A/N: hi guys, I know you're all hating on Edward at the moment so sorry about that, I think there may be a climactic moment right here. You'll just have to read to and see!

The title of this chapter is Latin, it means 'lovers are lunatics' I thought it went well with what happens here.

Chapter Seven – amantes sunt amentes

Jacob POV

I stared at him in shock, not believing what he had just said he looked at me with his eyebrows furrowed and his lips turned down in a contrite frown. When I didn't immediately respond he looked down and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"You made a mistake?" he looked up his bright greens eyes, gazing at me as he just nodded once. "and you're telling me this now"

"I was confused" at that moment Emmett walked out and looked around, seeing us a few feet away he nodded to himself and walked towards us, Edward closed his mouth stopping whatever he was about to say next.

"Hey guys, the show is about to start again"

"Give us a minute, we'll be back inside soon" he responded before I had a chance to, his brother nonchalantly shrugged and walked away from us. He looked back at me, his lips pressed together in a thin line before he spoke to me again.

"Can we just talk about this...please?" his voice sounded very strained as he ran a hand through his messy hair.

"I don't know why I should"

"Please Jake, just come round to my apartment after the show and let me explain" I shot him a frosty glare crossing my arms over my chest. "If you still don't want to talk to me, you can leave"

"Whatever, I'm only giving you five minutes of my time. I have plans for tonight"

"With Riley?"

"Yes, not that it is any of your business" turning away I strode back inside, slipping into my seat just as the music started up again. Riley just smiled and looked back to stage as I sat down, a quick glance to my right established that Edward was seated as well and so I looked back to the stage. The whole time I kept my eyes glued to the stage, not because of the show but rather so I wasn't tempted to...look elsewhere.

An hour later we all left going our separate ways, turning to Riley I placed my hand on his shoulder as we approached his car.

"Hey I have some things to do, so how bout I meet you at the movies, I won't be long"

"Sure, see you" he kissed me on the mouth lightly and I smiled at him not because of the kiss, but because Edward walked by at that moment. As horrible as it was, I grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back for a longer, deeper kiss breaking away he shook his head still smiling as he got in his car. Getting into my own car I pulled out of the parking lot, with a sigh willing for this day to be over.

~X~X~X~X~X~

Knocking on his front door I put my hands in my pockets, as I waited for him to answer the door. When he did, he had pulled off the sweater he had been wearing earlier, showing a plain white tee that clung to his chest showing his toned torso. Then he ruined the image it by opening his mouth.

"Managed to remove your tongue from Riley's mouth, I see" he commented dryly as I walked inside his apartment. Rolling my eyes I went to the kitchen and helped myself to a bottle of beer, I pulled the top off as I walked back into the living room. Taking a deep swig of my drink I looked at Edward, raising my eyebrows as he sat on the dark brown couch pushed against a wall to make room for his upright piano, guitar, bass and other bits and pieces.

"well you wanted to explain, so go ahead...unless you want to pry into my life even more?" he looked at me with an unfathomable expression, I simply leaned against the wall as far away from him as possible, trying to look nonplussed and probably failing miserably.

"Like I said before I was confused, I still am confused. I've never felt an attraction to any other...men before, you know that" he looked down at his lap, as he ran a hand through his hair making it more dishevelled.

"So that's your excuse for ignoring me? That wasn't a waste of my time, at all." Sipping my beer I pushed myself off the wall and took a few steps towards the door, when he shot up off the sofa and stood in front of me.

"Wait...I, I did want to kiss you and so I did. I don't regret that, it's just after what happened at your place I got scared and so I had to get away and clear my head. I needed to think straight...and I couldn't do that with you around" he paused for a moment and I took another gulp of my drink, feeling slightly uncomfortable as he was now standing fairly close to me.

"I panicked when I started thinking about Bella, so I choose to ignore you...but you were on my mind all the time"

"Should I feel good about that?"

"No...but you should know that I felt like such an idiot, when I saw how you reacted after you saw me at the party. I knew then I had hurt you, I just didn't know how to fix it" draining my beer I walked away throwing the bottle in the kitchen bin, hearing him sigh as I walked away. Walking back into the living room, we were both quiet as I walked towards him stopping when I was a few feet away from him.

"So...what now?" I said being the first one to break the silence.

"I don't know" he sighed deeply, running his hand through his hair again "can we just go back to being friends?" he looked exasperated and I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Yeah, we can be friends" smiling at him I held out my hand. He took my hand and shook it stiffly, laughing at how stiff he was I pulled him closer and hugged him. He hugged me back briefly before pulling away, we looked at each other for a moment. Looking at his left eye it had healed well, apart from some light bruising and a small cut on the side of his face, cringing at what I had done I took a step back.

"I'm sorry about that" I said motioning to his eye.

"It's nothing more than what I deserve" he shrugged off my apology with an offhand casualness.

"Well I should go" I made no move to step back as he took a step towards me, so he was very close to me.

"Yeah...or you could stay for a while"

"I guess, I could" all logical thought went out of the window when he took another step towards me so our chests were almost touching. Before I realised what was happening we were frantically kissing his hands all over my body as I pushed him back so his back was pressed up against the door. He moaned loudly as I ran my hands over his torso and slightly lower and I swear that sound alone made me hard.

"Jake" he moaned out as my hands made their way to his hair and tugging lightly. Hearing my name on his lips made me stop as a sense of déjà vu passed over me. Pulling away from him and breaking off the kiss he let out a groan as I moved away from him, so that I could think for a moment.

"Do you know what you're doing?" he pushed himself off the door and approached me a thoughtful expression on his face as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I know exactly what I am doing,Jake."

"I really don't want a repeat of what happened last time" he shook his head dropping his arms to his sides.

"I know I've been really confused lately but I know I want this, I want you" he put his hands on the sides of my face and kissed my chastely on the lips, pulling back and smiling that crooked grin at me.

"Are you okay?" I nodded and smiled back.

"Now I am" with those words I pressed my lips to his again, my hands going to his shirt and pulling it off eagerly. Not resisting as he pulled me into the bedroom whilst simultaneously undoing the buttons on my shirt and tugging it off, my hands dipped lower grabbing his ass as we tumbled onto his bed. With me underneath him I wasted no time in pulling off his jeans, leaving him in a pair of black briefs straining with his arousal and then pulling off my own jeans as he fumbled with the zip never once breaking off our heated kiss. When all that was separating us was a few thin layers of clothing, I rolled us over so I was now on top. Straddling him I rubbed my erection against his own and I felt like I got even harder when he let out another sexy as fuck groan into my mouth.

I loved being on top and seeing how completely he handed over control to me, as I lowered my lips to his neck laying small kisses all the way occasionally thrusting my hips forward. Next he did something that shocked me, his hand went down my chest and right to my clothed cock. Rubbing me slowly I started to moan loudly as his touch felt so good, inexperienced as he was when it came to being intimate with a man.

"tell me how it feels Jake" his voice was deep and filled with lust as he pulled my boxers down and pumped my cock in slow, languid movements.

"it feels fucking great" was all I could say as he continued his movements and I brought my lips down to his left nipple, remembering how he reacted last time. Biting down on it he cried out in ecstasy his movements stalling as my tongue circled his erect nipple and my hand yanked off his briefs so we were both completely naked. At this point he stopped entirely his lips turning down into a frown, looking up I stopped my movements as well putting my weight on my forearms on either side of his torso.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing...its just as you know, I've only ever been with women so I...I'm not quite sure...um...what to do..." smiling at him he furrowed his eyebrows getting all defensive. "what are you smiling for?" I shook my head.

"it's just you, your always so self assured and in control. Now I'm the one that has to take the lead, its different that's all" his forehead relaxed but his jaw was still tensed, leaned forward I kissed him and he responded right away. His lips parting to let my tongue tangle with his own as his hands moved to my shoulders holding me close to him. When he was more relaxed I tilted my head back slightly, so my lips were still brushing against his when I spoke again.

"just do whatever feels right" in response he thrusted his hips upwards so our dicks rubbed together. I let out a string of curses as I felt some pre cum drip down my cock. His eyes closed as he moaned my name over and over in pure rapture.

"Jake?" he whispered slightly apprehensive.

"yes" his eyes opened as his hands explored the contores of my chest.

"I really want your...um...your mouth on my...er..." smiling I trailed a finger down his chest slowly watching how he squirmed under my touch, stopping just before I got to his massive erection.

"Do you want me here Edward?" he nodded as words failed him and I grinned mischievously as I licked his cock from the base to the head, he swore loudly his eyes glued on me. Taking the head into my mouth I swirled my tongue round, licking up the trickle of pre cum as his fists clenched tightly the bedsheets bunching up in his hands. One of my hands wrapped round the shaft of his cock slowly pumping as I continued to tease the head of his cock with my tongue and my other hand went to his balls gently massaging them as his hips moved in time with my ministrations his eyes fluttering closed.

"fuck Jake, that feels so good" I didn't answer but I moved my hand on his dick faster slowly raking more of him in my mouth. His movement became more frenzied and on his hands went to the back of my head gripping my hair as his breathing sped up and more of those sexy moans and groaned escaped from his parted lips. Releasing his member from my mouth with a pop sound, I pumped him harder and took one of his balls into my mouth tugging lightly as I felt him tense up underneath me. My other hand went down to my own cock which felt like I was about come any second, I matched my movements as I let out a deep groan.

"C'mon Edward, cum for me" and he did almost immediately hot ropes of cum on my hand and his legs, his eyes were heavy lidded as he looked at me with a sated grin. Licked part of his come off my hand whilst keeping my gaze on Edward, he moaned at the sight then passed me a towel. Wiping his cum of with deliberate strokes I felt his cock harden again and saw his gaze drop to my own dick, realising that I hadn't cum.

He smiled at me then flipped me over so I was on my back in front of him, with a quick kiss he lips stayed on mine but his hands wandered down so that he was grasping my aching cock. I swore loudly just at his touch then moaned deeply as he started to move his hand up and down my hard dick picking up his pace as he wrapped his hand round his own cock. I kept my eyes open as his lips went to my ear his teeth grazing against my earlobe seductively.

"Fuck, your touch is amazing" I whispered lustily into his ear as my hands went down to his ass again, squeezing his pert butt. While I felt my body tense up as I felt my oncoming orgasm approach, I cried out his name as my eye rolled back and my hips thrusted into his touch as I came. He moaned my name at the same time and I felt his hot cum against my leg as he collapsed on the bed next to me.

Breathing heavily as we came down from our high he turned his head towards his green eyes bright as he grinned at me, he sat up grabbing the towel and cleaning us off. Chucking the towel in the laundry basket by the door he lay back with his hands behind his hand totally at ease. Sitting up my gaze drifted over Edward's naked body to the clock on the wall.

"Shit!" he looked confused as I jumped up and went searching for my clothes. "I am so late!"

"for what?" finding my boxers and jeans on the floor, I pulled them on as I searched for my shirt.

"I had plans with Riley"

"oh" turning to him as he pulled on his briefs I sat back on the bed with him.

"I made plans with him before, I can't just put my whole life on hold because you and I have an argument"

"okay then" he smiled and stood up, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back onto the bed. He landed on his back and I ducked my head and gave him a chaste kiss before reaching for my shirt at the end of the bed.

"see ya Ed" he rolled his eyes as he had a dislike for nicknames like 'Ed' or 'Eddie', but he let it slide and stood up picking up his shirt and pulling it on as he walked me to the door.

~X~X~X~X~X~

Fifteen minutes later and I was shutting my car door as I rushed to the cinema, making it across the street and walking inside I saw him looking at his watch as he sat on a bench in the foyer. He looked up as I got near him, a scowl on his face as he stood up and crossed his arms over his chest.

"the movie started over half an hour ago"

"I know and I'm sorry" I was genuinely sorry because despite whatever had happened with me and Edward, I did like spending time with Riley he was funny and always had a smile on his face. So he was a big change from moody and sarcastic Paul, this was meant to be our first official date even though we went all the way the first night we met. "I really am sorry, I can explain" he shook his head and sighed as he started to pull on his jacket.

"go on then"

"well...er...I was...I got caught in...traffic?" he raised his eyebrows in disbelief before shaking his head again and walking away from me and back outside.

"unbielivable" he muttered to himself as he walked to where his car was parked, I followed him as he walked faster.

"Riley, please let me make this up to you" he ignored me and got into his car thrusting the key into the ignition and attempting to start the car. The engine caught then spluttered and died, he tried again but the same thing happened.

"shit!" he got out of the car and opened the hood peering inside with a frustrated expression. "I have no idea, what I am looking for"

"let me have a look" he looked up at me as if he hadd forgotten I was standing there, sighing he took a step to the side as I looked under the hood. I saw immediately what the promblem was and so I looked back at him, shaking my head.

"you need a new battery, but its late. I'll give you a ride home and I'll sort it out for you in the morning"

"I can call a cab"

"c'mon it's just a lift you don't even have to talk to me, I am really sorry for being late, so please just let me do this for you"he clenched his jaw and then sighed again.

"fine, where is your car?" leading him to where I had parked we were silent the whole time, even as I pulled up to his apartment twenty minutes later.

"well here we are" he nodded and got out of the car, pausing before he walked away as I called out his name. "I'll need your car keys, so I can...er...have a look" he pulled out his keys from his inside jacket pocket and then he handed then to me, our hands brushing slightly as he did so.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight Jacob" he then walked away without looking back at me, sighing I started my car and drove home my thoughts drifting to Edward.
