Chapter five
Our first date...what could go wrong?
All day today I laid in bed with Bella in the crook of my arm nothing to do because under Carlisle's strict orders I was to wait one more day before walking anywhere. Yet watching old AFV's with Bella hearing her laugh whole heartedly again was worth being laid up. Carlisle came in around six to check me out saying I can get out of this bed tomorrow. They pure relief I felt at his words overwhelmed me causing me to squeeze Bella closer to me.
Looking down into her chocolate brown eyes her bright smile mirroring my own face all I wanted to do was kiss her but I couldn't not yet. That one kiss didn't count when she was scared and threw herself at me. I want to give her the whole thing all the things girls seem to dream of. Looking into her eyes just letting the words fall out of my mouth saying "Will you go on a date with me tomorrow Bella?" She looked at me eyes wide before smiling brightly nodding a yes.
All I wanted to do was back flips but I think Carlisle would kill me first. She nestled her head back in the crease of my neck snuggling into my arm falling asleep almost instantly. Laughing softly at her but being taken aback at the one fact that has been running through my head constantly she picked me. She could have been immortal living forever eighteen but she turned it down to have as Leah calls it "puppies" with me. I won't deny that I've always wanted it to turn out this way.
Yet I don't want her to be angry later because of the choice she made. The pros and cons of her choice run through my head like wildfire in dry brush. All I want and need is the girl lying asleep beside me. At the edge of my mind however a little voice keeps saying "is it enough for her?" God I hope so because being so close to being with her and losing her is one thing. Yet having had Bella as my own then losing her would kill me. Nothing in this world would be worse than my life without Bella in it.
Brushing a fallen curl out of Bella's eyes I kiss her forehead softly before I to lie down under the blankets to sleep off my last night of confined bed rest. Early that morning I feel the bed dip slightly then even out in my half asleep/half awake state shaking it off. Waking up later than usual I turn over to wrap my arms around Bella to find the bed empty. Alarmed I search the room with my eye finding myself alone, looking down at where Bella had been I see a note on her pillow.
Grabbing the note quickly reading Bella's curvy handwriting which says
"Dear Jake, Sorry if I scared you not being here this morning I went home to be able to get ready for are date. Call me later when you're coming to get me.
Bella
After reading her note knowing she was just at her house with Charlie made my racing heart calm down considerably. I was actually a really excited to take Bella on our first real date just the two of us.
I finally decided on a like Burger Place just a little ways from the pier which I knew was hosting the fair which started up last night. I planned everything out to have the best date with Bella that was shape shifterly possible. Standing up slowly easily at first feeling my sore unused muscles protest the movement. Walking with a slight hobble at first before everything evened itself back to its place. Getting to the doorway was a huge accomplishment then getting into Sam's kitchen where Emily was cooking breakfast gave me my spring in my as Bella calls it my "overly confident swag."
Emily smiles up at me putting a hearty plate in front of me; I empty it easily giving her a hug before heading to my house. I jumped straight into the Rabbit that somehow just magically appeared at Sam's place gunning it quickly home. After parking in the driveway racing up the walk trying to hurry into the house to get ready for my date. Being stopped however by my father who rolled up to the door staring at me worriedly. Giving dad a sheepish smile before I raced off to my room to get ready throwing a quick "hi dad" over my shoulder.
Getting in my room I grabbed a blue button up shirt and one of my more fitted pair of jeans throwing them on quickly. Searching for about ten minutes for my other shoe which seemed to have ran away when I hear a throat clear. Looking up I see my father with my other shoe in his lap saying "You looking for this son? What's your hurry anyhow?" Grabbing the shoe from my father I say "I have a date today and I need to leave soon."
My father's eyebrow rose as he said "Oh really? A date you say do I know the little lady?" Grinning at my father I said "Actually you do dad it's Bella." Dad's eyes narrowed as he said "I thought she was with that cold one son?" My grin only widened as I said "She has been dad she left him to be with me." My father just looks at me warily saying "Just be careful where you place your heart son." Nodding absentmindedly at my father's advice as I quickly finished tying my shoe. I fixed all my last minute things before looking at the clock that read three thirty. Quickly calling Bella who says she'll be ready when I get there.
Running out to the Rabbit I felt like a little child on Christmas. Driving to Bella's house as slowly as possible giving her enough time to do whatever she needed to do arriving at her house a little bit after four. Walking slowly up to her front door I knock twice before Charlie answered letting me in. Charlie sits back down in his recliner his attention returning to his Giants game on. Waiting down here with Charlie trying to pay attention to the game going on but surprisingly I wasn't the least bit interested.
After about five minutes Bella came down the stairs in a pretty actually girly blue dress with her hair extra curly. Thinking I had died and gone to heaven from just looking at her. I gulped loudly a maddening smile growing from ear to ear on my face. Bella gave me a small smile telling Charlie a quick goodbye before we left her house. I opened the door for Bella being all gentlemanlike and such.
She laughed thanking the "kind sir" I rolled my eyes as I got into the driver's side of the Rabbit heading to La Push. Bella fiddled with the radio until we got to Momma's Burgers Bella and I's favorite place when we were kids. She grinned getting her small cheeseburger and extra large cheese fries. Talking and laughing about absolutely everything finishing up quickly. After dinner we got back in the Rabbit as I took her to the fair.
Watching Bella's eyes go wide as we walked in made me smile. Taking her hand going on tons of little kid rides. As we were walking Bella stopped looking at this big panda in a game stall. I spent about thirty bucks to win that bear which is twice the size of Bella. Pulling Bella after me getting us on the Ferris wheel even though Bella is afraid of heights she clings to my side with one hand holding the railing of the little basket in a death grip with the other. We quickly reach the top of the Ferris wheel when it makes a loud thud. The baskets have stopped moving and are basket happens to be the one farthest in the air causing Bella to start freaking out.
I look at her feeling really bad for bring her up here on something I know she doesn't like. Looking down at Bella I say "I'm sorry for getting us on this I just thought you might want to try something different see what it's like type of thing." Bella turns to me saying "Jake don't apologize you had no idea the baskets were going to stop moving and I'll be fine I have you here remember?" You want to look over the edge with me and see what's going on down there?" I nod down at Bella holding on tightly to her tiny waist to keep her steady as we lean over the edge of the basket to see below us. We see many fair workers scurrying around trying to fix the ride.
After about ten minutes at the highest part of the Ferris wheel we finally get brought down. Looking at my watch I see that it's almost ten so we go back to the Rabbit putting Bella's panda in the backseat going to the La Push beach Bella and I have been to so many times. Getting out of the car Bella beside me we walk hand in hand up the moonlit beach. We both carried are shoes letting the sand squish in between are toes before I pull us to a halt. Bella looks at me funny as I stand here looking at her in the moonlight.
Her skin practically glows in the white cast all her features taking on a mysterious quality. Bella leaned against a rock walk looking at me curiously when suddenly we hear a loud whoosh. Within a split second both Bella and I are soaked from the tide. Bella sputters looking like a drowned cat causing me to laugh. She narrows her eyes on me for a second before a mischievous look fills her eyes. I watch her as she walks towards the water toes level, ankle level, and then knee level. She turns around giving me a smile before turning her back on me. In a flash Bella's dress is on the sand in front of me and she is nowhere to be seen.
Accepting her challenge I strip down to my boxers running into the frigid water after her. I swear you could freeze something's off in here looking around until I see a glimpse of Bella's white back in the moonlight. Swimming after her until I was right behind her, she didn't know it of course so I lifted her out of the water laughing at her shriek of surprise before pulling us both down in the water. When we came up she pushed off me putting a distance between us and started splashing water at me laughing when it caught me straight in the face.
We swam around for ages until we saw light on the beach and a man's steps coming closer towards where we were. Swimming to shore quickly grabbing are close running back to the Rabbit before the patrol man caught us laughing the whole way. As we closed the doors Bella blared the heat in the Rabbit trying to roast me alive. While I turned on the car Bella looked at me alarmed saying "I left my dress!" Jumping out of the car I raced like a ninja to the side of that rock wall from earlier looking around the edge to see the patrol man edging closer.
Taking the risk I jump out from behind the wall grabbing Bella's dress my foot being caught in the patrol man's light as he chased after me. I sprinted with all my shape shifter strength to the Rabbit seeing Bella shouting from the car for me to hurry up. Sliding into the driver's seat tossing Bella her dress I sped out of the beach parking lot both of us laughing until are stomachs hurt. As I drove Bella slid her sand covered dress back on wiping as much sand off as possible. Pulling in front of Bella's house she turns smiling at me saying "I had a great time Jake."
Nodding at her she sat there for a second before getting out walking to her front door looking back at me one last time before going in. I on the other hand sat in my car furious with myself for missing my window. She waited for me to kiss her and I blew it! How could I be so stupid! I couldn't end are date like this I jumped out of the Rabbit running up to her front door about to knock when it opened and there she stood her eyebrow raised.
Pulling Bella in my arms I kissed her goodnight like I've been thinking about doing for years. When I pulled away from her she whispered "That was worth spying out the window for." Looking at her with my own raised eyebrow I said "Bella Swan have you become a creeper yourself? I never thought I'd see the day!" She rolled her eyes at me and said "Shut up you idiot and kiss me" and kiss her I did.
