A/N I wanted to thank everyone who reviewed. I enjoyed writing this chapter, so i hope you enjoy reading it.
I squinted into the darkness of the room, trying to make out objects. My head was pounding with an intensity to make me scream. Yep, Bella, your hungover, I thought. It took me a few minutes, but I soon realized my head was rested on Jake's bare chest. Bare? Oh no! I sprang forward to sit up. My eyes shifted everywhere, more adjusted now. Our cloths lay on the floor next to my bed. Could you guess what I looked at second? Myself, that's right. After seeing my bare chest I scrambled for the sheets to cover myself up.
That's when it hit me, I remembered, I remembered the whole thing. I sure was gone last night. In fact that's the only thing I remembered vividly. Faintly, I remembered Alice, she was crying. Everything before my first three beers was clear. Dancing? Yep, that was still there This room? Nope, I don't remember how I got in here. Just what I did in here. I smack my hand to my forehead, my head shaking.
I took that chance to look at Jacob. He was on his back breathing heavily. Smiling was just something I had to do. When Jake slept he looked so innocent...for lack of word. He looked more like the boy I had a crush on when we were kids. Ever sense I could remember, my father would take me to La Push with him when he went fishing. Jake and I would go down to the beach and play while Sue watched us. My mom left us when I was just a baby. Moved to Florida to pursue her life long dream of being an actress. Charlie would send me back to see her every summer and for thanksgiving break. Of course she remarried a nice man, that I had nothing against, he just wasn't my dad.
Anyways back to Jake. The sheets lay right above his hips, keeping anything important covered. Maybe I'm overreacting, I thought, Maybe it was bout time we had sex. I laid back down next to him, soon I found myself watching him. Unable to resist I planted a soft kiss on his cheek. He stirred the tiniest bit before huffing and turning over. I smiled to myself. Thump thump thump.
"Ugh!" I said gripping my head. I needed Aspirin. Beep! Beep! Beep!
I jumped at the sound of my phone. Again, I smacked my forehead, Charlie! Getting up slowly, so I wouldn't wake Jacob, I went to my pants pocket. I had 3 missed calls two from Alice one from my father, and 2 new texts, also form Alice. I read the texts first.
Bella! Major problem need your help... -Alice
Next message.
Bella! Answer your phone. Call me when u get up. -Alice.
She'd have to wait, I had to phone Charlie first to make sure my cover wasn't blown. I punched in the home phone and walked to the bathroom to left. After raping one of the sheets around me. Thankfully Jake didn't notice. This must have been a guest bedroom, I thought.. While the phone rang, I looked at myself in the mirror . I felt trashy, my hair was a complete mess. It was then that I prayed nobody remembered anything I did last night. I wasn't one to be like that. Regularly, I'm a shy person.
"Hello." Charlie came on the phone and I was caught by surprise.
"Oh hey, Dad. You called?"
"Oh yeah, well, I just wanted to check in, I guess" he sounded concerned. Probably because I hadn't answer.
"Yeah, Dad. I'm fine. Alice and I just stayed up real late, so we slept in. I uh..have to go see Jake today, I should be home in time for dinner." I said looking for the time. I found a clock right above the mirror. 3:17?
"Okay, Bells, I'll see you then...love you" he it cautiously the way he always did. It seemed like he was scarred to say it. Like one day I am just going to up and say "don't tell me you love me dad! I hate you" or something.
"Love you too, bye" he breathed a goodbye and hung up. Searching through the draws I found a comb and pulled it through my hair.
I can't believe it's already three. Wait it's three? Bella, doesn't Jake have to be at practice at four? Shoot!
I all but ran to Jake's side of the bed."Jake? Wake up." I kissed his forehead and he smiled, his eyes still closed.
"Bella..." he whispered now opening his eyes and resting a hand on my cheek "Ah. Bells." I squealed as he pulled me on top of him. The sheet that was rapped tightly around me fell slightly. I went to recover it but his hands stopped me cold. Soon he had me flipped over on my back, his body between my legs. This time the sheets fell all the way off of him. I focus, deliberately, away from the area. Fortunately, my covers were still on in that area for me. I held in a moan as he kissed up my chest to my neck
Keep on track Bella! Don't get-
I was cut short of thought as he licked the nape of my neck. Oh. Dear. Lord.
"Jake.." I breathed. His mouth was so busy all he could get out was a hmm."Don't you have practice at 4?"
"It's okay. Were aloud to miss this one" he pressed harder against me. I held my breath as he descended down toward my breast again. Pulling down the sheet so I was reviled, he was breathing hard. I felt my breath creeping toward hyperventilation. Before he could get his mouth down...there, I pulled it to my lips. Our tongues fought against each other as he wiggled his way inside my sheet with me. Ring, ring, ring! I stiffened underneath him.
"Jake, it might be Charlie" he huffed and rolled off me. I ran for the bathroom, this time not bothering with the sheet.
"Hello?" I said winded
"Now you answer!" Alice chimed in. I smiled to myself, happier to hear her voice then ever.
"Sorry, I didn't wake up till like 5 minutes ago"
"Uh-huh, you hungover, I can tell. Anyways we have a lot to talk about, Bella. Can you come over?" she said talking in her normal fast speed.
"Uh, yeah. I'll be over in like 10?" I asked
"Kay, bye" she hung up. I came back in the room to see Jake still on the bed waiting. Gathering my cloths up, I covered myself with them. His smile fell into an immediate frown once he realized what I was doing.
"Alice needs me." I shrugged turning for the bathroom.
APOV
Bella and I sat on my bed trying to sort out my dilemma. It had been this silent after I told her the story of the night before. I could tell she was in deep thought because her eyebrows were pulled together, making frown wrinkles on her forehead.
"Well, do you love him?" she asked out of the blue. I didn't hesitate because I already knew my answer.
"Of course I love him, Bella"
"and there's no one else you want to be with?"
"Uh, n-no" I stuttered
"Then what's the problem?"
"I'm only 18" I almost yelled.
"Alice, your making this way more difficult then it needs to be. I know you, and I know that you guys will be together when your 20 something! So what's the difference of saying yes now. He's completely in love with you and don't tell me you don't feel the same way" Bella grabbed my hands while saying this. When she explain it that way I felt stupid. I felt stupid for even thinking I might want to be with someone else. Jasper was sweet, confident in a modest way, the whole package really. I felt guilty of all things. I ran out on Jasper and probably made him feel like a complete fool.
"Up to make a visit to Jasper?" I asked Bella.
At Jasper's house.
I sat next to Jasper holding his hand. To tell you the truth I was surprised he even chose to talk to me after what I did. I was sure to keep our eyes locked. It took me a moment for me to talk. I was practicing breathing right.
"You don't know how bad I feel. Obviously I hadn't been thinking straight. I'm not making excuses for myself but it caught me way off guard. I love you Jasper and, if your still willing, I would love to marry you" He eyed me before smiling a huge grin. I returned the smile as he got on one knee. Pulling a box out of his pocket, he open it before me. I heard Bella's gasp over my own. It was a ribbon shaped diamond ring.
"Remember when I gave you one similar to this on our first date? The one I got out of the vending machine?" I nodded bringing my ring finger to show him I still had it on. But by now, of course it far tarnished. "Well, I thought I'd get you a ring that mattered and had reason. This is just the engagement ring. The actual ring you will get later on" he pulled the ring out of the box and I removed my tarnished one replacing it where the engagement ring was. He looked at me confused.
"It's the first thing you ever gave to me. I wanna keep it" I clarified. Tears began to form as he slipped it on my finger. Before he could make a statement on my crying I hugged him tight. Over his shoulder I saw Bella. She was crying to, like a proud mother. She mouthed an I love you and I did the same.
