Chapter:3
After we got ready for my birthday party, we had only 30 minutes to get to the place where the celebration was going to take place- Jake was already in the living room waiting for us to finish. We went down the stairs and as soon as Jake's eyes landed on me his eyes almost popped out of his face, it was a funny thing to watch. "Hi Jake"
"Um... Hi Bella... You look... amazing- so beautiful." I was blushing like crazy at that point.
"Um... Thank you... I guess?" It sounded like a question.
"Really, you look amazingly, awesomely beautiful." he didn't even acknowledge Renee's presence in the room. "Hello Jacob" my mom murmured, she was upset about him not noticing her. And I was laughing internally.
"Oh hello Renee and please call me Jake. By the way you look stunning" That put a smile on her face, she was glowing with satisfaction because of his comment.
"Well, we ve got to go now, the limo is outside waiting for us" mom was so eager to get drunk tonight. I don't know if I mentioned that Renee had a drinking problem, well now you know.
"Ok mom let's go, come on Jake" he was kind of day dreaming with a smile on his face and I was wondering what was he thinking of. As soon as I said his name he took my hand in his and went outside to the limo. My dad was talking to a man that looked like Jake just older, and I assumed that it was Billy Black- Jake's dad.
"Dad, are you ready to go now?" I asked Charlie.
"Yes honey, but first meet Mr. Black, Mr. Black this is my daughter Bella"
"Hi Mr. Black nice to meet you" I greeted him.
"Hello Bella it s my pleasure, and please call me Billy because Mr. Black makes me feel old." He said that with a smirk and a wink at me.
"Hi, dad." Jake called; you could see that Jake loved his dad by the tone of his voice.
"Billy, are you coming with us?" I asked.
"I don't want to be any inconvenience to you." he muttered in his deep voice. "Oh please! You are the dad of my best friend." OMG did I just say Jake is my best friend? I met him yesterday! "Ok, for my son's best friend the birthday girl . . . I'll do it"
"Let's go then" that was Renee if you didn't guess.
When we arrived there were people there already. People I didn't even know.
As soon as I entered the place everybody greeted me as if they d known me my whole life. I have to admit, it was nice to feel people's appreciation like that but it was just for this night because I wouldn t see them again.
"Bella are you ok?" Jake asked worriedly, he must have seen my face.
"Yeah I'm ok- Just happy!" I smiled.
"I'm your best friend remember, you can't fool me" "Well I'm just thinking about having a great night no matter what- since I have my best friend here with me!" It felt nice to be holding hands with him and feel him on my side. I could feel heat radiate from him like he was warm, in a good way I mean and at that moment he looked into my eyes and I felt butterflies in my stomach. Oh no! I think I love Jake!
"Bella are you sure you are ok?"
"Yes! Let's have some fun, you want to dance?"
"Yeah okay, of course." At that moment I got a feeling from The Black Eyed Peas started playing. And I have to say that Jake was an amazing dancer, the way he moved with the music and holding me at the same time made my heart go faster. How can I tell him that I have feelings for him? Does he feel the same way that I do? I don't know if I can tell him because I think he just sees me as a friend and I don't want to loose him. "Hey Bella I didn't know you danced this good." I was going to tell him the same thing. At that moment the song ended and we walked to my table to get some drinks. "Well my mom made me take classes since I was 5 and I found a passion for it. I love the freedom when you dance, it s like nobody can tell you how to move or what to do when you're dancing."
"What type of dance lessons do you take?" "My favourite is contemporary dance, but I take ballet also and salsa and belly dance and some ballroom, international actually"
"Wow!" was all he could say.
"Since I have lots of time I can keep up. I ll have to show you the dance room in the house." He cut me off-
"Wait, a dance room?"
"Yeah, lame I know. But I just love dancing so much that I had to ask for that room"
"No, I get it. I was just surprised about the whole thing. Can you teach me some salsa one day?" I thought he was mocking me but he was dead serious.
"Ok! I'll teach you. When do you want to start?"
"You tell me you are the teacher." he was very motivated to do this and I was happy that I was going to be spending more time with him. OMG!
"If you want we can start tomorrow?" I asked eagerly.
"No. Tomorrow I have a date . . ."
I was crushed at that comment and my smile disappeared. "Oh" was all I could say. He noticed the change.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah" I wasn't.
"Lie" how could he tell I was lying?
"What?"
"I can see it in your face, it s saying something else." I wasn't going to tell him I was jealous about his date. He can't know I have feelings for him.
"Its juts that I am so passionate about dancing that I was already planning the class in my head and you have to go to your date... maybe another time."
"Would you want to know who I'm going out with?" He asked- it was probably some beautiful model-like girl.
"Yes." I lied. No- I didn t want to know.
"Well it s this girl Bella who is my neighbour" he said that with a big smile on his face. WHAT?
"Wait! What?" OMG! OMG! OMG!
"Yes, Bella Swan the girl I was telling you about not long ago. You told me you knew her and that she was great."
"Oh yes I remember her."
"Soooo! What do you think?"
"I think she'll love to go"
"Great!"
He wanted to go on a date with me? "Yeah" I was thinking of my mom at that moment and how she asked him to come to the party with me behind my back and I knew at that moment this was her idea as well.
"If you want to" I replied.
"Yes- as friends of course, so don't get feeling uncomfortable" "No it s ok. I feel good with you." Too much info, oh no! too much info. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why would I say that to him I'm not supposed to tell him anything about my feelings.
"Great! I'll pick you up at seven?" he asked.
"Ok!" I agreed quickly. Tomorrow I will go out with Jake and start to know him a little more.
"I think we are going to be great friends Bella" Jake told me.
"Yeah me too"
It was almost time to go home then, I didn t want to leave, but I had to ask Jake something.
"Jake?"
"Yes"
"Did Renee tell you to ask me out? Because . . . if she did you don't have to do this." I murmured.
"No she didn't. This is all me."
"Ok! I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Good night Bella and have sweet dreams"
"You too Jake" and then he kissed my cheek. I felt myself blush beneath the shock at his action. Time to sleep and have sweet dreams as Jake told me too.
I went home feeling happier than ever before.
