Jacob's POV

I was dumbfounded. Why would Bella lie to me?

I pressed farther ahead on my path.

I knew she was hiding something. But she distracted me with thoughts of a promotion.

Ah!

I kicked a tree in anger and started running.

I didn't actually know where I was going until I got there. As soon as I knocked on the Cullen's door, it was flung open by none other than Renesmee.

Before I even said anything, I took her into my arms and hungrily kissed her, picking her up and setting us down on the couch.

She tore her lips from mine.

"Wow. Um, hi, Jacob." I smiled.

"Hi, Nessie. Is this, uh, okay?" I said, more hesitantly. I didn't want to force her.

"Yeah. But what are you getting at?"

I gave her a sarcastic laugh. "What do you think?"

"Well, I'm not sure. I've never… done that before." But before I could interrupt, she held up her finger. "That doesn't mean I don't want to."

I smiled. "To the bed?" She nodded excitedly.

But before we laid down, I thought of something."Uh-oh, Nessie. Where's your dad?"

She continued kissing up and down my neck.

"Oh, don't worry about him. He's over at Bella-"She looked up. "Oops."

She backed away as my face got redder and redder. "What did you say?"

"N-nothing. It's noth-"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"Bella's! He's over at B-Bella's!" She said, choking on her tears.

I stormed out the door as I began to phase.

"Wait! Jake! P-please don't go!" She said, blocking the door. I threw her to the side. And once I was fully changed, I gave a loud howl and ran out into the rain.

…

"Wow. I just… I can't believe it. After all these years…" I said.

"I know. I, too, was surprised.

Edward and I were sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee (or at least I was. Even as a vampire, some things never change).

"Renesmee really wants to see you. And, if you don't mind me saying, I think it would be good for both of you."

I smiled. "I do, too."

Then I looked into his eyes. Oh, those eyes. Like warm pools of melty buttery-ness and joy. I want-

"Bella." He said, interrupting my thoughts. "Are you… all right?"

I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"Yeah. Just lost in your eyes." Then I realized what I had said. If I were human, my whole face would be flushed with red.

"I mean- I didn't-"

"That's fine," He said, chuckling.

I smiled shyly. "Sorry."

He sighed. "It's really nice to see you again, Bell-. Isabell-"

"Bella. Bella is fine."

He smiled. "Bella." He said it slowly, reintroducing the name to his mouth.

Ring!

"Oh. I'm sorry, that's me." I said, looking down at my phone. It was Jacob.

In a split-second decision, I pressed end.

"Not important," I said.

"Good. I was wondering. Would you like to go out with me tonight? As friends. It would be nice to… catch up."

I tried to seem blasé while I was screaming and dancing on the inside. "I'd… love to."

He looked at his watch. "Well, it is 8:00. Do you want to go now?"

I nodded, then we got up and after I grabbed my purse, headed towards the door.

Right before he left, he took my hand.

I couldn't help noticing how perfectly it fit into his.
