to.. fuccck.. bells aaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnngh" he screamed as he climaxed, me following straight after him. It was floating. I felt like there was nothing in the world that mattered more than the two of us in that moment. It was like I had found my own personal drug, my very own form of heroin. And like a junkie, I was addicted.
Jake's sweat covered body fell on top of mine, both of us trying to rein our breathing in. After a few seconds, he rolled off me and laid idly next to me on his side.
"Bells.. are you okay" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
I turned onto my side , leaning up and resting my head on my hand. Looking him the eye, I reached my free hand out and cupped his cheek.
"Never been better" I said with a soft smile, my hand tracing the outline of his jaw. He grabbed my hand and raised it to his lips, kissing it softly before pulling me into him.
" I think it's time you and I got some rest" he said kissing the top of my head, while wrapping an arm around my waist as I laid across his chest.
I was about to state my argument when an incriminating yawn escaped my mouth. I looked up sheepishly at him, to see him looking down at me with a raised eyebrow.
"okay, okay. Time for rest" I surrendered, laying my head back on his chest over his heart. The last thing I remember being the sound of his heart beating away.
Tha-thump, tha-thump, tha-thump, thaaaa…..
A/N:Okay people. I have been horrible. I have been asking for these reviews, but never thanked those of you who did. So to everyone who has, THANK YOU SO MUCH I do really appreciate it, and like I said before, the reviews are what pushes me to write more chapters. I know I'm not the best of writer's but as I said at the start. This is my first time writing a fic and this is all a learning curve for me. So please continue to send in the reviews or any hints as to what I can improve. In other words let me know if I shouldn't give up my day job anytime soon.
Until next week,
Enjoy xx
