Alright, :) here is chapter 7 :)

have funn :)

Friday

NPOV

Ring

Argh, stuid alarm clock. I hated whoever invented them. I snapped it quiet and forced my self to get up from bed. I did my normal morning routine ate a bagel sandwich, because I didn't like the cafeteria food, and headed out the door.

As I fiddled through my bag, but I couldn't find my keys. Oh yeah. I lent my car to Jake. Almost forgot. As I remembered why Jake had my car, more memorize of the weekend rushed through my head. I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.

He was the sweetest. When he came over Saturday night, I was elated that he was sleeping under the same roof as me. Alone in the house. Then when he took me out all over L.A yesterday, I had the best time in a long time. When I heard that he had no ride to work, I shyly considered offering my car. But I don't know what he would think. But he urged me to say it. He only agreed because he knew that I had a ride with Jasper.

As I walked over to their house, I wondered how I was going to live like this. I knew I couldn't keep this a secret any longer. Alice already suspected something was up. And whatever she knows, Jake will ultimately find out. So I figure I would have to tell him myself.

I reached Alice's house, just as they were kissing goodbye on the front porch.

"Eww, you guys get a room." I said, and pretended to gag.

"Go away," said Alice as she sucked on Jasper's neck. Disgusting.

"Come on, we're going to be late for work." I said, as I jumped into passenger side of Jasper's car.

"What do you want?" Jasper asked, as he kissed her one final kiss, and walked over to the car.

"I need a ride please," I said, already pulling my seat belt on.

As he jumped into the driver's seat, Alice waved goodbye and walked back inside. "Last time I checked," he said as he put the keys in the ignition. "You already have a car."

We pulled out of the neighborhood, and headed for the high way, driving at 150 km/h. I noticed that Jasper and Jake both did not like driving slowly and couldn't stand the normal roads. They always headed for the high ways even if the destination was only 10 min. Away.

"Jake has it," I said simply.

"Why?" he chuckled,

"He did tell you guys. But you were too busy having sex upstairs to notice." I giggled, but he didn't even as much as flinch. "His car broke down, and I offered mine until his was fixed."

"Awe. How sweet." he replied, "you know, only one who is falling for someone might offer them their car,"

He looked over at me and winked. I blushed furiously, "Keep your eyes on the road Jasper." I said.

He laughed, "Come on Nessie, I see your faces, and every time you two are around each other, it's like you don't care about the rest of the world." he said matter of factly.

"Okay first of all, that sounded completely corny, second, how would you know if you're too busy sucking faces with you girlfriend?"

He just laughed, turned on some music, and we drove to the hotel in silence.

I spent the day doing some random boring desk work. Again. Sometimes I think that this Job will not get any more interesting. I also spent time fantasizing about that man who stole my heart a few days ago.

Jake was in all my thoughts all the time. I couldn't help but earn his presence again, and his touch. I didn't know how in the world I was going to survive this whole week without him. I was seriously thinking about telling him how I felt. It didn't feel right to keep it all inside. And now Jasper and Alice know, so what am I supposed to do?

After what seemed like forever, it was finally time to go home.

I packed my stuff and headed out of my office, I saw Jasper stranded in a hallway, surrounded by girls fawning over him. The usual. Jasper was really good looking, an honestly if Jake and Alice did not exist, I might actually like him, but totally not the way I like Jake now.

I had to go and save him from those sluts. Alice has taken me aside once, when she found out I worked with him, and she made me pinky promise that I would protect him from the 'female species' as she calls them.

"Hey Jasper, You coming?" I asked, as some of the girls looked at me and wondered if I was a threat. So, I add "we're going to be late for our date tonight, come on." I walked through the wall of hores, linked my arm though his and dragged him away.

"Jesus, thanks Nessie," he said, finally breathing, "I owe you one,"

"I want nothing more than for you to shut up about what could possibly be happening between me and Jake." I stated.

Then he laughed all of a sudden. "No can do, my sweet little sister, if he's looking like that, holding a flower like that, and smiling like that, there is something other than friendship going on." and continued to laugh, so loud, that people started staring.

"Jasper, I don't-" but I was cut of when he pointed my head towards the parking lot.

.god.

My heart lurched up my throat.

Seriously. Just because I haven't seen him for 12 hours, doesn't mean he's allowed to got that much hotter.

Jake was standing casually against the hood of my car and in his hand was a beautiful cream colored flower, that looked even more beautiful than the previous ones he'd gotten Saturday.

My legs automatically changed courses and headed to Jake. Jasper continued to laugh as he walk back to his own car, "see you later Nessie." he said, but I couldn't bring my mouth to work so I just nodded.

My feet seemed to work on their own now, because I couldn't feel them as I reached Jake and he pulled me into a hug.

"Hey, I missed you," he said, into my hair. "and this is for you," he handed me the flower, and set me down beside him on the hood of my car.

When I couldn't reply, he took it the wrong way, "I mean, if you don't want me here I could go, but I just thought that since you did let me borrow your car, I should do the same favor, and drive you back home." he said, looking confused at my lack of speech.

Then my body seemed to work again, "No. I mean, I missed you too, I'm glad you came, I don't know what I would have done this whole week without you." I blushed, as I bent down to smell the flower. He smiled, "it's beautiful, thank you," I leaned up to give him a proper kiss on the cheek.

He walked me over to the passenger side, and opened the door for me. He made his way around and started out of the parking lot. As I expected, he made his way onto the high way, and sped of towards my house.

The rest of the week flew by the same way. He would leave at around seven and I would usually go to sleep early because I became bored without him there. The next day jasper would laugh again as Jake would be standing in the same spot against the hood of my car, holding a flower which seemed to be more beautiful than the previous one.

I didn't know what we were now, friends, didn't quite fit the description. Did friends usually give flowers everyday? Did they miss each other just for not seeing one another for more than twelve hours?

But I didn't know what else to call it, I felt very gooey when I was with him, as though he completed my life, which was a bit freaky, seeing as we only met a few weeks ago. But sometimes I saw these clues that might mean that he felt the same way about me, like the fact that he would stare at my body every time we saw each other, he would always look like me when I start staring at his muscular glory. Although I didn't know what he sees in me, I let it flow, because wasn't complaining about how he would hold my hand as we walked, or how he would act like a well behaved gentleman.

But even if I felt these things, and I thought that he felt these things, doesn't mean that we are a couple. Right? I feel so confused sometimes when I started thinking about this subject.

He also doesn't even notice that every time we're out in public every female eye is staring at him,, as if they were trying to undress him visually. I didn't know until then what jealousy felt like, and I understood why Alice was always protecting Jasper from the female species. But what confused me, and irritated me more, was that I didn't have the right to be jealous and protective of him. He wasn't mine in the first place; everyone knew that we were Jake and Nessie, the best of 'friends'.

Oh, how I loathed that word now.

Friday seemed to drag on forever. I purposely banged my head down on my desk as I finished checking over the files- for the tenth time.

Then I jumped up as someone knocked on the door, "What?" I wasn't in any mood to be nice.

The door opened and Mike came in, another co-worker of mine. "God, Nessie, you look like you're going to kill, good thing it's only me,"

"It's Friday evening, and I want to go home," I replied.

"Alright, I just stopped by to pick up the files."

"Finally, they're right here, please take them away from me,"

He chuckled, "Alright thanks," but he didn't seem to want to go.

"Do you need something else?" I asked.

"Oh nothing," he shook his head and sat down on one of my fluffy chairs. "Hey Nessie, is that guy, Jake or something, you're boyfriend or what? I see you two everyday, and you still didn't introduce me. I thought we were friends," he said, nonchalantly as he poked around my souvenirs.

He looked so carefree and childish, reminding me of Chris when he was little and didn't know any better, he was playing with one of my dad's office decorations and accidentally dropped it. It smashed into pieces and my dad was all for killing him.

I laughed, "No he's not my boyfriend Mike," I wish.

He glanced at me, "So you're available?" he looked up hopefully.

"Damn it Mike, I thought you just said we were friends, why do you have to ruin things?"

"Just kidding Nessie, you're like my little sister." He smiled, and went back to examining my souvenirs. "You know, these things are so cool, you could put them in a museum or something, and start a profit."

I laughed, "They're fake, Mike." and put my head back down on the desk as I willed the time to pass by faster.

Just then Jasper poked his head through the door. "Hey guys,"

"Great, now my office is a pit stop for everyone." I complained as Jasper and Mike greeted each other.

"Hey, Nessie. Why are you dressed up so nicely today? Jasper asked.

I blushed, infact, I had tried to dress up today, in hope of impressing Jake, but I couldn't admit that infront of the boys.

"Yeah, are you trying to impress someone?" Mike added, winking at me.

"No, what are you guys talking about, I'm not trying to impress Jake," I tried to hide the lie.

But I Immediately noticed that I had said something wrong, because they burst out laughing. My face turned ten times red. "What?" I asked.

Mike bobbed out, from the ground, tearyeyed, and said, "I don't think I said anything about Jake, Nessie." Then continued to laugh his balls off.

If possible, my face became redder. How could I be so stupid? I grabbed my bag, and stormed out of my office.

"Hey, wait up Nessie, I'm coming," Jasper said, laughing away the last of his laughter.

Mike caught up with us in five seconds, and started complaining. "Damn. This hob is so boring these days, we should get a raise or something. I mean sereously, it's so boring."

"I know, right." Jasper added, "I swear, there hasn't been anything interesting going on since…since Angelina Joli came to stay over five years ago, and I didn't even work here then."

They continued to complain to eachother, but I didn't join their conversation. I spotted my car, Jake leaning agaisnt it. I smiled as I walked over to him.

"Hey," he greeted me, giving me one of his famous bear hugs.

"Hey," I replied. Leaning up to give him a kiss on hi cheek. I really wanted to lean over a bit more, to reach his lips, but I didn't want to risk it. It might ruin whatever kind of relationship we have.

He held out a bouquet of flowers, "I got you these,"

I took it and stared at the beautiful flowers, "What is this for, you usually get me one flower." I inquired.

He shrugged, "It's Friday." He smiled "Don't you like it?"

I descided to bring out the brave side of Nessie. I couldn't take this anymore, and I couldn't wait until I could call him mine.

"I love it, thank you." I couldn't help but lean up to give him another kiss, closer to his lips than usual. I felt his heart beat faster under my hands, which were resting on his chest. I let my lips linger. I lead him over to the driver's seat, and he seemed to be deep in his thoughts because he didn't notice where we were until I put the keys in the ignition.

But this was just the start, I planned on teasing him until he gave in.

He drove through the highway, and I basked in his prescence as much as I could, because I knew he would leave after a couple of hours.
